Worlds Oldest Garment Now in Boston

AT first glance it looks like a woven
garment with a border of leather
round the edges. But closer eXamina

whole gazelle skin. What look like
woven meshes are really rectangular
holes cut or punched in the skin.
This garment was found in one OF
the rock-cut tombs near Thebes by

peterSburd,

st. Petersburg, Dec. 8.-A guard for
the American ebmassy, consisting of
marines, under a petty officer, from
the United States cruiser Minneapolis,
has arrived here.
Berlin, Dec. S.-The Post Preussiche
Zeitung, of Koenigsburg, says:
upon information gained from
Russian fugitives, complete anarchy
prevails in the Russian Baltic prov
inces. The government has wholly
lost its power and the military are
beginning to fraternize with the revo-
lutionists. One frequently sees drunk
en- soldiers parading the streets with
socialists waving red handkerchiefs.
"The ferment among the sailors at
Libau continues. The peasantry de.
clare that the clergy and officials are
deposed and are installing new local
officials. They also prevent the estate
owners from selling grain or wood, de-
claring that the forests are communal
property.
"The protection of life and property
has wholly ceased to exist. Bands of
criminals are securing the provinces
and numerous seats of etsate owners
have been pillaged, their arms, horses
and money have been seized and their
cattle burned to death in the stables.
"The stream of fugitives crossing
the frontier is daily increasing. No
blemen from the Baltic provinces are
arriving at Koenigsburg to place
their women and children in places of
safety"

CHINESE BOYCOTT GROWING.
Captain Baker Declares Situation Is
ALARMING.

San Francisco, Dec. 8.-Capt. A.
G. Baker, of the cruiser Raleigh, who
has been detached for several months
to study commercial and political con-
ditions in China, was passenger on
the Manchruia from the Orient, on his
way to Washington to lay before the
president and his advisers the results
of his Investigations.
''It is nonsense" said Capt. Baker,
"to talk of the boycott as dying out.
The commercial situation in the south
of China is absolutely at the mercy of
the guilds. There are seventy-one of
these, and they control trade with an
iron hand, and they have given orders
not to handle American goods. 1t is
almost impossible to get at them. OF
course, we have treaties guaranteeing
the free cirvculation of our goods, but
suppose the coolies on the docks, the
carriers on the streets and everybody
connected with the handling of goods
refuses to touch them. What are you
to do? American warehouses; in Can
ton are full to the roof with -four, and
they can't bulge it.
I'm the meantime Australian mer-
chants are chartering everything they
can get their hands ON to rush their
inferior flour into the market to take
advantage of our dicffiulty. The Chi
nese merchants admit that the -four is
not as good as ours, but they are COM
mitted to this war on American prod
ucts and are prepared to make sacri-
fees for principle.
"The boycott is just reaching the
interior, for methods of communica-
ton are slow, and if the strike We're
called off today it would take year
for the news to reach the provinces up
the river.
mot only the Australians, but the
Japanese are taking advantage of the
boycott to get our business. Cotton
mills are being established in China
by japanese houses and with cheap
labor and no transportation charge
they are in position to drive us out
of the field. They will also develop
the steel ore of Korea and probably
the oil. In this way our vast Kerosene
and steel business there will be taken
by 1.-THE Japanese.
1.-The only thing that could raise the
boycott would be to rescind Chinese
exclusion laws, and this, of course,
will not be done. 1t looks as though
our business in the south of China was
doomed. The boycott is getting worse
every day there"
