A long list of fashionable patronesses lent their names and efforts | to the affair, with the result that several thousand dollars was contributed to the fund. The ball was arranged by Mrs. W. H. Anderson, who will have the candy booth at the coming fair, and Miss Emily Aguirre, who will manage the floral booth at the same event. The former lady was | assisted by Miss’ Ray Gagliardo.

BOYCETT HIS " PAFIC COST Affects the Flour Industry|Military Appropriation Bill More Than Any Other Part of the Nation's Commerce FACTS DENBY GIVES Believes More Freedom in Admitting Upper Classes Would Help the Situation WASHINGTON, April 17.—The Senate committee on immigration listened to Charles Denby on the Chinese boycott of American goods today. Denby, who was in China for twenty years attached to the American legation or holding offices under the Chinese Government, said the movement became apparent in 1904, that it had been organized by some intelligent Chinese who had visited America, possibly former Minister Wu. He had no direct in- formation implicating Wu, however. ‘While the boycott is now apparently dead, it might easily be stirred to life and fury, sald Denby. The English and German commercial in- stitutions at first were inclined to exult at the movement against American goods, said Denby, but when they saw the move- ment spreading to an anti-foreign boycott they changed their tone. “What were the reasons for the early demise of the movement?" asked Senator Latimer. “Movements of this character are diffi- cult to sustain,” said Denby. “The Boxer movement died out after a few months and the reasons for the ineffectiveness of such movements is that the Chipese can- | not be prevented from attempting te make money."” In spite of the effectiveness of the boy- cott American trade, according to Den- | by, had improved. The greatest falling off in exports was shown in the flour trade which goes to Hongkong, English trade territory. Denby did not hold the view that English influence had anything to do with the situation. Senator Heyburn showed that in hifting the flour industry the blow had been struck at the section of the conntry—the Pacific Coast—most interested in exclud- ing the Chinese. Asked concerning modifications in the exclugion laws which would be likely to | allay the anti-American feeling, Denby said that the Chinese Government takes little interest in its coolie class, and the concessions must be to the privileged classes. Continuing, he said that the admission of the Chinese laborers would do little good and would be too dear a price to pay for any increase in'trade that might come to the United States. The Ame:ican la- borer cannot compete with the Chinese coolie. Greater freedom in the admission of the Chinese student and merchant classes would have a more salutary effect than anything this Government could do, sald Denby. WASHINGTON, April 17.—R. G. Proctor, clerk of the committee on Philippines, of Which - Senator Lodge is chairman, has re- signed.

PETERSBURG, April 17.—The suec- cessful negotiation of a foreign loan of $450,000,000, ruincus as are the rates which Russia is obliged to pay for the money, extricates the Government from much of its embarrassment and enables it to clear the decks of the accumulation:of debts and provide the cash necessary to keep the treasury above water at least for two years, irrespective of the attitude of the Nationai Parliament.
