JAPANESE JURIST LECTURES
X. Hatoyama, Distinguished Oriental,
Delivers t1>e E+e.rs Looturo Course
Before the Law School.
(By Associated Press.)

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 11.-The
storrs course of lectures in the Yale law
school has been opened by X. Hatoya-
ma, the distinguished Japanese lawyer
and former legislator whose D"hjeot
Was the civil code of Japan. Mr. Ha-
toyama is here to attend the bicenten-
nial of Yale and to receive the degree of
LII. D.
Mr.. Hatoyama referred to the basis q,
the Japanese code, taken largely from
the basic principles of the Frenc code.
About three years ago it was adopted.
It's workings are therefore new but it's
philosophy is regarded as correct The
entire educa tional system has been
reformed and modernized, so the law of
the empire has been completely revolu
tionized. The Japanese law had grown
old and it absolutely lacked unity. But
the empire had outgrown it,
The new code recognized no privileged
class but made all equal before the
courts and the laws failure to see that
fact and accommodate themselves to it,
had led to trouble for some foreigners
who claimed a special immunity, in the
case of some English subjects that led
to friction now and then.

BURLINGTON TO EXTEND LINE
The Burlington Company to Connect
With Senator Clark's Los Angeles
Road
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago. Oct. 1.-THE Post today says:
Positive and authoritative confirmation
has been given of reports that the Bur-
lngton will extend it's lines from
GueTnsy, Wyoming. to Salt Lake City,
Utah, to connect with the san Pedro,
Los Angeles and salt Lake road.
The line will be built by an independent
company, but members of it will be di-
rectly allied with the Burlington. For all
practical purposes the new line will be
part of the Burlington system and there
is no doubt that it will be Incorporated
in with the present company ultimately.
1t is also likely, through more distant
prospect. that Senator Clark's road will
come into the Burlington family.

M0NTANA's IRRIGATION CANAL
Opening Of Canal System in District
No. in the Dearborn Valley
Celebrated.
(By Associated Press.)

Helena, Mont, Oct. 11.-What seems
to be a good beginning in the solution
of a great arid land problem was made
yesterday by the state of Montana. The
state arid land grant commission, which
was created by the Legislature with
power to reclaim lands donated to the
state by the general government by the
Carey act, celebrated the opening of the
great canal system in District No 4.
There were present. besides members
of the commission and other state OFF,
cials. members of the press including u
representative Of the Associated Press
and many representative engineers and
business men.
The canal, which is intended to irri-
gate $4,000 acres of the Carey land, was
opened and the water sent on its mis-
sion of making homes for the small
farmer. The district No. 4 comprises
$4,000 acres of splendid land in the
beautiful Dearborn valley, in the north
ern portion Of Lewis and Clarke coun-
ty, of which Helena is the county seat.
The state proposes to sell this land in
tracts of 100 acres to actual settlers at
only the cost OF placing water upon the
land. giving ten years for payment in
ten annual payments at per cent in
terest. Eleven thousand acres are now
ready for settlement and it is fair to
say there is no more delightful spot in
the Rocky mountain region. The pie
tureSque main range of the Rockies
skirt the western edge of the valley and
abounds in grand scenery, fish and all
kinds of game and timber and the land
lies in small valleys surrounded by low
lying hills that supply rich grass for
stock.
The state is building the canal sys-
TEN and will own and operate it in
perpetuity for the sole benefit of the
occupants of the land and without profit
to anyone, making the enterprise en-
tirely cooperative in nature. This is
the first irrigating canal on the Ameri-
can continent to be built and operated
by state government and undoubtedly
works an epoch in the great irrigation
work.

The motive power is supplied by two

CECIL RHODES CONTRIBUTION
Alleged That British Control in South
Africa Was Condition of Cecil's
Opening the ''Barl."
Ny A ssociated PresS.)


New York. Oct 1.-THE text of the
correspondence between Cecil Rhodes
and the Gladstonian party managers is
in the possession of the Spectator and
will be published today (Friday), says
the London correspondent of the Tri-
bune.
1t is learned from those who have seen
it. that it confirms substantially the
original statement made by Charles w.
Boyd respecting Mr.. Rhodes ccntribu
ton to the political fund of the liberal
party after the occupation of Egypt 1t
proves that Mr. Rhodes. in dealing with
the liberals, threw out an anchor to
windward. as he had done in contribut
ing to the Irish campaign fund, and
that the retention of British control in
Egypt was one of the conditions of the
gift as the maintenance of imperial con-
nection had been when the subscription
was made for the benefit of the Irish
cause.
Mr.. Boyd drew this parallel, apparent
ly, for the sake Of removing uniOnst
prejudces against Mr.. Rhodes, on ac
count of his home rule subscriptions.
The Spectator extracted larger infer
ences from the matter than the facts
warranted and Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman made so sweeping a denial
that Mr. Rhodes ought to influence the
minister's but not to brbe them with
patry subscription, and t.lut Mr.
Schnadhorst replenished the party chest
with a good conscience because the as
surance asked for respecting Egypt was
easily obtained.
The party managers methods Of filing
the campaign chest We're not discussed
in the cabinet. but Lord Roseberry and
other leaders WerS aware of tho cOndi-
tons of Mr.. Rhodes subscription.

England VIII Build Largest warships In

The British admiralty has decided
to build two battleships. which are in
tended to be the largest in the world
The distinction of having the largest
warships has hitherto been held by
Italy, with the Sepanto nd her sister
ship, the Italia. Great Britan's two
projected large warships, to be re-
spectively named the Queen and the
Prince of Wales, will be 1000 tons
heavier than the Italian ships men
toned reaching the enormous dis
placement of $4,000 tons. which is
$500 heavier than Americas biggest
armor-clad vessel These tremendous
British vessels will carry nothing larg-
er than Pinch guns. Their batteries
will be composed chiefly of these guns
and of 7.5-inch and 6-inch guns. The
determination to increase the bulk of
the battleships only was arrived at
after much discussion, for since the
days OF the Royal Sovereign (of 14,15O
tons) the admiralty has been inclined
to favor battleships of smaller dis
placement of which the Canopus (of
1880 tons) is the best type.
