THE NEW STAR BUILDING
COMMENTS BY THE NEWSPAPERS ON
THE STRUCTURE.
Washington Architecture.

From the Financial Review
The city of Washington is to be heartily
congratulated upon the completion, during
the last week. of the handsomest and most
complete newspaper building in the United
States.
The Washington Star has been for a num-
Der OF years a jealous advocate for reform
In the architecture OF our public and pri-
vate buildings. 1t has justly criticised our
new post office building a monstrosity in
architecture and a mass of engineering
bunders. What is true of our new post
ONCE building is also true of many OF
private residences and Office structures.
During the last few years a few buildings
nave been erected in Washington which
| compare most favorably with the very best
styles of architecture in America
until short time ago Washington was
noted for Its fncongruity of architecture.
Since then, however. several magnificent
architectural acquisitions have been added.
Washington, according to the Scientific
American. now possesses three of the TWEEN
ty most beautiful buildings in the United
States-name the Capitol, Congressional
Library and the Corcoran Art Gallery.
The efforts of our architects of late have
been for harmony of effect Although this
effect has not always been attained still
the results as whole have been a great
Improvement over that of ten years ago.
Our public buildings should be represent
alive types of what is best in architecture
1t Is certain there is begrudging of
money on the part of the peop'e for pro-
SUFFICIENT IuNQS PUBIC buildings
or structures Of an non-utilitarian charac-
ter. The general desire seems to be to make
all such buildings worthy of a great ma
ton.
We sincerely trust that our senators and
representatives will better appreciate the
energy. wealth and ambition of our public
spirited citizens in erecting such magnif-
cent structures in our city, of which The
Evening Star building is a most representa-
tive type, and endeavor in the future to
provide pubic buildings which shall add
to our credit and make Washington the
most beautiful city In the world
Inc completion of The Evening Star build
ing marks a new era In Washington archi-
lecture. 1t is a symbol in stone of what
great newspaper should be.
The new Hotel Raleigh. the LAFAYETTE
Theater, the Union Trust and Storage Com
pany building, the new Riggs National
Bank building, and the new Hotel vii ard
the last three in course of erection. to-
gether with the new Evening Star building
are among the very best examples of mod
ern architecture in Washington. 1t is the
opinion of several leading architects that
washington now compares most favorably
with the five leading cities in the United
States In point of architectural beauty
While every stye of architecture has been
drawn upon, 1t has resulted in giving us
the very best of every school.
The erection of such fine class Of build
ings during the last few years proves con-
clusivey what faith our financiers and
journalists have in the future of our city.

High Ideal.

The Washington Star is to be congratu-
lated upon having moved into its new
quarters. The marble structure at the cor
ner Of 18th street and PENNSYLVANIA ave
nue. Is the handsomest business building in
the city, and it has been equipped with re-
gard to all the needs of n newspaper bust
ness and the convenience of its employees
The Star has achieved great success and
has deserved 1t. 1t ranks among the very
best American newspapers. AS It saws
IN ITS own columns: The Star has held to
the ideal of a newspaper that could al
ways be taken into the home, that could be
relied upon for honesty and accuracy, that
respected private rights restricted the
news field TO its legitimate bounds. and
that kept advertising matter from its e1i-
toriai columns and matter unfit to publish
from all Its columns" Holding to that high
Ideal, The Star has succeeded. and proved
again that decent journalism pays in a de-
cent community.

assassination and who were called out
Immediately after was the first witness

the legislature met.
Captain Walcutt stated that it was
about Is minutes after the assassination
when the company was called out. On
cross examination he said he had never
before seen the state arsenal under

Collier and did not know for what pur-
pose the guard was placed there. He
said it merely happened that the soldiers
were equipped with side arms and equip
ments and ready for active service when
Goebel was shot; that it was not GUS
tOmary for the men to be equipped in
side the arsenal. He denied that the
men were already in line but said he
formed them after they heard the first
shot fired
AT the close of the examination of

States can not know beyond question
that the messages were not garbled and
both the United States government and
the ministers misled.
There seems to be no doubt about the
safety of the ministers at Pekin for the
present and that they will remain where
they will be able to protect themselves,
and will not be induced to accept any
offers of the Chinese government to
escort them to Tien Tsin until they have
had communication with their govern
ments. Confidence is expressed, how
ever, that the Chinese will soon see the
necessity of accepting the terms laid
down in Secretary Hays note to Con-
sui GoOdnoW. 1t is stated that if all
the international forces in the vicinity
of Taku can be landed and the supplies
brought up, there is sufficient force to
overcome any army which the Chinese
may bring forward to prevent the
march on Pekin. 1t is also believed at
the war department that the informa-
ton received through the navy depart
ment of a battle is correct.
COLONIES TO HELP ENGLAND.
London, Aug 6.@The parliamentary
secretary of the foreign Office Mr.. Brod-
erick said in the house of commons that
the government had no communication
regarding the reported advance of the
British and other relief forces towards
Pek1n, nor as to the present position of
the foreign ministers there adding that
communications both from the legations
and the relief force had to be borne by
runners and dispatch boats.
The first lord of the admiralty, Mr..
Goschen said the colonial contingents il
China would consist of 200 officers and
from New South Wales and a gunboat
and 112 officers and men from South
Australia. The cost. he added, would be
partly borne by the colonies.

Great alarm is felt in all circles here

not given them out.
