Cuts Off Thirty Queues.

Il was little dubious. however, when
some one suggested that l take some
shears and cut off his queue for him. I
obliged him and about thirty others be-
fore the thing stopped.
Mr.. ChaiO said that private dispatches
had been received at the legation recently
telling of a more or less secret meeting
of members of the new assembly. and at
which the question of doing away with
the queues had been brought up. AS the
result of a vote the success of a bill
looking to that end was assured. 1t Is
considered certain the throne will in
dOrSe such action.
Besides being opposed to the wearing
of queues Mr.. Chiao is strong advocate of
western costumes for the Chinese In this
and European countries He does not,
however. favor an attempt to change the
dress in his own country at present.
Il believe the western dress is right Tor
those Of our countrymen who are abroad,
but It Is not practicable as a general
thing for China at this time Perhaps in
the future it can be gradually brought
about.
For those Chinese who are now in
the western countries. 7 believe the same
argument applies does to the question
of the queues, though not SO broadly.
The Chinese away from his home should
not be distinctive in dress from the peo-
pie among whom he is living.
Dress Reform Difficult.
IF any general edict changing the dress
should be put into effect in our country,
however, it would work great hardship
not only to our industries, but also to the
people individually. We would have no
facilities for supplying the rapid increase
in demand for certain cloths, and those
few We manufacture or which areas is
the general rule-manufactured in the
home of the WeaTpr would not answer
the purpose.
Such an edict would mean supplying
new sets of clothes for 100000, 600 people,
to say nothing Of the necessary tailors.
In the future. perhaps, not now, it may
be good thing.
Step Toward determination.
THE doing away with the queues is
considered but another step in moderniza-
ton Of China, which is taking great
strides in copying as much rs advisable
the ways of the occident The wearing of
the queue was not originally Chinese
custom. 1t came into use about 200 years
ago. with the conquest Of the Manchu
dynasty, when it was ordered to be worn
by all who protested submission to the
conquerers of the Manchu house.
Though there is small doubt that such
an order would be welcomed by the
Chinese in diplomatic and court circles,
their humber brothers of the tub and iron
in this country will not receive the edict
so favorably nor comply so readily. Sew
eral proprietors of Chinese laundries so
indicated this morning.
Resent Sudden Changes.
Besides they are inclined to resent
these sudden and frequent changes in the
