DISSOLUTION ORDERED.
New York stock Exchange Takes
Drastic Action with a Member.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The New York
Stock Exchange has taken an action which
is said to have few precedents in the his
tory of the exchange, and ordered the dis
solution of a brokerage firm of which one
Of its members is a party. Under the
power conferred by the constitution of the
exchange the governing committee has
warned Paine, Schuyler & Co. that they
must dissolve partnership within the next
thirty days. The firm is composed of Sid
ney S. Schuyler. who is the board member;
j. Overton Paine and the latters brother.
Thomas B. Paine. The Paines were. until
a short time ago, connected with the Con-
solidated Exchange, where j. Overton
Paine is reported to have made great deal
Of money. He resigned a few weeks ago.
and with his brother joined Mr.. Schuyler
in the firm which is now about to dissolve.
No specific charges have been formulated
against the firm, but the right Of the ex-
change to order dissolution Of firm and
the particular significance OF the order, so
far as It affects Paine, Schuyler & Co.. is
contained in section Of the constitution.
which reads:
whenever it shall appear to the govern
ing committee that member of the ex-
change has formed partnership whereby
the interest and good repute of the ex
cnange may SulIer, the committee may,
after investigating the facts of the case.
require the said member to dissolve the
partnership"
Suspension is the penalty for failure to
comply with this requirement.
John Everett Paine made a statement
later in the day, in which he said that a
continuous effort TO blackmail him and in
jure his credit in the street has been made
by certain persons for the last year. NO
tice of our dissolution" he said, sis already
prepared, and will be handed to the secre-
tary of the exchange at the opening
Monday. The moment the dissolution is
announced / shall make full statement,
which will place matters In their true light.
l regard the whole matter as an act of
jealousy. resulting from my bear raid In
December last, and the more immediate
recent failure of Stock Exchange house,
which was unable to meet its obligations TO
me. My statement on Monday will en-
brace all these features of the case.

THE KAIsER's NAVAL BILL CERTAIN

Votes the Right Way.

Copyright 1900, by the Associated Pressl
BERLIN, June 9.-The Reichstag debates
during the last days were quite interesting,
although the final passage of the navy bill
is a foregone conclusion. The manner in
which Herr Mueller. Centrist, on Friday
fiercely took to task the minister of COM
cerce, Herr Braefeld, and the minister of
the treasury, Baron Won Thielmann,
showed that the government. under the
present circumstances, is willing to stand
almost any treatment from the Center.
provided the latter passes the navy bill.
Incidentally the panic which seized the
German Boerse on Thursday. under which
even the most favorite securities. indus
trials and coal shares. went down in some
cases from 10 to IA per cent, came up. and
Herr Lucke, the Agrarian. said that an
other German ''krach' like that of 1878
was pending owing to transportation and
greed.

SOFT COAL FOR EUROPE.
One American Company Prepared to
Ship Forty Million Tons.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 9.-Owing to
the great demand by foreign coal dealers
for American bituminous coal, Greenville

the greatest coal-shipping point on the
coast. z. ]. Deriving, of the Deriving White
Coal Company, is quoted saying that he
could ship 100000 tons of bituminous coal
Immediately to Europe IL his company had
the facilities for handling such an immense
amount 1t was at first believed here that
the British-Boer war was responsible IN a
measure for the scarcity of soft coal In
Europe, but now ii is the opinion that many
of the mines have become exhausted. Amer
lean producers were compelled TO ignore
innumerable requests from foreign dealers
for large shipments because the demand at
home was equal to the supply. Now IL Is
understood the European market is being
sought, as arrangements are under way TO
supply both home and foreign trade.

and Sigsbee had won public attention to
an exaggerated degree. Hobsons book

hadn't killed himself and everything con-

pensive for the publishers. It's a dreadful
thing for a clever and brave young man
to be absolutely devoid of a sense of hui

1.-The human note was what the public
wanted The writer's who recognized that
fact got the public ear. Ninety-nine men
out of a hundred didn't care an atom about
the strategical conduct of the war, or the
weighty questions involved in it, but they
were absorbingly interested in individual
dramatic experiences. They didn't want
TO know about the movements of great
bodies Of men. They wanted to know how
one man behaved. how he fought and suf-
fered and laughed and groaned and won

who stayed at home craved. and realism is
individual, not general Davis anu Roose-
Welt saw that little fact and their books
sold. good many newspaper men and
writer's of magazine articles-the two were
identical in this case-grasped that fact
too. The greatest magazine hit of the war
time was a mans story of how 1t felt to
be shot. vivid bit of personal experience.
The public jumped at ii. They would have
jumped just the same IL Ii had nothing to
do with our own war. IT was realistic
drama brought down to individual sensa-
ticn. The rest of the mans work didn't
attract much attention, but in that one
thing he hit public taste squarely between
the eyes. It's a pity more writer's didn't
understand the game-and that more pub
fishers didn't.

that he skips the descriptions and the

WASHINGTON. June s.-The State De-

the action of Consular Agent viasco. at

the Ranger. in interfering with the local
Mexican magistrate at La Paz in the effort
to hasten the trial of one of the two
Grigsby brothers on a charge of malicious
persecution. The Grigsbys. an American
business firm at La Paz, were prosecuted
by discharged employe, native, for ma
licious persecution. and the case is pending
before the Mexican courts. The American
officials above referred to addressed a
written request to the magistrate to be
furnished with the record in the case. AS
the Mexican government has already
shown g. commendable disposition TO &C
cede to all proper representations from
Minister Clayton respecting this case,
which was running smoothly in the diplo-
matte channels, the action OF the naval
captain and the consular agent was re-
