CHINA SAVED BY u. S. NAVY.


Startling Staten enfs OF Captain HOD-
I---rxS1 Il : - lEVz1E-
SON About Empires Partition.
Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson
hero of the Merrimac. who spoke at
fremont temple. in Boston. on The
American Navy made some startling
statements in regard TO China. says the
New York Evening Journal.
1T is my sincere belief he said.
that it was the presence of the strong
United States navy in Chinese waters
that prevented the partition of China a
year and two years ago. If the parti-
ton of China comes in the near future.
| believe that the world will be set on
fire. Ii is my belief that under such
circumstances the only preventive of
worldwide war will be the presence Of
a great American feet.
China is to be opened up, and opened
up soon. The United States by its geo
graphical and Industrial position has
the strategic vantage ground. We
should be the first in this vast indus
trial upheaval which is sure to come
with the opening up of China to the
world We have equal rights in China
with the rest of the world and we have
equal rights in saying that China shall
not be partifinupd

THE COST OF LIVING.
Average Advance N Nearly 40 Per
Cent In Prices since 1897.

In an address lately delivered before
the railroad branch of the Young Mems
Christian association in New York Mr..
Andrew Carnegie said a great many
practical and sensible things which
doubtless gave his hearers much pleas
ure. He also said some things which
have set them thinking and which have
given rise to much dficussion. says the
New York Times. For example: 1T is
one of the most cheering facts of our
day that under present conditions the
wages of labor tend to rise and the
prices of the necessities of life tend TO
fall" Whether this is true or not is "a
question of interest to every one who
lives by the fruits of his labor in what
ever form he is compensated.
AS Mr. Carnegie said it and probably
meant it his statement is quite true. 1t
is a broad generalization. without
dates. The periods of the comparison
may be assumed as ten. fifty or hun.
dred years mart BEAD literally and
giving the terms "our day" and pres
emit conditions" the meaning which
usually attaches to them, the state
ment is not true. Figures very careful
ly compiled for Dun's Review show
that during 1901 the cost of living in
this country increased with remarka-
bic rapidity. that such increase has
been going on since July, 1897. when
the lowest level of prices in some four
teen years was reached, and that the
net average increase in the cost Of liv-
ing is greater than any advance claim
ed in average wages during this period.
Comparing prices of the necessaries of
life on Jan. l. 1902. and July !. 1897, it
is found that the average advance is
nearly 40 per cent. That the average
wage has increased 40 per cent during
this period is scarcely probable.

Policeman Hurt by Fall.

Policeman John Foster of the Anacostia
precinct who has been for number Of
days specially detailed in the vicinity Of
Twining City for the purpose of putting a
stop to illegal cunning in that section, met
with painful mishap yesterday afternoon
while in the course of his duty there. He
was attracted to the woods by the reports
of firearms and succeeded in discovering
three colored men, who were supposed to
be firing at birds belonging to the colony Of
night herons established near the Ridge
road by Mr.. F. S. Palmer, assistant chief of
the biological survey of the Department of
Agriculture. The officer gave chase to the
gunners, but in running he stumbled over
a root and fell, painfully injuring his left
foot. The men made their escape easily,
leaving two hats behind them, while Officer
Foster returned to the AnacoStia station In
a wagon. He returned to duty this morn
ing, although suffering from the effects Of
his injury.
