CHINESE MERCHANTS
ON WAY TO CAPITAL
Come to America to Discuss
Boycott With Minister
in Washington.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 2.-Among the
passengers who arrived by the steam
ship Empress of Japan to-day were two
wealthy Chinese merchants, Lo Man
Leung and Chan Chin Man, who are
bound to Washington to discuss with the
Chinese Minister Chinese-American trade
matters with special reference TO the boy
colt now being enforced against Amer
lean goods in China
In an interview one of the Chinese said
that, although they had no official stand
ing, they wished to lay certain matters
with regard to the difficulties that had
arisen before the Chinese legation in the
United States. Lo Man Leung said there
was a strong feeling at present growing
in force in the coast cities of China for
a union with Japan.
Although arrivals from China state the
boycott against American goods is not
a serious menace, the Chinese newspapers
are filled with anti-American reports.
The Peking Commercial Guild has
drawn up a special paper and millions
of copies are to be circulated to give pub
licity to the boycott The Guild, with
representatives from every Chinese
province but Fukien, has made an agree
ment that no member will purchase
American goods on pain of a large fine.
A mass-meeting of delegates from twenty
six Chinese colleges was held at Tien-
tsin TO further the boycott. 1t was de-
cided TO appoint a. number of students
from each school to travel and lecture
upon the boycott. Large numbers of
placards are being posted throughout
Southern China, the language of which
is in cases strongly anti-foreign.
When delegate of the Chinese boycott
movement against America was explain
ing to students in Canton schools the ma
ture of the agitation, he pointed out that
many students wore tunics made of
American cloth. These were at once torn
from the backs of the students.
Various Chinese papers, have given
notice that no American business notice
or any news regarding Americans will be
published.

ticular drawing card of the EVENINGS
session of the Women's Christian Tenn

ject was American Women" He said
in part:
The American woman of to-day has
a splendid heritage from the past; not
simply the past of our young nation,
but from the distant past of nations
beyond the seas; a heritage from those
women of yore, who, when circum-
stances demanded, proved themselves
heroines by heart and hand. From
over the seas came the heritage of the
American woman. Courageously she
lived during those early days, bravely
she endured during the revolutionary
days faithfully she assisted during
pioneer days. Her education has been
acquired by slow stages. Her right in
government is soon to be recognized.
am glad of these achievements, but
best of all and greatest of all are the
houses that are made homes because
of the American woman who is there"
In the report of the conference in
connection with the reading of Stephen
Philips "Paola and Francesca" a name
was incorrectly given. The poem was
read by Mrs. Josephine Rand Rogers of
Palo Alto. the wife of Professor Fred

in the main streets, with the result that
nearly the entire city was in total dark
ness all night.
At 9 o'clock the mob sought refuge in
a disreDuta BILE district. in which there
was no police. This district, however.
was surrounded by police and mounted
squads patrolled the city for the remain
der of the night. AT midnight the police,
who number only 100, had the situation
under control
At noon to-day the city was quiet. and
the police, it is believed, will be able to
cope with the SiIlldJlcIl al hAA-SSIS NCAO

EUREKA EXCLUDES
NEW PHONE COMPANY
CITY Trustees Decide Not to
Offer Franchise For
Sale.

EUREKA, Aug. 2-The City Council by
vote of three to two last evening decided
that an opposition telephone company to
compete with the Sunset Company was
not wanted here. The matter was de-
cided on the question of offering for sale
the franchise as requested by the inde-
pendent company in which San Francisco
capitalists are interested. The matter
came up twice before, but the Sunset
Company headed off the sale of the fran
chise at the last moment each time, after
nearly $4,000 had been forfeited.
The question of readvertising the sale
came up last night and it was decided
not to offer the privilege for sale again.
This action heads off any efforts of the
new concern to enter the field for the
next two years and is locally regarded
as being inspired by the Sunset Company.
The citizens generally favor the new COM
pany and much unfavorable comment has
been heard on the action of the city
fathers, 1t is believed the Independents,
who We're represented by e. c. Sharpe of
San Francisco, will give up their efforts

GOLD DISCOVERED NEAR
SAN GABRIEL-COVINA ROAD
Ore Found Which Is Said to Assay
More Than Four Hundred
Dollars a Ton.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. within one
hundred feet of the main San Gabriel
Covina road, a thoroughfore which has
been in use for more than century
and was one of the main avenues of
travel in the days of the mission faith
ers, a ledge Of porphyry rock has been
discovered which assays $423 gold to
the ton The discovery was made by
S G. Bragg of Covina, who did not
make it public until he had secured all
of the surrounding property possible.

marked the different color of a clearly
defined streak along the face of the
bluff and examined it closely. Being
an experienced metallurgist, he soon
discovered traces of gold. Taking
samples from various parts of the
ledge, he had them assayed, with the
