might be called the young China
party. Its hope then was to bring
about reforms in the existing govern
ment. The party was betrayed to the
government by traitors in it, and a
large number paid the penalty with
their lives.
Dr. Sun escaped to Japan, and
thence to Hawaii, and from that time
to the present his life has been given
to the idea Of a Chinese republic
From Hawaii he went to London
and there in 1896 he was lured into
the Chinese embassy, whence it was
planned to spirit him to China, where
his life would have been forfeited. He
was enabled to communicate with
friends, however. and the British for
eign Office was appealed to, resulting
in his immediate liberation.
About this time he brought his wife
and family to Hawaii and established
them with his mother in his native
ulSJTlCt, a quiet agricultural IeSiOi, 9O
high on the slopes of Haleakala that ii
has temperate climate, and where
for upward of forty years a colony OF
Chinese farmers have raised corn and
pigs and other products of the tenn
perate zone for the Honolulu market
There the family lived until about
three years ago, when they joined him
in Penang, in the Straits Settlements
His mother died about two years ago
in Kowloon.

Sen necessarily has been more or less

a man of mystery. He has been con
stantly on his mission in arousing
Iamong his countrymen, whether in
China or scattered throughout the
world, his own aspirations and ideals.
His friends in Hawaii have known
only vaguely of his movements and
his whereabouts But that he has
made his personality felt and has been
the leading influence in the revolu-
tionary movement, his unanimous cleo
ton proves.
During the fifteen years since 1896
he has been in Hawaii several times
and on two or three occasions was
persuaded to make public addresses
on the subject nearest his heart One
question that was asked him often and
particularly by friends among the
whites, was whether he thought the
Chinese were fitted for representative
self governmental a republic. To
this he always warmly and enthusias-
tically replied that they were, and
sought to make his reasons for his be-
lief clear by explaining that in village
and local affairs China has been de-
mocracy for centuries.
His illustrations of this thesis were
extremely interesting, given as they
were by a Chinese who had opportuni-
ties for observing the workings of rep
resentative government elsewhere,
who could enter into the very spirit of
Chinese thought and custom and who
withal had splendid command of Eng
fish.
Mrs. Sun is an interesting woman.
She speaks English almost as well as
her husband She shares with him his
hopes and aspirations for China. For
fifteen years she has never known an
hour that she might not hear Of her
husbands assassination or his capture
and execution by the Manchu govern
ment.
DR.. and Mrs. Sun have several chill
dren, the eldest, Sun FosR son, who is
in Honolulu on his way to China to
join his father, but who expects to re-
turn to Berkeley where he has been
student at the University of Califor.

white and Chinese, the Rev. f. w Da-

Ho Fon, bank employe, among the
latter being especially generous in

After a comparatively short stay in
Hawaii, during which, however, he was
able to aid his mother very materially
in the effective and settled financing
of her business. he went to Canton
China, to study medicine, the thought
i'm his mind and the ambition of his
mother being that in this way he could
best be of service to his people. His
medical studies occupied about five
years and were pursued in Canton and

lying at the point of death and Lon
Stages is in the city lock up charged
with assault with billiard cue on
Mcdonald.
Mcdonald has been unconscious
since he was hit on the head, and
his breath has been coming hard and
fast, and the physicians think there
is but little hope for his recovery,
and others who have knowledge OF
the occurrence will not talk, and ia
formation is not easily obtainable.
From what can be learned McDoH-
aid, Ben Davis and Lon Stages were
in the house and a difficulty arose
among them. One story is that Da-
Wis and Mcdonald were fighting, and
Stages in some manner becam. in
fOASCu anu u6C0 a CuC, Stiih-
ing Mcdonald on the head, knocking
him down and rendering him uncoR-
scious.
Another story is to the effect that
the fight was between Stages sn0
Mcdonald and that Mcdonald under
took to get pistol that was behind
the counter, and that Stages grabbed
a billiard cue and struck him down
to prevent the use of the gun.
There are other rumors in connee-
ton with the incident that renders
them all of doubtful character. and
it is questionable if the truth Of the
matter will be known before the trial
comes off in the circuit court.
