INTERNAL REVENUE.

According to the annual report OF
Internal Revenue Commissioner Raum,
the service under hia direction is the
most efficient in the United States, or
in the world for that matter. During
the past five fiscal years $602, 3l0, 797
has been collected, aud the entire
amount paid into the Treasury without
any loss to the Government by defal-
cation. The entire expense of collect
ing this immense revenue in the FIVE
years ending June 30th, 1881, was $2l,-
$4,000, and in the disbursement of
this money there has been no loss to
the Government. If Commissioner
Raum is correct in this report, how
comes it that every now and then Rev
enue Agents are arrested for defraud-
ing the Government? 1t was only a
short time ago a Revenue Agent was
reported arrested in Colorado for rob-
bling the Government of about $50, 200.
Perhaps the loss was made up by his
bondsmen, and that the Commissioner
is right.
The Commissioner says 1927, 705 has
been ascertained to be due from nation
al banks on tax, and he is satisfied that
additional amounts are due the Gov
eminent from this source.
The amount of distilled spirits in dis
tillers warehouses on the Ist of No
vember was GO, 900. 900 gallons, being an
Increase of "a, 100000 gallons over last
year. The bulk of these spirits are
held in Kentucky, and are known as
'sour mash" whiskies.
The amount of revenue from tobacco,
including cigars and snuff for the year
ending June 30th last, was $40, S54, 99l,
an increase of $685., S5l over the pre-
ceding year.
The statement shows receipts of in
ternal revenue for the fiscal year 1879
were Sll3, 449, 62l; for the fiscal year
1880, 1923, 9Sl. GIG; for the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1881, Sl35. DOG, 9l2, and
the receipts for the first four months of
the present fiscal year $50, SO, $40, be-
ing S7,06l, 722 in excess of the receipts
for the corresponding months of the last
fiscal year. The Commissioner says:
If this increase should be maintained
during the remaining eight months or
the fiscal year, the receipts for 1882 will
be fully Sl57, O00,0 900. Whenever the
Government will allow reduction in
internal taxation, it is his opinion it
will be wise to confine these taxes to
distilled spirits.

Washington, March 15-Some of the
democratic senators refused to go into
caucus this afternoon, saying they were
disgusted with caucus which agreed to
line of action and then dlsregarded it.
The democrats who stayed out are those
who insisted upon prompt action while
the democrats had majority.
The caucus this afternoon was engage
ed in a discussion over the action of the
party, in which considerable criticism
was indulged in because of alleged waste
of time i'll eifecting an organization
Some, who are mad at the dilatory ac-
tion of the democrats, say they might as
well give up at once; but it is evident
that the democratic plan of action will
be to let matters remain MS now, and not
force action until the representation is
filled and then submit to the majority.

The assassination of Alexander II, EN-.
peror of Russia, of which we have add.
tional telegraphic information to-day, oc-
CURED on Sunday and the details came
in the Sunday night press cablegrams,
given herewith. Numerous attempts
have been made upon his life, the first
occurring in June, 1867, while he was in
Paris on a visit. Later efforts in the
same direction have indicated deter
mination upon the part of that formida-
BILE organization known as nihilists to
accomplish the death of the emperor
and that they have finally succeeded,
the bloody corpse of their victim attests.
The deceased was sixty-three years of
age and had reigned over Russia since
1855. AS ruler he was very great i'm
provement upon his predecessors and his
reign was marked by the emancipation
of millions of Russian and Polish serfs.
Within his realm, where ignorance and
dissatisfaction prevails, there were fam
atics enough to seek his life and carry
out their design and accept martyrdom
as the penalty.

The Senate Organization.

Washington. March 15-The republi-
can caucus to-day completed the senate
committees and report the vacancies left
for the democrats. Teller was transferred
to the chairmanship of the pension, and
Kellogg to the railroad committees, and
Terris was substituted for Conger as
chairman of the committee on rules.
Malone remains rs chairman of agricul-
ture. and is on the naval and postofiice
committees. The full republican mem-
bership remains unchanged on the prin-
cipal committees, except Teller in place
of Mcmillan on the election committee.
Democratic senators conferred yesterday
afternoon and decided not to pair with
absent representatives, but not to push
organization.
This afternoon when the senate ad-
journed the democrats again convened
and agreed not to accept the republican
position until it is decided by vote,
and then not to fillibuster but accept
minority positions. Republicans have
not considered the question of senate
officers yet. It is believed Malone will
be allowed to name the sergeant-at-arms
from his party friends.
Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1881-03-15

