of the change in the form of the debt
statement issued yesterday and the rea-
son therefor is made by the Secretary of
the Treasury. He calls attention TO cer-
tain changes in the monthly debt state
ment issued for June, 1891, and the daily
statements of cash in the Treasury.
Heretofore the manner and makeup of
the monthly statement required the
showing of the increase or decrease in
the public debt. Under this form it hap
pened on several occasions, when large
purchases of bonds We're made, the state
ment following would show an increase
in the public debt when a reduction
really had been effected. This was owing
to the fact that the principal and premium
paid for bonds reduced the cash on hand
beyond the amount of bonds actually re-
deemed.
The Secretary concluded to separate
the statement of the debt from the state
ment of the cash in the Treasury. Here
after the statement Of cash on hand will
show an increase from month TO month,
and this statement will be part of the
form now adopted. In making up u new
statement of the cash in the Treasury, the
figures will show the different kinds of
money included in the total Against
this total viii be stated tic -sh liabili-
ties. These items have heretofore been
eliminated.
The Secretary will not hereafter deduct
from his cash balance the amount on de-
posit in the national banks, nor the frac-
tional silver coin on hand. He thinks
there is no good reason why this should
ever have been done.

SAN Francisco, July 2.-The steamer
China arrived this evening from Hong

under date of June Sd says:
The threatened riot at Nanking took
place. The Methodist girls school was
attacked and pillaged of its contents and
burned on May 25th by Chinese rabble.
Several other mission buildings We're at
tackled by rioters, and would have been
demolished but for the interference of
body Of Chinese soldiers sent by the
Viceroy, only after urgent appeals had
been made to him by the missionaries.
On the Sunday previous the missionaries
were semi-officially notified that their
premises would be burned, and accord
ingly twenty-three missionaries and all
the women and children of the American
and English missions took passage on
the steamer for Shanghai the day before
the riots. Trouble is anticipated at Kin
kiang, and the residents are sending
their valuables to Shanghai.
Over twenty rioters have been cap
tured at Wahu. The Niceroy has given
the local magistrates permission to put
the leaders to death on the spot. Notice
was given by the authorities that they
would cut off eleven heads ON May 18th.
A telegram was received at Shanghai

the old French Church at Tai Yang,
which had stood for 200 years.
At Tai Yang on June 1st fanatical

SECRETARY BLAINE.
1t is Thought He VIII be Well and
Strong by Autumn.

Strong by Autumn.
BAR HARBoR, July 2.-Secretary Blaine,
although not feeling so well to-day as
yesterday, perhaps from overexertion,
was seen walking OH the main street. He
took his accustomed ride from ll:3O to
l:30. He is by no means well man. but
there is noreason why he should not be
well and strong by autumn. Many false
rumors arise from the fact that the public
did not know how sick he was in New
York. Since his sickness there he has
steadily improved. Any drawbacks have
been only a day or two in duration.
His physician says his patient eats well,
sleeps well, has no organic disease, and is
rapidly gaining his usual health. He
takes no medicine whatever, except oc-
casionally simple remedies to aid diges-
ton. He has no trace of paralytic affec-
ton, from which he suffered three years
ago. His sickness in New York was the
result of overwork, combined with la
grippe.
Notwithstanding tho statements of his
physician and members of the family,
many people here believe him to be
broken down-that he will never again
engage in active business-yet it is evil
dent to everyone that he has improved
since his arrival here.

of Vacaville.
VAcAvILLE, July 2-The aftermath of
the hot spell is being felt now. Apricots
approaching maturity are SO badly
burned by the heat and the accompanying
north wind as to be unmarketable. One
large grower, whose entire crop above a
certain size goes to the cannery, and
whose daily shipment is about carload,
has been unable to ship over forty or fifty
boxes at a time. In consequence cutters
are in great demand, and the price has
raised from 20 cents to 80 cents hundred
pounds, and quantities of fruit are going
to waste, owing to the inability to obtain
hands enough to handle it. The Gamers
Will have difficulty now to get sufficient
to meet their requirements, while dried
fruit will drug the market. Peaches and
early grapes are also suffering, the burn
ing wind drying up the tender fruit.
Very little fruit is going East, in conse-
quence of the damaged condition, and
what appeared in the early season TO be a
good and great crop now promises to be
the other way.

charges was based was inaccurate.
