WASHINGTON. Aug. is.--Thero "a food
reason to believe that the Chinese Govern
Tnent will shortly make demand on both
Russia and Japan for damages sustained
by Chinese citizens In Manchuria during the
operations there Of the armies OF tho two
belligerent nations. ..

Pskin 10 likely TO make it, claims soon
after tho peaoe negotiations between Russia
and Japan are concluded Tho amount
Of tho claim u matter Of pure speculation,
although that It will be very large 10
beyond doubt.
Tho crops OF two seasons have boon
ruined for the Chinese who live within the
hostile zone IN Manchuria, and many Of
them are destitute. The Chinese Govern
mont. II h believed hero. will hold both
belhgeronts liable for tho damages sus-
tained by IT. oiti1ens, although tho demands
on tho Japanese may be smaller than those
on the Russians, inasmuoh - It IL by virtue
Of the Japanese operations, that Man
ohuria will be returned unenoumbered to
China In Case q peace is made at Ports
mouth.
The war zone during the last eighteen
months has been entirely In Chinese tori
tory, and untold damage has resulted to
the most fertile and BEST titled section OF
Manchura. -.tt
When the railroad reaching from Hardin
southwark to Port Arthur was built the
surveys were made with . view that tho
line should traverse the richest part Of
ManchudA. For this reason the claim which
may be made will be larger than II tho
operations by the armies Of the two oosIn-
tries had been confined to some other 500
ton Of the Chinese Empire.
There arc IL. 0oO. 900 Chinese In Manohuria,
or rather there wore before the war broke
out. While 1t cannot be said that all Of these
suffered from tbs war the number that did
sustain damage win reach into the hundreds
Of Thousands, according to those vol posted
on the situation.
During The fighting Of The last year and

been destroyed and China desires reim-
bursement. although tho Government at
Pekin II not at all sure Of getting 1t. even II

FAR REACHING CANAL OPINION.
Attorney-General Holds That Towns Must
Bridge Canalized Rivers.

UTICA; N. Y; Aug. lo.-Several months
ago the authorities Of this city were for
mally notified that the new channel OF the
Mohawk River, constructed at cost

nearing completion, would DO utilized
by the State a. tho channel for the
proposed barge canal. As now bridges
will have to be constructed across the river
forthwith the city hit upon tho plan OF In
viting the States financial cooperation In
the building Of the costly steel structures.
InsaInuch as the bridges would span the
new barge canal eventually the State agreed
to the 81 ggestion that 1t bear half the Ok.
pense and the State Engineer prepared
plans and arranged to advertise for bids
next week.
To-day, however. comes the announce
ment that Attarney- General Mayer holds
that 1t will be illegal for the State to pay
for the construction Of the proposed bridges.
He reached the conclusion on the basis
that the Mohawk River Is public highway.

the bridges are to be located and not 9

the State. This decision IL set forth In an
opinion which he has rendered to State

probably be followed by the State Canal
Board. but the question involved will un-
doubtedly be carried into the courts for
final determination, as It will Affect every
bridge which it may be necessary to oon-
struot across the Mohawk River In oonneo-
ton with the building Of the barge canal.
Il has been understood heretofore that
in the laws already passed for the con-
struction Of the barge canal there is
abundant authority for the State to proceed
to erect all the bridges that will be neoee-
sary to cross the canalized river throughout
the long section Of the Mohawk Valley,
where the barge canal and the river be-
come one.
Not only Is this decision q matter Of great
Importance to Utica, but to many other
places along the line Of the proposed camel.
II the law holds good that all the towns
along the Mohawk have to erect such
bridges as the State shall direct over the
canalized Mohawk River. then It will be
necessary for the towns and municipalities
west Of Oneida Lake along Oneida and
Senaca rivers to erect such bridges as
shall be deemed necessary there.

What is the matter with our high

year? We understand that there has
not been class properly graduated
since 1902.
Invitations are arriving from differ
ent parts Of the State for Commence

of graduates in each instance and we
are at a loss to understand why Car
