From what was learned here to-day,
action Is soon 10 be taken by the Sem
ate on the claim Of the Virginia Mill
tary Institute against the government
for the burning Of It's buildings and
equipment in June. 1864. by Federal
forces. The bill recently introduced
by Senator Dupont, OF Delaware. 10

the sum of 100000 for the loss sus-
tanned is now pending before sub
committee of the Senate Committee on
Claims. and this committee will make
its report prbbably during the next
few days
When inquiry was made concerning
the status of the claim to-day by The
Times-Dispatch correspondent. il was
stated that good progress was being
made inasmuch as the subcommittee
now has the matter under Amusement.
and will probably make its report very
soon.
IL was also learned that there prob
ably will be no public hearings The
reason for this is manifest, Senator Du-
pont. author of the bill, having been
present at the burning of the build
ings. there could be no better evidence
introduced than for him TO tell what
happened This he has done 10 the
members OF the committee not familiar
with the matter.
In addition to this. Senator Martin
knows all the facts so well that II is
believed there is no reason to bring
on a delegation of persons interested
in V NJ. l., as that could shed no more
light on the claim that is already In
possession Of the committee. IL Is quite
likely that Senator Martin will be able
10 have the bill favorably reported ana
passed within the near future
