Large Reduction in the Public Debt.
The receipts from customs and internal rev.
enue thus far received for the current month
indicate that the reduction in the public debt
for August will be unusually large. The total
receipts for the month will probably reacn
$40 100000, while the expenditures, lnciuding
interest on INC puuiio uopo Inu TTe,2
OCO for invalid pensions will not, it is believed,
exceed $40, 100000. The disbursement on ac-
count of interest on the debt will, OF course,
depend in a great measure upon the amount OF
called per cent bonds presented for payment
under the two last calls. From present lndl-
cations it is believed that the debt statement
to be issued on Sept. LIST will show reductlon
in the public debt for August of about $l1,-
100000.

Short Time in the Cotton Mills at Pres

which was submitted to the Gar not long be-
fore his fathers death, frankly admits that all
Russia is dissatisfied with the present state Of
affairs. 1t advocates some kind of popular ad
ministration, and has apparently been pub
lished in order to acquaint the world with
what theCzar might do if the Nihilists allowed
