JACK DAY'S LAST APPEAL
If Fislit la Allowed, Net Proceeds
Leong Kal Chen and Pott Cb.ee, Of
ficers of Revolutionary So'cletj-,
Seek to Restore Kirans Su.
to Full Resnl Porrer.
"With no smaller a task than to effect
the political and intellectual revolution of
the Chinese Empire, two officers of the
Kwang Su Reform Society reached Port
land last evening. They came to interest
the city's Chinese residents in the great
work. Driven from their native land to
avoid violent death at the hands of the
relentless Dowager Empress, whom they
are seeking to overthrow, the two almond
eyed, reformers are touring the Coast,
arousing the interest of the Chinese here,
where they are at liberty to advocate the
regeneration of their race without peril
of their lives. They are two of several
hundred native Chinamen who have
caught the modern spirit and feel it is
high time their race was entering into
the processes of evolution.
They are no less personages than Leong
Kal Cheu and Pow Chee, vice-president
and secretary of the society, and both are
exceptional Chinese, being well educated,
polished of manner and enthusiastic They
disavow any intention of precipitating
war. They seek to bring about the regen
eration by subtler processes. They wish
to impress all natives of the dormant
empire with the necessity of enlighten
ment and advancement, and declare they
will not cease their labors until the light
of the better civilization spreads through
out their country, and a great Chinese
renaissance has been effected.
This is the ultimate aim of the society,
they explain, but as a first step they must
get the Empress Dowager from the throne
and, the impotent Emperor, Kwang Su,
in her place. Kwang Su, as will be re
membered, quit the throne some five years
ago under the not gentle persuasions of
the Dowager and her associates in in
trigue. Since then Kwang has remained
in Pekin under watch though not In harsh
confinement, while those in power smiled
mysteriously and knowingly at his claims
and those of his followers, to the throne.
Of the latter, some few have lost their
heads, and that Leong Kal Cheu and Pow
Chee are not separated from their own
heads is no fault of the Dowager's, as
she ordered both decapitated. Ko doubt
it might have been a point in her favor
had her order been carried out, for the
two men say they will devote their lives
to the restoration of the dethroned Em
peror, which will clear tho way for the
advancement of the nation. They an
ticipated the royal head-sllcer by voyaging
to Japan and thence to America, while
the royal executioner was supposedly In
the courtyard grinding his ax.
Last night the two men addressed a
large gathering of Chinamen. Their ap
pearance was made the occasion of a
banquet in the Chinese quarter at a neatly
appointed Oriental restaurant on 'Second
street. Here fully GO sons of the Flowery
Kingdom sat until the early hours of the
morning listening to the speakers, ex
changing reminiscences of younger days
and drinking to the health of the new
China as optimistically described by their
guests. Could the two earnest little men
make as good an impression on the en
tire people of China as upon the denizens
of Portland's Chinese quarter, there
would be little doubt of the final success
of their mammoth project.
The banquet was a strangely odd if not
picturesque affair. It was Oriental with
an Intermingling of American customs.
Leong Kal Cheu particularly exhibited a
famillarty with American habits. He ap
peared at the banquet attired in a Prince
Albert and silk hat and smoked long
blaok cigars when not otherwise occu
pied. In addressing the gathering in the
outlandish gibber of China he used the
inflections of an American minister of the
old school, and one from outside, hearing
merely the voice, might have imagined
a revival meeting was In progress. His
remarks were frequently interrupted by
vigorous applause and hand-clapping from
his queued audience.
Pow Chee appears to have the most In
teresting personality. He was neatly
dressed in American attire, but without
any of Cheu's affectation. He speaks
English fluently and is well informed on
current events. He says he will devote
all his enthusiasm and mental energy to
the advancement of his country and will
not rest until his efforts are rewarded.
Should he get the dethroned Emperor
back in the coveted seat Chee will be
one of his Ministers. Cheu will get a
like reward. This may or may not be
one of the motives of their work. They
say, it is not that they are devoting their
lives to a good cause and not to fulfill
their personal political ambitions.
"Five years ago this movement started,"
said Chee. "We started it in Pekin when
the Emperor's power was usurped by the
Dowager. The work has been steadily
going on. Now we have more than 100
branches in four continents Asia, Africa,
Australia and America, and there are
4,000.000 of our people actively interested'
"When you are powerful enough will
you start a revolution against the
Dowager?" was asked.
"No," replied Chee, "that will not be
necessary. In a few years we will be so
powerful that we can demand what we
want and the Dowager will not dare to
refuse. It is the law of nature, of evolu
tion, and an absolute empire cannot stand
in the way of such a force."
"But how will you gain your foothold
in China?"
"In four months we will return there.
Others -will go with us. "We will explain
the new doctrine to the people. They will
listen to us; we will win them over, for
the Chinese people are not stupid. All
they lack Is the advantages of education.
The light has been kept from them. With
proper facilities for educating the rising
generation the China of the future will
be powerful- and will command the re
spect rather than the pity of the civilized
world.'!
"But the Dowager and her royal exe
cutionerswhat will they be doing all this
time?"
Chee shrugged his shoulders at this
question. "We have got to take those
chances," he answered. "They may kill
some of us, but they cannot kill us all.
Our cause is good and it will live. They
will not get my head until I have made
an impression, for I know the safe places
to go and have friends who will help me
hide. I will go to China In four months
to begin my work there."
The two Chinese will remain In Portland
for about 10 days holding semi-weekly
meetings in the Chinese quarter. They
held forth last at Seattle and will go
from here direct to San Francisco, where
'they will spend two or three months In
Chinatown.

