FIGHT ON BOYCOTT.
Chinese
uavernment Will Take
a f'rni Stand.
Seatt!e,.Aug. 26. The Chinese gov
eminent has succeeded in breaking up
meetings held for the purpose of (boy
cotting American goods and is prevent
lug the spread of the movement by
agitating the spread of the movement
by agitators. The vernacular press has
been compelled to abandon its cam
paign, but among those who have taken
up the fight no headway has been
made toward its suppression.
This is the way Woo Bing, a partner
in Quong Tuck & Co., sums up the sit
uation. He has just returned from
China, and is convinced that as soon
as a new treaty is signed or a promise
of changes is made by the American
Government, the sentiment among
those who have led the fight will die
out.
"It is impossible for the Chinese gov
eminent to compel Chinese to eat Amer
ican flour or to buy American goods,"
said Woo Bing today. "Bui the govern
ment can and is succeeding in breaking
up the boycott meetings. The govern
ment has succeeded in stopping the
representatives of the bo)cotterB who
go from town to towu to talk agairst
American goods, and strangers going
into a new town for news of the fight
find it ulmort impossible to learn any
thing. The boycotters are afraid to
bol l nillic iiift tin;8 or to give infor
mation to those they do not know.
"Of course, the boycott has spread
widely and a large percentage of Chi
nese know of the fight Some of the
boycotters have secured copies of all
American trademarks and other 6i'gns
that show American manufacture.
These have been- shown the people, so
they wiil know what not to buy. This
wo? k has stopped because the govern
ment interfered."
Piiva e iet'ers receivid today fiom
China indicate that at Shanghai ai d
Hongkong theie is a sentiment growing
in favor of patching np the trouble at
once. One letter received bv a biir Chi-1
nesrf importing house says Ameiican
goods ure cheaper and better than those
of other countries and shrewd Chinese
traders want to be put on good terms
again.
The I'ewa of Minister Conger's Btate
ment that the boycott amused him has
reached the guilds and this will mini
mize any influence he might have had
it sent on a mission of peace.
Deputy Davis ia Accused.
Pendleton, Or., Aug. 25. The tota
shortage found by experts in the books
of the Sheriff's office of Umatilla coun
ty, is 89051.88, divided between the
tenuis uf William Blakeley and T. D
Taylor. Under Taylor there occurred
a shortage of $3479.76, and under Blake
ley, a shottHge of $5572.12. The re
port of the experts was completed this
morning find the shortages made known
to the county court.
Immediately upon receiving notice of
the amounts due the county under
their tespective terms, ex-Sheriff
Blakeley md Sheriff T. D. Taylor gave
checks for the full amounts to the
C unty Treasurer, thus closing the mat
ter as far as the claims against them
are concerned.
The blame for the shortages is placed
upon C. P. Davis, who was chief
deputy in the office during the terms of
P.lakelev ant Taylor. The shortages
weie caused by withdrawals of small
amounts of funds extending over the
entire period during which Davis has
been deputy. Davis is now in Portland,
and it is understood that criminal action
will be taken against him: at once.
Aside from the above amount paid
by Sheriff Taylor, that official had al
ready made some payments on the al
leged shortage at the time the shortage
was first discovered, consequently his
loss is heavier than indicated today.
According to Taylor it is near $5100.
New Treaty Agreed On.
London, Aug. 25 The Associated
Pres has good reason for stating that a
new Anglo-Japanese treaty of alliance
may have been Bigned. The Foreign
Office declines to give official confirma
tion or denial, but the Associated Press
understands font the treaty was signed
some days ago. There is no reason
why it should not be signed prior to the
conclusion of the Portsmouth confer
ence, as the aotion of that conference
will not f fleet its terms.
The new treaty is broader in scope in
some respects than the former treaty,
notably where it recognizes the protec
torate by Japan over Corea and on
other points which it was not necessary
to include in the old treaty.
In some respects, the new treaty con
tains limitations as compared with the
Id treaty. For instance, the latter
contained a clmseto the effect that in
case of a combination of powers against
Great Britain, Japan would be obliged
tr assist ber ally, while the clause in
the new treaty only requires the acsis
tance of Japan so far as BriUnh colonies
in the Far East and the Pacific are
concerned.
The Associated Press understands
that the terms of the new treaty were
fully aereed upon before Parliament ad-
ourned, but it was also agreed that the
official announcement of its signature
and of its full terms should be deferred
ntil after the conclusion of the Ports
mouth conference.
IIocli Saved Again.
Chicago, Aug. 24. -Johan Hoch, the
man of n any wives, convicted for the
murder of one of tberu, and under
sentence of death, has escaped the gal
lows a third time, fie was to be hang
ed here tomorrow, but a supe-sedeas
was issued here today on an order of
Justice MiGiuder of the Supreme
Court.
The Justice said that he bad carefully
examined the records presented by
Hoch 'a attorneys, and his study of
them satisfied him that there was suf
ficient doubt to justify a review of the
entire case by the Supreme Court. The
case will come up at the October term
of the supreme court at Springfield, IP.
Hoch has been confidant that the Ben
'ence of banging would not be inflicted.
He had very little to say when inform
ed of the action of the Justice. Jailer
Wbeatman said it was the first time in
his experience that a prisoner has ex
hibited no concern about his fate the
lay previous to the execution.
Hoch was smoking a cigar when told
of the issuance of the writ.
"I am not guilty of this ho rible
murder," he Bid. "and now 1 will have
the opportunity of proving myself inno
cent before the highest court in the
state. I never felt that I would go to
the gallows. I may be guilty of other
crimes, but never of that murder."
