CHINESE BOYCOTT
WILL IT LAST? (BY TELEOBAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Chrlstohuroh, May 21. Messrs. Orange and Wood, two gentlemen >vho are passing through tho Dominion on their way from. China to England, are at present in this city, and intend leaving shortly for the, North. Seen by a "Press" representative, and asked regarding tho boycott of Japanese goods by the Chinese, they expressed tho opinion that the boycott would not prove to be nearly so extensive or so prolonged as tho boycott of some two years ago with rospect to American goods. When, they left' China the movement against Japanese goods had just commenced, and was confined to Southern China. They were of opinion that it would not bo allowed to spread over all the Chinese Empire, and that the Imperial Government would exort-itself to terminate the boycott. As to tho probability of war between the two countries resulting, they thought it was extremely remote, principally becauso tho -grounds for an appeal to arms arc so comparatively slight. . '
