THE PUBLIC bEBT.
The Apparent Increase Explained BY
Secretary Window.


Secretary Window.
WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-Referring to GER
tain newspaper statements that during the
months of July and August of this year the
public debt had been increased over
s., 900, 900, while during the same months in
1888 the debt had been decreased over Sl1,.
900, 600, Secretary Window to-day said:
"Those statements convey an entirely erro-
neous impression. The fact is, as shown by
the books of the treasury, that on the 30th
of June, 1889, the total amount of the public
debt, including bonds of all kinds, was
1895 3sS, 9S7, and on the 3lst day of August it
was only SS75, AIS, S07 showing a reduction
of $40, $50 during these two months. The
redu ctioD during the same months OF last
year was only about one third of that
amount, viz sos, ,l7o. The reduction OF the
annual interest charge ON the public debt
during the months of July and August,
1888, was only S20l ,3Ol.l0, while
the reduction of the annual interest
charge during the same months this year
was 1915, ,6S6, being more than three times as
great reduction as that of last year. In
fact the reduction Of interest on the public
debt in the last two months has been equalled
by only a few periods in the country's' his
tory. The erroneous newspaper conclusion
above referred to arose doubtless from the
peculiar form of the monthly statement OF
the special debt issued by this department,
in which the amount OF the debt
Is given less the cash in the treas
ury. BY this form any Increase
OF cash in the treasury shows an apparent
decrease of the debt and disbursements for
any purpose, other than the purchase of
bonds at par value, show an apparent in
crease equal to the amount of such disburse-
ments. During the last two months, though
the actual reduction of the debt was $50, ,9l0,-
$50, the debt statement showed the apparent
liz crease of 81, ,U94. 003.
"rhe increase of disbursements in July
and August Of this year, over JULY. and Au'
gust of last year, is accounted for by the
fact that most of the appropriation bills were
not passed IN 1888 until September and Oc-
tober and money was not available, except
to such limited amounts as were permitted
by the continuance resolutions of congress-
while in 1889 the appropriations for the en-
tire year were available on July l.
1.-The largely increased purchases of bonds
for the sinking fund during the last two
months over the corresponding month of last
year. show an increase in the premium paid
of S2, 575, ,926.4 43. All these things figure in
last debt statement as an increase in the pub
lie dept, while in reality they have nothing
tn do wit IL -

Forrest Got the Gore.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-There was sensational
affair at the Carlson cottage, the supposed
scene of the Cronin murder, tonight. Law
yer Forrest, of the defense, drove up to the
cottage early III the evening and, paying
the usual admission fee, entered. Mr.
and Mrs. Lindgren, the son-in-law
and daughter of the old Carlson couple, were
the only other persons in the cottage at the
time. They gave the visitors the usual de-
scription of the suppositious incidents of the
murder, pointing out the blood stains.
The latter are enclosed by "a wooden railing
to keep relic hunters out. Forrest asked
Lindgren where the house of Ice Man
O'Sullivan was and Lindgren accommodat-
ingly escorted him to IL window and described
the locality. While thus engaged Forests
companions jumped over railing and with
sharp tools proceeded to remove from the
floor and wall pieces containing the blood
stains Lindgren, after vainly trying to
make them desist, shouted for assistance
Old Man Carlson came running
IN with cooked revolver, but
Forests companions seized and disarmed
him. They then re-entered their carriage.
carrying with them the coveted trophies of
the expedition.
Forrest has been endeavorng for some
time to secure possession of these specimens
from the cottage presumably to use as an
exhibit IN the trial, but the Carlsons have
pcrsistently refused to let HIM have them,
and Judge Mcconnell has declined to issue
an order compelling them TO do so.

A CHICAGO STREET OAR STRIKE
The Conductors and Drivers Said to
BE Dissatisfied.

CHICAGO. Sept. 9.-[Special Telegram
to The BEE. lit looks as though Chicago,
just at the opening of the fall trade is to be
plunged into the periodical street Car strike
which stagnates trade and encourages law
lessness. The west division conductors and
drivers, as the result of secret meeting,
have decided. it is said, to present certain de-
mands to the companies, which, If not ac-
ceded to, will result in a general strike.
Manager John II. Parsons, in an interview
to- day, attempts 10 reassure the public mind
by insisting that the roads anticipate no
trouble, but inquiry among the employees Of
the road elicited the fact that strike might
be declared and that it hau already been
talked of to considerable extent One con-
ductor on an Indiana street car said that he
had attended the meeting and knew all about
the strike, which would likely be declared.
"Our reasons" said he, 'are sufficient to
warrant such a step, and the grievances we
complain of are those which the company ut
terly refuse to pay any attention to- | can
not tell our grounds of complaint to the pub
lie, however"
that some OF tine men have been discharged
without sufficient reasons" asked the re
porter.

that's not our entire case by any means.'

