But we are only at the starting point you. No one doubts for a moment that the agitators will knuckle under because their firat scheme of operations has been foiled by the intervention and on the authority of the Viceroy. The leaders of the boycott are far too astute to have over looked the fact that the pro-foreign. Viceroy Chow Fu might possibly seek to frustrate their designs, and accordingly they may be assumed to have alternative plans in view now that the Viceroy's attitude towards the boycott has been made apparent.

After the first outburst of national feeling the movement began to languish, but another telegram from Oakland has infused new life into the supporters and it seems probable that the rehabilitated scheme will be pushed forward with increased energy and deter mination. Being under the displeasure, of Viceroy Chow Fu, the protagonists must adopt underground methods to attain their ends and it is easy to see how they can keep the flame of animosity alive without having resort to public meetings.
