THE MAN TO SAVE CHINA.
Kong Yo W:ii Onee Emperor's Advis-
er. Now Louder of Reform Party.
From Ainslee’s Magazine.
"H is probably fortunate that there
existed at this time the very energet-
ic scholarly and able Kong Yo Wai.
whom tin* emperor had taken into bis
confident Kong had been educated
atavud. He was a master of political
history i.nd «n adept in statecraft H>s
brilliaM'ii'iml foresaw the dissolution
of the empire which would follow the
war with Japan. Prior to the war las
had addressed many petitions to the
emperor urging him to take radical
steps to prevent the fatal proceaa
and the emperor struck with the wis-
dem of the man summoned him to
his council. What was done through
ttie guidance of the new statesman is
a matter of history. Reforms of the
most sweeping character were inau-
gurated. and Kong Yo Wai fell frem
power along with his superiois.
Through shrewd planning and by the
aid of self-sacrificing loyalty of the
emperor Kong escated from the plots
of the empress dowager and her ad-
herents and at once turned his restless
and determined ambition for tin* good
of his country into new lines of activ-
"Tbrongh Kong Yo Wai's genius tbe
Po Wong Woey or Reform patty was
organized. Seemingly the influences
that had touched the emperor and
bis eyes to the possibilities of
modern civilization had touched thou
sands of other individuals jn similar
manner. Eor many years education
and enlightenment bad been making
steady although v-ry slow progress
through the nation. The missionary
the trader the traveler and the sports
man had been almost everywhere
among tbe people and their influence
bad created a vague yearning for bet
ter things than those of the ancient ex-
clusiveness. Many Chinamen tad
been abroad for education. Many had
been in America and Europe in mer
cantile adventure and had returned
to their homes tilled with ideas more
or less modern. Many more tad felt
the effect of tbe immediate neighbor-
hood of Hong Kong and Macao Por-
tugal's little island near Cariton.
When therefore Kong Yo Wai was
so dramatically deposed a spontaneous
sympathy for both him and for his
ideas came to life in all the eastern
portions of the empire. He became
at once the natural leader. Chinamen
tallied to him from everywhere. He
had but to appear in theneutral port
of Macao and make ills purpose known
in order to gather about him the nu-
cleus of the great movement now
known ns the I'o Wong Woey. This
organization aims to be all tlia* its
name implies. It proposes to reform
tbe celestial empire overturn the tra-
ditions and seclusions tl«it have ex-
isted for 5000 years open the door of
the country to the civilized world
build public schools construct a great
navy organize a merchant marine and
snake the nation one of the great fac-
tors in modem institution and ad-
vancement. The program is an am-
bitious one. People older in the ways
of civilization and progress than tbe
revolutionary faction of China might
well balk at it. But there seems to
be tremendous determination in this
instance which grows greater witli ev-
ery reverse. Already the membership
of the society has extended to over 25-
< 10001 k) subjects of the empire and its
influence ramifies through all provinc-
es and all qourts. Despite the depos-
ition of the emperor who was prac-
tically an element of the society the
power of the organization presses more
closely upon tbe throne and it looks
as if it might be only a question of
time before the empress dowager eith-
er puts into the deposed youth's place
« successor chosen by the Po Wong
Woey or submits to the same fate she
lias inflicted upon Kwang Hsu.”
PO WONG WOEY.
Chinese Revolutionary Junta Aims to
Save the Empire.
From Ainslee’s Magazine. *
“To save the Chinese empire from
dismemberment! That is the immedi-
ate object of the Po Wong Woey. T>te
jiatriotic members of this large move-
ment. realize tbe fate toward which
the empire is drifting and they knew
that the policy of the empress dowager
is only giving the foreign nations ad-
ditional reasons for grabbing land.
Their proposals therefore go to tbe
extreme length of deposing the em-
press or depriving her of power. It
possible they will put back upon the
throne the young Kwang Hsu and sur-
round him with counsellors from their
own body or they will elect 'from
among the hundreds of titled people
whose sympathy has been enlisted
either openly or secretly some person
who understands their purpose and
will be ready to execute them.
“The purity- of motive and the ab-
solute sincerity of the adherents of
Kong Yo Wai are suggested In the
nature of the organization which he
established. From Che outset it was
made* universal in ha membership. No
oath or other tent of loyalty was Im-
posed. It was presumed itat noth-
ing but patriotism would lead a Cinua-
tr.au to affiliate himself with the
movement. Heads are at no prein-
uian in tlie celestial kingdom and 1
short shrift is the lot of the fellow
who mils afoul of the powers that be.
