FOREIGN sHIPBUILDING.
Higher Prices for Coal and Iron Caus
q Falling on.

Higher Prices for Coal and Iron Cause
Falling on.
Consul Diederich at Bremen has made a
report to the State Department in regard
to foreign shipbuilding in 1900 in which he
says that the recently published statistical
reports on the building and launching Of
ships In Great Britain during the first
quarter Of 1900 show a general decrease
when compared with last year, which had
surpassed all previous years in this re-
spect. The higher prices in iron and coal
nave been, to considerable extent the
cause of the decrease. However, 1t Is not
expected that this condition will long con-
tinue.
The gross tonnage of ships (warships ex-
cludeO launched in Great Britain during
the first three months of 1900 was 265 600
tons, of which 64, 600 tons were in steam
ers.
AS for ships (warships excluded) under
construction during that period, there is
also considerable decrease noted when
compared with the same quarter of 1899,
but quite an increase over previous years.
A noted increase in the construction Of
large steamers is reported. Three months
ago there were building only three steamers
OF more than 10000 tons. while now seven
are also building four vessels of 1900 to
10000 tons. two of 5000 to 1900 tons and
seven of 1900 to 5000 tons.
In the construction OF warships a contin-
ued increase was noted. At the end Of last
March vessels of total tonnage OF 454. 100
were building.
1t appears that the construction for for
eign account during the last three years
has been decreased while the construction
for Great Britain has been considerably
increased, especially at private wharves.
whore the British government is having
more ships built than at its own wharves.
The larger number Of men-of-war built,
however does not cover the decrease in the
number of merchantmen. but falls short
about 100000 TONS or per cent.
AS for shipbuilding in other countries,
Germany takes the lead. but Is followed
closely by the United States. What the
consul considers phenomenal feature of
the situation Is that Japan is building 1900
tons for European account
The consul says 1t il confidently expected
that the new measure for increasing the
German imperial fleet, which Is about to be-
come law, will add great impetus to
shipbuilding in that empire.

ant OF Exfstence OF Troubles in Pekfn
1t is difficult for people in this country
to realize that In China the events that are
taking place in Pekin and are stirring the
world are known to comparatively a small
portion Of the Chinese. Men who know the
celestial empire and the ways of the Chi
naman doubt whether more than a fifth of
the Chinese are aware that anything I'M
usual is happening In Pekin An illustra-
tion of the sIowness with which news
travels in China is given in an incident oc-
curing just about the close of the war
between China and Japan. Several Amer
leans were at Canton and the slowness
with which news travels in that country
was the subject of conversation. One Of
them made the assertion that the fact tina
a war was on was known TO very few
Cinnamon. and his friends were not in
cltned TO think that his statement was war
ranted- They then saw a Chinaman being
borne toward the city IN a chair He was
evidently a man of distinction He had
travelled about a hundred miles to Canton
One Of the company of Americans pro-
posed making inquiries to see what the
Chinaman knew of the progress of the
war, and approaching the traveller entered
Into conversation with him. After an
native was asked how the war was pro-
crossing

head. ARE we fighting the little nen?''
The war was then practically at an end
and yet that was the first he had heard
that 1t had even been started.

THE NEW STAR BUILDING
COMMENTS ON THE STRUCTURE ny
THE NEWSPAPERS.


"A Lesion IN journalism.
From the Cincinnati Tribune
The Washington Evening Star has just
completed one of the finest structures in
tie national capital. The building Is one
OF the finest newspaper edifices in the
United States. On Friday evening The Star
owners invited all the Washington cor
respondents to inspect the building There
was but one verdict. To that class Of the
reading public which laments the decadence
OF certain features Of the press. experienced
Journalists are wont to point to the corner
OF pennsylvania avenue and 11th street
northwest, Washington. There has arisen
on that site, within two years, a waite
marble, ten-story edifice that is noble
monument to honest, clean, American jour-
nalism. The Star is known to net its own.
ers 100000 to $4OO, 900 every year. In a
city OF a less population than Cincinnati
boasts. The Washington Evening Star OH
circulation of about $4,000, has made its
millions. What is the explanation? The
advertiser. All the stores of the national
capital advertise, whether they be large de-
rartment stores or small shops. They know
that it pays to tell the people what stocks
they have and what the prices are. Tine
Washington merchant would just as soon
think Of doing without his electric lights as
doing without his card in the newspaper.
He believes in the press, and he gives his
money freely to support It, 1t returns to
him, not only in his increased saies but in
a high-class. bright, honest and thoroughly
reliable newspaper. The history of The
Washington Star. as given in last Satur-
days issue, is replete with instruction.

An Important Part Of Warrington.
From the Trades Unionist.

A few days ago The Evening Star news
paper was established in its new home,
11th street and Pennsylvania avenue. The
building Is magnificent in Its proportions
and perfect in appointments. conceded to
be the most handsome private structure in
the city and the best equipped newspaper
establishment in the United States. This
handsome structure is not only a lasting
monument to newspaper enterprise, but
Is an evidence of the liberal patronage Of
the people Of Washington. who have al
ways regarded The Star as the earnest and
able champion Of our local interests.
Its prosperity Is. therefore. a result which
always attends business integrity and pub
lie confidence.
The Star has also deservedly earned the
appreciation Of its numerous employees in
all departments Of its establish
ment for it's kind consideration OF
their interests and the liberal treatment
always accorded by the management This
was further shown, as can be observed, in
the arrangements made for their comfort
and convenience in the construction Of the
new building. The various work rooms
have all possible appliances for comfort
and more complete in detail than any other
establishment Of its kind in the world.
The Star has become an important part
Of Washington and the splendid structure
on the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
18th street not only materially adds to the
ornamentaton Of the city, but is an en-
during monument to a great newspaper.
