CHINA APPLIES BOYCOTT.
Refuses to Buy American Goods Owing
to Our Exclusion and Deportation
of Celestials.
China will oppose to Chinese exclu¬
sion Us boycott of American goods.
This was announced officially Thurs¬
day by the Chinese legation in Wash¬
ington.
Asked what was meant by the no¬
tion of China in decided not to pur¬
chase American goods, the Chinese
minister said;
“It means business. Chfna will not
buy a yard of American goods while
America violates her treaty obliga¬
tions by excluding ot deporting Chi¬
nese. "
The Chinese diplomat explained that
the treaty of 1808 between China and
America gave America full freedom
of Intercourse. Chinese, under that
treaty, could come to America, and
America could trade with China. This
treaty was modified by the treaty of
1880, which provided that the United
3tatea and China might make an
agreement excluding Chinese labor¬
ers. This was done in 1894 by a
treaty limited to 10 years, which trea¬
ty expired last year. The expiration
of this treaty, the Chinese diplomat
asserts, places tho two countries in
the position in which they wore
placed by the treaty of 1880. Ev¬
ery Chinaman excluded or deported
is excluded or deported in violation
of the treaty obligations of the Unit¬
ed States to China. The only way in
which there can be any such exclu¬
sion, the Chinese hold, is by a treaty
providing for it. No such treaty is
now in force.
Among other Interests which will
suffer soverely from the boycott are
tho cotton growers and millers of the
south, China being a large consumer
of American cotton and cotton goods.

War Department.
A Manila dispatch, under Friday»
date, is as follows; The Moro out
laws, against whom General Leonard
Wood has been campaigning, have
been killed in action together witn
all principals. The outlaws were sup¬
porters and followers of the Sultan
of Sulu. The large chiefs of the
Island of Jolo were also Involved.
The outbreak was an aggregation of
piratical outlaws and disorderly char¬
acters of Sulu and the other islands
stretching down to Borneo.
The position selected by the out¬
laws for the battle was an almost Im¬
penetrable Jungle and exceedingly
strong, prohibiting the use of artil¬
lery and necessitating close contact
and an assault In two Instances. Gen¬
eral Wood’s forces sustained a loss of
nine killed and twenty-one wounded.
The wounded are doing well. The
constabulary had two killed. Tho
latter were highly praised by General
Wood, who said:
“Tho troops behaved splendidly and
performed, this difficult service in a
highly creditable manner."
General Wood Iras returned to Zam¬
boanga with the troops.

That the Southern Cotton Associa¬

which he announces that on June 1st,
of this year, the most complete cotton

given out from the association.
For that purpose he has called a
meeting of the state secretaries to

The open shop was endorsed and the

President of Teamsters' Union Prevents
Settlement of Chicago Strike.
At Chicago Thursday, President Cor¬

ternational Union, threw cold watei
on all peace moves. He declared that
he had uot considered arbitration in
any form between the team owners'
association and the teamsters’ union,
and that he had never agreed to ar¬
bitrate the question of whether the
teamsters should deliver to boycotted
houses. The declaration of Shea
came as a surprise to all concered,
and threw the whole peace move up
in tho air.

The Unwelcome Suitor.
The girl who wants to get rid of a
persistent and tiresome caller usually
does everything she can to show him
he is unwelcome without openly tell¬
ing him so. Her performances are
many and intere-sting.
First she pleads other engage¬

Her next dodge is to "big brother”
him.
The third scheme is to act natural,
so horribly natural that anybody but
a born idiot would take the hint.
That failing she takes to palming
him off on her family.
Then she gPes away his flowers
and insists upon her small brother
gobbling up his chocolate creams un¬
der his very nose.
Next she abu es him. She makes
appointments with him and takes
pains not to keep them. She gives
his dances to a>ome one else. She
goes off rowing-, ith a rival when she
has promised shins ti go drivng with him
When she herself up in her
room and refuses to see him the de¬
sired result is g uerally accomplished,
even where al other methods have
failed.
If he still comes, she can either
ask her father to hit him in the head
with an axe or she can ask him why
he doesn’t get married, so he will
have some place to spend his even¬
ings. Then he will either propose or
quit. If he proposes she can refuse
him, and he Is sure to come no morer

average cost of a locomotive fully
equipped for service was $12,500, it is
now $15,000, and the heavier train¬

