3v AssocIated Presn.

by Associated RTeSBs
CALCUTTA, Sept. 29.-Fifty thousand
Bengalis, assembled at the Temple of
Kalighat, have sworn by the Goddess
Kali to boycott British goods as pro-
test against the partition Of the prov
ince of Bengal.
The administrative work of the prov
ince, according to the views of the
home and Indian governments, has
grown to such unwieldy proportions as
to necessitate a division of the labor,
hence the partition of the province into
two lieutenant governorships. The
Bengalis are intensely resentful at what
they characterize as an attempt to
split the population and impair the
Bengalis nationality. At scores of
meetings throughout Bengal the
people have pledged themselves to sup
port the boycott which has now re-
ceived the sanction of the priests.
The scene at the Temple of Kalighat,
the greatest in Bengal, was striking
when the immense assemblage took
the oath 'fn the holy presence Of the
Goddess Kali" not to use foreign goods,
buy articles in foreign shops when
available in native shops, or employ
foreigners on any work that can be
done by our countrymen." The high
priest then placed a mystic vermilion
symbol on the forehead of each of
those who took the oath. Foreign
firms are all feeling seriously the effect
of the boycott.

CONClLIATORY SPIRIT
is BECOMING MANIFEST
HUNGARIANs AND EMPEROR ARE
ANXIOUS TO AGREE
Francis Joseph Expresses Desire Not
to Wound National Susceptibilities
and Kossuth Declares His People
Want to Live at Peace
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BUDAPEST, Sept. 29.-The situation
Is becoming clearer and evidence is
accommodating that both the coalition
leaders and the king-emperor are earn
estly endeavoring to find way out of
the difficulty.
Statements have been issued emanat-
ing. it is said, directly from the en-
tourage of the king-emperor, that deny
any intention on the part of the crown
of wounding Hungarian national sus-
capabilities. An article from the pen
of Francis Kossuth will appear tomor-
row, in which the leader of the coalition
will state that he and his associates
went to Vienna week ago with every
peaceful intent, but that they were not
given an opportunity to demonstrate to
the king emperor that the coalition
does not contemplate any obstinate op-
position and that the Hungarian ma
ton wishes to live at peace with Aus
tria. These are regarded as indications
that the negotiations between the
crown and the coalition leaders will
be renewed with some hope of sue
cess.
1t is believed by we'll informed per-
sons that General Baron Fejervary will
be reappointed premier with the right
to carry on the elections on a plat
form calling for universal suffrage and
that by this means government ma
jority will be secured in the Hunga-
rian diet.
Quiet has been completely restored
in the city. There was no sign of dis
order today.
The leaders and the king-emperor
realize that some way out of the pres
ent situation must be reached at an
early date, as otherwise the economic
condition of Hungary will become so
bad that serious disturbances cannot
be avoided, if, indeed, a real revolu-
tion does not break out. A much more
optimistic feeling prevails tonight, es-
pecially over the fact that public ex-
citement has almost completely abated.

TO AID AMERICAN
COMMERCE IN CHINA
INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT TO BE
PLACED AT SHANGHAI
Baruch Cert of That Place Is in San
Francisco, Perfecting Arrange
ments-PIan Receives Endorsement
of Secretary Taft
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-A
prominent industrial commercial exhib-
China, by Baruch Cert of that place,
who Is here perfecting arrangements
1t is said by the promoters that the ex-
hibit will enhance American commerce
goods among the Chinese ports. The
plan has been indorsed by the depart
ment of commerce and labor and Secre-
tary of War Taft also approved of the
method Of promoting trade with the
orient. Concerning the projected ex-
hibit, Mr.. Taft said in an interview
prior to his departure for Washington:
1.-THE project to establish a compre-
hensive exhibit of American goods at
Shanghai is one that commands my
hearty commentator. If 1t should be
put through it will be, so far as my in
formation goes, the first intelligent eff
fort of American merchants to go after
the business OF the orient. Situated as
are American merchants and possess
ing as we believe the best output in the
world, they, are nevertheless teing
hopelessly outclassed in the quest for
the immense commerce of China, Japan
and other oriental countries. 1t is high
time something was done after the
order of our chambers of commerce at
home, so that the oriental merchants
could have presented to them the kind
want them. That is the only way GUS
toners are gained here and it is the
only way they can be gained there.
Americans are not sending the right
goods over, and what they do send is
not put up in packages calculated to
attract the merchants. Native dealers
get no opportunity to inspect our pro-
ducts.
"Any such plan as this exhibit should
be supplemented by reorganized con-
sular service, and to this end merch-
ants should get after their congressman
and compel action on this most import
ant subject. Our present consular
equipment Is pitifully inadequate. Ger
many has ten times as many attaches at
Shanghai as the United States"
Mr. Cert announces that the proposed
exhibit will be in operation by the close
of the Chinese new year in February.
He will first visit commercial bodies in
the east for the purpose Of acquainting
manufacturers with the plan of ex-
hibit.
