FOR THE PEkIN LEGATION.
Minister COnEer Recon- nds an Ap-
preparation of 100000.

An effort will be made in very short
time to have Congress appropriate 500, COO
to purchase land and erect buildings for the
legation and necessary guards in Pekin. A
recommendation that this appropriation be
of State from Minister Conger, and the pro-
ject is viewed with great favor here.
Mr.. Conger in presenting this matter to
the State Department has indicated that If
action is taken promptly purchase of
land can be made for the purposes desired
within what is known as the Tartar city
on extremely reasonable terms. In this
way the location of the legation will be
more desirable than formerly.
No action has yet been taken in the Sen
ate looking toward the adoption of the
suggestion but as soon as the supplement
tary estimates Of the State Department are
received an item for 100000 for the pdr-
pose indicated will be added to those esti-
mates if they do not contain 1t when they
leave the State Department. The oppor-
tuneness for SECURING this advantageous 10
cation of the legation Is fully realized by
those most familiar with the affairs OF
China.
The appropriation TO be asked for is said
to be ample tor provide not only legation
building, but quarters for such guards as It
may be necessary ;tp maintain within the
Years es to cometaft IS regarded as Impossible

least for a long time In the future. without

has no accommodation IN the imperial city
for such purposes.
This appropriations 1t is understood, will
be strongly advocated by Senator Lodge
and others. dttzE2

deEce Hospital in the police patrol wagon
In dying condition. Her death resulted

1t is stated, of using coal oil for starting

Mrs. Place alone in the kitchen at

CONSUL GENERALS RETURN
MR.. JOHN GOODNOw ARRIVES FROM
SHANGHAI, CHINA.
Was Representative of This Country
at Critical Juncture-Hfs Vaiu-
able Service.

Mr.. John Goodnow, United States consul
general at Shanghai, China, arrived in
Washington last night. having come direct
from his official post. He is stopping at
the Shoreham, and will be in the city sew
eral days before leaving for Minneapolis.
his home, where he will spend the major
portion Of his leave Of absence. He will be
In Washington again, however, before re-
turning to China. He left Shanghai one
month ago today. coming by way Of San
Francisco.
Mr.. Goodnow was caller at the State
Department today. He paid his respects to
Acting Secretary Hill and was for some
time engaged with Mr.. Cridler the third
assistant secretary. During the time that
Mr.. Conger, the American minister at
Pekin, was cut off from communicat ton
with the home government the diplomatic
matters of the United States in China were
handled largely by Mr.. Goodnow. During
the period when so many false rumors
were being circulated and sent from the
east the most reliable advices received here
were from him.
Mr. Goodnow had quite close relations
with the Nankin viceroy and there
lore In q position to secure the most au-
thenf1c advices concerning Chinese affairs.
His dispatches proved to be correct in prac-
tically all their details, and his reports
were given credence above those sent to
Agreement With Southern YicerOys.
Mr.. Goodnow, together with number of
other consuls general at Shanghai, was
largely instrumental in bringing about the
remarkable agreement with the southern
viceroys Of China, representing sixteen out
of nineteen provinces, which prevented the
spread Of the Boxer movement and rebel
lion in that territory.
Shanghai is the great commercial center
of China, and is to that empire what New
York city is to the United States. Quite
naturally 1t was a point of exceptional in
terest and intense excitement during the
days preceding the relief of Pekin. Mr..
Goodnow transacted the matters of gov
eminent Importance that came to his at
tention calmly, however. and was of the
son.
Much Of Consul General Goodnows bus-
ness in Shanghai is with the missionaries,
for that city Is the center of the Ameri-
can movement. He is judge of the mixed
court at Shanghai, and as such has juris-
d1ction over all Americans in his district.
Mr.. GoodnOw Is a diplomat, a man Of
business and a political leader. He has the
qualities that tit a man to serve in the
responsible position which he has filled with
so much credit and at such a trying time.
He is a true-blooded American In all he
says or does. well by birth. The Chi
pilcit faith in him. Mr.. Goodnow believes
that the United States will be a great pow
er for good in China, and he also declares
that the American policy of dealing with
affairs in Pekin at present will triumph in
the end.

PASSENGERS IN GREAT PERIL.
No Prospect of Getting Relief to
Stranded Vessel.

MARSEII.LES, January 9.-Dispatches
from the village of Faraman near which
the French mail steamer Russie, from
Oran, Algeria stranded Monday in a vio-
lent storm with fifty passengers and crew
of forty on board. say that all efforts to
reach the steamer have failed, owing to
the tremendous height of the seas which
are running. The pilot boats and torpedo
boats which have attempted to reach The
steamer have been unable to battle with
the waves and have returned The only
hope seems to be in the ability of life saw
ers to throw line over the Russie, as the
wrecked vessel is driven closer to the shore.
The forecastle and part of the forward
deck house are all of the vessel remaining
above the water. The. beach was lined all
night with watchers. Lights were seen on
board the steamer. but it Is believed that
some of those on board of her have already
been drowned. although no bodies have
been washed ashore.
MARSEILLES. January "a signal mes
sage was received at ) o'clock this after
noon from the Russie. saying all on board
were alive but begging for succor. The sea
has slightly moderated, but up to the pres
ent all attempts at rescue have failed.

SEABOARD AIR LINE AFFAIRS.
DirectOrs' Meeting TOday-Anent Mr.
St. Johns ReaiEnatiOn.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PORTSMOUTH. Va, January 9-The
resignation Of Mr.. Everitte St. John, vice
president and general manager of the Sea-
board Air Line, was unexpected, save to a
small number of those very close to the off,
cial. Mr.. st. John said he did not care to
discuss the cause of his resignation at all.
Il do wish however" he declared, with en-
phasis, "to express the wish that the Sea-
board and all the people along the line will
continue to prosper. and 1 shall feel well
repaid for my labors in the south If any
man say that 1 have done anything for
the upbuilding of the section through which
runs the road Of which J. have had the
management"
The plans of the retiring vice president
are in allegiance pending his completion of
the arbitration affecting the European and
Asiatic rates of some sixteen western and
two Canadian lines. Mr.. st. John will prob
ably continue for some months to come if
not permanently, his residence iii Norfolk,
where he quite recently erected a beautiful
mansion. He spoke this morning in appre-
ciative terms Of the kindness shown him in
Virginia, and expressed the hope that he
would be enabled to make his home here
1t Is probable that the resignation of a
number of Seaboard officials will be ten
dered at once as a direct result of the re-
tirement of the executive. Mr.. St. John
speaks in terms of highest praise of the
men who had helped in their capacities as
heads Of departments to make the Seaboard
what it is. and he hopes that all of them
will be retained.
The board of directors of the company
arrived here this morning for the purpos.
of holding a special meeting before .lc-
parting southwark on their first annua;
tour of inspection over the various lines
composing the system. The directors were
taken aboard the tug 'Dorothea to inspect
