SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4-Over two score
of society people of this city had a
genuine scare and for time were in
actual peril this evening. They start
ed to cross the bay in the houseboat
Lady Moulton for the purpose of at
tending a dance at Tent City. At the
entrance of Glorietta bay on the Coro-
nado side the Lady Moulton went
aground. While the engine was being
backed in an effort to get her afioat
again there was an explosion of gaso-
line and the boat took fire. 1t was use
less to try to fight the flames with wa
ter, so wet cushions, blankets and even
coats were used by the men in the
party. They succeeded in putting out
the fire, and then there was a pros
pect that all hands would have to re-
main on the partly burned craft the
rest of the night, for the people on the
shore supposed that the boat was an
chored and had no inkling of what had
occurred. BY good luck, however.
about II o'clock a launch came within
hailing distance and took the party,
fifteen at time. to the shore.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Am at
tempt to blow up ship in midocean
has been reported by Capt. C. Touze
of the French ship Asnieres. which
has arrived here from Swansea, Eng
land, loaded with coal.
He left that port in January last
and six weeks later, when far out at
sea, a dozen capped fuses, such as
are used by miners to explode charges
of dynamite, were discovered in the
hold of the ship among the coal. Had
one of the fuses become ignited where
coal gas had accumulated the ship
would undoubtedly have been blown
to atoms. Two or three of them had
exploded, but fortunately at points
where there was no gas, and conse-
quently no damage was done.
The presence of the fuses among the
coal was discovered only by accident,
men sent into the hold during rough
weather having found them.
The Asnieres belongs to the Societe
Anonyme des Longs Courriers Fran

WI LEADS THE
CHINESE BOYCOTT
GRANTED FULL POWERS BY
HIS GOVERNMENT
RACE RIOTS ARE EXPECTED
Former Minister to the United States
Is Conducting the Movement to
Arouse Feeling Against
American Goods
RACE RIOTS ARE EXPECTED

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON Aug. 4.--Information
has reached the government from an
authority absolutely reliable that WI
Ting Fang. former minister from Chi
ma to this country is at the head of
the Chinese boycott of American goods.
Rumors of this have been afloat for
some time, but now the facts are con-
firmed. More than this, it is learned
that WI has been given by his gov
ernment fullest powers to handle the
matter and to act in the movement to
compel the United States to let down
the exclusion bars. Another important
development of which the administra-
tion is informed is that the boycott
is likely to extend to something more
serious than trade complications. Eff
forts are being made to stir up the Chi
nese coolies in Canton and other lead
ing cities of China to hatred of the
Americans. Placards are being distrib-
uted representing Americans persecut-
ing the Chinese and in other ways the
race feeling is being cunningly stirred.
Race riots are feared as a result.
1t is supposed that this is a part of
Wu's general plan and that he may
have in mind preventing the American
government from getting Chinese COO
lies to work on the Panama canal.
| 1t is asserted that the administration
has set about to close up the consular
service in China as preliminary to the
satisfactory adjustment with China.
There is reason to suppose that Chief
Wilkes recent trip was at least partly
in connection with this.
