PRACTITIONER
YOUTH FROM HAWAII GIVEN
LICENSE AS PHYSICIAN AND
SURGEON IN SAN FRANCISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 8.-Chang A.
Holt of 804 Stockton street enjoys the
distinction of being the first Chinaman
admitted to practice by the Board Of
Medical Examiners of California. He
received his official announcement Sat
urday and is now a full fedged physi-
clan and surgeon. He is proud of his
achievement and his countrymen exult
with him over his success.
Chang is not a native son, although
he has lived under the American flag
since the Hawaiian Islands were ad-
mitted to the Union. He was born in
the city of Canton, China, twenty-six
years ago. His parents were poor and
1t seemed in his early boVhood as If
his fate were TO be that of the yellow
hordes among which he lived. But
beneath his blue blouse were desires
and ambitions and a spirit and deter
mination that made him different from
his fellows.
At the age of 10 he ran away from
home to Hongkeng in search of a bet
ter life than that lac had known as a
goatherd and laborer IN the rice swamps
of the distant Chinese province. In the
great English stronghold he was told
OF a beautiful lard beyond the seas
where he could earn plenty Of gold and
be answerab!e TO 20 grasplng manda-
rim
He decided TO seek out these elyaian
fields OF which he heard and slowed
away on vessel bound for the United
states, When the boat reached Homo
lulu he was put ashore, lie found em-
ployment az once and, Htill oheFlshing

saved everw cent he could possibly
spare from the cost of existing. In a
year or two he set up a store on the
island of Hawaii. He was very young,
but he prospered in business neverthe-
less and his little establishment grew
to be a big one.
At the age of 81 he sold out his bust
ness, which was one of the largest
concerns of its kind on the Hawaiian
Islands. With much money in his
pocket, the slant-eyed boy then sailed
to America. He commenced upon his
studies Immediately and applied him
self as busily as ever to the fulfllment
of his purpose.
After he had learned to read and
write English ne determined to be a
doctor. He was admitted to the Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons and
always held a high rank in his class.
He was graduated with honors last
spring and recently appeared before
the Board of Medical Examiners for
the final test, which he passed easily.
He does not intend to parctice in the
United States, and after trip through
the country he will return to the city
of his birth. He has been Christian
lied and wears no queue. He states
that he means to uplift his country
men as far as rests in his power. He
will cure their bodies of physical ills,
teach them the advantages of civiliza-
ton and instruct them spiritually.

years hence, and that with Judge Par
ker out of the race Bryan will be the
central figure in democratic politics in
the meantime.
Some of the democrats who discuss
the no-second-term announcement are
inclined to be doubtful of his being able
to live up to it, if he were elected. They
recall that Mr.. Cleveland, early in his
official life, pronounced similar senti-
ments. but took three nominations at
the hands of his party, and in the opin-
ion of some, came mighty near taking
another one this summer.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
declaration of the New York Sun this
morning, flatfooted for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks, created a profound sensa-
ton in administration and official cir
cles. Naturally all the Republican
officials We're pleased. The Suns edi-
torial not only supports the Republic
can national ticket, but is very savage
in it's denunclat'on of the democratic
platform and policies.

When the Sun a day or two ago de-
clared editorially that nothing short
of a political revOlutic:l could elect the
democratic ticket, it was expected that
the paper was contemplating a let-up
on the head of the republican ticket,
but todays editorial went so far as to
be a genuine surprise.
Throughout official circles today the
SUMS stand was the a sorbing topic of
conversation, Republicans who are con-
versant with New York politics ven
tured the opinion that it would have
good effect upon the republican ticket
in New York state, and some even went
so far as to say that it virtually clinch-
ed the independent vote in New York
for the Republican ticket.

America the Friendly Power"
In 1857. Mr.. Harris. consul general of
the United States. made a new treaty
by which the port OF Nagasah was
opened to the United States, the friend
~ power" as the United States was
always styled in the diplomatic CORE
spondence with Japan. Then came Great
Britain with a treaty by which the
ports OF Neegata and IiogO were open
ed France and the Netherlands also
obtained treaty ports II was these
treaties which caused the trouble that
led up to the battle in 1868. The treaty
making powers did not understand the
internal political divisions of Japan.
These treaties were negotiated with the
Tycoon. supposed TO be the sovereign
ruler Of the empire. and such was the
supposition for ten years. AS matter
OF fact the government of Japan at that
time was feudsl in it's character. First
there was the Mil1ado, the titular ruler Of
the empire; then the Tycoon, exercising
executive power. and last, but not least.
petty princes, styled Daimios. who ruled
over thirty-seven provinces, had their
retinues, and were really the bone and
slnew or the military power Of the en-
pre-. Some OF these princes sided with
the Mikado against the progressive poll
cy OF the Tycoon. Others sided with
the Tycoon, and Japan was in commo-
ton. Tor ten years or more civil war

the United States legation was burned
the British legation was assailed and
several OF the British were ASA ssinated.
British Claims Paid.
For this. Great Britain demanded
100000 indemnity and ii was paid.
France and the Netherlands also had
trouble with the daimios The remark
able thing was that through all these
struggles not one Of these treaties was
valid or binding, not having been signed
by the Mikado. the real sovereign OF the
empire. 1t turned out that the Tycoon
was using his best endeavors Ia act in
good faith with all the treaty-making
powers, while they. in turn. supposed
he was practicing duplicity and stirring
up strife in order TO avoid the treaty
obligations. He was finally assassinated
by those opposed to opening Of Japan
to foreign trade. One of the most pow
erful princes opposed to foreign trade
was the daimio OF Nagato and Suo.

fact that never did either Of them rob

self-defense.
On the other hand many deeds of posi-
tive generosity are credited to their
records. But. during the time that they
were Ishmaelites, every thug. cut

to operate with impunity, knowing that
popular prejudice would assign his deeds
to one or the other OF the bands under

ers. Were the facts not now known.
the mere circumstances of FIVE stimuli

parts of the country being attributed to

solemnly that what 1 say Is the truth.
Notwithstanding all the accusations that
have been made against me. I never

prove that I was not in towns where
banks were robbed in Missouri at
the time that the raids took place, and

the Mortified bank raid, my name and
that of others in the family should be
utilized simply for the purpose of sen
sationalism. For instance, every book
purporting to narrate the lives Of the
Youngers has implied that we had part
in the robbery Of the bank at Liberty
Mo AS a matter of fact we were not
suspected at that time, nor for many
years afterward. The same is the case
with the bank robberies at Lexington
Mo-, and Savannah, Mo.
In 1867 the bank at Richmond. Mo.
was raided, the mayor was killed, and
the robbers raided the Jail. where were
confined a number OF prisoners. whose
arrest IL was asserted was due to their
secession proclivities. The jailer and his
hfteen-year-old son We're killed. War
rants were issued for several OF the
Quantrell band, including the husband
of Susie James, although he was in
Kansas City at the time and proved n
complete alibi. No warrants were issued
for any OF the Youngers, but every now
and then n story crops out which mikes

his brother he was hunted down and
shot like a wild beast, and never was

the slightest cause for mixing him up

Japan's Obstinancy.
On this occasion polite but decisive
language was used on the part of the
Americans. The Government OF the

commercial and political purposes with
