JULY's INCREASE IN CUSTOMS.
Duties Paid by Travellers Jump
From $4,000 TO $4,000.

4 comparative statement Of the custom
receipts for the port of New York of the
years 1900 and 1901, according to the re
port submitted to the Treasury Depart
ment yesterday by Collector Bidwell. of
New York, shows an enormous increase
in the receipts of this year over 1900
These good results are due say Treas
ury Department authorities. to the new
customs regulations concerning steam
ship passengers. which are now in opera
tion. Assistant Secretary Spaulding is
much pleased at the excellent showing
made. He believes that the petty frauds
praCticed upon the Government by incom-
ing passengers at the New York port have
been reduced to the minimum. The sys-
TEN of examination has been greatly
perfected aver the old plan. Most Of the
frauds. insthe past, have been practiced
by Americans in good standing, who ap-
parently believe that the Government is
a fair prey.
The report Of Collector Bidwel shows
an increase in the receipts for the month
of July, 1901, OF more than S5O,WD. The
receipts for July. 1900. were NSSIl- Last
month they amounted to S1O.HO1. This is
in spite of the fact that in July, l9D the
number of passengers passing through
the port was 1857. while last month the
number had decreased to II. .ii2. The total
Increase for the period from March l to
July 81, is also very great. Between those
two dates in 1900 the total receipts
amounted to s66. $50 Since the new regu-
lations went into effect on March l last.

crease. 1901 6iS being collected. The dec
larations of dutiable goods were for larger
amounts this year than last and there
was consequently less opportunity for

malls appear to be substantiatcd by the
threshing results 50 far. 1t is now con-
cedcd that 5J,O0a.0J bushels is not an ex-
travagant estimate for the Manitoba
wheat crop, exclusive OF that OF the ter
ritoncs. Every allowance being made,
there should be 80, ,VJJOJ0 bushels Of wheat

FOR NEW CADET EQUIPMENTS.
Recommendation of "a Regular Army
officer After an Inspection.

Capt. Charles ID. ParlthursI, of the Ar
tillery Corps. has submitted to the In
spector General of the Army a report
OF his inspection of the equipments of the

found in the public schools: Eastern High
School, 100 guns; Business. 20 guns; Cen
tral, 1s9; Western, 50; Colored High
School, 125. Total, 5i3. This accountable
ity shows shortage of twelve guns.
Following a suggestion made by Prof.
Lane. director Of the high schools, Cap
tain Parkhurst strongly recommends that
the expense of maintaining and repairing
the guns of the Government used by the
school hoys be betrayed by the War De
partment Until the present year the
money for this purpose has been raised
by the pupils by means of concerts and
other entertainments.
Captain Parkhurst states in mis- report
that he found the equipment Of arms in
a generally worn and defaced condition.
and not such calculated to make
good appearance. He recommends q new
issue Of arms and equipments The re-
port is under consideration by the In
spectOr General.
