NO AMERICANS HURT.
United States Citizens Not Involved
in the Cbinese Riots


Through Consul General Goodnow the
State Department has been advised that
no Americans were involved in the re-
cent Chinese riots.
Following is the text of his message:
''Riots have occurred in the French pos
sessions. No Americans involved.
"GOODNOW."
This information is a source of great
relief to the Administration. The
United States is represented in Chinese
waters by but one gunboat, the Monoc-
acy, and she has been ordered TO cruise
between the various ports of China
where American citizens are located
with view to affording them every pos
sible protection in the event of further
disturbance.
Should it prove beyond the power of
the Monocacy to cope effectively with
the situation, the British government
will be asked to instruct the command
ing officers of its warships to protect ths
lives and property of our citizens

FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
Successful Lawn Party Given on
Capitol Hill Last Evening.

Another of the delightful lawn parties
devised by patriotic women was held last
evening on Capitol Hill. The credit for
the affair, which was given in aid Of
the wounded in the Chickamauga Hospi-
tails. is largely due TO Miss Jeanette Rob-
ertson. The spacious lawn surrounding
her home, No. Gas Pennsylvania Avenue,
southeast, was prettily decorated for the
occasion. Chinese lanterns and the ma
tional colors were everywhere in evidence
and the beauty of the grounds added to
the general effect.
There were a number of tables at which
delicious ices were served by a dozen or
more pretty women. Upon the shoulder
of each fair waitress a silk American flag
was draped.
Among those who assisted in making
the affair successful were the Misses
Robertson, Grinnell, Bradshaw, wooding-

sin, Great Britain. Japan, Brazil and
Canada, what is to prevent this coun.
try from asserting it superiority in
other industrial lines? asks the At
lanta Constitution. For example, in
view Of the almost unlimited resources
which this country possesses for ship
building, what Is to hinder the United
States, in the course OF time, from
successfully coping with Great Brit
ain? In response to this query, the
New York Journal Of Commerce says
when tho development of our own
country and the exploitation OF those
sources Of wealth which Providence
has placed us in possession of demand
the construction of ships on q scale
beyond that Of any other country we
shall build tho best ships for the
money that con be found anywhere.
With our vast domain the one me-
chanical appliance which more than
another we needed was the locomotive,
and we have developed that machine
till for most purposes our locomotives
are the best in the world. We have
more railroad mileage than all Europe,
and we have probably built more loco
motives than oil the rest Of the world.
II has not been o matter Of vital i'm
portance to US 70 develop shipbuild-
ing, and upon the sea We could not
avoid enoountering the competition Of
men willing to accept lower profits and
wages than we were willing TO accept.
Therefore, we have not attained that
pre-eminence In shipbuilding that we
have attained In steam and electric
railroad building and locomotive and
sleeping car building. We have de-
veloped along tho line marked out for
us by our surroundings, our political
needs and the best opportunities for
profit We may be on the point Of
adding shipbuilding for the world to
our other accomplishments" In view
of the enormous wealth which nature
has lavished upon this country, there
il no reason why the United States
should not enjoy the same prestige in
shipbuilding which she enjoys to-day
in other lines Of industry.
