The morchunt reached Tucoma Thurs day on the steamer Shawmut. On account of his business rela tions with both Germany and Eng lish Interests In China, he Is loath to allow his numo to be used In an Interview In connection with the subject, but when assured on this point by a Slur man, who boarded the Shawmut at Port Townsend for the purpose ot securing the Interview, the American merchant spoke wll Hngly and freely. Ituycotl Only llegiin. Contradictory to statements made by Secretary of War Taft, the mer thunt says that. Instead of the boy Oott being broken, It has only Just be gun. "I cannot understand," said he, "how the secretary can have the nervo' to bring such an erroneous re port back to the- United States with lm. I do not believe that he investi gated the boycott question as closely as he should to warrant his making such an assertion. "In an article appearing In the North China Dally News In Septem ber, written by a prominent Chinese merchant. It was slated that 70 per cent of American manufactured goods was consumed by China. Any person familiar with this subject In the Ori ent knows this to be Incorrect China consumes about three-fourths of one por cent of the manufactured Ameri can goods. "Kngllsh papers In China snup up all such, articles for the purpose of deceiving their readers. 1 "Between July If and October 1, i Ota New Tork Exporting & Importing '' company did not take a single order ' .for China. The British American To bacco company, operating vessels on the West river, China, has placed its boats out of commission. The lost round trip of one of these boats, tak ing two months, was made without selling one ounce of tobacco. ' "So Intense was the feeling In Hong kong against American goods that the Chinese burned heaps of the compa ny's tobacco in the streets. . . "Regarding the sale of American flour In China," continued the mer ehant, "In order to do any business at all, compradores (contractors) are forced to resack the American flour and brand the same as Chinese. One eompradore is now erecting a mill In Hongkong with a capacity of 2000 barrels dally." 1 American manufacturers, who have awakened to the real danger of the situation, have sent emissaries to China to try to heal the breach, ac cording to the Shawmut passenger. "Octts Brothers, the big merchants of Ban Francisco," said he. "sent out their manager, Mr. Tuttle, recently. After a thorough Investigation, he threw up his hands and returned home. "If the backbone of the boycott Is broken, as Secretary Taft claims, why are the American representatives re turning, discouraged and disgusted?' asked the Shawmut passenger. "Many of the prominent firms In China who have hitherto been doing trading largely In American flour, kave suspended business altogether. "The only American goods now be ing sold to China are those contracted for before the. boycott and which the Chinese patrons In China arc obliged to receive." Standard Oil Hit. The merchant statos that the sup oscdty Invincible 'Standard Oil com pany has also felt the effect of the boycott and that recently a shipment of several thousand cases of oil from Shanghai to Ningpu was refused when delivered at their destination. "On the arrival ot the oil at the latter port," said hte merchant, "dur ing the meeting of a guild, at which 900 Chinese merchants were present, It was unanimously resolved that not one dollar's worth of American goods jvould be purchased by them. "And If th'ls looks II ko a. discontin uance of the boycott, I want to know?" concluded the American. - These statements bear out the warning of J. J. Hill, given In an ex clusive Interview with the Star on his last visit here. Mr. Hill declared that the boycott was the most serious prob lem confronting the United States at the present time.
