Chinese Language Difficulties.

From the Contemporary Review.
The dialects or languages Of the Chi

similar. Thus a Chinese speaking the
dialect of the Kwangtung Canton) prov

Shanghai would be quite strange to the
people residing at Picking.
The written characters of Chinese are.
however. understood and recognized by
sight throughout the whole empire in

throughout Europe, but as these numerals
when pronounced or read, have entirely
different sounds attached to them in
England, France. Germany. Italy. ETC..
80 the Chinese written characters are
spoken in totally different words and
sounds in the several provinces of China,
with, however, the important exception
that the Mandarin language is spoke n
or understood more or less. throughout

west of the river Yangtze.

written, and there Is a good deal of col

OF the Bible in the local patois have also
been produced in several districts of the
southeast. where the dialects are very
numerous and diverse.
In the Chinese written language there
are Ger 10000 distinct characters or SYM

stantly increased by the addition of new
characters to represent new scientific

CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES
BEFORE UNION STATION GRADE
DAMAGE COMMISSION.

The Union station grade-damage com.
mission. composed of Charles \. Baker
George W. Moss and George Spransy. has
concluded its hearings in the matter OF
the claims for damages filed by the own
ers of the real estate on the west side OF
North Capitol street between f and F
streets, in square 62S. and certain prop
erty on the south side of Massachusetts
avenue, in square GIG. The commission
was occupied with the hearing of testi-
mony and arguments In the case for
about three weeks.
Counsel for the claimants contended that
the property mentioned has been damaged
by the ..fill'' made in North Capitol street
and in Massachusetts avenue by the Dis
trict Commissioners In connection Win
the establishment of the plaza in front OF
the new Union station. and urged the
commission to return appraisements IN
favor of their clients. The property on
North Capitol street is owned by the An
heuser-B Busch Brewing Company and by
Albert Carry, and about two-thirds OF the
property was purchased by the present
owners after the fill was made IN North
Capitol street The property in Massa-
chusetts avenue under consideration is
owned by Mrs. Ella E. Steele.
Attorneys Alexander II. Bell, Joseph A.
Burkart, J. ]. Darlington and Edwin For
rest appeared for the property owners,
while A. Leftwich Sinclair. special attor-
ney for the District. represented the gov
eminent.
Attorney Sinclair combatted the argu-
ments of the claimants counsel as to the
property having been damaged by the
change of the grades of the streets and
maintained that while the improvements
on the land of the petitioners have been
practically destroyed by the fill in ques-
ton. the benefits and advantages which
have resulted to the ground by reason of
the establishment of the Union station
and the improvements incidental thereto
are very great and more than compensate
for the value of the improvements and
any other damage which may nave oeen
suffered by the property owners. He &C
cordinglv asked the commission to return
Advertisements in favor of the govern
ment.
In appraisng the damages alleged to
have resulted to property on account OF
changes of street grades the commission
is required by the act of Congress under
which it was appointed to take into con-
sideration any and all benefits and advan-
tages that may have accrued TO such prop
erty by reason of the elimination of grade
railroad station and terminals and all
works. buildings and improvements au-
thoriZed.
1t is thought the commission will report
it's findings to the court within the next
few days.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROANOKE, Va, March 2S.-As indi-
Gated by The Star. the feature of yester-
days proceedings at the Baltimore con-
ference was the discussion of the owner
ship of Randolph Macon College and its
academies.
At 10 o'clock Rev. DR.. Sherman. chair
man of the board of education. submitted
the report Of the board. DR.. Sherman
prefaced the report by saying his views
had undergone change. He now de-
sires the matter to stand as 1t is, giving
the board of trustees of the college the
right of sef-perpetuation, and not allow
ing the conference the right of nominal
ing trustees. DR.. Sherman said that this
was practically the unanimous wish of
the board of education. This would let
the property question remain as it has
been.
Rev DR.. Denny followed in a powerful
appeal to the conference to pass the res
oiutions. which. If adopted would stop
the college from benefiting by the Car
negie provision. DR.. Denny showed that
by the laws of Virginia church property
was not owned by denominations. as 1t
ought to be. and he wanted to protest and
get some legal enactment which would
not "shut churches out to the outer dark
ness of non-existence."
Contend for the Board.
Judge Newman and Judge Wood. men,
bers of the board of trustees, followed in
strong speeches, contending that the
board would see the denomination righted.
and that If the resolutions were passed
they would reflect upon the integrity of
the trustees Of the college.
The hour of adjournment stopped the
discussion, which will be continued today.
The conference was invited by DR.. w.
w. Smith to visit the Woman's College
at Lynchburg. and at 1 o'clock a special
train was placed at the disposal of the
ministers. A large number went on the
excursion.
Rev. F. L.. Day. professor in George
Washington University, and Mr.. w. w.
MILAN of Washington are visitors at the
conference.
Several important churches in the body
will make unexpected changes. and big
surprises are in store in the appointments
Rev. Dr. j. r. Nelson addressed the
conference Thursday night on the impor-
lance of Christianizing immigrants. He
showed by an array of statistics that the
church membership is not keeping pace
with foreign residents in this country
He recommended larger and more at
tractive downtown" churches, in order
to hold and influence foreign-bor citi-
zens.
The classes for admission on trial and
ordination to deacons orders were passed
by the examining board.
About $3.50 was raised Thursday night
for improving mission property in Japan.
Bishop Wilson paid his respects to Mark
Twain and other critics of foreign mis-
sions by asserting that they did not know
what they were talking about. The bish-
OPP spoke for an hour on the theme of the
progress and success OF Christianity in
the orient.
