WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Eforts have
been made recently to establish the
priority of admission into the Union of
one of the Dakotas. 1t now t~ranspires
that no IL knows which was admitted
first. On Saturday the president received
from the state department. the two proc

his signature. The question of priority
at once canle up and it was found to be
difficult to decide. After some debate
the two documents, unlocked at, were
laid face downward on the desk on a
sheet of paper and then they were
shutfled together. When this stage of
the game had been reached the procla-
nations We're turned face upward and
