HANGHAI, Oct. 25, 1900. (Special
Correspondence of The Bee)
Undo Sam's representatives In
China havo their hands full.
war has Increased their business
a hundredfold. It has multiplied their
responsibilities. The consulates aro every
where overrun with Americans. Claims for
damages of all kinds aro coming In, and
persecuted missionaries aro thicker than
blackberries In August. Nearly every one
has a valid ground for his claim, and the
total damages will form a big bill for China
to settle.
Tho busiest post of all Is hero at Shang
hai. This Is tho center of foreign Interests
In China, and it Is the center or mission
Interests as well. Slnco the war began tho
Americans from tho whole Yangtse valley
and from tho country north and south of It
havo rushed In, and thcro Is still a steady
stream going In and out of tho American
consul general's office. Tho consul general
has had charge of tho American diplomatic
Interests during tho greater part of this
year. Minister Conger has been penned up
In tho legation at Pokln, tho telegraphic
lines In tho hands of tho Chinese have
transmitted Httlo elso than lies, and tho
real news of tho State department has been
supplied from Shanghai.
It Is -a fortunate thing for us that our
consul general haB risen to tho demands of
his position., Ho has proved himself ono of
the nbVesof'tho men who are hero repre
sentfng'forelgri nations, nnd ho has kept the
Un'ltedJstatc's nt tho front. Flvo years ago
ho- was comparatively unknown except In
tho northwest. Today ho Is an Interna
tional character. Tho great powers of Eu
rope foallzo his ability and hlB praises are
sounded In half tho nowspapers of tho
United States. You havo read of him and
know that hla namo Is John Gopdnow, that
he comes from Minneapolis, and was ap
pointed by Mr. McKlnloy at tho first of his
term. ' You may have heard that he Is 42
years of age and that ho waB a business
man, with a political bent, boforo ho en
tered the consular service. These ore mat
ters of record, but thoy give you little Idea
of' tho man. You have to live with John
Goodnow to know him. I havo spent weeks
with him, and I llko him., Just.beforo tho
war I took a ten days' trip with him
through tho canals n couple of hundred
miles back of Shanghai In a houso boat, and
I can tell you ho wears. Let mo mako his
pqn picture. .
John doodnow Is a combination of a dip
lomat, a business man and a political
striker. Ho would not bo out of place as
minister to Pekln, ho Would fit well Into
any crowd of Now York bankers and brok
ers and ho enn hold his. own among the
politicians of a national convention. .He is
a blondo, about bIx feet tall, rather slender,
but wiry and full of grit.
WtiNtilntcton AKitliiNt McKlnley.
One thing I like about John Goodnow Is
his sturdy Americanism. Ho has not an
English halr'in his hend, not a foreign bono
In his body. He believes In the living pres
ent and that the United States Is a part of
It. His American eagle has wings which
coyer the world and he thinks that Presi
dent McKinlcy Is directing Its flight. Ho
honors George Washington, I know, but
when ha came hero an Incident occurred
which shqwqd that ho honors William Mc
Ktnjcy more Thoro was at the tlmo an old
engraving of Washington hanging near the
desk over the mantel In the consul general';
office. Goodnow brought with him a fine
steel engraving of McKlnley and when be
moved In ho shoved Washington to tho back
wall of tho room and put McKlnloy in hl3
place. This caused a great outcry among
tho old American residents. They said tho
act was sacrilegious and called upon the
new consul general to remonstrate. Mr.
Goodnow listened patiently and when they
concluded by asking him to pull down
William and reinstate old Georgo ho re
plied: "I prefer William McKlnley to havo tho
placo of honor In this consulate. Ho Is as
ablo as any president wo have had and I
owo to Mm my presence here. As to
Georgo Washington, I am glad to have his
faco still look down from my walls. You
may think his present place a secondary
one, but, gentlemen, this Is s live consulate.
President McKlnloy Is very much nllvo, and,
If I romcmber correctly, President Wash
ington has been dead some years."
I'renlilcnt'N Ailvlrc an to MInhIoiih.
