CHiNA'S FUTURE
Talked Of By a Chinoman Who Also
Speaks Of the Boycott.

Mar Ch-o, Chinese merchant at
Nacozari passed through the territory
the other day with two other China
men who came to the American con-
tinent for the first time. By an error
of the commissioner of immigration
they were sent to Naco instead of Ma
cozari where taken charge of by an
inspector. They had no papers and as
the office there had not been informed
of the new ruling the case was referr-
ed Chief Inspector George Webb, who
allowed them to proceed.
They are said to be the first China.
men without papers allowed such
privilege since the passage of the ex-
clusion act. While at Naco Mar Glue
said to a representative of the Inter
national American:
What China wants now is exactly
what America and Japan have-ad-
vancement along all lines. The old
systems will have to go. The action OF
Japan during the recent war with Rus
STA has opened our eyes. Heretofore
We wanted no railroads because they
would disturb the spirits of our ances-
tors. l am not a Christian and have no
patience with your religion, but 1 want
railroads all over China, and there are
millions there who want them. This
means that in the future no opposi-
ton to railroads or any other improve
ment which will be of benefit to the
country will be met with, save by the
government itself. For this reason u
vast secret organization has been
formed. and candidates for member
ship are fighting for acceptance. The
present Manchu dynasty has never
been popular with the people as a
whole. and now it is less so than ever
before. We consider the dynasty an
obstruction which we must get rid OF
before. We consider the dynasty All
obstruction which we must get rid of
before material advancement can be
made.
You will remember that some time
ago the empress issued an order
abolishing the use of the bow and ar
row in the army. This was done in
response to pressure exerted directly
upon the throne by representatives OF
the order and not until threats had
been made.
I'VE feel that China old as she is,
is but a babe in the world. What was
done for Japan by the United States
when she was forced to open her ports
to the world has been done for us
by Japan, showing us that Asiatics
may cope successfully with Europeans
in the field of war. China is a great
sloth which needs must be aroused b.
drastic measures, and the death of the
empress and her imbecile son will &C
cOmplish this purpose better than any
other thing"
Mar Chue is a prominent man in
Nacozari, where he has been in bust
ness for several years, and is a nat
ural philosopher. He speaks splendid
English, but has no education to speak
of, although like all Chinese merchants
he has made a success of his business.
SO we'll thought of in NacoZari is he
that his mere request for transporta-
ton, made by wire to j. S. Douglas.
representative there of the Phelps
Dodge interests, was sufficient to bring
passes for his entire party. He wears
American clothes and his party was
dressed like himself. The other English
speaking Chinaman wore no queue like
Mar Glue, but the newcomers had
splendid ones. Observing some admir-
of his friends by the immigration Off
GERS Mar grinned and said:
There it is-a pig tail-the end of
everything. Those boys will not be
in Nacozari twenty-four hours before
they lose their queues. Wait until
they go to sleep tonight"
Asked as to the boycott of Ameri-
can goods in China and its likelihood
of reaching a status greater than the
present one, he said:
"The boycott on American goods is
a friendly one. but it will be carried
out until you change your immigration
laws regarding Chinese. You do not
treat us fair, and we retaliate-that is
all We want your goods, we want
your ideas, but we will deprive our
selves OF these for a while to teach you
a lesson. Already the effect of the
boycott has been to allow our people
many privileges which we had not be-
fore. Before the boycott is ended you
will treat us as you treat immigrants
from other Countries
