CHINESE FUGITIVE ARRIVES.
Kang Yu Won Left His Country for
Political Reasons.

VANCOUVER, B. c., April 14.-Kang Yu
Wou, the fugitive Chinese statesman, has
arrived here from Victoria, accompanied by
a retinue of Chinese and japanese sympa-
thizers. From here Kang will proceed to
London, which place he expects to make
his home until at least part of the re-
forms advocated by himself have been
brought to pass in China. He said:
TT is only a matter of time before China
will have to put into operation these re-
forms, which 1 say she needs, or else in
ternal dissensions or possibly foreign ag-
gression will result in the dismemberment
of the empire"
The reforms which Kang is anxious TO
establish for his native country are:
Representative party government, sys-
TEN of national banks, state ownership CT
mines and railroads, free education, both
elementary and advanced, and including the
esta blishment of technical schools and gov
erument seminaries for military and naval
training. He also thinks that the silver
basis of the Chinese monetary system has
been the means of impoverishing the en-
pire to the advantage of countries that
trade their selling for gold and buying for
silver
