FEAR FOR FUTURE TREATY
Belief in Washington That China May
Not Consent to Renew the
Agreement.

Washington, July 2S.-Some doubt
is expressed in official circles whether
it will be possible to obtain China's con-
sent to another treaty with the United
States providing for even the exclusion
of Chinese laborers from this country
The state department is aware of ILL
feeling throughout China on the whole
subject. and now that the immigra-
ton treaty with China has been allowed
to lapse without the negotiation of a new
agreement, reports have reached here
that China is inclined hereafter to re-
fuse to sign any similar convention.
China's position appears to be that the
exclusion of Chinese citizens from a
friendly country is in itself disgrace
and, while she cannot ignore the laws
of a foreign power providing for such
exclusion, she can refuse to sanction it
or become part of it by concluding a
treaty involving such restrictions. 4
year ago. it is said, it would have been
easy to conduct negotiations with China
for the exclusion Of Chinese labOrers
only. Now, however, it is understood.
the Chinese officials are disposed to re-
gard the signing Of such treaty be-
meath the dignity Of their government
The reason for the asSum DtiOn at Picking
Of this new attitude is not quite clear to
the officials here, though in some cir
Giles it is attributed to the influence Of
foreign powers.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT.
Journalist Direct from Peking Says
It Cannot Assume Great
Proportions.

Victoria, B. c., July 29.-Dr Morris
don Times, arrived by the steamer
Tartar Friday on his way to attend
the peace negotiations. Interviewed
regarding the boycott established by
the Chinese against American mer-
chants and merchandise in China, he
said he did not think the movement
would assume great proportions.
While it was boycott on a larger
scale than any previously attempted
in China, it was without government
sanction, as had been alleged. In the
larger Chinese cities it was not con-
sidered that the movement is sufi-
GENTLY serious to cause alarm Re-
garding the report telegraphed from
Shanghai that Japanese influences
were believed to be behind the move
ment, Dr.. Morrison said he did not be-
leVe this for an instant. Just now he
said the tendency was to blame the
Japanese for everything that took
place in the orient. From his own OBJ
serVations he learned that the Japa-
nese have the best feeling toward the
United States. The boycott movement
is being organized by societies of Chi
nese students, many Of whom were
educated in Japan and abroad. They
petitloned the government to refuse
to agree to such legislation, and the
boycott, a weapon used for hundreds
OF years in China, was started to fur
there their cause.
Regarding China's attitude toward
the forthcoming peace conference, he
said section of the Chinese wanted
representation for China at the con-
ference, but better counsel had pre-,
vailed on it being shown that the
meeting was in no sense an internal
tional one, but solely between the bel
ligerents. The leading Chinese officials
are confident that Japan will act in
good faith.

the pavement on the main street
Of that city, laid 25 years ago, has
never been torn up and conse-
quently has never cost anything
for repairs. This is made possible
because before the pavement
was laid an underground pipe gal
lery was constructed, in which all
underground lines can be placed
without disturbing the pavement.
There are still a few things we
can learn from the old country, If
we study their doings with de-

SACK TO WOOD PAVEMENT
Possesses Great Lasting Quality Pro-
vided It Is Laid in Hon
est Fashion.

The disposition of New York to
return to wooden pavements
three decades after they have
gone into ruin and been aban-
doned in this country, but re-
tanned in the European cities,
naturally evokes discussion of the
difference Letween the lasting
qualities of pavements in this
country and the older ones. saws
the Pittsburg Dispatch. Why did
wooden pavements relapse into
chaos within a very few years in
American cities while lasting
fairly we'll in England ana
France?
This is generally attributed to
superior work and materials
abroad. Doubtless that is a par.
tlal cause. But there is another
radical difference in methods. In
American cities the pavement
laid this year may be torn up next
year to lay some subterranean
line. We have in mind one street
in Pittsburg paved a little over q
decade ago. In the six years fol-
loving the one when the pavement
was laid there was just one year
when the city itself or the fran.
chise-holding corporations did not
tear up the pavement for laying
trolley tracks, water and gas
mains or electric conduits. In
the case Of block stone pavements
each tearing up and replacement
leaves the pavement rough and
uneven, but is not absolutely de-
structive. But asphalt or wooden
pavement depends for life on the
stability of the roadbed and the
chronic tearing up is a means of
speedy destruc ton.
In England the rule is that a
pavement once laid is not to be
torn up except for the most urgent
exigencies. A quotation has re.
Gently been published from a re-
port of the city engineer of Not.

a. C. Friedly of Fulton station. is
in town today, having brought sam
pies of his spring grain, which was
raised on his place, for the purpose of
having the same tested. The wheat
is bluestem and is from an SO-acre
field that was reseeded by Mr. Fried
ly after the freeze. The grain was
tested Mt the office of +. w McComas
and was found to test 50 pounds to
the bushel, thus being number one
wheat.
According to Mr.. Friedly the par
ticular field in question yielded 25
bushels to the acre, and he estimates
that the yield was decreased about
five bushels per acre by the hot
winds. However. the loss was all in
the yield, as the grain is declared by
Mr. McComas to be all right in quail
ity, there being but a small amount of
shriveled wheat in It,
The sample brought by Mr., Friedly
is about the first spring wheat that
has come to town from that section
of the county this season. and prob
ably indicates what the effect Of the
hot weather was on the wheat Of that
section. However, the shrlnkage was
not caused entirely by the last not
spell, but largely by that Of some two
weeks ago, when the grain was then
not yet matured.
According to Mr.. Fricdly many OF

moinder will begin operations some
