Revenue Collection.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The following circular
relative TO the collection of tax fruit brandy
has been sent to the collector of internal revenue
by the treasury department:
SIT is decided to continue the system Of super-
vising operations Of fruit distilleries which has
prevailed the past two seasons. To this end, col
lectors are instructed to give prompt attention to
all notices and bonds, that distillers may not be
delayed in beginning work, nor have pretext
for commencing work before they notified OF
the approval of their papers Practices wherethey
exist delaying the return Of monthly reports, and
carrying singlings over from month to'mpnth
without donbling until towards the endT h&
season should be required to be given n3 81
more strict compliance with se
regular methods OF procedure which
the regulations provid. Earnest measures should
be taken to secure prompt and faithful entries
in the distillers' record of materials purchased
and used, days and hours in operation, number
of boilings made and the quantities produced.
Doubling should be required each month, and
arrangements made which will enable gauging to
be done promptly and as often each month az
circumst stances demand. Serial numbers of pack.
ages must be continuous at the same distillerJ
with the same proprietor, and must not be
changed each year. For the purpose of frequent
visitation OF distieries, you will again, when
necessary, lay off your districts into suitable
divisions and arrange for force of competent
officers sufficient to thoroughly effect the pur-
pose of maintaining a supervision Of these dis.
tleries. which shall afford the distiller every
facility for compliance with the law, and shall
limit the opportunities for evasion.
