This is one of the largest figures that customs
have reached since shortly after the late war.
The internal revenue receipts are booming,
too. 1t is thought that the total receipts from
customs for this month will be nearly sii5, ,OOO,-
Taking this as basis financial look into the
future has been made at the Treasury depart

toned the total customs receipts of the govern
ment for the fiscal year ending June 3Oth next

from internal revenue s117.OOO.OOO. There will

SEIZURES OF CIGARS FOR VIOLATION OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE LAws.-FOr some time past
our District internal revenue officials have had
the importation from New York Of cigars put
up contrary to the statutes. A vigilant watch
eliminated in the seizure last Monday by these
aVea BY Adams es cigars appeara weGa
that these officers became advised of the fact
that suspected Illicit manufacturer in New York
in this city, Offering to sell cigars at very low
price, adding "Of course you know that we use
old boxes for packing and old stamps" The
package or case after seizure was removed to
the collectors Office, on 7th street. and opened,
when 1t was discovered that every box bore an
old stamp adroitly fixed on, and that there
ferent manufacturers. The 80 of1icers here ei1
have reason to believe that there are other
parties in this city engaged in this Illicit busi-
ness OF receiving cigars similarly packed. The
mediately advised by telegraph and the New
York manufacturer Is doubtless ere this in GUS
tody. and will be dealt with there, the evidences
developed here having been forwarded to aid
the prosecution. The cigars are, OF course con-
fiscated, and will be sold In due time as pro-
yfded by statute. The revenue law requires all
dealers. whenever A0V cigar h0Y becomes

purpose being to render 1t impracticable to
make use OF them the second time. 1t is not at
all improbable that other seizures will be made
in this city soon.
