The Debt Settlement.

New York will have another conference next
week with the Virginia debt commission. The
day place where this is TO be held is not stated
II is thought probable, however that the proposed
conference will take place in Richmond. The
impression is that the million-dollar dspos:t re-
quired by the legislative resolution creati. the
State commission will be insisted upon.
The American bondhoders' committee in New
York engaged in the eff,rt to settle the Virginia
debt report no new features in the negotiations.
They still wait for the answer from The Governor
Of Virginia to their prop ,sitons for confererc,.
They remain confident that the outcome of sucii a
discussion of the Details OF the settlement will re-
suit ia securing ''pssce with honor" between ths
State of Virginia aud her creditors holding the
