Orders Consul Removed at Once

Oyster, Bay N. Y. Sept. 17.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt to-day directed that
Robert NJ. MacWade, Consul at
Canton, China, be dismissed from the
diplomatic service.
The Presidents action was the re.
suit OF recommendations made by
Assistant Secretary Of State Peiree,
who has just returned from a tour of
inspection OF all consulates in the
Orient. He made a special report In
the case OF Mac Wale because OF SER
ious charges that had been brought
against him.
MacWade was accused OF many acts
unbecoming man In his office, and
especially with using his position for
extortion and with Issuing false and
fraudulent certificates to Chinese EN-
igrants who left China to come to
America in violation OF the Chinese
exclusion laws.
Another scandal was reported in
the American Consulate at Shanghai
about the same time these charges
we're made against MacWade, and
President Roosevelt ordered Secre.
tary Hay to send one OF his assist
ants to inspect all American Consul
q ties in the far East, with n partlcu-
lar nilsson to investigate the charges
against Mac Wade at Canton.
Mr.. PIERCE was consequently sent to
China and other cou tries Of the Orient
His report was unlavorable to Mac
Wade, and President Roosevelt to.
day dismissed the Consul from the
service. Secretary Hay was instruct
ed to commission some one to relieve
MacWa de at once, as the dismissal
goes into effect Immediately.
Robert NJ. MacWade was appoint
ed Consul to Canton, China, by Pres
ident Roosevelt in 1902. He comes
from Pennsylvania and had very
good references. A strong array Of
political friends, including some Of
the Quay faction, worked for him
and obtained the place.
