lections in Ten Months,
WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The collections
Of internal revenue during the first ten
months of the fiscal year ending June 30,
1891, were $119,936. .221, an increase of
30, 1896, ,4SS as compared with the collections
during the corresponding period of
the previous fiscal year. The collections
were as follows: On spirits s6s, $40, ,O43, an
increase Of 50, ,8S3 ,3l2; on tobacco $27,-
500, ,s66, an increase of So, 16S, ,0S4; on oleo-
margarine $3.50, ,76l, an increase Of $3.50, ,S45;
on miscellaneous 1888, 709, an increase of
sos, ,242. The aggregate receipts for April,
1891, were 50, 190,695 less than for April,
1890.
CAUSE OF THE DECREASE.
Speaking Of this subject this afternoon,
the commissioner of internal revenue, Mr..
Mason. said: at will be noticed that there
is decrease in the receipts for special taxes
on rectifers, wholesale and retail
liquor dealers and manufacturers
stills for the month of April of
81 1854 368, in special taxes on brewers and
wholesale and retail dealers in malt liquors
OF S1l5, ,425, and in special taxes on manu-.
facturers Of and Wholesale and retail
dealers in oleomargine of S11, $50;
making an aggregate loss from these
Items or $l,S ,SSl ,t'94. This Is due 60 the
fact that the last )ngress changed the spe-
cial tax year so as to. commence on July
instead of May /. The collectors therefore
on May / collected only two months
taxes from May l to July /, in
The total amount of special taxes
collected during the last fiscal year was
81. .342, 1868. Congress, however, has repealed
all of the special taxes relating to cigars
and tobacco, thus taking Off $1,515, ,481,
leaving a balance of special taxes which
would have been payable on May bat for
this change of the law Of Is, ,s26, 1882.
ONLY MILLION DUE.
$50 that instead of nearly Sc, 900, 900 be-
ing due May !. there was, in fact, less than
81 ,000, 900, and as a considerable part of the
tax due on May 1 was paid III April, there
was decrease In the special taxes for May
Of 81 1881, ,69l. This will be made up, how
ever, in the months of June and
July, when the taxes for the new
fiscal year will be collected. There
is decrease in the amount collected
from tobacco and snuff as compared with
the amount collected during the same
months of the last fiscal year. This is due
to change in the law reducing the tax
from to cents per pound. Notwithstand-
ing all OF these reductions there is still an
increase in the total amount collected OF
IS, 399, ,483 for the ten months ending April
80, 1891, as compared with the same months
of the previous year"

AFFAIRS IN PORTUGAL.

The Rests ming of the New Ministry
 No Surprise Caused in London -
 Territory Ceded to Portugal.
 Copyrighted by the New York Associated Press.]
 LONDON, May 15.-The resigning of the new Portugese ministry caused no surprise at the foreign office here. Telegrams last night from the British embassy in Lisbon announced the intention of the Protugese premier to put the question of resigning before the cabinet. The existing differ ences over the policy of dealing with the financial troubles renders the formation of a new ministry desirable. The embassy received assurances from the premier that the change would not interfere with the p. p.esenting of the Anglo-Portugese conven- tion to the Cortes. To-night's advices confirm the report of the intention of Senhor Bocage to retain the foreign portfolio in order to pass the conven- ton, with which both progressists and conservatives are almost content. And they have every reason to be content, to1 Lord Salisbury, in order to strengthen the | tottering monarchical interest, has conced, ed to Portugal solid block of territory | 50, ,O00 square miles in area, north of the
 Zambezian river, obtaining in return only
 a narrow strip of land rectifying the iron
 tier of Manicaland. Under the agreement
 the Portuguese territory cuts English com
 munications north and south of the Fam
 bezian. The Pa1l Mall Gazette, referring
 to the agreement, accuses Lord Salisbur,
 of coddling Portugal to the injury O English interests. The terms of the con
 vention are certain to be opposed in parlia ment.
