The Pacific Mail Boycott.
In connection with recent cables as
to threatened boycott of the Pacific
Mail S. S. Co. by Hongkong Chinese,
the China Mail wrote as follows on
July l:
The Chinese of late years have keen
ly realized the powers that lie in the
boycott movement, and local CONNER
cial circles have been more than once
disturbed in consequence. The latest
instance of steps being taken in this
direction occurred within the last
few days, when rather strained rela-
lions for time prevailed between a
body of leading Chinese exporters and
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
Fortunately, however, wiser counsels
have prevailed, and the friction has
gradually simmered down until the
points at issue are now in a fair way
to amicable settlement. A representa-
tive of the China Mail this morning
called on a prominent Chinese mer-
chant with view to learning the cause
of the conflict between the parties
concerned as well as the present out
look in the matter. He was told that
some time ago certain complaints were
made by Chinese passengers using the
Pacific Mail boats, and that these, to-
gether with local matter, had greatly
irritated Chinese exporters in Hong
kong, who did good trade with the
company in shipments of merchandise
TO California. Honolulu and other
places. The biggest thorn in the side
of the Chinese was that there had been
erected over the entrance to the Pa
cific' Mail Co.'S offices notice in Chi
nese characters forbidding Chinese
merchants to enter by the front door
This severely wounded their suscepti
bilities, and as result meeting was
called to discuss the advisability OF
| instituting a boycott against the
company. This gathering was attend
ed by the Pacific Mail Co. IS compra
dore, who made certain explanations
| and indicated that the company were
extremely anxious TO do all in Their
power TO remedy the grievances com
planned of. A further meeting was
held few days later, but the actual
result of this our informant did not
know. From subsequent enquiries
| however, we have been able to gather
that at present there seems every rea
| son to believe that the matter will be
Immediately smoothed over, and that g
committee of the Chinese merchants
concerned viii shortly wait on the we'll
known agent of the company (Mr. S
! Silverstone) in order to formally set
! tie the business on satisfactory lines
| It appears that the management of the
company were totally unware of the
| little matters which gave rise to the
| friction until their notice was drawn
| to them, and in fairness to the compa
ny it should be stated that they i'm
mediately took steps to remove any
cause for complaint This applies a.
| we'll to the notice forbidding Chinese
merchants to use the front entrance
| which has since been removed 1t is
matter for qualification that things a
| present look so rosy and ripe for
mutually satisfactory agreement.
