BOYCOTT AT SHANGHAI
CONSUL GENERAL ROGERS SENDS
 A COMMUNICATION.
Matter May Prove Serious Consmerctai- ly, s2s.O0O,0e0 Worth of For etgn Goods Affected by
 the Dan.

Washington, Sept. 1a.--The State Department today received q comnu- nication from Consul General Rogers at Shanghai which sets forth the cons dition of affairs there commercially growing out of the Chinese boycott.
 One phase of the movement which is disturbing to all business minds. he says, is the effect it Is likely to pro- duce on the finances of that great centre of commerce. There are at the present time in Shanghai warehouses approximately 1ss,o00 bales of Ameri- can piece goods, valued at nearly ss,- 000,o ,o0o gold. The question, therefore. of marketing this commodity and of collecting the money under the pres ent conditions ss and with Mauchpria closed, he added, presents very se- rious condition and is apt to cause great difficulty not only to the Chinese merchants, but also to the importers.
 What Is true of piece goods, he says, is also true of all other lines of sta- pie product The market has been overstocked and nothing is moving, and, while the Chinese merchants are now suffering. the foreign firms will assurdly feel the effect on the set- ting dates. The total value of for eiRn goods likely to affected by this boycott movement in Shanghai alone has been estimated conservatlvely at $2b. 900 gold.
 Consul Salmons at Newschwang com municated to the State Department that he had been banqueted by the Chinese officials at that place upon which occasion they declared that the boycott on American goods had been suppressed.
 The State Department has been in- formed that the Japanese governmnt has removed the restrictions on river shipments to the interior of Manchu- ,-ta

Butcher thought. why so great an amount of business was done with these firms was because they have done business satisfactorily and the company deemed 1t advisable to continue with them. Mir. Butcher said the president usually did the purchas- ing of securities for the Metropolitan.
 It appeared from the questioning that the president of Metropolitan had sole discretion in which bank and trust companies deposts should be kept.

TOOK SHOT AT TUG.

 Fishing Boat.

Fishing Boat.
 Erie, Pa, Sept. 14,--While fishing near the boundary line in Lake Erie today the fishing tug J. McCarty, a small boat of fifteen tons, was struck twice by shots from the Canadian cruiser Vigllant in the efforts of the Canadians to compel the tug to stop and surrender. Captain Frank Handy. the engineer and four men were on the boat, but they were determined to es- cape and made the run home in their damaged boat. The tug was struck once near the water line. but the hull was only dented. The second shot knocked over the iron man." a piece of machinery used in hauling in nets The men were not hurt. The boat sus- tained such small damage that just be- fore dark Captain Handy started out again to pick up the nets he left be- hind.
 The captain said he was in American waters when the shots were fired, but many of the fishermen admit that they go over on the Canadian side regularly to fish at this season of the year. The Vigilant, it is claimed, comes down in- side the Canadian lines and intercepts all tugs that are not speedy enough to get away.
