LIXGG DECLARED INSANE _ Judge Gary Said to Havo Favored Commutation for Fielden- Spies Said to Have Asked the Governor to Hang Him and Save the Others Presenta tion of the Petitions at Springfield. Chicago, Nov. 9.—The Tribune this morning says: Judge Gary has written a statement on behalf of the State that will undoubtedly result in saving Fielden from the gallows. The statement relates to none of the other prisoners, and cannot possibly affect their fate or.e way or another. It is not a petition nor a request for commuta tion of sentence, and neither is it a bare statement of facts. Just what it contains could not be learned last night, but it is rather a suggestion to the Governor that in view of certain facts therein recited favorable consideration of Fielden’s petition might be justified. The Judge was asked if he would give a copy of it or make any statement as to what the points enumerated were, but he declined. ‘ The statement is in the hands of Fielden’s friends,” he said, “and I do not know what their wishes are in the matter, so I do not feel at liberty to say anything about it.” “Poes it contain any request that the Governor commute Fielden’s sentence?” “It contains no request at all. I simply detailed some points in his croc, and said that, in my opinion, they mijffit justify fa vorable consideration of his jietition.” NOT DISCLOSED. “The points are?” “Those are what I do not feel at liberty to tell.” “Did you review the case at all?” “No. The Governor knows all about it himself.” “Have you written any statement for any of the other Anarchists i” “No. I have not been asked to do so.” States Attorney Grinnell was told what Judge Gary had said, and asked if he had done anything of a similar nature. “I in dorsed judge Gary’s statement in Fielden’s case,” he baid, “and also added a few points that occurred to me.” “Did you write any statements or opinion for any of the others?” “I made a plain statement of facts in re gard to Schwab, that I thought the Gov ernor ought to know. But I made no sug gestions whatever —merely a statement of facts.” “And the others?” “I have written nothing in regard to their cases, nor will I; I did not deem it policy for the State, and refused to do any thing.” “Did you send your statements to the Governor by mail?” “No they are in the hands of the prison er’s friends.” TWO ANARCHISTS ARRESTED. Fred Korst and Emil Wende, two well known Anarchists, were before Justice Lyon this morning, the former charged with conspiracy and carrying concealed weapons and the latter with conspiracy alone. The cases were continued until Nov. l*i in bonds of $2,000 and #l5O, respectively, in default of which they were locked up. Korst and Wende are members of a regular anarchistic group which numbers thirty-six members. It was resolved by the group to purchase arms and Korst was instructed to purchase revolvers for his associates, and he and Wende were down to purchase pis tols. A watch was placed on the two men, end when they attempted to purchase weapons they were arrested. LINGO DECLARED INSANE. Dr. Janies Kiman, a former warden of the Cook County Hospital for the Insane, tiled a petition in the County Court to-day, charging the fact to be that Louis Lingg, the rabid Anarchist bomb-maker, under sen tence of death, is insane, and that it would he for the benefit and for the safety of the community that he be confined in the State Hospital for the Insane The usual formal notice was served on State's Attorney Grinnell about 1 o’clock. It simply informed the latter that a motion for a writ commanding him to bring Louis Lingg before the court for trial for insanity had been filed. At 2 o’clock when the hear ing of the argument on the petition was to begin, Judge Prendergast anounced that he would not hear the application until after the Criminal Court had passed on it. Messrs. Hunt and Viernan, late thisafter noon, went to the Criminal Court and filed the petition for an inquiry into Lingg’s sanity with the Clerk, after which they sought Judge Baker’s court room, to lay the matter before him and ask him to interfere. The Judge was not in, and they went out in the street to find him. Incase they do not succeed in getting the case before Judgo Baker to-night, they will appear liefore him to-morrow morning. A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS ASKED. Attorney Moses Solomon, late this after noon obtained the signatures of Spies, Bidden and Schwab to a petition for a writ of haiieus corpus. The grounds upon which the writ is asked ore that the judgment of the Supreme Court of the State was illegal in that it said the judgment “should be affirmed,” instead of ''judgments” in each case, and also that the defendants should be in court at the time the judgment of the court was rendered, and that at that time they were in Cook county jail. The peti tion will lie laid before one of t.ho judges of the Criminal Court to-morrow morning. KEPT IN THEIR CELLS. The Anarchists were not allowed