CHINA BEGINS BOYCOTT.
Insulting Aggression of Japan Is Given
as Reason.
Tokio, Oct. 12.—Copies of circulars
issued in North China b y a body of
Chinese calling itself the Popular A h
sociation of the Three Eastern Prov
inces have been received in Japan after
having been spread broadcast among
Chinese of the lower classes. The cir
culars contain inflammatory statements
against the Japanese. They bear upon
what is called the “ weakness of poor
China“ and the “ insulting aggression
of Ja p a n .“
Assort ions are made that Japan has
devastated the arable lands of North
China and has enslaved laborers along
the lino of the Antung-Mukden railroad,
that Japanese officials have beaten the
men, insulted the women and terrorized
the people.
The circulars point out that the weak
ness of China in a military sense
makes it impossible for her to resent
this treatment, except by a boycott, and
call upon the people of China generally
to refuse all dealings with the Japanese
All students and persons who value
freedom are called upon to propagat
the doctrines and join in adopting tin
programme of the association. Failinj
in this, they are threatened with vio
lence and even death.
The document concludes with the re
quest that Chinese vehicles, vessels and
railroads refuse to carry Japan«
goods. An endless chain is sought on
the request that patriotic citizens int
whose hands the circulars may fall shall
have them reprinted and scattered
broadcast, until Japan is completel
shut out from all commercial commun
cation with China.
These circulars have created some
thing of a sensation in Japan. Effort
is being made to prevent the spreading
of their contents among Japanese of th<
ignorant class because the danger of
arousing feeling at this time is recog
nized.
Meanwhile there is reason to believi
that Japan has called, or will immedi
ately call the attention of the Chinese
authorities to the boycott propaganda
demanding that the circulars be out
lawed ns illegal documents, and that th
Popular Association of the Three East
ern Provinces be brought under disc
pline.
The exact method by which China i

is not known, but it is believed here

UNCLE SAM TO P R O T E S T .

International Law.
W ashington, Oct. 8. — Additional
facts shedding lig h t on the diplom atic
situation which led up to the negotia
tion of the trea ty between China and
Japan relating to the reconstruction of
the Antung-Mukden railroad were se
cured today from reliable Bources. This
inform ation only tends to confirm the
impression th a t the United S ta te s may
be called upon to protest a g ain st a vio
lation of the “ open door” agreem ent
in China and discredits the rep o rt th a t
C harles R. Crane, of Chicago, the new
m inister to China, has reen recalled
from San FranciBco by Philander C.
Knox, secretary of state, prim arily for
the purpose of receiving a reprim and
for alleged indiscreet rem arks in re
spect to the relations betw een China
and the U nited States. Such talk a t
present merely beclouds w hat, in the
opinion of those who know, is a serious
situation.
As previously indicated, the crisis in
the diplom atic situation in China is
not the outcome of any one act or cir
cum stance. I t is learned th a t negotia
tions between China and Jap an had
proceeded for some tim e under the
w atchful eye of the United S ta te s and
other nations, previous to the signing
of the treaty between China and Japan
early in July. A t the tim e the pact
waa signed it iB understood to have
been the belief of the sta te d ep art
m ent, based on inform ation from Min
iste r Rockhill a t Pekin and from other
sources, th a t the question a t issue be
tween China and Japan would not be
definitely concluded for a t least two
years. It is known th a t the Chinese
foreign office thought it would take
three years.
A cting on this belief, Mr. Rockhill
Bailed for the U nited S ta te s on June
20, and Thomas J . O ’Brien, United
S ta te s am bassador to Japan, sailed
from Yokohama on leave of absence on
June 26. To the surprise of the sta te
departm ent, the trea ty betw een Japan
and China relatin g to the reconstruc
tion of and concessions along the South
Manchurian and A ntung-M ukden ra il
roads was signed early in Ju ly over the
pro test of China.
Had this event been expected, it is
not believed here th a t Mr. Rockhill
would have le ft his post a t P ekin or
th a t Mr. O ’Brien would have returned
home a t th a t tim e, particularly when
the agreem ent between China and
Jap an was believed even then to con
tain some provision inim ical to the
“ open door” policy in the O rient.
I t is said th a t diplom atic hints to
Jap an th a t a violation of the “ upen
door” policy was contem plated in the
proposed trea ty were rnet w ith denials
I t is ¿now understood th a t th is tre a ty
gives an exclusive rig h t to Chinese
and Japai ese only to exploit the mines
on both sides of the South M anchurian
and Antung-M ukden railroad. F u rth er
more, it is said there is no lim itatio n
as to how fa r e ith e r Bide of these ra il
roads these exclusive rig h ts shall ob
tain. In e ith e r case, such an ag ree
m ent is regarded in W ashington as a
violation, in sp irit a t least, of both
the Hay “ open door” policy and the
Portsm outh treaty.

EXPLOSION KILLS 3 2 .
British Columbia Mine S c a n t o f Aw
ful D isaster.
Ladysm ith, B. C., Oct 6 .—As a re
sult of the explosion of fire-damp in
the E xtension mine of the W ellington
Colliery company near here yesterday,
32 m iners lust th eir lives and g re at
dam age was done to the m ine prop
e rty. Up to 11 o’clock last night 18
bodies had been recovered and 14 more
wore known to be entom bed in the
mine.
Thomas Hislop, who was one of the
last of the 700 m iners and associates
who scurried from the Extension mine
a fte r the disastrous explosion, gave a
most graphic account of the accident.
“ I was w orking w ith 16 men, includ
ing five of the dead, on the first level
when we heard the explosion,” said
he. “ We stood for a second in the
darkness. The rush of air put our lam ps
out, until some one came w ith a
safety lamp, and 15 of the 17 of us,
holding coat tails, hurried along,
holding the lam p ahead to see the g lis
tening of the rails. We made little
headway before we were driven back.
“ The damp drove us back into the
level again. We tried to clam ber out
into the cross-cut, but were driven
from there. In No. 3 counter-level we
left five men, Alex McLellan, Jack
Ism aster, W inn Steel, Fred Ingham
and Bob W hite. When we lost them,
we did not know the dam p had got
them . We knew nothing then except
th a t the smoke and dam p w ere chasing
us back whichever way we w ent. F i
nally we sa t down to figure out w hat
could be done. We were tired and
beaten back. The fire-damp came so
thick and fa st the a ir could not be
breathed and we had to run back again.
“ We had given up hope and decided
to w a it for death, when we heard a
shout and Alex Shaw, the forem an and
Davidson, who lost his son in the
mine, came. When we heard th eir
shouts instructing us, we sm ashed
through to the slope and crawled over
to safety. Then, fatigued and worn
out, we clam bered up the slope, clirg -
ing to each o th e r’s coattails, and helped
by men who m et us w ith saftey lan
terns. We w aited a t the slope-head
