WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-The mystery of the lost
package containing $1OO 900 of Post Office money is
explained 1t seems that certain persons, yet un
known, who were acquainted with the occasional
weakness of the clerk sent to the Treasury for the
funds met him when he came out of the Treasury
and invited him to place near at hand to take a
drink of whiskey. This was repeated at a point
nearer the Post Office. and from this place when he
was we'll under the influence of liquor, he was
taken to a house of questionable character and
robbed of his money. The persons who did this
having been seen with him, and finding out that
they were known, sent friend to Postmaster Ed
munds before daylight this morning and arranged
for a surrender of the money. The money was
duly given up to-day.

sioner of Internal Revenue will ask Congress to
make an appropriation of $4,000 to increase the
efficiency of the collection service, the money to be

will show that the rigid enforcement of the revenue
laws results in largely increased revenue. This
is strikIngly illustrated by comparison of the
revenues collected last year in five districts where
illicit dstillng is most extensive, and where the
laws were not enforced. with therevenues collected
in the same districts this year during the five
months ending December l, during which the laws
were enforced The receipts from the Fourth North
Carolina District for five months Of last year ending
December were 1885, 1884. For a corresponding
period this year they are $445.921. In the Fifth
North Carolina District last year for the same
perOd the receipts were $3.50 664 this year under
the new policy they 1852, 1856, increase of
almost a quarter of million. In the Sixth North
