willingly consented but a day or two

What War Costs.

The expense of the war with Spain
and the present war in the Philip
pines as shown by official treasury
figures, which will be issued next
month averaged during the past lis
cal year 100000 a day or total of
SlS3, 100000.
To this expense must be added a
large increase in the civil expendi-
lures which swells the grand total
chargeable to maintaining the army
and navy establishments to more
than S3OO,OOO.OOO.
The direct war expenses have been
for the fiscal year 1899:
War, s229,OOO,OOO.
Navy, S65,O0O,OOO.
These same items for the year 1893
were:
War, S92, 100000.
Navy, e59,OOO,OOO.
The total war and navy expendi-
lures of 1898 and 1899 compare as fol-
lows:
1885, Sl51 100000.
1899 1924 ,OOO,OOO.
The excess of these expenditures
for this fiscal year over 1893 is there.
fore s143,0OO,0OO, which is practically
the difference between the govern
ment on peaceful and on a war
footing.
To the excess of S143,OOO.OOO ex-
pended this year over 1898 in main
tanning the army and navy establish
ments must be added S23. 100000 civil
and miscellaneous expenditures in ex-
cess of the same class of expenditures
i'll 1893.
This makes the total excess of ex-
penditures ID these three items over
the peace year of 1893 of $4,000, 900.

The item below we clip from the

edited by woman: "The Olga mail

horrible news that one OF his neigh
boris boys Monday last climbed
corn stalk to see how the corn was
getting along and the stalk is grow
ing up faster than the boy can climb
down and he is plumb out of sight.
George Denney and Ben Green and
several others are trying to cut the
stalk down but it grows so fast that
they can't hack twice in the eame
place. The poor boy is living on
nothing but raw corn and has already
thrown down over four bushels Of
cobs. 1t is to be hoped that he will
soon be rescued from his perilous po-
sitiop, but on such fertile soil as sur.
rounds Olga it is foolish for any one

A CAR BURNED UP.
Chapter of Accidents Attended Alarm
From BOX 90.

About half past three O'Clock yesterday
afternoon drover's car Of the Boston
q Maine took fire In the freight yard on
West Commercial street from the explo-
sion of an oil stove IN the car. The car Is
used on the cattle trains for the accom-
modation Of the cattlemen and contains
l6 or Is hunks and dining compartment
and kitchen. The car burned very
fiercely and an alarm was pulled In from
box 65 By the yard master, who feared
that the BLAZE might communicate to
some of the valuable property In the vi
ciniiy. The fire department. made quick
work Of the blaze, but the fire had Oh
tained such Roadway that the car was al
most destroyed before the department
reached the scene. The loss is several
hundred dollars.
There. was a chapter OF accidents during
the fre. Harry Fuller was riding his
bicycle TO the blaze and was crossing the
railroad tracks at the foot of State street,
when he was struck by passing team.
He was thrown from his wheel and
bruised. The bicycle looked as II 1t had
been through the Manila campaign. MIR.
Samuel Joy, the mason, was driving to
the IRE carrying several firemen. He bad
reached York street all right, but there
the whiffls tree broke and the wagon was
overturned, throwing out number or
the occupants. MIR. Joy was bruised by
the fall, and Henry vickery. the florist,
was hurt about the arm and wrist. Dur
ing the fire Win Cousins,a member Of en-
CINE company 4, got too near the blaze
and the flames took away part of his
clothing.

CITY HALL MATTERS.
Trouble with Resarns Of Assistant
Assessors.

The city government committee on MS.
SCISSORS departments, Alderman Moulton,
Councilman MiIiiken and Chase held a
meeting Monday morning at which they
took important action With reference to
the returns and compensation of tho as.
slstant assessors.
The bills rendered by the assistant rs.
SCISSORS in Wards 4, sand were approved.
The bills rendered by the assistant as
SCISSORS in all the other wards were APP
proved TO the extent of 500 each, and all
In excess Of that was returned TO the as
sistant assessors for revision.
The bills of the assistant assessors In
Wards /, 2, 8. 5, 6 and Z, over which
trouble arose, were as follows; Ward l..
s1s2.s1; Ward 2. si64s5; Ward 8,
1899. 1919; Ward 5, si03 50: Ward G.,
si76.s5; Ward Z. SAIL 80. These amounts
are from sf5 60 $40 more than were paid
last year.
The committee also found fault with
the returns of musical Instruments in
several of the wards. For instance In the
tive western wards the number of musical
IctuEuca was % AoA4oWbs
Ward 5, lls; Ward 6, 40; Ward 2, 35s;
Wardd s, s53; Ward o, pa.
An effort will be made TO have these
returns corrected in some way.
The assistant assessors are paid So a
day when actually employed.
There will be meeting of the board
Of fire engineers this evening when action
will be taken with reference to the re-
duction Of the various hose companies.
Each company is to be reduced two men.
The wave of diphtheria and scarlet
fever which recently swept the city seems
to have appreciably abated and the health
officers have more time. to perform their
routine duties.
There will be meeting OF the inunici-
pal bath commissioners some time this
week when q report to the city govern
ment will be formulated. There seems
little doubt that the committee will REQ
ommend the establishment OF a mum Der
of shower baths IN the basement OF the
Auditorium.
