The secretary of the treasury reports
that the receipts of the government from
I'LL sources during tho fiscal year ended
June 30, 1898, including $S4, ISL 1923 re-
ceived from sale of Pacific railroads,
amounted to $4O5, 32l ,33', and its expendi-
lures to S443, 1868, 5S3. There WAS collected
from customs $l4Y, 576 Oj? and from inter-
nal revenue $40 90064l. Our dutiable
imports amounted to 1921, 735, 40, de-
crease Of &5S, 156, 100 over the pre-
cediny year and importations FREQ
of duty amounted to Sol. Ala, 175, a de-
crease from the preceding year Of $9O, 1884,

those Of tho preceding year by 81 ,2l2,OB8
The total tux collected on distilled spirits
was S02 54G, $50, on manufactured tobacco
&36, 333O, 523, and on fcrmented liquors
$39, 5l5,42l
We exported merchandise during the
year amounting to $l,23l 1872 $3.50, an in
crease of $3.50, 4SS, ia from the preceding
year.
1t is estimated upon the basis of present
revenue laws that the receipts Of tho gov

The provisions made for strengthening
the resources of the treasury in connection
with the war has given increased conf
dence in the purpose and power Of the
government to maintain tho present
standard and has csta 3lishcd more firmly
than over tho national credit ut home and
abroad. A marked evidence OF this is
found in the inflow Of gold to the
treasury Its net gold holdings on Nov

$l53,573,17 On Nov. l, 1897. and an in

Of its more salient features IL appropriate.

The Engagement ut Manila bay.
The next engagement was destined to
mark a memorable epoch in maritime
warfare The Pacific feet, Hlder Commo
dore George Dewey, had lain for some
weeks at Hong Kong. Upon the colonial
proclamation Of neutrality being issued
and the customary - hours notice being
given, it repaired to Mrs bay near Hong
Kong, whence 1t proceeded to the Philip
pine islands, under telegraphic orders to
capture or destroy the formidable Spanish
feet then assembled ut Manila At day
break on May l the American force
entered Manila bay, and after few hours
engagement effected the total destruc-
ton Of the Spanish fleet, consist
ing of 10 warships and transport,
besides capturing the naval station and
forts at Cavite, thus annihilating the
Spanish naval power in tho Pacific ocean.
and completely controlling the bay Of
Manila, with the ability to take the city
at will. Not life was LOST on our ships,
the wounded only numbering seven, while
not vessel was materially injured. For
this gallant achievement the congress,
upon my recommendation, fltly bestowed
upon the actors preferment and substan-
tial recognition. The result Of this re-
markable victory upon the spirit of our
people and upon the fortunes Of the war
wds instantaneous. A prestige Of invinci-
bility thereby attached to our arms,
which continued throughout the struggle.
Reinforcements were started to Manila

The Philharmonic Club.

The organization which, during the
past three years has been known as the
Preparatory School orchestra, has this
year been strengthened by the addition
of several new members and is now
known as the Philharmonic club. 1t has
been holding weekly rehearsals all year
in preparation for the concert, which will
be given on Thursday evening of this
week in the state preparatory school
building.
The club consists of fourteen mem.
bers. The club has always been known
as an exponent of classical masic. The
concert this year will be even better than
those of previous years. Schubert's "Un'
finished Symphony" and the overture to
Won Weber's der Freischui,z," will con.
stitute two numbers of the concert. The
chorus club of the school will give two
choruses.
The concert is for the benefit OF the
piano fund of the school, and will be well
worth the small price of admission, 35c.
Tickets may be obtained at Fonda's
drug store.

The University.

Since the appearance of the catalogue
of the university, the Denver papers
have had many kind expressions con-
cerning the institution. The Denver
Times last evening said:
Many valuable additions have also
been made to the curriculum. The
courses of study in the college of liberal
arts have been revised to include group
electives, as we'll as required subjects and
those characteristic of the course. The
Junior and senior work of the medical
school, heretofore omitted, will this year
be included IN its work, with excellent
facilities, and in the fall the law school
will enter upon a complete three wear
course. Several high schools throughout
the state have been added to the list
from which diplomas will be accepted as
emitting applicants to admission to the
university.
Under such showing the university
management is certainly entitled to con.
gratulations upon its work for the year
and the people of Colorado upon the pos
session of SO thoroughly excellent and
progressive an institution. The univer.
sty has long been hampered by lack
of funds, and it is to be regretted thai
unless legislative relief is afforded by the
next general assembly it will be com

from Senator Wolcott that free delivery

Gen. Merritt's refusal to start with 1000
regulars for the Philippines and large
body of volunteers is based upon a
knowledge of the ways of the govern.
ment. The promise to send more regu.
lars will be too uncertain to bank upon,
as can be seen by the delay of the gov
eminent in sending reinforcements to
gallant Dewey. Nearly four weeks will
have elapsed before relief has started
and three weeks for the trip added to
that makes pretty long wait for man
in position like Dewey's. Had his
position been less favorable the delay
might have resulted disasterously for the
heroic Americans.

A meeting of the members of the
Knights OF Pythias band will be held to
night to consider ways and means for re.
organization. 1t is to be hoped that an
amlcable and satisfactory arrangement
can be made-one that will insure a per-
manent organization for Boulder. The
city is altogether too large to be without
a band, and band in which we can take
especial pride. Such an organization
will receive the full and hearty support
of the citizens. The celebration at
Ward, in honor of the completion of the
Colorado & Northwestern will call for
an immense delegation of Boulder citi
zens, and it will be necessary for band
to accompany that delegation. Thus it
is that the organization should be effect
ed Immediately, so as to get into condi
ton for the event. During the coming
summer, with the presence of the Chau-
tauqua visitors, there will be constant
necessity for a musical organization
We must have the band and Boulder
must encourage its organization.

The decision as announced from
Washington, leaving the conduct of the
war in the hands of the men who are do
ing the fighting will appeal to everyone
as being little nearer logical than any
thing that has yet been done. The idea
of leaving the direction of campaign
in the hands of pencil and paper brl-
gade at the capital is a little too imprac-
tical to be used even against such rank

The statements of the three National
banks of Boulder, published in the Cam
era last Friday, exhibited the stupendous
sum of so5I,e2I.II on hand subject to
check. This, we believe, exceeds any
showing hitherto made by the combined
banks of Boulder. This would indicate
some prosperity and great deal of idle
money for town of 1000 souls, were it
not that the statement shows loans and
discounts to have been oo,o43oI, or
nearly half million. These figures tell
the story of stable banking and a pros.

Gentlemen:-It is with great satisfaction that
I am able to form you that my gold watch you
transform ed from a Key-winder to Stenl-wind-

The use of the key being so inconvenient,
decided some time ago to have the change made,
and took the watch to some of the prominent
watch makers of the city; in every instance the
only way could have it changed was to buy a
new watch, and this was quite contrast with
your low price. Fortunately was recomn end
