that he had withdrawn the appoint
ment of his brother, George Elmer

kinds of trouble, At first some OF the
members wanted amendments added,
and Councilman j. H. Pickett offered
a motion that the resolutions be taken
lup by sections and acted upon His
motion failed to pass. Councilman
Campfield introduced a motion that

the four other parts of the resolutions
be passed. This motion carried.

Of
CHINESE
NEPHEW OF GREAT REFORAlER
REVIEWS MAN FROM THE CHI
NESE STANDPOINT-DESTIioN-
Err OF REFORMS.

NEW YORK. Jan l.-Y. 5. Wan,
the nephew of the great Chinese re-
former. kang Yu Wei. who is in the
city. said in an interview with rep
resentative OF the Associated Press
today:
THE American people have made
a mistake in believing that Yuan Sht
Kai, recently dismissed from his great
office at Peking, was a reformer. Not
only was he not a reformer. but "A
destroyer of reforms.
IT was Yuan Shi kai who caused
the failure of the progressive move
ment in 1898. of which the late EN-
peror Kuang Ssu was the leader. as
sisted by a group of enlightened and
brilliant officials and scholars. to-
ge,-er with a small number of the
merchant class. The empress dow
ager. who was an intense eonserya-
tive, was the directing mind of the
party opposed to reform. The EN-
peror. in order to strengthen his po-
sition to protect himself and to exer-
else the full powers of a ruler to
which he was entitled, took Yuan Shi
Nal lllO Ills 1OInntllNt anu llHutlit-
ed him 10 organize a modern army.
He organized the army. betrayed the
emperor's plans to the empress dow
ager. and became her principal in
strument in the coup d-etat of 1898,
which annihilated the influence Of
the reformers at court and reduced
the emperor TO mere ward of the
dowager empress. who thereafter
used the supreme power of The state.
1T was natural. therefore. and in
evitable that the progressive, intelli-
gent and able regent, Prince Chun.
should dismiss Yuan Shi Kai from
his office and separate the regency
from his detrimental influence.
Il should like to assure Ameri-
cans that there will be no serious
revolutionary outbreak in China in
consequence of Yuan Shi Kai's dis
grace. nor will there be any injury
to foreign interests in the empire
Yuan Shi kai has lost esteem by
having pursued a personal. selfish
policy. The people of China. since
the Boxer disorders. have become
more enlightened.
IF there should be outbreaks in
the interest of Yuan Shi Kai. it would
be because certain OF his friends
might foolishly believe that they
could intimidate the regency into re-
storing him to influence or succeed
in enlisting foreign support in his
behalf
Mr. Wan added that Yuan Shi Kai
probably became better known abroad
than any other Chinese statesman be-
cause he came more in contact with
foreign ENJOYS who came to regard
him as sincere in his profession of
respect for foreign institutions.
