Oonswl Sammons. of Nlu Chwang, China, ha? sent to the State Department a report in which he takes a very optimistic view of tho boycott of American goods. He declares that the strongest movement in favor of the boycott Is to be found iq Shanghai, where most American goods arc landed, but that only certain elements in the city favor It and the leading mer chants arc firmly opposed and wilt force the anti-American agitation to die out soon.

The cotton trade has a dangerous com petitor in Japan, and also in China itself, which yearly produces a large crop.

The trade with tne Straits Settlements and Indo-Chlna is also threatened by reason of the fact that the flour supply for these countries is controlled wholly by Chlnose mer chants. Boycott Situation Bejttcr. WASHINGTON. Aug. 26. Consul-General Rogers, at Shanghai, has cabled the State Department under today's date as follows: "While the boycott still continues, there are no disturbances, and the Chinese of ficials are endeavoring to suppress the movement.

CLEARS IIP MYSTERY Postal Robbers' Escape Due to Outside Assistance. TURNKEY IS UNDER ARREST Trainer and Cunningham, Xotcd Postofficc Thieves, Escape by Bribery of .Taller, It Is Claimed. LACROSSE. Wis., Aug. 25. The mys tery surrounding the escape of Homer E. Trainer and Androw Cunningham, two noted poptofflco robbers, from the La crosse County jail, was solved today when Turnkey "Larc" Chllders. a trusted Jail official, was arrested by PoiUofflcc In fractor Fraser. charged with being in strumental in making the escape possible. While ChlMero is not charged with ac cepting a bribe, it Is understood secret service officers will present evidence to prove that he accepted $100 from a mys terious woman claiming to be the wife of one of the crooks. The hearing Is to be held before United States Commission er Harrison September 4. The escape of Trainer and Cunningham was most sensational. Their oncape was so obviously planned from the outside that Inspector Stuart, of Chicago, ordered an investigation. It develops that a son of Mm Trainer confessed his mother paid $40) for the release of the crooks and that the turnkey was "fixed" a week before tho first delivery. James Crane, the remaining outlaw, confessed the plot to Inspector Fraser, and in his confession it developed that the robbers are members of the famous "Bllnkcy" Morgan gang of which Charles Lowry and Eddy Fay are members. The authorities expect to round up the gang through the evidence they have secured. Today a steel bar was found in the cell of Crane with which it la charged Chllders was preparing to arrange his escape upon threats from the gang of exposure. Mrs. Trainer is the wife of a prominent Clarksburg man. She eloped with Trainer some years ago and has lived with Mrs. Cunningham in Chicago, where they are known as respectable housewives. The first clew was secured from the Clarks burg husband and the detective work in the case Is considered remarkable. Chllders plead not guilty and was locked up in the Jail he left an hour before as a trusted official. TRIES TO RREAK COPPER MARKET, BUT UTTERLY FAILS. FoIIottw Defeat by Renewed Prediction of Awful Sufnnh In Metal, With Dark Uinta. NEW YORK. Aug. 26. (Special.) Thomas W. Lawson today attempted to break the copper market, which has been going up from day to day recent ly until now it Is- near the record price of 101. He failed to affect either the price of the metal or the price of Amalgamated Copper stocks. His is sue on the condition of the copper trade reached AVall street after the morning's break in the stock market was over, and thorefore it had no fur ther effect. This is what Lawson had to say; "Sixty days ago T went on record unqualifiedly that copper metal would break suddenly to the lowest price in recent years. I spoke from knowledge. If at liberty. I could publish ten linos and the bToak would be a reality. Ii looks this, morning as if others have unearthed facts. Therefore I wish to again be recorded. So sensational will be the smash. I believe, that it will carry the entire market to panic Cer tain interests are making desperate efforts to unload 900.608 shares. They have already distributed 400.009, now weakly held. The street should watch copper metal sharply. It Is the key to the present situation." John Stalton. who Is one of Wall street's and the copper trade's greatest authorities, declared that Lawson was wrong about the conditions of the copper trade. He said the price of copper might reach 17 cents a pound within a week, but that producers were not trying to corner the metal, the scarcity -of the metal being due to the excese've consumption.

PROGRAMME OF CONFERENCE Germany Accepts French Proposi tion, but Offers Amendment. PARIS. Aug. 26. Prince von Rado lln, the German Ambassador, today de livered to Premier Rouvier the reply of Germany to the French note con cerning the programme to be discussed at tho Morocco conference- The Am bassador remained for an extended discussion of the question, which Is considered to have somewhat improved as the result of Germany's reply. The reply deals consecutively with the various points of the French programme, and with the Introduction of some fresh subjects, which probably will entail the exchange of pour parlcrs or further note. However, It is certain that progress has been made, a Germany accepts the French proposition and merely suggests amendments. This fact gives reason for the belief that a definite agreement will be reached in a short time. The Foreign Office is examining Germany's reply and preparing an answer.

The City of Crandon. where the fatal shoot ing took place Thursday, Is thoroughly aroused. . A Coroner's jury has been summoned, but on account of the great difficulty encountered in getting, the evidenc eshowlng the facts of the snoot ing, the inquest has been delayed. In formation was received today from Crandon that the people were prepar ing a letter to the Attorney-General to the effect that the Coroner and tho grand Jury have been unable to get from the District Attorney a clear statement of the -occurrence and Inci dents immediately before and after. the firing of the fatal shot.
