Vancouver, B. C, Aug. 14. There
it a growing belief that tbe boycott
of American goodt in China originated
with tbe Japanese, and tbat their ob-
ect was to secure the rich trade of the
empire for themaelve. Hitherto tbe
Chineee provinces have acted independ
ently oi one another, bnt tbe concerted
action in the north and eouth ahowt
that a master hand baa brought about
the change. Ever ainca the war with
Russia began Japanese agents have
worked strenuously in China to make
their influence permanent. The boy
cott aeema to ahow how well they have
succeeded. The Oriental pre baa
much to aay of tbe boycott. Tba
Chin Mail aay.:
'Home of tbe soberer classes are ap
prehensive lest the pasaiont of tbe peo
ple abonld be roused by anch methods,
whereupon they may not hesitate to be
come iconoclastic and attack anything
lorergn, nnder tbe misapprehension
tbat all things foreign are American."
The Pekin and Tientsin Timea aays:
"Those who know the Chinese beet
cannot bat marvel at thia eudden out
burst of a patriotism which bad hither
to been absolutely non-exiitent, and
there are those who, reading between
the line, believe they aee tbe shade of
another nationality behind the Chineee
agitators." '
Tbe Hongkong Press tayt:
"Tbe way to suppress an anti-Amer
ican agitation in Canton la to start
another anti-anything, ro long aa it be
foreign. Tbe Chinese merchant
dropped the manifesto like a hot cinder
