INCREASE IN RECEIPTS
Shown in Both Customs and Internal Revenue
 Departments.

Washington, Dec. 2e.--The forthcoming monthly statement of the government re- ceipts and expenditures will show mate rial increase in the receipts from both customs and internal revenues. Todays income from the customs alone was $735, 567, the highest figures reached since the new tariff law went into effect. Several times during the last few weeks the cus- toms have exceeded $60O, ,OOO, and according to the expectations of the treasury off, cials these figures will be fully maintained for an indefinite period.
 The income from customs this month probably will exceed November by $2,5OO000 or s, 100000, which will leave a surplus for the month.
 Independent of the receipts and pay ments on account of the Pacific railroad transfer, the total receipts this month would have exceeded the expenditures by approximately $1,750,0O0.
 The returns from internal revenue sources show a gratifying increase, and it is not unlikely that the December state ment will show an excess over November of $1 100000. Altogether the situation so far as revenues are concerned is very grat- flying to the officials, who confidently pre- dict that with the exception of January, when heavy interest payments are due, there will be surplus for each remaining month of the fiscal year.

CORBETT AND F|Tz AGAIN Dan Stuart Hopes to Bring About
 aMatCh. NO TROUBLE ANTICIPATED In Securing Corbetfs Signature, and is Equally Hopeful of Getting Fit to Sign
 Take Place in Nevada.

New York, Dec. 29-Dan Stuart who managed the Fitzsimmons- Maher and Fitz- simmons Corbett bouts successfully, said today that he would leave for the west next week and hopod he would secure the signatures of bcth Fitzsimmons and Cor bett to articles of agreement for a ring contest which he proposed to bring off next summer probably in the state of Nevada. He said that as matters stand now he does not anticipate any trouble in getting Cor bett to sign, and he is equally hopeful of gaining the consent of Fitzsimmons to meet the Californian in the ring once more. Just what the amount of the purse which he would offer would be MT. Stuart refused to say.
 Mir Stuart would like to have the con test take place not earlier than next July, and said he would like to arrange a meet ing between Kid Mccoy and Choynski or some other good middle weight to take place in the same week as the Corbett- Fitzsimmons bout. If he succeeds in mak- ing arrangements for both contests, Stuart said he would offer excellent inducements for the winners of both these bouts suffi- cient to meet six months later so that in the event of Mccoy and Fitzsimmons win ming, they could settle their differences as to their respective prowess within the year 1898.
 Mr. Stuart expects to be in Chicago by the latter part of next week, and said it would be no fault of his if the big fel- lows did not come to an agreement

FEARS MOB VIOLENCE.
American Consul at Barcelona Unable to Keep
 the Flag Flying From Vessels.

New York, Dec 29-A special to the Journal and Advertiser from New Haven, Conn.,, says:
 Capt. George K Kelsey of the schooner Wallace Ward, which has just arrived here from Barcelona, Spain, insists that the American consul at that port fears mob violence and is unable to keep the American flag flying from Uncle Sams vessels.
 He put into port there Sept. 16, remaining three days. At first the stars and stripes fioated from the masthead, but the Span ish loiterers were attracted by it and gath cred by the side of the vessel, threatening violence The American consul heard a rumor that the crowd purposed burning the vessel, and he sent word to Capt. Kelsey to haul down the flag.
 Captain Kelsey defied the Spaniards, but the next day the consul repeated his advice and Capt Kelsey was reluctantly per- suaded to store the stars and stripes below decks during the remainder of his stay.

