MATTER OF INTEREST.
Decision FavOrs West Virginia as to
Investigation of Offset Claim Of
That State.

Richmond, June 9.-The United
States Supreme Court, in decision
rendered yesterday, added tangle to
the West Virginia debt litigation by
referring the new claims of West
Virginia for a share in Virgnla's as
sets to a master in chancery for IN
vestigation and report. At the same
time, the court took the determina-
ton of the amount of interest owed
by West Virginia on her share Of the
state debt in 1863 out of the
hands of the two State commissions
and referred it also to the master for
settlement.
This decision, according to Attor-
ney General Pollard, means simply
that the Supreme Court deems West
Virginia's new claims worthy Of m
vestigation. This is in a measure a
victory for West Virginia, but the
reference of the interest question to
the master is distinct victory for
Virginia in that it is a recognition of
the validity of Virginia's claim for
interest, claim which the West Vir-
ginia Debt Commission refused to al
low in it's conferences with the Vlr-
ginia commission.
Charles E. Littlefeld, of New York,
who originally heard the evidence in
the litigation and established West
virginia's portion of the State debt
in 1863, was named yesterday as the
master to investigate the new evi-
dence and determine the amount OF
interest due. He is to report to the
court at the fall term.
According to the figures submitted
to the Supreme Court in March by
the West Virginia commission, the l'a-
bilities of the Commonwealth of Viz
ginia in 1863 amounted to SSo'563'-
SCI Sc. and the assets to S2O,S1O,-
3579s These assets, West Virginia
claim. took the shape Of stocks, bonds,
securities and other property acquired
out of the common funds OF the old
Commonwealth prior to the dissolution
Since the court fixed the equltaple
nronortions of the two States in the
debt at 76 per cent for Virginia ano
% ner cent for West Virginia, then
the same ratio should obtain IN the
division Of the common assets, claims
West Virginia.
On this basis of computation Wes'
virgipia'sportion of the $2O,Slc.3o7.'
90 of assets of the old Commonwealth
would amount to s4,S55,312.1S. This
asserts West Virginia, should be de-
drcted from its apportioned share Of
the liabilities, s7,1s2,5o7.46, leavinl
an excess of s2,s27,1s5.2s of liablli
a;es M over assets. This s2,327,195.2S, i
! is claimed, represents West Virginia
real debt to Virginia.
II is this newly raised question OF
division Of the old Commonwealth
t,rsets which will be determined D.

In a series of decisions yesterday
the Supreme Court outlined material
which court attendants said might
advantageously be embodied in new
textbook on the power {: of Congress
to regulate interstate commerce. The
Shreveport rate case was the most
important and far reaching, and at
.tracted the most attention. The
other cases which led the court to
analyze and discuss the powers con-
ferred on Congress under the COM
merce clause of the Constitution
were the Los Angeles switching case
and the Georgia headlight case. The
opinions were construed to be an IN
vitation to Congress TO go further
than it has in regulating traffic even
within a State where it has a bearing
upon Interstate commerce.
