Secretary Gage Estimates 1t at S25.-
100000 Per Month.
Washington, March 6.-The testimonv\of
Secretary Gage as to the condition of the
treasury and it's requirements, in order to
meet the monetary demands of the war
as given before the Senate committee on
finance, was made public to-day.
The secretary stated that the best esti-
mates placed the extraordinary expenses
for the war and navy departments at $751;
100000 up to the first of July next, in addl-
ton to the $5O,OOO.OOO voted for national Ge-
Tense. y-111ato 10
He thought that from 100000 to $50, OO0,-
600 in addition to the ordinary revenues
would have to be realized between now and
July to preserve the gold reserve intact
Mr.. Gage said he knew of no other
method for raising this extra money ex-
cept by taxation or the sale of bonds
The secretary refused to furnish an esti-
mate of the expense of the war after July
because he had no data from the war and
navy departments, but he gave the COM
mittee what he called a guess" based on
the best information obtainable, placing
the figure at 100000 a month, in addi-
ton of the ordinary expenses.
Mr. Gage expressed the opinion that it
would be impossible TO place as much as
$i000O0,000 of the loan among individuals
and in small sums.

ty had r~epudiated the Clark outnt. IT
couldn't be called q faction any more
and ought to Join either the republican
or the popuiist party.
On motion IL was decided by q nearly
unanimous vote to appoint q new nm
ance committee. 1t was also decided
that from nov until the close of the
campaign new nance committees be
elected ~semi-weekly. Some favored
having a new committee every day,
but that was voted down. the majority
considering that a new committee ev-
cry three days would be often enough
to give every member Of the central
committee a fair turn in the finance
committee. II was also voted to put
the members OF the finance committee
under bonds. and 1t was voted that
the newly appointed committees should

whereas. the republican party
without the help thus granted would
not have the remotest chance Of sue

would doubtless be much out Of pock-
ct; therefore. be II
Resolved. First. That we extend to
sal w. A. Clark our most heartfelt
thanks for the assistance he has rem
dered US as a party and to each of us
individually.
Resolved, Second. That we most
highly commend Mr.. w. A. Clark for
his lofty self-denial and high moral
purpose in leaving his pleasant sur
roundings in Paris to come to Silver
Bow county in order to purify the de-
plorable politics OF this county.
Resolved. Third. That we are with
Mr.. Clark most heartily. and will as
sist him to the best OF our ability in
his work Of restoring to office those
who made so glorious and so desirable
the late administration of ex-Mayor
Thompson and those who graced with
their presence the county court house
before the democratic rascals took our
snap away from US.
Resolved, Fourth. That Mr.. w. A.
Clark. having made victory for us and
for the cause of gold possible. be in
vited to visit in every election here
after. and that he be mad an honor
airy membe of us.
Resolved. Fifth. That in purifying
the politics of Silver Bow county II is
important not to overlook the county
ticket while working for the success
of the legislative ticket, Inc we would
respectfully uggest to Mr.. Clark thai
he make such further appropriation as
seems to him At and generous to be
used for the benent OF the republican
portion Of the county ticket.
