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, 1913 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

to discourage natives from leaving the
country; therefore it does not take Of.

there is nothing so offensive to a Chi

has often been subjected in coming

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 it has been sus.
pected that he was influential in pro.
noting and directing the boycott OF
American goods.
Mr. WI has denied, however. that
the movement was countenanced in
any way by him. But he points out

He suggests educational qualifications
for Chinese desiring admission to the
United States and the admission Of

The value Of American exports to
China is about $60.0OO,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

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-
600 of the leading business men of
Hong,long. Shanghai. Canton and 9th
err Chinese cities are said to have
signed the boycott of America and all
things American. ana the boycott reso-
luton carries with it fine of $4,000
for not adhering TO the agreement.
Were the Chinese government to carry
out the threat of beheading 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
States. The boycott. which has now
reached a point where ii is exciting
much concern among American ex-
porters. is Il matter for which the Ce-
lestial 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 boycott they can make it
very effective; The merchants are
watched by spies, and if 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
