A Years Operations of the National Treas
ury.

The June debt statement, issued July 1
closes the accounts of the government for
the fiscal year ended June 80. The de-
crease in the debt reported for the year is,
in round numbers, $65, 100000. Large as
this sum appears, it is far below that for
either OF the five preceding years, the aver
age for which was nearly SIG, 900, 900.
An examination OF the column OF interest
bearing debt shows that the reduction for
the past year was but $3O,4l2 $50, while
the reduction in the debt on which
interest has ceased was SIS, 100000. The
cash balance now held in excess OF that held
one year ago, added to the actual reduction,
makes the reduction reported in this state
ment. There has been no change in the fig
ures OF the bonded debt since November
last, no call for three per cent. bonds hav
ing been made since that date. When the last
call for bonds was made the treasury bal
ance was $144 100000.
The available balance on hand is the larg
est ever held by the treasury, compared
with Jan. l, 1879, when specie payment
was resumed. 1t shows an increase of $780,
900, OOO and thegold fund not covered by
outstanding certificates was then only
Sill 900, 900, whereas it now over $780,
100000. According to the new form Of
statement adopted by Treasurer Jourdan,
after deducting all outstanding liabilities,
500, 900 900 for reserve and $50, 100000
for unavailable assets" the net balance is
nearly SAL 100000.
During the year there has been q decrease
in the amount OF bonds held by the treasury
to redeem national bank notes of So, O0O,-
900, the amount now held for this purpose
being 1912, 600, 900. The aggregate receipts
for the twelve months show falling off Of
$26, OOO,O 900 compared with the preceding
twelve months, OF which loss SD, 600, 600
comes from customs and 50, 900, 900 from
internal revenue. The expenditures for the
year just closed also compare unfavorably
with those for the preceding year, being in
excess OF the latter SIS, 100000.

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS.
Minnesota State School for Indigent
Children.

The commissioners to locate state
school for INDECENT children have decided by
q practically unanimous vote upon Owa-
tonna as the location. Although Ovation
ma has been the successful town in the COM
petition, the commissioners have not de-
cided which OF the two sites offered by that
city is the most advantageous and avail
able for a location for the school. Site No.
l offered by Owatonna consists OF three ad-
joining tracts-the old Rawson place
eighty acres) and the Abbott and Fisher
tracts Cforty acres each), making one hun
dred and sixty acres in all. The site is To-
Gated about half q mile from the depot, on
the west side OF the city, commanding fine
| view OF the city and of the Straight river,
which runs by it. The old Rawson place
has upon it residence and barn. and the
Abbott place two residences. One OF the
houses is worth $1,000 and the other two
81 500 each.
Site No. 2 is on the east side OF the town,
and consists of155 acres including part
OF thefair grounds and all the fair buildings.
1t is within two blocks of the public high
school building, and the grounds of the Bap-
list academy adjoin it at the northwest
corner. Besides the fair grounds it en-
braces the Wilcox tract, seventy acres, the
Brennan tract forty acres, and the Aiken
tract, ten acres. The Winona & st. Peter
and Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
roads run along the northeastern corner OF
the grounds.
The commissioners are proceeding under
an act passed at last winters session ofthe
legislature, entitled "An act to establish a
state public school for dependent and in
digent children" and appropriating the
sum of $4,000 for that purpose. The
school is to be neither of the character of
an orphan asylum or of reform school.
The object of the institution is clearly set
forth in section ~ of the act, which is as
follows:
The object of this act is to provide for
such children a temporary home only in
the school until homes can be procured for
them in good families. The board OF di-
rectors is made the legal gardian of all chill
dren who shall become inmates of the school.
1t shall be the duty OF the board of direc-
tors to use special diligence in providing
suitable homes for such children, and it is
authorized to place them in such families,
on written contract, during minority, or
until eighteen years OF age, in the discretion
OF the board OF directors; providing for
their education in the public schools where
they may reside; for teaching them some
useful occupation; for kind and proper
treatment as members Of the family where
placed and for payment on the termina-
ton OF such contract to the board OF di-
rectors for the use of the child, any sum OF
money that may be provided for in said
instrument.
There were some twenty ballotings by
the committee before Owatonna was Sc
lected. Red Wing, Hastings, Pennington,
Albert Lea Mortified and other points,
made handsome tenders OF sites, etc, but
none quite SO generous as that OF Ovation
ma, which was accepted.

Eneot of Emperor Williams Death,

London Cable: The death OF Emperor
William promises to be the next great sem
sation in Europe. It's immediate political
effect will be to bind Germany and England
together in a very close union. The crown
princess OF England will be the empress of
Germany, and the coming emperoris known
as an affectionate friend of the prince OF
Wales and OF the queen. Nothing more OPP
perfume for the new Tory government of
England could possibly occur. 1t is ru-
mored that all this was counted upon in the
very highest circles OF the two realms before
Lord Salisbury finally consented to take
office, and that it very largely influenced
his decision. There are hints OF second
treaty of Windsor that had really more to
do with the change in the administration
than the vague and shadowy promises made
by Mr.. Gladstone. According to this story,
the Crown Princess Victoria assured her
mother that the death OF the emperor was
only question OF IL few years; that
upon the accession OF Frederick William
to the imperial throne OF Germany, the in
fluence of Prince Bismarck would cease to
be u predominant and disturbing element
in European politics, and that if England
would heartily support the colonizing enter
prises OF Germany, which are Frederick
Williams pet fads, there would be no oppo-
.stion to an Anglo-German alliance, as
against Russia in Afghanistan, France in
Egypt, and the foes or rivals OF England
everywhere. All this being represented
to Lord Salisbury, opened up to him
n prospect OF being able to straighten out
the foreign relations which had been
left in a seemingly hopeless tangle by Glad
stone, to safeguard the British empire in
India, to retain control OF Egypt, and gen
orally to restore the imperial prestige OF
England through the world. 1t was this
line OF argument, it is said, which not only
decided Lord Salisbury to accept the Office
of premier, but caused him to adopt the
unprecedented course OF combining with it
the office OF secretary OF state for foreign
affairs, SO as to keep the delicate negotia-
tions OF the next few weeks or months care
fully within his own control.

Minnesota Crop Prospects.

Reports from l 200 points in the north
west show that the condition of the crop in
Minnesota, taken as a whole, is not as ia
vorable as it was last year at this time
In the southern counties the ground was
dry at seeding in some places and very wet
in others, and the result is very uneven
and ragged crop. The weather has not
been favorable until during the past few
days and the plant is very thin and light.
In some places it is heading out foot high
and the yield will not be an average one.
Out of 40 reports received, covering SO
wheat growing counties, 243 says the out
look for a full crop is good, and 167
say the yield will be from half
to 80 per cent OF what it was last year.
From all reports received. detailed state
ment of which is gwen below, the present
condition OF the crop in the state does not
Justify the belief that more than 50 per
cent. of last years average yield will be
raised. While it is yet rather early to fig
ure the crop down to bushels. enough is
known upon'which to base reliable estimates
Of the probable yield, considering ofcourse,
favorable weather from this time till har-
vest. The total acreage of the state will
not exceed 2,515, 900 acres. The yield at
this time promises to be about thirteen
bushels per acre, which would give total
yield of 80, 695, 900 bushels.
