Boycott a Bugaboo, ',
Vlctorm. 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.

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.

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

Washington, f fc ,ily 28. 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.
