There is great deal of misappre-
hension among Western people," said
the Chinese Minister, regarding the
queue. Stories have circulated for
years that the loss Of his queue meant
ostracism to a Chinese in his own coun-
try and eternal perdition hereafter.
That is not true. There is nothing in
the religious or moral requirements OF
the Government affecting the habit of
queue wearing. 1t is entirely a matter
Of individual custom and preference.
The Chinese wear queues because of
continuous habit. Many Chinese, even
in China, have cut off their queues
without exciting remark.
In Mexico the Chinese, as a rule.
are discarding their Oriental habits and
costumes and are intermarrying with
Mexicans. They cut off their queues.

becoming a present factor In the de-

took occasion to-day to dispel the gen.

The question came up in connection
with the recent organization in Wash

chapters of the Bow Wong Foy Society,
which has Tor its object the reforma-
ton Of China. Many Chinese who
joined the society have been cutting off
their queues, and the action has caused

PRESIDENT NEVER SAID 1T
Congressman Probably Made Ante -Elec-

Postmaster General Wynne denied in
emphatic terms this morning a rumor
which has received circulation recently
concerning the attitude of President
Roosevelt with regard to postmasters
and other Federal officehoiders who
have been in the Government service
for eight years.
The report referred to had il that
President Roosevelt thought eight years
long enough for a man to make his IIv-
ing out OF the Government. and that as
their commissions expired he would re-
move postmasters appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley during his first term.
There is no truth whatever In that
report" said Mr.. Wynne. You NAV
state that nothing OF the sort has been
considered. Merit only viii count with
the President in his appointment Of
pOstmasters. 3d..
NO good man need fear to lose his
position because he has been p postmas-
ter eight years. II he Is a good man he
will be reappointed when his term ex-
pires. whether he was appoin I'd four or
eight years ago"
