CHINESE BOYCOTT
WILL Be REMOVED
Movement, Growing Out Of Mis-
understanding, Not Likely TO.
Prove Serious.
(By Associated Press,)

PEIS1N, June 1.-THE agitation and
proposed boycott OF American goods by
Chinese merchants Is apparently based
upon misconception by the Chinese of
American intentons in regard to the
exclusion act. Both Chinese and Amerl-
cans are agreed upon the point that tho
exclusion Of coolies is the chief matter
under consideration, and that the act
deals with the treatment OF other classes
A discussion OF the subject will be neces-
sarily prolonged and to arrange a new
convention will take time. Mr.. Rock
hill, the American minister, has assured
the Chinese that Americas Intentions
are fair and conciliatory, and the Chinese
board Of foreign affairs Is apparently
satisfied upon the subject.
This movement IL unlikely to attain
any serious proportions. although 1t Is
significant. Indicating the Importance
which is attached by the Chinese to tho
questions involved in the American cx-
clusion act.

didates was hurriedly rushed through in
order that the question OF the hour tho
proposed increasing OF rates could come
up for action. Prominent members Of
the Order spoke for and against the In

for Rev. +. r. McFndcn, the Supreme Re-
preventative OF the Order TO arrive to
speak on the subject. Why He Voted for
the Proposed Increase?
