BRYAN AND THE CHINESE BOY
COTT.

The manager of the Centennial
mills al Seattle and Spokane has re-
ceived information from Hongkong 70
the effect that the Chinese boyco-t
on American goods was practically
ended when w. J. Bryan made 4
speech before a gathering of Chinese
merchants and assured them that the
American people would never consent
to the repeal of the exclusion law. It
Is said that committee of Chinese
and Americans had agreed upon GER
tain notifications of the exclusion
law which were to be urged upon the
American Congress, in consideration
of the passage of which the boycott
was to be called off. Bryan plainly
told the Chinese. however, that there
was no probability that Chinese work
men, skilled or unskilled. would ever
be allowed to enter the United States
Thereupon the boycott was made
more stringent than ever.
The dispatch from Seattle giving
this information is written in the tone
Of complaint against Mr.. Bryan, but
it is likely that he said what any
other honest-minded American. know
ing the feeling of the people of this
country, would have said Mr.. Bryan
is diplomatic in speech, but he is hon
est. 1t undoubtedly seemed better to
him to tell the Chinese merchants
the truth than to delude them with
false hopes of obtaining notifications
of the exclusion law.
The people of China might as we'll
understand once for all that the entry
of Chinese laborers into this coutn v
will not be permitted If they wish
to deprive themselves of our products
on that account we will have to grin
and bear it, but for the sake of en-
richfng our merchants we will not
subject our woorkingmen to the peril
of competition with coolieism.

The Boxers are concerned for the
"outrages" perpetrated by us upon
their brethren in this land they are
about to try to pacify us by killing
all of our missionaries that they may
be able to lay hands on. Their zeal
may be laudable, but their Judgment
is damnable.
Mayor Sshmitz opened a baseball
game at San Francisco last Sunday
by pitching the first ball. If he is
as full of curves as the Bulletin would
have had us believe he should have
been permitted to finish the game.

Kings Daughters sale and entertain

would serve the same purpose.
Also after the country had been
so thoroughly gone over as it had
by the railroad engineers it did
not look probable that they had
failed to find the most practical
route for the line across the
prairie. AS evidence of how
well our guess was based we
quote the following reply to the
Tribune from Engineer Cross
well, of the Northern Pacific:
When seen at the Bollinger
last evening Mr.. Crosswell stat
ed positively that the survey
south of Vollmer would not be
changed and that no changes
were contemplated in approach
or leaving Lawyers canyon from
the original location for the
bridge. He said that the number
of surveyors now in the field was
the same that has been there all
spring. Relative to reports that
some of the crews had been
ordered to lay off, he stated that
it was due primarily to the con-
dition of the teams, the horses
needing rest.

In commenting on our recent
editorial concerning the reports
sent out from Nezperce about
the contemplated change of the
railroad route to run through
that place the Herald says that
Cottonwood has a guess coming
and so has Nezperce. That
routes have often been abandon
ed after more work was done
than has been done south of
Lawyers canyon and that the
Nezperce people were privileged
to hug their delusion until shown
they were wrong. All of this
we concede but nevertheless
Cottonwood has the best guess
as has already been proven. 1t
is only natural for Nezperce peo-
pie to grasp at all the straws
which come their way and if we
were at Nezperce we would
probably do the same but being
here we do not need to. 1t did
not look probable to US that the
survey would be changed to run
to Nezperce and then cross the
canyon and come back and con-
meet with the old survey near
this place owing to the fact that
it would lengthen the main line

is to be started at Moscow by
George Fields. It is said that
Burton L. French, F. R. Good

hackers Of the paper. 1t is a
well known fact that Moscow is
one of the poorest newspaper
towns in the state and we would
really pity the ordinary individu-
al having the temerity to open
up there but if Mr.. Fields has
the backing he is accredited with
he may make the paper pay
him, at least. AS a political
venture, though, we cannot see
where Messrs. French, Gooding

