REFORMERS
TO CONFER
DR.. Sun and Leunq
Will Meet in
Honolulu.

Honolulu may have Chinese junta
for the direction of the reform and
revolutionary campaign in the Chinese
empire. Sometime next week a con-
ference will take place here between
two men which may have important
bearing on the political future Of Chi
ma. and may result in the overthrow of
the present Manchu dynasty and the
establishment of a Chinese Republic,
or constitutional monarchy.
DR.. Sun Yat-Sen, the great leader of
the revolutionary movement, who ar
rived from Cochin-Ch Monday, and
Leung Chi-Tso, head of the great Re
form, or Bow Wong party, will meet in
Honolulu next week on the arrival OF
the latter from San Francisco. DR..
Sun said yesterday that he and Leung
Chi-Tso are on friendly terms and un-
doubtedly would hold a conference on
reform matters, and may decide upon
plans for Joint action in spreading the
reform doctrine in the Celestial en-
pire.
An interview was given yesterday
by DR.. Sun to an Advertiser man.
Probably his most important utter
ances were the following:
IT think the outlook for the revolu-
tionary movement is very hopeful, as
the Chinese people are awakening, and
1 am strongly of the opinion it will
end the Manchu dynasty.
ut is only n question of time for
this to be accomplished-and l don't
think it will be far distant.
What of China's attitude toward
Russia, and the Mancnurian question?
I believe it is the desire of the I'm
perial government to permit Russia
to retain her hold on Manchuria and
annex it permanently to the Car $
realm. The reason is that the Imper-
ial government realizes that the peo-
pie are nocking to the revolutionary
movement, and begins to see its own
national weakness. The Imperial
government finds that it needs pow
er to protect it from this internal
movement and believes that Russia
will protect the dynasty by it's per-
hitting Manchuria to be held"
DIR. Sun stated in answer to ques-
| ton concerning his movements that
although he may not have actually
been in China, yet he was close by
in Cochin China-and directed his
representatives in China from there.
DR.. Sun moves mysteriously from
point to point, but is almost always in
constant touch with his lieutenants.
There is wonderful progress among
the people of China especially among
the scholarly class" he said. They
are the backbone of China. Former
ly they bitterly opposed any change in
China's political status. Then they
weakened on this policy after seeing
| the storm of unrest around them. No,
reform has hardly reached the I'm
perial government and never Will.
That is hopeless. Instead the govern
ment has adopted more severe meas
ures than ever.
1.-THE Chinese people are now arous-
ed to get rid of their Manchu conquer
ors.
"The affair of the Supao editors and
the writer's of the book (whose cover
is depicted above) which the Supao
editorially endorsed, has done wonders
in bringing this great matter before
the people The book was written
by a boy of II and was called The
Revolutionary Army An open Let
ter was also included in the work.
The Supao editors We're arrested and
prosecuted and for the first time III
the history of China the government
appears in the courts as plaintiif
against some of the people as defend
ants. This is an advance over the
former custom when heads We're cut
off without trial.
