SAN FRANCISCO TO BLAME.
Discourteous Treatment of Chinese
 Caused the Boycott

San Francisco, August 15.-J. ". Davidson, acting consul general at Shanghai, who arrived from the orient today, says that the use of the Chi nese boycott is due to the discourteous treatment which the sons of citizens of officials have received at the hands o. immigration officials on landing at San Francisco.
 Mir Davidson thought that the evi- dent fact that business orders had been placed for six months ahead for American goods in delivery, would prevent the boycott being successful, but he admitted that popular anti foreign feeling might be aroused which would carry the fight beyond control, and result in serious consequence.

 ing session when a rather spirited con troversy occurred over the question of the publicity of the proceedings. Each side manifested a disposition to charge the other with being responsible for the leaks" and it was settled by re- newed pledges to observe the strictest secrecy heneeforth regarding the pro- ceedings. As a result the correspond- ents tonight experienced additional dlf- ficulty in securing information.
 The discussion on SalSha1in went far enough to demonstrate the determined opposition of Russia to its cession. and there had been not the slightest sign of yielding when the agreement was reached to reserve a decision of the article until later Competent Japanese authorities however still insist that Ja- pan will never abandon this point. They declare however. that Baron Komura and Minister Takahira will go to the extreme limit to secure the bases or the treaty of Washington" They do not pretend to say that they are as- sured the treaty will be signed. They do not even say tonight that they are hopeful Their position may be official ly stated:
 VIII Turn to Manchuria.
 "Japan's plenipotentiaries will continue the negotiations as far as possible with out leading on those points which Japan long ago decided are essential demands. If after this earnest effort it is impos- sible to reach an agreement with M. Wtte and Baron Rosen. Japan will an- nounce that further negotiations are use less and her plenipotentiaries will re- gretfuly take leave of the President, and the Japanese government will immediate ly turn her attention to the campaign in Manchuria. It has been made plain by Japan that both sides can conduct the negotiations with freer hand and make concessions on certain points with less danger of embarrassment by public opin- ion at home if the negotiations are kept secret"
 The President has not only ceased all efforts in the direction of any armistice, but 1t Is the feeling among the officials of Washington that perhaps in case the basis of negotiations are agreed upon. The actual drafting of the treaty may be hastened if there is no truce. Japan long ago let it be known that she would not consent to au armistice until the re- suit of the negotiations had been ds- sured by an agreement upon frame work of the treaty, and now it appears unlikely that she will consent to truce even then, unless Russia asks for f which Japan does not expect.
 Will Occupy kamchatka.
 London, August 15.-The Daily Tele- graphs Tokio correspondent says that the Japanese occupation of Kamchatlka will be shortly announced. The garrison there consists of single battalion.

News Received With Relief.

St. Petersburg, August 16. (-3:10 q. m)- The Associated Press dispatches announce ing the decision of the plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth to wave for the present consideration of the article relating to Sakhalin Island and to proceed with the discussion of points that Russia Is willing to accept as a basis of negotia- tions, were received here with some sur prise and even relief by the Russian pub lie generally which had been forewarned that yesterdays session might end the conference
 NJ Witte is known to have considered a rupture more than possible. The Rus sian correspondents on Monday night pri- vately notified their papers that negotia- tions might be expected to end on the morrow when the Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries locked horns on the question of the cession of Sakhalin. The bourse also was apprehensive. and Rus sian imperial As which were weak yes terday fell off an eighth.
 Is Considered Good Sign.
 The postponement of the discussion of one of the two points on which the fate of the conference hangs, is considered a good sign, but not sure one. and the general opinion remains one of doubt. though pessinlsm is losing ground as the NiAS envoys.
 Count Lamsdorff and some of the other ministers were received in audience by the Emperor at Peterhof yesterday but the anticipated statement was not given out, and probably none will be. The for eign office maintains complete reserve regarding the proceedings at Portsmouth and it is explained that while Russia would be glad to aecoi1 a great measure of publicity to the results of the delib- erations and even desires to do so. Ja- pan titude on this point necessitates the rance of any statement or com mea egarding the negotiations. To thls end all the news relating to the Ports mouth conference has been conveyed tt the Russian public through the medium of press dispatches.
 The idea is advanced at several of thu embassies that an outlet may possibl, be found in a compromise of the tw' main points of the dispute if Japan il willing to give up Sakhalin and receiv' from Russia not a general war indemni ty but payment for any rights that ma. be acquired by virture of the occupation of the Japanese troops.