to their crowns by starting up a
paper outright to boost them for

LunaCy Proceedings Begun Against
Presidents Female AnnOyer.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Aug. 14.-Lun-
acy proceedings were instituted against
Mrs. Asi L. Esac, or Elizabeth Case,
who created a disturbance during the
church service attended by President
Roosevelt. Should Mrs. Case remain
within the jurisdiction of Nassau
county officers until Wednesday she
will be taken before Judge Jackson mt
Mineola for commitment as an insane
person.
Mrs. Case was examined by DR.. Fow-
Ter of Oyster Bay and DR.. Seaman
of Glen Cove, who were formally CON
stituted examiners in lunacy by George
Hoffman. county overseer of the poor.
The result cf the examination was the
drafting of n report that Mrs. Case
is mentally incompetent to be at large.
According to the legal procedure neces-
sary this report will be presented to
Judge Jackson, sitting at Mineola. Who
will issue an order requiring the pres
ence of Mrs. Case before the court.
This order cannot be served until
Wednesday, and as there are no
charges of any character against Mrs.
Case there is nothing to prevent her
taking leave of Oyster Bay and Mas
sau county before she is served with
the lunacy papers.

PAYNE DECLINED TO
DISCUSS Mr.. RECORD
Pretended He Had Not Read the Re-

by Corporation Counsel.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 14.-John G.
Payne, secretary of the New Jersey
riparian board, declined yesterday to
discuss the statement of George l..
Record concerning the testimony of
Payne before the legislative investi-
eating committee. All he said was:
'The difference between Mr.. Records
position and mine is, by direction of
the riparian commissioners | testified
under oath from the files of the Of
fee, and it would be m~anifestly inn
proper for me to discuss the work of
the Legislative committee which is in
vestigating the subject of riparian
rights"

enough has been disclosed to warrant
the committee in driving its probe
deeply in the affairs and doings of
the riparian board. Mr.. Record eX-
poets that his request for an early
hearing before the committee and
permission to cross examine Mr..
Payne will be granted. Senator Wake
lee, the chairman, signified his will
lingness to comply with the request,
and called a meeting of the commit
tee in Newark yesterday afternoon to

RAILWAY VALUES ARE
INCREASING RAPIDLY.
Real Estate Gets Real Boom, Show
ing Increase of Nver HaIfa
Million.

RAILWAY, Aug. 14.-The compile
ton of the work of compiling the tax
valuations of this city's real estate
and personal holdings shows that the
growth of the former interests are
most encouraging.
For several years Railway was con-
sidered somewhat of a back NUMBER
civically, and although boomers look
ed the town over at different times,
and made a few inconsiderate efforts
to place it in the van, with several OF
its larger sister cities, the real estate
deals seemed to be productive of very
modest results. But finally, the gen.
eral era of prosperity struck the old
town, and despite the croakings of a
few pessimistic citizens and tight fist
ed land owners things began to look
more promising. Today the taxable
valuations total $4,049,550, divided
into SO, 602,S52 worth of real estate
and $446,700 of personal values. On
January /, 1908, the real estate hold
ings amounted to $2,934, 1875 and the
personal $416,775, a total of 1880
900, the tax rate being $2.7S per
500.
One year later, January 1, 1904,
the real values reached $2,969,225,
and the personal ratings, $500, 900,
a total of %$3,370,125. The gain in
real estate values between the years
1903 and 1904 amounted to the small
increase of $35,100, which evidenced
the fact that very little building had
been promoted during that period.
But since 1904, and up to the present
time, a space of two and one-half
years, a gain in real estate values to
the amount of $633,627, or over half
a million, is shown, which indicates
that this city is moving forward with
no uncertain strides. The impetus
in the real estate mart which is being
manifested throughout Union county
SCENE general in every section of CEN
trail New Jersey, and it would not
surprise the citizens of this city if the
real estate values in 1907 totaled an
additional increase of half a million
dollars.

BORROWS FOR ROBBER
HighWayman Demanded Money and
Fellow Went After 1t.

TRENTON, Aug. 14:-As Daniel
McCrea was walking along the road
which runs from Lawrenceville to
Princeton at an early hour yesterday
morning he was stopped by a high
wayman. McClea told him he did
not have a cent, %whereupon the band
il said: 'I'll Just give you twenty
minutes to get some"
How much do you want?" quer-
led McCrea, badly frightened.
. Il guess IS will be enough. And
get here in twenty minutes with it OF
your life won't be worth three cents.
McCrea ran 10 Lawrenceville and
borrowed the money from John APP
plegate, and ran back to where the
robber had met him. Apologize and
. friend followed McCrea, and when
ne stopped to meet the highwayman,
who meanwhile had fed, they learn
ed the story.
