5000, 900 less than the cost for the year 1884.
The reduction was chiefly in salaries and the
expenses Of collection agents and subordinate
officers, amounting to $4S5, ZOO, and stamps
and papers, to $S5. 900. Ihe reduction results
from the consolidation of the 126 districts
into eighty-ive, and from the reduction
In the number and, in some instances, in
the rate of the pay of stOrekeepers and
yaugers, growing out of the reduced num-
ber Of dlstilleriess in operation. Gratifca-
ion is expressed at the efficiency Of the
service and its freedom from fraud. Ap-
pended to the report is statement of the
receipts from the several objects Of inter-
nal taxation in the United States during the
fiscal years ended June 80, 1884 and 1885,
which shows an increase Of receipts for

titled from apples, grapes and peaches, and
. decrease of 50, 712, $40 on spirits distilled
from grain and other materials; an increase

bacco and of sos, 126 on cigarettes, and
decrease of 1921 SIT, on cigars and chero0ts,
and an increase Of Sl73,2s3 on ale beer,
lager beer and porter. There is also ap-
pended to the report table showing the
aggregate receipts from internal revenue by
States and Territories during the fiscal year
ended June, 1885. Illinois heads the list
with $23, 3,075, 1854, followed by Kentucky
with S14,S24, AIS. New York is third with
S13, 1898 ,S44, Ohio fourth with Sl2, ,565, ,51s,
Pennsylvania fifth with s., ,371. .209, Missouri

The famous Panama hats are .

The famous Panama hats are all
made in Guayaquil. Ecuador. and get
their name because Panama merchants
formerly controlled the trade. They
are made of the pita fiber. sort Of
palm. and are braided under water by
native women of strands often twelve
and fifteen feet long. and fine ones are
very expensive. 1t often takes two or
three weeks to braid a single hat, which
sells for five or six dollars and lasts for
ever. A traveller speaks of one made
of 4 single straw or fiber, as fine as
thread and soft as silk. The woman who
made it was engaged four months in
the work, and it was valued at two
hundred and fifty doliars.-M T.

THE CAT1LEMEN.

II Removed They Will Contest tho Action
OF the President In the Courts-ConGrsss
to Handle the Subject.
ST. LOUIS, August &-Mr. II. NJ. Pollard,
one of those who recently presented a MEM
orisl to the President in relation to the re-
moval of cattle from the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Reservations, returned last night,
and says that if tho President concludes to
order the removal Of the cattle from the
Cherokee strip the lessees Of the land in that
section Of the Indian Territory will contest
his action in the courts. They claim
that the Cherokee Indians have the right
to lease their land notwithstanding their
treaty with the Government, and il the
lessees are disturbed they will make con-
test. Mr.. Pollard also says that the re-
mOval Of cattle from the Cheyenne and
ArapahOe reservations has practically COM
menoed. Colonel Hunter. Of this city, has
already arranged by telegraph for the re-
moval of 500 head per week, and other
lcssees are actively at work. A large num-
Der Of these cattle will be thrown on the
market at once and others will be driven to
other fattening ranges.
CONGRESS TO HANDLE THE SUBJECT.
WASHINGTON, August st was gwen
out at the Interior Department this morn
ing that no order clearing the other Indian
reservations of cattIemen will be issued un-
til after the Presidents return. The prob
ability is that nothing more will be done
until Congress has had an opportunity to
handle the subject Of leasing. NOn-actiOn
by the President however, will depend
upon the condition of affairs in
the several reservations. If any other
tribe begins to manifest a disposition
to do the mischief which the Cheyennes
did for like cause, then an order will be
issued clearing that particular reservation.
There is no present probability that the
holders Of ranges in the Cherokee strip will
be interfered with previous to the session of
Congress. This information is given out
at the Interior Department, and is confirmed
ut the White House.
