THE PUBLIC DEBT.

Items From the Monthly Treasury State
ment-The Revenue Receipts (Onsidera-
bly, Below the Estimates.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2.--The re-
iuction in the public debt during the
month of May, according to the revised
form of statement, amounted to IS, $780,
s33. The total debt yesterday, less cash
in the Treasury, is 81 ,494, 39l oil, of
which 81 ,2GO, IA, 1872 is interest bearing.
The Treasury now holds balance of
Sis, $40, 553 in gold coin and bullion and
$50, PSI, SIP in silver, against SllS,000, 00e
gold and S54, 100000 silver on May LIST.
The Treasury has now $50, 095, 02l,
against S23, 957, 42l reported month ago.
Customs receipts for May SI4, 312, 773, or
nearly as much as in May yeSr ago.
Internal revenue receipts SI2, 1850, GG1,
falling off of nearly 100000 compared
with last year. Altogether the receipts
from all sources for the eleven months
Of the current year aggregate 1926, 1885,
100, which is about S26, 200, 900 less
than for the corresponding eleven months
of the last fiscal year.
Indications now point to a total reve-
nue. during the present fiscal year of
S3IS, 000,0 900 ora $500, 900, 00C, which
would be $4,000, 900 or l2,OO6, 900 less
than Secretary McCulloch's estimates
sent to Congress last December. Mr..
McCuilOch estimates a revenue of $751;
300, 600 from customs; Sis, 900, 900 from
internal revenue, and $50, 900, 600 from
sources. 1t now looks as
though customs receipts for the yeartwill
reach about SlS0,000, 900; internal rev.
enue about SIP, 0O0,0 900, and miscel-
Igueous receipts about S27, 00O.0 900.

The Remains of the Eminent Frenchman

Crush of Spectators.
PARIS, June 1.-The streets in the
vicinity of the Arc De TriOmphe, where
Victor Hugo's body lies, were thronged
all night. After midnight rain fell, but
this did not apparently diminish the
crowd. Toward morning a great deal of
revelry WAS INDUCED in, men and women
singing on the pavementS in all direc-
tons. Good humor prevailed, and police
interference went no further than occa-
sional warnings to some knots of rOys-
Lerers who were a little noisy. Shortly
before ten this morning prominent per-
sons directly connected with the cere-
monies OF the day began to arrive. Pre-
Fious to movement of the procession,
speeches were made. These were inter
rupted by voices from the crowd, but the
Interruptions were few and of a charsc-
ter not calculated to excite the passion
Of Anarchists present. At II 20 pre-
cisely the procession started for the
Pantheon. The day is warm, the sun
shining brilliant. AS the cortege moves
the thron9 falls into line without demon
stration and everything thus far is quiet
aud orderly.
NoOH.-Just before the procession left
the Arc de TriOmphe a few persons who
attempted to carry red flags were arrest
ed. This was done So quietly by the po-
ice that the incident was not noticed by
most of those present. Up to this hour
40 disturbance has occurred.
The funeral procession, owing to the
almost unprecedented throng which
lined the streets, moved slowly. The
;atafalque bearing the remains arrived
1t the Pantheon at two O'Clock, and
the ceremonies were begun a. once.
They proceeded without interruption.
The dense mass of people in the Pan
theon listened to the addresses with
respectful attention, and order was
maintained without any effort on the
part of the authorities. The ceremo-
MES were concluded at three O'Clock. 4
large number of persons are reported to
have been severely hurt during the prog !
ress of the funeral. At many points
on the route spectators became panic |
stricken at the fearful crush, and in |
their efforts 10 free themselves many |
women and children were injured.

WEDDING OUT.

Heads of Departments In Washington Pre-.
pairing to Make Changes In the Person-
mel of Their Clerical Force-A Wholesale
Exodus From the Pension Department
Impending.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June Most of
the Cabinet officers have already asked
the heads of bureaus in their respective
departments for confidential communica-
tions made up of lists of clerks whose
services can be dispensed with, or whose
places can be filed by civil service ap-
pointmcnts with advantage to the Gov
ment. These lists, no DOUBT,
will be ready for use ne1s
month, and beside the bare mention Of
names, will contain what is known abou>
the clerical fitness, offensive partisan
ship, offensive habits and manners Of
each individual mentioned. The pur-
pose, evidently, is to use this in
formation in making removals from
civil service classes, in order
to open the way for new
appointments through the Civil Service
Commissioners. A member of the Cabinet
is reported as saving that he expects to
dismiss one quarter of his force of clerks
this summer, but that none would be dis
missed who did not deserve It, and that
be meant TO rely upon republican testi-
nony mainly in making up his mind who
should go.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June at Ia
said that upwards of two hundred
clerks are to be dismissed from the
Pension Office, and that the list of
names of those who are to be invited to
step out is nearly completed. The last
pension appropriation bill contains q
clause which will reduce the force for
the next fiscal year about one hundred
and fifty men Whether the two
hundred mentioned as being booked
Tor dismissal are in addition
to the 150 which will have to go under
the terms of the pension appropriation
bill, can not be officially ascertained as
yet. Officers of the department admit
that large number of changes are to be
made. and do not deny that the lists are
nearly completed, but they evade answer
ing direct questions by saying that the
matter will be made public at the proper
time.
