New York. Aug. 5.-Recent letters
from Japan state that a strong anti
American feeling still exists in that
COUNTRY. and that Americans are be-
ing boyeotted on all sides by japanese.
First the Hawaiian question stirred up
the fllfeeling. which was afterward
heightened by the discussion in the
United States congress on the tariff.
when the proposition was advanced to
tax severely certain japanese goods.
The japanese took this as a direct af-
front, and they have not lost an op-
portunltY since to belittle Americans
and all that pertains to this country.
James a Morse. president of the
American Trading company. who went
to Japan two months ago in the inter-
est OF the Cramps and other companies
here, wrote a week ago that the out
look for American interests in Japan
was not encouraging. Mr. Morse ex-
rected to secure the contract for the
building of the last battleship which
the Japanese government ordered con-
structed. He was about TO close the
contract when negotiations were sud
denly stopped. and the contract was
awarded to an English firm within a
hours
President Morse is still in japan.
awaiting a subsistence Of the apparent
antagonism TO this country. He is
hopeful, he declares, that the anti
American element will soon come TO it's
senses, when it may be possible for
American interests to be advanced in
that country

NAvAHoE BEATS vIaILANT.
One of the Finest Races Seen in
America.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 5-Royal
Phelps Carroll's yacht. Navahoe. won
the Goelet cup for sloops today by de-
feating Percy Chubli's Vigilant in not
only the most interesting race sailed
for one of these emblems, but prob
tween the big sloops in American
waters.
Colonia took the schooner cup, but as
Emerald. the only other entry in this
class, failed to come out, Vice Commo-
dOre PoSlley went over the course in
the most lonesome manner.
The weather, though a cold, north
east drizzle at TIE SIT, improved all
the afternoon, and the finish was made
in a cracking breeze. The wei
throughout the race was steady, and
there was no complaint of flukes.
Vigilant led at the start, but Nava-
kept her lead until within three miles
OF the finish when Vigilant passed
her. Only % feet seemed to separate
the boats as they rushed across the
line, which was not enough to save
Vigilant the race, and Navahoe won
by minutes, u seconds, corrected
time, and l minute and l second actual
time. The threatening weather kept
all but a dozen of the 200 sailing craft
in Newport harbor from witnessing the
contest between the two big sloops.
Throughout the race between Thu
Herreshoff boats 1t was question OF
seconds, and not minutes, and in the
end the better skipper Won The hand
ling of Navahoe by Captain Aubrey
Crocker was mastery while the grand
old cup defender of 1913 was twisted
about in manner that almost brought
tears to the eyes of the yachtsmen.
