Washington, Aug. 15 The great
rush to take whiskey out of ' the bonded
warehouse "tmues, but it hasnot
embarrasses .; v internal revenue service
in the least, as extra gaugers were ar
ranged for in anticipation of the demand
for the withdrawal. The increased in
ternal revenue receipts from with
drawals are beginning to appear in the
daily treasury statements. To-day the
receipts from internal revenue sources
were 63tJ,l92f an increase of $300,000
oyer yesterday. For the next ten days
the receipts are expected to average
11,500,000 a day.
A gratifying increase .of . 15,000 in
gold was made by the Treasury Depart
ment to-day,) bringing up i the goi J re
serve to $52,779,000, a gain during the
past few day's of nearly $800,000. Ex
change is several points below the ship
ping tpoint and now thatj business , is
not subject to such wide fluctuations, it
is not considered likely that gold exports
will be resumed. The prediction is
freely made that Europe will be tsending
gold to this I country within the next
twenty days.i
The new tariff bill will go into effect
at midnight on the day it receives the
approval of the President or becomes
law by the operation of the ten days'
limitation, and not from August 1st, as
provided in the measure. An examina
tion of the authorities made at the Treas
ury Department shows that a law can
not take effect upon a date prior to its
enactment, and the Federal Supreme
court has sustained this view under the
exjiost facto provision of the Constitu
tion. Ihis is the view of the Treasury
Department, and the announcement is
made because i of the flood of telegrams
received there! indicating some confusion
upon the point. I

refer the Free Sugar and other bills to
the Committee on Finance. Senator
Vest said that he had not! the slighest
doubt that if the bill was referred to the
committee of which he waV acting as
temporary chairman that it would mean
the death of the bill. It was well known
that the committee was now politically
a tie, and with the prospect of the disap

nothing could be done with the bills at
this se?3ion. lie referred indignantly to
Mr. Cleveland's letter in support of the
House bill and ranged alongside of it the
letter of Secretary Carlisle presented to
day which, he ;declared, proyed con
clusively that the House bill would, if
enacted - have caused a deficiency"
of $30,000,000. ! The latter, he said
with great display of feeling, vindicated
the position of the Senate. He denounced
the self constituted critics of the press
and the demagogues who had sought to
pull down men in high places, who had
a?sailed the Senate and the Senate bill.

THE GOODMAN TRIAL.
Strong
Trie
Evidence for the Defence
Evidence Closed Specu
lation Rife as to the
Verdict.
Eichmosd, Va., Aug. 15. A special
from Covington says: If the clouds about
Goodman were a bit dark yesterday, they
brightened this morning, and he and
his wife must have been proud of the
array of testimony to his high character
for truth and " veracity. Rev. Dr.
Hatcher, Capt. Hulce and Sergt. Eppes,
of Richmond, Va,, and C. C. Walker,
M. JL. Akers and other Chesapeake and
Ohio people, including engineers and
brakemen runnine with Goodman, Hon.
I. F.. Withrow, citizens along the line of
Goodman's run, and many others, enthu
siastically testified that Goodman's char
acter for truth and veracity was high
and that they would believe him on oath,
whether interested or not.
The prosecution got decidedly set back
when Engineer George E. Fisher was on
the8tand. Mr. Craig asked if Bryant's
character for truth and veracity was
good. The witness had heard not. He
had heard Baggagemaster Gunter say
to-day he would not believe Bryan on
oath. Bryant is the witness who testi
fied that Goodman said of Parsons: "I
collared him and gave him all I had."
This caused a sensation in court.
Train Dispatcher Cooper testified that
he was present, and was satisfied Good
man did not say this to Bryant.
The station agent at Springwood testi
fied that Mrs. Staples once came to the
c tation and asked if Goodman was
aboard, and after seeing he was, boarded
Goodman's train. ;
The Misses Parsons are here and will
probably go on the stand for the prosecution.
This afternoon the evidence was con
cluded, and to-morrow the argument
will begin. The case will probably be
submitted to the iury Friday afternoon.
A verdict may, therefore, be expected by
the end of the week, but what will that
verdict be? This question is now on
every lip in Covington, and speculation
is rue as to the result, i
The friends of Capt. Goodman feel that
hi defence has been made strong and
sufficient, and expect either a verdict of
acquittal or a hung jury. '
The prosecution, on the other hand,
express the belief that they have made a
strong case of murder in the first degree
and look for such a finding.
The consensus of opinion, howeyer,
among those who have heard the testi
mony and who are not interested on
either side is that there will either be a
hung jury or a very light sentence.

