Chinese Striving To Make
 Boycott More Effective

.HONGKONG, Aug. 15.-The meet ing of the Chinese, called for today, to discuss the boycott on American goods. has not been permitted by the govern mont.
 The Chinese then formally presented 2 second petition. praying for permis- siOnstO meet.
 A strong anti-American feeling is apparent among the Chinese, who are vastly encouraged by the easy success which is meeting their efforts on every hand.
 The growing impression with the Eu- ropeans here is that the boycott is development of::B Boxerism, taking new and unpreventable form. It is being suggested by American agents that Chinese success in their American boy- colt will mean eventually similar boy colt on the products of all hernations.
 The government at Washington is following closely the development of the boycott at this and other points. Daily reports, containing& exhaustive details are prepared by United States representatives. E
