THE RIVERINA CLAIM.

1 NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY. By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyrteht Melbourno, July 5. The Victorian Government, in making its claims against New South Wales to tho possession of the Riverina, was inspired by tho victory which it obtained over South Australia in the recent dispute relating to a stretch of territory on the eastern boundary of the State. The matter is not taken very seriously here. Ir. somo quarters it! is looked upon as a revival of an old story with a view to obscure electoral issues at the forthcoming elections. AN OLD MATTER REVIVED. Sydney, July 5. Victoria's claims to the Riverina is a revival of an old matter. The feeling in political circles hero is that it has small chanco of succeeding. Tho letter making the claim suggests that the true construction of tho Imperial statute fixing tho boundary between tho two States should bo definitely settled, and it invites tho attention of tho New South Wales Government to tho manner in which this can best bo done.
