BOYCOTT ABOUT ENDED. Ilongkoug.

Sept. 5. The Taft party arrived ut Hongkong this morning, and proceeded to the American consulate, where the members were met by a battalion of viceroy guards. At a reception later they were the guests of the officials of the New Canton railway. They were entertained at luncheon by invitation of the viceroy, who was ill and unable to be present.

His representative made a speech, referring to the friendly relations between America and China. Secretary Taft responded in the same vein. He said the United States did not want one foot or acre of the soil of China. The secretary said the boycott of American goods was an unreasonable violation of treaty rights and that he was glad, the viceroy had ordered the boycott stopped. The party's trip to Canton had an immense effect, and it is believed that in two weeks the boycott will end.

There- is no evidence of ill feeling on the part of the Chiense. The party was further entertained by British officers.

Moore, of Colorado, who for ten years nas been a clerk in the postoffice de. partment, has been dismissed on a charge of taking and attempting to redeem railroad tickets which found their way into the dead letter office. Moore was in charge of a minor-branch of the dead letter office. His salary was $1,400 a year. Many letters containing railroad tickets come to the dead, letter office, as-well as letters containing sums of money.

These are placed on file and kept for a certain length of time. If the addressees of such letters are not found, the money is turned into the treasury upon the lapse of the time limit, and railroad tickets and passes are destroyed. The postoffice inspectors found that tickets were missing from envelopes which were recorded as containing them, and a watch was set on the minor branch of the dead letter office, where such letters are kept. The removal of the. tickets was, it is alleged, finally traced to Moore.

It is also claimed that he had attempted to redeem tickets at local offices and elsewhere. On Thursday, alter the inspectors hadi examined all the books in Moore's room and had collected all the other evidence, they summoned him to ap pear before them. When confronted wjth the evidence in the possession of the inspectors, Moore, it. is alleged, confessed, arguing in defense that the railroads had received payment for the tickets, and that there was no, chance that he addressees of the letters containing the tickets could ever be found, and that, as the tickets could do no good to any one lying there in the dead, letter office, he thought he might as well reap the benefit of them. Th case was then laid before First Assistant Postmaster General Hitccock.

who is acting postmaster general in the absence of Mr. Cortelyou. When he had macte a careful exam nation of me case, Mr. Hitchcock ordered the removal of Moore. MAY LOSE SUGAR uANE CROP.

Poe, a salesman who arrived from the south yesterday and is at the Planters'. "The cane crop is the heaviest the people of the south have had in years," said Mr. Poe, "but there are no men to cut it. It has been the custom for years to employ a large immiior Ttalians to do the work. This year, however, this will be im possible.

All who can Dave neu, aim none will come in. The time between the ripening of the cane and the lrost is short, but the work must be done in that, period. Frost ruins cane. "The loss of the cane crop win mean practically the loss of livelihood for many persons. The people have lost, business is dad.

I have haflietters from all the hotels in the towns I make, and they say there is no business wba'ever." Mr. Poe had a difficult time getting out of the rural districts of Louisiana. He was forced to drive fifty mile- in order to catch a train, and en route he saw an Italian stricken on the roan side by the plague.
