The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1905-09-01


Gently notified Chinese mer-
- chants that they were liable to
punishment by death for boy
cotting American goods. But the guess
has been hazarded that neither the
governor of Newchwang nor any other
Chinese official intends to execute
many Chinese merchants for refusal to
handle goods manufactured or pro-
duced in the United States. Over TO-,
coo of the leading business men of
Hongkong, Shanghai, Canton and 9th
er Chinese cities are said to have
signed the boycott of America and all
things American. ANA the boycott reso-
luton carries with it a fine of $4,000
for not adhering TO the agreement.
Were the Chinese government to carry
out the threat of heheading all these
leading subjects of the king of heaven
it would have bloody task on its
hands, but of course nobody expects
1t to push to such an extreme its pro-
fessions of friendship for the United

reached a point where it is exciting
much concern among American ex-
porters. is Il matter for which the Ce
lestal government disclaims response
bility. The spokesman for the Chinese
sovereign says that the boycott is much
regretted by the government and that
it is all due to the guilds, over which
the authorities have no control.
These guilds of merchants and men,
bers of crafts are very powerful and
exist in all the large commercial CEN
tiers. A writer conversant with ORR
entail affairs tells of visiting one Of
the guildhalls of Canton as the guest
of an educated Chinese merchant. He
was astonished at the superb building
which formed the home of the guild
and at the courtesy and suavity of the
hospitality shown When these guilds
inaugurate Il boycott they can make it
very effective; The merchants are
watched by spies, and if a violation
of the agreement is reported and the
imposition of fine does not suffice
the highbinders are called in, and then
the merchant disregards the boycott
only at the risk of his life. This in

WASHINGTON, May 20.-It was asserted
at the Post Office Department to-day that
John H. Masten, who has had a more or
less stormy career in the postal service
during the past few years, would in all
probability be selected to fill the new Office
of Assistant Superintendent Of Foreign
Mails, a post established by Congress at
the last session. The foreign business
at New York has grown with such rapidity
in recent years that Second Assistant
Postmaster General Sha!enberger recon-
mended to Congress the creation 81 an
assistant superintendent in the metropolis
who would give his sole attention TO tie
handling and despatch of foreign mail.
Mr.. Masten is an assistant supe rintendent
in the hallway Mail Service. with head
quarters in Washington. He has been in
the service many years and ~ recognized
as an all round expert. During the posta!
scandal he was frequently mentioned as
among those who would have to walk the
plank but Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow exonerated him Of any
wrongdoing in the several transactions
with which his name was connected. Mr..
Masten was at one time stationed in the
Brooklyn post Office and was later chief
clerk Of the First Assistants bureau. being
succeeded by John j. Howley of Brooklyn,
who still holds the place.
