Nephew of Great Reformer
Reviews Man From Chi
neSe Standpoint.

New York, JAM 9-Y. S. Wan. the
nephew of the great Chinese reformer,
Kang Yu Wei, who is in the city said
in an interview with a representative
of the Associated Press today:
The American people have made a
mistake. In believing that Yuan Shi
Kali recently dismissed from his great
office in Peking, was a reformer. Not
only was he not a reformer, but a
destroyer Of reforms.
1T WAS Yuan Shi Kai who caused
the failure Of the progressive move
ment in 1898, OF which the late en-
peror Kuang Hsu was the leader. as
listed By a group of enlightened and
brilliant officials and scholars, to-
gether with a small number OF the
merchant class. The empress dow
ager. who was an Intense conservative.
was the directing mind of the party
opposed TO reform. the emperor, in
order TO strengthen nis position to
protect himself and to exercise the full
powers OF a ruler to which he was
entitled. took Yuan Shi Kai into his
confidence and Influenced him to or
ganize modern army. He organized
the army, betrayed the emperor's
plans to the empress dowager, and
became her principal instrument In the
coup d'etat OF 1898. which annihilated
the influence Of the reformers at court
and reduced the emperor TO a mere
ward OF the dowager empress. who
thereafter used the supreme power OF
the state.
1T was natural. therefore. and inev-
table that the progressive, intelligent
and able regent, Prince Chun. should
dismiss Yuan Shai KAl from his Office
and separate the regency from his
detrimental influence.
Il should like TO assure Americans
that there will be no serious Tevolu-
tionary outbreak In China in conse-
Quence of Yuan Sh Kai's disgrace, nor
will there be any INJURY TO foreign In
terests in tho empire. Yuan Sni Kai
has lost esteem by having pursued
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 1t would be
because certain Of mis- friends might
foolishly believe that they could In
timidate the regency into restoring
him TO influence or succeed in enlist
ing foreign support In his behalf"
Mr.. Wan added that Yuan Shat Kai
probably became better known abroad
than any other Chinese statesman be-
cause he came more in contact with
foreign envoys who came to regard
him as sincere in his professions of
respect for foreign institutions.

Washington. Jan. 9-That the

CARMIC ICHAEL

Minister Believed TO Have

Port Huron, Mich, Jan. 10.-It be-
came known here today that Rev John
H. Carmichael. minister of the Battle

was toward discovering the where.

idea seems to prevail here tnat If the
missing preacher perpetrated the
butchery 1t must have been insanity
which caused him to do 1t.
Two of the generally accepted pos
sibilities are TO the effect that the
minister may have been led by dis
ordered brain TO make his way back
to his old home in West Virginia or
his former pastorate In Nebraska.

Port Huron, Jan. with the eX-
haustion here today of every known
clue that would tend to clear up the

ING for Mr Carmichael, for whose
arrest on-the- charge-oG numbering
Gideon Browning and burning his
body In the church stove, a reward OF
S500 Is offered.
Except for the report that man
answering to the ministers descrip~
ion took an early morning train FROM
the tunnel station for Chicago on the
day OF the murder there were few
real developments in the mystery To-
day
fIrs Carmichael was brought here
for further examination by Prosecutor
brown She told the prosecutor that
S.er husband had for some time suf-
fered from an affection of his head,
which caused pus TO form and dis
charge from his ears. This trouble
is taken to support the belief that
Carmichael must have been insane,
IL he killed Browning.
In support OF the belief that 1t
was Carmichael who took the train
fer Chicago on Wednesday morning
Is the fact that the minister's horse
was found a few miles from the tun'
nel depot, headed back toward the
scene OF the murder.
In corroboration of the belief that
the murder was committed by some
ope thoroughly familiar with the
church, 1t is pointed out that one Of
the two stoves in the edifice did not
draw well, and that 1t was in the other
atoye, capable of developing roaring
fire, that the body was cremated.
Browning was evidently attacked and
killed in the rear of the church and
then dragged down the aisle to the
stove with the better draft.
The feeling expressed by number
OF the neighborhood farmers leads TO
the belief tnat the Battle Run church
will be torn down as soon as the au-
thorities have concluded their inves-
LEGATIONS OF the murder mystery. Many
members OF the church express a de-
termination never again to worship in
the building.
