HAVING SERIOUS EFFECT
CHINESE GOVERNMENT MAKING
NO EFFORT TO END BOYCOTT
ON AMERICAN GOODS.

Washington, Aug. 11-Consul Cen
eral Rodgers, at Shanghai, has cabled
the department of state that the Chi
nese chamber of commerce at that
place is powerless to stop the boycott
against Americans and American
products and that the Chinese stu
dents really control the situation. The
Chinese officials are inactive in the
matter. Mr. Rodgers adds that all of
our interests are seriously affected
and other nationalities at Shanghai
are becoming apprehensive that the
boycott movement extend to them.
The state department officials say
that they can do nothing at present
to ameliorate the situation, which al
ready has been brought to the atten-
.tion of the Chinese government by
Minister Rockhill, and it is probable
that only the successful negotiation
of a treaty more liberal in terms in
the matter of the admission Of Chi
nese merchants and students to the
United States will serve to check the
anti-American movement

RELIEF STEAMER SAVES MEM
BERs OF THE zIEGLER ARC
TIC EXPEDITION.
CUT OFF FROM WORLD TWO YEARS
VESSEL CRUSHED IN THE ICE.
AND HER COAL AND PRO.
VISIONS LOST.

Honningsvaag, Norway, Aug. IL
The Arctic steamer Terra Nova, which
went to the relief of the Fiala-Ziegler
polar expedition, has rescued Anthony
Fiala and all the others connected.
with the expedition with the excep-
ton of one Norwegian seaman, who
died from natural causes. The ship
America, which took out the expedi-
ton, was crushed in the ice early in
the winter of 1903.4 and lost with a
large part of her coal and preyiaiens.
The thirty-seven members of the ex=
pedition who returned to safety are
ssA in good health despite their priya-
tions and trying Experiences ED their
prolonged Imprisonment in the Arctic,
the expedition having been severed
from all communication with the out
side world since July, 1908. Anthony
Fiala of Brooklyn, N. Y, the leader
of the expedition, in a brief statement
says: sssEs ss.:s g Z 4
The rescue was most timely. By
my order the America wintered In
Neplitz bay, where early in the win
ter Of 1904 the ship was crushed in
the ice and became total loss, to-
gether with big quantities Of coal and
provisions. Supplies Of stores left at
Franz Josef Land by various relief
parties saved us very serious priva-
tions.
Three attempts to reach a high
latitude failed. The scientific work,
however, as planned was successfully
carried out by William J. Peters of
the United States geological survey.
81 s9t.- rescue was dae to the splendid
efforts Of, William S. Champ (secre-
tary of the late William Zeigler) !,
commanding the relief expedition,
who, owing to the terrible weather,
failed to reach us last year and to
the untiring zeal of Captain Kjeldsen
and his Norwegian officers and crew,
who for six weeks persistently forced
their way through solid foes of ice
and finally reached us.
IAN abundance of stores had been
left on the Franz Josef Land archi-
pelago by the expedition, so that we
did not suffer serious difficulties on
that score"

WI Ting Fang Discusses Chinese Boy
colt on America.


Peking, Aug. 11.-Wu Ting Fang,
formerly Chinese minister at Wash
ipgton and now vice president Of the
board 81 foreign affairs, il an inter
View said that the existing regulations
for the exclusion Of Chinese from the
United States were unsatisfactory
from ths Chinese standpoint and
hence it was desired that they Should
be modified ky the new convention:
The Chinese, be said, agreed to the
exclusion of coolies and this point
presented no difficulty, but the exist
ing regulations pressed with severity
upon other classes He instanced the
cases of merchants, travellers for
pleasure, students and others, who,
while nominally admissible to the
United States, were forced to undergo
examinations which, though possibly
necessary, were generally rendered
very Objectionable on account OF the
manner in which the regulations were
enforced.
Mr.. WI expressed himself as great
ly regretting the Chinese boycott Of
American goods and steamship and
insurance companies, as it might
estrange the good will of Americans,
which he highly priced. Apparently,
however, he said, the Chinese classes
most concerned, considering that the
prospects for the solution of the diff
culties arising from the application of
the exclusion act were remote, de-
cided on the boycott as the only means
of ventilating the question.

