He has asked tho AUornev-Ueueral for an opinion as to tho validity of the claim, and that official will ((ive answer in a dav or so. The whiskey houses having claims against the State are of course anxious that this school claim be recognized in the same class witt) theirs, ss in that ease the whiskey people will get only about .'ai coots on the dollar. Still lt is known that at least two members of the oom mission of rive favor paying the school fund as other just olaimants will be recognized.
