stitution is an old one in China. Many
years ago certain craftsman made
bold to set aside the rules laid down
by his guild when a boycott was in
progress. TO punish him, 123 members
of the guild, each one in turn, bit the
unfortunate man as they passed out of
the guildhall. To be certain that none
had failed in his duty, only such were
allowed to go home as gave evidence
by their bloody mouths of their par
ticipation in the punishment.
The policy of the Chinese govern
ment from time immemorial has been
to discourage natives from leaving the
country; therefore it does not take of
fense against exclusion of laborers or
coolies from the United States. But
there is nothing so offensive to a Chi
neSe gentleman as to be confounded
with a cody, and for this reason the
indlgnities to which the member of
the merchant and professional class
has often been subjected in coming
to this country have stirred up a feel.
ing at home which can scarcely be ap-
preciated in the United States. The
object of the agitation is to compel
better terms for the Chinese in the new
treaty between America and China.
The former Chinese minister to the
United States, WI Ting Fang. has
special charge of the negotiations as
to this treaty, and ii has been sus.
pected that he was influential in pro-
noting and directing the boycott OF
American goods
Mr. Wu has denied, however, that
the movement was countenanced in
any way by him. But he points out
that it is serious and powerful moveS
ment and must inevitably injure Amer
ican trade with China and the friend
ship hitherto existing between the two
nations unless new treaty, embody-
ing more favorable terms for China
than the old, shall soon be negotiated.
He suggests educational qualifications
for Chinese desiring admission to the
United States and the admission OF
coolies to Hawaii and the Philippines
without such restriction
The value of American exports to
China is about $G0.000,000 year. By
the terms Of the boycott resolution
Chinese merchants bind themselves not
to buy or use American goods. to ship
in American ships or permit their chill
dren to attend American schools.