GREAT CHAMGE
From Change in Food,
The brain depends much more on the
stomach than we are apt to suppose un¬
til we take thought in the matter.
Feed the stomach on proper food easy
to digest and containing the proper
amount of phosphates and the healthy
brain will respond to all demands. A
notable housewife in Buffalo writes:
“The doctor diagnosed my trouble ns
n ‘nervous affection of the stomach.’ I
was actually so nervous that I could
not sit still for fire minutes to read the
newspaper, and to attend to my house¬
hold duties was simply impossible. I
doctored all the time with remedies,
but medicine did no good.
“My physician put me on ail sorts of
diet, and I tried many kinds of cereal
foods, but noue of them agreed with
me. I was almost discouraged, and
when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with
many misgivings-il had no faith that it
would succeed where everything else
had failed.
“But it did succeed, and you don’t
know how glad I am that I tried it. I
feel like a new person. I have gained In
weight and I don’t have that terrible
burning sensation _r. my stomach any
more. 1 feel so strong again that l am
surprised at myself. The street noises
that used to irritate me so, I never
notice now. and my mind is so clear
that my household duties are a real
pleasure.”
Name given by Pcs turn Co., Cattle
Creek, Mich.
There’s a reason.
Now why was this great change made
in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with tbe right kind of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centres in these organs. It is ab¬
solute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way,
and that is to quit the old food that has
tailed and take oii Grape-Nuts food,
which is more than half digested in the
process 'he phosphate of manufacture of notasli and contained is rich in in
the natural grain, which unites with
albumen and water—the only three
avay substances filling in that the wiljl thousands make op of the delicate soft
nerve centres in the ^i brain and body.
Grape-Nuts food is >v.re read back to
health in all such cases.
STRIKE MAY EXTEND.
New Impetus Given Trouble in Chicago
by Arbitrary Demands of Team¬
sters' Union Leaders.
Sunday brought no change in the
attitude of either side to the labor
controversy now in progress in Chi¬
cago, and everything points to an ex¬
tension of the teamsters’ strike to
many other business houses. Officials
of the seven express companies whose
refusal to reinstate any of their strik¬
ing employees, caused the collapse of
the settlement of the trouble, still
adhere to their determination not to
give employment to any of their for¬
mer employees and tbe other firms
involved in the difficulty declared
that they would stand by the ex¬
press companies in the fight. Tbe
teamsters' union has just taken as
firm a stand as the employers, and
it was stated by President Shea that
the union would never call off the
strike until the express companies’
came to terms.
The first spread of the strike is ex¬
pected to come when the Lumber¬
men’s Association, an organization
employing 2,400 teamsters, issues an
order to their men to make deliver¬
ies to all business houses, regardless
of whether they are involved in the
strike or not.
In anticipation of such an order the
teamsters met Sunday afternoon and
voted to go on strike should any
teamster be discharged for refusing
to obey the order of the association.
With non-union drivers making de¬
liveries for the lumbermen, the trou¬
ble will undoubtedly spread to affiliat¬
ed. industries, as the union men em¬
ployed on buildings will refuse to
handle material delivered to non¬
union labor. Should this strike be
called, tnere seems to be nothing that
can prevent a general industrial up¬
heaval in Chicago.
Levy Meyer, chief counsel for the
Employers’ Association, gave out a
statement Cunday night, in which he
said;
“The employers propose to do busi¬
ness and will continue to invoice every
legal avenue for the protection of
their men and property. That the
employers are right in the attitude
they have assumed in the controversy
was demonstrated by the fact that
every term and condition they insist¬
ed on was agreed to by Shea and his
Notwithstanding this,
however, Shea now insists tljat the. ex¬
press companies be boycotted by us
in order to bring about a settlement
of the strike.
“This we will never do, and even
if we were willing to comply with
the demands of Shea to take such
action would be a crime which no
law-abiding person would countenance.
The teamsters struck against the ex¬
press companies in violation of the
letter of their agreement, despite the
fact that the men were told that if
they struck they -would not be re-em¬
ployed. The employers’ association to
a man believe that the seven express
companies are justified in the stand
they have taken and our organization
will use every endeavor to assist the
express companies in maintaining the
decision they have reached. Of
course, this decision means that there
will be no settlement of the strike
unless the union withdrawn its de¬
mand, but it is the only thing left for
us to do.”
Alonzo Wygant, general agent of
the United States Express company,
said that so far as a settlement of
the strike was concerned, the only
way it could be ended would be for
the teamsters to surrender.

Widespread attention has been at¬

the provisions of the old Chinese ex¬

of the large volume of our cotton

A Short Lesson in Platitudes.
We notice that fun is being poked
at Vice President Fairbanks for the
platitudes of his speeches, of
we seem to he in for a long
But we must bear in mind the simple
distinction oetween the solemn
the strenuous platitude. Mr. Fair¬
banks is easily the master of the for¬
mer. When he says, for example,
political parties “should stand for
those measures which are wholesome,”
he does it with a kind of dying fall
which inspires general gloom. But
how easy it would be for him to add
the little more and how much it is!
If he would but fiercely defy a world
in arms to challenge his statement
that "we gladly acknowledge one
country,” or threaten to thrash within
an inch of his life any scoundrel who
should question his affirmation that
“our laws must be inspired by a sense
of justice," he might fairly hope to be
compared to Pericles, and to be listen¬
ed to by his awe-struck countrymen as
an avatar of eloquence and wisdom.
“If you wish to see me weep.” says
Horace, in his famous advice to
American orators, “make your plati¬
tudes strenuous.”
Rembrandt and Murillo.
Through the eighteenth century
Dutch painters, like these of other
countries, turned to Italy for inspira¬
tion; Rembrandt's marvels of light
were forgotten or condemned by ig¬
norant critics; his portraits, that
search into the souls of his subjects,
despised for their "laborious, ignor¬
ant diligence.” He was neglected,
while Murillo continued to be abund¬
antly admired. Now, however, Mu¬
rillo is esteemed less highly, and Rem¬
brandt has been restored to his place
among the giants.—St. Nicfcolas
