THE general opinion is that the boycott
is practically abandoned here, at least for
the present, and the latest reports from
other parts of China indicate that the situ-
alton in respect to the boycott against
American goods is much improved"
AS Shanghai was the birthplace of the
boycott. where 1t is believed to have been
fostered by foreign influence In the effort to
stop the growth of American trade in the
orient, this news from Mr.. Rodgers is well
coined at the State Department 1t is be-
lieved that Secretary Tafts visit to Canton
and Annoy will also result in much benefit,
he is working under special instructions
from the President to do what he can to
stop the boycott. A report from the Secre-
tary on this subject is expected to be made
by cable directly to the President at Oyster
Bay.

Mr.. Hartman in Tokyo. Mr.. Hioki, the
first secretary Of the legation, however,
denied positively that the attack Mr..
Hartman was made out of any dislike
against Americans for the part their coun-
try has played in the bringing about of
very unpopular peace. but Mr.. Hartman
was the guest of Marquis Ito, 1t probably
happened that he was driving with him
VIXEN the attack occurred. The discomfort
in Japan is not so great about the outcome
OF the negotiations as about the fact that
Russia was allowed to speak and to act as
IL she and not Japan had been the con-
queror and to give to the world the inn
preston that 1t was Russia and not Japan
which made the terms.
Tha Japanese legation Is without advices
as to the disturbances which have taken
place in Japan in disapproval of the terms
OF the peace treaty. Mr.. Hioki said, how
ever, that though very few japanese were
perhaps satisfied with the terms of the
treaty, the of discipline in the people
was so great that there Is not the slightest
fear of any serious outbreak
