JaCksoxville, Fla., July 8. The re port of the internal revenue depart ment for the district of Florida for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1895, shows a considerable gain over the pre vious year's collections. Ths report shows that the collections amounted to 8470,000, while in the previous year only 8416,000 was collected, showing an in crease of 854,000. For the same period the increase in the sale of cigar stamps amounted to 851,000. The total number of cigar and ciga rette factories in the district is 410, an increase of 45. A large number of fac tories have moved from one place to another in the state, but nearly all of the new factories have come here from New York, Philadelphia and other j points. The cigar business at Tampa I amounts to nearly three-fifths of that ; of the entire district and the estimate ! for the coming year is one hundred ' million cigars for Tampa alone. The : income to the government will be about 825,000 worth of stamps per month. The estimated receipts for the coming ' year amount to 8500,000, and the cost of : collection, including salaries and rent, i is estimated at 815,830. The cost of ; the collection is about one-fourth as much in proportion as that of any other southern state. THE EXPOSITION AGO!

In a letter to the tax collector at Dallas he says : " "While the act of 1889 provides for an occupation tax of WOO for every fight between man aud man, the legis lature of this state, has by subsequent enactment made it unlawful for any person to voluntarily engage in a pugi listic encounter for money, or upon the result of which any money is wagered,' or to see which amy admission fee 'is charged. That the effect of said act was to repeal so much of the act of 1889 permitted an occupation tax to be charged for fights between man and man, has been decided by our court of criminal appeal. You are, therefore,' respectfully advised that this depaftr ment will not attempt to legalize the proposed pugilistic encounter in this state by the issuance of a license." -' ' 1 In so much as the 8500 . tax has been paid and receipted for, it is a question how it will end.
