Inc V0ndlsl0n l01 the National Finances
Washington Special: The April state
mont shows that the reduction III the. debt,
Tor the month was SO, 965. 388. and for
the ten months. $S7, 971, Cos, against $50,
O75, 129 for the correspo ding ten months
OF the preceeding fiscal year. Should the
average 81 the past ten months b reached
ior May and juno. tho fiscal year win close
showing q reduction Of about $1O6, 600, :.
IN April the bonded debt dsereas-
ed sic, 3l5,7OO, and since July
i, $50, 4OS. TOO, representing 81,
annual saving in interest Of SOL ,261. The
difference between the reduction in tho
bonded debt and that reported BY the
treasurer is made up by reduction IN out
standing certificates and other non-inter.
est bearing obligations. Since April l there
has been q decrease in outstanding gold
certificates of Sc, O6O,4ls, and an increase
in silver certificates of $61O,72O. The
amount OF the former now outstanding is
$o4, ,225, and Of the latter $50. 723,-
14l. On July there were outstanding in
gold certificates 1926, 729, 100, and in silver
certificates $101 $50, 946. a net reduction
in these certificates of about $54, OOO, 900
in the past ten months. The gold fund
has lost since April 1 about 81, 100000
in Bullion which was undoubtedly with
drawn for export. The coin held, however,
increased So, 434, 1873, thus making the net
loss in this fund $1,574, 634. The gold
net covered by certiicatesi is now $155, $685.
3O8, q gain of $4,485,784 for the
month. The standard silver, dollars
held number ITS, 92S,5O an Increase OF
about 81, 1926, 900 since April l. Deduct
Ing outstanding silver certificates, the
number OF silver dollars on hand $50, 1884,
141, a net increase for the month of $685.
900. The amount of United States notes
held is over $26, 200, 900, and the amount
held on deposit by designated repositories
about SIS, 500, 600, loss in these two
items since April of about 81 ,OOO, 900.
In fractional silver and minor coin there
has been no material change, the amount
OF this fund remaining at $29,360,875, an
increase OF only $4,000. The avail
able cash balance ia reported as being
1000, 999, an advance over April Of
81, 649, 9OO.s This increase in the cash is
exceptional, considering that nearly ST.
O0O, 1000 were disbursed for interest last
month. Under the old form of stating the
assets and liabilities, the available cash
balance would be $213, 400, 1853. The re-
ceipts for April show net increase over
those of April, 1885, OF about $500, OcO.
Excluding the miscellaneous receipts, the
increase is over $1,6OO,0OO, nearly all of
which came from customs. There was q
decrease in expenditures in favor OF last
month amounting to IS, $50, 900.

ing the monthly financial circular OF Henry
CLOVIS and Co.. in which the statement was
made that the knights OF Labor were the
Same as the anarchists. Mr.. Powderly is
rather severe on grain gamblers and dealers
in margins and declares alphabetically:
The knights OF Labor have no sympathy
whatever with the anarchists. Such men
as Herr Most and August Spies condemn
the Knights because they are too conserva-
tive, ileJay Gould and Henry Clews de-
nounce the order because its members will
not submit quietly to every injustice or
imposition that may be practiced on
them.

Trade Affected BY Strikes.

Bradstreet's journal of Saturday the Stl
inst says: The general trade situation is
less favorable than a. week ago. This is
due mainly to the partial paralysis OF bust
ness at Chicago and elsewhere. At Chicaso
no business of q wholesale character worth
mentioning has been done. Bradstreet, Is
telegraphic reports indicate that 800, 600
men have taken part in the short. hour
movement; that It's, 900 have struck, and
that 10000 have received con-
cessions without having to strike.
Some $4,000 have gained their
ends by striking. The outlook for
an early or general clearing away of indus
trial disturbances is not bright. The New
York stock market was extremely weak the
first two days OF the week, but u stronger
feeling developed and prices recovered. The
domestic markets are generally dull and
easy with loan rates ,unex changed. The
exceptions are Kansas City and St. Paul,
where funds arc in very active demand.
Collections IRE generally poor. The winter
wheat plant continues in excellent condi
ton. Spring wheat planting is nearly fin
ishedi and prospects for crop are good.
The general movement of dry goods has
been limited a.

Death Of Alex. Gray of Wisconsin.

