BOYCOTT REACHES U. S.

Seattle, Wash, July 27-The far
reaching effect of the Chinese boycott
against everything Japanese was eyi
denced here today with the sailing OF
the steamer Shawmut, carrying a ca
pacity cargo to the Orient, consisting
for the most part of shipments made
by local Chinese firms. Under ordi
mary conditions practically all of thes
shipments would have gone on the
steamer Iyo. which sailed more than
a week ago. but the determination Of
the Chinese to boycott the Japanese
line caused the Iyo to sail without q
single Chinese passenger passenger
and with practically no consignments
of freight fro mthe Chinese mer
chants.

Only a few feet ahead Of the engine
was the river and over the river hung
the charred remains Of the big bridge,

THE necessity of providing add.

solution the telephone will undoubt.

New York Central, the Pennsylvania
and the Union Pacific, have estab

to educate operators. Other roads
have had recourse to the telephone as
an auxiliary and the Pennsylvania and
New York Central "a we'll have made
experimental installations The prac
.icability of utilizing telephony In
train-dispatching has greatly increased
by the development of the telegra
phone system, which. by providing Sc
lective devices in connection with the
telephones and the Morse instruments,
permits the use of one circuit for the
simultaneous communication of tele
graphic and telephone messages. The
Southern Pacific system has now on

orators at telegraphone stations by
connecting telephone instruments car

many interurban electric roads. The
advantages in permitting the employ
ment al Intermediate stations of sta

orators are apparent, and the system,
which has been in operation for about
IS months, has been found to work
satisfactorily in every way, One dis.
advantage sometimes urged against
telephony as a means of directing
train operation. namely. that a very
large portion of sounds heard over a
