WASHINGTON, d. c., November 2.-
Especial )-Comptroller Of the Treasury
Tracewen to-day rendered an opinion
that will make the claims presented by
Arkansas, Florida. Louisiana, North and
South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia,
for eauipping volunteer troops for the
Spanish war, Of no effect.
The States named are indebted to the
United States. it is alleged, in sums vary
ing from $4,000 10 $4,000 for bonds as
sumed by the United States in order TO
protect the Indians. for whom the States
named acted as trustees
The Comptroller decides that the
amounts claimed by these States for
money expended in equipping volunteers
Tor the war with Spain shall be credited
as part payments on their indebtedness
to the United States. The Comptroller
saws this is the only way the United
states can ever collect any part of the
money due on the Indian bonds, as a
state cannot be sued, and most of the
bonds matured years ago.
The Comptroller decides that the $1,000
which the government owes Virginia on
account of supplies furnished volunteer
troops shall be applied TO bonds of the
State held by the government, aggre-
eating $4,000, and another alleged debt
of $4,000. He also says the States of Nir-
einia. North Carolina, South Carolina,
Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee. and Texas
owe an aggregate of 81 NiS5,OO0, and that
they will be credited on the debts they
owe the government.

THE SCHEME MAY FALL THROUGH
Report That the Continental and

There was a good deal of talk in to-

the Continental Tobacco Company's
scheme for combining large plug facto-
ries throughout fhe country, so as to
control this business as the American
Company does the cigarette business,
may fall through.
The hitch is said to be due TO hesi-
fancy on the part of the American Com
pany to release its plugmal<ing plants,
and a meeting Of the company will, 1t is
said. be held early in December, at which
this question will be considered. 1t IS
