ANOTHER BOXER UPRISING
DR.. Sun Vat Sen Tells What
Hope He Has for Republi-
canism in China.

his head, dreaded by the Manchu gov
eminent at Picking, regarded as power
among the Chinese people proper, and
travelling around the world without a
bodyguard, DR.. Sun Vat Sen, head of |
the radical revolutionary party of
China, arrived in Honolulu two weeks
ago, and is quietly holding conferences
among his adherents here and once |
more visiting his relatives. DR.. Sun
Vat Sen was born and educated in Ho-
nolulu, Iolani College claiming the hon.
or of having been the schooling place |
of the man now known around the |
world.
The famous revolutionist has often
made Honolulu his headquarters and
strong junta of his party is maintain
ed here. He is an American citizen, so
decided in court.
Some months ago, when DR.. Sun was
heading revolution in South China,
the Picking government offered $65, 900
for his head. Various viceroys in China
have since offered enough more in the
last four years to raise the price to
nearly 100000. In spite of this for
tune for his delivery, dead or alive, tUI
the Manchus, DIR. Sun not only travels
all over the world without bodyguard,
but he is frequently in China, particu.
larly the southern part where he places
himself at the head of discretionary
Chinese and battles with the govern
ment troops.
Time for Change.
Doctor Sun believes that the time is
almost ripe for radical changes in the
system of government in the vast Chi
nese Empire. He is of the opinion, and
states it positively, that the Manchu
dynasty is weakening, and that within
a few years-a very few years, he adds
signifcantly-the Chinese proper will
rise and drive the Manchus out Of the
empire, and upon the ruins of that
dynastic throne Doctor Sun hopes to
see erected republican form of gov
eminent.
''Do you believe that the Chinese
can be made to make such a radical
departure in the form of government
from an emperor to PRESIDENT" he
was asked.
"The Chinese regard the Manchus
as usurpers, our conquerors,' replied
Doctor Sun. "The Manchus have new
er been able to affiliate with the Chi
nese, but the latter have, for some
reason, never been able to rise and
overthrow them. If the way was
shown them to overthrow these for
leigners-the Manchus-I believe they
would accept whatever new form of
government was offered them, if it was
Chinese government"
Preparing for War.
Upstairs in the little back editorial
office of the Liberty News, Chinese
daily newspaper, where Lo Sun yields
the editorial pen, and where a radical
revolutionary propaganda is carried on
for the benefit of the Chinese of Ha-

Sun Vat Sen, the famous revolutionist
last night told of his hopes and the
ideal toward which he has aspired for
so many years. For about two weeks
Doctor Sun has been in Honolulu, liv.

to China, the trip which he now be.
lieves will be fraught with history, a
history in which all the powers will
be interested.
Six years ago Doctor Sun sat in an.
other editorial office and told for The
Advertiser readers his hopes and some
of his plans. In those six years that
have passed Doctor Sun has labored un.
ceasingly in his system of education
among the Chinese of the Empire, un.
dermining the Manchu government
wherever and whenever possible.
Last night, in calm language, he told
of the movement which, he believes, IS
beginning to wear upon the Manchu
dynasty, a movement which, like drops
of water upon stone, gradually wears
lit away.

an idealist by some, but he Is practical
He points to the movement of the
| Young Turks in Turkey, and states
that the movement which he heads in
China is identical in spirit and plan
with that which caused the overthrow
of Abdul Hamid and the establishment
of modernized government. lacking

once possessed by the fallen sultan.

''There is, but there is more danger
to the dynasty from its own weak

Doctor Sun.
"There will be another Boxer up
