Chinese boycott Bf American goods in Canton and other Treaty Ports of China. When the boycolt was previously enforced, the Chinese merchants of Singapors supported it, although not in their entirety as a community, and it re ceived some measure of support in the Dutch Colonies. It appears that an attempt is being made to bring about a renewal of the boycott in Singapore.

Several causes contributed to arouse the

hostility of the Chinese to the United States and all things American, but the chief causes of complaint are the Chinese Exclusion Acts and the treatment to which Chinese landing at the western parts are subjected in the United States. The commencement of the boycott was marked by a dramatic incident which showed how intensely the Chinese felt in regard to the American laws. A student, by name Hang Ha Wei, was so annoyed at the way he was treated in San Francisco that he returned to Shanghai, inade a demonstration with a revolver in the office of the American Consul-General, and after-protesting on behalf of his compatriots that they were as good as the Americans, he ruded the scene and his own life by swallowing a dose of poison. This was the match that set the powder ablaze.

The boycot his waxed and waned, and it was believed it has almost collapsed when news came to hand of an indignation meeting in Canton and the passing of resolutions to contique the policy of refusing to deal with American firms or to purchase American goods of any description.

THE CIRCULAR.

The following document, headed "Surprise - Circular," and dated January 17, is being scat- tered-broadcast-throughout-Singapore-and we believe, the other Seulement and Malay States:-

This is a circular to inform the Chinese in Singapore that the Chinese have been treated very badly by the American people. In fact, they have been treated like beasts and kept confi ed like prisoners. Are the Chinese to remalo quies and submit to those indignities? The American Government does not care whether you are mandarins, officials or scholars, or men of bigh position.. 'Sa long as you are Chinese you are to be treated like beasts. No other nation treats. the Chinese ne do the

Americans.

"About six months ago, the Chinese in “Šingenre alhalked very much of the boycott of American goods, and were strongly in favour of it; but it looks as if you were cooling down, as if you were becoming luke warm, and back ing out of the rangement.

CALL TO ARMS.

"I now call upon the Chinese of Singapore to stand by the boycott and give it their united support, so that the American Government shall be forced to hold a meeting soon about the Exclusion Acta.

present the prizes. As you have just seen, his Excellency has again honoured us with the gift of a very handsome prize, this time a work basket, which has been awarded to the pupil who mast distinguished herself in needlework. Hoth she and her fellow-puplis are deeply touched by this further proof of his Excellency's kind rememinance of the school, and we all additionally regret that His Excellency could not be here to present his gift in person. We alas desire to tender our hearty thanks to the various gentlemen who so kindly furnished the funds for the remaining prizes, and whose namex are too numerous to mention here. Scholarships, which take the form of one year's free education, have this year been awarded to Lily Fok, Lo Lai Wah, Fung Fün Lin, Kwan Yuu Yau, and Chau So. In conclusion I haveonly to thank the various members of the stall, who have so harmoniously and conscientiously ca operated with me during the past eight months. Holidays for Chinese New Year will be from now till Monday, 4th March. (Applause).

Mrs. Irving then proceeded to present the prizes, after which she addressed the assembly in a few words, which was quite inaudible at the far end of the room... As far as she could be heard, she said that it had given her great pleasure to present the prizes, Everyone present, she was sure, enjoyed the programme put before them, especially the recitation, "The Washerwoman and the Chicken," by a Chinesa git), which was really fascinating. The school was very satisfactory and she congratulated the girls in the hygiene leam. (Applause).
