Portland, Ore, June 24.-President w D. Wheelwright of the Portland Chamber of Commerce today stated that the information which actuated the sending of a telegraphic appeal to President Roosevelt was received yes terday in a cablegram from Hongkong and the information was deemed of such importance that the attention of the government was called to it. It was stated that the Chinese threat of a boycott on American goods was made in all earnestness and was already be- ing carried out. On further con- sideration the Chamber of Commerce today despatched another message to the President as follows:
 ITO President Roosevelt, Washington; We supplement our telegram of yes terday by suggesting respectfully that certificates issued in China according to law and duly vised by the American consul be respected by the immigration authorities in this country and accepted as final This is in line with the recent public utterance of the honara- ble Secretary of War.

TRAGEDY AT LEIGHTON
NEGRO FATALLY WOUNDS C. M.
 WRIGHT AND ESCAPES.
Intense Excitement Prevails and Fugi- tive Will Be Lynched if Captured.
 Blacks Said to Be ia surIy Mood.

Tuscumbia, June 24.--( Especial JIG. M Wright. a prominent merchant of Leighton. this county. ten miles east of Tuscusnbia. was shot down on the streets of Leighton tiiis afternoon, his wounds being considered hopeiessiy fa- tai.
 Reports received from Leighton by long distance phone are to the effect that Wright and a negro named Daniel became involved in a dispute and that Wright struck Daniel. Quick as a flash, Frank Daniel. a son of Daniel. whipped out 46-calibre Colts revolver and fired three shots at close range, ali taking effect. Two shots entered wrights stomach and one penetrated his lung.
 The negro ran through the streets pur- sued by an angry crowd, thirty to forty shots being fired from Winchesters and revolvers, but the negro made his es- cape and as yet has not been captured. Bloodhounds have been sent for from Chattanooga, and the pursuit will con tinue.
 Intense excitement prevails at Leigh ton. the citizens being in an angry and determined mood, and lynching will probably follow the murderers capture.
 A phone message from Courtland, the home of the negro. says that a mob or negroes is being organized to go to Leighton and release the elder Daniel, who is being held by the authorities of the latter place. The negro who did the shooting was a stranger in Leigh ton.
 ont North Alabama. He is a we'll known Republican politician and for number of years was Tax Collector of Lawrence County, and later was defeat. ed for the office of Sheriff of Colbert County. He is a member of the firm Of Walker & Wright, merchants at Leigh ton, probably 50 years old, and has been married but a few months.

Latest Phase i'm Teamsters' Strike
 Chicago.

Latest Phase i'm Teamsters' strike at
 Chicago.
 Chicago, June 24.-The rank and file" of the striking teamsters were to- day given an opportunity to say whether the strike will continue or whether 1t will be called off and the men take their chances of getting em- ployment.
 At a meeting of the teamsters' Joint council, it has been decided to submit to the men on strike the latest peace terms received from the employers
 The three principal clauses in the proposition which the strikers will vote on are as follows:
 The elimination of the express driv- CTS from the strike settlement; the maintaining of police and armed guards on the wagons after the strike is called off: the right to wNlr union button concealed.
 It is said that the employers arc in- clined to take back a big percentage of their old 'teamsters, but 1t must be on terms dictated by them, and unless the teamsters surrender uncondition- ally, the fight will go on. Special meetings of the different locals in- volved will be called during the com ing week for the purpose of taking a referendum vote.

 Paul Morton returned from Wash ington today and resumed his work as Chairman of the Equitable Society. He was in conference during the morning with representatives of the expert ac- countants who are making an investi- gation of the Equitable's affairs under his direction.
 Mir. Morton said, through his secre- tary, that he had not accepted any fur ther resignations. nor would he inti- mate when he intends to take such ac- tfon. From this time until the end of the month, when lie returns to Wash ington to formally sever his connec- ton with the Navy Department. MT Morton will remain in town. He has indicated that he proposes to stay here all through the heated term. allowing himself only brief weekend vacations.
 Concerning the men whose names were said to be in the salary list of the Equitable Society though no long CT in the service of the company. Chairman Morton today made public the following statement:
 .'Dr. E. w. Lambert was the first medical director of the Equitable. He died July 17, 1904. having served for forty-five years as chief medical di- rector. His salary was $25,000 per annum, and 1t was continued and paid to his widow up to and including De- cember, 1904, since which time nothing has been paid. Dr. Edward Cortis was elected medical director in Sep- tember. 1876, and was retired in Feb ruary, 1904. on account of a stroke of paralysis, but with the understanding that the Society could avail itself of his services as consulting medical di- rector. As medical director he re- ceived a salary Of $15,000 a year. which was continued until January 1, 1905, Ut which timo. owing to his ina bility to perform active service. it was reduced to $1o,o0o per annum. This sum IS still being paid to him.
 "J. B. Lorlng. registrar. was the rrst. clerk employed by the Equitable in 1859. He served the Society forty live years in positions of trust. For more than twenty-five years he was chief of the Society's security depart ment in charge of It's vaults. His sai- ary was $s,500 per annum. and on April g. 1905, he left the service of the So- ciety on account of i'll health, and his salary was continued as pension.
 George H. Squire attached himself to the Society in September. 1899. His salary in 1904 was s2o.000. During August of that year he lost leg and temporarily was ineapacitated for work. The executive committee granted him five months leave of ab- sence with pay, which expired on March 1, 1905. since which time he had been on the pay roll at s1,0o0 per month, but by whose authority I have not yet been able to find out"

