From a Chinaman's Point Of

~ Perfection.

Writing Of "1'hc Revolution In China
and MS Causes in the September Cen
fury, Il. Van Bergen gives considerable
information as to the DoNcrs
Any intelligent man who has lived at
Picking for six months knows of these
so called Boxers and has, knowingly or
not, employed one or more Of them. BY
the term "intellgent' Is meant Il man
who does not suppose that every hui
man being must necessarily under
stand his own language, but admits the
fact that there are other tongues and
also that when he travels or resides in
foreign countries it becomes him to ia
miliarlze himself with such foreign
languages. .~.
Every resident of Picking employs a
Waterman or doorkeepcr, and that per
son is in every instance a member of
the Tu-chuan Literally, Big Fist), or,
as it is now called Boxer" society.
PROPERLY considered, it is not Il secret
society, but bears a great resemblance
to our labor unions. Its purpose Is
mainly overwhelmingly to provide
for old or disabled members.
The society of the Boxers is made up
Of men whose physical and muscular
strength has been trained purposely
and from early youth, not that they
may enter the athletic arena, but that
they may engage in perfectly lawful
and recognized career. They are en-
gagged as wntchmen by wealthy resi-
dents and as guards by travellers carry
Ing a %rge amount of money or to con-
vcy specie for great distances. Such a
guard or Waterman inSures perfect
safety. for it places the property or per-
son under the protection of the Ia
chuan union, and thieves or malcfac-
tors dread arousing its vengeance. Not
a single instance is on record where a
member Of the Ta-chuan was fathless
to his trust.
The government recognized the union
and frequently employed it to convoy
treasure. The father of Prince Tuan
snd grandfather If the heir apparent is
and has been for years the official pa
tron of the union. 1t is evident from
this explanation THAT Il member Of the
-chuan corresponds somewhat to tue
modern calling Of private detective IN
our social arrangements. his is ll;r-
ther confirmed. since IN either case
men may lie hired for specific purposes
and not always in strict conformity to
law. The history Of HE United States
contains instances whore corporations
in fear Of leprcdalions by striking
workmcn have engaged a body of pri-
waite detectives to rcpcl any attack up
Oh their plants. y man in possession
of we'll filed purse could at Picking
engage any number of Ta-chuan mem
bcrs for purposes which would not bear
publicity.

INDEPENDENTS
Trio Of Native Leaders
Hold Meetings.
Bob" Wilcox, J. K. KauIia ard
KalauokaIani Speak Along
Railroad Line.

PEARL CITY, June 19.-Three native
politicians who represent the Native
Independent Party of Hawaii addressed
mass meeting here at 10 a. m. The
trio were Robert Wilcox, j. X. Kaulla
and kalauokalani, and they plan for a
trip of several days covering most OF
Oahu. Their idea is to bring all the
natives into the fold of their party and
To urge them to continue at once
against the other parties.
The meeting was called to order here
by Northumberland who said that the OBJ
Jects of their coming we're the same as
stated in the mass meeting at the drill
lshed some days ago. When Kalauoka-
llani began there were few under one
hundred and fifty men, women ana
children present, and they listened at
tentively. He was brief and Robert
Wilcox succeeded him on the platform
which was erected in the open air near
the railway station.
Wilcox made practically the same re-
port of his journey to Washington and
his accomplishments there as he did in
Honolulu at the native convention and
in the drill shed meeting.

tive party and said that the purposes
OF the party were for the good of all.
kaulia who at tie drill shed had ex-
claimed XIII the snake!'-meaning
the haole party-talked in a different
vein at Pearl City. He particularly ad-
dressed himself to the women. He adj
vised them to influence their husbands
to do right to everybody and said: IF
your men should not act in the proper
way, leave them forever and e you
have not money to carry on any suits
i'm court, / will be your attorney at no
expense to you" He drew many hearty
laughs from his audience despite his
seriousness.
Many stood up. William hoffman
announced that he was a candidate for
the legislature and so did John Poe and
+. NJ. keone. They had hardly finished
pleas for their own recognition when
up rose an old man, Kahukumakalani
and denounced them as unfit. He said
that the self-nominated candidate.
were not the men they wanted AMI pro-
posed that legislative candidates be
named by the central committee of the
native party. The words of the old man
whose name means THE Lord in Heav-
en-, were received with cheers and his
suggestion was adopted unanimously.
The meeting then adjourned.

THE TRIO Ar WAIANAE.
A Hundred Natives Hear Speeches
IN the Church.

Especial Correspondence
WAIANAE, June 19.-About one hun-l
dred native men. women and childrenI
gathered at the waianae church this
evening at o'clock to listen to the
speeches of ]. X. Kaulia. KalauokalaniI
and Bob" Wilcox, the leaders of the
independent party.
]. X. KaulIa presided and opened the
meeting by calling On S. B. Hui, an ex-
deputy sheriff. for a prayer. Follow
ing Hufs invocation, Kalauokalani took
the platform and delivered himself of
an eloquent and interesting address.
He explained to the gathering the prin-
ciples of the Independent party and
dwelt on the purport of Territorial law.
He reviewed the report of Bob" Will
cox upon his return from the States
and urged Hawaiians 90 stand up for
equal rights with everybody. He spoke
at length upon what the mass meeting
of Independents had done at the drill
shed and urged upon those present the
necessity Of Identifying themselves
with the Independent party of Hawaii
When Wilcox took the floor he prac-
tically repeated what he said at the
drill shed mass meeting not long ago
j. X Kaulia read the platform of the
Independent party to the assembly af-
ter which he dilated upon the respective
merits of the three leading political
parties of this Territory: Republican.
Democratic and Independent. He said
the Independent was to the other par
ties as the weight-registering bar of
weighing machine is to the rest of the
apparatus. The Independent party
showed results and that was the point
to be considered.
In speaking of the so-called anti-ha-
ole sentiment, Kaulia said that the par
~ was not responsible for any of this
sentiment which might exist. Rev. S.
r. Bishop. he said. was responsible for
the feeling on account of certain arti-
cles he had written in United States pa
pers. This is why he had said down
with the missionaries" in his speech at
the drill shed. He advised the natives
to stard together for in union there is
strength.
Rev. Kaaia closed the meeting with
n prayer.