outside their cells to-day. Nina Van Zandt ap peared, hut was denied permission to see Spies. Mrs. Engel, however, was granted an interview with her husband. All inter est. tielonging to the fate of the doomed ■nan has been transferred to Springfield. Most of then sympathizers and their coun sel arc out. of town, interceding with the Governor. It is the general belief that nothing finul will be heard from Springfield before to-morrow. The Anarchists made no inquiry, nor did they exchange any words with each other at all during the day. All over town quiet but effective workers were engaged in attending to the multitude of arrangements that may have something to do with the hanging. IHe water works are being guarded, so are many of the big buildings down town. N*nv wires have been strung from the jail to the Chicago avenue po- Jtce station. Another special wire has been up between the jail and the Cen t's! police station, and still another wire be tween the jail and Harrison street police ttu ion. Should there happen to lie an up rising of any proportions—and the officials do •tot expect any—ample means are available to check it. HOPES OF THE CONDEMNED. Little before noon Spies called Mr. Os borne, the death watch, to his cell. The Anarchist wanted to talk just to rolieve the horrible tedium. He talked earnestly and at considerable length. Mr. Osborne said Spies and the others had strong hopes that the Governor would intercede and prevent their execution. Spies, Mr. Osborne said, regarded himself as an apostle of the poor and downtrodden. His position toward social order, he thought, was much like the one John Brown occu pied in behalf of the negro slaves. Were he put to death, coming generations would rise up and lament the execution, and his name would be an honored one among the world’s martyrs. Spies, Mr. Osborne said, fully be lieves this. BEGGED TO SIGN A PETITION. At 2:40 o’clock this afternoon the follow ing telegram was received by Parsons in jail: Sign immediately the petition I have prepared for you, and get Engel and Fischer to sign. Everything may depend upon this—your lives and others—the public. For God’s sake sign, and wire me at once. W. I‘. Black. Parsons at once declared the communica tion to be a fraud, as did also Fischer, but Kngel said he would sign if ttie others did. The dispatch was dated Springfield, and was filed at 2 o’clock this afternoon. Broad dealers on the North Side have re quested their customers to buy enough bread to-morrow to last them until Satur day. This is because the German bakers refuse to work on the day of tho execution, and are going to make it a holiday, in ac cordance with tho resolution adopted by the Central Labor Union at their last meet ing. A KAMI!LING EDITORIAL. The Arbuter Zeitung to-day, in a long ar ticle about the condemned men, bays: “Should there be any plans for disturbance during the probable murder of our con demned men, we hereby request the respec tive persons, not onlv in our own name, but in the name of Mrs. Parsons —who has given up her husband for lost and taken leave of him forever—that they may desist from carrying them out. When the trap with our martyrs drops that sound shall be heard throughout the wide land, free from alloy with anything else. The people of murderers, the majority of whom even now stand by in dumb, stupid apathy and listen to the "money rabble saying: ‘Their blood comes upon us and upon our chil dren.’ This people of murderers shall be brought to an understanding of what it is doing in murdering ours and its best men. Who ever wants to show on Friday that he looks upon the strugling of our condemn*! men as a murder, a murder for robbery committed by robbers upon the defenders of their vic tims. let them do as according to the bibli cal legend, the children of Israel did when the angel of death went through Egypt. Let them go aud by crape on their door indicate how they feel. Let every body remain at home on Friday; may the metropolis in sombre silence con template the work which the rulers propose to do; may it. be so still that even those who at the order of the societies should try to make a disturbance may not dare do so.” PLEAS BEFORE GOV. OGLESBY. Springfield, 111., Nov. 9.— The Chicago delegation to intercede with Gov. Oglesby in behalf of the condemned Anarchists ar rived here this morning. The Chicago Am nesty Association is represented by Messrs. H. L. Oliver, E. A. Stevens and J. R. Buchanan, of the Labor E quiver. These gentlemen had a set of petitions of their own and presented them to the Governor at their interview this morning. Prof. Wil liam Salter and D. J. Lloyd had a set of petitions which they laid before < Jov.fcOglesby after the first interview was finished. Capt. Black had sole-charge of the main petitions, and of these there were so many that it required a separate trunk to convey them here. Mr. Buchanan, who made an estimate of all the petitions sent in from all parts of tho country, says that there