jured bjr tlie Boycott -
That Germany and England are be
hind (ho Chlneao boycott Is the starti
ng charge . made by a prominent
American communion merchant ot
Hongkong, who arrived In Seattle Frl
ay from China, says the Seattle Star.
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.

Several ISoaU Ara Now Getting Ready

Although the matter of river trans

showed an enterprising spirit and
their action will be on abrupt mark
n the future history and development
of this city.
