AMOUNT OF INCOME TAX.
Commissioner Miller’s Estimate from
the Returns Filed.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Mil
ler has given out his official estimate !
of the revenue to be realized from the
income tax as lie stated it in a letter
to Secretary Carlisle:
“Telegraphic advices from the col
lectors of the several internal revenue I
districts indicate . that the aggregate
amount of income tax shown by the
returns which were filed before the
Itith instant wiL be about 81 l,36o,000.
Delayed returns and corrections, it is
believed, will considerably increase
this amount. The total expenditures !
on account of the work, including nee

end of the pr sent fiscal year, will not
exceed $135,000.” |

Spanish government that tho rebellion

gents are badly nrmed and
The dispatches say that if the uprising

pos will ask for reinforcements.
Russia is Displeased.
The Kussian journals, according to
dispatches from St. Petersburg, are
more vigorous in their utterances re
garding the conditions of the treaty
between China and Jupau than the
English papers, nud sound warning
that the signing of such a treaty of
peace as indicated by the dispatches of
tho last fe y days will be only a prelude
to a wider, though unnecessary, armed
conflict.

minister, presented his credentials to
President Diaz, of Mexico, Thursday,
and was cordially received.
Minister L. A. Thurston has arrived
at Honolulain company with Finance
Minister Damon. Being interviewed
on coming out of the cnbinet meeting,
Mr. Thurston said that no change
whatever had taken place in his official
relations with Secretary Gresham and
that he knew of no foundation for the
newspaper statements on this subject.
Foreign Minister Hatch confirmed
that statement, adding tlint this gov
ernment had received no intimation
about it from Minister Willis.
Assistant Supervising Architect
Kemper has returned to Washington
after a trip to Atlanta, Ga., where he
went to look after the new government
building. He expresses himself as
eminently satisfied with the progress
of the work and says it will be com
pleted on schedule time, July 1st. Air.
Kemper bubbles all over with enthusi
asm about the cotton exposition when
the subject is mentioned. He was
amazed, he says, at tho outlook and
predicts that it will be second to no
American exposition save the world’s
fair nt Chicago. “It will be as great
an exposition,” said he, “as the Phila
delphia centennial of 1876,”
The Nicaraguan minister in reply to
a query says: “My country has no
intention of annulling the contract
with the Maritime company for the
construction of the Nicaragua canal.
On the contrary, wo have every desiro
to see tho canal built and by Ameri
cans. The contract has a number of
years to rnu, and if it is uncompleted
at tho expiration of that time, there is
no doubt that an extension of tho time
will be granted. If the company shall
for any reason throw up the contract,
Nicaragua will, I am certain, grant a
similar concession to the United
States, if this country desires such
concession. ”
Great activity is boiug displayed by
candidates for the position ot assistant
comptroller of the treasury, mado vn
cant by the death of Colonel Mansur,
of Missouri. Several of the officials
in the comptroller’s ollico and a num
ber of ex-members of congress are as
pirants, although only two ex congress
men, Bynum, of Indiana, and Wise,
of Virginia, have formally filed appli
cations for the position. This is the
fiist important office to be filled since
the president’s letter on the silver
question was made public, and it is un
derstood tho soundness of applicants
on that question will be a controlling
factor in deciding who will receive
the appointment.
A bill recoguiziug the belligerency
of the Cuban revolutionists has been
prepared in Washington and will be
introduced iu congress when that body
convenes in December next. It was
drafted at the suggestion of certain
representatives and senators who are
in sympathy with the efforts of the
Cubans to throw oft' the yoke of Spain,
and these gentlemen will use their in
fluence to pass it through both houses. United
Such action on the part of the
States would,of course, be of immeuse
service to the revolutionists. It would
result in the free shipment of armsaml
men to the island in support of the
insurgents’ cause and would give them
the moral and material support which
they so greatly desire.
It is positively learned at Washing
ton that public sentiment iu Japan is
strongly turned in the direction of
taking possession of Hawaii. While
the native Hawaiians still constitute
the largest nationality, 84,000, to the
Japanese 25,000, the latter have the
largest number of male adults, being
20,000 to the native 16,000. There
can be no doubt that a small Japanese
squadron, with 1,000 troops co-operat
ing with the resident Japanese, could
easily overcome any resistance possible
for ail the rest of the population of
Hawaii to make. The safety of this
government against an early conquest
by Japan must be in the protection of
the United States. Failing in that,
appeal must be made to British pro
tection.
Olney on a Rehearing.
Attorney General Oiney filed in the
supreme court of the United States
Wednesday afternoon a brief upon the
petition for a rehearing of the income

department of justice or at the court
that the government would respond
to the notice by Mr. Guthrie of the
