Breach Is Widening.
Since the first publication Of charges
against the consul by the Liberty News,
in which the action of the consul in
calling upon all Chinese for fee of
$1.25 for a census of Chinese in Ha-
waii, was questioned and graft init
mated, the breach between the consul
and his people has widened, resulting
in the disclosure also that the consul
had sent the names of eight Chinese
to the Picking authorities, branded as
revolutionaries. OF the eight. Doctor
Sun was one. The other seven Chinese,
who live here are personally safe, but
reprisal is certain to fall upon the
heads of innocent relatives who may
reside in China. 1t was this=eertainty
which inAamed the minds of Chinese
against the consul, and day after day
new developments in the war between
consul and people show that it is reach
ing the point where the Peking gov
eminent win be involved in what may
be scandal of large proportions.
Consul Refuses Request.
When the committee of the Chinese
United Society called upon the consul,
he was asked to notify the Picking gov
eminent that he was mistaken about
the seven named, but he fatty refused
to take any action in the matter, and
refused to withdraw the names except
on his own conditions. The committee
included some of the best known men
of the Chinese community, Chu Gem,
c. X. All, Goo Wan Hoy, zee Chin and
Lau Tong, being of the number.
When pressed for a reason for his
refusal, the consul stated that when
Doctor Sun was in Honolulu recently
one of the seven men was friendly with
him and entertained him. BY this man
he was taken to the Liberty News office,
while he had also been the host at a
dinner party given at the Sun Yen Wo
restaurant on Smith street, where
speeches of a revolutionary character
were made. The party talked about
the revolutionary prospects. After
wards they were present at big meet
ing in the Chinese theater. That was
the reason he complained of these men
Must Break Away.
The consul is reported to have mott
fed the committee that if they and theil
society would accept his advice and say
nothing more in behalf of the revolu
tionary party, he would then take the
| request under consideration.
If his advice was not accepted anC
! the Chinese United Society again called
a meeting to oppose him, he intimatef
! he would complain of all other Chinese
here who had shown or expressed revo
lutionary sentiment and place thei'
names before the Picking authorities.
Ask for Liang's Recall.
( This report was made to the Chinese
/ United Society last night, and reso
, luton was passed authorizing com
mittee of three to draw up complain
! against the consul, to be forwarded t
/ the Chinese minister at Washington
! and also to the foreign office at Picking
requesting that LANG Kwo lie removed
from office.
At the meeting it was also propose,
to hold a big mass meeting this weel
to denounce the consul and discuss tn
situation thoroughly, so that the entir
cblony might have hand in the pre-
ceedings.
The consul's census proposal ha
stirred up-a hornets nest.
