THE INTERNAL REVENUE BUREAU.

An Increase in Manufactured Tobacco, and
Decrease in Amount of Spirits Produced.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The annual report
of the Commissioner OF the Internal Revenue
has been submitted. By the consolidation of
the collection districts an annual saving to
the government of $125, 900 has been secured.
The aggregate receipts this year are estimated
at $120, 100000. During the first three months
of the current fiscal year the revenues de-
creased 81, 926, 401. As a large number OF those
engaged in illicit distilling are DESTROYS of
abandoning the unlawful practice, the Com
missioner has been strongly urged 10 recon-
mend proclamation of general amnesty to
such persons. He suggests that Congress
provide shorter period of limitation for the
prosecution of offences against the revenue.
The question of an enforcement of revenue
laws in the Indian Territory has been re-
ferred to Secretary Folger for action.
The increase in the production of manu-
featured tobacco and snuff is over 100000
pounds. The increase in the production of
cigars is 1856 100000 and of cigarettes, $4,000
900. The reduction of revenue on tobacco
was caused by the act of 1888. At Leaf $685.

returned for amendment.
The number of distilleries operated during
the year was 5,129, consuming 1864, 1877
bushels of grain. The decrease of spirits
produced is about 80 100000 gallons. The
spirits removed in bond for export
amounted to 5,326,427 gallons; transferred
to manufacturing warehouses, 203, 938 gal
Ions; withdrawn from warehouses, SO, 291, 100
gallons allowed for leakage and evaporation,

A SPLENDID BUILDING.
The New Palace of Justice Erected in the
Capital of Belgium.

The New Palace of Justice Erected in the
Capital of Belgium.
Brussels Dispatch to London Times, Oct. Is.
To-day is a grand day for Belgium. The
new Palace of Justice at Brussels, one of the
largest and most remarkable construction of
modern times was opened with becoming
solemnity. The palace, placed in COM
handing situation in the most elevated part
of the town, was commenced in 1866 The
celebrated architect NJ. ]. Poelaert. who had
made the plans and directed the work, has.
unfortunately, not seen its completion.
Since his DEATH in 1879. the works have been
directed by NJ. Wellens, engineer in the
service Of the government. NJ. Poelaert did
not adopt any determined style, but made
use for his magnificent structure of
Greek, Roman, and even, especially
as regards the outline, of Indian models
The result is considered glorious one for
his memory and for the country, but it has
only been obtained at a cost of 40 000 000f
Very large sums will be required for the
transformation of the quarter surrounding
the palace so as to give it frame worthy of
it. The palace by itself covers 10000 square
metres. By adding the squares and ascents
and descents which had to be created, total
of so, 900 square metres, which were necessary
for the construction, is arrived at. The CEN
trail hall (Sale des Pas Pc rdus) meas ures
300 square metres. and is SIS metres high,
while its roof opens into a gilt crown
terminating in a cupola at height of 97H
metres. The palace contains, besides, 81
large and A5 smaller halls for the different
services, and eight court-yards. All the
principal halls are most richly decorated
The materials which have been employed in
the construction and decoration are the most
durable which could be provided by money,
after most comprehensive study of the
matter. The building is, indeed, almost in
destructible, and will transmit the name of
Poelaert to the most distant times. The
outside height, up to the crown on the cupola,
is 118 metres. From whichever side one
now approaches Brussels this colossal build
ing presents itself, dominating the town and
surrounding country. Critics, of course,
find fault with this and that, but on the
splendid success of the great enterprise, as a
whole, Belgium must be congratulated,
