The CHINESE BOYCOTT
SHANGHAI MERCHANTS HAVE
ASKED FOR ITS SUPPRESSION.

SHANGHAI, August 16.-The Chinese
foreign board has ordered Chou-Fu, the
viceroy of Marking, to make every effort
to suppress the boycott which has now been
extended to English goods imported, 1t Is
supposed, by an American firm.
Chinese merchants have asked the gener-
al chamber of commerce to assist them to
suppress the movement, fearing that seri-
Gus financial trouble will result
Much of the trade of Shanghai Is already
being transferred to Tien Tsin, where gem
eral Yuan Shi Kai, viceroy of Pechili, has
prohibited the boycott.
Canton Viceroy Issues Proclamation.
Canton, China, has cabled the State De-
partment that the viceroy of that province
has issued a proclamation warning the
people not to interfere with any persons
who desire to purchase American goods
and not to commit any acts of violence
So far it does not appear that the procla-
nation has been violated or that any overt
acts have been committed against Ameri-
cans other foreigners.
From reports received at the State De-
partment it appears that the boycott is
being extensively employed at Shanghai
and at Canton, Notwithstanding the efforts
of the government officials to suppress it.
The movement far is confined to the
handling or purchase of United States
goods, but so far as known no attempt has
ican cargoes or to interfere with them
after landing. 1t is said that the Chinese
are Studiously avoiding any infractions- of
the treaty rights of the United States.

THE DIPLOMATIC ROOM
COL. MICHAEL has ARRANGED
FOR ITS COMPLETE RENOVATION.

Although there is not much money avail
able for the purpose. Col. Michael, chief OF
the Department of State, has arranged for
a complete renovation of the diplomatic
room of the department, which. from long
usage and lack of funds had fallen into a
rather di!apidated condition. AS Is well
known. this room is set apart for the recep-
ton and use of foreign ambassadors and
ministers and other distinguished visitors
from abroad having business with the
United States. 1t is historic the scene
Of some of the most important events in the
history Of the United States.
The treaty of Washington of 1871, which
resulted In the settlement of the Alatama
claims and other differences between the
United States and Great Britain grow ng
out of the war OF the rebellion. was gned
in this room, as were all other treaties TO
which the United States was a party con-
cluded in this city
Tie diplomatic room is one of the show
places of the national capital. In addition
to its great historic interest it is a beautiful
apartment. OF large size and handsome
proportions, it was originally tastefully dec
Grated and elegantly furnished.
1t is now undergoing a thorough overhaul
ing. both as to decoration and furniture,
with view to restoring its original beauty.
The decorations of the walls and ceiling are
to be in Egyptian patterns with coioringS
hangings and upholstery will be in perfect
harmony. The tables are of ebony and the
sofas and chairs of the same wood are to
be upholstered in Scotch tapestry of bright
blue, gold and brown The window hang
ings selected are of blue silk velour with
gold trimmings and the floor will be covered
with two large India rugs harmonizing in
design and color with the general treatment
of the room.
The entire room is being repanted. the
solid parts in grayish blue and the freize,
arches of ceiling and windows and all mold
ings in artistic frescoes of red gold and
blue.
1t is a pretty big job and will keep the
decorators and upholsterers busy for sew
eral weeks. The fresco work is being done
by selected artists. the upholstery Is being
supplied by Lansburgh & Bro. and the rugs
by Clark & Davenport.
Unless the conclusion of the Portsmouth
peace conference Is delayed for several
weeks it is not at all likely that the dplo-
matte room can be used as the scene of the
final act of the pending negotiations. In
fact, there is no indication of any disposi-
ton or desire on the part of the plenipoten-
tiaries to come to this city simply for the
purpose of signing 1.-The treaty of Ports
mouth" in case one is concluded.

CONSUL DONALDsoN'S CASE
This Government May Not Accept
Cancellation of His Exeouatur.

When all the facts have been received at

United States government will not accent

uan government in canceling the exequatur

sents that Donaldson was acting in behalf

the gunboat Bennington. having been tenn
porarily repaired, left San Diego yesterday
