TREASURY SHOWS SURPLUS
Tariff Law Brings Big Increase in
Annual Receipts.
Revenue from Corporation Tax short
Only S2O7, 900 of Amounts
First Assessed.

The Treasury Department issued
statement yesterday showing that the sur
plus of ordinary receipts over the ordi-
nary disbursements during the first fun
year under the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
amount TO S2O,21402S.ss.
The total receipts of the government for
the year were S57S $50. S16Ol. OF this
amount $s29. III. 20Sn was from customs.
This includes the corporation tax eollec-
ton. without which there would have
been deficit Of nearly sl0000O0. The
following is the statement issued by the
Treasury Department:
"rhe ordinary receipts for the first full
year Of the new tariff law were greater
by almost $l5,Ooo 600 than the ordinary re-
ceipts during the fiscal year 1907, when
the total was $685.. 125. 1852. The fiscal year
OF 1907 was the banner year IN point OF
receipts, its total having exceeded that
Of any other year in the history OF the
government by almost $50. 900 600 Hence,
the Payne-Aldrich law produced in its
first year revenue greater by $4,000, 900
than the sum collected in any other year
Of our national life, except the year 1907.
1T is interesting TO note that the reve-
nue. derived from the corporation tax
feature Of the tariff law was $27.O9s 9s4. a
sum only 100000 less than the amount as
sessed.
There was expended on the construe-
ton Of the Panama Canal in the year
which ended last Saturday. So. 2S3. OS5s
The rise in receipts from dutiable
imports Is due not alone 10 the in
creased productivity OF the new tariff
law. but to improved administrative
methods. AT the port OF New York the
revenues have been augmented TO the
extent, it is estimated OF Sl2.O0O.O0O."

New York, Aug. S.-This morning orders
from the outside public were as scarce
as at the opening of any other week in
recent months. News over the weekend
provided no new material for specula-
ton and the market was as dull and idle
as on any OF the other dull days Of late
until the publication Of the government
crop report half an hour before the close.
Generally the report met with expecta-
tons created by damage to corn during
July and Improvement 20 the winter
wheat crop.
Movement IL ErrHtic.
The movement of the stock market
was erratic after the publication of the
report. Many traders on the floor and in
the offices We're misled by an error of one
Of the news agencies in giving out the
condition of corn, and the market was
thrown into considerable confusion After
the error was discovered and stocks
bought impulsively on the same account
il had been disposed of the market re-
covered in rally that continued until
the close.
Otherwise conditions Of the market were
the same as on the closing days of last
week, consistent frmness and strength
being displayed 20 the accompaniment Of
light trading.
No Effect on Prices.
The publication Of the monthly report
Of the Copper Producers Association had
no discerpible effect upon prices. The
report was favorable in that it showed
a decrease of nearly 100000 pounds in
production. and thus represented for the
first time a result from all the negotia-
tons for tho cUrtailment Of the produc-
ton that have been under way for the
past six months. On the other hand. de-
liveries showed a decrease in consumption,
particularly in foreign consumption.
which Il was reported last week was on
an almost unprecedentedly high scale.
New York bankers secured 100000 Of
the S3.000.O0O gold laid down in the London
market, and engaged $4,000 more for inn
portation from Mexico. The London en-
gagement was greater than had been ex-
pected after the advance in sterling ex-
change rates last week. The gold was
secured az the minimum mint price. Eng

MAhblo 4. " hlGHIs
Gen. Wright superintendent the publl-
cation Of the war records In his last
days at Mount McGregor Gen. Grant
penned this tribute to Col Mostly:
Since TIE close Of the war I have come 10
know Col. Mcsby personally and somewhat init
mately, He is different man entirely from what
had supposed. He is slender not tail. wfry. and
looks as II be cuald endure any amount If rhys-
zeal exercise. He is able and thoroughly honest
and truthful There were probably but few men
in the South who could bare commanded successfully
detachment in the rear q an or-osinr aruv and
50 near the border q hostilitcs as long as he did
without losing his entire command
In his memoirs Sheridan speaks Of
Mosby's active operations in the shen-
andoah Valley, but makes no complaint
or his method Of conducting war. but on
the contrary says: He was the most
formidable partisan I met in the war
Sheridan had met Morgan and Forrest
in the West.
President Hayes was a soldier with
Sheridan and knew all about Mosby and
his men, He appointed Mosby consul
TO Hongkong and William H Chapman.
the lieutenant colonel Of Mosby's FORTY
third virginia. Battalion special agent
.of internal revenue. Chapman has been
such an efficient officer that he stFll re-
tains his position.
The writer has before him a letter
from Gen. Grant to gentleman in
Washington. dated January L, 1872. IN
which he speaks Of having recommended
Col. Mosby's promotion in a letter to
Int A~Fn
same time Cd stated to the President
verbally that I thought Col. Mosby would
be much better pleased with a position at
home. and suggested two positions-one
OF them assistant attorney general and
the other district attorney Of Virginia"
SO far from going in disguise like the
Jessie Scouts, Of which Sheridan speaks
Mosby had the best uniformed command
in the Confederate service, All wore
the gray. Col. Mosbys uniform with the
insignia of his rank can be seen at the
National Museum.
Col. Charles Russell Lowell command
cd the Second Massachusetts Cavalry.
He was killed in the battle of Cedar
Creek, on October 70. 1854 For more
than year his regiment camped in
Fairfax and had daily conflict with
Mosby's men. He was qualified by ex-
perienee to form a correct judgment OF
Mosbys character as a soldier.
The following is an extract from let
ter Of Col. Lowell to his wife. written
from his camp at Centerville, Va: II
am sorry to disturb George" Col Lowell
writes on October 1s, 1868, but Mosby
is an honorable foe, and should be treat
ed as such" (see page 10. Life and Let
tiers Of Col. Charles Russell LOVELY
Although the passions Of the combatants
were then boiling, Col Lowell could still
see some merit in an enemy. and his
native chivalry rose superior 20 his preju-
diceS When he was dying on the field
Of honor he would not have asked the