Wherever a Chinaman may be he is
at lllierty to be a member of the Po
Wong Wcny if lie is In sympathy wi* ll
Its aims. lie may take an active pari
lu its ojierations. or lie may merely
lend it his moral encouragement. The
order is as free and broad as a repub-
lic.
“As another evidence of the cohesive
power of the movement it is notice-
able ttat there is no constitution or
general declaration of |arinciples.
There appear to be no formal officers.
The leadership is ns voluntary as the
tnenUership. In tl»> smaller juntas
scattered through the United States
Canada and Hawaii an informal sec.
rotary transmits the funds to the gen-
eral office at Macao or Hoilg Kong.
There nre no other officers. How so
extensive a scheme can be success id-
ly carried upon so informal a basis is
of course a matter to be wondered
at. .vet the liberality of tbe organiza
lion is undoubtedly Ilie secret of its
success. It places the Chinaman
solely upon his honor und the obliga-
tion to that often mythical element o*
human nature seems to ) k-ase him.
The Chinaman although ue always
walks iu single file is a gregarious
creature. He is fond of gatherings.
He likes to chatter. He likes vocal
noise. - He likes heroics. He lik**M
to be doing something. And When he
is away from home —in America in
Canada iu Hong Kong—the jwssibili-
ties of the junta suit well his habits.
He flocks to it with bis fellows. It
Is his pastime—his serious always In-
fotmal pastime.”

IN DARKEST AFRICA.
J 500.00 Worth cf Our Cheap Colored
Cottons for the Moslem.
Cyru.3 C. Adams in Ainslee’s.
“It is pleasing to turn from the re-
volting spectacle of some of the West
African tribes who had been bestial-
lalized by their devotion to trade gin
to the picture which the travelers
draw of the great Hausa states of the
Sudan under Mohammedan domain
for a century where such a thing as a
bottle oi spirits is never seen. For a
hundred years the Mohammedans of
North Africa have been pushing across
the Sahara and the Soudan bringing
all the barbarous peoples they have
met under the influence of Islam.
Thus Mohammedanism has far more
profoundly affected the lives of many
millions of black Africans than the
Christian influences which are only
just beginning tc make largo headway.
It cannot be said that this influence
of Islam is wholly salutary though ma-
ny observers like the learned Dr. Bly-
den of Liberia regard Islam as the
greatest civilizing agency yet intro-
duced into Africa; but these Moslem
proselytes have made the natives bet-
ter than they found them and have
stimulated foreign trade with ‘darkest
Africa to a remarkable extent. When
Stanley and other explorers began to
peneti ate equatorial regions they said:
“ ‘These tribes around the lakes who
dress in long garments made of bark
fibre are beginning to discard their
flimsy native cloth and are swathing
their bodies with fold after fold of
white cottons from England and Amer-
ica. The Arabs among them dress
in these cloths and have convinced the
natives of their over the
home-made cloth. A great future is
comir.g for the cloth trade in Africa.’
“The trade is growing every year.
Scores of tribes in Central Africa are
eager to buy ‘Mericani’ as they call the
cottons made iu America which trad-
ers now bring to their villages. About
October in every year the great cara-
van »hat crosses the Sahara from Mo-
rocco tc Timbuktu starts on its way.
The caravan numbers about 10000
camels and a fifth of them laden with
white American and British cottons
and blue and other colors. The great-
est imports of Tripoli which is the oth-
er great center of the desert caravan
trade are cotton cloths and most of
them are sent to the desert oases and
the fertile Soudan beyond. White cot-
tons are among the largest imports of
Zanzibar and many of them are sent
inland to the natives who never saw
these manufactures till the Arabs ap-
peared among them in their white gar-
ments. England has the largest share
in this trade but $500000 worth of
our cheap colored cottons were sent
Into th» wilds of Africa last year and
It Ie the Moslem who has opened these
new markets for the textiles of the ‘in-
fidel’ nations.
“But the Mohammedans have done
more than to open these new mark-
ets. They have stimulated textile
manufactures in the very heart of Af-
rica t j such an extent that cloth made
in the Soudan is now for sale in the
Mediterranean cities. The town of
Kano only a few days’ journey from
Lake Tchadhas been well called “The
Manchester of Central Africa.’’ for the
cloth it weaves from the native cotton
clothes more than half the people of
the central Soudan. Fanatical follow-
ers of Islam cannot keep out of touch

STAR OF UOm
Sincerity tbe Prevailing Tom- of the
Sing. Sing Newspaper.
Hutchins Hapgood in Ainsloe's.
