THE coNvERsIoN or CON
 GRESHAM LACEY

The conversion Of Congressman John Y. Lacey, of Iowa, to the policy of ter ritorial government for Alaska Is not strange. It Is the natural result of a study of Alaskan conditions on the ground by an American looking through American eyes from an Ameri- can standpoint It is the uuly possible solution Oi the problem of government in this district; 1t is the only American way of dispOsing of the matter aud 1t Is only natural that an American con- gressman, familiar with the principles, policies and theories of his government, should see the point,
 Mir. Lacey Is one of the strong mem bers of congress. He is one Of those who believe principles count for some thing, and he is not afraid to speak out In meeting in their defense. He lead the opposition to the plan to have an appolntlve delegate from Alaska, He not only fought the proposed bill but he gave notice that in case the bill were passed he would object to the ere dentiAls of any man asking seat on the floor of the house which dld not come from the people. He had his way and the b.Il failed.
 The fact Is Mr. Lacey is a man who frequently has his way about things. He has 1t because be so often takes ground that is right in principle, and, consequently, unASsailable. He had his way lu the Tointive deIegateship matter because he was right, and he may very we'll have his way in his ad- TocAcy of territorial government for Alaska, because he is right in that, also.
 The people of Alaska have gained much in the conversion of Congressman Lacey and they will remember him long and we'll.

CHINA MERCHANTS '7'.
REPENT BOYCOTT
EMBARGO ON AMERICAN GOODS
ovERsHApoWs PEACE NE.
EQUATIONS IN LARGE
CITIES.

PEKIN. Aug. 31.-The American
boycott almost overshadows the peace
negotiations as topic of interest in
China. Accounts reaching Pelin
from trading centres Indicate that
the movement attained its greatest
strength early in August, and since
then has been decreasing.
Nowhere except in Shanghai has
American business received serious
blow. The boycott would have been
equally successful In Tein'Tsin, which
is distributing market for American
goods, second only to Shanghai, but
for the determined repression of Yuan
Shi Kai, who is almost the only Chi
nese Viceroy really ruling his own
province.
The Pelsin government, in response
to Minister Rockhill's representations,
issued instructions to provincial off,
cials which read well, but which the
officials construe with the belief that
the government sympathizes with the
sentiment in favor of the exclusion OF
American goods, although obliged
formally to oppose the method Of It's
expression. Several minor officials
are implicated In the movement in
Shanghai, and its leader holds the
rank of Taotai. The government
might punish them by. depriving them
of honors, according to the Chinese
custom, If 1t were in earnest.
Many important merchants who
embarked in the boycott now repent
of the scheme, but 1t has passed be-
yond their control into the hands, ,of
agitators, the majority of whom are
students. many recently returned
from Japan, and some from America,
who relate at meetings and in news.
papers stories of outrages received at
the hands of American immigration
officials. The agitators are active
principally in the central and southern
cities.
They have abandoned the original
demand that Chinese students and
merchants be admitted as freely to
America as those of other nationals
ties, and now are demanding the unre,
stricted entry of all Chinese. They
argue that IL this movement succeeds
the same coercion may be employed
against Canada, Australia. Java and
.all countries in which Chinese live..
Native newspapers, which have be.
come influential only since the Boxer
uprising. and the number whereof Is
multiplying, are powerful factor in
tanning the agitation.
Best informed foreigners believe
that the boycott has passed its eli.
max and Will gradually subside; that
the cessation of orders for American
goods is merely temporary, and that
a decrease of orders now will result
in corresponding increase later In
the year. |f