are eleven miles of names begging for clemency. The delegation of labor peo ple from New York comists of J. E. Quinn, Samuel Gempers, L. J. Ferrell and Edward King. It is claimed that they alone have petitions with 100,000 names attached. IN THE RECEPTION ROOM. On account of the rain and bad weather the delegation, which was to start for the State house at !l o’clock, was delayed until a little after that hour. The doors of the Governor’s reception room were thrown open at 9:40 o’clock and the different com mittees filed in. There were nearly 100 per sons present when they were all assembled. The relatives of the condemned sat in a semi-circle to the left of the speaker. Capt. Black began by reading a general petition which had been signed by the men them selves, and when he closed he said: “This has been signed by Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden and August Spies. The reason that the accused Parsons, Fischer, Engel and Lingg did not append their names to this paper was because they claimed they had forwarded to your excel lency their autograph letters, and did not think it necessary to sign this.” Capt. Black presented an affidavit from Otis Favar, a business man of Chicago, tending to show that the jury which tried the Anarchists had been deliberately packed against them by a bailiff. CAPT. BLACK’S SPEECH. After reading the petition and affidavit Capt. Black addressed the Governor. He explained every effort that had been made to comply with the requirements of the law governing the application for the interpos ing of executive clemency, and stated that Judge Gary and State's Attorney Grinnell had joined in the recommendation for clemency for Fielden and Schwab. Having disposed of the more formal parts of the ap plication he made an eloquent and touching appeal for mercy that brought tears to the eyes of many of his auditors. Gen. Trumbull followed Capt. Black and simply asked for mercy in plain and unpre tentious terms. Mrs. Cora L. V. Richards, representative of tho Amnesty Association, was the next speaker. She had evidently carefully pre pared for the occasion, and snoke without hesitation aud well. She argued that pub lie policy and justice were opposed to capi tifl punishment generally, and pleaded earnestly and eloquently for the wives, mothers and children of the condemned. Hon. E. M. Haines, of Waukegon. fol lowed. He asked for commutation of sen tence on the grounds of justice and public policy. His address was characteristic, and amused rather than convinced. Senator Streeter, of the Legislative Com mittee, was the next speaker. He was brief, and an adjournment" until 2 o’clock this afternoon follow#! his address. At 11 o’clock the morning session was over and the friends of the Anarchists ad journed to the Leland hotel to settle upon tho plan of attacking the Gubernatorial mind in the afternoon. SORROW OK THE WOMEN. When the meeting broke up tho women huddled together in a corner and said but little. Their great sorrow was apparent and they were left to themselves. Capt. Black stepped up and requested the Governor to turn over ail the papers to the reporters, because of the intense interest of tho public. He received an answer that the reporters could have them as soon as the Governor had seen them. George Schilling and L. S. Oliver carried the trunk con taining the petitions in front of the Gov- SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1887. ernor. Taking out a large pile, Mr. Oliver said: “These petitions contain the names of 00,000 people living in Chicago.” The executive requested an affidavit to that effect, and Mr. Oliver replied: “It will be presented later.” As Gov. Oglesby was about to step into his private office, 'Mrs. Black stopped him. She was permitted to speak a few sentences, when the Governor interrupted her with: “Excuse me, madam, but I should like to take care of this case myself.” a telling point. A telling point by the mercy seekere was made in the afternoon. Almost at the very outset William Urban, representing the Central Labor Union of Chicago—over 10.- 000 workingmen—was at the moment ad dressing the Governor. The shooting of Begley by Pinkerton men at the stock yards was instanced by Mr. Urban as a case wiiere murder was committed by a member of a well-known organization—the Pinker ton agency—in the employ of another well known organization, the Packers’ Union, and the controlling spirits of the organization were not held responsible for the crime of the individual member. The plea seemingly interested the Governor strongly, and he called for a repe tition of the sentence concerning the Htock Yards murder. The Governor seemed if possible, to grow more and more deeply impressed as the moments sped, and the bystanders did not fail to mark the care with which he ordered each petition carefully arranged for his future reference, and his particular solicitude in obtaining the name, address and standing of each spokesman. Gradually the friends of