Northern Pacific Dividend a Disap-
pointment to Wall Street,
TEE STOCK WEAK IN CONSEQUENCE
Entire List Was Influenced by
This Circumstance.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS


Special Dispatch 70 The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June 16.-The dIsappoint-
ment resulting from the failure to get more
than a l per cent dividend on Northern
Pacific common instead Of the generally ex-
pected 2 per cent forced substantial de-
cliEes In toGay's stock market. The unex-
pected conservatism of the directory was
taken to confirm the reports Of crop dam
age in the west and to emphasize the re-
cent utteraEces Of well-known railroad Off
Gals as to the unpromising prospect for
continued increases In earnings.
When it Is remembered that the dividend
meeting was postponed from Wednesday
until Friday in order that prominent
banker, just home from Europe. might be
consulted, 1t may be inferred that his rea-
sons for suggesting the action included
some not wholly favorable to foreign con-
ditions. The episode is given more than
ordinary prominence because of the care
taken to prevent mistakes.
That the 2 per cent was earned is not
questioned: that It was not paid suggests
preparations for loan period. The &C
ton Is wise and should lend new confidence
to Northern Pacific, but it is a note of
warning which shrewd investors will heed
in other directions less conservative.
The London market showed Its surprise
by declines carrying from q to "a per cent.
Similar declines were recorded on this side
and only few stocks attempted any re-
Sistance.
The grangers were especially weak. Atch-
ison preferred being stronger than Its
neighbors for time, but later In the day
1t, too. gave way under pressure Union
Pacific was sold down largely because Its
dividends were thought to be as uncertain
as those of Northern Pacific and because
good policy will govern the directors in
that property. The short interest was in
creased during the day and there was scat
tered liquidation by commission houses:
The street Is generally Of the opinion that
period Of lower prices has come and that
rallies will be short lived and Of small pro-
portions.
News from China was generally of dis
quieting though unconfirmed variety, and
European markets were thought to be SEN
sitive to such advices. The local market
in foreign centers, and the professional
clques may be relied upon to force low
level for all foreign offerings.
Liquidation must soon appear unless the
stronger banking interests take an active
part in the daily trading. Politics are a
disturbing factor and confidence is being
shaken to the result In spite of the
differences between the present and 1896.
the stock market, in the opinion of ex-
cellent Judges, will be quite as nervous dur
ing the critical periods of the contest.
The bank statement was rather common
place owing to the small net changes A
decrease Of 1878. 900 in the surplus reserve
was the net result Of all changes An In
crease of over two millions in loans was
dations as the result Of the narrowness In
speculation. The gold exports were re-
f1ected in the cash holdings by decrease
Of a trife more than $500, 900.

THE OFFENSIVE QUESTIONS
MEDICAL SOCIETY's VIEWS OF THE
EMINENT PROPERTY.
Full Responsibility Therefor As.
sumed by the SOciety-The Discon-
tinuance of Inquiry Regretted.

At meeting of the Medical Society of
the District of Columbia, held the 18th in
slant. a series of resolutions was adopted,
In which the society assumes responsibility
for the investigation of health conditions In
the public schools. recently discontinued by
order of the Commissioners. The resolu-
tons recite that:
"An investigation inaugurated by the
committee on public health Of this society,
solely in the interest of public health, to
determine the effect of school life in the
District of Columbia upon pupils in the
public schools, has been abruptly terminal
ed by those in authority without due In
quiry as to the purpose and effect thereof.
Through misunderstanding and misrep-
resentation the school authorities nave been
subjected to unjust criticism and ridicule,'
therefore the society declares:
SOciety's Responsibility.
1. THAT this society assumes the entire
responsibility for having instituted the in
vestigation, and believes that it was emf
nently proper for the school authorities to
furnish the information sought, and is Of
opinion that such objection as was raised
to particular questions originated in mis-
understanding as to the methods to be pur-
sued to obtain the data desired.
=. That this society commends the
school authorities for the assistance fur
n.shed by them in furthering the investiga-
ton.
3. THAT this society regrets exceedingly
that the time and labor already spent in
this investigation by its committee on pub
lie health and the school teachers should
be rendered ineffective by the premature
termination of the inquiry.
4. That in the judgment of this society
every question asked was material and rele-
want. in view of the irnpossibility of deter
mining the effect OF school life without
knowledge Of home environment.
). THAT this society desires to impress
upon those In authority that the physical
condition of school children IS being inves-
tigated in other cities. notably, Boston and
Chicago and that similar inquiry will
sooner or later have to be undertaken In
the District of Columbia If its citizens de-
sire to have the curriculum Of Its public
schools adjusted to the physical capabilities
of the pupils"

Consul Hughes Reports Higher Prices
Will Prevail.
Consul Hughes, at Coburg. has made
report to the State Department in regard
to recent strikes in Europe, in which he
says:
THE great Austrian coal strike has come
to an end: but its unfavorable consequences
will be severely felt in ceramic industries
for a considerable time, the price of coal
continuing from 30 to so per cent higher
than 1t was before the strike. The con-
tracts which large concerns had made are
of no use to them now, as they contained.
almost without exception, a clause accord
ing to which they become null and void
on the outbreak of a strike. There is hard
ly any chance of manufacturers recovering
this loss by obtaining other materials at
cheaper prices, as everything used in these
industries has gone up. There is every
probability that the prices of ceramic prod
ucts will be raised in the near future.
China doll heads are already sold at 10 per
cent higher prices than formerly. and mold
ed china goods have advanced 20 per cent"

Albert Mackail, ColOred, Sent to
Smallpox Hospital Today.
Albert Mackall. colored, twenty years of
age, was sent to tho smallpox hospital to-
day, making twelve patients there. Mack
all says he has been in Baltimore since
Monday last, during which time the local
health department officials have been
searching for him, as 1t was understood
that he was one Of a large party of col
ored excursionists that went down to Not
ley Hall, just below Alexandria, that day.
Mackall came over from Baltimore last
evening, remaining in Rosslyn last night.
He Is about recovered from the dis
ease, and says a physician in Baltimore
told him ne had fully recovered.
William Coates and Daniel Hawkins. two
colored men. who are said to have been on
the excursion. were sent to tho detention
camp last evening. Mackau appears to
have had the disease about a month, and
It. Is probable, say the health department
authorities. that a number Of people sent
to the hospital recently from the southeast
section of the city contracted the disease
from him.
