The following letter, written from
Washington City, though delayed in pub

Washington, u. C., May 5. We are
making history pretty fast now, and it
is inspiring to see with what magnifi
cent sweeps the whole people throw
themselves from one attitude ~ an
other. There We're almost violent diff
ferences about the policy Of going to
war, but now the war is the whole peo-
pie pronounce for a satisfactory com
clusion Of it.
The noblest determination of the
South is the romantic feature of the
situation. Without effort or parade she
has furnished the hero of the hour
from the old guard and her response to
the call Of the Commander-in-C Chief for
soldiers has been all that he could
have hoped for And Of the South
North Carolina is in her accustomed
place The policy here is that she
quietly acted and left self praise for
those who need it. Her older soldiers
have kept company with the boys in
the guard
~ BUM dS WAR WAS HecldFeu zen.
Roberts asked for assignment to duty.
Col. Burguyn has asked for active field
duty and scores of others have mott
fed the War Office that they awaited
orders. Ii makes one feel that it is
good to belong to a people who never
falter in the right and who are modest
IN the ways. The kilograms of the last
hour keep your readers informed of the
stirring events of the conflict. and this
is written only to LET us people know
what others are saying Of us in great
crisis.
In times of calamity whether private
or public brave manhood has always
been supported and upheld by the help
of noble and self-sarrihcing womanhood.
At the National Council Of Colonial
Danes, which met in this city the fol
lowing resolution was introduced by Mrs.
Mason, of Rhode Island. and seconded
by Mrs. Chauncy, Of New York.

OVER A MILLION A DAY.
New Figures Regarding the Cost of the
Wa With Spain.

Chicago, Oct. PA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Uncle Sans expenses for the Span
ish war sink into insignificance when
compared to the cost of the conflict be-
tween the states. Thus far the war with
Spain cost s1s7, 529. 941, or a fraction
over 81 900, 900 per day since the begin
ming Of hostilities, April 81, against the
enormous sun of SO, O65. Ala, AIS during
the civil war. or an average of 81 $685.
1876 per day.
The largest amount paid out in a sin
gle day during the wal with Spain was
$4,110,0OO on July 2S, or nearly enough
to construct and equip a first-class bat
tleship. The next highest days were
September 10. when $3.775.O 900 was
spent. and July 10 with a total OF $3.-
10, 900. but the daily expenses frequent
ly ran above the 81, 900, 900 mark. The
budget for the four months Of the pres
ent fiscal year was s125, 112, $40, while
the expenditures for the whole fiscal
year OF 1897 were only $50 ,511, 713, and
for this month the average of 81, 1000, 900
a day was maintained.
In April the expenses for the army
and navy were considerably above the
normal figures, when they reached
nearly $40. 0OO, 900. May showed a per-
ceptible increase, when $26. 0OO, 900 was
spent. June was a further increase.
$29, 900, 900 passing over the treasury
counter, and July showed the highest
monthly expenditure, $43 900 900. The
next month witnessed a decrease, only
SAL ,000. 900 being spent. but September
reached nearly $32, 900, 600, and for the
twenty-five days of October the ex-
penses were about $19, 900 900, or
ly $1,000, 900 per day. The total dis
bursements of the government for the
four months of the present fiscal year,
which included the civil list, pension
payments and interest On the public
debt. were $223, 5S7, IA. The total re-
ceipts were only $153. 754 ,44S, showing
a deficit of s69, DOC, 900 for the fiscal
year.
The So, 900, 900 900 spent in the oper-
atoms of the army and navy during the
war Of the rebellion include the period
of the first three months Of 1861, when
active preparations for hostilities were
being made, and the last nine months
of 1865, when the expenses of the gov
eminent were unusually heavy.

MEN QUIT.
An Extensive Strike Due to an Order
About an Engine.

Denver Post: Nothing but mail is
moving over the Colorado Midland rail-
way. A general strike has been or
dered on the entire system. The shops
at Colorado City have shut down. due
to the stalling of all trains.
While NJ violence is threatened. the
men are determined that the same con-
dition shall exist until their demands
are acceded to.
The trouble started on Saturday
night. The men were ordered to send
out a three-engine crew with a freight
train. an order which was held to be in
violation Of the agreement between the
company and e The crew refused to
go and was discharged on the spot.
In sympathy. all the engineers. fire.
men and trainmen on the Colorado Mid
land struck and since Sunday morning
no freight trains have moved on the
road. Today the passenger trains were
tied up in the same shape.
The men have determined to cause
the government no annoyance and con-
sequently have carried the mail in the
regular mail car behind the locomotive.
Last night meetings were held at
Colorado City and Leadville and reso-
lutions were unanimously passed, to
the effect that If the crew was not re-
instated at once the men over the entire
line would go out on a strike.
General Superintendent Bryant at
Colorado City received last night a
message from Leadville, demanding
the reinstatement of the men. He re-
piled that it would be impossible to do
so until he had seen President Ristine.
He arrived in Denver this morning and
was closeted with President Ristine.
Il do not think the passenger crews
will strike" said the latter at noon.
"The men making the trouble are the
brakemen and freight crews. I have
nothing to add to the situation as moth
ing has been accomplished by the con-
ference"
Passenger trains over the Midland
this morning wen through from Den
yer without opposition. The threat has
been made. however, that tonight all
passenger traffic will be stopped.
THE STRIKE SETTLED.
A special from Colorado Springs last
night says: The strike on the Colora-
do Midland railroad at Colorado City
Is at an end. The conservative ele-
ment among the railroad men has won.
At 1880 o'clock tonight. after fifty
eight hours idleness, the first wheel
turned in the Midland yards, as engine
No. IS started out for Divide with a
freight train.
At 12:45 o'clock word was %telephoned
from the headquarters Of the railroad
union to the officials, meeting in Master
Mechanic Humphreys office. that the
men were willing to return to work
Orders We're Immediately issued by Mr..
Bryant to make up the freight trains
and have them ready to move within
two hours. Engines had been kept wait
ing at the round house all the afternoon
with steam up. so that it was but a mat
ter OF dividing up the freight rains.
The last freight cleared the Colorado
City yards at 9 o'clock and the blockade
was raised.