WASHINGTON Special: Alex. Gray of Wis
consin died at his home in Corcoran street.
Mr.. Gray was secretary Of state in Wis
consin thirty-two years ago, when the ia
nous Bashford Barstow contest came up.
Gray was alleged to be the man who forged
the supplementary returns from Bridge
Creek and Range IS, town TO-" by which
Barstow was declared elected. When the
case was taken into court it was found
that .the returns from points hundreds Of
miles apart were written in tho same
handwriting, and the torn edges of two
sheets fitted together exactly. Gray went
to Washington with the late Senator Matt
Carpenter, and was his private secretary
for ten years or more. In early life in
Wisconsin they had been friends and cro-
MES. Gray's home was GAINESVILLE, where
Carpenter for q time lived while holding
the office of district attorney. Two years
ago he was stricken with paralysis, and
has been helpless since. Senator Gray OF
Delaware is his nephew.

Tho Presidents Veto Messages.

Washington Special: The president
has sent messages to the house return
ing a large number OF pension bills. It
created q decided sensation. It was known
that the president was giving these bills ex.
animation, with a view OF ascertaining
whether they were based upon evidence
sufficient to warrant the relief granted. 1t
was discovered that good grounds were as
signed for the disapproval OF the two bills
vetoed, and that the lecture of
the president upon the carelessness ex-
hibited by congress in passing upon
th>s class OF bills was justi
fed by the facts set forth. The message
was generally approved by the right minded
men OF both sides of the house. and cannot
fail to induce congress to be more careful
in the future. The two bills vetoed were
evidently selected to emphasize the presi-
dents objections to the manifest careless
ness exhibited by congress- in dealing with
pension bills, and the objections in both
cases are such that upon reconside-
ration the house will be forced to
sustain the vetoes. The house did
not need this admonition from the
executive to become convinced that suffici-
emit care is not shown in passing upon pen
sion bills. Early in the present session Mr..
Springer introduced a bill to pension a man
who was voted pension at the last ses-
sion OF congress. by the passage of the iden-
teal bill presented by Mr.. Springer. Not
understanding this fact, the pension COM
mittee actually reported the bill fav rably,
thus showing that the committee had given
the case no examination whatever.

Arrangement Of Chieaso Riot Murderer.,

Arrafgnment of Chicago Riot Murderers.
Chicago telegram: Saturday forenoon
Adolph Fischer, for the last five years q
compositor on the Arbeiter Zeitung; Ger
hardt Liziens, 81 reporter, and Mrs. Lizzie
Holmes, an editorial writer on the same
paper, were taken before Judge Rogers on
a writ of habeas corpus. Ljziens, the re-
porter, was discharged. In the case OF Mrs:
Holmes, Attorney Grinnell signifed
his willingness that she should be
allowed to depart under $500 bonds, and
expressed his hope that further investiga-
ton would prove her innocence OF
any completely in the great crime. Mrs.
Holmes was released on $500 bail. Fisch-
ers counsel, Mr.. Salamon, asked for his
discharge or Immediate trial. He boldly
asserted his clients innocence, and pleaded
ried man, a work;ngman who had a family
dependent on him for their living. Prose
cutting Attorney Grinnell interrupted: Eyes,
AMI so had the gallant policemen who
were laid low last Tuesday evening by this
! man and his friends" After the conclu-
sion OF MIR Salamon's argument, Mr.. Grin
! mel said: -
He must ask the court to refuse to set at
liberty a man whom he believed he could
prove guilty OF murder. (sensation.) 1t
! would be imprudent for the state to go in
to all examination OF this mans case at
the present time, because it would disclose
prematurely its case against some OF his.
co-conspirators. We have carefully guard
ed our evidence, and have kept it so care
fully that even the newspapers have not
got hold of it. Ihave important evidence,
| and assure the court that am confident
| that that man (pointing to Fishery assisted
in the throwing OF the bomb, and if he did
| not throw the bomb in person he was &C.
cessory to the whole plan and conspiracy.
This we can be able to show by week
from next Tuesday or Wednesday, and the
state asks that Fischer shall be held with
out bail until that time. II he il not chief,
we will prove him to be the accomplice in
the slaughter Of the police. =<1
Judge Rogers accordingly postponed the
hearing until q week from next Wednesday.
Mrs. Parsons sat upon the front seat re-
served for spectators and was dressed
quite pr etentiously. Atevery stage Of the
/ proceedings she WAS consulted by the at
torney for the defense, and informed Mr..
.Zeisler that bail would be provided. Mrs.
Parsons said to reporter who was pres
emit: We are not any Of US laughing over
this. It is awful; but weare not to blame. I"
Mrs. Fielden was also a spectator. Mrs
Parsons asked permission for herself and
Mrs. Fieldon to zee tho prisoners-Spies,
Felden and Schwab-but was refused and
referred to tho sheriff. The Arbeiter Zeitung
did not appear to-day because no firm
about town would do the press work.

Julius j. Crafts hardware store was
