OFFICIAL SANCTION
Was Given Boycott BY the Chinese
Foreign Office.

Washington May 23.-Secretary Met
calf. complying with Il resolution of the
House, has sent to that body q long re-
pOlt FROM Commissioner General Sar-
gent of the immigration bureau giving
The history OF the enforcement of the
Chinese exclusion law. The last chap
ter Of the report deals with the Chi
nese boycott Of American goods and re-
produces official proclamations of Chi
nese officials, which, despite assertions
to the contrary, show that the Chinese
government is at least not discouraging
the boycott.
IN July Of last year an official procia-
nation was made by the Chinese consul
general at san Francisco to Chinese in
this country. The proclamation was ca
bled from the Chinese foreign office
The official translation of it contains
this language:
1.-The Chinese exclusion act of the
United States is what Chinese mer-
chants of all ports desire to retaliate
against by means of a commercial boy
colt on American goods.
The said boycott this department,
(the Chinese foreign office) has never
at any time prohibited or obstructed.'
The report states that at the time
| tbs proclamation was issued newspaper
reports had come from Minister Rock
| hill in China that the Chinese govern
ment 10 vigorously opposing the threat
ened boycott of American goods
| Another proclamation is quoted in the
report that of Sir Chuntung l.iang
| Cheng, Chinese minister to the United
States. also issued in the Chinese Ian
iCuage discrimina ted against in any way
| to file their claims with him for presen-
itation to the state department of this
country The minister took the ground
| that since the abrogation of the eNciu-
sion treaty, Dec. s, 1904, the United
| states had no right. according to the
law of nations, to exclude Chinese cltl-
Zens by local laws.
Setting out the conflicting duties of
the consular officer in encouraging
commercial relations and ScrutiniZlng
prospective immigrants, the report
adds
| whether from the above cause or
from dishonesty on the part Of the
consular officers, or both, this fact is
that hundreds of certificates have beer
issued by Chinese officials and vised by
American consular officers. for Chin
ese persons so palpably coolies that it is
difficult to conceive that anyone ever
glancing at them casually should have
taken them for members of any Other
class"

AWARD OF $137,833
Against D., L. G. w. and Sharp Crit
cism of Pres. Truesdale.

New York, May 23-Sharp criticism Of
w. II. T-uesdale. president of the Della
ware Lackawanna & Western. for break
ing contract to carry milk on that road
was contained in a decision of the United
States circuit court of appeals which was
handed down today. Damages amounts
ing to s137, S23 was awarded to Robert r.
Wastcott, an executor of the estate OF
John Paul, who had contract under
which he bought great quantities or milk
from farmers and shipped it over the
Lackawanna.
Judge Wallace in his decision said that
President Truesdales reputation OF the
contract was inspired by sordid motives
and committed with an arrogance born
of a scorn of the consequences, that the
appropriation of Westcott's percentages
of the money which the defendant had
collected for him was morally no bet
ter than larceny

many ways just now, the traders re-
port excellent business for this time Of

joying prosperity. The country roads,
which all the spring have been exceed
ingly muddy, are at last fairly dry, and
though they are still very rough in
manv places, travelling is not bad
enough in the rural sections to prevent
people coming to the city on shopping