SOME BANKERS OPINIONS The Postal Saving Scheme Not
 Popular. BANKING NOT PROFITABLE There Are So Many in Existence That Rates For Money Have Been Cut to
 Small Point

New York Dec 29.-The postal savings banks idea is not popular one in New York banking circles. A canvass of presi- dents of prominent institutions developed that fact clearly.
 At the same time very few presidents were willing to express opinions for pub licaton. All practically agreed with Presi- dent E. S. Mason, of the Bank of New York; in the statement that there are all ready so many banks in existence that rates for money have been cut to @ point where there is little profit in banking.
 r D. Happen, president of the Gallatin National bank. thought that possibly In thinly populated districts postal savings banke might prove beneficial to the people, but he wa5 confident that the residents of large towns and cities had all the bank ing accommodation they desired.
 Oliver s. Carter, of the Bank of the Re- public, felt that the time had not come to discuss the proposition. MT. Dumont Clark. president of the American Exchange Ma tional bank, agreed with MT. Carter J. E. Simmons, president of the Fourth Na- tional was also of the same opinion, and declined to discuss the proposition be- cause he had not given it sufficient thought
 President Henry w. Cannon, of the Chase National was plainly opposed to postal savings banks and did not hesitate to say so Postal savings banks" said he, have been successful in other countries for the reasons that the countries have large pub lie debts which are increasing from year to year. Under such conditions the money deposited by people in the postal banks can be advantageously used by the govern ments. In this country the people hold the opinion that the public debt should not be increased, but on the contrary, should be reduced as rapidly as possible and there fore 1t does not seem practicable for the government to receive money of the people and invest the same in securities.
 "In my opinion, should postal savings banks be established in the United States, their deposits should only be used by the general government in the same manner as in other countries"

For the Administration to End War Be-
 ing Wased in Cuba.
AMERICA SHOULD SEND NO MONEY
If They Desire to Aid the Suffering People Money Would Only Benefit the Spaniards Distress Should Be Stopped
 By Introduction of Peace.

New York. Dec. 29-"Governor-Gen Blanco's acceptance of President Mckin- ley's request that the American people pc permitted to relieve the suffering Of the concentrsdoes in Cuba is tantamount to ac- ceptance of the offer of intervention by the United States in the conflict so long in pro- gress between the people of Cuba and the Spanish government" said Tomas Estrada Palma, chief of the Cuban Junta in this city to an Associated Press reporter today.
 AS the administration believes that peace in Cuba can be restored only by po- litical intervention it cannot reject the fa- vorable opportunity that presents itsslf to intervene for the purpose of ending the war in Cuba" continued Dr. Palma.
 'The deplorable condition of the concen- trados has been caused by the cruel war fare waged by Spain. and the government, finding itself unable to relieve the situation, has applied to the United States for aid. President Mckinley must see by now that there is no chance for peace to be estab- lshed in Cuba without intervention and living up to his word, given in his pre- vious messages, must intervene and Spain cannot rationally and consistently reject such intervention"
 Send no Money.
 Coming down to the relief plan itself, Dr. Palma said:
 "If the American people are willing to help the concentrates they should send no money. Food, clothing and the like, but no money-that would be the best plan to follow out. Money will benefit the Spanish only. Blanco has accepted the American proposition as a way out of difficult posi- tion.
 He knows that it will require millions of dollars to permanently relieve the con centrados under the present conditions. But the United States can accomplish very lfttae during the progress of the war. The only way to relieve the concentrates, and in fact all Cubanci, is to stop this disress by the in- trCduction of peace and independence.
 with peace restored the concentrates will be able to return to their farms and their residences. We have the money, the tools and the materials that will set these people right at work again. Let the Ameri- cans know thu. the best plan Is to intervene for peace They should intervene immed- lately.
 Spain is trying to shake off the ignominy of Weylerism in Cuba but 1t cannot succeed. It is necessary that the world should know the results of that work in Cuba, and the world is learning fast'

NO STEN0GRAPHERS.

 Being Taken in Longhand.

Chicago, Dec. 29--Unable to convince the court that the prosecution in the Luetgert case should furnish the defense with a duplicate stenographic report of the evil dence on account of the inability of Luet- gert to pay for stenographers, the attor- neys for the big sausage manufacturer to- day commenced trying to take a verbal re- port of the testimony in long hand. The consequence was that very little progress was made.
 Mir Harmon says he will take the pro- ceedings verbatim if it takes six months and in case I.uetgert is unable to make ar arrangements for stenographers to do the work the trial from present indications may be stretched out indefinitely
