The court is divided into cliques on the
question of the Kings marriage, and
political and family influences are being
vigorously exerted against each other.
Meantime Alfonso is satisfied to remain
unmarried for the present He thinks
that two years hence will be soon
enough for him to take a wife
1t is understood that the delay in the
King making his foreign visits is direct

CHINESE THREATEN AMERICANS.
Going Further Than \ Boycott on Goods
From This Country.
Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.


HoNGKoNG, July l0.-The Annoy cor
respondent Of the South China Morning
Post says that the boycott of American
goods has commenced there. The COM
pradore Of the Standard OIL Company has
received a threatening letter ordering him
to leave the employ of the company i'm
mediately. Officials of the American con-
sulate were molested yesterday.
meeting Of Chinese merchants was
held to-day to discuss the boycott. The
Chinese in the Malay native States, at big
meeting agreed to support the boycott.
WASHINGTON, July ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Rogers at Shanghai. cabled to-day to the
State Department that the boycott against
American goods by the merchant gilds
of Shanghai because of the exclusion act
went into effect to-day. He reports that
everything possible was done by the Ameri-
can diplomatic and consular officers as
sisted by the Government, to avert it, but
efforts in that direction were fruitless.

BIG SUN SPOTS.
Harvard Astronomers See Them. Twelve
Times as Wide as the Earth.


BosroN, July 19-Two sun spots are
now exciting considerable interest among
the Harvard astronomers on account Of
their SIZE They are close together, some
what above the center and on the right
side. Their diameter is estimated to be
100, 900 miles, twelve times as big as
the earth's. When they first appeared on
Friday, they were not easily visible, but
now they can be plainly seen through
smoked glass or even with the naked eye
when the sun is low. Whether the hot
weather is caused or affected by them Is
not known. William P. Gerrish Of the
Harvard Observatory, said:
-Sun spots are not unusual, but appear
quite frequently. These are of interest
for their size, which Is large. Scientists
are not agreed as to whether they have any
effect upon the weather or not. They may
have, but it cannot be demonstrated.
Each spot consists Of an umbra, or dark
center, surrounded by an outer fringe Of
lighter penumbra The shape Of the whole
Is irregularly oval. These spots are sup
posed to be collections Of condensed gas
containing solid matter, but scientists
are not agreed, and some astronomers think
that the spots are depressions in the surface
Of the sun or bodies moving from the earth
to the sun. The spots on the sun at present
are among the largest which have appeared
in recent years, although they cannot COM
pare with those which appeared in 1892.
