SUN YAT sen
AND KANG VI WEI

An incident occurred in Singapore a
few years ago which bears upon the
present rising in China. It concerns
Kang Yu Wei, who was for some time
the late Bmperor's adviser, and Sun
Vat Sen, the present revolutionary
leader. Toward the end of 1901 Kang
You Wei, whose conduct had induced
the Chinese government to offer $780,
600 for his head, made his appearance
in Singapore, and, was detained by Sir
Alexander Swettei1ham. the colonial
secretary. Shortly afterwaTd three
Japanese arrived and asked for an in
terview with Kang Yu Wei, and the
colonial secretary had them arrested.
Two of them were of the swashbuck-
Ter class, and the third WAS a school
master. They were examined. and it
was ascertained that the schoolmaster
taught in Chinese schools and acted
as a sort of agent for Japanese capt
talists. There are" he said, "a guam

asked what they came to Singapore
| for, but they lied hard, and it was de-
termined to Danish them. They had a
large sum of money, which was taBen
from them. A vessel was leaving on
the following day Sunday, and ii was
decided to place them on board this
ship.
On the Sunday Sir Alexander SWEET
tenham received information that Sun
Vat Sen had turned up in Singapore;
The was travelling as a japanese, and
wanted to see Kang Yu Wei. Sun Vat
Sen stated that since his adventure in
! London, where he was kidnapped and
detained at the Chinese legation, he
had been in Japan He was asked
whether he was not afraid to travel in
China His reply was, mo. l have
| learned the Japan ese language, and
pass as a perfect Japanese" He GER
tainly did make an. excellent Japanese.
When asked why he wanted TO sec
<ang Yu Wei, he replied that he was
! at the head of u revolutionary move
ment in China, and that his party Was
lstrong, though not nearly so strong as
!Kang Yu Wei's party His wish was
to combine with Kang Yu Wei's party.
IF they could join forces, he added,
they would be irresistible, and would
succeed, as he had plenty of money.
Sun Vat Sen explained that the coal
owners of Japan, who devoted a large
proportion of their profits to the sup
posed ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF Japan, were
backing him. He was told that the
government could not allow plots to be
Matched at Singapore, and was refused
permission to see Kang Yu Wei Then
Sun Vat Sen said: "Yon have arrested
three of my men, and you have got u
lot of money from them" The colon
/ ial secretary theTeupon threatened to
Danish him, and advised him that, as
his mission had failed, he had better

was to sail that day, and which would
probably carry Sens three men, to
whom would be returned the money
which had been taken from them. All
| four left by the steamer for Hong
! kong, but Sir Alexander Swettenhaln
telegraphed to Sir Henry Blake that
they were on board the vessel. with
the result that they were not allowed
to land there, and went on to For

Ideas Of Freedom.
Nothing would convince Sun of the
futility of his efforts. Quietly insis-

enthusiasm, he brushed aside all OBJ

object and he was convinced he would

Hung Fa Lau fourteen years before. i
1t was during one of these CONVEX

Sun Vat Sen was born in Heung-
shan, near Macao, in 1867. His father
was a farmer, and. | believe, Chris
ton convert. His brother was engag-
ed in business as a merchant at Homo
lulu, and when about twelve years Of
age Sun Vat Sen went there with his
mother and was educated in various
mission schools. He first went to an
English mission school, and then to a
French school, and was for a short |
period at the Oahu College (Ameri. |

railroad securities commission, heaC
ed by President Arthur Z. Hadley O
Yale, has reported that it would b
practically impossible at this time t.
place issues of railroad securities ur
der federal control. The commission
recommends that enforced publicit
for all railroad financing is the mos
effective weapon against stock water
ing which the government has at il
command.
Too Much Regulation.
The commission takes the grount
that constitutional questions involvine
the scope and extent of federal au
thority are unsettled and will remain
so for some time, and that while such
condition exists, to superimpose fed
eral regulation upon state regulation
would add to the conflicts and com
plexities which, in the public interest
should rather be diminished than in
creased.
Unless the constitutional power OF
Congress to regulate securities of in,
terstate railroads is definitely estab.
lished as being exclusive of state con
rol, either the federal government
and the states will come to a general
understanding as to the principles to
be adopted in the control of security
issues or the railroad systems will be
given the opportunity to exchange
their state charters for federal ones"
says the report
Until such exclusive jurisdiction
can be established, the creation of a
separate administrative body. subject
ing the railroads tC new system of
concurrent supervision, in addition to
the many old ones which now exist,
does not seem just, expedient or
economical"
A Basis for Regulation.
Accurate knowledge of the facts
surrounding the issue of securities and
the expenditure of the proceeds is the
natter of most Importance" the com
mission says TT is the one thing
Ipon which the federal government

fundamental thing which must serve

debt. II is the degree of publicity
rather than the stringency of the law
which gives to the people any real
protection. A stringent law made
quately enforced and secretly evaded
is the worst thing that can be possibly
offered to the public, because it gives
color to claims WHICH have no founda-
tion AM fact"
In determining the physical value of
railroads in relation to their securities
now outstanding. the commission puts
aside as entirely out of the question
any attempt to scale down outstand-
ing securities on the ground that con-
stitutional difficulties, public eXpedi-
ency and confidence in American rail
road investments would forbid it.
The commission feels that railroad
has gone so far and such
a volume of securities has already
been issued that the only questions of
real importance are whether it is de-
sirable for the federal government to
regulate the issue of future securities,
and, if So TO what extent and in what
manner.