"About that don't know On Saturday
night the matter was discussed to a consid-
erable extent and finally was referred to the

which the circumstances were similar, and
the talesmen had been peremptorily excused,
Judge Mcconnell said:
~ want to say word to the gentlemen on
both sides in reference to these challenges.
AS understand the law, and think | have
taken IL from very high authority and
from rules of practice, well approved, in
the impaneling of jury in a case which has
been so very much discussed and so very
much published IN the newspapers as this
has, and concerning which sheriffs have gone
to nearly all parts OF the country and sum
moned nearly all classes and conditions OF
society, IL IL becomes apparent that an ideal
or perfect jury cannot be secured; that Is,
jury which has no impressions upon the mat
ter, then the court must take the next best
So, while great hberaity will be
permitted, such as this court has
permitted in the case in the early
empaneling Of the jury, necessarily, the
court becomes convinced thatit can not G so
liberal; that IL itwere to continue that course
no jury could be empaneled; that liberality
must be limited. So, whatever might be the
ordinary rules Of law which govern the en-
paneling of a jury in an ordinary case, they
must bend to the eXigerces of case OF more
public concern, otherwise the result would
necessarily follow that, in certain cases, no
Jury could even be empaneled. Now, / mean
to say by that, that where l md
that those opinions are simply
founded upon newspaper readlng, anu
men come here in whose intelligence and
character the court is bound to come to the
conclusion that, from what they say, they
can fairly and impartally try the case on
the law and evidence, | shall not be so lib
eral as have been. We have already con.
sumed nine days in endeavoring to empanel
jury.n
In all about twenty-five talesmen were ex-
amined during the day, ana all of them were
excused, either for cause or by peremptory
challenges.
A new venire was ordered for to morrow.

VERDICT AGAINST A PRIEST.
A worcest Physician Secures Dam

A Worccst r Physician Secures Dam
ages For Defamation of Character.
WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. o. Special Tel
egram to THE BEE In the superior court
to-day the jury returned a verdict against
Rt. Rev. Mgr. e. Ely Brochne, Catholic
priest of Southbridge, in the sum of $500,
with interest, amounting IN all to 81, T2O.2j
This was the suit of Or. Lanes o. Marasse,
practicing physician of the same town. DIR.
Morasse was member of the Catholic church,
and was divorced from his wife. He con-
tinued to attend services at the Catholic
church, and later was married to another
woman, his first wife being at the time still
living. He was some time after that eX-
communicated from the church, because as
the plaintiff alleges, the marriage ceremony
was performed by minister not of the
Roman Catholic order The plaintiff fur
ther alleged that the defendant tried and
did injure him in his professional business
and social relations by falsely and malic-
iously accusing him of the CRIME of
fornication, and Of saying TO his people from
the pulpit and confessional that they need
not send for him in case of sickness or for
any cause if DR.. Morasse was present, for he
would not be under the same roof with him.
The accusations and declarations were
uttered in the French language and to the
congregations generally, thereby injuring
him IN his business TO the extent, as is
claimed, of SIS, 900. The defendants answer
to this was hat he did so with no malice,
but as the pastor of his flock, and they were
justifiable and privileged. He was censured
in accordance with the rule OF the church, to
which the plaintiff, as a member, had be-
come amenable.
In the evidence it transpired that the doc
tors wife left SOuthbrdge and was later
heard of in Michigan. He sent his counsel
to procure a divorce, and it was granted on
April % 1886 In the meantime it was told
in evidence that the doctor was paying at
tention to another young lady; that he was
engaged in January and married May 3, of
the same year. IL was not until February
"a, 1887, that Father Brochne, after his re-
turn from an extended trip, made tho state
ment for which he is held responsible.

CHICAGO, Sept 9.-The work of finding

Judge Mcconnell this morning. and from the

men had commenced it would appear that
the court is disposed to accelerate the work.

finally Forrest, for the defense, challenged
the juror for cause, giving as reasons that he
had formed an opinion as to the existence of
a conspiracy to kill Cronin and also as TO
whether or not some of these defendants
were members of the conspiracy and that
Cronln was killed in pursuance of the action
of supposed trial committee appointed by
camp of the so-called Clan ma Gael society.
The court asked the juror il. notwithstand-
ing opinions formed upon these mat
ters, he could give the prison.
ers fair and impartial trial, to
which the juror answered he could. The
challenge was then overruled by the court.
Forrest took exception to the ruling of the
court and challenged the Juror peremptorily.
The same process was followed with the
next candidate, at the end of whose exami-
nation Forrest challenged the juryman for
cause, on the ground that he had formed an
opinion which he considered pretty firm, and
which he had expressed. The juror, on
being asked by the court as to whether he
believed the men guilty, said he merely
stated that it looks that way. The court
then overruled the challenge but the juror
was peremptorily challenged by the defense.
At this rate thSperemptory challenges will
soon be exhausted.

lenges for cause in several other cases, IN
