IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The reports of the Super
yisors of Steam Vessels are beginning to come in,
and show marked improvement in that branch OF
the service during the past year. Supervising In
snector-G General Dumont is now engaged in collat-
ing the facts for use in his own annual report.
The losses by disasters on the water reported for
this year are increased by the dreadful sacrifice of
life on the wreck of the Metropolis at Kitty Hawk.
Exclusive of this the losses, will not reach one
hundred.
The Steamboat Service on the waters OF the Mlssls-
sippi shows marked Improvement This is largely
attributed to the vigorous action of the New-Or-
leans Supervisor in refusing to grant licenses to
steamboat men who wero addicted to drunkenness,
and also to the rigorous enforcement of the law OF
1871 in the testing of boiler plates which Is due to
the efforts Of General Dumont. The service on the
Delaware under the inspection of Messrs. Mershon
and Hand has also improved, and Will make graft
fyinR feature in the annual report.
AZ New-York the number of boiler explosions
has been exceptionally large, owing chiefly to care;
Iessness Instructions have been sent TO the local
inspectors to use increased vigilance.

ny TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE1
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1S.-Mr. c. w. Moulton, Of
Cincinnati, brother-in-law of Secretary Sherman,
is in tho city to-day. In conversation he advanced
the theory that the Western who so tenaciously
oppose the resumption of specie payments will after
ALL be the greatest bencfcaries of the act after it
goes into operation.
80 The moment" said Mr. Moulton, " that re-
sumption is accomplished. and the premium on gold
is wiped out, the system of paying actual gold to
Custom House officers will cease Importers will
offer their checks for such payments, and these
checks being certified by the banks in which the
importers have deposits will be received for duties
These checks will in turn be used by the Assistant
Treasurers in making payments to the bank shaving
business with the Treasury. The result, at once Is
an expansion for while these checks will be cur
rent in all business obi cations in commercial com
munties, as well as accepted by the United States,
the gold will lie in the vaults of the SubTreasury,
and not being needed in the East. will in time find
its way to the West when 1t becomes necessary to
move the crops
Mr.. MOult0n thinks that Secretary Sherman is
growing tired of public life. For nearly quarter
of a century he has held public positions, during
which time he has been constantly under heavy
strain. The Secretary he says, is extremely anxious
that his plan for resumption shall succeed, anu were
il not for the pride he takes in making IL success
he would throw aside the burdens of public LIE at
once and spend the remainder Of his days IN such
pursuits as would afford him more leisure, bring
upon him less abuse, and give him the opportunity
TO better enjoy life,

WAsIINGION, WtuUV5UaJI 7tPI' To- 1910
The effect of the agitation over the reduc-
ton OF the tobacco tax last session is st being felt in
the sales OF tobacco The Of the collectors Of
internal revenue show that during the month Of July
last the receipts from tobacco taxes were SO 079 o.
being 1898 SOL 81 more than collected from the
same source the corresponding perodlast This
increase Is accounted for by the fact that during the a
taton OF the question OF reduction purchases OF the
commodity were insignificant. The quletus put upon
the question by the adjournment OF Congress gave an
impetus to the sales during july These heavy transaO
Ons have not been kept up. There IS sufficient data on
hand from the collectors for the month OF August, 20
chow that receipts from internal revenue for that
month are $500 900 less than for similar period in
1877 and that tue receipts from tobacco have been cor
respOndngly diminished. The commissioner will OPP
pose reduction of the tax at the next session, the
ground OF the necessities OF the Government.
