The monthly debt statement for July was issued to-day from the treas arv, in a new form, and shows a net re inction on the public debt during the past month, amounting to $395,257. The bonded indebtedness to-day, ac cording to the new form ot the state ment, amounts to S700,799,3GO, or a decrease of $10,513,760 during the past and lirst month of the current lis- cal year. The total debt to-day, less cash iu the treasury, in placed at $7C,- The treasury surplus or available cash balance, as shown by the state ment issued to-day, aggregates $127,- 211,119.

The fractional silver coinage and minor coin in the treasury in tho new. form is to day treated and considered as available otish, Alrije under the form adopted by secretary Manning In .Tilly, 1885, anil in use since that time, it was regarded as unavailable for the reduction of public debt The net cost balance reported in the treasury to-day, and which in cludes the national bond redemption fund, aggregates $101,072,400, against $55,409,745 a month ago, but deduct ing the National bank fund and mak ing a comparison, shows a real de crease of about $5,000,000 iq the treas pry in oash during the past month. These are the only changes nflecting the statement of tho treasury oash, no ticeable in the new form of statement issued to-day. In the interest bearing debt column, tho items of $04,023,512 Pacific railroad bonds, and $14,550 navy ponsiwn fund, have been taken out, and will no longer appear in the debt statement under that head.

Cojiuecled with Washburn's show was a band of Mexi cans audcowboyg, who got into trouble with tho Icwiajneu. The tents ot the rivals were pitched only a few blocks apart, and the affray occurred on tho grounds of the Irwins. n The quarrel began over a dog, aud ended by half a dozen men of each show taking a hand iu a fierce fight, clubs, tent stakes, knives and razors being some of the weapons used, and a great deal ot blood was spilled before the patrol wagon arrived.

The wheat crop is not improved any. In dian corn has lost heading owing to the drv weather in eastern Kansas and Nebraska, where rain is needed, but nee promises the largest crop on record, and the cotton crop advices arc favorable. Our own crop advices fromeastorn Kansas yesterday, are in brief as fol fel fol eows: Heading crops, as compared with one year ago, potatoes one fifth, corn one-fourth, wheat not quite one half, corn and oats are worth twice last prices, wheat,- flax ' and hay one fourth more, and potatoes three times as iunoh.

One of Astoria's reliable oitizen3 who returned yesterday from Oyster ville, gave his opinion of tho famous case in Pacific county, where John Edwards is one of the parties being tried for ithe- murder of Frednckson and wife. He believed that the case would yes terday be giveiftd the-jury, and from the evidence was satisfied the jury would not cenvict Edwards. If they find him guilty, it will be because they think public sentiment almost de mands such a verdict, but it will not really be because the evidence proves his guilt, -jo bitch a finding, there will be au appeal to the su preme court, and there he felt sure, the decision ot the lower court wonld be reversed, and Edwards acquitted. His private opinion was. that George Bose was really the only guilty party, bnt that his father and mother at least, were accessories after the fact. He believes that only oue of George's confessions are true and that is the ouo in which George relates how he himself killed them both. Kipdius I'atlia to California. At the lime of General Fremont's death ho was engaged upon tho manu script of a paper for the Century's forthcoming series on the California gold-hunters- It was to bo entitled, "Finding Paths to California," and and was not only to deal with the sev eral exploring expeditions, bnt to nar rate the writer's mtunate connection with tho events which led to the con quest and occupation of the ter ritory. Tho work will be prompt ly continued by Mrs. Fremont. A first draft of the article had been made and the subject had been so recently mid closely discussed liy General and Mrs. Fremont that ahe will have no tronhlo in completing the manuscript, for which she had already written an introduction, as well as a supplemeut describing her life nt Monteroy in 1849. A fine por trait of General Fremont, from a daguerreotype of, '49 or '50, will ap pear in the September number of The Century, along with portraits of Commodores Sloat and Stockton, "Duke" Gwin, .and governor Burnett, in an artiole giving account ot "How California came into the Union." Subsidies'. Opponents of American shipping interests have Jess to say now than formerly about the unsnbsidized mer chant marine of England. This reti cence is natural, since the British and Canadian governments have com pletly demolished their argument Thcro stands tho plain faces of the recent subsidizing of the Vancouver and .Halifax lines to confute them. The now British steamships which are to cross the Pacific and to com pefe with an American line receiving $14,000 a year for mail transporta tion are to be furnished with a subsidy of $375,005 a year, and the correspond ing line from Halifax to Liverpool will have subsides from Canada and England amonnting to $500,000 an nually. Tbi3 isentierly apart from the subventions tb the Canadian Paci fic railways, virtually aggregating, as Mr. Nimmo has shown, $10,686,000 a year and constituting a discrimina tion against American commerce and railways., Here is a sum exceeding 411,500,000 annually which is protect ing the British line of steam and rail way communications between Liver- nrml rind TTnnrr "Knrtrr virt nnnnrln.

Letters brought by the steamer Bertlia from Alaska, tarnish news to July 15th. The weather in the north is very stormy, which partially accounts for the poor catch. Karlack river forms the most important fishing ground, as its run is generally larger and there are more canneries there than else where. None ot tho canneries have been doing extra well. The Hume Packing company is loading the others. One cannery at Hyke bay and two others located at Afajnak, have done fairly well, but nothing to compare with what they should have done. The packs around Karluk will proba bly amount to 60,000 or G2.000 cases, whioh is about 30 to 50 per cent short of the pack ot last year at this time. It is very difficult to get news at this time of the season. The canner ies have done so poorly that the owners prefer to remain silent regard ing their catches, but the above fig ures are as correct a can be obtained. Advices from Cook's inlet. Prince William's Bound an&T other localities show that the runs outside jjf Karluk river have also been light The result of the news has had a bulling effect on the market price, it having advanced from 90 to 95 cents per dozen since yesterday.

A dispatch to the Times from Bueno3 Ay res states that president Celman issued a manifesto. After speaking of tho demand for his resignation made by leaders ot the revolutionary movement, he refers to the prosperity and liberty the country enjoys under liis rule. He ignores the gravity and the horrors of recent events in Buenos Ayres. The mani festo attributes the sole cause of the insurrection to the insensate ambition of a local party in Buenos Ayres which, it says, wished to impose itself upon the entire republio, while prosperity, peace and security are represented by the Celman government. Even Celman's own party is aghast at the president's callousness and his incom prehensible and vain ignorance ot the real gravity of the situation. The manifesto conolndes with an expres sion ot eternal gratitude to the sup porters of the president's authority, and adds that the patriotic people bless them as their Baviors.
