MONEY Net TO BE PAID.
Southern States Will Have Credit
Against Their Indebtedness.

Controller Tracewell of the treasury has
decided that the treasury must not pay to
the state of Virginia the amount of money
expended by that state in equipping volun-
teer troops for the war with Spain. In
stead, the money will be placed in the
treasury and crsdited to what Virginia is
said to owe the United States. 1t is said
the same action will be taken as to other
southern states which are indebted to the
government.
Virginia's claim was for nearly $1,000, and
1T had bean approved by Secretary Alger.
Mr.. Tracewel holds that the United States
purchased bonds of the state of Virginia to
the amount of 1893 600. These bonds were
never paid, and interest was never paid.
AS Judgment could not be obtained against
Virginia, Mr.. Tracewell holds that the
amount now due the state should be
credited.
Many years ago, before the war; in fact
the United States bought the bonds of
number OF southern states and held them
In trust for Indians. The bonds were not
paid. Virginia claims that the United
States owes her an amount in excess of the
bonds on account Of. money furnished in the
war of 1872. -si..,<
1t is probable that a bitter fight will be
provoked In Congress-. and that special leg
islation will be asked to repay the states.

LOWER COURT SUSTAINED.
DECISION of Court of Appeals in Nc
Canrey VIII Case.

The Court of Appeals this afternoon
handed down an opinion in the case of Liz
zie Manogue and James B. McCaffrey. ap-
pellants, against John E. Herrell and Pat
rick Maloney, affirming the judgment OF
the lower court, with costs. The opinion
was written by Mr.. Justice Shepard
The case was an appeal from Judgment
admitting to probate the last will and tes-
lament of Hugh McCaffrey, who died in
the District of Columbia, where he had re-
sided for years about March 8, 1897.
The testator left five children and a
grandson, who was the son of a deceased
daughter, each of whom he devised specific
parts of his estate, which consisted almost
entirely of improved real estate in this city.
The devise to his daughter, Mary Quigley,
apparently comprised the most valuable
part of the estate. When the will was
offered for probate. four Of the children -
Lizzie Monogue, James B. McCafrey, Will
liam H. McCaffrey and F. T McCaffrey-
Joined in a caveat in opposition thereto
The executors named in the will, John
Z. Herrell and Patrick Maloney, and Mary
A. Quigley, the principal devisee. answered
the caveat, and issues were promptly form
ed and transmitted for trial by Jury in the
Circuit Court
The lower court directed the jury to an
swer certain questions put to it in the
negative and therefore in favor of the
caYeatees The appeal was then taken
The Court of Appeals, in its opinion.
holds that aside from the fact that the tes-
tator was about eighty-five years old when
he made the will, and that it contains an
unequal distribution of his estate among
his children there is nothing to raise the
SiighteSt suspicion of unfairness.
