Th« following Is an interview with Com-
-issioner Jus. 8. Miller this morning:
"Mr. Commissioner, I lmve come to see
.hat Russian despotism you have been set-
tliucup inhVrth Georgia.”
The Commissioner of Internal Kevennc
miled end answered:
"The charge in certain places that the im
temal revenue sysUm has been one of op-
pressionisavery unjust and wholly false
charge. I do not believe there was anything
in it certainly nothing of consequence before
»e came in, and I know there is nothing to
justify it under our administration. The in
structions to officers under which these laws
,re eiecuted arc expressly to the effect that
.. ...n,edition of teolmical offenders shall
countenanced, and as *“
(be character and efficiency
coUeetonu deputies, fete, of marshals and
their deputies", has been greatly improved
since the Democratic administration came
in, there is no reason for saying that any ex
cept real offenders are prosecuted.
The Department has been very particular
iu this matter, and while we cannot have
immediate knowledge here ol everything
done in the execution of the laws, we are
tpt to know if there has been failure to exe
cute them, in the spirit or in the letter. Ex-
sggeruted reports ef proee^tion; hs™. >"
some cases, inflamed the people in oertain
communities against tfao system, but I as
sure yon that the service is not only well
managed in the collection of revenues, hut
ia respect of doing justice to people. Only
offenders are prosecuted.
“Let me show yon our printed regulations
fortheobservance of revenue edficcrs, otc.
Here, os page 125 you will rend:
‘Where persons have, knowingly
and willfully, violated the low,
with the evident intention of defrauding the
government of its revenues, vigorous meas
ures should be taken to bring the parties to
trial and punishment; but it is suggested
that no enoonragement should he given to
the commencement of proiecotion for mere
Inimical, slight and unintentional offences,
involving no loss to the government and
where no question of fraud is involved; and
ill complaints presented by professional in
formers should receive careful scrutiny be
fore the commencement of prosecutions
thereupon.’.
Again: as a rule complaints by collectors
or deputy collectors before United States
eommiisitners of violations of law should be
nude to the commissioners nearest to the
mideuce of the offender. It is only in rare
instance#, and for good reasons, that this
office would sanction a departure from that
rule.”
Going more directly into tho subject In
band, the commissioner said:
“The statement of Mr. Crenshaw is very
itrong. Indeed, it is more full and cogent
than was necessary to overthrow the criti
cism levelled at his admiaistration. Ho has
not met all the charges fully and 6atisfac'
toriljr. Mr. Gannt has also written well on
the subject,”
STILL BREAKING.
“Now, Ur. Commissioner, what about those
broken stills?”
“Just this; in the course of ten years at
knst, 1,500 illicit distilleries have been
•<ued under the law in Georgia, and here is
the law. It is the last half of section 333*2,
°l the Revised Statutes. It reads:
And in case of seizure of a still, doubler,
*onn, worm-tub, or other distilling appar
atus, having a less producing capacity than
150 gallons per day, for any offeuse involv
es the forfeiture of the same, where said
typermtus shall be of less than $500 value,
^d where it shall he impracticable to re
move the same to a place of safe storage
fr°ia the place where seized, the seizing ofli-
^«r is authorized to destroy the same only so
4r u to prevent the use thereof for the pur-
of distilling; provided that such de
struction shall bo in the presence of at least
°ne creditable witness, and that such witness
•liall unite with such office in a duly sworn
^port of said seizure and destruction, to be
the commissioner of internal
Arenac, in which they shall set forth the
Pounds of the elaim of forfeiture, the reasons
or such seizure and destruction, their csti-
***** of the fair cash value of the
a Pparatns destroyed, and also of
j.‘ e Materials remaining after such
traction, and a statement that from facU
their own knowledge, they have
°Qbt whatever that such said distilling ap*
l-smtus was set up for use and not registered,

* ^d it waa impracticable to remove

c ce .year after such destruction the owner

P‘ration to tho secretary of the treasury,

make an allowance to sai.l owner, not
’•'■teiling the value of said apparatus, levs
* ralne of said materials estimated in said
re port; and if the claimant shall thereupon
think tobacco a fit subject also for taxation.
Let one instance of its special beauty suffice.
Take the ease of tramps. This class pay no
taxes whatever, unless it be on liquor and
tobacco. Here you have a disreputable ele
ment forced to bear a part of the burdens of
the qovcnimeut.”
“Now as to fruit brandy as a concession in
framing a revenue measure?”
“I am opposed to it, and for this reason, if
no nother. It will increase frauds on the
revenue. Any distiller can take one gallon
of brandy and make ten gallons by mixing
it with wind or whisky. Who can tell it
from the genuine? Besides, these very
frauds will render necessary the enlarge
ment of the revenue service which is so
clamored against by the internal revenue re
formers. No, let us reduce the customs
first, then, os a concession, tobacco, but keep
the tax on all liquors as Jong as the govern
ment needs taxes.”

