on imperial rule had its inception in
the United States. DR. Sun Vat Sen,
a small, energetic, black eyed Chinese
physician, who arrived in San Fran
CISCO eighteen years ago with a band
of Manchu spies ON his heels, started
the fight. Hiding himself in the China
town of the coast city, he lost no time
in working out his great scheme look
ing to the organization of the present
republic.
With a price put on his head (75, 600
taels, about $4,000 in American cur
rency) and hunted by men OF his own
country with murder in their hearts,
his position was far from comfortable.
Yet the intrepid little revolutionist did
not falter. and 1000 miles distant from
the Flowery Kingdom, which he had
vowed to redeem, consecrated himself
to work that seemed audacious and
destined to failure.
IN HIDING FIVE MONTHS
Five months passed after he reached
San Francisco before he ventured in
the streets. There had been all this
time frequent exchange of cipher ca

NV Georgetown from the brig
" AIbatross and were ready to
start on our return voyage
to Liverpool when the captain was no
titled that ten French conyicts from
the penal settlement of Cayenne had
escaped to sea in yawl.
Three days later and 100 miles to the
south our lookout sighted the craft and
her convict crew. In a quarter of an
hour the yawl lay off our port bow
within speaking distance.
Hello, captaini Our ship went down
off here (pointing to the east yesterday
afternoon We have neither food nor
drink, and we ask you, in the name OF
humanity, to supply u.s.
Il have nothing to spare, and warn
you to keep OFF, shouted the captain in
answer to the request.
We had seen no arms among them
and had supposed them to be without
weapons of any sort. To our great sur
prise, five muskets, taken from the
guard when they escaped, were sud-
denly lifted into view, while four oars
dropped into the water, and the yawl
made for our bows. There was a fierce
yell from every convict, and those with
muskets opened fire. Captain Rothsay
was killed and the second mate wound
ed even before they had hooked on.
We scalded them with boiling water
and fought them with whatever we
could lay hold of, but within five min
utes the brig was captured. We had a
foremost hand killed in the fight on
deck, and none of US escaped injury.
As an Offset we killed two of the con-
victs while they were trying to board.
As chief officer was asked about our
cargo and destination, and, on the other
hand, the leader Informed me that they
were sorry to interrupt our voyage, but
intended to use the brig to make good
their escape.
The first thing was to get rid of the
dead bodies. They allowed us to sew
them in canvas before they went over
board, and then our wounded men were
leader said to us:
1--WE mean you no harm. We are
desperate men and intend to make our
| escape. After we have been landed in
some safe place you may sail away
with your brig. If you try to deceive
us we will show you no mercy"
1 was further Informed that 1 must
act as captain and navigate the brig,
and 1 was allowed to choose a mate
from among my men. After that a
council was held among the eight of
us as to what place should be steered
for. 1 brought them the charts from
the cabin, and after a long debate it
was decided to run for the Amazon.
From the very first 1 had hoped that
we might retake the brig, but the con-
victs would only trust US so far. The
watches were so divided by order of
Moran that our men were separated,
and two of the convicts were kept IN
der arms to act as sentries. Moran
and the second mate had quarters aft
with me, while all the others berthed
forward All of US were under sur
veillance, and no two of us were ever
left alone together. While none of
them could take the wheel, they kept
constant watch on the compass

The Manchus were a hardy and

YUAN's NOTABLE CAREER

udn SQ1Q ha1 favored granting the
court generous pensions and according
special honor to the dowager empress
because her husband, the late Kwang-
ern emperors Of China.
Yuan Shin Kai has had an eventful
career. Last year he was placed in
supreme command of the military op-
erations of the imperial troops. On
Jan. 2, 1909, he had been dismissed
and ordered to vacate all his Offices
This was following the death of the
late empress dowager, in whose time
he was vastly powerful. His dismissal
was said to have been due to his be-
ing an obstacle to the reapportion-
ment of imperial patronage and power
for the benefit of the prince regents
family and that Of the new empress
dowager.
Yuan Shih KaPs consent to return
to Office came after refusal of several
government overtures. The most i'm
portant effort to get him back occur
red in 1910, when the government ap-
pointed Tang Shao vi president of a
board in Picking as a conciliatory
measure and sent him to ask Yuan to
join in arranging railway and curren-
cy loans and pacifications of the oppo-
nents of the governments policy of
Industrial development by use OF for
eign loans.
When he was appointed commander
Of the forces in 1908 Yuan Shih Kaf
set to work at once to put the Chinese
army on a modern basis
When the Boxer uprising began he
was appointed governor general of
Shantung. He took his foreign drilled
soldiers with him and at the very OPEN
ing of his reign struck terror into the
hearts of the Boxers
TANG SHAO vi
Tang Shao vi is not only one of the
most eminent of the younger school of
Chinese statesmen and one of the most
successful and modern of China's ex-
ecutive officials. but he is thoroughly
imbued with western ideas, an educa-
tor and reformer. He was the pro-
tege of Yuan Shih Kai and is classed
as an astute politician and leader.

How well these plans, most of
which owe their origin to the fertile
brain of DR.. Sun Vat Sen, have sue
ceeded is shown by the recent propos-
al to establish the republican form of
government for the Celestial Kingdom,
with Yuan Shin Kai president, Sun
Vat Sen vice president, Tang Shao
vi premier and Ii Yuen Heng minis
ter of war. With Yuan Shih Kai, an
educated Chinaman, in Sun Vat Sens
own class and Sun Vat Sen himself
at the head of affairs, instead of the
tyrannical rule of the Manchus, the
future would seem to hold out hope
that the dreams of new China
which Sun Vat Sen brought with him
to the United States will be fulfilled.
The republican leaders will allow
the infant Pu vi to retain the title of
Manchu emperor, but not emperor of
China.

