The PUBLIC DEBT.
Decrease Of $4,2S1,115 During the
Month OF August.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The monthly
statement of the public debt shows
that at the close of business August
81, 1899, the debt, less cash in the treas
ury, amounted to $l,157,306, 555, a de:
crease as compared with last month OF
$4,2sl,115. This decrease is accounted
for by a corresponding increase in the
cash on hand.
The debt is recapitulated as follows:
Interest bearing debt, $l,046,04S, $50;
debt on which interest has ceased since
maturity, $1,215, $50; debt bearing no
interest, $3.50, 395,427; total S1,436,659,.
427. This amount, however, does not
include S601 ,443,203 in certificates and
treasury notes outstanding which are
offset by an equal amount of cash on

HOMECOMING FUND
FOR SOUTH DAKOTANS
Liberal Response to the Call for
Money to Bring Soldiers
Back From Frisco.
SUCCESS IS ALMOST ASSURED
Counties Are RapidIy Sending ~
their Share Of the Fund--lt
Is Necessary TO Raise
About $35, 900.

Aberdeen, S. d., Sept. 4.-Chairman
+. A. Brown, of the finance committee
for the soldiers homecoming fund,
has been advised that Hughes county
has raised the 81, 900 apportioned that
county and added an extra 500 for
good luck. Stanley county raised 5000
instead Of 800, as apportioned. 1ank-
ton county reports hat the ways and
means have all been provided for. In
other counties the commissioners have
decided in advance of the regular
meetings to appropriate the money
from the county funds, and it will be
ready as soon as required.
There is no doubt now but that the
boys will be brought home in excellent
shape without expense to themselves
as soon as mustered out at San Fran
cisco.
Black Hills Responding.
Rapid City, S. d., Sept. A letter
has been received by James HALEY in
this city from the headquarters in re-
gard to the fund which the people OF
the state intend raising 10 bring the
South Dakota boys home from san
Francisco. The state has been divided
into sections, each county having been
given a certain amount to raise.
Pennington county's amoun IS $500
and Mr.. HALEY will also have Meade
county to look after with $500 to raise.
1t is believed that these amounts can
be raised without any trouble by pub
lie contributions. The letter to Mr..
HALEY stated that it would require
$50 900 for transportation expenses II
that an additional $4,000 is wanted for
a hospital fund.
Contributions ut Huron.
Huron. $. d., Sept. 4.-Ed j. Miller.
secretary Of the soldiers homecoming
committee, has received drafts for
81, 100 from Hughes county, and 1000
from Brown county, their apportion'
ment of the fund being raised TO bring
the First regiment from San Francisco
TO South Dakota.
The apportionment to Beadle county
is $1,000, and this amount the commit
tee is now raising. The banks Of the
city will advance the money, making
a very low rate of interest, the paper
to be bankable and maturing on March
I, 1901. Other counties are busy rails
ing their proportion of the fund, and
it seems quite probable that the
amount necessary will soon be raised

Exodus Continues and Business
Paralysis Prevails.
London, Sept. 5.-The johannesburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail, who
paints a gloomy and pitiable picture
Of the condition Of things there, says:
at is almost a case of absolute eX-
odus and panic. Business is paralyzed,
the prices Of foodstufFs are rapidly ris-
ing, half the houses are empty and
the others are tenanted by people who
do not pay rent, the landlords being
glad enough to have them as occu-
pants in order TO insure some sort OF
protection TO the property.
THE tension has reached the snap
ping point. Bankruptcy and starvo-
ton are staring people in the face.
Another fortnight OF suspense will
result in "A complete commercial col
lapse. The banks are thronged with
people anxious to withdraw their
gold and the railroads are besieged by
those who wish TO get away.