SURVEY OT JEKYL CHEEK.
The letter of the Secretary of War, with
letter from the chief of engineers .inclosing
a report of the survey of Jekyl creek was
submitted to the House to-day. Previous
examination and report were made by the
chief of engineers in 1860, and from this the
Information i® drawn, as he -states that no
essentially new (eolorea were found in the
survey of 1886.
Jekyl creek is five miles long and is part
of the inside passage between Havannah,
Go., and Fernandina, Fla., connecting St.
Simon’s sound and Brunswick .river on the
north with Jekyl sound and St. Andrew*
sound south. The principal obstructions
arc a troublesome shall between the points
where Latham and Mud rivers enter
the creek, and extensive fiats in
the bight formed by the southern shore of
tlio Brunswick river. The least mean low
water depth across mud fiats at the uiouth of
the creek, as well as across the shoals at the
mouth of Mud River U, at present, tbxoe .and
a half feet. The mean rise and fall of the
tide U six and eight-tenths feeL
Steamers make daily trips through Jekyl
Creek, besides many sailing vessels. They
pass only at or near high water. The com
merce of this route, now between two hun
dred thousand and four hundred thousaud
per nnnum, could easily be increased if the
two obstructions were removed.
The report also enlarge* on war value of
the channels. CoLGillmore recommends
nppopriation of two hun
dred dollars for further survey
and makes the following suggestions for ini-
Trovement: First, a turning wall at the
mouth of the creek; second, dredging through
the mud fiats to aid in forming a new chan
nel; third, closing Mud river by means of
dam to prevent the escape of water tutuUi,
that branch at ebb tide; fourth, dredging
across the shoal in Jekyl creek near the
uiouth of Mud river. These are substantialy
the same recommendations m were made in
November, 1860.

in the act of stealing them, and were run
off from them and were heading in this di

As soon as they arrived here, which they

his posse and arrested. They proved to
be some old offenders, in the persons of

A CHASE AFTER A CONVICT.
H* Tlirow tho l)n<r® Olf tho Scent—
An Exciting Run.
Atlanta, January 23.—Sergeant White,
of the mounted force, assisted by Mounted
Officers Goodson and Mercer^ arrested this
morning an escaped convict from the
county chain-gang by the name of Nathan
Sims. _He was found in a house near the
old rolling mill .property. Sims escaped
from the North Atlanta smiad, which is at
ork near West View Cemetery, about
three weeks ago. When he left he huu,
still four months to serve. lie left the
camp wearing double shackles and a suit
of ?<tripcfl. Boon after escaping he knocked
off his shackles and stole a suit of citizen’s
clothes. Germany, the superintendent of
the camp®, followed him for some distance
ith a pair of dog®. After a run of sev-
ral hours the chase was abandoned. Tho
ere never found and it is believed
hat the convict killed them. As soon as
dogs were lost another pack was se
cured and another effort made to catch the
av.
cogs found the track of the convie
in him into a small stream of water.
Thi convict by wading down the atreai:
lire# the dog* off his track, ami finall
d. Nothing was heard of him again
until a few days ago when Sergeant White
learned that lie was in Atlanta, and this
mornittg succeeded in capturing him. Sinn
ays that when the two dogs came up with
him he made friefnds of them, ant
ated on the ground resting with them
about him when he heard the other dogs
open on his trail. He then described how
he took to the water when the socond pack
prosed him. In explanation of what be
came of the two dogs which were put after
him and which found him, he aays that he
left them on the banks of the stream, but
tlie impression is that he killed them.
Illinois Jeweler
•iitnrkttMe Watch Show.
From the Jewelry News,
A gentleman connected with tho Illinois
Watch Company has a wonderfully curious
watch dial. Instead of Roman numerals
to denote the hours there are eleven small
bat very distinct silhoutte figures repre
senting a man out with his dog for a
day'® sport. At 7 o’clock he is seen start
ing out with his gun and dog; at 8
o’clock he makes a snot; at 9 o’clock lie
has a sandhill crane which measures as
long as himself; at 30 o’clock the man
ana his dog are scared at the sight of a
jack rabbit sitting upon his hind legs with
his big long ears raised above the bushes;
al 11 o'clock ilic hunter taken a mink,
and while in this attitude the.dog sits in
front of his master, with his nose pointing
directly at the flask; at 12 o’clock the
sportsman is seen sitting on a stump eating
a lunch—the dog is eyeing a piece oi
bread which the hunter held in his
liitml.
At 1 o’clock he starts out to finish the
rest of his day, and so he takes his dog
and fishing tackle and goes to the w\ater;
at 2 o’clock the dog, which Is behind his
master, lias beeu caught with the hook
by an attempt to throw in his line; at 3
o’clock he and his dog are all straightened
out again and the line is in the water,
he has both hands on the pole, and his
foot braced on a stump by tne water’s edge
as though he had a tremendous bite; at 4
o’clock the man has got a big fish on his
line, which has pulled him off hi® feet,
and ho falls on the dog and doubles him
all up. but the man is holding fast to the
pole, which is bent almost double; at 5
o'clock he is all straightened out again,
his pole is thrown across his shoulder,
and with hi* fish in the other hand he
starts for home, the dog following behind
with his head hanging down, being all
tired out. The man’s name is also paint
ed in the center of the dial in rustic letters.
The dial reflect* a great deal of credit
upon tho artist, Mr. Charles Geyer. The
figure VI. is superseded by the seconds.
