AS Senator Tillman's statement OF
how the President deserted without
notice the Democrats he had made
his allies in the rate-blll legislation
and agreed TO the called ALLISON
amendment, agreeable TO Senator
Aldrich and the railroads. is left
practically unanswered, the verdict
in Washington being for Tillman and
against Roosevelt. The PresidentN

Senators Spooner, Foraker and Knox
does not cover the ground, and this

has been denied Two vital facts un-
contradicted are that the President

PJTTseURG BROKERS PROMISE
INVESTIGATION
Claim Made by Latter That Thou
sands of Poor Families In
Pennsylvania Have Been
FIeeced

Special to Tho Herald.
PTTTSBURG, March 3o.--Pittsburg
brokers are heading a movement to
protect the public from the numerous
fake mining concerns which have for
some time been reaping a harvest in
this vicinity.
Thousands of poor families have been
gulled by representatives of alleged
mining companies in Nevada and else
where, only to find after investing
their money that there is no possible
chance for them to receive financial
returns of any kind.
A. f. Mastan, prominent PITTS
burg broker, today wired his agent IN
San Francisco whether Nevada had a
law which would provide punishment
for men engaged in such swindles. He
received an answer to the effect that
while Nevada has no such law, Cali
fornia has, and that persons who work
such mining swindles in any part of the
country are amendable in that state.
The Pittsburg stock exchange pro-
poses to bring action against number
of the fake mine promoters.
A movement is now on to have a
law similar to the California law
passed by the next legislature.

For several nights past the ConeV

CHINESE BOYCOTT IS

San Francisco Merchants Who Are

Ev Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, March S0.-Direct
information from the trade ports and
centers of China is to the effect that
the boycott against goods shipped from
the United States is rapidly dying out
and that there is a prospect of an early
and full resumption of business.
Such advices come to rich and in
fluential Chinese merchants of this city
who maintain intimate business rela-
tions with the big cities of China.
They have been received by the six
companies and cover all of China that
is known to the American business
man coming from Canton, Hongkong,
Shanghai and Hankow.
They say that progressive Chinese
are gradually overcoming the hostility
of the less advanced classes and grow
ing openly defiant of the viceroys, who,
it is alleged. have fostered the anti
American feeling.
The building of the Canton-HankoW
railway is said to be exerting power
full influence in favor of trade with
America, and has almost won back,
saw the Chinese writer's the sympathy
of those importers of foodstuffs from
this country who have been looking for
an excuse to renew their business with
American firms.
Local Chinese merchants predict an
end in the near future of all trade diff
ferences.

OAKLAND, March 3o,--Charees have

In reference to this charge President

was present when the vote to strike
was taken early yesterday morning,
declared today that every man present
was given ample opportunity to ex-
press his views upon the question.
He says: 1.-The statement that the
vote was unfairly taken is absolutely
untrue. First, every man who desired
to take the floor and voice his in
dividual views upon this most i'm
portant matter was allowed to do so.
members voted voluntarily and
without pressure being brought to bear

company. | will repeat that no trick
