TAX ON STOCK SALES.
1t Is Bringing Thousands OF Dollars
Into the Treasury Daily.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-The enormous
tra1eactions recorded in the stock exchanges
during the past ten days have resulted in
the addition OF thousands of dollars TO the
daily receipts of the treasury from the oper-
atons of the internal revenue law. One day
last week the transfer Of $40. 900 worth
of stock certificates was recorded in the New
York stock exchange alone, and yesterday
the total transaction amounted TO over
1885, 600 shares, the largest Of the present
movement and next to the largest in the his
tory OF the exchange. Inasmuch as the Ding
ley revenue law imposes a tax Of cents On
each share of stock transferred, both fer
buying and selling, the receipts from that
source alone were $4,000 for one day. Be
sides this, exchanges in other cities and
bucket shops everywhere were also COM
PEELED to pay taxes on their business, so
that 1t Is estimated that somewhere between
$3.50 600 and $500, 600 was paid into the treasury
as the result of one days transactions. There
is no way of estimating what the receipts
are from any particular clause Of the Ding
ley bill requiring the use OF documentary
revenue stamps, but so long as stock trans
actions continue at the present high h-pressure
rate there will be at least $4,000 day re-
ceived by the government from this source
alone.

Currency Reform - MIR. Morgan
and His BiII-Bennett Cable Act.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-(Special.)-
Despite Bryans advocacy of no opposi-
tion to the ratification of the treaty the
Democrats in the senate, under Cor
mans leadership, are now pretty sub
stantially arrayed in fighting force.
The policy for which they will contend
is that there must be distinct dis
claimer by the United States of any
intention to enforce permanent SOW
ereignty in the Philippines. What the
ultimate form of this disclaimer will
be in uncertain; by amendment, it Is
now said, but considering that our pur-
pose is no concern of the Spaniard and
that an amendment must protract the
proceedings and hence would be obnoX-
ious to those senators, who. while hos
tile to expansion. yet are anxious for
the proclamation of peace, 1t seems
likely that the end will be sought by
Independent declaration, the main det-
riment to which is that 1t would have
to be passed by both houses. But
whatever the form, some such authori-
tative statement is the Democratic con-
dition precedent to ratification.
Polling is far more unpopular in the
senate than, in the house. senators gen.
orally regarding such an attempt on
the part of an associate as an act of
impertinence. Still, the most enHght
ened guess as to the status of the SEN
ate at present is that fifty-four favor
ratification, twenty-siX are opposed to
it and ten are doubtful. OF the twen-
ty-six, twenty-five are Democrats.
1t is apparent, at once. to all familiar
with the easy, untrammelled procedure
of the senate that the solidified opposi-
ton of such number, under the
adroit guidance of German, may we'll
prove an effective brake to action, for
legislation is mainly achieved in the
senate by the consent of the minority
1t is possible, Of course, especially
after the significant speech of Senator
Foraker, that a sufficient number of
Republicans will yield to the Demo-
cratic demand to pass such declara-
ton, for the treaty Is far more popu-
lar in the senate than Imperialism is.
But in that case another veXatious
question must arise. What about pay
ment for our gold brick? If we do not
want the Philippines, why should we
give 10000, 900 or twenty cents for
them? A cloud of discussion emanating
from these questions obscures the re-
suit. Indeed. should the treaty be rati

order to. avoid trouble. AS the Filipi-
nos disobeyed the command to halt,
deployed in the canebreak and assum-
ed determined, threatening attitude,
Lieut.. Jansen, who was in command
of the post, telegraphed to Brig. Hurst
and Gen. Otis, personally, who inves-
tigated the matter. The Filipino lieu
tenant was most excited, and Gen.
Otis insisted upon Intervening his
superior officer. Consequently, the Fill
ipino captain was summoned, and he
was also found to be excited AS a
result of the conference, he admitted
that the Filipino lieutenant had ex-
ceeded his authority. His men were
drawn up in line, salute courteous
were exchanged, and the Filipinos re-
tired.
The incident is significant, as it
shows the tendency Of the F1lfpinos to
disregard pickets, knowing that the
Americans are not willing to COM
mence hostilities, and it also. demon
strates the danger of irresponsible ju-
nior officers of the Filipino army pre-
cipitating trouble at any moment.
Another proclamation, purporting to
''W. T." appeared on Friday and ap-
piled In broken English to brother Of
f1cers and comrades to let the Filipinos
alone, and that, IF their officers were
compelled to fire to please fire in the
air." The proclamation also appealed
to Americans to disregard Filipinos
who pretend to favor annexation"
and alleged that the "American agita-
ton to hold the islands is fostered by
a few officers who are making money
thereby
The proclamation concluded with
paraphrasing the Monroe doctrine in
the words, "the Philippines for the
Filipinos."
NATIVE DENTIST ARRESTED.
A native dentist here named Arevlo
has been arrested. He denies the au-
thorship of the document, but admits
his connection with it. Other arrests
are probable. He has been twice i'm
prisoned by the Spaniards for treason.
He was formerly an aide of Aguinal-
do, and his arrest caused consterna-
tion among the Filipinos.
The native paper, Independence,
which is now published at Malolos,
was unusually vindictive today. Com
menting on the situation, it says:
''The Americans are trying all the
time to excite the Filipinos to COM
mence hostilities, in the meantime
tricking the natives for the purpose OF
gaining the necessary time for bring
ing out reinforcements."
The paper adds:
The proclamation, which was sup
pressed, and for which Arevlo was ar
rested, appears to have hit the nail on
the head. The Filipinos need fear
nothing. The American soldiers are
completely demoralized. They are un-
willing to fight a free people, who are
only demanding their rights"
The idea of possible deception is
probably more general than the au-
thorities know. A Filipino officer said
to the correspondent that it was ridic-
ulous for the Americans to think that
the Filipinos believe they are bringing
more troops and warships here to e.

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Jan. N.-But one vote
was taken for United States senator today. 1t
resulted practically the same as that of yes
terday, all sides standing firm, but the vote
of the principal candidates being lessened on
account of the absence of several members
of the assembly.
Alden Anderson was the first witness be-
fore the investigation committee today. He
stated that when Attorney Benjamin, Grants
agent, had offered the witness money with
which to make his fight, he believed that 1t
was the understanding that the witness was
to vote for U. s. Grant Jr. for the United
States senate.
C. E. Washburn testified that an assembly
man had told him that 5000 had been offered
the member to give Bulla his second choice
vote The offer had been made by James
Copeland.
Assemblyman Clough testified that Daniel
had written him after his nomination that If
he was a friend of Grant he could have all
the money he required to make his canvass
The letter in question went on to state that
fully so per cent of the members were pledged
to Grant, and that he would probably be
elected.

fact that an extra session of the entire con-
gress, as well as of the senate, would be
necessary in order to appropriate the $20,-
100000 made payable to Spain, he said this
was not true, as the terms Of the treaty did
not require the payment of the money until
after an exchange of ratifcations.
