Washington Letter to Buffalo Ex-
press: For the first two months Of
the new fiscal year our government has
expended $102, 1863, ,O9O33, of which $2l,-
0S6, 469,S1 has gone for the support Of
the civil and miscellaneous establish
ment, and all the rest for military eX-
penses Of one kind or another. Tho
army got $34, 1862, ,0S00G; the navy, S9,-

Of the civil establishment was at the
annual rate OF $126, 6,39S, 1886, At the
present time not quite so per cent of
the expenses Of carrying on this peace
ful country are on account OF wars,
past, present and anticipated, but the
ratio Is nearer to 80 per cent than
to any other round figure. Is there
any other country, free or despotlc,
which spends larger proportion Of lts
income on war? | do not know, be-
cause | have not had tho opportunity
to look up the statistics, but should
be surprised, indeed, to find that any
country Of high civilization, or pre-
tending to high civilization, spends
four times as much on war and war
like preparation as on all It's civil ex-
penses put together. It is difficult to
comprehend that, with hardly reali-
cation of 1t by the people, we are be-
coming the most warllke Of nations,
80 far, at least, as outlay on military
matters goes. Moreover, the taxes are
largely taking on a new form. They
are coming home to mems business and
bosoms more closely than heretofore,

three hours in solitary prayer, Presi-
dent Kruger Of the South African re-
public came from his devotlons with
a placid and Frightening face. He told
his friends that ho felt perfectly hap
ny; the Lord had instructed him to
fight, and he was no longer afraid OF
the British. The grimly plous old
Boer presents a picturesque figure,
thus rising from communion with the
Almighty to buckle on his sword and
blcodlly resist the attempted subjuga-
ton Of his people. Both formidable

Gov. Roosevelt, riding a spirited
black horse, at the head of the national
guard of the State of New York, and
surrounded by brilliantly uniformed
officers, received a hearty and continu-
Gus ovation from one end OF the line to
the other. Before Madison Square
was reached Admiral Dewey and the
reviewing party in carriages passed
the front of the procession and alighted
rs the reviewing stand opposite Twen-
ty-sixth street. and took their places in
the boxes hung with laurel wreaths
that had been reserved for them. There
for the first time the admiral saw the
great arch of victory erected In his
honor. The arch faces the sea. The
approaches r guarded by tall colon
nades, transforming the street at the
reviewing booth into a court OF honor.
Here the admiral reviewed the entire
parade.

Admiral Dewey Almost Exhausted
From the Great Strain.
New York, Oct. 3. - The functions
and the receptions that have figured so
prominently in the daily life of Admi-
raj Dewey since his arrival off Sandy
Hook last Tuesday morning have
proven almost too much :or his
strength. The admiral has been under
such a perpetual physical and nervous
strain that he is almost exhausted.
Saturdays ceremonies were the most
taxing on his strength of any that he
has yet had to undergo, and he ap-
peared yesterday looking pale and
worn, despite the fact that he retired
early Saturday evening and enjoyed a
good nights rest. The admiral y.ester-
day vas too fatigued to do more thnn

and before he came down sent a les

that he be not expected to shake hands
with the members OF the committee.
The admiral explained the request by

early in the morning and was served a
cup of tea at g O'Clock. Shortly after
he had breakfast, which was sent to

alone. When the admiral had finished
his breakfast he sent for his private

with them for some time. He was
called or by Mayor Van Wyck at 8
o'clock. He was escorted by the may

many callers, but declined t. see
many, fatigue being given as an ex-
cuse. Among those who were honored
by the admiral were the Chicago dele

a frock coat and dark trousers and ear

Mayor Harrison, in a few we'll
chosen words extended an invitation
to the admiral to visit chicago during
the corner stone laying, or if not then,
to fix his W time and consider the in

Dewey replied that it would give him
great pleasure at some future time to

The corridors of the Waldorf-Astorfa
were thronged all day with people
anxious to catch a glimpse Of the great
admiral. Early in the morning they
began to come in and they were COM
ing and going all day. But none of
them was given the pleasure Of seeing
Dewey. He was not down in the COR
ridors Of the hotel at any time. When
he was escorted to the room to meet
the Chicago delegation he was taken
down q private stairway and returned
the same way. In every conceivable
manner his movements were guarded
to keep the persistent crowd from get
ting near him.

from the sidewalks powder by the bar

Over on the Jersey shore the display
was just as generous and the sky was
