VIRGINIA'S DEBT.
AogNeRAL OUTLINE or THE SCHEME
OF SETTLEMENT.
what IL Proposed 80 60 tho Tssue OF New
Bouds for the Unfunded
obligations.
Special telegram to tho plspa,ca.I

Nyw YoRx, December Is.-The CORE
spondence with respect 20 the settlement
Of tho Virginia debt, among ether things,
SAYS that tho essential principle of the Rid
dleberger legislation is that the amount OF
the debt must be asccrtained, not by the
amount Of bonds outstanding, but by
stating al equitable account. Such an ac-
count correctly stated gives an amount
now due the creditors exceeding the pres
cni ability Of the State.
Il also says tho distribution Of the pro-
oeeds of the settlement is a matter for the
creditors 20 arrange among themselves.
Hence the proposal IS that the committee
wi offer 20 surrender the bonds in a lump
for a Jumped amount Of new bonds. the
amount and rate Of interest 10 be fixed by
conference A minimum shall be agreed
on by the committee and approved by the
board.
After o settlement is made with the State
8 commission OF three shall be appointed
by the committee in London, by advisers
iu London. and by the Olcott Committee,
who shall apportion the new bonds between
the several classes of creditors. The
Olcott Committee appoints Mr.. Phelps.
The advisers appoint Dir. Daniels, Of Lon
don.
The committee in London will meet IA
s5Ou as possible and when they appoint
proposals. VIII be advertised for the crodi-
tor o. accept.
All Indications show that the problem
will be solved m way Virginia wishes
that is. the creditors and committee will
trust frankly 90 the good faith and justice
of the sovereign State.
over Eve sixths Of tine debt held by the
public is already deposited with the COM
