For Their FavoriIe.
An unique election is taking place today
in the public schools. Last year an elec-
tlon OF a similar nature occurred and re-
suited in the choice of the maple as the
State tree. This year the election Is for
state flower. The contest this year prom
ises to be very interesting, as the choice OF
flower Is much more varied than 1t was in
the choice OF State tree. 1t is a question
which flower will be the choice as each
scholar has its particular flower.

of the United States circuit court here
nearly a year ago in one of the suits
brought by the United States against
the North American Commercial COM
pany awarded the government S107,-
257.29 as rentals and royalties for seal
ing privileges on the Pribylov islands,
Alaska. during the year 1894.
The company set up a counter claim
Of $2s0,000, which they claim had been
lost by an order OF the secretary Of the
treasury restricting the seal catch that
year to 1900 head. 1t was claimed that
the provisions Of the revised statutes
which applied to a lease prior to 1894
allowed a catch of 100000 and that the
secretary Of the treasury had no right
to issue the order.
The matter was carried to the United
States circuit court of appeals, which
has referred the question Of the coun-
ter claim to the United States supreme
court for instructions and refused to
