I'm DEFENSE OF LEUNG
REFORMERS DENY STATEMENTS
OF CHwANG.
Reply to the Remarks of the Secre-
tary From the Chinese Legation at
Washington.

The charges made by Chinese Consul
lar Secretary Chwang Hal Kwan
against Leung Chi-tso have aroused the
latter's friends, and one of them has
come forward in defense of the reform
err, Aa Chwang plainly announced that
the faeellies OF the reformers were All
liable to- be thrown into jail in China,
the defender of Leung is naturally not
anxious to have his name published. A
controversy with the Chinese govern
ment is serious matter. The letter
is as follows: '' ID
Editor Star Permit me to use lit
tie space in your paper to make a few
statements regarding the interview
with Chwang Hal Kwan, published in
your paper last evening, in which he
spoke of Leung Chi-tso and the Bow
Wongs. What penalties are inflicted
upon the relatives of the Bow Wongs
in China? What charge could be placed
against them for joining such a move
ment? True, they might be arrested,
but remember there are five million
Bow Wongs in the union. All the jaiIs
| of China are not big enough to hold
| their relatives. The Bow Wong Asso-
citation was organized year ago in
Canada, and now extends throughout
| the world.
1 feel very acutely the insinuatlon
that Leung Chi-tso was guilty of mis-
conduct when in China. 1t is we'll
known that Mr.. Leung was political
! leader in 1898 in Peking, before the EN-
press Dowager took hold of the reins
of government and, very luckily under
the protection of the Marquis Ito he
went to Japan and naturalized himself
as a subject of the Mikado. He is a
man of intelligence, high standing and
| wealth.
/ OF course, we think 1t our duty to
protect our legitimate and intelligent
emperor from assassination. Although
it is known that the Emperor has reign.
ed 26 years, he has held power only
three months from May to August
1898, and we want him on the throne
| again. A REFORMER.

MORE GAUC|ANS ARRIVE
BROUGHT BY JOE LUCCA FROM
TYROL.
At San Francisco the Laborers Bucked
and Some Deserted-Sent to Maui
Plantations to Work.

Twenty-Five Austrians who arrived
by the Doric for Maui plantations aD-
pear to have created more or less Of
sensation in San Francisco. There
some of them refused to continue the
trip and, it is alleged, We're forcibly put
aboard the steamer and brought to the
Islands.
A matter of local interest in connec-
ton with the affair is that Joe Lucca,
or Lucas, brother of Mr.. Lucas, the Oc-
ulist enlisted these people in Austria
and brought them out. Lucca is a hack
man and a linguist, speaking seven
languages besides his mother tongue.
He left nearly a year ago ostensibly
for trip TO sunny Italy and was not
heard of again until he turned up here
Monday evening with the laborers.
1t appears that Lucca enlisted his
men in Tyrol and brought them without
trouble to San Francisco. There they
were on the streets several days and
met several of their countrymen who
advised them against accepting con-
tract service in Hawaii. The San Fran
ciscans told their countrymen of the
Galicians last year. or reports as they
had them The result was that eleven
of the immigrants refused to continue
the journey.
| Lucca, who had made arrangements
| for their transportation, tried to get
them back. In this he was assisted by
.the immigration bureau of San Fran
cisco, which did not want the pauper
labor to stop here. 1t appeared, too,
that they were passing through the
| United States in bond. which is legal.
Lucca enlisted his laborers in the lit
lie town of Pova in Tyrol. They were
promised $15 a month for the first year,
SIS fer the second and $50 for the third.
All were apparently satisfied until they
| reached San Francisco.
The laborers left late Yesterday for
! Kahulul. They were accompanied by
Lucca who will act as interpreter and
will see them comfortably installed in
! their work.

CROWDS AT THE T
EXCURsIONISTS THRONG THE WATT
ING ROOMS AND SHEDS.
q. A. Ia. Trains En- Route to Chicago
Plans of the indianapolis Union
Railway Company.

Seldom in the history of the Union station
rooms and sheds as there was yesterday
at noon. The numerous excursions running
into indianapolis and the specials out of the
city caused the congestion, and 1T was not
until late i'm the afternoon that there was
comfortable room in the station The
travel through Indianapolis to Chicago has
been exceedingly large Railroad men say
they never experienced such a large bust
ness, and it seemed the great desire of per-
sons desiring to attend the G.. A. r. en-
campment to arrive In Chicago as early as
possible. They all wanted to take advan-
tage Of the cheap excursion rates on the
first trains. The regular excursion into the
city and to other cities helped to swell the
crowds to enormous proportions. as the ex-
cursions into Indianapolis arrived at the
Union station about the time OF the de-
parture of the special trains for Chicago.
The excursions brought many knights of
Pythias, who went to Detroit last evening
on the Lake Erie special. Most of them
were uniformed. and they mingled with the
old soldiers, Sons of Veterans and men,
bers of various bands en- route to Chicago.
The various uniforms presented a spectacu-
lar appearance about the station and scores
of young women were or hand to admire
the brass buttons and gold braid.
The regular trains early In the morning
to Chicago were well filled with excursion
lists. The c., H. & D. brought a special
through from Cincinnati for Chicago at
Has and 1t was filled. Two other specials
left Indianapolis between II and l o'clock
and another one at 2:05. The Big Four sent
out a special at 10 o'clock that was also
crowded. Railroad men say Chicago is al
ready we'll filled with excursionists and
each train running into the city is crowded
The largest crowd that ever attended a G..
A. r. national encampment, not excepting
the immense throng gathered in Philadel-
phia last fall, is expected TO be in Chicago
this week. The l.. E. & w. sent a special
to Chicago yesterday morning that was as
we'll patroniZed as the other roads.
The c., H. & D.. ran a special to Cincin-
natl yesterday that carried the usual
crowd of Sunday excursionists to hat city.
There were six excursions to Indianapolis.
The L.. E.. & w. ran excursions from Pc
oria, Ill, Sandusky, o.. Michigan City and
Fort Wayne. Altogether that road brought
about 1000 people to the city. The Big Four
brought a special from Cincinnati, and the
l., d. & w. a special from Decatur, Ill.
The parks were not visited to such an ex-
tent as on previous Sundays, as the threat
ening weather kept the people down town.
They walke around the city, admiring the
monument and other places, and early in
the evening swarmed again at the Union
station to wait for their return trains. The
railroad people expect the Chicago bust
ness to be very heavy the first part Of this
