TRADE is BEING RUINED.
Merchants in China Now r egrettins
American Boycott.


American Boycott.
The United States representative at
Shanghai, Consul General Rodgers, has
informed the State Department that the
Chinese Chamber of Commerce at Shang-
hal deprecates the continuance of the
boycott in China against American
goods, which the merchants say is at
tributable in large part to the students.
They claim that their business is serious
ly affected as a result. The news is re-
garded in Washington as being very
significant
The boycott was first instituted at
Shanghai, and singularly enough by the
very Chamber of Commerce which is now
so anxious to terminate it.
According to reports to the State De-
partment. the agitation extended as far
south as the Straits Settlements, where
the import business is largely controlled
by Chinese merchants, and Consul Gen
eral WILDER stated that the Shanghai
boycott. as proclaimed by the Chamber
of Commerce, has been adopted by the
chamber ut Singapore.
From Mr.. Rodgers report it is in
ferred that the merchants who started
the boycott have found themselves heavy
losers in trade as result and are desir-
Gus of removing it, The department also
has been informed that Minister Rock
hill has secured the aid of the Chinese
government in stopping the anti-Ameri-
can movement.

NEW TARIFF ISSUE.
Reciprocity Convention Held in Chi
cago Adopts Resolutions.

SdSO AuOpIS heSOlut1OnSs
With a declaration advocating imme-
date reciprocal concessions by means of
maximum and minimum" tariff and
favoring the creation of a permanent
tariff commission of economic, industrial
and commercial experts, the national
reciprocity conference ended its Chicago
session Thursday afternoon. A perma-
nent organization, to be known as the
Reciprocal Tariff League, is the out
growth of the movement, and with the
passing of the conference active work
will be carried forward by national
committee of fifteen members.
There were attempts on various sides
10 inject an array of ifs" and lands"
and ''ors'' into the declaration of prin-
ciples reported by the committee on res
0lutions, but in the end things went
through exactly as planned by the re-
visionist leaders. Following are the res
olutions adopted by the convention:
Whereas, The agriculture manufactures
and other industries of this country have
expanded to such an extent that they can
no longer depend upon the home market for
the consumption of their entire product;
and,
Whereas, Tho export trade has become
vital support to many of our industries;
and.
Whereas. The present commercial atti-
tude Of the United States. largely owning
to our failure to carry into effect the recip-
Focal trade provisions of section / of the
Dingley law, is antagOnizing foreign ma
tions, whose good will we desire and on
whom we have hitherto depended as pur-
chaserS of our surplus products; therefore,
be it
Resolved: /. That this convention, rec
ognizing the principle of protection as the
established policy of our country. advo-
Gates immediate reciprocal concessions by
means of dual or maximum and minimum
tariff as the only practical method of re-
ieving at this time the strained situation
with which we are confronted
,. That eventually the question of the
schedules and items to be considered in
reciprocal concessions be suggest ed by a
permanent tariff commission, to lie created
by Congress and appointed by the Presi-
dent, which shall consist of economic in
dustrial and commercial experts.
3. That it is the sense of this conven-
ton that our present tariff affords abundant
opportunity for such concessions without
injury to industry, trade or the wages of
labor. -,
4. That we urge action upon Congress at
the earliest time possible.

Victims of Atlantic Coast Line Wreck
Grow Larper.

Grow Larger.
Nearly hundred persons, mostly ne
groes, were killed when an excursion
train on the Atlantic COas, line from
KinstOn, n. c., bound to Norfolk. Va.
plunged through an open draw over the
western branch of the Elizabeth river,
injured was very large.
The train was running at the rate of
fifteen or twenty miles an hour as it
approached the bridge The specific or
ders Of the road to stop all trains at
the bridge, whether the draw is open
Or not, was apparently ignored. The
train plunged into the abyss Both en-
gineer and fireman discovered the open
draw too late to stop the train. The
aifbrakes were applied, but did not work
properly. The scene following the wreck
was one Of indescribable horror, with the
shrieking of men, women and children
who were drowning, struggling out of the
partly. submerged coach and floating in
the river.
The passengers who were uninjured
Immediately started to rescue those i'm
prisOned in the cars. Norfolk and Ports
mouth were communicated with and ply
sicianS were sent out on wrecking
train. Many people in the neighborhood
went to the scene of the wreck aud
Helped in the rescue. A 60-year-old farm
er displayed considerable heroism when
the disaster occurred. He leaped to the
second coach, cit a hole in its roof and
extricated thirty-hve people just before
the car became completely submerged.
The train consisted of six coaches.
Four of these remained on the track.

reported an inspection in March. 1908.
1t is further charged that the sentinel
valves were not kept i'll good working or
der, all of which is declared to be neg

The opinion of the court is that the
explosion was caused by excessive steam
pressure, which the safety valve failed

that Frank De Courtani, an oiler, neg

raised. As these men died no further
proceedings can be taken.
Secretary Bonaparte who has prom

made a scapegoat and the public that
nobody would be whitewashed, has not
yet acted on the recommendation of the
court martial of Ensign Wade. Presum-
ably he is waiting word from the Presi-

the fact remains that in the scratching
shed the fowls get exercise they might
not obtain without this structure. par

doing this is to provide a ration which
may be given them in the middle OF
the day to scratch over and pick at
Fine grain like millet thrown in the
litter on the floor is one of the best
things to use, but any grain should be
used sparingly, so that the birds will

This new profession was first recog-

Rhode Island College of Agriculture

tumn Of 1904, it adopted full four
years course in highway engineering,
for the completion of which the de-
gree of Bachelor of Science is given.
Two OF the senior class of the present
year have taken the course and have
qualified as highway engineers. The
course is attracting considerable at
tention and has the cordial endorse

the country. There can be no doubt
Of the need of good highways and of
the future demand for men who are
thoroughly trained as highway enG-

theoretical, and graduates will be pre-
