THE NATIONAL. EXPENDITURE,
JAPAN'S ENORMOUS LIABILITIES,
The Chugai Shogya Skimpo, the leading commercial paper of Japan, in a review of the financial situation, expresses astonishment at the enormotts expansion of Japan's national expenditure, as shown in the summary, just published, of the estimates for the coming fis- cal
year. The Tokio journal observes that the next fiscal year exceeds 1,000 million yen, showing an increase of 110 millions on the as- timate for the present year, and of 130 millions over the estimate for fast year. This means that a larger expenditure is required for the coming year than for those years of the great est military activity experienced.
THE AMERICAN BOYCOTT. The boycott of American 'goods has been given at one cause of the Lien-chau massacre, and therefore should be mentioned here. The people of Lien chau knew all about the boy. cost. Placards bost heen pat up on the streets, The Viceroy's proclamation against the boy. con was put up in the city. It was said that Dr. Machle went to Canton because of the "The people of the Umpire," says the Cha boycolt trouble. It is also certain that some, at the termination of the wat, felt already some leading spirits had made a request to the relieved of their burden of taxes, but now they boycolt committee at Canton for literature and will be indeed surprised to find that the burden for a man to agitate the subject in Llen-chau is not to be tightened.