and in response I have the honor to say
that according to the most careful esti

observed, much less than is stated in the

close of the fiscal yearr and it is., esti
mated by the commissioner of internal
revenue that, by reason of the large
stock on hand, the receipts from tax on
playing cards will not amount to more
than $1,000,000 during the year, The
estimated increase of receipts on account
of the additional tax on distilled spirits
during the present year ha3 already been
prevented to a great extent by the with
drawal of laige quantities of goods from
the bonded warehouses and the payment
of the tax thereon at 90 cents, and this
process is still goipg on.' j
The total exptnditures during the
current fiscal year will be as follows:
Civil and miscellaneous, including de
ficiencies in postal revenues, $90,000,000;
war, including rivers and harbors. $56.
000,000; navy, including new vessels and
armament $33,000,0011; Indians, $10,000,

$30,500,000; total, $363,000,000; an esti
mated surplus, $io,uuu,uuu. j
The duty on sugar proposed m the
present bill, according to importations of
that article during tne nscai year lsad.
yield an annual revenue of $43,478,958,
and the duties on tne otner articles men
tioned in' vour' communication would
vieid. under that bill, about $1,000,000,
that is to say, iron ore $a7U,au; coai
$436,149 and barbed wire, fencing wire
and wire rods of iron or steel, when im
ported for the manufacture of barbed
wire fencing, about $300,000. Jt will be
seen, therefore, that if sugar alone is
Dlaced upon the free : list, the expendi
tures during the present fiscal year will
exceed the receipts to the amount of $28,

HOUSE OF representatives, j
The first item of business in the House
to-day after the reading of the journal
was the announcement by the Speaker
that the .Committee on Enrolled Bills had
reported that the amended Tariff bill had
been properly enrolled and ! that it had
beon signed by the Speaker, j j !
Several private measures were passed
and half a dozen indefinite leaves of ab
sence were granted to members, all on
account of "Bickness in the family." I
Mr. Black, Democrat, of Illinois,
asked unanimous consent for the con
sideration of the following resolution:
Whereas, The balance of available
gold in the United States treasury on
August 1, 1694, had been reduced, de
spite the sale of fifty millions of gold
bonds, to the sum of $54,975,607; and,!
Whereas, The demands for gold on
the treasury made for shipment to for
eign ports continues and increases; and,
Whereas, The reports from the treas
ury show that during the month of July
not a dollar in gold was added to the
treasury stock from the port of New
York, the largest .customs port in the
United States: and, j i
Whereas, It is a matter of common
knowledge that gold coin and gold certi
ficates have virtually ceased to be used in
discharging obligations to the Govern
ment, but that the obligations to the
Government are discharged in silver cer
tificates, United States notes and United
States treasury notes, which are so used -as
to deplete the treasury of gold faster I
than it accumulates from all Bources, in- i
eluding customs, internal revenue-and
sales of bonds; and f j
Whereas, There is in the treasury,
unused and available," an amount of
silver equal to $513,880,682 in American
standard coin and value, and j s 'j
Whereas, The income of the United
States does not now equal its expendi
tures, therefore, be it t . p . j
Resolved, That the Committee on Coin
age, Weights and Measures be directed
to at once report to the House for its
consideration a bill providing for the
proper use and avail of the said silver.
. Another resolution provided for the
consideration jof and a vote, upon the
bill under an order to be reported by the
Committee on Rules. j - - !
Various gentlemen made objection and
the document went to the box for refer
nce. -' j' , , . j
Mr. Talbert, Democrat, of South Caro
lina, also had - a resolution which be
wanted the House to ! consider, but ob
jection was made." It was aa follows: i
Whereas, The Tariff : bill has been
passed by the House reducing the duty
and cheapening the necessaries of life;
and ; j
Whereas, By separate acts, coal, iron
ore, barbed wire, sugar and molasses
have been put tlpon the free list; and
Whereas, Without further legislation,
the masses of the people will j be very
little better off than before; therefore
be it.' h -: U ; i
Mesotved, That it is the sense of the
.House of Representatives that the peo
pie 8 money should be restored to its
original status by the remonetization of
silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, followed by
some financial legislation increasing-the
circulating medium of the i country so
that the people may be able to purchase

The Farmers' Alliance leaders claim
that it will now grow in numbers, though
it will never again reach the 100,006
figure, which they regard as an abnor
mal growth. They also claim that it is
yearly getting more out of politics. Popf
ulists, according j to what the leaders
say, have left it in considerable numbers
because they thought it had done its pof
litical work, in putting the Third partj
on its feet, j; It appears that a good many
thought this was the sole mission of the
Alliance, because the leaders applied
themselves so earnestly to the work ot
creating and developing, the Populisi
party. They now claim that it will pay
attention to agricultural matters. j
