officials anticipate very great increase
in the receipts from internal revenue

come law.
At Pskin, ILL.,, the receipts yesterday

Maryland they amounted to $4,000.
Large amounts of whisky and spirits at
all the great dietillery centers have been

pected to reach 81 300, 600.
The customs officials of the treasury

THE STANFORD ESTATE.
A BILL TO ENFORCE THE GOV
ERNMENT'S CLAIM.
The Matter to Ba Tested In the Go urts
Before Any Actual Default
in Payments Has
Occurred.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-There is reason
TO believe that the governments claim
against the estate of the late Senator
Stanford will be tested in the courts be-
fore there is any actual default in the
payments.
Under the conditions the attorney
general proposed, if the executrix would
waive any rights she might have by rea-
son of the premature bringing OF the
suit, he would gladly consent to have
proceedings begin at once. No con"
clusion has yet been reached, but it is
expected no objection would be made to
that course, especially as speedy adju-
dication OF the claim would be in the in
terest of the estate.
The suit would also determine the
status of the governments suit against
G. P. Huntington and others, and, on
the whole, an early settlement of the
claims would be to the interest of all
concerned.
Senator Hill, from the committee of
judiciary, yesterday reported an original
bill directing the attorney-geners to in
stitute in the United States court of
California such suit as he may deem
necessary to enforce any claim OF the
United States against the Stanford es-
tate, and to cause it to be prosecuted as
rapidly as the interests of justice will
permit. The courts are also directed to
cause the suit to be forthwith deter.
mined and to give precedence in the
hearing, over all other business pending
40 far as the interests OF Justice and the
parties will permit. Ten Thousand dol

San FRANCISCO, Aug. l4.-"Billy"
Stapleten has been adjudged insane and
consigned to the asylum at Agnews.
He had been looked upon as somewhat

Bad luck has pursued him for the
past six wears, but he bore up under
the rebuffs Of fortune until at last the
strain WAS too great, and his mental
grasp was loossned. Among his former
associates there is a sincere feeling of
regret at the fact that the worn out
sport should find himself ION the down
grade and not be able to reach the
brake"
In his prime, when the tickle goddess
was smiling on him, Stepleton was some-
what noted as q man about town. He
drove fast horses, quaffed wines OF costly
vintage, and went the pace at q
killing gait. His most notable
adventure was the winning OF SID 600 at

his winning was made off the firm of Ross

played a card open it would win, and if
he 'coppered' it. it was aure to fall next
to the box. But, after all, that winning
played havoc with him, and in the end
resulted in his present unfortunate con-
dition. When he got all this money, he
bought an interest in a faro game,
which was well enough, but that did
not satisfy his longing for gambling.

sALyADoREAN REFUGEES.
Lively Interest Taken in the Ezeta Extra

Lively In terost Taken in the Ezeta Extra
dition Case.
SAN Francisco. Aug. 14.-In naval
circles and along the water front lively
interest has been awakened in the case
OF Gen. Antonio Ezeta, the deposed vice.
president of San Salvador, who lie now
on board the United States ship Ben
nington, with three other refugees from
San Salvador.
The probable outcome Of the proceed
ings to be brought in the California
courts by the existing San Salvadorean
government, which Is exerting every ef-
fort 10 sxtradite the refugees, is lost
sight of with the present expectancy of
exciting developments when the Ben
nington shall arrive in port. The
cruiser is expected to put into port at
any time.
Many conflicting rumors Of action by
the local government officials are heard,
but nothing definite eau be learned. 1t
ie generally believed, however. that the
government will intercept the Benning-
ton and hold her outside the heads till
the warrant for Ezeta's arrest arrives
from Washington.
1t is known that one swift tugboat has
been cruising outside the Golden Gate
all day, and il is rumored that ahe has
on board q number OF naval officers
from Mare Island. At the tug office it
ie admitted that this craft is ON a spe-
cial mission, but her owners refuse to
state what her mission is or who ia on
board.
Another report ia that the monitor
Monterey, which sailed yesterday osten-
sibly for Puget Sound, has been sent out
to signal the Bennington and keep her
without until the authorities have per-
fected their arrangements for the arrest
Of the refugees.
The attorneys who came on from New
York in the interests Of the govern ment
of San Salvador are very active, but they
are no more alert than the lawyers who
have been employed by Ezeta's friends,
and who threaten to sue ouJ writs of
habeas corpus, claiming that the refu-
gees are illegally restrained. II ia to
guard against habeas corpus proceed
ings that the Bennington will be kept
outside the three.mile limit pending the
arrival of tho warrants that have been
forwarded from Washington.

for that reason the close of the session
