An APPARENT DECREASE OF OVER @1i,OQO,OOO-
TIE EXPLANATION.


icy TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNg.l
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The apparent reduc-
ton OF the public debt for the month of March is greater
than during any previous month since April 1872 From
June 1869 until October. 1872 the reduction
ranged from about ten millions and quar-
ter TO twenty millions and quarter per month.
Since the latter date no very heavy reduction
has taken place in any month AcOmparison Of the
debt statement for March with that for February shows
that the largest reduction in that portion Of the debt
bearing per cent interest the principal OF 1t being on
the LIST OF April $9553 800 less than on the Is OF
March This has been caused by q withdrawal
of per cent bonds whose place has been supplied by
the issue of Az per cent bonds The amount OF the lat
ter bonds outstanding the beginning OF the present
month is no greater than IL on the first OF Marcn
and this Is explained by the fact that @3OOOOOOO Oh

rier between this place ana Dodge. was
stopped by foOtman who placed o six
shooter to his head and directed him to
follow his orders under penalty Of death.
Hoag had arrived within seven miles OF
Dodge. and his captOr compelled hum to
turn about and carry him five miles in a
southeasterly direction to cattle camp
on Spring creek. Here the fellow stopped
and procured a horse of man he seemed
to know: and after swearing Hoag to &C.
crecy. allowed him to depart. He told
Hoag that officers were in pursuit of him
and that his horse had been shot from
under him A lady passenger was with
Hoag. and upon ar living in Dodge she in
formed the officers Of the occurance. but
pursuit was not made. The bold fellow
had broken one of the city's ordinances
and when the officers undertook to arrest
him sprang on his horse and EXCHANGED
shots as he fed. Hoag sticks to his prom
Use and declines to reveal the name Of the
scOundrel Hays Sentinel,
The man who made this bold play was
Mr.. Jackson. Of whom we spoke last
week. ana the lady passenger was Mrs.
Brown, of this city.
