This is only about four million dollars below the esti- mate made by Congress at the begin- ning of the last session in December, 1000, at which time the Secretary esti- mated the receipts from customs would be about $245,000,000. The receipts from internal revenue sources were estimated last December at $300,000,000, while the nal figures will show over $307,000,000. The receipts from miscellaneous sources were estimated at $34,600,600. These will also show a considerable increase. The éxpenditurés for the year will be seven millions in excess of the estimate. Dur- ing the fiscal year 1900 the surplus reve- nues amounted to nearly $24,000,000, while the surplus for the present year will reach $76,000,000 and possibly a still higher figure. n view of the fact that the Revenue Reduction Bill passed at the last ses- sion of Congress will go into operation at the beginning of the fiscal year, Treas- uty officials estimated that the loss from this source will be about $10,000,000. It 1s not expected, however, that the net re- duction from this source will reach that amount, as the officials look forward to a year of even greater prosperity than the one just closing. If this expectation is realized, the officials believe that the revenues from internal sources alone will not ‘be greater than $30,000,000 below the figures of the present year. It is also confidently expected that the receipts from customs will materially increase during the coming 12 months, so that, notwithstanding the reduction made in the last revenue bill, the total receipts from all sources may even reach or ex- ceed those of the fiscal year of 1901. Revenue Stamps on Letters. - In view of the fact that many thou- sands of dollars’ worth of war revenue stamps are left in the possession of the public, about the redemption of which there will be much loss of time, it was proposed that these stamps be used for postage. This would enable the holders of the stamps to avoid excessive delay and possible loss. Mr. John W. Yerkes, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, said: “This proposition seems to be a very rational one. You remember when the War Revenue act went into effect in 1898 it was a physical impossibility to print and distribute on time the stamps that were needed. Therefore, sheets of pos- tage stamps were simply run through the press again, and on each stamp the let- ters ‘I. R.” meaning internal revenue, were printed, and the postage stamps thus trahsformed were used as docu- mentary stamps on bank checks, tele- grams, express receipts, etc. What is now proposed would simply be reversing what was done then and turning the revenue stamps into postage stamps.” How Pension Roll Grows. A statement prepared at the Pension Office shows that for the fiscal year end- ed June 30, 49,612 names were added to the pension roll, of which 44,861 were original issues and 4.751 were restora- tions. The original issues included the following : Tnvalids—Civil War om Nar-vith S Survivors—Mexican Wa v Indian wars Widows—Civil War War with Spain Mexican War Indian wars “Old War,” prior to 1861 War of 1312........... 3 Nurses 2: The increases, reratings, etc., num- ed 60,043, making the total number certificates issued 109,655, as against btal of 105,501 in 1900. he increase in the number of pension- bn the rolls June 30, 1901, compared the previous year, was about 2,500. number of claims ending May 31, was 415,409, and on June 30, 1897, ’,050. — a — 3 Object of Gomez's Visit, The object of General Gomez's visit to this country just now is assumed by War Department officials to be private busi- ness, as no intimation has been received through General Wood or other officials in Cuba that he intended visiting Wash- ington to see the President or any offi- cials of the Government. Adthough the officials may have no definite information on the subject it would not surprise them if the main purpose of the General's journey here is to look after the interest of Cuban bond- holders, and incidentally to make some arrangements for the payment of the Cuban army for the time it was in the field prior to American intervention. New Office Created. Gen. Harrison Allen, of North Da- kota, was appointed second deputy ai- ditor for the Postoffice Department, a position created in the last postal ap- propriation bill. General Allen was ap pointed marshal of North Dakota by President Harrison and has lived there since. He was given a reception by the clerks of the sixth auditor's office today. Decrease in Counterieiting. The annual report of Chief Wilkie, of the Secret Service Division, Treas- ury Department, submitted to Secretary Gage, says that in the 12 months end- ed June 30, 1901, there were placed in circulation but four new counterfeit notes, against an average of about ten -for each year during the preceding ten years, Only one oi these new notes was at all dangerous. Capital News in Geasral There is no intention on the part of the War Department to reduce the mili- tary force in Cuba at the present time or in the immediate future. The pres- . ent force of nearly five thousand men is held in Cuba on the recommendation of Governor General Wood, and the Secre- tary will depend on General Wood's ad- vice as to the reduction of the force.

Dun & weekly review of trade says: It OW not follow because bad banking methpds have caused one of the smaller New York banks to close its doors, with attendant circumstances that cre- ate discussion in Wall street, that gen- eral business is in any way affected by or at all responsible for the trouble. The country is undeniably prosperous, and with prospect of an abundant harvest to supply our own needs and increasing Turopean deficiences the situation is viewed with confidence, The, fiscal year closes with conditions in the iron and coal industry in marked contrist to the situation at the corres- ponding date in 1900! This year difficulty is experienced in stopping machinery long enough to make necessary repairs, prices are well maintained and steady, without unrea- sonable inflation, while a successful season makes it possible for many con- cerns to avoid controversy by volun- tarily’ reducing hours or advancing wage$, and evidences of serious disa- greement are the exception. Railway facilifies are inadequate to handle ex- panding traffic and shops are crowded with orders for new freight cars and other equipment. Wheels at textile mills are no longer generally idle. Improvement in all branches of this industry has come with a rush and manufacturers are making up some carlier losses. Gains are more conspiguous in the woolen goods di- vision because depression had lasted longer and been more severe. ‘ Bradstreets says: Wheat (including flour) shipments for the week aggre- gate 4,364,147 bushels, against 5,520,831 last week, 3,184,144 in the correspond- ing week of 1900, 3,268,008 in 1899 and 4,716,401 in 1808.

From July 1 to date this season corn exports are 175,537,400 bushels, against 202,769,574 last season and 170,781,268 in 1898-99.

I was what they call the ‘angel,’ you know. It was a barnstorming company, and the play was no good, and in the first fif- teen nights T lost $800.” “And then it pulled up?” “No, it went to smash and was stranded, and most of the actors had to walk home.” “Then how did you make anything?” “Oh, after the thing was busted I sat down to a game of poker with the stage carpenter and the property man, and when we quit at sunrise I was $15,000 ahead of the game, and they had to dis- charge their valets and coachmen and come down to 25-cent cigars. Not a Trust. “Yes, you bet I am down on trusts,” replied the old farmer as he lugged out a gold watch to note the time, ‘“‘and if I go to the Legislature I shall do all I can ag'in ’em. There's a head of dif- ference between a trust and a family syndicate. “How do you mdwn?” was asked. “Well, IT own the only lake in my county which has got any fish in it. My son Jim owns all the boats on the lake. My son Bill owns the only land around where fishworms can be dug. “It used to be free fishing for all, but three years ago I fenced in the lake and organized a family syndicate, and since then we've got about $5 for every fish caught. We ain't compelling anybody to come to our lake and hire our boats and buy our worms, but when they do come we make it pleasant for em and furnish sandwiches at 15 cents apiece and milk at 10 cents a glass.” Too Shocking to Repeat.
