That caused q call for the meeting of the
national board, but Kelly's club was az
forded no relief.
The board decided that if any Pennsyl-
vania State league club wanted an ex-Al-
lentown player they could have him by
rendering contract with a salary equal
to what he got from the Allentown club.
AS Kelly's contract called for nominal
salary of $50 a month, it placed his royal
highness in most embarrassing position,
for $50 month would scarcely keep him
supplied with cigarettes and tolu. l be-

FALLING Off.
Loss of 100000 in Treasury
Receipts
During the First Hall Of Present Fiscal
Year.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The revenues OF
the government have fallen off almost sl3-
100000 in round figures for the first II
days of this month compared with the last
half of August. The receipts tom Gus
toms for the first IA days of this month
amounted to 80, 227 900 Gin round numbers),
against So. 1904 900 for the last half of
August, whi:e the receipts from internal
revenue We're but Sc, 972, 900, compared with
500, 634 900 for the latter half of August.
The loss is due to the enormous sums
paid on the whisky which was withdrawn
for consumption just before the new tariff
act increasing the tax from 80 cents to
81. 10 per gallon went into effect. The re-
ccipts from internal revenue for the first
"A days of the month dwindled to s2,972,-
coo, about 81, 500, 900 below the normal and
were not counter balanced by the increase
in the receipts from customs due to heavy
importations under the reduced rates
Immediately following the enactment OF
the new law.
The custom receipts increased about
100000. The receipts from internal rev
cnuc are now confined almost entirely to
the tax paid on beer, cigars, cigarettes and
tobacco, and average about S250,O00 per
day, whereas the revenue from internal
revenue is usually $500 COO per day. For the
two months, July and August, while so
much whisky was being withdrawn, the
receipts
Averaged Over 100000 Daily.
The normal withdrawal of alcohol spirits
(bOth for the arts and potable spirits)
amounts to about S,500,000 gallons per
month, and the treasury department esti-
mates that about four months supply in
addition to that for current use was with
drawn during July and August 1t is not
expected that receipts from the tax on alco-
holic spirits will reach normal again be-
fore Jan. l, 1895.
This will have the effect, it is believed,
of keeping the receipts of the treasury
down to about two-thirds of normal, or in
other words to about s22, 600, OO0p per month
until January l, the normal receipts aver
aging about s32, OOU, 900 or S33, 900. OOO This
estimates, it should be stated, leaves out
Of account any large increase of importa-
tons arising from the operations of the
new tariff law
Tho expenditures have averaged about
&34 ,000,0 COO, but without the sugar bounty,
which is now thing Of the past, they will
be reduced TO about S3l, 100000 For the
next four months, therefore it is estimated
that the receipts will be about sS8, 900
and the expenditures about 1924, 000,0
Jan. /, however, the collection of the in
come tax for the last six months of tho
current year will take place, and this will
swell the receipts to about 800, 900, so that
at the beginning of the next current year
the treasury (when the receipts will re-
sumo their normal f1gures) would be on
the wrong side of the ledger about S24, O00,-
900 on the first half of the present fiscal
year There is to be deducted from this,
however, $1,000, 900 which the treasury
gained during July and August, leaving
net loss to the treasury for the first half
of the fiscal year Of about S17,OO0OOO.
