MAY BE THE PRESIDENT. Has Already Planned Five Up- risings, and If Latest Fails Will Start Another, From an obscure echemer of echemes And deviser of plots, plodding with little note through strange underground channels, there suddenly leapa into the Umelight of all nations one narrow- shouldered, slant-eyed little man, Dr. Sun Yat Sen—the man who may be the first President of the Republic of China. Sun Yat Sen ts now nolsclessiy pu sutng his ways that ere dark and his arts that are not vain in this city. There ts a price of $500,000 on his head, And the loyal subject of the Empire who would suddenly acquire that handsome fortune need only take it upon himself to erase Sun Yat Sen from the mundane map. There may be a lot of loyal sub+ Jeots of the Emperor who dust the car- pets and pavements of men with their eyebrows when the Mystic Dragon te mentioned, but none of them has got in the running for the extinction of the Little Doctor, With infinite calm and amazing cunning, it is sald, he goes stolidly on in directing the forces of the revolution on their march to the royal gates of Peking, HB 18 BUSY NOW WITH YOUNG CHINA ASSOCIATION HER Dr. Sen slipped into town Wednesday, sllding up from Washington, where he had been putting himself in the way of getting secret cable advices trom China. Yesterday and to-day the bespectacled Uttle brown man was flitting shadow- wise between the rooms of the Young China Association at No. 12 Mott street and his temporary habitat, which, it seems, is known only to himself and je apt to vary with ¢he passing mo- ments. He js about as easy to inter- view as a humming-bird and almost as swift In his movements, Undersized, thin and stoop-shouldered, he has sharply defined features and! flashing little narrow eyes whioh reveal | dynamic nervous vitality. He is thor-| oughly Europeanized as to clothes and | an absence of pigtail, and his diction in that of an English scholar, rapid and fluent. Bun Yat Sen, graduate of an En Meh university, skilled in the arts of medicine, a profound scholar and an arch-plotter for the freedvm of his 600,000,000 fellow coantrymen and counywomen, did not give birth to the republican {dea in China, but he has done more than any other one man of his race to foster that idea and nurse it until it burst from a flaming bud into a revolution that th shaken the civilized world, A BOTHERSOME SUBJECT FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. For fifteen years Sun Yat Sen has been @ thorn in the flesh of the, relg ing dynasty in China, Begioning his revolutionary campaigna es an annoy- ing invistble gadfly, he suddenly de- veloped paipable bulk and a mortal sting, and for the last several years the Government of China has spread broadcast among the subjects of the Empire that {t was worth 1,000,000 tacls to the Crown te lay its hands upon the ‘elusive Ben. To-day that very same Government may be inclined to raiso the ante to one, two, or prob- ably five million dollars, but thie fact does not in the least harass the mental placidity of Dr, Sen. At this moment he 1s still plodding, raising | the wind for his revolution, cabling ‘to his agents in China, and spreading the word among his people in this country that the throne of China te Awindjing in the dust and that there will soon rise wibhin the walls of Peking the capitol of the new republic. This sane scholarly little doctor ts alleged to have fyrnished the sinews lof war for the present revolution, | sending more than $200,000 from this country within the past year.

WAS HUSTLED ONCE INTO THE CHINESE EMBASSY. The Manchu dynasty had got Dr. Sun's number, in a way of speaking, and his name wae written in deep red into the black books of the Emperor. In the year following he barely missed disaster when he was plucked from the streets of London and hustled within the walls of the Chinese Embassy. Luckily for Sun some of his friends witnessed the kidnapping and an appeal was.made to the British Government to rescue him. Otherwise it 1s reasonable to assume Dr, Sun might have gone back to China in a box and been dissected in Peking for the purpose of decorating a royal fence. he London newspapers raised a great fuss over the capture of Sun Yat Sen, as the wily revolutionist had shortly before sworn allegiance to the British Empire. The Foreign Office rushed the varriers of the Chinese Embassy and enatched Sun back into the suniigit. Since then he has led more or less of a charmed life, making occastonal swift visits to China, living in the Singapore Straits Settlements, travelling number- Jean mileg and never having so much as @ finger laid upon his shoulder in the sum for his capture. early in the last decade that Dr. Sun began to identify himself with the Chinese Empire Reform Assocation, handsome It w | of which the brillant Kang Yu Wel was the head.

After the Boxer troubles, however, they were cast out into the, cold and since then have been identified with the revolutionary movement. LEARNED A _ LESSON FROM BOXER UPRISING. The Boxer troubles proved a vast ald to the would-be authors of a Ohinese Republic, for it was demonstrated dur- ing that tempestuous period that It re- quired only about 4,000 troops to grip the Empire by the throat and choke It into reason. Taking this as @ premise for further argument Dr, Sun began to reach about for the ways and means to put on foot a little revolutionary army of 20,000 men. Jt was no small problem, for it required a large outlay of mone; From what private sources Sun Yat Sen got all the large sume of money he has provided for the revolution only he has trekked every civilized country in collecting. le got enough to start a perfectly good Httle revolution in 1908 and stocked Vessels wore fitted out in Japan and got away nicely across the China Sea, olutionary arms confiscated.