Much of Consul General Goodnow's busi
ness Is with the missionaries. Tho United
States docs moro mission work In China
than any other nation, and Shanghai Is tho
center of tho American movement. Goodnow
Is a friend of tho missionaries and he
pushes their Interests. Ho recently got a
big block of land for ono of tho stations
from the Chinese officials, and ho has done
much to encourago tho missionary hospitals,
which ho thinks aro accomplishing great
good. When ho leaves Shanghai ho often
places Rov. Dr. John R. Hykcs, tho head
of tho American Bible society, In charge
of tho consulate, and ho makes It his busi
ness to watch the Interests of American
missions as well as American trade.
His action In this respect was probably
stimulated by a remark which President
McKlnley mado when Goodnow visited him
at tho Whlto Houso Just before ho left for
China. As tho president bado him go-d-byo
he shook his hand and said:
"Now, John, thoro Is ono thing I want
you to especially remember. This Is that
you are going out to China ,ns the rep
resentative of tho American people, not
simply as the representative of American
trade. I want you to push our trndo In
terests In every possible way, but I wnnt
you also to 'keep your eyo on the missions
and do what you can for them, for, remem
ber, that for every man who Is interested
to tho extent of a dollar In trade thcro aro
a thousand who arc dropping their nickels
Into tho missionary plote."
(lueer Coiimilnr ISxiivrlt'iio-N.
John Goodnow Is full of stories of his
queer consular experiences. His position is
a curious one. He Is tho judgo of the mixed
court of Shanghai, and as such has Jurisdic
tion of all Americans In his consular dis
trict. As to somo cases ho Is practically
tho supreme Judge for tho wholo of China.
He has to deal with tho Chinese officials
and he Is ono of tho executives who rulo
tho foreigners of Shanghai. As to tho
Americans, they use him for everything.
Stranded sailors come to him for money
to get home, and American women and men
bring their troubles to him. Not long ago
a very pretty young woman, who frequently
grows desperato over her quarrels with
her husband, called at tho consulate. Sho
camo Into Goodnow's office, which, by tho
way, Is a very handsome ono. It Iiob tho
most beautiful desk I have ever seen, and
tho carpet Is n velvet rug. Goodnow wits
sitting at his desk when tho woman came
In. Ho looked as ho always docs, Just as
cool as tho center seed of a well-Iced
cucumber, whllo she spluttered llko a dough
nut when first dropped into tho boiling
grease of the Bklllet. She almost screamed:
"Mr. Goodnow, I nm going to kill myself!
I nm going to kill myself right hero!"
"What!" eatd tho consul general. "I
don't think you mean It! 1 don't think you
would bo bo Impolito ns to kill yourself
hero nnd spoil my now carpet."
This mado the womnn more angry than
ovor, but her anger wns turned from hor
husband to the consul general. The cur
rent of her mind was chnnged by tho ro-
mark, and Goodnow soon got her to tell
him her troubles. Ho persuaded hor to
gtvo up all Idea of sulcldo and to go back
to her husband ns though nothing had
happened. Sho did bo, and a fow days
later Goodnow saw tho two walking along
tho Shanghai Bund nrm-ln-arm cooing and
chortling llko turtlo doves In tho spring.
Ono of tho queer features of tho consulate
Is tho Jail. Tills Is necessary, for tho con
sul goneral has to punish tho criminals of
his own nationality. Tho Jail Is In tho con
sulate, and tho Drlsonors nre fed by tho
consul goneral at a cost of CO cents each
per day. Tho fact that thoy always como
out fat is an ovldcnco that tho allowance Is
plenty, and tho consul general's cook, I
suppose, makes a profit off tho feeding.
Ono of tho curious characters In tho Jail
at presont Is a murderer. Ho Is a very de
cent fellow, who killed a Chlncso half In
solf-defenso, but In such a way that ho was
sentenced to Imprisonment for life. I
think Consul Gcnoral Goodnow Imposed tho
sentence Tho man Is very kindly treated
Ho spends much of his tlmo In tho consul
general's office, somo In taking strolls
about Shanghai, and another part In his
coll, where ho goes to sleep. Ho Is really
a bright follow, and ho Is glad to do such
work aa ho can. First I thought that It I
woro ho I would run away, but upon second
rofloctlon concluded that I should bo surely
arrested if I sailed to any other port upon
telegraphic notlco from hero, and that If I
took my chances among tho Chlncso
should bo clthor killed or starved.
