native paper the Viceroy of Canton telegraphed to the Peking Government, on or about April 26, that the boycott bad been stopped. If the "Suopao's" information is correct, nobody is more to be congratulated than Viceroy Chang Jéo-chan. Unfortunately there has been no confirmation of a piece of news which, if ac A.
·curate, could scarcely have remained the pro- perty of a single newspaper. In any case it will be felt that a boycott which has already spread as far as New South Wales, is too gradual a movement to be stopped all in a moment. On the other hand, and here we may find the best hope for a timely collapse of the undertaking, the Cantonese Associaț tions of Self-Government, with which the idea originated, have conspicuously failed to gain support for their action among their fellow pro vincials in important quarters abroad. From the very outset the body of Chinese merchants in Japan hat been opposed in the project ; and, according to one of our recent telegrams the Cantonese of Tokio are vigorously circularizing their countrymen on the folly of the whole pro- ceeding. Meanwhile it is beypad dispute that the boycott has already begun to hit Japanese firms severely, Hitherto it is said that the shipping firms are suffering most. Japanese coal and matches, which are practically indis. pensable, appear to be still sold, Put, even Japanese marine products, once thought 10".be", [secure,_are_now affected, and such articles-65- can be replaced by foreigo goods are said to be heavily touched.
