The Monthly Statement of the Treasury
Department, Issued In New Form, shows
Net Reduction In the Public Debt for
July OF Only 1895, ,257-IteceIpts and
Expenditures During the Month-The
Total Debt, Less Cash In the Treasury,
S876, 3S0,I13.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.--The monthly
debt statement for July was issued from
the Treasury Department yesterday in
a new form, and shows net reduction
in the public debt during the past
month amounting to 1896, 257. The
bonded indebtedness, according to the
new form of statement, amounts to
$780, 100, 500, or decrease of SO, 5l3, $50
during the past and first month of tho
current fiscal year. The total debt,
less cash in the treasury, is placed at
SS76, ,3S9,113.
The treasury surplus, or available
cash balance, shown by the statement
issued yesterday aggregates S127,2l4,-
119. This amount includes So, 541, 719
fractional silver currency and minor
coin; and s54, 207, ,975 National Bank re-
demption fund placed in the treasury
cash under the sixth section of the
Silver act, which became law last
month, and which. of course, did not
appear as cash in the debt statement
heretofore issued. The fractional sill
yer coin and minor coin in the treasury,
in the new form, is treated and consid-
sidered as available cash; while under
the form adopted by Secretary Manning
in July, 1885, and in use since tn at
time, it was regarded as unavailable
for the reduction of the public debt"
The net cash balance reported in tho
Treasury, and which includes the Ma
tional Bank redemption fund, aggre-
gates S1O4, 672, 400, against S55, 409,74S a
month ago; but reducing the National
Bank fund and making a comparison,
shows a real decrease of about 5000
600 in treasury cash during the past
month. These are the only changes af-
fecting the statement of treasury cash
noticeable in the new form of state
ment issued yesterday.
In the "interest- bearing debt" col
umn, the items of S64, 625, sig Pacific
railroad bonds, and $4,000, 900 navy
pension fund, have been taken out and
will no longer appear in the debt state
ment under that head. The navy pen
sion fund is really not Government in
debtedness, being a prize money fund
which has accumulated in the treasury,
although for years it has, in all treas
ury debt statements, kept place in
the funded indebtedness column. The
Pacific railroads bond item, which for
years prior to July, 1885, had separate
place in the monthly treasury state
ments, was in that month placed in tho
Understanding Indebtedness column
by Secretary Manning and Treasurer
Jordon.
Government receipts during the past
month were unusually heavy, aggregat-
ing from all sources S37, 999, 466, against
S31, $50, 200 during July, 1889. On the
other hand, expenditures were consid-
orably less than in July last year, ag-
gregating S37, 1877, 157, against 41,99S,-
593 in July, 1889. The pension charges
last month were S14, S63, 465, against
S15 PAS 244 in July, 1889.

An Alliance Factory.

CANTON, July 26.-The stockholders
Of the Alliance Manufacturing Company
met here to-day and organized by re-
electing the old board.
Hon. A. S. Kyle, of Pamela, was re-
elected President, and Hon. J. p. Bee
man Secretary and Treasurer.
The proposition to purchase the prop
erty from the stockholders was unani-
mously voted down, although it involved
profit of 25 per cent. on the original
investment.
1t was determined, by resolution, to
manufacture temporarily jute bagging
and cotton fabrics generally. The stock
holders for the first time had an oppor-
tunity to personally inspect the prop
erty and surroundings, and were so we'll
pleased that many of them doubled
their stock.
The fact is certain that the Alliance
can and will raise the necessary funds
to operate the enterprise on large and
lucrative scale. The board gave full
and complete report of their steward
which the directory was formally
thanked by the stockholders.
The board determined to put in the
necessary machinery to push operations
with the greatest possible dispatch.

FORAKER ONCE MORE.
Like Quay IN Pennsylvania, He Asks for
"Vindic alton"

With Characteristic audacity For
aker pushed himself forward with such
persistency that he succeeded In get
ting elected chairman of the Ohio Re-
publican convention. Ilo belongs TO
that class of men-not numerOus class,
thank Heavcn-who have Mother per-
sonal pride nor sense of decorum. He
is always seeking for some occasion to
show what Sights have been put upon
him, real or imaginary. He delights in
exposing his folly in public In addi.
ton to this he is always fawning upon
his suLcriors, but never hesitatcs to be-
tray them, if to his own interest to do
so. Twice he came to Chicago conven-
tions for the purpose of supporting
John Sherman, and twice no so man
aged his campaign as to lay himself
open to charges of treachery.
His conduct of the last gubernatorial
campaign in Ohio, in which he was so
decisively defeated, was infamous to an
extent hitherto unknown even in cor
rupt Republican politics. He out
did Quay himself. lie connived
at forgery by which he sought to i'm
plicate his opponent in an attempt to
defraud the Government. The Con-
gressional investigation that followed
showed Foraker in this disgraceful
plight, and yet he now comes before
a Republican convention, and, like
Quay in Pennsylvania, asks for win
dication 1t is quite in keeping with
the present character of Republican,
ism that he should have it.-Chicago

Sweden Considering a Proposition to Join
the Triple Alliance.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The King of
Sweden is said to have in serious con-
sideration the reported proposition of
the Emperor Of Germany that Sweden
join the triple-alliance, with the under
standing that, in the event of war with
Russia, Finland should be returned to
Sweden; as such an addition of terri
tory would greatly aid in res soring to
Sweden a share of its former impor-
tance in European affairs. The Firms
are ripe for rebellion against Russia,
and may not even wait for any power to
help them.

Even on this statement the Press
points out that expenses will exceed re-

not all. The Press adds that at least
S25, ,OO0, 900 more must bo included for
the dependent pension bill, sum con-

add about $40, 600, 600 more ana the sub

increases to the bills tabulated above
will add two or three millions more.

THE COMING DEFICIT.
Ono OF the Results Incident to Rapaeious
Republican Rule.

The expenditures of government for
the current fiscal year will exceed the
revenues for the first time i'll many
years. Congress, in other words, has
spent more money than the people will
pay into the Treasury.
The revenues for the current fiscal
year have been estimated by the Treas
ury Department at S5S5, 00o 900, and the
postal receipts will amount to sos, 500,-
900, making in all $3.50, 500. 900. That is
the estimate of our income for the year.
What are our expenses to be? The Phil
adelphia Press, in warning the Repub-
lican party of the danger of deficit,
gives the following total of appropria-
tions as they actually stand at present:

larceny and sacrilegious action resulted in
the title of Grand Duke being stripped
from him and he was exiled to Turkestan,
where he has taken up lands, introduced
irrigating bitches, turned sandy plains
into fertile fields, built silk factory and
generally engaged so actively IN good
works that he is esteemed one of the
greatest benefactors the land has ever had.
1t is to this brother that the Gar now
proposes to send the poet. He will do
this as punishment in the first place,
and as benefit to his health in the sec
ond. From Turkestan he will find it ex-
tremely difficult to illuminate Nihilistic
thunders in either verse or prose. In
Turkestan the politician finds little sym
pathy, and there is barrier to commune
cation between the province and Russia
that is completely under the control of the
Car. By this statement of facts it will
be easy to understand that Constantine
assaults upon the Car and his stirring
poetic appeals to young Russia to rise are
not so disinterested as may have been
thought, and that there is some degree Of
sympathy due the Car, so far as the at.
tacks of his cousin are concerned. who, il
he were not at personal enmity with Alex.

absolutist as the most tyrannical of auto
