NOT AIMED AT GOVERNMENT
Chinese Boycott Designed to Improve
California Labor Conditions.

Shanghai, July %. - About l 500
people, including the heads of all the
principal guilds and delegates from
many provinces, attended a Chinese
mass meeting yesterday, which ar
ranged to begin the boycott of Ameri-
can goods tomorrow. 1t was distinctly
announced that the action taken was
not against the American government,
whose constant kindness was fully
recognized, but it was pointed out that
unless the Chinese showed themselves
to be in earnest they would have no
effect on the California labor condi-
tions. There is still much doubt as to
whether the. boycott will really be
maintained.

CORTELYOU WILL MAKE THE JOBS OF ALL THE BIG
P0STMASTERS OF THE COUNTRY STEADY FOR SURE
Sensational Decision Of the Postmaster General to Extend
Civil Service System to Fifty Thousand More PostOffces

paper insists that It is now "his turn"
No matter what the congressman and
both United States senators say.
OF course, that sounds revolution
airy. 1t is a hard dose TO swallow
But Cortelyou is not given to talking,
and behind Cortelyou is Roosevelt.
The first principle entering into Cor
telyou's reorganization scheme is
that the heads of the larger postoffices
and that means all above the grade
of fourth-class-ar to have larger
powers and a fuller measure Of dis
erection.
Up to this time the postmaster has
been seriously hampered by the
Washington department He had to
run a tremendous business and yet he
could not turn around without asking
the consent and approval of some red
tape artist in the national capital, even
to buying a cuspidor.
Then, all the postmasters are to be
rated on the merit plan. Records of
efficiency will be kept in the Wash
ington Offices, and every man will have
a rating. He will be either excellent,
good, fair or poor. Unless he keeps
in the first and second class he will
not hang on very long.

SPORTSMAN IS ARRESTED
FOR SHOOTING PHEASANT
ToTTi MAY HAVE TO PAY PEN
Atty FOR KILLING GAME
PROTECTED BY LAW.

The true knights of sport with a
gun have resolved that the game laws
of the territory must be respected
The first arrest for the unlawful
killing of game in Bernalillo county
for many years was made yesterday
when Gondencio Totti, an Italian, was
arrested for killing a Mongolian pheas-
ant. Totti will be taken before Judge
Crawford. of precinct 10, on Monday
for trial.
The bird killed by Totti is an Off
spring from several pairs OF the breed
imported and released in the Rio
Grande valley something over a year
ago by some of the local sporting
men. The law which prohibits the
killing of the pheasant in New Mex
leo was passed at the request or
those who were active in bringing the
birds into the country.
The fowl killed by Totti was a cock,
and of beautiful plumage, and was
found near the river about eight miles
north of the city. The penalty for
killing a pheasant is fine OF 500.

But where does the senator and the
congressman get of?
So far as they have been heard
from, they profess to be satisfied. Set
Ting postoffice fights is generally CON
ceded to be the bane OF the congress
mans life. II is very nice to have
spoils to distribute. but when there is
only one Office and the town is divided
into two bitterly hostile cargns over
WHO Is to get the one job, the con
gresham stands to lose.
Many a congressman has been de-
feated for reelection by some pestif-
erous postoffice fight. Under the new
regime he will sit back and smile and
pass 1t all up to the postmaster gen.
eral.
OF course, the United States sena-
tor may get jealous OF its sacred pre-
negatives. The senate has to "eon-
firm these appointments. II any
senator wants to protect his pork
he may refuse to confirm a man with
an excellent rating, and insist on a
henchman, with no rating.
Such possibilities make the new de-
parture all the more interesting.
There are about $4,000 postoffices
which will be affected by the new
policy.

RAILWAY RATE CONTROL STATUS
IN ELKlN'S SENATE committee

What the senate Is going to do in
the matters is a subject for specula-
tion among the members. It is under
stood that some of the eastern and
southern railroads have in some way
signified their intention to support
President RoOseyelts' policy, and the
opposition is considerably worked up
over the rumor that other important
lines are about to give up the fight
and line up with the supporters Of the
presidents policy.
Chairman Elkins has been counting
senatorial noses just as anXiously as
the president and his friends have
been doing. The southern tour of the
president, il is claimed, won over two
votes, those of the Louisiana sena-
tors. Ii is also reckoned that as the
senate stands today, there Is a ma.
jority for some kind of conservative
bill such as Elkins, AldTich, Foraker
and Millard can agree upon. The
fight is exceedingly bitter, although
entirely under the surface. It may
soon develop into an open struggle
between big trunk lines, arrayed in
opposition to each other. IL is charged
that the seabOard lines, between Nor
folk and New York, are, in the main,
more concerned about their commun.
ity of interests than in laws that will
reach tariffs for long distance hauls.
The men lined up with the Elkins con
tingent say that any community Of
interests between the roads will not
be disturbed by administration forces.
II the kind OF rate measure which the
aUDrOVes has Dlain
sailing. However much or little there
may be in such charges they are be.
Ing driven home with all emphasis
possible. Nothing has disturbed the
Elkins so much lately as the speech
OF Senator Knox Of Pittsburg They
had hoped till the last moment that
the senator was on their side, but
now they fear that his attitude is the
attitude OF more senators who have
not yet come into the open.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 21. - The
Senate Committee on Interstate Com.
merce met here today in compliance
with a call issued by Senator Elkins,
the chairman of the committee, 10
consider the question of railroad rates
legislation, which will come up in the
coming session of congress. Ever
since the hearing on the subject
closed, the committee has had two
experts and a number of clerks en-
ployed, compiling information for the
use of the committee and the senate.
They have collected a large mass Of
data and will have 1t in shape avail
able for the committees benefit The
committee will take up the entire sub
tect, as il no bill had been considered
heretofore, but II is expected that the
chairman will be prepared TO present
a measure OF his own, as a basis for
discussion. Senator Foraker also has
bill which will receive considera-
ton. 1t is expected that the commit
tee will continue its work until the
opening of congress on December A.,
and it is by no means probable that
it will have finished its work by that
time.
The committee is divided into two
factions. Senators Cullom, Dolliver
and Clapp are strongly advocating the
passage Of a measure incorporating
the views Of President Roosevelt on
the subject Of railroad rates legisla-
tion, while the opposition includes
Senators Aldrich, Foraker, Kean, Mil
lard and Chairman Elkins. There Is
practically no hope that the two fac
tions will be able to agree on any
measure, and it is almost certain that
al least two reports will be submitted.
a majority and a minority report,
with possibly individual reports by
one or two members, who hold partic-
ular views on the subject and cannot
agree with their other colleagues.
