THE NATIONAL DEBT.
JoRDAN's RULING.
The Result of the rlns.hulrod Schemes In
troducsd by the Great Reform Admins.
trauon-FAvOrs shown to American
Vessels to be RocIprOoatod.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.-Treasurer Jor.
dan has made ruling in reference to the
computation OF the public debt which will
overturn all previous calculations as to
the time in which it would be paid. He
has set aside certain certificates, for which
the Treasury has money already in hand
as not being part Of the Governments
liabilities. The law requires that l per-
cent shall be set aside each year, and as
this has been decreased Mr.. Jordan..s rul-
ing neCossitates an extension Of time in
which the debt would be paid, as COM
puted by his predecessors, and the Repub-
lican Administrations calculated that the
debt would be extinguislled in 1906.
II is now certain that the debt will run
beyond that date. A high official in the
Treasury said to-day that it was an inter
ebting fact to note that no bond call had
yet been issued by the present admins.
tralion, and that none would be issued
unless Congress granted some relief on the
silver question. He pointed out the fact
that during President Arthur's adminis-
tration the law required a reduction OF
about $l75, 100000. The total reduction
during his administration, however, had
been $l74, 4,0S3, ,OG2 50. 1t is estimated that
by Treasurer Jordau's ruling a difference
OF about s., 900, 900 in the public debt will
be made this year.

How Wise the British Were |,

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 12.-Undoubtedly il
was the steamer British Queen, and not
the queen, which Phelan and Kearney
intended to blow up with dynamitc.
Several barrels purporting TO c0ntain
cement were on board the British Queen
in January, 1883, and were found TO con
tain internal machines.
Richard Short, who made the attack
on Phelau, was suspected cy the Irish
with the Cork dynamite conspiracy.
When Featherstone was arrested, in
March, 1888, Shorts house was searched.
Short thereupon went to America.
LIVERPOOL, Jan. l2.-Otlicers of the
National Steamship company state that
Phelan's story about dynamite sent tn
England on the Queen, is an invention,
pure and simple. No dynamite was
over found on the steamer.
LONDON, Jan. l2.-Semi official adj
vices from Paris, state that a serious
revolt, headed by a brother of the king,
has occurred in Cembadia. The rev
olutionists have obtained com
plete possession of number
of French posts and murdered he gar
rison. 1t IS suspected that Chinese in
trique is at the bottom of the uprising,
and general massacre of the French u
feared. The king has telegraphed MA
he is powerless to resist the rsvo'u
tionists. A large body of French troops
has been ordered to proceed tS Cambo-
dia and punish offenders.

Mr.. Luvois is the proprietor of small
business establishment at Eagle Ford
and is also the postmaster at that point
On Wednesday evening Last a young
man by the name of George Gardenhire
visited his place of business and, under
the pretense of desiring to make pur-
chase, called for dozen cigars. As
Luvofs turned his back to secure the
weed desired, Gardenhire drew re-
volver from one of his pockets and
leveled 1t on the unsuspeot-
ing tradesman. Luvois naturally
exhibited surprise and anxiety, and
Gardenhire replied that he was In quest
OF "filthy lucre,' and would submit to
no hardness. At this juncture Mrs.
Luvois put in an appearance, and was
requested by her liege lord to bring for
ward from her bedroom all the ready
cash Of which the firm boasted. Fifteen
dollars was the amount, which was
hRpded over to the robber. Tho latter

"omciar from the Mormon Leaders.

SALT LAKE, Jan. l2.-The following is
official from the leaders OF the Mormon
church: The recent visit Of
prominent Mormons to Sonora
was tor missionary purposes, the on y
object being to introduce the Book of
Mormon recently translated into the
Spanish language, the Yuakuts tribe OF
Indians and send missionaries who
would instruct them in the arts OF
peace and civilization, as has been sue
cessfully done elsewhere by them.
The Mexican authorities on the
boundary line have full cognizauce, of
the purposes of the Mormon missionaries
and were anxious to have them carry
out the intentions from their previousi v
known success in that direction, giving
full support thereto; The Mormons
only leave it as forced ny the lack of
room to settle in the states and territ tories
adjoining. The missionaries did not see
Chief Cajeme, and the whole story of
treaty. defensive and offensive, or of
colonization, is entirely false.

DOUBLE HEADERS DON'T GO.
FIT WAYNE, IND, Jan. l3.-rhe Pitts
burg, TT. Wayne u Chicago Railroad
company, few days since, iuaugurated
system OF sending out their freight
trains; that is, attaching two locon,o-
tives to double the usual number of cars
of each train and sending the
train under the charge OF
one conductor and three brakemen, thus
dispensing with the services of one con-
ductor aud one brakeman to each
double header. About fifty brakemen
were discharged and several conductors
reduced to the rank of brakemen. About
o'clock this afternoon a large number
of men collected at the depot aud
boarded freight train No. 70, west-hound,
double-headtr, pulled the coupling
pins and refused to allow the men in
charge of the train to replace the coup
lings. The train was recoupled, now
ever, and allowed to go to the Junction
of the Grand Rapids d Indiana
and the Pittsburg road,
mile from the city, where
the pins were again pulled and thrown
into the river. The train was left stand
ing on tho main track, where it now
stands. The second section of train
No. 10 was treated in a like manner and
stands Just behind the FIRST section.
The fires were raked from the
engines attached to both trains
by the strikers and they
refused to allow men under the super
vision of the company's officers to do
anything toward getting the trains in
motion. All freight trains OF the Pitts
burg road aud the Grand Rapids * In-
diana have been spiked down and the
strikers put to guard them. Train No.
a, east und, from Chicago,
was stopped by the strikers
at Pierceton, about twenty mites
west OF here, this evening, and the pins
pulled and the train side-tracked. Supt
Tow Is expected here tonight from Chi
cago. The strikers will submit their
grievance to him Tomorrow at o a. M,

taken. The strikers appear quiet but
