New York Stock Exohange Startled by
New Ruling.
New York, May 20.-A ruling by
Judga Holt, of the United States dis
trict court, directing a member of the
New York stock exchange to sell bis
seat for the benefit of creditors, has
upset all precedents of the Exchange.
The ruling was made in the cans of
Edward Sanford Hatch of the Arm oV
Uulburt, Hatch as Co., agalrmt whom
a petition in bankruptcy was filed in
August last Tholr liabilities were
$175,000 and assets about $14,000, ex
clusive of Hatch's, seat on the Ex
change. The owner of the seat
refused to apply it to Die assets and
(he trustee In bankruptcy petitioned
Judge Holt with the abova result An
appeal wilt t taken to the higher
courts as His matter Is one of great
Importance to brokers.
Governors of the stock exchange
always have maintained that mem
berships are not property In the com
monly accepted version of the term.
The only money received by the Ex
change upon the transfer of a seat Is
the $1000 Initiation fee required for
each new member. Their contention
U strengthened by the fact that the
Exchange U not sn Incorporated body
but a voluntary asMoclallqn, and It
wuulTTe null poMibl for Ita ruling
powers to decline to accept for no sta
ted reason whatever men who might
undwtake to purchase the seat which
Judge Holt has directed to be sold.

BRITISH MAKE SORTIE
AND THRASH THIBETIANS
Daring Dash Demoralized Enemy, Who
Resisted British But Quarter of an
Hour--Small Casualties.
New York, May 20. A British fore
mad a sortie this morning in order
to clear a house six hundred yards
from the compounds which the Thibe
tans had occupied with 60 men, says
a dbtpatch from the London Times
correspondent at Gyangtse, Thibet
Everything was carried out success
fully Jut before dawn. The British
casualties were Insignificant The
enemy resisted a quarter of an hour
and It was necessary to blow In the
main doors. The guns from Jong
joined In but made poor practice In the
darkness.
The situation remains the same.
The flight of the Chinese sold to have
been representing General Na, was ap
parently followed by grater activity
In placing the Chinese quaters of
Cyangtae in a stole of defense. This
quarter is In front of Jong, directly
facing the British camp; and the in
struction of Thibetans Is of consider
able Importance as corroborating the
entire rejection of their old subserv
ance and unwillingness to allow the
middle kingdom to exert any influence
In public affairs or maintain the social
supremacy which hitherto has been a
unquestionable as that of British
India.

ECHOES OF WHEAT DEAL.
Judgment Asktd Against Hsrper of
Cinoinnst! Notoriety.
New York, May 20. Echoea of the
famous "Cincinnati wheat deal," of
nearly 20 years ago have been awak
ened by a judgment for $180,104,en
tered here against Edward L. Harper,
head of that disastrous speculation,
and at that time bank president Har
per was sent to the penitentiary for 10
years on 33 indictments, by Judge
8age, In the United States court in
Cincinnati, December 13, 1887. The
Judgment just entered here Is In favor
of John V. Lewis of Cincinnati, on six
notes made by Joseph V. Wilshire of
that city, and which were endorsed
by Harper.'
The action was tried recently when
attorneys for Lewis declared that
Harper received the notes during the
wheat deal with the understanding
that they were not to be negotiated,
but Harper heard that Lewis carried
a dally balance of 300,000 In a New
York bank, and got the money from
the Institution. Lewis settled with the
latter and sought tr recoup himself in
the courts.
Harper Is said to be now connected
with a steel company with offices In
New York.
