Washington, May I 1.-Solicitor General Richards, on the opening of the Supreme Court next Monday, will take initiatory steps in actions against the States of North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and South Carofina to re cover the following sums alleged to be due the United States from these States, respectfully: $140,140, S20, 935, $54,220 and $248,750. These actions are instituted by the Attorney General at the request of the secretary of the Treasury, in ex ecution of the requirement of the 4th section of the Act of Congress, ap proved March 3, 1899, entitled "An Act to amend an Act to reinburso the Governors of the States and Tor ritories for expenses incurred by them in aiding the United 03tates to raise and organize, and supply and equip the vountoor army of the United States in the existing war with Spain" and authorizing the bringing of suits to collect claims3 against such States as are indebted to the government. The stocks and bonds which form the foundations of these proceedings are those which were originally held by the Secretary of the Interior, as trustee, for the benofit of certain Indian tribos, commonly known as the "Indian trust fund," the purchase whereof had been authorized by various Acts of Congress under vari ons treaties had with various Indian tribes. These stocks and bonds not having been paid at the resIpe3tive dates of their maturity, and the in terest thereon not having been paid, the Unmted States redeemned the same by paying to the Indian tribes the value thereof and sub)rogated itself to the rights of the Ind ians,and by the IndianAppropriation act of August15 1894, these bonds became the absoluteo property of the United States. It is to ehforce the payment of principaL4 aind interest. due upon these stacks and bonds that these suits have been instituted in the original jurisdic tion of the Supreme Court of thet United- States, that being, under the jConstitution of the United States, the only form in which the Federal Government can snu a State.r The Old Veterans are dropping off Srapidly now and none wants to fail ' to reet his comrades at the Confed Serate Reunion at Louisville, May u 80th June 3rd, specially when the ~ rates are so lo', as they are by the SEABOARD R'~I LINE RAIL WAY.
