Is the Wire Illegally Located:

The District Commissioners should have
no trouble In finding out whether the ex-
posed electric-lisht wire contact with which
resulted in the death of Lineman McKnee
is illegally located. II it proves to be with
out the support of law the remedy is SIM
pie and easily applied-District employees
sholIld remove it instantly. Such a pro-
oeeding might seem. at first glance. to be
a trifie abrupt. but the abyupt method is
much better than the filing of bill calling
upon the electrc-light company to show
cause why it should not be required to dis
continue the use of the wire in question
In some instances-notably as to the trolley
poles on New York avenue-the deliberate
proceedings in court met probably with
great public distrust and disfavor The
way to take wire down is to take it
down.

To Punish Charter Violations.

While Congress Is doing things for the
District-and there does seem to be a gen.
uine Congressional tendency in the right
directlon|t might well pass Senate bill
o'2' which provides for penalties for char
Ter violations by corporations operating in
'hls territory. Accompanying the favorable
report made by the Commissioners was in
formation sufficient to satisfy any disin-
teresfed person that the measure is an en-
tineiy proper one AS things now are. It is
possible for several of the local street-rail-
way companies to evade the control which
their respective charters place in the hands
OF the municipal authorities; frequent and
Migrant violations of neutrality-suspicious. go
Unpublished because the essential DenaItv-
clauses are generally conspicuous by their
absence 1t Isl not claimed by those who
represent the companies that the charter
demands are In any sense unreasonable, so
there Is but little likelihood of corporate
opposition to the bill in question But
whether there is or is not fight the merits
or the measure cannot he nationally decried.
The bill is wholly In the public interest and
should become law without delay

The Passing of Dunrayen,

When the New York Yacht Club expelled
Lord Dunraven from his position as an
honorary member of that organization 1T
uld so after mature deliberation and be-
cause it desired to unmis takably disap-
prove everything his iordship has done or
left undone in connection with his remark
able and completely refuted accusation of
dishonesty on the part of representative
American yachtsmen. The action of the
ciub may. however be expected to result in
another wave of English criticism Up to
this time British sentiment has been almost
unanimously adverse to Dunraven but his
expulsion at a time when it was known
that his resignation was on the Atlantic,
westward-bound, may be regarded as
harsh. The incident is. on this side of the
wafer, regarded closed, and closed in
such fashion as to render quite unlikely
airy races for the big cup in 1896

times? Some years ago a. Chinaman named
Chung Ling Fat ran g. laundry In. Ros-

and Industrious he accumulated savings to
the extent Of about fifteen thousand dol
lars. Another ChinaInan, joe Tye by name,
stole, so 1t Is said, all OF Chung Fats money

dollars and ut once sailed for China. Chung
followed the thief but Tye doubled. and

OF the Treasury holds that the prosecuting

be admitted to testify. There is often wide
variance bsstween tine letter and the shirt

as to permit elasticity Of spirit when ex-

FAILURE OF ". y. WHEELER d co.

A Former "Bear" Firm-Lack of Business
Mr.. Wheeler Well Known Yale Man,
New York, April 13.-The suspension
of w. B. Wheeler & Co., stockholders,
of No. Sc Broadway, was announced on
the stock exchange this morning. The
firm had no outstanding contracts on
the exchange and therefore no forced
Operations for their account were nee
essary. The suspension was brought
about by failure to meet certain de-
mands pressed to-day. Incidentally,
however it is to be ascribed to the pre-
vailing dul1ness in stock exchange bus
mess, which brought about state of
"dry rot"
The present firm was organized May
1, 1887, Mr.. Wheeler taking as his part
ner Emile Guillaudeu. Mr.. Wheeler
had been for some years previous
prominent operator on the exchange,
and he continued as the board repre-
sentative of his firm. being prominent
in speculation in the interest of big
"bear'' operators. Recently the de-
crease in commission business has had
it's effect on the firm, and certain legal
complications arising out of the obliga-
tons of customers have also mace tfou-
BILE. Some months ago the house was
reported to be in difficulties, but es-
caped suspension at that time. A re-
port given credence in Wall street to-
day was to the effect that the suspen-
sion had been forced by the demands
of a well known operator, and Mr.
Wheeler, both on account of his per-
soual popularity on the exchange ano
because of the nature of the report
"came in" to-day for a good deal Of
sympathy.
Intrinsically, the failure is a con1par'
atively small one. The liabilities of the
firm are said to be insignificant. and
with improvement in business and col
lections it is thought likely that the
firm will resume. The schedules have
