CHINESE BOYCOTT OF
JAPANESE GOODS.
President Yuan Shi-kai Admonishes
Chinese to Show No Hostility.

Pekin, Aug. S.-CCorrespondenc Of
The Associated Press) so serious has
the boycott Of Japanese goods become
that the Japanese government has
made representations to the Chinese
government concerning 1t. It was the
practice formerly in China for the
guilds of business societies to organize
boycotts and see that they were main
tanned by all the people whom they
could control or influence; but the
alarmed during the negotiations with
Japan which began in January and
terminated in May, and Official in
structions were sent to all the COVER
nors of provinces to prevent any such
boycott. The people, however, felt so
strongly with regard to the JapaHese
demands that they passed the word
from one to another. and such a serious
boycott resulted that the Japanese
trade throughout China. which is es-
sential to the heavily taxed island
kingdom. has been seriously affected.
The Japanese legation in Picking has
again made representations to the
Wal Chino-Pu, the foreign Office, and
President Yuan Shi-Kai has promul-
gated another lengthy mandate in
which he states: although it must be
acknowledged that our citizens are
prompted by patriotism. they should
be wise enough. to recognize what is
more vital and serious To satisfy
ones momentary anger is not an action
BETTING a wise man. The people
should therefore be peaceful in their
yocations and show no hostility to any
one people; neither should they enter
tain any suspicion. The Chung Chun
fmilitary conimanders) and governors
should. whenever they hear of any
boycotting against foreign goods or
movement anti-foreign in spirit, do
their utmost to explain matters with
a view to suppressing such deeds. Any
attempt to disturb the peace should be
strictly dealt with, SO that our rner-
chants may not suffer any more than
they do now, nor our diplomatic affairs
be further complicated"

Pedestrians on the streets should
be very careful now while the streets
are torn up for improvements. While
the contractors and city officials are
doing all they possibly can to avert
accidents, carelessness on the part of
individuals might cause serious injury.
There are numerous places where pc
destrians are required to walk boards,
in getting across the streets, and al
so, to pass through between piles of
brick and other materials. Care on
the part of everyone will obviate
many accidents that might occur.