IS PROVING SERIOUS
WORRY OVER CHINESE BOYCOTT
 OF AMERICAN GOODS.
Portland Chamber of Commerce Sends Two TeIegrams to President Roosevelt, Who Is Earnestly
 Considering the Matter.

Washington, June 24.-That the threats of the commercial guilds of China to boycott American made goods has raised a serious question in the minds of this country's business men and manufacturers. Is indicated by a telegram received by President Roose- welt from the Portland. Ore. Chamber of Commerce. The President authoriz- ed the publication of the telegram, which follows:
 "PortIand, Ore, June 2S, 1905. ''The President, Washington:
 The Portland Chamber of Commerce respectfully urges immediate action on your part with respect to this country's relations with China, the first con sideratio being a regard for the na- tion's honor which demands faithful and fair performance of its treaty obligations. Secondly, our commer- cial interests are seriously threatened by the severe maner in which our pre- sent laws regulating the admission of the Chinese into this country are executed. which seem in their practical working to contravene treaty obliga- tions.
 we earnestly recommend that a more liberal interpretation of the laws be enjoined upon the immigration au- thorities, and meantime, the anounce- ment of the appointment by your ex cellency of a commission to inquire into the present exclusion laws. and the method of their enforcement, with in- structions to recommend to Congress such legislation shall promote ln- creased harmony between the two na- tions, would have a beneficial effect. We are advised today by cable from Hong Kong that immediate action Is necessary by our government. or a boy colt of American products will follow.

and France shall seek to reach a sep- arate agreement before the meeting of the conference thus eliminating many matters from international action. Germany apparently holds the view that 1t would be an act of discourtesy to the powers which have already agreed to attend the conference If she arranges any matters beforehand with France.
 Official circles here continue to fol- low the affair with keen interest, but without anything like excitement much less be1licose inclinations. They watch closely the movements of public opin- ion in France and while 1t is recog- nized that the French people at large have grown much less chauvenistic to- ward Germany in the last four years, corresponding with the waning influ- ence of the nationsl-clerical-m military combination in French politics. some anxiety still prevails in Berlin lest the leaders of the opposition to the French government again succeed in infiaming the passions of the people and arouse a storm which the republican leaders would be unable to withstand

Beaumont. Tex. June 24.--Excessive rainfall for the past few days has re- suited in enormous loss throughout the rice belt in Southeast Texas and south west Louisiana. It is estimated that so per cent of the crop will have to be repianted. Beginning Wednesday, rain has fallen necessarily, continuing to- day in heavy dowpours The rice coutry Is literally flooded and young rice washed out
 If rain continues another week 1t is believed the young rice win be irre- trievably lost. as 1t would be too late to put in new crop.

PROCEEDING SLOWLY.
No Probability of an Armistice Just at
 This Stage.

This Stage.
 St. Petersburg. June 24.-Information from the front Is still scanty While the preliminaries are in progress gen. eral engagement has not yet begun. General Linevitch's latest report is dated June 20. but the Associated Press dispatches from Godzyadani records a reconnaissance in force against the Japanese right June 21. The Japanese were found to have strongly fortified in this region three lines of defense. probably as usual, strengthened in the centeh by entrenchments in order to liberate force to work on the Hanks. Sinister rumors continue to circulate that Linevitch Is surrounded, but ap- parently they have no other base than The London Daily Telegraph's dispatch from Tokio. An optimistic feeling prevails at the offices of the general staff.
 peace pienipotentiaries are proceeding slowly. There were no developments today. Foreign, Minister Lamsdorff Is still i'll and unable to see Ambassador Meyer, but perhaps they will hold a conference tomorrow.
 It is improbable that an armistice will be arrangeable until the plenipo- tentiaries are named and the time of the meeting is fixed. The foreign of flee says 1t Is now awaiting Japans proposition on these points.
 In connection with the present peace movement the newspapers are recalling that half a century ago there was much talk of American mediation 70 end the Crimean war. The St. Peters burg Zeitung reprints a dispatch of June 24, 1855. containing the arrival Of former President Fillmore and Van Buren in London with a report that they were about to offer American mediation between Russia and the western powers
