The Nations Debt.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The monthly
statement of the public debt shows
that at the close OF business August 81,
1908. the total debt. less cash in the
treasury, amounted TO s92S,924,S57
which is a decrease for the month OF
s6O9S,951. This decrease is accounted
for principally by the corresponding
increase in the cash on hand. The
debt is recapitulated as follows: In
terest-bearing debt. s914541, 400; debt
on which interest has ceased since
maturity, S1,2O4, ,07O; debt bearing no
interest 1891, ,629, ,597; total $780,
S75.O67. This amount, however. does
not contain Ss96. 7s9, ,S69 in certificates
and treasury notes outstanding, which
are offset by an equal amount Of cash
on hand held for their redemption.

Baltimore, Sept. 2.-The story Of
probable great strike on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, due to grievances
of the employees, sent out from this city,
appears TO be a fake. Baltimore and
Ohio officials declare that there is no
prospect Of a Strike and that the re-
lations between the company and the
men were never better.
c. A. Cross. for the conductors,
states that they have no grievances
that could possibly cause a strike and
that the question Of strike had never
been discussed or thought Of.
Twice each year the different unions
send delegates to a meeting TO discuss
the grievances of the men. This year
all Of the different unions of conduc-
tors, trainmen. engineers and firemen
decided to meet together. With this
exception the delerates are doing now
just what they have been doing for
years and pronounce the story to have
absolutely no foundation.
