INLAND REVENUE REPOR T.
Details of the InspectIon-Inerease
in Reeeipts.
An Ottawa despatch says: The:
annual report of the Inland Revenue •
Department was Issued on Wednestley .
and contains the details with regard !
to the inspection of weights and;
measures and gas and electric: light!
The total revenue collected during ;
the year for the inspection of weighttt!
and measures was $64,327 ittt com-;
pated with 962,037. The total expen-
diture was 987,507, as against 976-
418. The total revenue ft•om gas in-
spection ;during the year ending June!
130, 1.903, was 8135,159, as compared ,
with $24,221, The expenditure to -
trilled S25,566, as compared with ;
924,066. The net revenue derived;
;from the inspection of electric light ;
was $12,434. Since the year 1897
1 the two services of gas and electric!
;light inspection, which are conducted •
!largely by the same staff of officers, ;
have reached that point at which !
they have ceased to be a burden 119-1
on the general taxpayer. Since that
time there has been a constant in-;
crease of revenue over expenses.
In 1898-1899 the revenue was San,'
015, compared with the expenditure
of 923,486, which was exclusive of
the cost of standerd instruments. Tn
1902-1903 the revenue was 940,054,
compared with an expenditure of •
$36,006.
The weights and measures inspee-,
tion earns about three-fourths of
its annual cost, but the report states
that the appointment of a chief in-'
Spector with many years of experi-I
ence will soon bring this branch in-
to a greater state of efficiency.

Dr. Bryce on the Alarrhing Spread

A Toronto despatch says: Dr.

The returns for 00100e1' show that in
52 municipalities there were 46 1 cas-

November indicate that the preseuce,
of diphtheria continues.
Speaking for Toronto, Tr, Bryce

reported, which increased in Oet ober
to 118 eases with 14 deaths. Out

tals, These are an importunt factor
he thinks in chocking disoase and
lowering the death rate, and ho
learns with satisfaction that the now
addition to the Isolntion Hospital
will soon be completed,
In Ottewa there wore 319 cases and
19 deaths and 57.0 per cent, were

between it freight and a WOrk train

bank at the side of the track lie

identified, the remaining being 011 -
recognizable.
All the dead and 111001 of the in-
jured were members of the work
train, the crews of both engines
Peopieg in straw to save their lives.
The collision occurred in a deep cut,
at the beginning of a. sharp curve,
neither train being visible to the
crew of the other until they were
within .50 feet of each other. The
engineers set the brakes, sounded the
whistle, and leaped from thole cabs,
the two trains striking with suet
force that the sound was heard for
miles. A second after the collission
the boiler of the work train engine
exploded, throwing heavy it•on bars
and splinters of wood 200 feet.
Conductor John W. .Itulge, of In-
dianapolis, who had charge of the
freight train, received orders at Ur-
bana to wait at Mackinaw for the
work train, which was duo there at
2.40 p.m. Insteed of doing this he
failed to stop. Tile eoginver of the
work train, George Becker, lied also '
