A VIRGINIA CLAIM DENIED.
Justice Harlan Hands Down a Decision
in an important Case.

Justice Harlan Hands Down a Decision
in an Important Case.
WASHINGTON, March IA decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court the
United States to-day in the important State
claim case, which stands on the original
docket as No. 16, ex parte the Common
wealth of Virginia. This petition is for a
writ Of mandamus to compel the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to deposit with the
State of Virginia the sum Of 1872. 800,
which is its prop0rtiOnate part of the
fourth installment of public money. which
by an act entitled ''an act to regulate de-
pOsits of public money" approved June
%, 1886, the Secretary of the Treasury
was directed to deposit with the States
surplus of revenue. The court holds:
FIRST. That the act created no debt or
legal obligation upon the part of the
United States to States accepting its
terms, and only made the provision for
the deposit temporarily with the States
subject to recall by the government of a
portion of the surplus revenue of the
United States.
Second. That the original act author
lied deposits to be made out of the sur-
plus revenue in the Treasury on the first
day of January, 1887. The act of October
,, 1887, postponed the deposit of the fourth
lusIdllm6Hb uutl january l, lS39. and
when that time arrived that installment
could not be deposited, because the condi-
ti0n of the Treasury at that time did not
admit of its being done, but Congress has
not made the fourth installkient charge
upon the revenue arising in the
Treasury since January 1, 1899, and
the Secretary has no power to
apply the present revenue to meet the
fourth installment without the authority
of an act of Congress. The petition for a
writ of mandamus is denied. The opin-
ion is by Justice Harlan. Under the act
Of 1886. to which construction has thus
been given by the court, there was depos-
tied with the States, then twenty-siX in
number, the sum of $2S, ,lO1 ga. This sum
has ever since been carried upon the
books Of the Treasury as an asset, but an
unavailable one. The fourth installment,
If 1t had been paid, would have increased
TINS amount to $37, ,46S, S5S. The only State
which has followed the example of Vir-
ginia IN instituting proceedings toenforce
the deposit of the fourth installment is
the State Of Arkansas. which recently
made formal demand ON the Secretary
of the Treasury.