the condemned became more and more hopeful. The demeanor of the Governor plainly showed that a most thor ough investigation, with the broadest view, and kindest of hearts, would be given the arguments and petitions. THE AFTERNOON HEARING. The friends of the Anarchists held a meet ing at the Leland Hotel at noon to select the persons to address the Governor during the afternoon. The pleading began at 2:15 o’clock. Messrs. Bailey and Campbell of the Trades Assemblies, were the first speakers. They were followed by William Norville and Mr. Oliver of Chicago, Mr. Shellburg of Detroit, Mich., and Represen tative C. G. Dixon, of Chicago, Mr. Burn pas of the Central Labor Union of New York, J. E. Quinn, Haste" Workman, aud Frank Farrell, representing Division 49 of the New York Trades Assembly, also addressed the Gov ernor. They w'ere followed by George C. Schilling, who presented a petition from the Iron Holders’ Union of Chicago, to which two of the deceased ex-policemen belonged, asking for clemency, lie closed his address by a short speech. The Governor then received the relatives of the condemned Anarchists, the audience being excluded. Up to a late hour this evening the Governor was still holding a private interview with the friends and rela tives of the Anarchists. He has given no expression as to his intentions, and it is not likely that any decision will be given to night. it was said this afternoon that Spies’ brother would lay a letter before the Gov ernor from Spies this evening. It is claimed that Mr. Griijnell said in his speech that if Spies should tie hung the law would be satisfied. In his letter Spies asked that the sentence of his comrades be com muted, and that he may die, thereby satis fying Mr. Grinnell’s demand. SCHWAB’S ADDITIONAL PLEA. Among the petitions presented this after noon was the following- To His Excellency Richard J. Oglesby: Dear Sib—As supplemental to the petition heretofore signed by me I desire to say that I realize that many utterances of mine in connec tion with the labor agitation of the past, ex pressions made under intense excitement and often without any deliberation, were inju dicious. These I regret, believing they must have had a tendency to excite to violence oftentimes. I protest again that 1 had no thought or purpose of violence In connection with the Ilaymarliet, meeting I did not attend and I have always deplored the result of that meeting. Respectfully. Michael Schwab. Capt. Black left for Chicago at 9 o'clock to-night, leaving Mr. Schilling in charge. No decision is expected from the Governor to-night. Capt. Black has doubtless gone to Chicago to use all his power with Fat sons to induce him to sign a petition to the Governor. ADVOCATES OF HANGING. San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 9.—The fol lowing telegram was sent to Gov. Oglesby to-day: The American Alliance, with its membership ot 3,000, representing the American sentiment of the Pacific coast, implores you to let the law take its course as regards the Chicago Anarch ists convicted of murder. Victor J. Robinson, President. C. U. Brewster, Secretary. PRAYERS AT SARATOGA. Saratoga, N. Y., Nov. 9. —At a prayer meeting of the Congregntionalista to-night prayers were offered for the condemned Chicago Anarchists, but the sentiment was expressed that pity and mercy should not overshadow justice.

At a largely attended meeting of the city Radicals and Liberals this evening, it wax resolved to send a cable dispatch to the Governor of Illinois requesting him to exercise clemency in the Anarchist cases. The condemned men were spoken of as the noblest cham pions of labor of modern times. Henry George was strongly condemned for his pusillanimity in the matter. A Lover Tries to Starve Himself. Washington, Nov. 9. —R. W. Haworth, of Philadelphia, who is said to lie well con nected there, has apparently been trying to starve himself to death on account of disap pointed love. He had been ill at one of the focal hotels for a week, when he was re moved last evening to the Providence Hos pital. To-day the manager of tho hospital applied for his admission to the government hospital for the insane on the ground that he was insanely trying to kill himself by fasting. His illness is simply the natural result. Mr. Dickinson Will Accept. Washington, Nov. 9. —lt is stated that Don M.

New York, Nov. 9. —Mayor Hewitt to to-day expressed pleasure at tho result of the election in this city and State, lie pre dicted that it was a forerunner of the cer tain renomination and re-election of Presi dent Cleveland. He accounts for the shrink age of the I <abor vote by what he culls the change of sentiment among Henry George's former followers. Mr. George, he thinks, while not an original genius has done much good by bringing to light many existing evils in pub lic office. The Mayor says that while Col. Fellows is not in any sense an angel, he will do his whole work as a prosecutor aud sur round himself with able assistants.

