WHAT THE WAR COST UNCLE SAM
EXPENDITURES THUS FAR LESS
THAN s2oo,ooo,oOo.
Comparison With Cost of the Civil
War-Highest Expenditures For
One Day Were 100000.

Chicago, Oct 24.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Uncle
Sans expenses for the Spanish war
sink into insignificance when compared
with the cost of the conflict between
the states. Thus far the war with
Spain has cost 1851, $780, 41, or a frac-
ton over $1000,000 per day since the
beginning of hostilities, April q,
against the enormous sum of S3,O65, 49,
Ais during the civil war, or an average
of 81, 6S5. 1876 per day.
The largest amount paid out IN q
single day duringIthe war with Spain
was 4,110, 900, July 2S, or nearly enough
TO construct and equip a first-class
battleship. The next highest days We're
Sept. 10, when SO, 10000 was spent, and
July 10, with a total of $3,71O,O00, but
the daily expenses frequently ran above
the SO, 900, 900 mark. The budget for the
four months of the present fiscal year
was $125, 112, $40, while the expenditures
for the whole fiscal year of 1897 were
only $50, 511. 713. and for this month the
average of $l,0O0,O00 per day was main
tanned
In April the expenses for the army
and navy were considerably above nor
NAL figures. when they reached near
$19, 000, 600. May showed a DerceDtible
increase, when $4,000, 900 was spent.
June was a further increase. 29,OO0,-
600 passing over the treasury counter,
and July showed the highest eXpendi-
ture of $43, O00,0 900. The next month wit
messed a decrease, only $31, GOO, 600 being
spent, but September reached nearly
1872, 600, coo, and for the % days of Oc-
tober the expenses were about $19,O00.-
GOO, or nearly 100000 per day. The
total disbursements of the government
for the four months of the present fiscal
year. which included the civil list pen
sion payments and interest on the pub
lie debt, was $223. 5S7 ia. The total re-
ceipts were only $685. 754, 445, showing a
deficit of s69, 900, 900 for the fiscal year.
The s., 900 900 spent on the operations
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.

PRESIDENT BARBER HERE.
HEAD OF THE WELL-KNOWN
ASPHALT COMPANY.
His Visit Has More Significance
Than Is Generally Knowingly
Buy Up Some Utah Beds.

The visit to this city of President A
L. Barber and others of the Barber
Asphalt company of New York, while
reported as being one of pleasure. has
mere significance than is generally
known The party arrived late Sunday
night over the Rio Grande Western
railway. in their special car. Convoy"
Mr.. Barber was yesterday in company
with Mr. L. c. Mariger of this city,
who is himself selling agent for local
asphalt company newly founded, and
which, though its corporate name is, for
prudential reasons, not revealed, owns
the largest asphalt deposit known to
have been uncovered in Utah. 1t is
learned that the Barber company is
now negotiating purchase of the beds,
comprising $40 acres. The local COM
Dany has, for some time past, carried
on a correspondence with the Barber
syndicate concerning the deal, and yes
terday Mr.. Mariger escorted the mag
nate on a tour of inspection of the
asphalt paving work in this city. The
work OF the Pacific and Gunner COM
panies was gone over. and the ONLY
two samples of the local product in the
city examined. One of these is at the
south gate of the tithing yard. The lat
ter was put in purely as a test and was
so arranged that all vehicles entering
the yard would strike the article as
heavy as possible. The same piece has
served four years, and yet shows very
few signs oe wear
The local product, it seems, is of eX-
traordinary value, having a great adj
vantage over the outside paving mater
ial. in that it contains a large quantity
of asphalt oil, and can be used for coat
ing battleships, guns, etc, without fur
Their preparation. For this reason the
Krupp gun works and the German
navy have both made bids for the val
liable field.
President Barber was very favorably
impressed with the showing made, and
the chances for the sale are considered
very promising. A member of the com
pany who was seen last night would
not give any information as to the
proposed consideration, beyond that the
sale would involve thousands of dol
lars

CAPTURED BY KING.
Utah's Congressman Does Good
Work at Frisco.
Especial to The Herald.)


Frisco, Utah, Oct. 2S.-Hon. w. II.
King addressed the people of Frisco
last night, and presented the financial
issue in such a lucid maE-er as to con-
vince many, who were formerly in
doubt. that their loyalty to bimetallism
demanded that they vote the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Frisco has been a strong Republican
camp in the past, and many TINS year
might have voted for the party name
again had not Mr.. King explained the
situation.
Mr. King made a most able address,
showing the positions of the two parties
on the silver question.
Some amusement was caused Dy a
Mckinley adherent remarking in halt
audible tone that the speaker was
threshing over old straw. MI klng
quick ear, however, caught IL, ana the
manner in which he asked If scoring
the Republican party for adopting the
gold standard and bankers control OF
the government in the last national
convention was "old straw" completely
captured the audience.
Mr.. King said he would be more fair
than the Mckinley interrupter TO his
marty and would give due credit to the
party of Lincoln and Grant, as all plat
forms declared for bimetallism previous
to 1886.
The number of former prominent Re-
pubIicans that have declared their In
tention OF voting the Democratic ticket
this year assures heavy majority for
the entire ticket in Frisco.
This afternoon Mr.. King delivered an
address in the Champion hall, detailing
conditions in Cuba as he saw them
upon his visit there last year, which
was listened to with rapt attention and
greatly appreciated.

