THE Dl b. MATTER.

"The degree or report submitted by
Special Master Charles E. Littleheld
in the Virginia West Virginia debt case
is all that we expected or desired" said
Judge Samuel w. Williams, Attorney
General, "snl to judge FROM the re-
ports of the papers in West Virginia the
report is far less satisfactory there than
here. All that have to say is that the
lawyers in the case, representing Viz
ginia, will see that her interests are pro-
tected as far as possible"
Judge Williams eaid that conference
had been held here on Saturday, at
which was present all the members OF the
counsel for the certificate holders of
Virginia West Virginia, except that
Major Holmes Conrad, OF Winchester,
was not in attendance.
Virginia and West Virginia have till
April 10Th In which to file objections and
exceptions to the report, and there is
general belief tba: West Virginia will
open her strongest arguments against
the consideration of the report. 1t IS
not known that Virginia will have a
word to say in connection with the mat
ter, except in SO far as the objections to
be filed by West Virgin may affect the
State of Virginia. Virginia will be rep
resented by counsel but it is Impossible
at this time to say who will go to Wash