Y., Nov. 9. —Tracy, Item., is elected to Congress by about 2,300 ma jority. VIRGINIA’S VICTORY. The Legislature Democratic in Both Branches. Richmond, Va., Nov. 9, 11 p. m.— The returns up to this hour show that the Sen ate will stand: Democrats 25, Republicans 10, with five Senatorial districts yet to hear from, which will probably change these fig ures to Democrats 28 and Republicans 12. The House stands: Democrats 58, Republi cans 23. with nineteen counties to hoar from, which will probably change tho fig tiros to Democrats 65, Republicans 35, mak ing a majority of 46 on joint ballot. PITTSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC. Danville, Va., Nov. 9. —Full returns from Pittsylvania county, give Hurt, Dem ocratic candidate for the Senate, a majority of 33. Three Democratic members of the House of Delegates aro elected by a majori ty of from 25 to 50. STAUNTON’S STAUNCHNESS. Staunton, Va., Nov. 9. — The official vote of Staunton and Augusta county gives the highest Democratic candidate over the high est Republican 616 majority. Ecoles, the lowest Democrat , has a majority of 586 over Dunlap, the highest Republican. Alle ghany gives about 75 Republican majority. Bath 11 Republican, and Highland a small Republican majority. Meagre returns from Highland county in dicate a Republican majority pf 100, thus assuring the election of McClftitie, Rep.

Charlottesville, Va., Nov. 9.—The Democratic candidates in this county are elected by 619 majority. FREDERICK COUNTY’S VOTE. Winchester, Va., Nov. 9.—ln Frederick county the official vote gives 621 majority for Harrison, Dent., for the State Senate. Sil ver, Dent., for the House of Delegates, has 699 majority. FORAKER’S ELECTION. The United Labor Party Knocked Out at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Nov. 9.— The United Labor leaders are disappointed and despondent. They were confident that they would elect their legislative ticket, but when the re turns showed losses in their strongest wards, they quickly gave up all as lost. One of the leaders says there is no chance for the Labor part}' here. Victory was needed to hold the men together, but now it will be useless to attempt to elect a ticket in Ham ilton county. Evidences of a combination are seen in the figures of the Governor’s vote and that of the legislative ticket. The Union Ijahor legislative ticket in Cincinnati is from 2,000 to 3,000 greater than for its Governor. The Democratic vote for Gover nor is about 4,000 greater than for its legis lative ticket. Gov. Foraker’s vote is from 000 to 1,000 below the vote on the Republi can legislative ticket. The Times-Star, in its summary of the result of the election in Hamilton county, says: “The total vote was 04,811, which is over 5,000 less than in 18H5 and nearly 8,000 less than the Presidential vote in 1884. It was an election of surprises. The Re publicans were confident of victory, but. they really did not anticipate such an overwhelming victory. The fact that Foraker leads Powell in this county by nearly 7,000 votes, in spite of the trade between the Democrats and the Union Labor men, speaks volumes. The Union Labor party instead of closely press ing the Republicans, or defeating them, as predicted, lags from 15,000 t<> 19.000 behind them, and on an average 5,000 behind the Democrats. This is the end of the Union Labor party.” Complete footings for Hamilton county show the following: For Governor, Foraker, :i(),C80; Powell, 23,417: Seitz, Union Labor, 11,083; Sharp, Proh., 500. Foraker’s plur ality, 0,593. The Republican State Committee claims the election of twenty-two Senators with the possibility of twenty-three, and sixty threo representatives. In case Carlin, Rep., is elected in the Thirty-third district, the Republicans have twenty-three Sena tors. MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICAN. Ames Gains Several Thousand Votes Over Last Year. Boston, Nov. 9.—Returns from ail the cities and towns in the State show that 205,000 votes were cast yesterday, or about 54,000 more than in 1885, and 22,000 in excess of last year’s vote. The vote is divided as follows: Ames, Rep., 135,912; Lovering, Dem., 118,311; Earl, Proh., 10,097; Marks, Ijabor, 848. This make* Ames’ plurality 17,611, against 0.478 last rear.

