ALARM INCREASING.
Minister ROckhiII Instructed to Warn
China Against Violating Treaty.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 1.-THE alarm re-
garding the impending commercial
crisis in consequence of the anti
American boycott is increasing now
that the information has got abroad
that President Roosevelt has instructed
Minister Rockhill to warn the Chinese
Government that America will insist
upon the full observance by China Of
Article Is of the Tien Tsin treaty Of
1858
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Article ID
of the Tien Tsin treaty provides that
"at each of the ports open to commerce
citizens of the United States shall be
permitted TO import from abroad and
sell, purchase and export all merchan-
disc of which the Importation or ex-
portation is not prohibited by the laws
Of the empire"
The State Department some days ago
directed the attention of Minister Rock
hill TO this particular article in view of
the published articles that it was the
intention of those managing the boy
colt against American goods to inter
fere with the landing of American
goods and to prevent steYedores from
removing American goods from vessels
in Chinese ports. It is the opinion of
the State Department that any such
act would be in violation of article IS
and Minister Reckhill was instructed 10
call the attention of the Chinese Gov
ernment to these reports and treaty
with a view of preventing any inter
ference in the landing of American
goods in China. 1t is supposed at the
department that the Chinese Govern
ment has already taken action on
RockhilFs communication and officials
at the different ports have been i'll
structed TO see that the provisions of
the treaty are not violated. No COM
plants have been received at the State
Department indicating that the threats
Of interference with American COM
merce had been carried out, but it was
to forestall anything of this kind that
the instructions were sent to Minister
