tanned by il by reason of the United States
having prevented the company from taxi
ing any fur seals on the Pribylof Islands.
in Alaska, during the year ended April 1.
1894. The claim is rejected not on its
merits, but on the ground that the auditor
has no jurisdiction to hear and audit
claims for unlimited damages such as tp-
pears in this claim. 4 long line of auth Dr-
tues in support of this ruling is cited.
This claim was rejected some time ago by
the courts, on the ground that ii first must
be submitted to the treasury accounting
officers for their decision. The auditors
ruling, therefore. will probably result in
the case being again sent 10 the courts.