New Jersey’s Legislature. Trenton, N. J., Nov. o. —Corrected re turns to-day indicate that the next Legisla ture will stand: Senate, Republicans 12, Democrats 9; House, Republicans 37, Demo crats 23. MARYIi AND’S LITTLE POUT. Jackson’s Majority the Smallest of Any Governor in Twenty Years. Baltimore, Nov. 9.—The last precinct in the city was not returned until 10 o'clock to day. The total vote of the city was 05,- 583, of which Jackson, Item., received 34,- 587; Brooks, Rep., 27,839; Buldwin, Proh., 1,159 —a Democratic majority of 5,589. The entire legislative ticket is Democratic so far as the city is concerned. Tho counties are in some instances very close, and Anne Arundel, heretofore strongly Democratic, gives a small Republican majority. Sena tor Gorman’s county (Howard) is Demo cratic by a reduced majority. The figures so far received would indicate a considerably reduced Democratic majority in the Legislature, but reliable estimates are not obtainable. Tho call for the Constitutional Conven tion was defeated by a heavy majority, probably 15,000. Jackson’s majority in the State is estimated at 9,000. This is the smallest received by any Governor for twenty years. 10,000 for the state ticket. Baltimore, Md., Nov. 10, 12:15 a. m.— Up to midnight it is not possible to give the total vote cast yesterday. Returns from some of tho more remote counties are delayed and many are incomplete; hut suf fleient information is at hand to secure the election of the Democratic State ticket by a majority of 10,009. Tln< Legislature on joint ballot will have a Democratic ma jority of 71, a Republican gain of 14. The pro|iosition to hold a constitutional conven tion was defeated by at least 15,000 Votes. The Prohibition vote throughout the State was about 5,000. IOWA’S VOTE. A Probable Plurality of About 13,000 for Gov. Larabee. Dermoiner, la.. Nov. 9.—Returns from 750 of the 900 precincts of the State show a net Democratic gain of 785. If tho same vote is maintained in the rest of the State it will give Larabee, Rep., for Governor, 13,000 plurality over Anderson, Dem.. and a majority of 3,000 over all. The vote of Cain, Union Labor, for Governor, will be between 9,900 and 10,000. The vote for Fraham, Proh., will fall under 200 in the State. The Legislature will tie Republican by about 45 on joint ballot. * Cook County’s Vote. Chicago. Nov. 9. —The total vote oast in Cook county yesterday for Judge of the Superior Court was 63,342, of which Joseph E. Gary, Hep., and Deni., received 56,084, and Cttpt.

In South 1 lakota the vote in favor of division was very large. local option seems to have gaiuod the day in most of the counties. CLEVELAND HAPPY. Congratulations Pour In on Him from all Over the Country. Washington, Nov 9.—The President has had a happy day ever since breakfast. He has been receiving telegrams of con gratulation from all over the country on the results of yesterday’s elections. Senators Voorbees, Vest, Pugh and Call, and Repre sentatives Craine, Bynum, Breckinridge and Biand called on him to express their gratification. They all told him that they now believed that nothing but bis death would prevent his renomination and re election. One of them said as he came out of the White House, “Cleveland feels good all over. He cannot express his gratifica tion.” The President received all the verbal con gratulations offered him to-day in a hearty, cordial way, contenting himself when his re-nomination and re-election were predicted by saying that he was gratified with the success of the Democratic party in yester day’s election. WISE USES HIS FISTS Conflicting Stories as to Who Came Out First Best. Richmond, Va., Nov. 9.—A personal en counter took place on Main street late this afternoon between Congressman George D. Wise and William H. Mulien, editor of the Labor Herald, (weekly) and the Evening Herald (daily), resulting in both being arrested and bailed to appear before the Police Court to-morrow. Mr. Wise says he has lieen informed that Mr. Mullen lmd been making lying statements in reference to himself, and determined to whip him for doing so. Finding Mr Mullen this afternoon; he proceeded to assault him, but was caught and held, and while being held Mr. Mullen struck him in the face aud then ran off, Air. Wise chasing him for some dis tanee. Mr. Alullen’s statement concurs with Mr. Wise’s, except he says that when Mr. Wise made the assault and was endeav oring to throw him, he (Alullen) struck Mr. Wise, and upon their being separated they walked off.

