ANTLAMERICAN BOYCOTT
PROMOTED BY STUDENTS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-From the
many reports received by the State
Department from it's representatives
in the East relative to the anti-Amer-
lean boycott, it's extent, the prospects
of it's continuance and the amount of
injury it has inflicted on American
trade two selected t random from
the North and the South have been
made public. In neither is there any
hint of violence, and the movement.
it is stated, is confined 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 correspond
ent who adds: THE student class, as
the willing workers of the boycott or
ganiza ton. 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

JAPAN TOIBUILD
NEW CONSULATE

According to the following item in
the Hawaii Shinpo, the japanese gov
ernment is going to build new con-
sulate in Honolulu. The appropriation
therefor is large enough to create an
architectural ornament:
f'The need for an appropriation for
a new japanese consulate has long been
felt, and yet has not been fulfilled, ow-
\ ing to the dissolution of the Diet and
scther causes. According to recent
report, however, the present session OF
tie Diet has at last appropriated 200,-
600 yens for the new building, the
money to be spent in three years, the
appropriation for 1906 being $4,000
yens. The location will, no doubt, be
the present consular residence on Nuu-
anu avenue. The old house is to be
taken down and the new one to be built
thereon With the 100000 tolerably
good looking consulate will be built,
such as we may well be proud of. And
we would like to see that the occupant
of the new building will raise his worth |
IN proportion.

The merchants are against the boy
colt, but under the lash Of the guilds
they must give haIf-hearted acauies-
cence at least. If the officials SO de-
sire they can squelch the recrudes-

and by so doing will gain the support
OF the merchants. But again, there fs
the now powerful student class. which
under the teachings of foreign educat-
ed Chinese and perhaps others not
friendly to American interests where
they conflict with their own has de-
veloped an influence recognized by off,
cials, guilds, merchants and labor
ers."
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 small union trade. American
sewing machine companies report that
the Chinese are afraid to go into it's
places. Although some are likely TO
buy, they are not willing to have a
in their possession. The au-
thorities claim there is no recognition

The report concludes: IF the boy
colt is called off tomorrow IL will take

NEW FIELD GUN
FOR The ARMY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-General
Crozier, chief of the Ordnance Depart
ment, has given testimony before a
subcommittee of the House Committee
on Appropriations in explanation of his
estimate for the field guns adopted two
years ago.
THE new gun" so he said, sis not
very much more powerful than the old
one. 1t is of a little smaller caliber,
nevertheless firing a little heavier pro-
jectile. The principal difference in the
carriage is that for the new gun it
permits very long recoil of the gun
upon the carriage on discharge. This
retort is sometimes over three feet.
For this reason the action of the gun
upon the carriage in the recoil is very
gentle and the carriage is not dis
placed nor is any time lost in realms
ing the gun. Instead of firing one or
two rounds a minute, as was possible
with the old gun, the new gun will
be ready TO fire fifteen times in one
The general hopes to supply the
army with go batteries of these guns;
that is, at the rate of two guns per
thousand men, for an army of 100000
men, which, he says. is a very moder-
ate estimate. Thus far, he said, the |
had appropriated enough !
'or sixty-nine such batteries of four |
guns each, of which thirty-five bat |
.eries have been for the regular army
md the reserves. and thirty-four have
been for the use of the militia. At the
present rate the supply will be COM
Ileted in 1919.

Four Dissenting Opinions.

Justice White, in deciding the case,
laid down the general principle that a
state in, which only one party to di-
vorce proceeding resides, has no right
to dissolve a marriage tie, which all
other states must respect. Justices
Harlan, Brewer and Brown united in a
dissenting opinion, which was delivered
by Justice Brown: - They took the po-
sition that the Connecticut divorce pro
ceeding was regular and is entitled to
due credence in other states.
Justice Brown declared in his opin-
ion that the court had taken a back
ward step in this direction. Justice
Holmes also dissented from the decision
of the court, but delivered an independ-
ent opinion. He said the. result Of the
decision would be, to illegitimize many
children, but added that he would not

Special to The Journal
Omaha, Neb., April 17.--William Fl.
Allen, formerly well-known and pop
ular educator of Omaha, Kansas City
and other western cities, who died
last week of apoplexy at Edgemont,
s. D., where he was superintendent Of
the public schools, had strange dream
a year ago in which he was forewarned
of the precise time of his death.
In his dream, as Mr.. Allen related it
later, he saw map representing re.
view of fifty years, or all but one year
of his life. The map was divided into
five sections, each section represent
ing a decade Of his life, all the prin-
Of which were clearly revealed to him.
He examined the map section by sec
ton, smiling here over some bit of COM
edy in his life, weeping there over some
bit of tragedy, and living over again
the years that were gone. When he
was done with the fifth section of the
map, he laid it aside and reached for
sixth. But he found no sixth.
Again picking up the fifth section,
he discovered in bright red letters in
a corner thereof command to turn it
reverse side. He did SO and there found
a map representing clear view of the
last, or ffty-frst year Of his life, and
a forecast of the next, or ffty-second
wear. The forecast told him that a
| sickness would befall him at the end
| Of his ffty-second year and besought
him to be careful of his health lest the
sickness should end his life, and then a
voice whispered in his ear, telling hin,
that he would fall i'll on his fifty second
birthday and that if he did not die then
he would live to be 80 or 80 years Of

actual suggestion was three and one

acre; turnips, one fourth acre; win ter
