Government House,
Hongkong, 8th.September, 1905.
As you are doubtless aware there
has been for some months in the Treaty Ports of China an
organised attempt by the Chinese to "boycott" American
goods as a protest against the administration of the United
States law excluding Chinese labourers. This "boycott" has
been a source of considerable inconvenience at some of the
Ports and has not been without danger to foreign trade and
foreign settlements in China.

On the 11th. August a notice ap-
-peared in one of the Chinese Newspapers published in Hong-
-kong announcing a meeting to be held here on the 12th. in
connection with a telegram from Shanghai urging the Chinese
in this Colony to join the movement. As I was advised that
this meeting could not, under section 51 of Ordinance No.3
of 1888, be held without my sanction I caused the promoters
to be so informed.
