VASIIINGTON.

Washington, 81. The collections from in
ternal revenue for the month are $780, 900,
81 100000 for the same period last month.
The commissioner expects that the receipts
for the month will reach $4,000, 900, which is
81. 800, 900 less than the total amount for last
month. The falling off in the receipts con.
sequent upon the panic is less than had been
expected 1t is probable that the commits
sioner will delay the completion of his annual
report until late in November, in order to
discover whether the panic is likely to work a
permanent decrease in internal revenue re-
ceipts. Should such be the result, it is not
improbable that some slight increase of taxa
ton may be recommended.
tits expected that bill will be introduced
in the noxt congress providing that hereafter
all government marine hospitals shall be
built of wood instead of stone. The new
PLAZA is claimed to be more healthy and con-
venient. Gen. Butler is understood to be
committed to this policy.
