Dr. Morrison Of the London Times

Good Faith

rison, Peking correspondent for the
London Times, arrived by the steamer
Tartar today on his way to Washing.
ton to attend the peace negotiations
Interviewed regarding the boycott es-
tablished by Chinese against Amer
lean merchants and merchandise in
China, he said he did not think the
move would assume great proportions
While 1t was a boycott on a larger
scale than any previously attempted in
China, it was without government sane
ton, as had been alleged, and at the
end of June, shortly before he left Pc
king, an imperial edict was sent to the
governors and viceroys of provinces
ordering them to do what they could to
stop the movement. In the larger Chi
nese cities it was not considered that
the movement was sufficiently serious
to cause alarm.
Regarding the report telegraphed
ences were believed to be behind the
movement, the we'll known Peking
journalist said he did not believe this
for an instant. Just now, he said, the
tendency was to blame the Japanese
for everything that took place in the
Orient. From his own observations he
has learned that the Japanese have the
best feeling toward the United States.
The boycott movement is being or
ganized by societies Of Chinese stu
dents, many of whom were educated in
Japan and abroad. They petitioned the
government to refuse to agree to such
legislation as the exclusion act which
put stigma upon the Chinese nation,
and the boycott, weapon used for hun
dreds of years in China, was started to
further their cause.
Regarding China's attitude toward
the forthcoming peace conference, he

ference, but better counsel had pre-
vailed on it being shown that the meet
ing was in no sense an international
one, but solely between the belligerents.
The leading Chinese officials are con-
fident that Japan will act in good
faith.
He said the feeling in Japan, since the
appointment of M. Witte and Baron
Rosen by Russia, was that the meeting
was to be bona fide one and that
peace would ensue. The Japanese were
greatly jubilant over what they termed
the recovery, rather than the conquest,
of Saghalin.

Japanese peace ENJOYS, on the position
Of Japan in the peace negotiations was

conducted the war quite economically,
only a million dollars a day, but she
had better present the bin to those who
are furnishing the sinews of war and
not to the country upon which the war
was forced"

WRECKED FREIGHT HAS
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Accident Occurs at Powder Mill Spur,
Near Three Cars Loaded
With Explosive
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SANTA CRUZ, July 2S.-Southern
Pacific local freight train No. 900 was
wrecked at the powder mill spur last
night, nine cars piling up at the switch,
tearing down telegraph poles and wires
and blocking traffic all night. To add
to the danger of the situation three
cars loaded with powder were in front
Of the engine, which miraculously es-
capped damage through the breaking
of a coupling. This freed the engine
from the wreck, and enabled Engineer
Crole to run with the powder cars to
Santa Cruz for safety.
The powder house at the spur was
wrecked and fortune once more fv-
ored the crew, as there was no powder
in the building at the time. Conductor
Tiff had a narrow escape from death.
He was standing at the switch when
the cars came tumbling down the
grade and became tangled up in
mass of telegraph wires which the
wreck had caused to fall across the
track. By supreme presence of mind
he pulled himself clear of the track
or he would have been caught in the
wreck.
A San Jose wrecking crew with
large gang of men from sthis city and
Boulder Creek worked all night picking
up the wrecked cars, and the track
was finally cleared. No one was in
jured, but the oil car and several box
cars were totally wrecked.

hotel men and restaurant proprietors
who were thought to maintain quiet
little rooms where thirsty patrons could
indulge in something stronger than iced
tea despite the prohibition law in the
New Jersey resort, have been thrown

rest yesterday of fourteen of their

warrants would be issued today or to-
morrow.
Securing evidence upon which war
rants could be issued has, up to the
present time been a difficult problem
for the district attorney.
Thirsty looking detectives sent out
by the prosecutor were greeted with a
blank stare when they hinted that
their lives might be saved by violation
OF the Ocean Grove mile limit law
Sportive looking men who arrived at
the various hotels with flourish and
began limiting about aridity hinted to
deaf employees. A pretty young woman
detective from New York was finally
called in and through her efforts the
needful evidence was easily procured.
All those arrested pleaded not guilty
and were placed under bond for trial.

Mr.. Sato, minister resident to the en-

however, that President Roosevelt made
no request for an armistice.
He was asked as to the attitude of

think an armistice will be agreed
upon after the commissions enter
formally upon their work. 1t has been
the custom in all peace negotiations to
cease hostilities during the convention

Mr.. Sato was asked as to the definite
powers of the members of his commits
sion and said: "They have power to
reject any proposal and commit the
Japanese government to any document
they may sign, subject, of course, to
the sanction of the emperor"
Regarding the reports that China in
tended asking an indemnity, Mr.. Sato
said: China would not ask any in
demnity of Japan. 1t was her inability
or unwillingness to keep Russia out of
Manchuria that forced us into the war"
Commenting upon the reception to
Secretary Taft in Toxic he said that he
had read the reports with deep interest.
The fact that the historic chrysanthe-
mum gardens had been thrown open to
the secretary, Mr.. Sato said, was indi-
cative Of the feeling toward Americans
in Japan. These gardens are almost
sacred in our country and this is the
first time they have been opened to

Japanese Financial Commissioner
Takes Rosy View
By Associated Press
LONDON, July 29.-The Statlst this
morning publishes an interview with
Koretiyo Takashi, the special finance
commissioner of Japan, who expresses
himself as hopeful that peace will re-
suit from the coming negotiations. He
bases this hope on his personal convic-
ton that Japan's terms will be reason
able, and that the true interests of
Russia require that she make peace.
The appointment Of NJ. Witte, he adds,
strengthens this hope.
Asked whether Japan would have to
borrow should peace be declared Mr..
Takashi answered in the affirmative,
pointing out that large sums would
be necessary for the development
of Formosa, Korea and Hokkaido
Should Japan be entrusted with pro-
lection over Manchuria until China was
in a position to give effectual protec-
ton, he continued, it would be neces-
sary to put out considerable sum.
Besides, 1t would be of the utmost i'm,
portance that japan pay the loans
raised at home, as the return of this
money would result in stimulating
trade and the development of the
country.
Should an indemnity be paid by Rus
sia, Mr.. Takashi concluded, it could be
used to pay off the internal loans and
provide for the winding up of the war,
but there would still be large sum
required for the development of Japan
and her dependencies.
