Sun Vat Sen is name that may be-
come immortal in Chinese history, says
the New York Herald. He is a patriot
who aims at nothing short Of revolu-
ton. He would overthrow the Tartar
dynasty which has so long overridden
and overborne three hundred millions
OF Chinese. He would abolish age-long
abuses. He would institute reforms
that might place China on level with
the civilized nations Of the world. II
he succeeds, the China Of the future
will call him blessed. II he fails he
will die the death OF a traitor. What
says the old poet?-
Treason doth never prosper. What's the
reason?
For when 1t prospers none dare call It
treason.
To Americans Sun Vat Sen is esye-
cially interesting, because he lived
among Americans of the Pacific coast
for five years, and because he has en-
listed the purse and the arm of many
Americans In his service.

He studied medicine in that city under
an English physician, and later prac-
ticed his profession in Honolulu. While
there his attention was drawn to the
doctrines OF the Young China" party,
whose aim was to overthrow the Man-
chu dynasty and give a constitution TO
China. He became an enthusiastic
convert to these doctrines. Returning
to China, he soon rose to be leader
among the revoluntionaries. His head
quarters were at Hongkong. Hitner no
drew a number of Chinese from the
province of Canton with the object OF
organizing a conspiracy. The entire
province was to be overrun. Canton
freed. 1t was to be used as a base of
operation to clear the whole of China
from its conquerors and raise new
and free country on tn eruins of the
old despotism.
Before he could strike a blow the
plot was discovered by the Viceroy.
Sun Vat Sen and some thirty or forty
of the conspirators were arrested while
travelling through the province secret
