TRIUMPHAL MARCH.
Received Everywhere with Bands ana
Professions, Flags and Firecrackers-
1000 People at Nawlllwill Wharf.

Leung Chi-tso, the Chinese reformer,
seems to have met with one continual
ovation on Kauai. His tour of that Is
land seems to have been a triumphal
march, with professions, flags, fre-
crackers, barbecues and bands.
He arrived this morning by the w.
G.. Hall from Nawiliwih When he left
kapaia yesterday to go to Nawiliwili to
take the steamer he was escorted by
the Portuguese band and several hun
dred people of all nationalities and at
the wharf it is said that there were
fully 1000 people to see him Off the
Chinese, japanese and Hawaiian labor
ers on the adjoining plantations turning
out en- masse to see him off.
Leung Chi-tso left Honolulu May 90
accompanied by c. Yaknam, Tom Dow,
Young Bew, G. p. King, Pan Sam and
Ng Fawn. He landed at Lihue and
proceeded the same day to Kapaa.
where there was already a branch of
the Bow Wong Society. The members
of the society, together with the rice
planters, the laborers from the rice and
sugar plantations, and nearly all the
merchants, about five hundred in num-
ber, met him about a mile from Kappa
and escorted him in procession to the
hall. The procession was accompanied
by two bands, and included whites,
japanese and natives, as well as Chi
nese. At the hall there was a big din
ner and speech making. Leung Chi-tso
remained here two days, holding meet
ings and explaining the objects and
purposes of the reform movement.
There were large crowds at all the
meetings, and many whites, Japanese
! and HaWaiians. as well as Chinese,

/ party went to Hanalei, where the scenes
of his stay at Kapaa were repeated

Hanapepe, Waimea and Kapaia, every
where meeting with the same kind of
reception.
| Six branches of the Bow Wong Socie-
! ty have been established in Kauai. In
all of them others besides Chinese are
members. The following are the presi-
dents of the several branch societies:
Kappa, Wong Feart; Hanalei, Chock

Leung Chi-tso has lately received q
/ second letter confirming the one re-
! ceived some time ago written by rela-
/ tive of the grand old man Of China,
Ii Hung Chang, urging the reformers
to keep up their work.
In the last newspapers received from
/ Hongkong is the following:
The mandarins of the Shanghai
neighborhood have received dispatches
! from tHe Soutn reporting Ine existence
of a widespread rebellion in the prov
| inces of Kwangtung, Kwangsi, Kwei-
chou and Human. So far it is only
! known that the rebels are under one
4 leadership, but full details are expected
! to arrive in a few days from the offic-
ials of the disturbed provinces in ques-
| ton"
This uprising, Leung Chi-tso feels GER
tain is an uprising of the reformers to
wrest the control of affairs from the
| empress dowager, and re-establish the
authority of the Emperor Kwang Hsu.
The uprising of the reformers is not to
be confounded, he says. with the dis
turbances created by the Boxers. The
latter represent the anti-fOreign and
reactionary element, and are covertly
supported by the empress dowager.