Total Receipts of $118,829,523 From All Sources During the Fiscal Year K ded June 30-The Improvements in the System Which the Commis sioner Recommends. Washington, Nov. 9.—Hon. Joseph S. Miller, Commissioner of Interna] Revenue, sui mitted his annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury. It is a printed document of 160 pages, and gives a full and detailed statement of the operations of the internal revenue service during the last fiscal year, and ids:- during the first quarter of the present fiscal year. The total receipts from all sources of internal revenue for the fiscal year ended Juno 30 were $118,820,523, as compared with $116,902,869 for the year 1886. It is estimated that the sum of $120,000,- 000 will be collected from the various sources of internal revenue during the cur rent fiscal year, provided no changes are made in the rates of taxation now imposed. The total cost of collection for the past fiscal year, including the salaries of officers, was $4,065,149, being about 34 percent, of the amount collected. The cost during the previous fiscal year was about 36 per cent, of the collections. £ NEXT YEAR’S EXPENSES. The estimated expenses for the next fiscal year amount to $4,125,280. The general condition of the service is re ported to be good. Commissioner Miller says the reduction of the number of internal revenue districts by the executive order of May last has very considerably les eued the cost of collecting the internal revenue taxes, and has not in any manner been detriment al to the interest of "taxpayers. The whole number of grain distillers reg istered during the hist fiscal year was 1,160, of which number 909 were operated, an increase of twenty-eight in the number reg istered and nineteen in the number operated, as compared with the previous year. There were 3,986 fruit distillers registered, and 3,926 operated, a decrease of 1,115 in the number registered and 1,149 in the num ber ojierated during the year. taxing parts ok a gallon. Commissioner Miller renews his recom mendation of last year in regard to tbo taxution of fractional parts or the gallon of distilled spirits. He also urges legisla tion authorizing the establishment of sjiecial bonded warehouses for the storage of bran dy made from apples or peaches, or from any fruit whose distillation may be au thorized. He also recommends that the provisions of section 3255 of the Revised Statutes be enlarged so as to authorize the Commissioner, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, to permit the distillation of other fruits under the same provisions which now govern the distillation of apples, peaches and grajies. Huch brandy, he says, should also be included in warehousing act above recommended. the production. The quantity of spirits, 77,831,599ga110n5, produced and deposited in distillery ware houses during the last fiscal year is less than the production of the year 1886, by 2,512,- 781 gallons. The quantity of spirits, 66,- 183,903 gallons, withdrawn and the tax paid from distillery warehouses during the I>ast fiscal year is less than the quantity withdrawn during the previous fiscal year by 2,013,597 gallons. The quantity of distilled spirit* in the United .States, exr -pt what may be in cus toms bonded warehouses, on Oct. 1, 1887. was 104039,386 gallons, this quantity being distributed us follows: In distillery and special bonded warehouse* 61,600,377 gal lons, in the hands of wholesale liquor deal ers 14,614,959 gallons, in the hands of re tail liquor dealers 28,216,050 gallons. average stock or retailers. In making the above computation the average stock of ouch retail liquor dealer in the United States is estimated at 150 gallons. The commissioner sets forth the evils arising from the present method of treating ro imported spirits and recommend* 1. Tliatsection2sooof the Revised Statutes be so amended os to exclude, as an article subject to customs duty .all domestic spirits returned to this country, and to provide for the collection of the internal revenue tax due on such spirits as shown by the marks and brand* on packagi • at the time of the removal of the spirits from the distiller’s warehouse , or, if this is deemed inadvisable, 2. That the section be amended so as to provide for the collection of interest on the duty imposed on re-imported spirits, to lie computed from tbo date of the w ithdrawal of the spirit* from the warehouse, or in case the spirit* were exported with the benefit of drawback interest to date from the payment of the drawback. The aggregate amount of taxes collected from tobacco during the year was $33,018,- 067. This amount includes the internal revenue taxes paid by stamps on imported manufactured to bans), snuff, cigars and cigarettes. The export accounts show an increase in manufactured tobacco of 548,061 pounds, in the number of cigars exported of 423,980, and in the number of cigarettes exported of 5,634,120. The number of cigars imported during the fiscal year, ended June 30, was 15,625,830. The "value of the manufactured tobacco imported was $110,245.
