ity members Of the committee on ways

ure preparatory to submitting IL To the
republican minority members and 10 the
general public tomorrow. The duty on
refined sugar IL reduced from TO n
cent a pound: raw sugars remain free OF
tax Tho Mckinley bounty is repealed
progressively, that Is. one-cighth each
year. so that at the end Of eight years IL

sugar schedule. 80 far as can be learned.

lSrERSAL REvlNug RECEIPTS
The Department shows an fncome
of $4,000. o0o this Year.

WASHINGTON. nov. a6-The annual
report Of Joseph =. Miller Of West Viz
ginia. commissioner of internal revenue.
n1akes no recon ommendaflons- The con
missioner estimates the probable rev
epue from internal revenue Tor next
year az sl50uO0t0 This u sloOOOOo
Iess than last years estimate. and sll,-
0Uo.OOo less than the actual yield last
year. which Mas sl6l.tooOpo There
has been a decrease of S5.5l9.0oo in the
FIRST three months OF this fiscal year.
For number Of years past the receipts
from internal revenue have run along
90 a continuous upward sliding scale.
notwithstanding that during the period
noted several reductions IN rates and
remissions Of taxation have been enact
ell The receipts were sll6.OoO.OoO IA

liquors aud tobacco. Among the heay-
lest collection districts is named the
first Michigan with a collection OF e.
50l. COO There u. been a decrease of
over s9.oo0 in the amount collected for
chewing and smoking tobacco. which Is
attributed To the operations OF the new
law permitting the sale OF tobacco-in-
hand ~by farmers and retailers on
cigars aud cigarettes and snutfs there
has been an increase Of receipts.
In regard TO sugar production the
commissioner says: The operation OF
the Law in relation 10 the bounty on
sugar has had the effect. so far as cane
sugar Is concerned. TO increase the pro
duction and To lessen the number OF
sugar factories or licensed producers.
IL IL estimated that y2.0Oo00O have been
invested in Louisiana In improved
machinery for making sugar since
the beginning OF the present year. the
full eject OF which will not be seen and
appreciated until the conclusion OF the
coming season. These changes in the
machinery of sugar factories result IN
more economical manufacture Of sugar
and indicate gradual departure from
the primitive and more wasteful meth
ods formerly in use. The production Of
beet sugar IN the state OF California aud
the territory Of Utah showed an in
crease OF 100000 pounds. Sorghum
sugar decreased on account OF the raw
ayes OF ''chinch bugs" The production
OF maple sugar had Increased.
