INTERNAL REVENUE.

Annual Report Of Commissioner Raum.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The report of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has gone
to the public printer. 1t makes q most ell
coursging showing Where the estimates for
the fiscal year we're only $1l5, 900, they ac-
tually reached 1928, $4,000. In addition to
this the net increase in the collections for the
four months ending October 81, was S., 863, 900.
This is fairly considered as an indication of q
very marked revival in business. This In
crease has been steady since July l. One Of
the most interesting portions Of the report will
distilling in the South. Excellent progress
has been made during the year, and recently
there has been reassigh meniS of special agen's
for this work and a reinforcement of the par
ties stationed in the mountain sectiops Of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and
Tennessee. In the larger portions Of the latter
State illicit distillation has been almost entire
ly uprooted. The commissioner thinks that by
the close of the present administration he can
report the work nearly completed. During the
four years nearly 1000 illicit stills have been
seized, over 1000 persons have been arrested
for illicit distilling. % officers and employees
have been killed and more than twice that
number have been wounded while attempting
to enforce the revenue laws reating to this
species Of fraud. The small cost of collection,
and the fact that nota dollar has been lost
through dishonest officers, will form one of the
most satisfactory and striking portions of the
report. 1t will show for the four years ending
with July that the sums collected by his bu-
reau have aggregated $3.50, 0O0. 900, and the
cost, including salaries and all the expenses of
the bureau, has been but little more than 81
per cent. The report sets the efficiency of the
great body Of officers composing the internal
revenue force in very clear light. The COM
missioner claims that they are entitled to high
rank in the public service, and he expresses
the opinion that it would be difficult to i'm
ligence, fidelity and zeal in the performance
of duty.

Persecution of the Jews in Germany.

The Voss Gazette expresses the opinion that

the question are inspired. 1t says-"The Gov
eminent are playing paltry game, and they
merely throw out the card of Jewish persecu-
ton in order to strike at civil liberty, as they
did with the socialist agitation"

THE CENSUS.
Report OF Superintendent W

Report OF Superintendent Walker.
WARRINGTON, Nov. 3O.-Gen. Walker, Su-
perintondent of the Census, has submitted lis
regular annual report. He says that although
tbs work OF taking the tenth census is subs tau
TALLY complete, returns having been received
from all but seven of tho 3l2 ,265 enumeration
districts, 1t will probably be two or three
weeks before complete statistics of the popula-
ton OF the country can be presented, and he
therefore considers it advisable to postpone to
future report all mention of the results of the
enumeration and all discussion of the methods
In use AZ we'll AZ any suggestions which may
require to be made Of changes in the census
law with reference to future enumerations.
During December tables will be submitted
showing the population Of each state and coun-
~ In the United distinguished as native or for
eign, white or col0red, male or female. Super
tntendsnt Walker earnestly expresses the
opinion that the compilation aud publication
OF all various classes of statistics should be
pushed forward with the utmost expedition,
aud 10 secure this recommends the reports b.
printed by special contract as soon as they are
ready, Ali returns within the department. of
the census, IL 10 believed, will be in the pos
session OF this office during the present month,
when the compilation OF the manufacturing
statistics will be pushed rapidly forward.
There IL no reason to doubt that the month Of
December will see all the enumerators paid
except where suspension is required for some
lsait on the part Of the enumerator himself.

Great Damage to Shipping on tho volga.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-A London despatch
says Mr.. Parnell denies the statement printed
in America that he had fully made mp his
mind to abandon the Land League movement
in Difference to the letter of Archbishop Nc
Cabe Of Dublin condemning 1t, and that he
would have done 90 but for the action subse-
quently taken by the Government.
1t has been decided that Government when
Parliament meets will introduce a coercion
act at the same time with now land bill The
OF the people, but whether this can he accom-
plished without bloodshed in the present tenn
per of Irishmen is . question which nobody
cares to answer just now.
There is q movement in the west of Ireland,
particularly in Tuam, Sevineford and other
considerable towns in County Galway, to bring
about reduction of Is per cent. in the rents
of shops and town houses. AS q matter of
fact such rents are excessive, but they have
been lost sight of in the excitement attending
the land agitation. Now that tenants in towns
have begun to move thele is likely to be
another rent scare, but on q smaller scale.
The house of an evicted tenant near Tralee,
in charge of bailiff, was broken into by
armed men, who slit the bailiff's ears. The
officer tainted from loss of blood.
Feeling in the DeCissey Case.
LONDON, Nov. 3O.-A Paris despatch says
cover the fines in the De Cissey case, while
Gen. De Cissey intends to give the damages
awarded him TO the military fund. The leni-
ency of the sentences seems due to two reasons:
Firstly, the judges thought Parliamentary
investigation might reveal something, and they
could not, therefore, impose an irremediab Q
penalty like imprisonment; secondly, impris-
onment of defendants might have led to dem
onstrations in the streets and clubs. The
judgment, however, perfectly rehabilitates
General DE Cissey, but the officers of the army
seem much irritated at the judgment, of which
they cannot exactly comprehend the motives.

Several persons were arrested yesterday

The Shooting Of Lieut.. Gov Robinson.

DENVER, COL, No. 30-That the shooting of
Lieut.. Gov. Robinson was accidental is now
evident from the post mortem examination,
which shows that but one shot was fred. Tho
ball in its course through the door struck nail
and split aud carried pieces of the nail with it,
thus causing four wounds, supposed to be caus.
ed by other shots. There has been disagree
ment with miners for few days, which caus-
ed the belief that the first report of riot and
assassination was true. 1t is known that there
was nothing of this nature connected with the
affair, and the miners deeply regret the sad re-
suit of the terrible mistake of the guard. Gov.
RobiDson's remains will lie in state at Lead
