A statement of the financial outlook
of the State for the next two years
has been issued by the committee on
appropriations and financial affairs 1t
is largely the work of Representative
Marston of Skowhegan, secretary of
the committee, and Senator Emery OF
Sanford, it's chairman, who, together
with State Auditor Callahan, have
been collecting the data for the past
two weeks. The statement follows:
The total expenditures of the last adj
ministration amounted TO $9,SS5, 259 80,
of which 1927, 900 was for the purchase
of unmatured bonds, and 1884, 900 was
for the payment of unpaid warrants.
The total income from all sources
amounted to $40, POS $500 including the
State tax of il mills, assessed in 1910
ana 1911, but not collected or availa-
BILE until 1911 and 1912.
The present administration starts in
with 1857, 12s.e5 in the treasury, and a
State tax of mills, assessed in 1912
and available for 1913, which viii bring,
together with the income from all 9TH
er sources. $4,659, 093.29, making total
of s., liz, 22i.9i, cash available for ex-
penditure.
A very careful analysis of the books
and records of the different depart
mtnts and the auditors office for the
fixed expense, and of the various bills
and resolves before the several com
mittees OF the Legislature, indicate
that he total expenditures of the State
for the two years 1918 and 1914 will be
at least S9,227, 2S3.94. This estimate is
based on the assumption that the APP
preparations made by this Legislature
do not exceed the appropriations made
by the last Legislature. Deducting the

Official Announcement Of Elec
lion OF Woodrow Wilson
As President Enthusiastically he
ceived by the Democrats.

Washington, Feb. 12.-With elabor-
ate ceremony the Senate and House
of Representatives, today, in joint SEES
sion canvassed the Electoral vote of
the various states of the Union and
officially declared Woodrow Wilson OF
New Jersey and Thomas r. Marshall
of Indiana elected President and Vice
President of the United states for the
term beginning March L.
Senator Bacon, presiding over the
Joint session, proclaimed the election
when, to the crowded floor and gal
leries of the House Chamber he de-
clared the following proclamation pre-
scribed in the official rules:
This announcement Of the state OF
the vote by the President of the Sen
ate Pro Tempore. shall be deemed \
sufficient declaration of the persons
elected President and Vice President
of the United States. each for the term
beginning March 1. 1872
Democrats of the House and SEN
ate greeted the announcement with, a
round of applause. few cheers and
several shrill long Rebel Yells.. the
usual Democratic indications Of APP
prevail
The galleries joined in the demon
stration and the dignified Senate led
by Senator Bacon and two tiny pages
bearing the wooden caskets contain
ing the Electoral vote certificates, re-
turned to its own classic confines. far
from the noisy hall of the House.
The usually noisy exurherance OF
the House proceedings was quoted By
the advent OF solemn senatorial dig
nifty, when the proceedings began,
and even the galleries seemed To APP
preciate the seriousness of the oeea-
sion when Senator Bacon announced
that no applause would be permitted.
The nature of the House eventually
asserted itself, however and there
were cheers and handelapping and
yells as the canvass proceeded. The
announcement of the California vote
drew applause from the Roosevelt
supporters A real Democratic out
burst followed when Senator MARITIME
one Of the teliers, announced New Jer-
sey's IA votes for Wilson and Marshall
and applause came from the Repnb-
lean side when Utah and Vermont
each gave Taft and Butler four votes.
The recapitulation gave Wilson and
Marshall 435 votes, Roosevelt and
Johnson SIS votes and 'rsft and But
tlar Votes The certificates of all the
states We're received and counted and

demand OF Senator Bacon as to wheth

douiton. Me. Feb. 12.-(SpeeiaD.-
II may seem strange to some that the
attempt to wreck trains on the Bangor
g. Aroostook Railroad should follow
the visit of certain officials to Houl-
ton. That serious accident to the
passenger train going north was avert
ed, Monday night. is due more to the
way that a 90-pound rail was chained
to the main tracks of the b. & A.,
about a mile from Houlton station,
IMAM anything else. As it was, both
wheels of the locomotive struck the OBJ
struction at the same time and With
such force that it was broken in two.
Had the rail been placed diagonally
instead of at right angles the entire
train of mail baggage and two pas
senger cars would have been ditched.
1T has recently come from headquar-
ters that attempts have recently been
made to wreck trains between here and
Carvs Mill, west of Houlton, but with
cut success
The result of these dastardly at
tempts has been that number of
Pinkerton detectives have arrived and
will run down a number of clues which
they have. While the general senti-
ment in this section has been divided
between the strikers and the railroad
officials such attempts at laWlessness

The history Of railroad strikes in
