!Speech Caused Boycott to Tighten.

- SpokRssa yVaslE .-1,-Samiel GiasgP"
manager Of milling company of Spokane and
Seattle to-day said that he had received from
William Burtt, Chinese representative of the
company newspapers and letters which say
that the Chinese Interpretation of speech
made by William J. Bryan before Chinese mer-
chants at dinner given by them in his honor
has been used by Chinese agita tors to stir up
renewed antipatify to American products.
A Chinese merchant quoted Mr.. Bryan as de-
claring that the labor party was strong in the
United States that Chinese wOrkmen. skilled or
unskiIled would never be permitted to enter.
and as drawing a gloomy picture of what would
happen to American workmen If the Chinese
were allowed TO take away their employment
After this Interpretation OF Mr. Bryans speech
was circulated. the Chinese merchants became
convinced that Congress would adopt the
changes recommended by the American mer-
chants and that their best policy was to put on
the boycott screws tighter than ever.

ATTEMPT TO ROB OPERATOR
Night Man At Omaha Depot, St.
Peter, Has an Experience.
From Tuesdays Dali


Only the strength of lock prevented
c. B. Casperson, night operator at the
Omaha depot, st. Peter, from being rob-
bed and perhaps roughly handled by two
men who attempted to break into the
station Sunday night. The crooks en-
tered the waiting room shortly after
midnight and sat on "a bench near the
office door until a freight train that was
switching in the yards had pulled out.
Then they tried to prevail upon Mr..
Casperson to admit them to the office,
and when he refused they threw them
selves against the door and attempted
to break the lock. 1t resisted their eff
forts, and when the operator jumped to
the telephone and called up the police
the sound of the bell frightened the pair
away.
MIR. Casperson was armed and would
have made defense, but the telephone
bell very conveniently removed the nee
essity of his distributing any bullets or
of stopping any of those fired by his
callers. When Michael Dempsey, the
night Waterman, reached the yards he
could find no trace of the fugitives.
