government in the Territory.
II ia recommended that authority be conferred
upon this department TO prevent the shipment TO
that Territory Of molasses, or other articles from
which Intoxicating liquors are ordinarily made.
The condition Of affairs there also demands the
establishment OF some form of government compe-
tent to restrain disorder andinsuret the safety OF fho
inhabitants. No expensive system is necessary;
but the establishment Of some supreme authority
Tor the Territory would tend to encourage immi-
grafton, and insure protection 10 those who
may go there. At present, the only officers erer-
clsing any authority on the mainland
are the Collector OF Customs nj Sitka and his sub
o~rdihates, and their authority Is confined 20 the ex-
ecutiOn OF the customs laws. There Ia but little
customs business transacted in the Territory, aud
IL is possible that the additional authority neces-
sary might DO wisely conferred upon these officers.
The Alaska Commercial Company, under its lease
OF the seal islands. has taken during tho present
season the maximum number OF 100000 skins al
lowed by law. upon which the tax Uue the Govern
mont is S262 800. which, with the rental of $685.
600. will make a total revenue Of S317 500 derived
from that source. The Alaska Commercial Com
paly appears TO have faithfully complied with all
the conditions Of is contract with the Government.
INTERNAL REVENUE.
The receipts from the several sources Of taxation
under tho internal revenue laws for the fiscal wears
ended, respectively, June 80. 1877, aud june 80,

The TONNAGE OF Vessels bniIt Is about 30 per cent.
in excess OF that of last year.
by reference to the foregoing table, ii Willie
seen that the excess of the losses Of tohb0 "a A-t
wrecks, sales TO foreigners, and other rhliscs, over
the gains by building, amounts to 29, 1856 tons. On
the other hand, the increase of tonnage in vessels
built is about 80 per cent. over that of last year.
But the number of vessels built includes only such
vessels built aud sold TO foreigners without regis
tratiOn.

The amount Of collections exhibited IN the forego-
ing table includes commissions on sales of stamps,
llll IN klnd, as certain SUMS collected, but not de-
posted during their respective fiscal years. An an
parent discrepancy is thus caused between tie
amounts Of collections given in the table and those
Shown ny the covering warrants of the Treasury.
by comparing the internal revenue for the fiscal
year terminated IN june last, with that for the
hscal year ended June 80. 1877, il will be seen
that there has been q decrease during the past
year OF nenrly eight millions Of dollars, and that
OF TINS amount upwards Of seven millions arose
% the collection OF spirits, owing TO causes which
nave been already adverted to.
The needs Of the public service REQUIRE that no
reduction OF Internal revenue taxes be made. The
commodities from which the internal revenue is
mostly collected, namely, spirits, tobacco, ferment-
ed liquors Hnd stamps, are those which property
pear the burden OF the tax, and the present rates
are, IN the main, equitable and satisfactory; and 10

1t has been the desire OF tho Department to pop
ularize tho Public loans and bring them wishin
easy reach of every citizen who desires 60 invest
his savings, whether small or great, in these 30
curities. The popular loan OF 1877. open to all
alike by public advertisement, absorbed Z 5000
600 Of four per cent. bonds, and during the present
year these bonds have been sold IN the same man
ner.
Tt is believed that without a change Of existing
law the sale OF these bonds win largely increase,
but Il would appear advisable so TO modify the law
that smaller sums may DO invested from time to
time through popular subscriptions, and that
through tho postofices, or other agents Of. the
Government, the freest opportunity may DO given
in ali parts OF the country for such Investments.
The best mode suggested Ia, that tho Department
be authorized TO issue certificates OF deposit OF tho
United States Of the denomination OF ten dollars,
bearing interest at tho rate Of 3.65 por cent. per
annum, and convertible at any timo within one
year after their issue into the four~peroont. bonds

gagged in putting the pieces of which it is
made together. The car will hold fifty pas.
Sengers and has restaurant and bar attached

secured in the bottom of the car and operated
by WindasS, SO that the balloon with its liv-