 Or. Mrs. Belmont may have had in her minds eye Miss Jane Addams, Of Chicago, who seconded the nomina- tion of the Colonel at his convention last August.

That Mrs. Belmont is very earnest in her work for the Equal Suffrage cause must be con- ceded.

AGAIN THE HALreuT INDUSTRY,

In the seven weeks between Octo. Der and November 2l. there were shipped out Of the port of Juneau l.. l5S boxes. or 579.OOO pounds Of fresh haHbut. according to figures printed in The Empire yesterday. This is a not iuconsiderable showing, as it H. Iustrates the importance Of this in- dustry. and the proportions which it may be expected reach in the i'm. mediate future.
 In recent articles published in this newspaper it was stated that Juneau occupies a commanding position in this industry, an importance which should be carefully safeguarded and expanded with the development of halibut fishing. It was stated that this port lies nearer the halibut fish, ing banks than other places which also have a not inconsiderable fishing bus mess. The money expended here by the fishing fleet is an important item in the business of the city. It is worth fostering. It is worthy of en- couragement not alone because Of it's present value but also because of it's great future possibilities.
 We gather from the news article printed yesterday that a cold storage plant is a necessity for the legitimate expansion Of this industry.
 The system of culling as followed by the Seattle wholesale fish dealers, We are assured. entails a heavy loss on local fsherman-a loss that would be largely prevented. were the fisher man able to dispose of their product here. or have 1t properly cared for be- fore shipment.
 In any event the matter is worthy of the serious consideration of the business interests of this port. We want to capture and hold all the trade that We can. and We want to increase it in every legitimate way. We must reach out for more whenever an op portunity presents itself. and We want to seek for opportunity. without wait ing for it to knock at the door
 There is no doubt that Alaska fisher men are being defrauded and discrim, mated against in many ways. by in, terested dealers elsewhere. And the facts We have thus briefly outlined are. We think. entitled to a careful consideration. and then action. on the part Of the citizens of this district.

sTARVATIoN-AN OBJECT
 LESSON.

Death by starvation, and in a mighty city filled with plenty for those who have, and with cold charity for those who have not, was the fate of a poor Chicago woman. with a baby at her breast, on the last Sabbath day
 We do not know the details of this sad, sad case, but it would seem as though in whole city full, friends she had none" Mere words are in. adequate to express the feelings when confronted with such phase of our civilization. There is certainly some thing wrong, somewhere, in our so- cial economy, when a woman can starve to death-when anyone may starve to death-unheeded and un- known. It is something to give one pause. and cause to wonder where this great nation is drifting. These things are common, someone will say; that they have been common ever since the world-and with 1t human misery-began. Aye, common as sor- row, but that, men and brethren. does not alter the fact that such condi- ton should not be in a great, rich and powerful nation-a nation that is hu- mane and filed with well-meaning men and women.
 We are told that our exports and imports for this year of grace will reach the stupenduous total of four billion dollars, the greatest of record in the history of this country. And yet in the very shadow Of colossal wealth and the refnements which it is supposed to bring. stalk ghastly poverty and grisly death.
 "The poor ye have always with you" said a great teacher. True, but abject poverty and it's handmaiden, starvation have no place within the confines of a nation such as ours.
 Thousands of willing hands in Chi cago would have been gladly reached out to aid the needy in just such cases as we have cited, had they but known. There is no doubt of that. But they did not know, although, per haps, as a people we should know that the whole trend of our economic and social systems for a half century or more has been to grind down the faces

MINING AND PUBLICITY.

The Daily Empire is regularly chronicling the development work ac. compTshed. or which is in progress or contemplated, by the different mining com .anies and individuals in this district
 Never before has such wide public ity been given to the mining develop ments of this great section and that The Empires work is appreciated is evidenced by the words of commenda- ton that 1t receives.
 It is The Empires desire to help in furthering every legitimate Alas. ka industry. And this can be best done by giving the right kind of pub licity as to work accomplished or un- der way.
 The leading industry of Alaska is its mines. but the southern position also leads in fisheries and both are capable of great expansion.

cRlME.soAKE0 VILLAINS.

The McNamara brothers now in San Quentin penitentiary-one serving a life sentence, the other fifteen years were most amazing williams. Their own confessions have proved that. But it is the notifications of their plotting that are almost incomprehen- sible to the finite mind of man. Not content to blow up buildings. wreck bridges. to burn. destroy and commit wholesale murder. and wreak yenge- ance on private citizens, it is now al lcged that they planned the blowing up of the Panama Canal, the greatest engineering feat of either ancient or modern history.
 Of course this story comes from the lips of ortie McManigal himself. a ma. lodorous scoundrels, according to his own sworn confessions, but the fact that the McNamaras who confessed to one atrocious crime. lends credence to those that they contemplated, even If told by a McManigal, who, it is hoped. when the government gets through with him, will be placed where he will have plenty of time for re. pentance
 The McNamaras, the McManigals, and others of the same kidney. have done much to injure the cause of or. ganized labor. which cannot afford to ally itself with such reckless human fiends or their works.

ALBINo A PUZZLE

The albino is still one of the puz-
zles of science. Beyond the knowl-
edge that albinism is due to a lack
of the normal pigment in skin and
hair the psychologist and pathologist
are about as much at sea regarding
the real explanation Of this freak
of nature as they were a hundred
years ago. AS to. the ultimate why
of the problem-why the pigment is
missing in the albino-there is moth
ing but collection of Unconvincing
guesses. Regarding the statistics of
albinism nothing satisfactory is OBJ
tainable except in two countries. In
Italy the albinos number about one
in every twenty thousand of the pop
ulation, whereas in Norway the rate
is twice as high, with one in every
ten thousand.
