Washington, July 2.—The monthly statement of the public debt issued Monday shows the debt on June 30, the end of the fiscal year, to have been 81,090,913,120, exclusive of 8579,207,863 in certificates and treasury notes in circulation offset by an equal amount of cash in the treasury. Nor does*-it include §31,157,750 in bonds of the last issue which have not yet been delivered to London purchasers. The debt on June 30, 1894, was §1,010,897,816, showing an increase for the year, including bonds not yet delivered in London, of 8111,173,054. The cash in the treasury, however, has increased during tlie^year from §117,-584,436 to 8195,230,253, a gain of 877,655,717.

When lied died about eighteen months ago he had six living heirs, one of whom is Dahner. Pahner will go back to his home and then to California to claim the fortune.
