MONEY FOR THE WAR COTTON
Decisions Expected ia October as to
Southern war Claims on Captured Cotton

Washington, D. G., July 18 -
That the Court of Claims will
pass Judgement on several South.
ern war claims cases which will
serve as tests for many similar
claims is now believed certain,
and the decisions are expected in
October, The claims have drag
glng along for years. A fund of
IS 600, Zoo is available for the
payment of the claims if they are
found tanable. This fund is the
remainder of nearly twenty seven
million dollars by the sale of cap,
tured cotton and other effects,
More than 1000 cases are pend
iag. and scores of letters received
Al the Treasury Department. indi.
cate that several Thousand more
cases have been decided.
It appears from the tone Of she
lesters that there, is a general mis-.
Outstanding as to vths amount
Of money held by the Treasury
Departments for the settlement of
these claims Some persons have
the id "a that $4,000. 900 is 10
the vaults ready for distribution
when the rightful owners are
found. The Treasury officials say
they are holding in round figures
81, W O for distribution when
the validity of the claims has been
esta bllshed.
One official went into detail as
to how the Treasury came into
possession of the fund. Congress
he said, in 1858 authorize the
Secretary of the Treasury to ap-
point special agents to collecs
captured and abandoned property
in the states where rebellion exis-
ted. All th( property collected
by them aud not returned to the
owners was sold and the funds
sent to the Treasury. A fund of
$26, 1887, ,5S4 80 was accumulated.
After the civil war ended, on
August 20. 1886. two years we're
all we'd for the presentation and
payment of claims. in which time
payments amounting to 50. 1854. :.
80O.75 were made. Addit onal
payments have heed made from
time to time under special and
private acts of Congress. At var
ious times hundreds of claims
have been disallowed because the
the Confederacy records in the
possession Of the Treasury De.
partmeDt show that the goods
were sold to the Confede1acy be-
fore their capture.
The total amount represented
by the pending claims greatly ex
ceeds the amount held. AS re.
suit the Treasury Department is
actively engaged in searching re-
cords and preparing data to in
sure = proper distribution.

hand the conditions may be such
that 1T is desirable to carry along
this material in order to deposit
i5 whers there are depression in
the roads surface. An intelli-
CANT operator will soon learn
naany ways of controlling the &C.
tlcn of the drag. The length of
the hitchlng chain. the disposi-
ton of the operator's weight, the
t n,e whom 5ne dragging is done,
ali these exert marked influence
upon the results.
AS to the time for dragging. q
safe rue to follow -is TO drag the
road when she material oompos
ing the surface oontaing sufficient
moisture to compact readily, but
is not sufficiently wet for traffic
- pr rodnce mud,
Since the weather plays so i'm
portant part in the matter. it is
not usually possible to arrange
continuous employment for teams
on the road. 1t is therefore de-
sirable, whenever possible, to
have the dragging done by persons
Interested in the road, who will
do 1t IN the intervals of othel
occupations.
