QUIET ELECTION
 HELD YESTERDAY The Democratic Ticket Had No
 Opposition ONLY 261 VOTESWERE CAST Mayor Drennen Reelected and Nine Aldermen, Also Three Members of the Police commission-No
 Great Interest Taken.
ONLY 261 VOTESWERE CAST

A Mayor and nine Aldermen and three members of the police commission were elected yesterday, but it is doubtful if one person in every ten knew an election was being held. There were no carriages with flying banners or streamers proclaiming the fact that an election was being held, and there was apparently no effort made to get the votes out
 Out of total voting strength of 5000, less than 1000 persons registered. and only 261 of these went to the polls. There was but one ticket in the field, which accounts for the lack of interest.
 This was the first time in the history of the city of Birmingham that so little interest was manifested in a municipal election. The Democratic ticket, selected by primary election. had no opposition, and received the entire vote cast.
 The 261 votes were boiled in the differ ent wards as follows: First 23; second 24: third "A: fourth 15; fifth "A; sixth 30: seventh 19: eighth 20. and ninth 32.
 The ticket as elected was the follow ing.
 For Mayor-W. M. Drennen.
 For Alderman First Ward-J. G. Green CT.
 For Alderman Second ward-George B. Ward.
 For Alderman Third Ward-D. R. Cope land
 For Alderman Fourth Ward-John R. Copeland.
 For Alderman Fifth ward-w. R. Gum.
 For Alderman Sixth Ward-John J. Alt man.
 For Alderman Seventh Ward-R. H. Thach.
 For Alderman Eighth ward-Henry B. Gray.
 For Alderman Ninth Ward-A. Stock mar.
 For Police Commissioners-J. H. Mc- Cary z. T. Rudolph and James D. Scott.
 The Mayor and new Board of Aldermen will take the oath of office on the evening of the 18th, and then the years work will begin.

CLAIM VICTORIA FLAG.
Lady Churchill and Owner Baker Are
 in Dispute.

London. May GA dispute has arisen as to the ownership of the flag which Queen Victoria presented to the hospital ship Maine. Mrs. George Cornwallis- West Gady Randolph ChurchilD asserts that it belongs to her. and Bernard Baker owner of the vessel. de- clares that 1t Is his property. The flag is now in Lady Randolph's pos- session. It seems that while the Maine was still in service as a hospital ship, MT. Baker gave orders that the flag should be surrendered to no one without an order from himself. The officer in charge of the ship few days later sent it to Lady Ran dolph upon her written request. He was dismissed for disobedience. and MT. Baker requested Lady Randolph to return the flag to him, which she. in spite of moro importunate requests and demands. has failed to do.S
 Lady Randolph claims the lag as her own, but has intimated her willingness to send 1t to the United States government to be placed as a relic in some national museum.