MONTANA AND THE COAST.
Another Respite In Regard to the
Rates.

Chicago. Oct 24-Another respite has
been granted the Missouri river lines in
regard to the rates to Montana and
Northern Pacific coast points. The Chi
cago Great Western viii refrain for the
present from applying short line rates Tor
the lower Missouri river points TO Mon
tana, eastern Washington and North Pa
cific coast points. An opportunity Will be
afforded the transcontinental lines OF
considering all the questions involved be-
fore anything further is done in the mat
ter. Since the proposition TO apply snort
line rates by the route named was made
many complications have presented them
selves.
Rates from Duluth and the Superiors,
as we'll as from the Missouri river gate
ways, have been threatened with disturb
ance The Great Northern, which is as
directly involved as the Chicago Great
Western, has requested the latter to re-
frain from taking further action in the
matter at present, and that road has
complied.
OF course, this does not finally dispose
of the matters in dispute. but the roads
interested feel that a great point has been
gained when they have avoided the imme-
date application OF the rate.
Ii is believed that when full discussion
is =iYen the matter some way viii be
found OF reachinSra satisfactory conclu-
sion.

(speciai to The HeraIdD

Mona. Juab County, Oct. 24.-Secre-
tary of state Hammond and Fred Nc
Gurrin were billed to speak at Mona's
first Republican rally at 10 o'clock this
morning. Charles Andrews, Nephi' S
Mckinley postmaster; E. r. Booth, a
brass band and a dozen men and boys
were lined up at the station TO greet
the visitors The small boys were ad-
monished TO keep off the track and
Andrews and Booth were ready with
the glad hand TO greet the distinguished
orators Whether the engineer mistook
the little band for a gang of hold-ups
or hoboes il is not known. but when
close up to the little flag station he was
seen to throw the throttle wide open
and the train flew by like the wind A
telephone message was at once sent TO
Nephi to reship the orators back to
Mona by wagon and they arrived two
hours later, accompanied by Farley p.

A delegation of Tintic candidates,
consisting of w. F. Shriver. A. A. Will

Gus Henriod, had arrived in the mean
time and occupied seats on the plat
form.
Secretary Hammond, the first speak r,
announced that everybody was for
silver and therefore he would not dis
cuss the question. Then he talked tariff
for twenty minutes.
Fred McGurrin, who followed, ex-
planned why the speakers were whirled
through to Nephi without stopping. He

SUNKEN SPANISH WARSHIPS
HoBSoN THINKS THEY CAN BE
RAISED.
Left Boston For Washington to Con-
fer With Secretary-Wants ST.
100000 Appropriation.

Boston, Oct 24-The Boston Fruit
companys steamer Beverly arrived at
her dock here at o'clock this morning,
"a hours late, having on board Naval
Constructor Richmond p. Hobson.
Previous to Lieutenant Hobson's de-
parture for Washington he was ques-
toned by 81 reporter as to the prospect
of raising the sunken Spanish war YES
sells off Santiago. He said he was now
engaged in the preliminary work on
the Cristobal Colon, and that it would
take at least three weeks more before
anything would be ready.
The government had appropriated
$500, 900 for the raising of the vessel, but
it would be money well spent, he said
If the venture proved a success, as the
ship is worth $4,000, geo.
The purpose of his visit to this coun-
try. Mr.. Hobson said, was to see the
secretary of the navy regarding further
work on the warships. he thought the
Vizcaya could be saved. but would not
affirm positively. She had settled in
the sand. which has formed a thick bed
around her. so that she is resting in an
easy position. but a dry dock would
have to be built around her before she
could be raised. An appropriation of
81, coo, 600 would cover the cost of rails
ing the Vizcaya and would enable the
government to bring her north and put
her into good condition. She cost So
100000.
The Almirante Oquendo, Lieutenant
Hobson says, is hopeless wreck. The
Reina Mercedes, which was sunk in
Santiago harbor, is a good vessel and
can be raised with but little cost.
when the work on the Infanta Ma
ria Teresa commenced" continued Mr..
Hobson, II had 80 American laborers
employed, but. owing to the foul atmos-
phere. foul gases and foul water, Very
few escaped sickness, and / was obliged
to fall back on Cuban laborers. These
men seem to stand the work very well,
and under proper supervision can ac-
comDlish good results. ~
