NO THREAT OF VIOLENCE.
Chinese Boycott So Far Confined to Trade Limits.

 Trade Limits.
 Washington Feb. i5.--From the many reports received by the state de- pertinent from It's representatives In the East, relative to the anti-American boycott, its extent, the prospects Of it's continuance and the amount of in- jury it has inflicted on American trade, two. selected at random rom the Norm and South. have been made public In neither Is there any hInt at violence, and the movement it Is said, Is con fined strictly to trade limits.
 The report from North China brings the history of events up to the close of 1905. At that date the boycott move ment had been nearly all talk" in the principal cities, says the correspon- dent who adds: ..tk 'fThe student. class. as the willing worker of the boycott organ. has done its best to keep the issue alive, and to some extent has succeeded much against the wishes of the merchants, who have had enough and never want to see another boycott. There has been timidity in buying and in some in stances cancellation of orders under spur of threats. but despite deniais from some Americans, 1t Is well known to the majority that such conduct on the part of Chinese buyers has not been the rule. This statement, however, does not apply to the product of the Standard oil Company which has been opposed in many places outside Of the principal cities of northern China. -
 "That underhand methods have been employed against the Standard oil Company and the British-Amertcan To- bacco Company is becoming plainer every day. At present the attacks on these two companies is apparently cen tered in and around Hankow, where obscene circulars have appeared and also many evidences of unfriendly in- tent. But 500 Chow. Chinklang. Chang Chow Wuhu. Kiukiang and many other places tributary to and on the Yangtse there has also been more or less an tagonism of late The merchants are against the boycott, but under the lash of the guilds they must give half hearted acquiescence at least. If the officials so desire they can squelch the recrudescence of the movement in this section. But again there is now the powereful student class. which, under the teachings of foreign educated Chi- nese, has developed an influence recog- nized by officials, guilds, merchants and laborers.n
 From South China. and in fact, clear down to the Straits Settlements comes the report that there is no improve ment In the boycott situation: that trade is badly affected in most lines and there is little or no business out side the smaller European trade. An American sewing machine company re- ports that Chinese are afraid to go in- to its places. although some would like to buy, but dare not have ma chine in their possession. Still the authorities claim there Is no recogni- tion here
 The report continues:
 If the boycott is called off tomor- row it will take many years to remove the i'll effect of the injury done. At Penang, American firms could not move any American goods in their godowns and Chinese refused to take the goods which they have already ordered"

WYOMING SHEEPMEN
THOUGHT FEES ILLEGAL
Especial to The Herald }

Cheyenne. Wyo.. Nov. 4.-Yesterday s
dispatcher carried a report of the de-
cision of the federal court at Seattle.
Wash. in the case of the forestry bureau
of the United States department of ag-
riculture, against Walter Matthews, a
sheepman, who entered the Mount IA
nier forest reserve in the spring of
1905, and who refused to pay the graz
ing fees charged by the forestry Off
Gals. The court holds that the grazing
fees are illegal. and that congress can
not leave statute to be enlarged upon
by the executive departments; that the
grazing of live stock in the forest re-
serves has not been porr.ibited by any
congressional act, and that, in brief.
the secretary of agriculture or his
agents or officials have no legal right TO
deny stockmen the free use of the re-
serves.
The decision in the Matthews case l.:
a big victory for the sheepmen of the
entire western country. The Wyoming
Wool-Growers' association has long
contended chat the grazing fees are
Illegal and were preparing to test the
matter in the courts. In all probability
sheepmen and other stockmen in all
parts Of the country will now refuse
to pay the fee charged by the bureau

American Fork, Nov. 4.-POlitics in
American Fork is at fever heat on
the eve of one of the most critical cleo
tions in the history of the state. and
II looks like a Democratic year. Judge
King was here Friday night, asd there
was a large turnout to greet him. The
splendid talk he made did much toward
making a great many Democratic votes.
There have been scores of Republicans
to declare since hearing him that they
were going to vote the Democratic
ticket and defeat the Smoot machine,
and that they thought that was the
only way to bring the Republican lead
ers in this state to their senses and to
bring peace and progress to this fair
state of ours. A number of prominent
Republicans here have been heard to
denounce the article in the Salt Lake
Smoot organ. written by A Milton
Musser. saying that 1 their estimation
it should be the cause of all fair-minded
citizens TO take stand against such
work as that and they believed that it
would cause hundreds Of young Repub-
Leans to vote the Democratic ticket
The Democratic ticket in this county
this fall is a good. clean ticket. Every
man on it is a man that the people of
this county can tie to. One prominent
Republican of Provo was heard to re-
mark here yesterday that the Demo-
Gratis would, he believed, elect part of
the county officers. This admission.
coming from a man of so much prom
inence, is significant, and means that
he is afraid the whole county will go

DETAILS OF THE ACCIDENT ARE
UNKNOWN.

Kansas City, Nov. 4.-Colonel Henry
Steele Olcott of Adyar, India, the pres
ident-founder Of the Theosophical So
ciety and co-worker in her life time of
the late Helen P. Blavatslky, has been
seriously injured in a railway wreck In
Italy, according TO private advices re-
ceived today by q member OF the So
ciety in this city. Beyond stating that
he had been placed in a hospital and
IS "in a bad way" no details of the
wreck are given. Because of his ad-
vanced age fears for his recovery are
entertained.

way to India from Chicago, where ne
had presided at the annual convention
of the American society OF the Theo-
sophical society held in that city IN
