Then comes the proposed remedy,
the boycott of American goods. The
letter says:
The method now proposed for
tEwarting them is, not to go to war
not to contend at law, but that all
unite in not buying American goods
Inasmuch as China is the great mar.
ket for American goods, Europe not
taking any at present, Africa taking
but very. little. and China being the
chief consumer in Asia, if all the peo-
pie in north and south China unite in
not buying American goods it will
be like seizing them by the throat
and taking away their living. Let us
consider that China buys not less than
several hundred million dollars worth
of American goods each year, Will

vide for small dealers, for if those who
ordinarily sell American goods were
suddenly to cease selling they would
lose heavily. and in so escaping one
evil another would be incurred. If
the guilds can find way to provide
satisfactorily for these small dealers
then it is safe to say this affair will be
a success. There is another matter
against which it will be necessary for
the guilds to provide, otherwise the
Americans will change the mark on
their goods and get other natiOnalitics
to sell them to US for them. And so
China will not only be work ing for an
empty name. but will be getting a real
harm. In single word, it is better
TO use ones own goods than those of
any other country whatever. 1t is not
known whether the merchants guilds
can accomplish their part, but as for
us people. we will not fail to pray and
IL all things to do our duty.
Many thousand copies of this letter
fave been sent out by the guild with
the hope that the recipients will re-
fuse in future to buy American goods.

problems to be solved will be the dis.

Nav Prosecute Holmes.

Oyster Bay, l.. l., Special.-It is re-
garded here as not unlikely that Grim
tnal prosecution may result from the
investigation of the cotton report leak
in the Department Of Agriculture. The
subject has not yet been presented to
the President in a formal way, al
though he is familiar with most of the
details of the inquiry. United
States District Attorney Beach, of
Washington, was of the opinion, after
a cursory examination of a part of the
evidence adduced in the investigation,
that criminal proceeding would not
lie against Assistant Statistician
Holmes, who is alleged to have
profted by giving advanced informa-
ton Of the condition of the cotton
crop to certain brokers. The Depart
ment of Justice is not inclined to &C
cept this view Of the case. While no
decision to institute criminal proceed
lngs has been reached. the subject is
oelng considered by Attorney General
Moody, who later will take the matter
up with the President. In view Of
the opinion by the United States dis
trict attorney that a criminal prose
cutlOn against Holmes would not lie.
Secretary Wilson has intimated that
ne would suggest to President ROose-
Velt recommendation to Congress

New York, Special.-It can be def

Oyster Bay, L. l., Special.-While no

said that the President will authorize
a statement to be made regarding the
matter The precise nature of the state
ment is not known.
Mr. Root boarded the Presidents s

it left for Cleveland, at 5:45 O'Clock

ment's cabinet retired to their apart

turn to the cabinet. All phases OF the

On the return journey, their confer
ence, interrupted by the mission on
which they had gone to Cleveland, was
resumed. His acceptance of the prof
fer announced in New York is believed
to be without reservation at all diff
ficult to overcome.
