TOSS PREDICTS
 4 REPLACEMENT

Holyoke, Mass, March GA realign- ment of political parties in this country was predicted by Governor Eugene N. F oss in an address before the Holyolze Board of Trade tonight. This would come, he said, as a, result of the failure of--the.T Senate to pass the Mccall reef procity7 bill
 ''The action of the republican Senate, said Governor Foss, ''in rejecting this opportunity to carry out the principles of its party platform. the request of it's President and wishes of the people; it's support of Lorimer and it's opposition to other progressive measures of legislation but-emphasizes the necessity of securing legislation that will 1nake the senators more responsible for public sentiment by their election by direct vote of the peo- pie. Republican leaders by their action have sounded their own death knell.
 Tt 'means,-ain my judgment, a realign- ment of parties. This in fact already is going. or.-4The- only thing that the pro gressive wing of the republican party can do is to join hands with the progress sive wing of the democratic party and se- cure legislation that will be in the inter ests of all the people and not of special privileges"
 The governor asserted the United States 'has much to gain and nothing to lose from reciprocity with Canada.

STATE MUST PAY SEVEN MILLIONS Supreme Court Settles Vir-
 ginia Debt Case WAS A BIG PROBLEM Court Figured Old Virginia State Debt Should Be Paid on Ratio
 of Each States Personal
 Property

Washington, March 6.-Sitting in tho unusual capacity of a board of auditors the supreme court of the United Statei computed that the state of West Nir- gnia was under obligations to pay ovei s7,000,O00 of the s3s ,000,0OO debt of Virginia which existed when the new state was formed It was the biggest problem in arithmetic the supreme court has had to handle in many years.
 The only opinion announced by the court was in the Virginia debt case The tribunal without announcing al opinion, concluded that the court did not have jurisdiction to pass on suit brought by the yicksbWg Waterworks company for an injunction to prevent the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad company installing private water works plant within the city of Vieks- burg, Miss.
 The sum of $71S2,50 was held today by the supreme court of the United States to be the proportion of the s3S,OO0,oOO old Virginia state debt which West Virginia is under obligations to bear.
 The court left the final determination of the matter, including the question Of interest, to the two states to decide by conference.
 The ratio of the valuation of the real and personal property of the two states at the time of their separation was taken as the proper basis for arriving at West Virginia's just and equitable proportion lnl,t a1t of cla tra c excluded. This ratio was determined as .765 to .295.
 The $3s, 1000 debt would have been divided according to this ratio, said MT. Justice Holmes, had not Virginia, by subsequent legislation, changed the amount to be apportioned. Virginia in duced it's creditors to accept $22000,000 as it's share of the debt, whereas, by the courts figures, Virginia's share would ne s25 500o, 900. The difference between the two sums, 8, ,000.OO0 should be subtracted from the sS3, 100000 debt, leaving $30 100000 to apportioned. West yirginia's share of this would be $7,1S2, 5o7. said the justice.
 Commenting on the width of the suit and the serious differences interposed by the contenders, including the matter of interest money, Justice Holmes says:
 we think 1t best at this stage to go no further, but to await the effect of q conference between the parties which, whatever the outcome, must take place. . Ever since the civil war the common wealth of Virginia has been endeayor- ing to collect from West Virginia what it claimed was the latter's share of the old states debt West Virginia was said to have acknowledged her liability.
 Finally, because the payment was not made Virginia brought suit in the su- preme court for about one-third of the state debt, as of January l. 1861, estimated then to be about s3S,e90900.
