SEATS ON CHANGE FOR $4,000.
Highest Price Yet Paid for a Chance
to Gamble in Stocks.

New York Herald.
Wall streets rising tide of speculation has
created an unprecedented demand for Stock
Exchange memberships resulting in the
prices OF seats being forced up yesterday to
$So,0OO, the highest price on record. The
highest previous figure was $34 800 in 1885
At the time of the great boom in 1881 the
highest price touched was So, 000 There
We're several bidders for the seat that sold
yesterday for $4,000. but John Henry Town
send, assistant secretary of the Knicker-
booker Trust Company, son of the late John

lngs Bank, got it, Mr. ToWnsend's brother,
CharIeS j. Townsend of the firm of Town
send q Shera, has been a member since 1881.
John Henry Townsend is about thirty-five
years old, and is captain of Company A of
the seventh Regiment. He is also mem
Der of the New York Athletic Club. He is
said to feel some little pride in paying the
highest price UP to date for q membership
in the Exchange but it is expected by the
officers of the Exchange that seats will go
on breaking records and that before long
$4,000 will seem a small price to pay. At
the close of business yesterday $4,000 was
bid for seat and none was offered at that
price, because as one of the officers of the
Exchange said, none of the eleven hundred
members at present cares to sell. During
dull periods there have frequently been
seats for sale with no buyers in sight.
One of the officials of the Exchange said
Yesterday that he believed seats would be
selling for $4,000 within ten days, and at
$4,000 before spring. The rapid rise in price
is due to the tremendous transactions on the
Exchange and the wave of speculation that
largely increased business to the brokers'

the commission would have been $l2o,OOO, If
all of this had been regular commission bus
mess. In fact, however, very large
amount of this business is between the
brokers themselves. on which the commits
sion is only 81 a hundred shares.
As showing how prosperity or depression
affects the price of seats on the Exchange
as well as the prices of securities, it may be
noted that after the panic of 1888 the price
gradually went down as transactions fell off
until several years ago the price declined to

touched $4,000, which is represented to be

FILIPINOs AND INDIANS.

Our brief experience in dealing with and
fighting the Filipinos has led old army Of
ficers to note the resemblance between their
methods and those of our Indians. There
are no military men in the world who have
had more experience in savage warfare than
some Of our regular army officers. The
country scarcely appreciates the value of
the services rendered by some of them dur
irg many years of frontier life and Indian
campaigning, and probably they little
thought that the experience they were get
ting would prove valuable in a war between
the United States and Spain. There seems
to be a resemblance between Spanish and
Indian methods of warfare The tricks by
which our troops before Santiago were am
pushed, the manner in which the Spanish
starpshooters disguised themselves in
leaves, hid themselves in trees their fashion
of fighting from behind cover, the digging
of pits and the stretching of barbed wire
were all suggestive of Indian methods
Some of the best fighting done by Ameri-
cans in Cuba was by officers and men who
had had experience in Indian warfare which
had taught them how to fight a treacherous
foe and how to take care of themselves
while inhicting punishment on the enemy.
The Filipinos are even more like Indians
than the Spanish arc. They are not half
civilized, and what little civilization they
have is derived from the Spaniards, and is
consequently very crude. 1t is a thin We
neering of poor quality over a savage ma
ture Moreover, If the North American In
dams are of Asiatic origin, many eth
nologists believe. they may be racially re-
lated TO the Fflipinos, who are also of
Asiatic origin. At all events our brief ex-
perienee with the Filipinos has shown that
they possess some of the characteristics OF
Indians They are wary, suspicious. treach-
erous, inaccessible to generous treatment,
unable to discriminate between leniency and
cowardice, and with not much respect for

NICARAGUA'S REVOLUTION.
Two GunbOats viii Look After Inter-
eSts of the United states.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - Senior CorIea,
the minister from Nicaragua, called at the
State Department to-day in reference to the
revolution which has been in progress in
eastern Nicaragua for several days past.
The exact cause of the uprising is not known
here, but it is supposed to be one of the
first results of the recent rapid changes in
the relations of the States formerly united
in form Of the Greater Republic of Central
America. As the revolutionary movement
is so far confined entirely to the eastern
side of the country while Managua, the
capital and the seat of the governmental
resources. is on the west slope of the noun
tains, the difficulty experienced by President
Zelaya in his cndeavors to suppress the
movement are multiplied. The State De-
partment has been forehanded in looking
after the interests of the United States and
of the American residents in the disturbed
section The gunboat Marietta was near
the cast coast, and now, at the instance
of the State Department, she has been re-
inforced by the gunboat Machias, which
probably has arrived at Bluefields already.
The political dissensions which led to the
revolutionary outbreak are said to be COM
plicated with labor troubles

Mai. Russell Harrison.
Ieslie's Weekly.


By keeping the riotOus elements among
the Cubans and Spaniards well in hand and
maintaining strict order among the troops,
Maj. Russell b. Harrison, now the provost
marshal of the Seventh Army Corps in
Havana, is repeating there the excellent
record he made in Jacksonville and Savan-
nah before embarking with General Lee for
Cuba. In the former city Major Harrison
received the rare compliment and distinc-
ton of a resolution from the City Council
commencing him highly for his success in
the difficult role of keeping order among
large body of idle troops in big city The
Council also petitiOned the President in its
resolution to promote Major Harrison to the
rank of lieutenant colonel, which action is
made particularly noteworthy by the fact
that it is the only case during the war of
city asking for the promotion of an Off
Ger. In Savannah Major Harrison was the
recipient of great praise from army officers,
the press and people. Major Harrison has
had years of military experience, and his
efficiency is not a surprise to those who
know him well. 1T more than justities his
appointment by President Mckinley, and
brings out in strong light the unfairness of
the adverse criticism this appointment
aroused because Russell Harrison is 1.-THE
son of somebody" There is certainly no
justice in attempts to keep young men out
of positions they eminently qualified to
fill for the reason that they happen to be
sons of our ex-Presidents or of other dis
tinguiShed mer.

1t is interesting to note that much of the
good work in the recent fighting in the Phil
ippines was done by regiments from States
scarcely known in the civil war, or else ad-
mitted since. We read of a Kansas regiment
deploying with the Third Artillery OF regu-
lars, of a Utah battery bombarding the
insurgents from the land side, and that "a
Montana regiment advanced on the jungle.
The fact that all of these States We're
brought into the Union by expansion does

of their soldiers.

A bill providing for a convention to draft
a new State Constitution has failed again
in the Legislature. There is something adj
mirable in the tenacity with which the
American people cling to established form
and written Constitutions. 1t is a phase of
conservatism that argues well for general
results. Every Legislature knows that we
ought to have a new Constitution, and yet
every one says 'let us live under the old
one a little longer" Better that sort of
conservatism than revolution.

A Great Trunk Railway FaVOrs an
Editor with Pass.

Greensburg Cnd) Review.
An editors life is not always that bed of
roses that some people picture. 1t is not
every day that fills his soul with sunshine
and causes his heart to sing the praises of
his fellow-men. Some days are dark and
cheerless-a time when great curtains Of
gloom sweep before him like black banners
and obscure the good and beautiful. But
to the stout heart these things are not al
ways discouraging. The editor knows the
inky clouds will some time be riven and
he knows the golden glory of a brighter
day will come streaming in.
Such q realization came to US yesterday
when we received the following letter, in
closing an annual over the WestpOrt
Stone Belt Railway, the trunk line between
the Hollensbe Stone Company's quarries and
Westport. The letter is from the president
of the road and speaks for itself:
