an Japan-The Boycott.

Yokohama, Sept. 17-Secretary Taft and party
sailed at ; O'Clock this afternoon for San Fran
cisco on the steamer Corea. amid japanese en-
thusiasm A reception was given to Secretary
Taft this afternoon at the American consulate
by Yokohama merchants Before sailing, Sec
retary Taft said he thought that reports of the
japanese anti-peace demonstra tions had been
greatly exaggerated in America. He and his
party had travelled all through Japan and had
found trace of any anti-foreign feeling.
While prominent Americans had had trouble in a
Toxic mob he thought that it was because the
party was caught in the mob and not because
the persons were Americans Other churches be-
sides American churches had been burned
There was a special reason in each case but no
general anti-foreign feeling was responsible.
Secretary Taft said that he had examined the
Chinese boycott closely The Chinese, he said,
wanted American goods. and, having already lost
S150O0OO0 by the boycott, were finding out that
they were cutting off their noses to spite their
faces.
