AT CITY HALL.

Once more have the people of Maine
assembled at city hall to greet the
states Chief Executive, and to enjoy
the pleasures incident upon the bien-
rial reception rendered to him, the
members of the Executive Council
and OF the Legislature, by the citizens
of Augusta, and once more have they
danced until the wee sma' hours of the
morning and gone home firm in the
belief that it was the most enjoyable
event of the kind in which they ever
had participated. The occasion was
Il complete success, as it always is,
and it could hardly have been other

the details were carried out with q
thoroughness that admitted of but enc

completely filled, and the crush upon

Regarding the appearance of the
hail itself, it never looked prettier.
The decorations upon some former oc

in the opinion of many who were
present, Tuesday evening the decora-

direction of a committee composed of

To Bulgarian Attack.
Tchata|ja Village, Limit Of BuI-
garian Lines, In Flames.
Diplomacy Has Made No Progress
Towards Peace..Turks Confident.

London, Feb. 4-The Turks remain
on the defensive at Tchatalja and
Adrianople. The Adrianople fortress
replies only feebly to the Bulgarian
bombardment, and apparently no at
tempt has been made in the way of a
sortie.
The Turkish newspaper Tanin as
serts that Adrianople has sufficient
provisions for four months and other
Turkish reports declare that the fort
ress certainly will be able to hold out
for several weeks.
Official quarters in Constantinople
breath spirit of great confidence in
the new regime and declare that the
condition of the country and the win
terry weather precludes serious opera
tons along the Tehatalja lines for the
present
Meanwhile diplomacy has made no
step forward since the resumption of
hostilities and the Porte has made no
further communication either to the
Powers or to the Allies. Should it
turn out that Adrianople can resist for
any considerable time, diplomatic ne
gotiations are likely To remain at a
standstill. although in the European
capitals settlement by diplomacy
rather than by arms is still hoped for.
There is no confirmation of the re-
ported occupation of Seutari by the
Montenegrins
A terrific bombardmert of the forts
surrounding the Turkish stronghold of
Adlianaple was begun. last evening, by
the Buigarians and Servians surround
ing .he city to the number of over
100000. Almost at the moment of the
conclusion of the armistice, at :
o'clock siege guns and field guns from
various points commanding the forts
opened fire, and it is believed that not
even the residential portion of the city
vas spared.
The vigorous attack by the besieg-
ers was made with the hope of bring
ing about the early fall of the fortress
which the allies consider will mean
the end of the war.

A sensational bill providing for

ployers and employees was introduced
by Representative George w. irving
of Caribou, Tuesday.
Mr.. Irving is secretary of the

The bill is directly engendered by
the Bangor & Aroostook strike and,
according to Mr. Irving, is likely to
pave the way for even more drastic
legislation in this respect. The con-

Wall Street Pervaded
By Clouds of Gloom.

New York, Feb. A decline of more
than 50,000,0O0 in the aggregate mar
ketable value of the seats on the New
York Stock Exchange is one measure
of the depths of Wall Streets gloom.
The latest sale of a seat was made for
$4,000, which is precisely one-half of
the high record. reached in 1909 1t
was learned, today that one or more
seats are now being offered for sale
at $4,000, with no takers.
On the assumption that $4,000 rep
resents the present marketable value
of a seat. the total shrinkage, on
paper at least, of the 10 seats ON the
Stock Exchange is s52, 100000.
Last November, a seat was sold for
$4,000. On the same basis. the decline
in about three months is s23, 100000.
Neither during the panic of 1907 nor
during the rich mans panic" of 1903
did the price fall so low, s51 900 having
been the low level at both those
periods.
Dwindling business is the eXplana-
ton of the decline in seat prices. The
intrinsic value CT a seat represents
but a small portion Of its price. The
huge gray stone palace which is the
home Of the Stock Exchange. and the
land on which it stands, are assessed
at $5,300,000, which represents an equity
for each member of less than $4,000.
There is also a gratuity of $4,000
which is paid to the family of a mem
Der who dies. More than this the
value of a seat consists merely in
good will'' or the privilege of trad
ing on the exchange and the facilities
offered to traders.
Wall Street has had three lean years
in the business of buying and selling
stocks and bonds. Business, last year
average less than 10000 share OF
stock a day, whereas. in 1905, the av-
erage was 100000. With the amount
of trading falling off and the total OF
commissions shrinking proportionate
~. the slump in the price of seats has
been natural sequence
