GOVERNMENTS REPORT
SHOW BOYCOTT INJURY
From South China Comes Statement
That Many Years viii Be Needed
to Remove Its Effects.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 16.--From the
many reports received by the state de-
partment from its representatives in
the East relative to the anti Ameri-
can boycott, two selected at 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 10 trade
limits.
The report from North China brings
the history of events up 70 the close of
1905. At that date the boycott move
ment had been NEARLY all talk" in the
principal cities, says the correspondent,
who adds
"As to the condition. il can only be
said that thorough investigation will
prove that trade competition has as
much TO do with il as Chinese antag-
onism. That underhanded methods have
been employed against the Standard
Oil Company and the British-American
Tobacco Company is becoming palmer
every day. At present the attack on
these two companies is apparently cen
tered in and around Hsnkow, where cir.
culars have appeared, and also many
evidences OF unfriendly intent.
but at Sooehow, Chinkiang, 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 arc
against the boycott, but under the lash
of the guilds they must give half
hearted acquiecenoe at least. If the
officials so desire they can squelch the
"reminiscences of the movement in this
section and by so doing gain the sup
port OF the merchants. But again there
| is the now powerful student elsss, which
under the teachings of foreign educated
Chinese and perhaps others not friendly
to American interests where they con-
lict with their own, has developed an
influence recognized by officials, guilds,
merchants and laborers."
! From south China, and in fact, clear
down TO the Straits Settlements, comes
| the report that there Is no improvement
/ in the boycott situation; that trade is
/ badly affected in most lines. and there
4 Is little or no business outside the small
European trade. An American sewing
machine company reports that Chinese
are afraid 10 20 into its place, although
/ some WOuiu HE 70 buJ bub uhie NV
have q machine in their possession. Still
the authorities claim there is no recog.
milton here"
The report concludes: "If the boycott
is called oil tomorrow it will take many
years TO remove tho i'll effect from the
injury done. AZ Penang, American frm'
could not move any American goods in
their godowns, and Chinese refuse to
take the goods which they had already

Agna, Guam, Jan. 5, (By correspond

a more fourishing condition than for
some time past, trade having received
a considerable impetus from the forma-
ton of several new concerns and the in

The American schooner North Star,
Capt. Fraser, was wrecked on the east

The Single Step.

"There is no field Of thought re-

"The great poet" the Office Philoso-
pher continued, lis he who, by some
divine instinct, recognizes the point
where the variation Of a single line or
word would result in taking this unfor-

not recognize this danger point, and so
his melody degenerates into discord and
his pathos into bathos. Don't you think

GUNS FOR LEGATION

New York, Feb 16.--A special cable
from London says:
The rekin correspondent OF the Times
says that all the legation guards have
been warned that danger is impending.
The secretary Of the German legation
has obtained an additional field battery.
The position in China lie becoming in
crcasingly ugly. The trouble will prob
ably spread from the south to the north.
The government, eager to save the
dynasty, is seeking to placate the for
eigners. Viceroy Yuan Shin Kai, on the
pretenee Of suppressing the Chunehuses,
who are absolutely quiescent, is sending
six regiments with artillery to Chinchow.
TIT is presumed that the real reason for
the dispatch of these troops is that the
army is honeycombed with secret So
cieties, and the government wishes to
remove dangerous weapon from the
neighborhood Of the capital.
