FIGURES ON INTERNAL TAXES Receipts for FIscnl Year, $271,804, OOO Money Refunded on Leg acies Quantities of Ar j tides Taxed. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. John W. Yerkes. Commissioner of Internal Reve nue, In his report for the fiscal year end ed June 30. 1002, says that by the acts abolishing the war revenue taxes In ternal taxes have been reduced about ?100.000,OW. There has been, however, an increase from revenue taxes laid on distilled spirits and other objects that were not affected by the war revenue legislation. The receipts of the bureau for the fiscal year ended June 20. 1901, were $30G,S71,C9, and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, 5271,867,990. By an act of Congress of date of June 27, 1902, provision was made for the re funding of taxes paid upon legacies and bequests for uses of a religious, charitable or educational character, for the encour agement of art, etc, under the act of June 13; 1S98. Refunding claims on this account amounting to some 5435,000 have been allowed already, and it la believed the total amount that will be refunded under thla law will amount to some ?C40. 000. Congress having provided for the payment of a drawback for rebate on all original and unbroken factory packages of smoking and manufactured Jobacco and snuff and cigars held by manufacturers or dealers on the first of July, 1901, 49.364 claims have been paid, the rebates being 53.10S.51L In addition to the claims for refund or rebate presented, there have been filed "during the fiscal year 1902. 4743 claims for abatement of taxes assessed. Of these 3S57 were allowed, amounting to 54.187,631. and 440 claims, amounting to $449,284, were rejected or returned for amendment. In 1901. the total production of spirits was 128.5C8.201 gallons: in 1902, 132.843.802 gal lons. In 1901, in round numbers, 100.000, 00 gallons of tax-paid spirits were with drawn; in 1902, 104.000,000. The percentage of cost of collection for the fiscal year 1902 is $1 70, an Increase of 15 per cent on each $100 in the percentage of cost of collection, as compared with the pre ceding fiscal year, when the lowest per centage of cost In the history of this bureau in the administration of internal revenue laws was reached. This Increased percentage is due largely to increased ex penses attending changes in the internal revenue laws. It Is estimated that the receipts from all sources of internal revenue for the current fiscal year 1903, will aggregate 5220,000.000. The statement of receipts for the months of July, August and Septem ber, 1902, would appear to Indicate that the receipts for the year'' will be large ly in excess of the above estimates, but these receipts are regarded as abnormal. The quantities of articles on which tax was paid during the last fiscal year fol lows: Spirits, distilled , from apples, peaches, grapes, pears, pineapples, oranges, apri cots, berries, prunes, figs and cherries-, 1,403,204 gallons. Spirits distilled from other material, 103.401,447 gallons. Fermented liquors, 44,478,832 parcels. Cigars weighing more than three pounds per 1000. 6.103.G57.265. Cigars weighing not more than three pounds per 1000. 7C0.932.360. Cigarettes weighing not more than three pounds per 1000, 2.642,861,044. Cigarettes weighing more than three pounds per 1000, 8,656,853 Snuff, 17,671,136 pounds. Tobacco, chewing and smoking, 293.04S, S39 pounds. Oleomargarine, 123,133,853 pounds. The report shows that during the year revenue agents seized and destroyed 1021 illicit stills and arrested 1034 persons for violations of the revenue laws. During that time one agent was killed in a raid and two were wounded. One hundred and sixteen registered distilleries were report ed for seizure during the year, and 6S.117 gallons of spirits were reported for seiz ure, the total value of the property be ing 5152,194. ALL OFF AGAIN. (Concluded on Second ?age.) coal presidents who had signed the re quest to the President of the United States. They presented a protest against any adjustment being made at this time, insisting that the principles involved were so serious and affected so many interests that it was necessary now to have the commission hear all facts and pass its judgment upon the whole controversy. "Mr. Simpson, as chairman, read a paper expressing their views, and other gentlemen expressed decided opinions. "In the mIdstfcofthe conference the re quest came frbrrt vashlngton to the oper ators of both classes to meet Mr. Mitch ell and his associates next Friday morn ing at 10 o'clock. The parties present,1 without dissent. Instructed Mr. Baer to make the following answer: " 'The conditions are such that no sub stantial progress can be made by the sug gested meeting. The general judgment of the operators is that it will be best for the present to go on with the hearing. " Won Their Point. SCRANTON, Pa.. Nov. 25. The indepen dent operators' committee on their return from New York tonight were all gladness and smiles. "We have won our point." said Dr. J. N. Rice, of the Riverside Coal Companyi "We are ready to show to the public that we are paying all the wages our business warrants and that an agreement with John Mitchell's organization is undesir able because of its un-American ideas. The big companies have come to our way of thinking, and a settlement 'out of court is no longer a possibility." Other members of the committee spoke in a similar strain. COAL ROADS BACKED OCT. So Say the Miners' Representatives Not Afraid of Result. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25. President Mitchell, of the United Mineworkers of America, accompanied by his counsel. C. S. Darrow and H. D. Lloyd, arrived here from "Washington tonight. They will leave for Scranton tomorrow. Mr. Mitchell was questioned concerning the status of the settlement of the mineworkers strike. He said: "Counsel for the operators and some of the operators had laid before the presi dents of the railroad companies a tenta tive proposition which had been drafted jointly by the representatives of the rail road companies and counsel for the min ers. The railroad companies wired the strike commission that the general terms of the proposition were satisfactory, some of the minor details to be adjusted later. This message suggested that the commission adjourn until December 3, In order that these 'minor details' might be adjusted." Mr. Darrow here Interrupted by saying: "The initiative was taken by the' op erators." Mr. Mitchell declined to express af opinion regarding the attitude of the coal road presidents. Mr. Darrow, however, said: "They have gone squarely back on their word." Supplementing this, Mr. Lloyd said: "We have no knowledge of the cause of the action of the railroad presidents excepting that the announcement fol lowing the .conference between the inde pendent operators and the railroad presi dents." Mr. Mitchell was asked If he considered that the action of the coal-road presidents had weakened their case before the com mission. He "Bald: "I do not want to say what they have done, but I have no doubt that we will win our case." Mr. Lloyd interposed the following: "The commissioners know something now which they did not know before. They know the terms of the proposed settlement. They know the coal-road presidents proposed the settlement .and then backed out." REBELLION'S DEATHBLOW Castro Says It Was Delivered at La Victoria. CARACAS, Nov. 25 President Castro In an interview today said: "The revolution received its deathblow at La Victoria. In spite of superior num bers the. rebels were defeated and their principal leader was compelled to seek ref uge in a foreign land. The remnants of his forces under arms are unable to sup port each other and are being closely pur sued. I receive news dally of the dis integration of Matos' followers. "A campaign has been inaugurated against Barcelona and Cludad Bolivar by a strong and seasoned army, which assures its success. By the 1st of January I am confident I shall be able to officially pro claim peace. I cannot Imagine that Matos will continue the revolution. The support which lie had six months ago he cannot command today. "The government is resolved to execute in spirit and letter its directions contained in the proclamation of November 3, and to be liberal and magnanimous to Its op ponents, and the latter can have no rea son to refuse it their loyal assistance. The policy of the government is broad and its alms are prosperity and contentment. In "order to achieve these aims, the sup port of all citizens, whatever their political conduct or political views will be wel comed heartily as -being laborers for the nation's welfare. The government Ib dis posed to forget the past and look forward to the future, which is bright with promise of peace and national and individual bene fits and their accompaniments. "Following the declaration of peace the government will discharge Its just obli gations and Improve its condition and re organize the fiscal system of the country. Every effort will be made to attract for eign .capital, which is needed to exploit the rich agricultural, commercial and In dustrial resources of Venezuela. We trust the United States will participate in this exploitation. There will be. ample guar antees for the security of funds Invested. "Venezuela entertains cordial and sym pathetic friendship for the United States, and desires, the closest relations with the United States, which has already signally been opposed to the aggression of foreign powers. The government is confident that, convinced of the Justice of our causa, the United States will render Venezuela as sistance In her future difficulties. "Well supported and well applied, the Monroe doctrine Is of the greatest possible im portance and value. The motto of the United States should be accepted by the Pan-American nations, whlch should be bound In indissoluble ties of amity and friendship. Questions with European gov ernments can be settled amicably If they have the same desire for friendly relations. "We, the Venezuelan people, united Vene zuelan people, united, patriotic nnd cour ageous, form a force which will tenacious ly resist any attempt to Infringe our sov ereignty or invade our territory. rtWIth respect to Colombia, the Govern ment of Venezuela Is advised that there has been another invasion of our territory from that country, the seventh in three years. It Is our earnest desire to averi war with Colombia, and we are prepared to arrange for a oettlement when peace is declared and the courts resume their functions. "The government will not Interfere in the asphalt or other similar cases. They will be settled -in the light of the law and according to the facts. "Venezuela will participate in the St Louis Exposition." VORWAERTS AND KRTJPP. Paper Speaks FjrnnUIy of the Dead Cnnraakcr. BERLIN, Nov. 25. The Socialist organ, Vorwaerts, In a page and a "half, today deals with what It calls tho "hypocrisy of idealizing Herr Krupp as a benevolent genius." The paper does not touch on the immediate charges which It brought against the deceased, but analyzes the pension system of .the Krupp firm, which, it says. Is a "species of refined swindling," adding: "The enormous so-called benevolent funds have been built up by compulsory contributions from employes, who could be arbitrarily deprived of participation In the advantages. They are required to con tribute 2 per cent of their, wages for 20 years before they are eligible to a pension upon disability. In the meantime If an employe Is discharged or resigns he loses all he had contributed, often exceeding $250. Thus employes arc morally and eco nomically terrorized and must In human ity accept every petty regulation of the firm's officials or lose 2t per cent of what they have earned In the firm's service. This terrorism Is applied to' political opin ions where they become' known. The num ber of men leaving or discharged during the past three years averaged 7000 to 8000 yearly. The employes found the system so unsatisfactory that five great meetings were held this year for the purpose of seeking legal redress." Tho Vorwaerts cites an Instance of a labor representative on the advisory com mittee of pension fund who mildly criti cised the management, and who, several days later, having in the meantime paid his annual dues, was dismissed. -The paper also quotes the German budget committee proceeaings as showing that the Krupp works have been charging the navy $100 per .ton above what the United States pays for nickel steel plates, amounting yearly to $750,000 for Herr Krupp and the works. This has caused a furious political discussion, the Social ists calling attention to the degenerating Influence of great wealth and the Con servatives pointing out "the desperate character of the Socialist attack upon the existing order of society."

But even these, which have hitherto been regarded as the acme of cruelty, are exceeded by those in the Bulletin. I cannot believe that right-thinking Roumanians or the civilized powers can allow this condition of things to continue. It appears to be open defiance of law, Justice and common de cency."

Count and Countess Von Bulow will give Mr. and Mrs. Whfte a great offi cial dinner Saturday evening, and Monday Mr. and Mrs. White expect to leave Berlin for Italy. DEAN RIPON MAKES REPLY.
