PUBLIC DEBT GROWS.
Shows an Increase of $12, 5se, 771 for
January.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The monthly
statement of the public debt shows the
debt, less cash in the treasury, amounts
to S1,O11, 1O1, 1888, an increase for the
month of So, 589. III
The increase is accounted for by the
decrease in the amount of cash on
hand.
The debt is recapitulated as follows:
Interest BEARING debt, $647, 1865, $40 debt
on which interest has ceased since ma
turity, 81, 1855 debt bearing no inter
est, 1886, S78, ia; total, 81, 235, SIS, 124.
This amount, however, does not in
clude 1881, 1913 in certificates and
treasury notes outstanding, which are
offset by an equal amount of cash in
the treasury.
The treasury cash is classified as fol-
lows:
Gold, $500, 731, 551; silver, $50. 616, $50;
paper, 500, 452, O96; bonds deposited in
national banks, diSbursing officers bal

DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY
Receives Favorable Consideration
From the House Committee.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The house COM
merce entered into a rather extended
discussion of the project for the crea-
ton of a department of industry and
commerce today.
Most of the members participated in
the interchange of views and sugges-
lions, and there seemed to be general
desire for some measure of this charac-
ter.
The bill now being considered by the
committee however is not satisfactory
in several particulars, and a substitute
is likely to be presented. There is a
strong opposition to the elevation of
such an office to a position of a cabi-
net rank.

Ex.PRESIDENT BANKRUPT.
Barrillas, the Guatemalan millionaire,
Makes an Assignment.

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-The Chronicle
says: Don Manuel L. Barrillas, ex-
president of Guatemala and million
aire coffee planter has turned over all
his vast plantation properties to two
prominent business men of Quesalte-
mango who will liquidate the estate for
him.
A circular announcing the liquidation
has been sent out to all firms with
which Barrillas has had dealings and
has been received by several South
American houses in this city. 1t sim
ply recites the fact that it has been
thought best for various reasons to
place the firm of NJ. L. Barrillas &
Co. in liquidation and that FREDERICK
Koch, a prominent merchant and Man
uel- Dieguez, a well known lawyer have
been appointed liquidators to close up
all pending operations and take entire
charge of the business.
Castle Bros, who are the heaviest
creditors of the house in California,
have Sol Hirsch in Guatemala at pres
ent looking after their interests. From
his letters they are satisfied that Bar
rillas is not only solvent, but still very
wealthy, and are not at all alarmed
about the latest turn of affairs.

He demanded a ticket to Ypsalanti at the
legal two cent rate and then paid the le-
gal three cent fare under protest.
The suit already pending to compel the
Michigan Central to sell one thousand
mile tickets for $40 is not broad enough
for the governor, as the winning of it
would benefit only those who have the 80
to pay for mileage books. The second
suit, he asserts, will be for the benefit
of the plain people, who pay for just the
ride they get. The Michigan Central
claims to be exempted under its special
charter from obligations to carry passen>
gers at a two cent rate. The governor
contends that the company's charter was
amended by a general railroad law, pass
ed in 1891.

MANSFIELD Is SEVERE.
The Great Actor Condemns Cheap

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Ar. Richard Mans

day before the graduate club and their
guests of the universities, who packed

Afterwards a reception was given him
at the residence of Professor and Mrs.
Judson, where for over an hour he
shook hands with the long line of invi-
ted guests. All the faculty and their
wives were present, together with
many of the most prominent people of
this city.
Mr. Mansfield severely condemned
music halls and cheap theaters and de-
clared that money spent in them is
money which properly belongs to the
drama of this country. He deplored
wright and appealed to the rising gen
Grafton to devote their minds to the
writing of great plays. The speaker
objected to personal criticism and
referred to the fact that he had once
been criticised for breakfasting in his
hat because of a draught. He asserted
that the stage is no more and is per-
haps less immoral than society, and Sc
verely scored prominent London dra-
matte critic for a recent attack upon
the morals of the stage.
Mr.. Mansfield urged the recognition
and encOura cement of American dra-
matte artists as against foreigners and
declared that America has as good rea-
son to be proud of its stage as Eng
land, Germany, or France. He said
the mission of the actor is to instruct
as well as to amuse, and that the ac-
tor has much the better of the clergy
man, in that the former breaches seven
or eight times a week, while the latter
is limited to one weekly sermon, or at
the most two.

PETERS IS DISCOURAGED.
He Now Has Little Hope of the Fed
eral Division Bill

Newton, Kan, Feb. S.-Judge S. R.
Peters has practically abandoned all
hopes for the passage of the division
bill by congress this session. He does
not say so, but his friends are strongly
of that opinion, and the judge infers it.
The interview with Congressman
Charles Curtis, in which he said there
is no necessity for division and that he
is opposed to it, is what caused Judge
Peters abandonment of hope. Curtis
says there can be no division by his
vote, and this practically kills it for the
time being, for the reason that congress
would hardly pass it with the opposi-
ton of one of the Kansas Republican
members. This is what Peters friends
realize.
Judge Peters attributes the opposi-
ton of Curtis to the belief in Topeka,
that the bill will injure that town, and
the prejudice there against the divis-
ion. Notwithstanding this, Judge Pc
ters says he still has hopes that there
is a remote contingency that Senator
Baker may have some influence upon
Curtis.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT MEN.
Are Not Alarmed as Long as Ger
many Prohibits Only Green Fruit.

San Francisco, Feb. S.-Among the fruit
exporters in San Francisco, the news OF
the action of the German government
prohibiting the importation of American
fruit created alarm. Albert Castle
of Castle Bros. voiced the general senti>
ment in the statement that California sent
too little fresh fruit to Germany to feel
the prohibition. He agreed with J. K.
Armsby &c Co.'S representative and those
of Porter Bros. & Co. and Rosenberg
Bros. & Co. that at present the market in
Germany for this states fresh fruits was
not of sufficient Importance to justify
alarm.
Joseph A. Filcher, secretary of the
state board of trade said: 81 believe that
Germany's action is in retaliation for the
sugar tariff of the Dingley bill. 1t will
not affect California much, we export
small quantities of fresh fruits to that
country. OF course extension of the
prohibition to dried fruits would concern
US nightly"
