NOT DYING OU1 THE BOYCOTT IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE IN FLOWERY
 KINGDOM. China Is in a Furore, and Is Abso' iutely at the Mercy Of the
 Guilds,

San Francisco. Dec. 7.-Capt. A. C. Baker of the cruiser Raleigh, who has been detached for several months to study commercial and political con ditons in China, was a passenger oh the Manchuria. arriving from the or en; on his way 10 Washington, to lay before the president and his advisers the results of his investigat ons. II is nonsense" said Capt. Baker ito talk of the boycott dayins out. The commercial situation in the south of China is absolutely at the mercy of the guilds. There are seventy=one of these, and they control the trade with an iron hand and they have glv- on orders not to handle American goods. Ii is almost impossible to get at them. Of course, we have trea- tics guaranteeing the free circulation of our goods. but supposing the coo
 es on the docks, the carrier on the streets and everybody connected With the handling of goods refuses to touch them what are you to do?
 American houses in Canton are full to the roof with flour and they cannot budge if. In the meantime Austral- ian merchants are chartering every thing they can get their hands on to rush their inferior flour into the market to take advantage of our diff ficulty. These Chinese merchants admit that the flour is not as good as ours, but they are committed to the war on American products and are nreDared to make sacrifices to carry it out. The boycott is just reaching the interior. for methods of commit nication are slow, and if the boycott were called off today it would take a year fer the news to reach the provinces up the river
 'Not only the Australians, but the Japanese also are taking advantage of the boycott to get the business. Cotton mills are being established in China by Japanese houses and With cheap labor and no transportation charges they are in a position to G1iye competition out of the field. They will also develop the steel ore of Korea and probably the oil.

 Thereupon the supporters of the pe- tition made their exodus from the hear ing and proceeded to, the room where the board of finance was in session.
 The committee had just taken up the petition for the widening of St. John street, between Olive. and Grand avenue and of Grand avenue at State street when the Humphrey street reporters re- turned reporting little progress. It was then arranged that, Alderman De- vine, who is prominent in the move ment, should bring the matter up in the board of aldermen at the next meeting and be supported by the com l mittee on streets. They again went of to the board of finance. They there | received the information that the bridge bonds fund could be used for the purpose of bridging the street over the

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
HELD IMPORTANT ANNUAL
 MEETING.


President Walkers Annual Address
 Officers EIected-PresentatiOn to So- , ciety of Fine Portrait of the Late
 Captain TOwnshend.
 The annual meeting of the New Ha- ven Colony Historical society was held last evening in Colonial hall, the pres ident, Professor Williston Walker, pre- siding.
 Henry T. Blake read the annual re- port of the librarian, showing large increase during the year in donations of pamphlets of great local historical in- terest and by. purchase of a considera- ble number of recent publications of genealogical records. The list of dona- tions numbers over one hundred.
 Benjamin R. English, treasurer of the endowment fund, read his annual re- port. This fund is invested in bonds, largely local and of the par value of $20, ,250. The income from this fund has been an absolute necessity to the soci- ety, as the dues from membership are not sufficient to pay it's necessary run ming expenses. The treasurer of the society read the annual report of re- ceipts and expenses, showing a balance on hand of $17.01.
 An important and perhaps the prin- cipal event of the evening was the gift to the society of a very lifelike oil DOT trait of the late Captain Charles FL Townshend by. his widow, Mrs. Mary Townshend, of 2S4 Church street. In behalf of his mother Henry H. Town shend, son of Captain Townshend, made very pleasing presentation speech, and the portrait was accepted in a fe- licitous answer by President Walker. This was followed by the presidents s ' annual address, in which he mentioned the addresses given to the society dur ing the year. The speaker urged those present to use their influence in en- larging the societys membership and increasing it's influence to the local con- nunity. The society has a large and ] f11creasing library, which will soon be re-catalogued-a work which will be o1 great advantage to its members.
 During the year the society has los by death ten members-General C. W Darling, Henry Baldwin, Rev. Professor George E. Day, Wilbur F. Day, John M HalL Frank W, Benedict, H. J. Morton James Gardner Clark and Hon. O. H Platt. The president remarked that thi' ! 1Continued on Fifth Page)
