CHINESE TIRE OF THE BOYCOTT
Consul General Mt Shanghai Says Stu
dents Cause Trouble.

Consul General ut Shanghai Says Stu
dents Cause Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Consu General
Rodgers at Shanghai cabled the State de-
partment today that the Chinese Chamber
of Commerce at that place deprecates the
continuance Of the boycott in China against
American goods, which the merchants say
is attributed in large part TO the students,
Business is being seriously affected.
This dispatch is regarded here as very
significant. The boycott was first instituted
at Shanghai and similarly by the very
Chamber of Commerce which is now so
anxious to terminate It. According to re-
ports to the State department the agitation
extended as far south as the Straits Set
Elements, where the import business is
largely controlled by Chinese merchants,
and Consul General WILDER stated that the
shanghai boycott as proclaimed by the
Chamber of Commerce has been adopted by
the chamber at Singapore. From Mr.,
Rodgers reports, 1t is inferred that the
merchants who started the boycott have
found themselves heavy losers in' trade as
a result and are DESTROYS of removing IT,
The department also has been informed
that Minister Rockhill has secured the aid
of Chinese government in stopping the
anti American movement.

nation proceedings have been begun. John
Nau OF Saunders county received $1,000

average paid is but little above the con-
sideration of recent sales.
