Tho commissioner of pensions has received re-ceived a number of dispatches from pension agenls, giving the unexpended balance ot the peusiou funds in their hands at the close of business June 110. All have not yet reported, but tho indications in-dications aro that tho balance will bo about 13,000,000. This, added to the ainouot iu the treasury unexpended, will make $8,000,000 Under the law any balance unexpended is to be turned into tho treasury, which will lie done today, aud the increase in the treasury balance will be about M.OOO.OOO. In explanation of the change in form of the debt statement and the reason therefor, made by the secretary of the treasury, ha calls attention to certain changes iu the monthly debt statement is-iued for June. IsOl, and in the daily statement required, showing the increase in-crease or Ujieresjsa in the public deht. 41nfle? - this J3r3 It happened tj,. several occasions when large pur-, chases of bonds were made that the statement following would show au increase of tho public debt when a reduction hail really been of)'o:ted. This was owing to the fact that the principal and premium paid for bonds reduced cash on hand beyond the amount of the bonds actually redeemed, re-deemed, and the secretary concluded to separate the statement of tho debt from tho statement of tho cash in the treasury. Hereafter the staterueut of cash on hand will show n increase from motif) to month and this statement will ba part of the form now adopted. In making up the new statement of cash in the treasury tho figures will show the different kinds of money included in the total. Against this total will bo stated the cash liabilities. These items heretofore have been eliminated. elimi-nated. The secretary will not hereafter deduct from his cash balance the amount on deposit in the national banks nor fractional silver coiu on hand, lie thinks thero is no good reason why this should ever have been done. |
