Sun Banker Now.
My father win not be the frat
president of the republic but il is
probable that Yuan Shi Kai. who he
came the provisional president on Nav
- when my father resigned, will be Sc
lected for that honor. He believes Mr..
hal rs better fitted for that position.
ror Tour months from January / until
may my father was the first provi-
slonal president but he has now given
up polltcs entirely in order that he
may devote all his time to business
He is in the banking business and il
so busy that he will hardly have time
to make a visit to the United States
Mt this time.
81 think the new president will be
selected within the next few weeks.
General Iii Yuen Hung is now provi-
sional vice'president and chief of staff
but will probably be given n very high
position as he is an able and popular
man,
" The greatest difficulty the Chinese
republic has to face Mt the present
time is the need of money. Negotia-
tons are now being carried on for
loan and with this it is expected that
we will be able to go ahead and organ
ize the governmental machinery. The
new system of government will be re-
modelled on the United States and
French plans. The American govern
ment is too free for us, because the
majority of the people in China do not
yet understand the meaning of a re-
public, and for this reason 1t seems
best to have some features of the
French government established.
Conditions Chaotic.
In the military branch of the gov
eminent many troops have been dis
banded and things are in a confused
condition. But the military system
will be reorganized, and the troops. for
whom there is now no pay money,
will be provided with funds when the
loan is secured
Especial efforts will be made to adj
vance education throughout the repub-
lie. In all the provinces government
schools win be established and there
will also be commercial schools. In
the high schools English will be taught.
'The present monetary system, too,
will be recognized. At the present
time each of the provinces has sys-
tenn of coming money of its own, which
makes it rather difficult to carry on
business outside the provinces We will
have established one system and this
will probably be the gold standard.
Peace Everywhere.
"All the people in the new republic
are now anxiously looking forward to
the time when everything will be or
gained and the governmental machin-
cry move along smoothly. Everyone
seems glad of the change in govern
ment and with the exception of slight
disturbances in one of the southern
provinces peace reigns throughout the
Sun Fo and his two sisters and his
iancee, Miss Kai Chun of Honolulu,
will sail for San Francisco Monday on
the Siberia and this fall all will enter
the University of California. Sun Fo
will take four year course in com
merce.
While here Sun 70 and his sisters
are being royalty entertained by their
many friends. The new party here is
anxious for Sun Fo to make an address
during his visit in Honolulu, but he
says there is practically no reason for

born on Maui but will not be able to
