The State Allotment OF United States
Money.


A decision was rendered by the supreme
coury of the United States yesterday in tho
important state claim case which stands on
the original docket as No. l6 OK parte tho
commonwealth Of Virginia. This is petition
for writ of mandamus to compel the secre-
tary Of tho treasury to deposit with the state
of Virginia the sum of $732, SOD, which is its
prOpOrtiOnate part of the fourth installment
of the public money, which, by an act cnti-
tied AN act to regulate the deposits of the
public money" approved June -, 1886, the
secretary of the treasurer was directed to
deposit with the states The court holds:
!. That the act created no debt or legal
obligation upon the part of the United States
to the states accepting its terms, and only
made provision for the deposit temporarily
with the states, subject to recall by tho gov
ernment, OF IL portion of the surplus revenue
of the United States.
9. That the original act authorized the
deposits to be made out of the surplus revenue
in the treasury on the first day of January,
1887. The act Of oct. 2, 1887, postponed the
deposit Of the fourth installment until Jan. l.
1899, and when that time arrived that in
stallment could not be deposited, because the
condition Of the treasury at that time did not
admit Of its being done But congress has
not made the fourth installmcut u charge
upon the revenue arisingi in tho treasury since
Jan. /, 1889, and the secretary has no power
to apply the present revenue to meet tho
fourth installment without the authority of
an act OF congress,
The petition for writ of mandamus is
denied. Opinion by Justice Harlan
Under the act Of 1886, to which construction
has thus been given by the court, there was
deposited with the states-then twenty-six
in number-the sum of Sos, lO1 ga. This
sum has ever since been carried upon the
books of the treasury as an asset, but an un-
available one. The fourth installment, if il
had been paid would have Increased this sum
to $37 46s, ,ojS. The only state which has
followed the example Of Virginia in insti.
tuting proceedings to enforce the deposit of
the fourth installment is tho state Of ArkRn-
sas, which recently made formal demand
upon the secretary of the treasury.

utes was engrossed in reading tho address
upon the wrapper. Another visit was then
paid to the window with the same result and
she resumed her position by the window,
repeating her visits at intervals until late in
the afternoon, when she disappeared.
The officials about the postollice know her
well and say that for ten years she has paid
o daily visit to the Office in quest of letter.

accompanied with great hardship to them

cash as rapidly us possible, and n dividend Of
70 per cent. was declared in January, 1873,
on all undsputcd claims 4 second dividend

At the time OF the failure the assets were csti.
mated at $l,2l2,Ol5.79, and the liabilities at
Sl,555,33G. From the proceeds of the assets
three dividends, amounting to Il per cent,
have been paid to the dcpositors, and there is
now on deposit with the United States Trust
company Sl9,0l05G, of which about $4,000 is
due on unclaimed dividends.

consisted of bonds and mortgages, many Of
them executed by the bank trustees to make
up deficiencies. From the assets four divi-
dends, aggregating 40 per cent, have been
paid to the depositors, and a further small
dividend will probably be declared. The re-