The military affairs committee is to be
composed Us follows as far lis republicans
are concerned: Logan, chairman, Burn
side, Cameron, Harrison and Sewell. A
majority of the membership of the naval
committee will consist of Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, Sherman, Anthony, Rol-
Inns, Mahone and Platt, of New York.
The postoiiice committee will be headed
by Ferry and other representatives Of
the majority, Hill OF Colorado, Platt of
New York, Malone and Sawyer.
In regard to the policy of Malone, it
is said on good authority that his ALI
ance with the republicans in Virginia
will be recognized and his influence will
be assisted by the administration in the
belief that the people of the south are
willing to support the administration, if
80 encouraged, and through Malone all
such can be welcomed. Unless the new
senators from Minnesota or Maine arc
unexpectedly delayed tho senate will be
this week.

Late on Wednesday evening, at the

series of events, the true history of which
is given herewith:

hood, was sweet on the teacher, but Sam
did not like the boy, and forbade him to
come on his premises. But love knows
no law, and Bower was won't to come
with his cutter and wait III the road until
the pretty pedagoguess came out to ride
with him. This likewise was displeasine
to Sam, and on one occasion he chased
this right Bower, this knave of hearts
down the road with pitchfork. The
pretty teacher resented this, and changed
her boarding place to another house
where there was no naughty big Sam to
modest or make afraid.
On wednesday Sam started for this
city with a load of swine Bower and the
pretty school nam also started in |:
more pretentious rig. When the blissful
young couple overlook Sam he was
exceeding wrath. He left his team and
load OF swine and chased young Bower
and his pretty companion rs they turned
their team in the narrow snow track and
fled before him.
But little while afterwards, while
Sam was waiting at slough for some
team to pass, the young folks slipped by
before lie had time to make any hostile
demonstration. II Ross $ower thought
he had thus escaped the wrath of San
Conway he erred greatly, as the seque
will show.
Bower came on to this city without
further adventure, and put up at the
Mountaineer. What become of tht
pretty school ma'am concerns not gain
saying public. 1t may be supposed TO-
arguments sake that she stopped will
some old friends of the family. AS fo
Sam, he sold his SWINE at the pork-hous,
for $3.50 per,hundred pounds, and pu
up. for the night at the Sioux City house
After looking after his team, and eating
his supper in moody silence, lie sailet
out to find the boy that passed him a
the slough. Entering the Mountainee
house he behell his victim. His openin,
remark WAS delivered with an impatien
gesture the right arm suddenly straight
cned ont in front os his shoulder wit
the hand closed. Just then young Bowe
noticed something drop. A momen
afterward he was conscious that som
one was mopping the floor with his pros
trate form. 1t was Sam. But bystand
ers interiered and SO the matter ende
for the present ut least. Yesterday til
parties all returned to Wolf creek.

court of the United States, after render
ing three or four decisions to-day. took
a recess till next Monday on account of
the indisposition of Justice Brady,
whose presence is necessary to make a

Mr.. Malone is in accordance with the
republicans and will vote with them on
the organization. 1t appears that he
wants to favor few democratic friends
in the distribution Of senate offices, and
the republican caucus does not desire
any mixed organization. A speech was
made by Mr.. Hill, of Georgia, in the SEN
ate this afternoon, declaring that thirty
nine democrats were elected to the SEN
ate, and pointing out Malone as one,
induced the latter to appear more public
than heretofore in his political nf1ilia-
tions. He consulted with several repub.
licans, stating to them that he was elect.
ed as n democrat, and was advised to de-
fend himself on the floor. He probably
will state his position on the floor this
evening or tomorrow; at any rate, be-
fore the vote on organization, giving his
reasons for voting with the republi-
cans.

great railroad interests of Chicago and
the northwest-the Chicago, Milwaukee
Il ST. Paul and the Northern Pacific COM
panies. The reports do not MS yet re-
ceive confirmation, although there is no
inherent timprobability of such a junction
of interests, since the combination
would control the traffic of the north
west, decrease operating expenses and
prevent future sharp competition.
