II. C., July :s. The I threatened boycott of American goods In China Is a bugaboo, according to Dr. Morrison, Pekln correspondent of the London Times, when he arrived here from the Orient this morning. He says the agitation is of enmpara tlvely small proportions. (Trtiut Khous SliihlMirnnnw. I Washington, July 28. Some doubt j is expressed in official circles whether It will In- possible to obtain China's, consent .to another treaty with the United Slates providing for ewon tho j exclusion of Chinese laborers from I this country. The slate department Is j aware of ill feeling throughout China on the whole subject, and nov that ' the Immigration treaty with China lias he. 'U allowed to lapse without the negotiation of a new agreement, re ports have reached here that China is Inclined hereafter to refuse to sign any similar convention. China's position appears to lie that the exclusion of the Chinese citizens from n friendly country Is in itself a disgrace, nnd while she cannot ignore the laws of a 'foreign power providing for such exclusion, she can refuse to sanction it ' or become party to It by concluding a treaty Involving such re strictions. A year ago, It Is said, it would have been easy to conduct ne gotiations with China for the exclu sion of Chinese laborers only. Now, however. It is understood the Chinese officals are disposed to regard the signing of a treaty beneath the digni ty of their government. The reason for the assumption at Pekln of this new attitude is not quite clear to the officials here, though in some circles It Is attributed to the in fluence of foreign powers.

Washington, July 28. As a clearer idea is gained of Japan's peace terms, the skepticism with which Washing ton received the European reports that Japan would demand neutraliza tion of Vladivostok Ib lessened. In fact. It Is learned that not only Is this likely to constitute one of Japan's demands, but it will be accompanied by a startling counter proposal, lu effect, according to seemingly well Informed sources, Japan will propose in return for the neutralization of this last Russian stronghold on the Pacific not to fortify Port Arthur. Should this Information prove correct It will change entirely the view which has prevailed in official circles that the question of Vladivostok's neutraliza tion could not reasonably be made a part of Japan's peace price. laimn's Conee4ou.

IaR Ear Diseased. George Strand, the well known high school student and athlete was brought down this morning from Bingham Springs suffering from an affection of his left ear. which Is re garded as of a very serious nature, and Is causing him great pain. His ear Is considerably swollen, and It is possible an operation may have to be performed. This evening a thorough examination Is to be made by Dr. Cole, and If surgical work Is consid ered necessary he will probably be sent to Portland for an operation by a specialist. A proposition has been suggested by which the teachers might assume the financial responsibility and carry on the school, but It will not be coun tenonced by the regents, as under the law the school must be under tlia management of the regents.

While reports regardls .outlook for the wheat crop orjl ;ernbly at vari ance the repoi ItTsijTnlng the corn crop for 1305 are nearly all to the ef fect that the outlook Is favorable for a large crop. The total estimated acreage of corn this year is 94,236,000 acres, an Increase of 1,500,000 acres over last year. The condition of the crop the opening of the month was 88.4. The harvest, will, of course, depend upon growing conditions the remainder of the season. Throughout the corn belt the crop has so far pro gressed nicely. The outs crop gives every Indication of being up to normal, under th- slightly Increased acreage. It seems safe to anticipate a yield aggregating in the neighborhood of 5(00,000,000 bushels, but this, of course, may have to be modified later. The rye and barley outlook Is good. $10,116 PER MI I.E. Salem Will Invest ill a Mucadam Kx IK'rlnient. Salem. Ore., July 28.
