Boxer Movement Binted At.

If il be true, a s is believed after some
investigation, that Wu is justigating, or
at least carefully refraining from in
reference with. this anti-American n
movement. 1t may become matter of
more serious concern even than the
boycott There is said to be danger
that the Chinese viii be 20 far melted
against Americans that the latter MA Y
be placed in danger OF their lives. An
antt-Amerfcan Boxer movement is hint
ed at. and such a movement would hard
~ discriminate between Americans and
English, who look as much alike in the
ohlique vision of q Chinaman as pig
tailed Jap looks like a Chinaman when
inspecting Russian military camp.
The possibilities of such movement
are so serious and obvious as hardly TO
need suggestion.
But there is still more TO the move
ment. according to reports. Minister
WI, who is now much in favor at
Fel1in. is believed TO have designs of
preventing Chinese Iaborers being used
on the Panama canal The japanese
government. it was officially admitted
a the Canal Commission offices today
has determined adversely on the ques-
ton of letting japanese work on the
canal. TnoffiCially. 1t is inttmated that
the Italian government likewise has de-
tcrnlined to discourage its people from
going to the Canal Zone to help dig the
big trench. In this situation, If the
Chinese are also headed off by WI, the
problem of getting labor for the canal
seems weiI-nigh insoluble.

Has Plenary Powers.

Not only is It declared on the highest
authority that Wu is the inspiration
and direction of China's present atd-
tude toward the United States in the
matter OF. immigration of Celestials, and
in the organization OF the boycott. but
1t is stated that he has been intrusted
with plenary powers 20 make the Unit
ed States feel the weight OF Chinese
disapproval in every way, commercial
and diplomatic, that he can invent. He
has been given general control Of all
these relations with the United States.
and proposes TO put the screws on
| vigorously.
Not only is it reported that he is
organizing and directing the Chinese
boycott against American products, but
it is also charged. and there is said to
be ample evidence TO prove. that he is
winking at a general ti-American
propag aganda in the empire. This has
reached 10 the point Of posting placards
and circulating literature highly de-
rogatory to Americans and their in
terests.

Is cumulative evidence that even when
the heather Chinee IS so thoroughly edi-
flying little man as former Minister

For Minister WI, according to infor-

for the courtesies and admiration that
were showered upon his in this country
by setting up the Chinese boycott
against this country.
