Mr. Goeoheia eetimated the revenue for the coming year would amount to £90,400,000 and the expenditures to 288,440,000. The expenditures on account of the poet -office exceeded the estimates by £200000, of whioh sura the most wee due to increase in wage° paid to post -office em- ployeee.

To -day A.asistant &mastery Spalding made a ruling which, if not entirely preventing the admission of tickets, will at least coat their pur- Omens nearly double and at the same time materially increase the Government's revenues. He has deoided that there is no law to prevent lottery tickets from being admitted es printed matter, but be instructs the Customs officers to assess duty upon them at the rate of 25 per cent. ad valorem of their face value, under para- graph 423, sobedule M. of the McKinley Bill, which provides for that rate of duty upon " all printed matter not Specially -provided tor." Tickets of the value of $10 under thie decision will have to pay $2.50 Customs duty. This high rate of auty will, it is thought, practically prohibit their importation. Being debarred from the United States mail and from express companies and transportation lines the lottery comperties will find it difficult to dispose of their wares in the UnitedSbatse. State°.
