THE PUBLIC DEBT REDUCTION.
lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE. I


WAsHTNGTON. July 2.-Ihe statement telegraphed
to The TPIBUNE on Wednesday night that the state
ment of the Treasurer when published would proc
ably show reduction of the public debt amountin
to $2,000,000 was based upon a
conversation with Mr.. Mcclellan, chief
of the Warrant Division. in which he mentioned
500, 100000 as the approximate reduction. The
debt statement places it at $10,214,424 81,
but that is only the apparent not the
real, reduction. More than year
ago Congress authorized the appropriation
of the money held for the redemption of fraction al
currency to the payment of pension ar
rears. This was done, but the transaction
only makes its appearance in the debt
statement issued yesterday. The amount is
$S,375, 1874. IL is in no sense reduc-
ton of the debt. but simply an
assumption that so much of the debt will never be
presented for settlement. The actual reduction is
81 ,S3S. 400 81.

| THE NEW STATE SERVICE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE,
CoNsIs TING OF OVER FIVE HUNDRED PIECES
ITS HISTORY AND DESIGNS
lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRTBUSE.l
WAsHINGToN, July 2-Theodore r. Davis. the
wc-known artist, delivered at the White House
tonight the famous new state dinner service for
which he was commissioned to draw the Designs
and which Haviland & Co., at Limoges, have
been year in completing from his designs. The
service consists of more than 800 pieces, which
cost the manufacturers $4,000 to make but it
costs the White House a very incOnsiderable pOr-
tion of that sum. The entire work Is
essentially an American production, as Havi-
land himself iS a Pennsylvania Quaker who
settled at Limoges because he found finer quality
Of clay there. Each of these 800 pieces is a work
of art representing in great variety the different
flora and fauna and the natural scenery of America
In the Spring of 1879 an order was given to
Havland & Co. TO furnish the Executive Mansion
at Washington with a dinner service, which, as it
was to be used only for state occasions, the Presi
dents wife desired should combine elegance and
appropriate American decoration. The time specified
for the completion of the set was limited. and the
obstacles TO be overcome unprecedented and its
cessful production would involve innumerabe trials
Of colors; added to this, no European artist was
known who was conversant with n wide range of
American subjects and their appropriate use for
the decoration of porcelain.
Mr.. Theodore Haviland requested the aid of his
friend Theodore Il. Davis. who undertook the in
vention of shapes and the production of water
color studies which Haviland & Co. have reproduced
in china. Mr. Davis possessed the artistic skill and
n knowledge as essential il remarkable |
Professional duty and a love of adventure had led
him to study the native flora and fauna in every |
part of the country. The designs were made |
in water color, and although in nearly |
sinking, they difficult to reproduce perfectly
npon porcelain with hard mineral color: and to |
successfully accomplish this it was necessary to in
vent new methods and to have recourse to peculiar
mechanical appliances.

THE WORK OF COUNTERFEITERs.

! A TALK WITH THE CHIEF OF THE SECRET SERVICE
-THE COUNTERFEIT 500 NOTES NOR THE
WORK OF ULIICH.
| lFROM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON. July 1.-8lr Brooks, Chief of the
| Secret Service Division of the Treasury Depart
IDent, gave to a TRIBUNE correspondent yesterday
some interesting facts relating to the operations of
counterfelters. Speaking Of the comparatively re-
cent 800 counterfeit notes, Mr. Brooks said: The
work on these notes is so good that many bankers
and experts when shown two notes. one genuine
and the other counterfeit, have declared that the
! genuine counterfeit, and the counterfeit gen.
| uine. The first 800 dollar counterfeit note was
detected about fifteen months ago. Since then we
have been on the alert to discover tho source of
these notes. The search is an exceedingly difficult
one. for several reasons. We will hear Of one of
the notes. say in Iowa or Texas The next one that
turns up may be in Maine or Oregon. Then when
we begin to trace the hands through which note
has passed we very soon bring up in a bank, whose
officers will say that they paid out the note, but
cannot say from whom they received it, and so we
fail There six Of these 800 counterfeits, all
printed from the same plates. Only one Of them is
fibre paper. That is O rather poor imitation Of
the distinctive paper that was used for National
bank notes some years ago. 1t can be detected by
trying TO dig out the fibre with the point OF needle
In the genuine paper the fibre is tough and can
be pulled ont without breaking In the counter
felt it is very tender or rotten, and breaks very
easily"
1t has been asserted that the noted counterfeiter
Ulrich engraved the plate for the 800 counter
feit," remarked the correspondent.
" 1t is better work than Charley Ulrich can do"
replied Mr.. Brooks decisively. Besides know
that he has had opportunity to engrave plate.
He is honestly at work in Trenton N. j.. and earn
ing good deal Of money. He knows perfectly well
that if he to leave Trenton without my knowl-
edge. he would be subject to arrest and conviction
As long as he keeps straight he is safe | think it
may take long time to capture the 800 plate and
arrest the counterfeers but will be done at last
for there is no honor among thieves"
At this point in the conversation a telegram was
handed TO Mr.. Brooks announcing the arrest in
Pennsylvania to-day of seven cOunterfelters.
" That is very good" said Mr.. Brooks but then
it is easy enough TO catch those fellows They are
coin cOunterfciters"
I" The reason you hear so much about this 800 |
counterfeit" continued Mr. Brooks, is because il
it is of such large denomination. But the chief |
loss TO the people has been caused by counterfets of
the So and $40 notes. The loss in each case was |
small, and so not much was said about IT, Within |
the last four years have captured not less than
ten of these small cOunterfeits and there is not |
single one now out in tho hands Of the makers so |
far as we know. / should not be greatly surprised |
however. by the appearance of new $3 counter