“Au interview secured with Ilie edi-
tor of the convict newspaper Star of
Hope and the superintendent of the
Sing Sing prison tlnew light on the
eluructer of the convict contrMiutra
tbe way the editor and tin- highest of-
ficial work together and their general
kh.is about crime. Tbe superintend-
ent's ma tiller toward the inmates ns
well as what he said showed great
sympathy und a desire to improve
their condition. iWith the editor his
manner was quite familiar. They
discussed together the desirability of
establishing a deluting department in
the paper und the auperlntjjadent sug-
gested ttat the contributors see their
monusript with corrections upon it in
order to Is-lp the comparatively ignor-
and in mutters of English composition
and grammar. He snid he believed that
there were very few men who bad
reached the age of forty-five who had
not at son? time of their lives done
something for which they might tavc
been put in prison. The editor main-
tained that tta men inside prison walls
represent as high a level of intelli-
gence as men elsewhere nnd said wbat
particularly surprised the visitor ttat
the greater part of the 200 contribu-
tors from Sing Sing prison nlone had
served more tlmn one term tbe reason
being in his opinion that the old stag
its had thought more about the codl-
lions of crime than those serving
their first term. They are ‘wise guys’
nnd know wtat they nre writing
about.
"in answer to a question as to the
sincerity of the contributors the edi-
tor said that there wns no doubt more
or jess hypocrisy among thf«n. but no
mure than obtained elsewhere. lie
thought that seventy-five per cent of
th»- articles be revived wre sincere ex-
pressions of opinion. The superin-
tendent remarked that since the length
of time to serve was not shortened
by the character of their contributions
there was no particular reason why
they should not generally be alncere
but he added that it was desirable to
suppress a good many articles which
reflected on particular keepers be-
cause some of tbe keepers would know
the writer by Ilie cell number signed
and would have it in for him if they
were ‘roasted.’ He then commented
rather severely on the character of
prison officials pointing particularly
to the inordinately feminine nature
of their petty jealousies and snid that
nifiny of tbe prisoners ere men of far
greater intelligence than the men ap-
pointed to take care of them.
“In regard to reform the superin-
tendent believed that at least 500 men
in Sing Sing prison were willing and
able to lead honest lives. For tbe
Parole bill he said be would work as
long as he was on earth. Many men.
he thinks are reformed long before
their terms expire and that after that
they degenerate physically and men-
tally by being kept in prison and brut
eiized by confinement and forced into
tlie life again. It is enough for some
men to reform he thinks to appear in
court; the prison stripes turn the
hearts of otliers. Therefore for men
guilty of first offenses short terms
should be given he thinks and pointed
indiguantlj- to the fact ttat some
first terms are longer than second and
third tortus for the same offense. The
superintendent's words recalled the re-
mark of a famous criminal Austin
Bidwell who robbed the Bank of Eng
kind of a million dollars. He got n
life sentence hut after many years
was pardoned and when he came to
thiscountry was asked by JosiahFlynt
the tramp and criminologist what
kind of imprisonment was most ef-
fective as a preventative of crime.
‘I believe' answered Bidwell ‘in
short terms not more than two to
three years; but I believe ilsit the
time spent in prison ought to be mafle
livid hell for the prisoner.’
“Bidwell announced hitnslf not re-
formed by bis long imprisonment and
said he believed long term men in gen-
eral emerged broken down and with
a rancorous sense of the injustice of
society.
"Tlie editor sand and the superintend-
ent readily admitted that although
a large number are reformed a large
proportion of the several term men
look upon theft as their ]iertnanent
trade and confidently intend to steal
as soon as they are released.
These are confirmed criminals old
‘guns’ -who are once for all identified
with the life und many of these men
write for the Star of Hope. The sup-
erintendent told of one young crim-
inal whom he tad questioned.
“ ‘Where are you going when you
leave here?”
“ ‘To New York.’
“ ‘What are you going to do there?’
“‘I am going to stefal. That is my
professiou.'
“The inmate editor laughed and said
that many felt that way. but that
few were frank enough to say so.
This senw- seems likely enough for
probably two-third of the men
in Sing Sing are professional thieves.”
BLANK CARTRIDGES.
Citizen Says They Have Bpen Sup-
plied to the Police.
“Dota’t you think somebody is treat-
ing the police very mean?” asked a
citizen of a Light reporter today.
“How’s that?” queried the scribe.
“Why whoever issues them ammu-
nition certainly gave them blank car-
tridges. Look at the shooting they did
Wednesday night. They had blank
cartridges sure or somebody should
have been hit so it appears to me. It
couldn’t have been bad marksman-
ship.” ”
