Bad for JaDan.

Washington, March 26.-The news
of the assault on Ii Hung Chang
caused a sensation in diplomatic cir
cles in this city. Cases where an ell
voy Of any kind have been assaulted
in the country to which he is accredit-
cd are rare, and those in which a
peace commissioner is attacked are
almost unheard of in modern days.
The opinion here is that Japan will
suffer greatly as consequence of the
assault, and that the position of
China. will be so strengthened that
she may be able to secure better terms
of peace than she could otherwise
have hoped for.

In the mind Of the governor, after
due and careful examination Of all
the possibilities of income for the
state, this cut Is absolutely necessary
in order to carry the credit of the
state safely through. Every item in
each appropriation which it was
thought could be gotten along without
has been stricken out. The heaviest
cuts were those of the state UNIVERSE
ty and normal school appropriations,
and it has but one meaning-the prac-
teal closing Of these institutions. The
appropriation left for the three is just
about enough to close up the school
year, and beyond that it will not 60.
In the penitentiary and state asylum
appropriations also the cut will neces-
state the most rigid economy. Some
officials and positions in the two win
have to be altogether dispensed with
and the salaries of guards and en-
ployes will also be reduced to meet
the cut. The most intense interest
has prevailed all through the state for
the past two weeks as to the probable
fate Of some of the institutions. Espe-
cially has this been SO in Grand Forks
and at Mayville and Valley City,
where the schools are located.
