Beaver, Pa, Nov. 13.-J. 8. Mitchell,
candidate for register and recorder,
was defeated by the largest democratic
majority ever piled up against a Tepub-

little song entitled, Everybody Works

in office four years. He sought to be
reelected. It is alleged he had filed
the office with his relatives until every
one of his sons and daughters and
other relatives except his wife held
county positions.

Mitchell employed his children in the

WARNS CHINA TO
BLOCK BOYCOTT
Secretary Root and the Admins
tration Feel Concern Over
T. the Situation.
journal Special Service.

journal special SerVlco' .&z 81
Washington, Nov. 13.-More concern
is felt by the administration regarding
the general situation of affairs in China
than is understood by the American
people. Secretary Root has deemed it
advisable to warn the authorities at
Peking against further propaganda,
such as that which was observed dur
ing the boycott agitation.
TO impress the natives Of the south
ern provinces, in one of which, Kwan-
tung, five American missionaries were
murdered some days ago, Rear Admiral
Train, commander-in- chief of the Aslat-
ic feet, is collecting a strong force in
the vicinity of Canton. He cabled the
left Shanghai with the battleship Ohio
and the transport General Alava, which
has marines aboard.
A general uprising against foreigners,
such as occurred during the Boxer out
break, is not apprehended. But the
boycott movement, initiated last sum
mer, has gained such headway that 1t
has been found almost impossible to
check 1t.
Object Of Campaign.
| The native press, which enjoys .
! large influence in China, has been es
pecially active in the campaign against
the United States. The object of the
campaign was set forth in the follow
j ing editorial, transmitted to the state
department.:
"The agitation is no longer against
the American government, but agains,
the American workingman. It must be
remembered that America and Chins
are extremely unlike. In America the
people have supreme power. About 81
per cent of these people belong to the
working class, which means that the
will Of the labor prevails. It is the
! labOring class which turns out the goods
sent to China.
"America is wholly dependent fol
revenue upon her export trade, elgh
or nine-tenths of which is with China
If we refuse to buy American goods
American revenues will suffer to tn
extent of 80 or 90 per cent. It is evi
dent on the face Of this that it will
be worse for America for us not to buy
her goods than if we were to declar,
war against her. This is the best t.
bring her to terms''
Chinese Reasoning.
This editorial is of course, full O
missta tements, but it gives an insigh
into the way Of Chinese reasoning.
Secretary Root is studying the sit
uation in China with the utmost care
and has come to the conclusion that tn
causes which have produced it mus
be eliminated before there can be tina
complete friendliness between the tw
people so necessary to satisfy politica
and commercial intercourse.
