BONDED SPIRITS.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Senator Cockrell
has received from Commissioner Mason, OF
the internal revenue bureau another letter
supplementary TO the one received some
weeks ago, III which the commissioner
stated the true relations existing between
the government and the distillers of
spirits. in answer to certain arguments
made by the advocates of the Farmers
Alliance sub-treasury scheme, based on
the assumption that the government pays
all or the greater part of the cost of stor-
ing spirits awaiting consumption. The
commissioner in this last letter states
some additional facts bearing on the sub
Ject which are in substance:
L That 1t is not trne that the govern
ment pays the salaries and fees of store
Keepers and 2augers, but that, rs a matter
OF fact, under the present law 3 per cent
OF the tax was imposed TO defray these ey-
penses, and that the revenue from this
percentage of the tax is now sufficient to
more than defrav the entire cost OF main
tenance Of the internal revenue bureau.
inclusive of the salaries and fees OF the
storekeepers and gaugers.
2. The popular impression that all
spirits are warehoUsed for three years is
erroneous, and in fact fully one-half of the
production is withdrawn and the tax paid
within the one calendar month after
manufactured.
s. Spirits exported without payment of
internal revenue tax are not privileged
above other manufactures, as is generally
supposed, for all goods subject to internal
revenue tax are subject to the same ex-
enption when exported.

A Monkeys linguistic Achievement.

In the room where the monkeys are kept
by dealer in Washington there is a cage
containing a young white face cebus of
more than average intelligence. On the
same shelf and In an adjacent cage is the
little capuchin Puck. They can easily
see and hear each other through the open
wire partition which separates them, there
being no other obstruction. | have visited
Puck for many weeks almost daily and al
ways supply him with food after requiring
him to ask me for it in his own language.
Having but little interest in the white
face, who is very shy Of me, l rarely show
ed him the slightest attention until within
the past few weeks when observed him
trying to utter the capuchin sound for
food, which always secured for Puck a
banana or some nuts.
Seeing that Puck was ALWAYS rewarded
foruttering this sound. the little white face
began TO try it, and as soon as | discovered
his purpose began TO reward him in the
same way, and have thus seen one step
taken by a monkey in the mastery of an
other tongue. At first his effort was quite
poor and could not at once decide hat he
meant; but practice has developed in him
great proficiency, and now lie speaks it
almost as plainly as the capuchin himself.
This was doubly interesting to me in view
OF the fact that had long believed that no
monkey ever acquired She sounds of an
other species.

DODGE'S REPORT.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The house com
mittee on agriculture, which submitted its
report yesterday, has taken official cognig-
ance Of the complaints and protests of the
st. Louis Cotton Exchange III regard to
The commentaries of Statistician Dodge Of
the monthly crop reports issued by the
department OF agriculture The report
contains the following significant pro-
vision:
And provided further, that the monthly
crop report issued on the lO5h of each
month shall be strictly confined to a state
mant of the percentage totals by states
and full total, without comment or argu-
ment, and that it shall be submitted TO the
secretary of agriculture, who shall off,
clally approve the report before it is issued
Or published
The chairman of tie house committee
explains the action of the committee in a
somewhat different light from that of the
st Louis exchange. He says the old clause
was stricken out to benefit the farmer. Mr.
Hatch said
That part of the bulletin was ordered
10 be omitted bT u unanimous vote of tie
committee, so that hereafter ii Will be inn
possible for any one man. i'm the avricul-
tural department to circulate his opinions

letins. Mr.. Dodge the statistician in cbarge

nj times on the bear side OF the market.
He has never been able 10 figure out for
the farmer any hope for an advance in
prices aud any better prospects for their
crops IN the future. but has continually
used his figures in indicating lower prices.
In the Judgment of the committee this
was IN the interest of boards of trade
throughout the country. HID | urged the
proposition am confident the committee
would have abolished the monthly bulle-
tin entirely. Secretary Rusk was before
the committee and urged that this be not
done, Tor the department received its in

for use in compiling the annual reports.

of the work of the department would

LONDON, June 3-The last session Of The
present parliament virtually closed today.
The desire of a section of the cabinet

DlIN,S REVIEW.

| NEW YORK, June 3.-R. G. Dun & Co. IS

| The tone of the commercial reports

country are better, asd. excepting tn the
bursting OF the speculative corner at Chi
cago, there has been no especial excite
ment oil any kind in business The fcti-
tlous prices established for corn in Chicago
lasted just long enough TO bring into that
market enough actual grain TO bury the
spectators, and the corner broke with
great losses, not merely TO the Operate ors,
but also to the brokers. Wheat declined
half cent, western receipts being I'M
usually large, though exports from eastern
ports have also been quite large. Oats are
shade lower. Pork products are un-
changed aud oil little lower. The stock
OF cotton IN the country continues far be-
yond the record of previous years, and
there IS every reason TO believe that even
great reduction in the yield will scarcely
reduce the aggregate supply for the year
below the quantity usually required for
consumption.
The market for bar is weak, at the
lowest figures ever known, and the new
demand Tor structural iron is not quite as
large as had been expected. Copper has
been quiet, while the bulls have controlled

Quiet prevails in the anthracite coal mar
ket, the companies having decided upon
another advance, which the condition of
the market does not seem to warrant. In
the wool market the woolen manufac-
turers' tone is somewhat firmer.
The treasury has been reducing its bal
ances during the past month, putting out
more money than it has taken in, and in
some quarters attention is called to the
fact nat its cash balance is lower than at
any other time since the resumption of
specie payments; but the supply of money
abroad Is SO abundant and the demand in
foreign countries so moderate, that it
seems somewhat improbable that the
drain from this country will be large at
any time this season.

The Marriage Rate in England.

| That curious barometerof social prosper
| tty, the marriage rate, has been rising
slowly but steadily during the last two
| years. The rate in the third quarter Of
| 1891, the latest covered t,y the returns Just
issued by the registrar general, reached six
| teen per thousand of the population, which
Is the highest rate recorded for fifteen
years in the corresponding quarter, and is
Rn addition of per cent. in the number Of
marriages over those in tie same period
of the last ten years. Statisticians have
found a close connection between the trade
OF the country and it's marriages; but this
cause failed to explain altogether the
steady diminution of the rate for so many
years past. All sorts of theories were be-
ing invented to account for the fact when,
10! the record took an upward turn, which
it has well maintained for some two years
past.
Doubtless there is q financial base for
the change. 1t may be that the exception
ally large number of deaths of elderly and
aged persons during the two very un-
healthy winters that we have unhappily
experienced may have given room for the
younger, who inherited money and found
places vacant, to form families of their
tory to find that our young men and maid
ems are still ready to enter on domestic life
together. 1t may be, as a cynic has said,
that lone great evil under which mankind
suffers has been invented by men them
selves, and miscailed the holy ordinance
of matrimony;' but in thia world we
have to choose, not between happiness and
unhappiness, but between greater and
lesser evils-and that to be celibate, to
grow old without lawful ties and family
joys, is, on balance, the greater evil is toll
erably certain.
So it is a matter for congratulation that
marriage is returning to fashion. If it had
happened that the improvement in the rate
had not begun till this year, we should
have concluded that it depended on the
acceptance by many maidens of their leap
year privilege!-Illustrated London News.
