The Japanese cavalry on the west is under
the command of Generals Tamara and

CONFIRMED BY BELLOWS.
Former Consul General in Japan Ar
rived at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 28.-Edward G.
Bellows until recently consul general for
the United States in Japan. has arrived In
San Francisco aboard the Pacific Mail liner
Manchuria.
Mr. Bellows brings renewed combinations
of the boycott which the merchants of
China have declared upon the United States
manufacturers and upon goods and mer-
chandise coming from this country. He
adds a new phase to the condition of affairs
by bringing the information that the orien-
tails have carried the boycott to the extent
that in many instances importers are hav-
ing great difficulty in obtaining assistance
in the unloading of American products
There can be no doubt that there is a
determined effort afoot In China whereby
II is hoped to bring pressure to bear upon
the United States through the medium Of
boycott" said Mr.. Bellows. 1.-THE object.
as has been already exploited, Is to force
this government to grant more liberal
treatment to merchants and other Chinese
who travel In the United States.
"AH over China the guilds. which are
similar to our boards of trade. are using
their utmost influence to bring about the
desired effect. Many are hardening to their
teachings. In the several ports the hands
goods are taught to leave untouched the
merchandise brought from our country
This condition of affairs is likely to grow
of course. l am not saying how effec-
tual this mode of procedure may prove. In
fact. l think that there Is no great cause
for alarm. Still. we must remember that
IN Germany and other nations we have
worthy competitors in the Chinese trade
and what we lose is bound to be their gain
to certain extent. at least"

THE APOLLO CLUB sOLOIsTS

The Minneapolis public will, indeed,
be fortunate in hearing, thru that splen.
did organization, the Apollo club, three
artists that have yet to appear in
America for the first time. At the
November concert it will present Nine
Wellington, dramatic soprano from
London, who has been heard all over
Europe and has gained the highest
praise from all the critics. Especially
is this true of her recent tour in Ger
many, where the critics are SO severe.
The Dresden Nachrichten has this to
say of her: "She has mastered her
wonderful- schooled voice and her tech
mic is superb. Her high range and
precision Of tone were never ending
delight, and the applause was so inces-
SAINT that she was recalled twelve
times This much can also be said Of
her appearance in Paris last winter.
In her own country, England, she is
one of the first leaders in her art.
Freda Slender, coloratura soprano
of Berlin, together with Thaddeus Rich,
appear in the April concert. Miss
Slender has deliciously pure soprano
voice, which is not only quite excep-
tional in compass but Of rich quality
in the lower register. It is said her
staccato work is especially noteworthy.

The Gethsemane choir was organized
