BOYCOTT CANNOT GROW.
Returned Traveller Says China Is Too
 Friendly With United States.

Washington, November 12-The Chin ese boycott on American goods certainly cannot be carried to the extreme limit after considering our commerce in the Orient, declared MT. Denby, the new chief clerk of the state department to- day, who recently completed a twenty year official residence in China, and who has arrived in Washington to assume his new office.
 When I left Pekin last March there was no apparent disapproval over the exclusion law. and there was no talk of a boycott" he said.
 MT Denby said he could not believe the Chinese government or any of the progressive interests of that country would encourage such a movement.
 "At the time left Pekin." said he, mo nation of the world stood higher in China among government and people than the United States. Even then China was looking to President Roosevelt to bring an end to the war that was being conducted over it's head, and personal advices I have received recently from there indicate general rejoicing among the Chinese over the results of the Pres ident's successful intervention for peace"

Washington Gladden., moderator of the Congregational churches of the United States, announced today from his pulpit that controversy over tainted money has been definitely settled, so far as the Congregational church Is concerned, and that there need be no fear that moral issues will be raised hereafter In the solicitation of money"
 In an address today upon the work or the Congregational churches, Dr. Gladden. said
 .nrhe work of foreign missions ought to appeal today as never before to in- telligent men in the Congregational churches. And I am very glad to say that there Is no longer any reason why any of us should hesitate about giving our whole hearts to the work. The con troversy through which we have been passing seems to be happily concluded There Is no longer any diversity of opin- lon among us respecting the principles which should guide us in our work. You are familiar with the resolution which l offered at Seattle. which was as follows
 'Resolver, That the officers board should neither invite nor solicit donations to it's funds from persons whose gains have been made by methods morally rep rehensible, or socially injurious.
 T am permitted to make respecting this the following statement:
 "The principle for which we contended was not voted down at Seattle: the board simply declined to take action upon it.. am now satisfied that that principle will be respected in the future action of the board. There need be no fear that moral issues will be raised hereafter in the solicitation of money'

PATHETIC SCENES AT
 MEETING IN LONDON
Jews Burst Into Tears at Contempla- ton of the Recent Outrages
 in Russia.

London. November 12.-Pathetic scenes were witnessed tonight at a gathering of 10000 Jews of the East End of London in the great assembly hall at Mile End, where a memorial service was held for the Jews recently killed in Russia. The hall was draped in black, and the ma jority of those in the audience were em- blems of mourning. At the chanting of the fifth chapter of Lamentations almost all present burst into tears and mourn full wailing.
 Rabbi Schwewzik in his sermon made an eloquent and touching appeal to chris tians to come to the help of the Jews. who he said for 2000 years had vainly protested against persecution. and could hope for nothing unless the christians out of their justice and charity endeavored to procure for them Justice and freedom.
 In conclusion. he suggested that all Jews go into deep mourning for a month and devote the proceeds of their self denial to the relief of their fellow sufferers in Russia.
