FOR IRE CHIRKS
Pacific Coast Chinamen Are Helping
Dr. Sun Yat Sen, Who Had
Price On His Head.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 19.—All up
and down the Pacific coast plans are
said to be ripening in the various
oriental colonies for another revolu
tion in China. The same movement
is being pushed elsewhere through
out the country, but it is on the coast
that *t has made the greatest pro
gress. The campaign is said to be
under the general direction of Dr. Dr.
Sun Yat Sen, wko was first provis
ional president of the present re
public and was mainly responsible
for the revolution which overthrew
the Manchus. Sun is in exile in Ja
pan and President Yuan Shi-kai is
reported to have offered 91,000,000
for his head.
In the United States the agitating
is being done by Y. P. Hsieh, for
whom, dead or alive, Yuan is under
stood to have offered $100,000. Hsieh
has toured the country and professes
to have found strong financial back
ing. He is authority for the state
ment that the revolt is already sim
mering in central China and may be
expected to break out in full violence
within the next few months.
The agitators charge Yuan with
having undone all the work of the
revolution and established a despot
ism of his own undejJ the name of a
republic. Some of them give him
credit for being a sincere believer in
a despotic form of government for
China but they say they do not pro
pose to submit to it merely because
he is sincere in thinking it desirable.
