TREASURY RECEIPTS.

A yesterdays dispatch from
Washington says: The prospect of
the imposition of a tax Of $1.10 a
gallon on whisky instead of 81 a gal
lon under the old law made the own
ers of whisky in bond rush forward
and take out immense quantities of
the article The result was ire
mendous flow of money into the
treasury vaults. 1t was supposed
that when the new law went into
effect and the owners of whisky
would have to pay $l.lO a gallon in
stead of 80 cents to get it out of
bond very little revenue would be
derived from this source, particu-
larry as so much had been taken
out by paying 80 cents under the
old law. But today the receipts, as
reported by the internal revenue
department, are recorded at $688,
5000. The receipts for the same
date last year we're $l27, 800 OF
course all this is not from the tax
from whisky, but most of it comes
from that source.
Under the new law there is a tax
of 2 cents imposed on every pack Of
playing cards. The law imposes
this tax on the makers Of cards,
but likewise imposes on each pack
of cards wherever found when the
new law went into effect. The re-
suit is a great cry for stamps. Com
missioner Miller informed me that
he sent $4,000 stamps to New Or
leans, and the day they arrived he
received notice from the collector
there that all were gone and that
he must have $1,000 more. The col
lector at Philadelphia sold out the
first day and applied for another
supply. From the demand from
there and other sources for such
stamps Il looks as if man could do
a game in any house in the land
The treasury department is busy at
these times and every man in it
earning his money.

at Jersey City, at 1;15 o'clock the
previous afternoon. Shortly after

the lighthouse tender, John D. Rog-
ers, which was lying at the Adams
express pier, awaiting his arrival,
The President left Washington
at 7;20 o'clock by the Congressional
Express and occupied President

companied by Secretary Lamont,
Private Secretary Thurber and Dr.
Bryant, his medical attendant.
When Mr.. Cleveland stepped on the
railway platform he walked be-
tween Secretary Lamont and Pri-
vate Secretary Thurber to the bag
gage elevator Two secret service
men walked behind the President
and party, and on reaching the ele-
vator it was at once lowered. He
declined to make any observations
to a number of reporters who were
present.
Having passed through the depot
the procession, consisting of two
sailors of the lighthouse ship, the
President, with Secretary Lamont
and Private Secretary Thurber, the
two secret service detectives and
two more lighthouse service men,
walked down to the pier, at the foot
of which the tender was moored.
As soon as the President embarked
he walked aft, and, sitting down,
entered into conversation with Pri-
vate Secretary Thurber and Dr.,
Bryant, President Cleveland look
ed fairly well and walked with a
light step. He wore salt and
pepper business suit and soft brown
hat. The John D. Rogers in a few
minutes steamed away for Gray
Gables.
Secretary Lamont said the Presi-
dent was feeling pretty well and
chat no incident worthy of mention
