new YORK FAILURE
STOCK BROKERAGE FIRM or A.
Q. SHOWN = co. sus
Ponds.
MADE the MARKETA NERVOUS
Came 40 climax to Phenomenal Trad
Ing Of Last saturday-Had
Many Branches In
other cities.

New York, Aug. 26.--The failure Of
the big brokerage firm Of A. o. Brown
& Co., for sum popularity estimated
as running well above 100000, sent
q nervous thrill through the stock
market Tuesday. Coming as q climax
to the bewildering trading In last Sat
urday's market, the suspension created
an extraordinary degree Of public in
terest, but was looked upon by high
stock exchange interests as offering
an early solution Of the tangle grow
ing out Of the most remarkable
two hours session the New York
stock exchange has known in many
years. -l-M ~~
While there was no question in Wall
street Tuesday afternoon that tho
situation created by Tuesdays fail
ure could easily be taken care
Of, there was distinctly feeling Of
apprehension lest other firms might
unwittingly be drawn into the affair as
result of the extensive orders scat
tered through commission houses dur
ing Saturdays spectacular proceed
ings.
The transactions of A. o. Brown &
Co. covered nearly rs per cent of the
trading in the sensational week end
session Of the stock market and 1t was
stated officially by q member Of the
firm that delivery had been made on
only 277,0O0 of the more than 100000
shares handled. How many Of the
outstanding shares represent the deal
ings Of customers and how many were
carried on the firms account 1t was
to learn.
The afternoon was filled with ru
mors as to various outside sources
that may have been responsible for
the course of the firm in Saturdays
market when the total sales recorded
on the floor Of the exchange for the
two hours of trading amounted to
more than 100000 shares, as against
one-third Of a million during the full
five hours session Of Monday, but
most Of these rumors were dissipated.
Mr.. Buchanan himself announced posi-
lively that the firm had had no rela-
tons whatever with Thomas W. Law
son.
Announcement Of the failure was
made on the stock exchange at 1885
b. M, when the market was ranging
from one to three points higher than
the closing Of Monday. There had
been heavy buying during the morn
ing hours, presumably on the part Of
brokers attempting to fill the uncov-
cred orders Of Saturday, and for a
time prices were maintained. The
market Closed heavy and uneasy, how
ever. at a decline.
A. o. Brown G Co. were members
of the New York Stock exchange,
New York Cotton exchange, Chicago
Stock exchange, Chicago Board Of
Trade, and the Cleveland Stock ex-
change. They had branch houses in
Chicago, Cleveland. Buffalo, Erie, Pa,
and Toronto. In this city they main
tained expensive branch offices in four
Of the fashionable hotels and at two
uptown addresses. Their principal Of
fee was at 80 Broad street, a few
doors. frov. the Stock Exchange build
ing. WITHIN the last few months the
firm had spent $4,000 in refurnishlns
its Broad street home.

Tangier, Aug. 24.-The defeat Of the
Sultan, Abd-El-Aziz by the forces Of
his brother Mulai Hafid has been con-
firmed. The sultan Of record was sur
prised on the night Of August 10, and
most Of his troops deserted to the side
of the usurping sultan after the firing
Of q few shots. Reports indicate that
the defeat Of Abd-El-Aziz was due
largely to the betrayal of his own
tribesmen. Mulai Hand has been pro-
claimed sultan Of Morocco at Tangier
and announcement of the proclamation
has been telegraphed to all parts Of
the country. All the officials who pre-
viously have been under the rule Of
Add El-Aziz in this city declare that
they have accepted Mulai Hatid as
their leader, thereby making him
supreme in all the large cities Of
Morocco.
Details Of the battle show that ADD
El-Aziz had an army numbering the
superior Of the enemy, but that his
artillery either failed to work or was
deliberately tempered with. Some Of
the guns exploded, throwing the
tribesmen into a panic. The vast ma
jority Of these seized the opportunity
to nee during the engagement and
general pillage broke out, many Of
the tribes seeking to carry of as much
booty as possible.
Abd-El-Aziz and his escort retreated
In an orderly manner to Settat, his
army being pursued by the victorious
troops OF Mulai Hafid. Abd-El-Aziz
was accompanied in his flight by the
grand vizier, the minister of foreign
affairs, the French military mission
and two British officers. A Tangier
newspaper stated that the British Of
ficers and several French officers are
missing.
1t is said that the former sultan
will proceed to Casablanca and that he
intends to go to Damascus.