Takasugi, professor of English at the
Imperial university of Toxic, in an in
terview following lengthy conference
with Mr.. Sato, who has been the
spokesman so far for the japanese
peace commission, said that Japan's
terms, in his opinion, would include
the immediate evacuation of Man
churia, the cession of the island of
Sakhalin and an indemnity of 81 ,00O,-
100000. Vladiyostok also will be de-
manaed The indemnity, Mr.. Taxa
sugi said, might be reduced if peace
can be brought about in no other way.
Mr.. Takasugi concluded:

The pair were arrested during the

SUPPLY NOT SUFFICIENT.
Big Deal in Kansas Oil Properties
Is Off.

Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-THE s23,000,O00
oil deal, whereby the Mellon syndi-
cate of this city was to take over
Kansas and Texas oil properties for
the purpose of Waging a fight against
the Standard Oil company, is prac-
tically off. The Kansas delegation.
headed by Colonel S. J. Mundy, has
left for home. The hitch is said to
have arisen through the inability of
the Kansas people to demonstrate to
the satisfaction Of the local men that
the territory optioned would produce
enough oil to justify the construction
of pipe line to the Gulf.

DEATH RATE DECREASING.
Small Percentage Of Fatalities Result
Of Scientific Treatment,

New Orleans, Aug. f1:-The an
nouncement of sixty-three new cases
of yellow fever in the preceding TWEEN
ty-four hours has made little impress
sion on the public in view of the small
number. Of deaths, people generally ex-
pecting for some days there will be a
large quota Of unreported cases turn
ing up The death rate for some
time has been steadily declining,
showing the results of efficient scien-
tifc treatment At the beginning it
exceeded 25 per cent, but now has
dropped to II. In 1873 throughout
the epidemic it was about 29 per cent
1t is taken for granted, therefore, that
there has been material decline in
the virulency of the disease, the
heavy death rate at first being due to
the fact that the stricken Italians
courted death by their refusal to sum-
mon doctors, or if they did by their
refusal to follow the directions given
them.
Bon Ami, Patterson and other
points where there is fever have
asked for doctors and nurses and the
authorities will make every effort to
furnish them. Both doctors and nurses
are to be sent to Patterson, where
there is a perfect nest of fever, al
though thus far of a mild type. As
sistance has already been forwarded
to Bon Ami. The Patterson cases are
all among Italians, but it has not yet
been possible to trace their origin.
Three additional surgeons arrived
during the day to join the staff of
Surgeon White. DIR. White now has
enough surgeons here to keep in touch
with every section of the city. a.y

here and fell to the ground He was

and their secretaries gathered in the
conference room for the morning ses.
sion and exchanged complimentary
| words partly in Japanese M. Witt6
produced diplomatic note addressed
to the Japanese plenipotentiaries in
connection with their failure to pre-.
| sent their credentials at Wednesdays
meeting. What the contents of this
note are cannot yet be learned, but
there is q basis for the belief that NJ.
Witte in this note took occasion TO-
give expression to the surprise which
he undoubtedly felt that the Japanese
plenipotentiaries, after having from
the outset of the preliminary negottat
tiations laid SO much stress on the
necessity Of examining credentials bes
fore the first step was taken, should
at the first meeting have failed to
bring with them full official letters.
1t was the understanding of the Rug
sian ENJOYS that Baron Komur8
would decline to even open: negotia-
tions of the most informal character
unless he had satisfied himself Of the
validity of the full powers Of NJ.
Witte Historical precedents are
quoted in the note to show the irreg4
ularity of Wednesdays proceedings.
The purpose of the Russian note was
to make the permanent record COM
plete and make it show clearly the
attitude of the plenipotentiaries from
the beginning OF the conference.
Witte Will Reject Terms. ~
That M. Witte will decline to accept
the japanese conditions as a whole
may be regarded as a foregone con.
clusion and in his reply he is expect
ed to point out clearly what points he
can and what points he cannot aca
cept. 1t will be the Japanese rejoin-
der to this reply which will probably
determine the fate of the negotiations.
Japan will then come forward with
her minimum and if Russia rejects 1t
the Washington conference will
have ended in failure.
Among the Russian and Japanese
delegates at the Wentworth hotel
there is a great deal Of discussion
about the acquiescence Of M. Witte In
the suggestion of Baron Komura to
exclude delegates from the conference.
Baron komura raised a specific objec-
tlon to the presence of Professor de
Martens, whom M. Witte and Baron
Rosen desired to have in attendance
in an advisory capacity and for the
charting Of land and ocean bound
aries.
The morning session lasted exactly
two hours and was of a most friendly
character.
No afternoon session Of the peace
conference was held.
