STAND BY GooDNoW.
State Department officials Contradict
Charges.

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE state de-
partment takes no stock in the story
put forth by the Chinese Gazette at
Shanghai, accusing Consul General
Goodnow of completely with the Chi
nese. On the contrary. he is spoken of
in the highest terms and his course in
the trying situation is commended.
A number of statements have ap-
peared concerning Mr.. Goodnow's sug-
gestion about the landing of British
troops. The only part which Mr.. Good
now took in this matter was to inform
the state department that he doubted
the wisdom of landing troops of one ma
ton without other having the same
privilege.
1t also is said that the Chinese Ca
zette is a British paper and positively
represents a sentiment existing among
the English at Shanghai opposed to
Consul General Goodnow and the
course he has pursued.

ject much encouragement He doubted
that the Northern Pacific and the
Short Line could get satisfactory con-
cessions from the Great Northern and
other roads as to location, etc, and
said the Northern Pacific cOntem-
plated building a depot Of its own dur
ing the coming year.
Mr. Mellen, relative to affairs at
Seattle, said that there had been no
settlement with the Great Northern
about site wanted by the latter for

owns the ground included in the pro-
posed site, which it originally owned.

has been absolutely no change in the
situation there, said Mr.. Mellen.

the Oregon, eyed the Chinese vessel
with suspicion and asked what she was
doing there. On being told, he shook
his head and said it would nevertheless
be his duty to take possession of her.
Captain Wilde nodded and answered;
Well, I'm bit embarrassed just now,
but there is ammunition aboard and my
guns are in excellent condition"
The next day, after the departure Of
the Russian, Captain Wilde visited the
Haichi and suggested to Captain Sab
that as he was protecting some refu-
gees on board it might be well for him
to run up the American flag TO the fore.
This was done and no questions were
asked by passing cruisers afterwards.
