Illinois War Claims.

Washington special: The comptroller of the treasury has reopened the claim of the state of Illinois for interest paid and discounts on account of bonds issued by the state for raising funds for arming, equipping, etc., troops for the service of the United States during the civil war and for expenses incurred in negotiating the sale of the bonds. The comptroller reverses the former decision made in 1889 and finds that there is due the state $774,650, which will be certified to congress for an appropriation.
