Among the causes that may be as

the school in Speer arithmetic, which,

experiment, was a great achievement;
the attendance upon the deliberations

KING WOULD LOSE HIS CROWN
PORTUGUESE PEOPLE OPPOSED
TO PROPOSED TREATY.
Must Not Sacrifice Delagoa Bay to
England Even Under Pressure-A
Too Friendly Minister.

Paris, Dec. 30.-Advices received in
diplomatic circles here say the re-
publicans of Portugal have seized on
the. alleged Anglo German-Portuguese
secret treaty as a weapon to attack the
monarchy. asserting that it is evidence
of the monarchy'S weakness and will
ingnes5 to sell the Portuguese colonies
to fill the depleted Golfers of the treas
uuy.
The Figaro says: King Charles prob
ably viii los his crown if he acquiesces
TO England's proposal, even under
menace"
An interesting piece of diplomatic
gossip is that the Portuguese minister
in London is a great friend of the
Prince Of Wales, and in order to please
him. practically assured Lord Salisbury
that British troops would be permitted
to pass through Loureneo Marques.
But it is added when the matter is
brought to the attention of the home

SENSATION AT vERNAL.
Bingham Miner Takes His Wife
From Theatrical Company.


Fort Duchesne, Utah. Dec 2s.-An
act that was not down on the pro-
gramme occurred among members of
the Imperial Dramatic company and "a
wronged husband" out at VernaI last
Tuesday evening, details of which have
just reached here. where the company
played two nights last week on It's way
out TO Ashley valley.
The Imperial Dramatic company is
above the average strolling combina-

is some talent above the average. The

The wife has for some time resided in
tina city on account of her health.
When the company started out she
enlisted to play en- route and ten nights
at Vernal, but she got in only two
when her engagement came to a sudden
and unexpected ending.
The husband. whose name is not
given, made a trip into Salt Lake
from the mining camp, only to find that
his wife had concluded TO go out on the
road and earn a little Christmas money
for the Yuletide time. The husband
was wrathy and took the train out of
Salt Lake City last Sunday night for
Price, and caught the stage out Monday
morning, arriving in Vernal Tuesday
evening about o'clock.
He had hardly gotten out of the stage
and busted his overcoat when he
espied the champion cake walkers
coming down the street from a re-

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES
ARE SHOWN.
Interest Charges Made Up the Heavi-
est Single Item of Expense
Charged Up to the Various De-
partments-Total of S242 900 Ex-
pended On This Account Last Year

The financial transactions of the
state of Utah and of the city and coun-
ty of Salt. Lake for the year 1899 dis
close some interesting figures. The
revenues aggregate 1865. 600. Adding
the city school boards revenues OF
$4,000, the total would be swelled to
81, La, 600. The expenditures aggregate
81. $50, 600. leaving a comfortable bal
ance to the credit of the several funds.
The total sum of $2f2, 900 went out
last year for interest on bonded debt
OF this sum Salt Lake City paid out
$122 400 on its S154S, 600 of bonds, the
state paid $42, 100 on its $900,O bonded
debt. the county disbursed $23.500 on
this account for $4,000 OF bonds, and
the city school board spent $4,000 on
outstanding issues of 100000. The en-
tire bonded debt is $4.61S. GOO. Only the
school board has retired issues OF
bonds. Formerly SS25. 900 was floating.
but little by little the amount has BEEN
cut down by redemptions and sinking
fund investments to 100000
