PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.
A Decrease of s14,79.,553 for tn
Month of June.

The monthly statement of the public debt
shows that at the close of business June
80, 1900, the debt, less cash in the treasury,
amounted to 81. 107, Ill, 25S, which is a de-
crease for the month Of s14, 1917 $50. This
decrease is accounted for by an increase in
the cash on hand, and by redemption Of 2
per cent bonds. The debt is recapitulated
as follows: Interest-bearing debt, s1,023,
AIS, $50; debt on which interest has ceased
since maturity, s1,176,320: debt bearing no
interest. s3Ss, 761, 792; total. Slab. 1892.
This amount, however, does not include
$I23,5t4 1I9 in certificates and treasury
notes outstanding, which are offset by an
equal amount of cash in the treasury.
The cash in the treasury is classified as
follows:
Reserve fund in gold coin and bullion.
$15o,WpOO00.
Trust funds in gold. silver and United
States notes. s723, 544. 119.

her unconscious. After q time she was en-
abled to continue her way to her home here.
Her left side is badly bruised and her left

BE Submitted by Builders.
In view of the discussion that has been
caused among naval authorities anent the
adoption of the report of the naval board
in favor of the construction Of three of
the five new battle ships with superposed
turrets, Secretary Long has called atten-
ton to the fact that the departments cir
cular upon which bids Will be invited for
the construction Of the ships is not abso-
lutely conclusive as to the character OF the
armament. Admiral SIMPSONS plan look
ing to the use of superposed turrets on
each end of the vessels, and the abandon
ment Of the heavy four eight-inch turrets,
one at each corner of the superstructure,
in1avor of eight Sx-inch guns in shields
on the broadsides, has commended itself
strongly to the department. and it is said
that the department is still open to other
possible improvement in the arrangement
of ordnance. To this end the circulars are
being framed SO as to permit the ship
builders to submit bids not only upon the
departments plans. but also upon plans Of
their own. That this may be done with
advantage is shown to Secretary Longs
satisfaction, by the adoption for one Of
the big battle ships now building of plans
submitted by Cramps In preference to the
departments own design, and the same
thing may occur in the case Of the new
ships.