Manager Jack Day, of the Pastime

theMunicipal Association officers and make
a final appeal to them to have them allow
the boxing contest between Herrera and
McClelland pulled off. Both the club and
the managers of the two boxers have
spent several hundred dollars in prepara

"Without due preparation the Portland
Ministerial Association declined to discuss
the present municipal situation yesterday
morning. Notices had been published
that the topic for the day would be:
CHINESE REFORMER VISITS PORTLAND
LEONG KAI CHEU.
IS IN FIFTH PLACE.
Portland Y. 31. C. A. Makes Favor
able Record In Educational "Work.
Fifth in the United States Is the mark
of the Portland T. M. C. A. in regard to
its educational work, according to the
statistics read by the educational secre
tary. C L. Chase, at an institute of asso
ciation workers at the Portland Sani
tarium yesterday afternoon. Mr. Chase
then told In detail of his work.
A. S. Allen, general secretary, of the
actual expenses of the club will be turned
over to the committee for charitable dis
tribution. If the committee refuses to allow the
contest, either Seattle or Anaconda,
Mont., will get the mill. Telegrams were
received yesterday from both places
agreeing to have the two boxers meet.
The Mont Haggln Club, of Anaconda,
wired Biddy BUjhop last evening that they
would be glad to have the match, and
would make any date whicn would suit
the managers of the two boys. Seattle
has the Rufo Turner-Selger battle, which
Is scheduled for Friday night. The Seattle
Club Is willing to take on the Herrera
McClelland match some time later In the
month. To which city the match will bei
transferred will depend upon the out
come of the meeting between Manager
Day and the Municipal Committee.
M. E. Mulvey, the Sale Lake saloon
keeper, called at The Oregonlan office
yesterday afternoon to have his say about
his mlx-up with Biddy Bishop, manager
for Herrera. Mulvey says that he took
no hand in stopping the Herrera-McClel-land
match, but he declares that ho stood
ready to do so, in case the authorities did
not. Said Mulvey:
"I have sworn to follow Bishop and, If
possible, to stop every boxing contest that
he schedules. I have been roundly scored
for that Downey-Herrera battle which
was pulled off lif Salt Lake. Bishop knew
that Downey was a fake. I have proof,
a letter from a trainer who was in
Downey's stable, that Downey had been
sent to my city by Bishop for the purpose
of being matched against Herrera. Bishop
denies that he knew Downey was not the
Brooklyn man of that name, bjit I can
prove that he did. This same faker,
Downey, was the fellow that Bishop
matched Toby Irwin against In Pendleton
a year ago. Fred T. Merrill, of your city,
was the referee, and the deal was so raw
that he quit the ring In disgust. The Mar
shal took Merrill's word that the fight
was 'framed,' and Downey was arrested.
Downey fought under the name of Jim
Popp, and said he came from Canada.
The letter which the referee of the Her-rera-Downey
fight received after the fluke
fight at Salt Lake was signed by Theo
dore "Van Busklrk. The fake fight brought
down on my head the wrath of the whole
sporting fraternity, and I propose to get
even if I can by making Bishop be good
and quirt the boxing game."
Mulvey had also a letter from Toby
Irwin stating that he did not wish to be
matched In Salt Lake and bo the first to
box there after the Downey affair. Ifwin
also stated that Bishop knew who
Downey was.
Bishop and Mulvey got .together last
night and held a long discussion over the
affair. Bishop maintained to the end that
he did not know who Downey was. He
also denied that It was Downey who
fought Irwin at Pendleton. Bishop de
clares that the Salt Lake sports are try
ing to make him a scapegoat for their
own oversight and carelessness.

the Taylor-Street Methodist Church, im

"I do not think this association should
discuss so .weighty a matter without more
preparation; this is something of the
greatest Importance, and we should pro
ceed carefully."
The sentiments of Dr. Talbott were gen
erally agreed with, and it seemed as
though the subject was to .be dropped.
But Rev. Edgar P. Hill. D.D., of the
First Presbyterian Church, was sitting
quietly in the background, and he at once
tried to lift- the wet blanket which was
being thrown over the prospective dis
cussion.
All Ought to Be Red Hot.
"It seems to me that if the members of
this association are not well enough pre
pared to be redhot upon this subject, they
cannot expect the public to take very
much Interest in It, said he.
There was a murmur of approval as Dr.
Hill continued:
"As long as the subject was announced
in the papers I do not see how we can let
the matter drop entirely. If we did so
our intentions might easily be miscon
strued."

Exempt Firemen's Association Holds
Its Annual aiectinfr.
At the annual meeting of the exempt
Firemen's Association held last "night at
the rooms of the society In the City Hall,
considerable discussion was indulged in
as to the best means to excite renewed
Interest In the organization, and to cause
a better attendance at meetings.
Those present were: Peter Taylor, R. B.
Knapp, Thomas A. Jordan, "W. W.
Sweeney, John Kelly, John Smith, "William
A. Hart, George S. "Wilson, Joseph "Web
ber, George T. Myers and Frank Harring
ton. The total membership numbers only
about 30 at tho present time and It was
the concensus of opinion that there ought
to be a better showing at the annual gath
ering, and that members who do not pay
their dues and fines should not be allowed
to- take part in the annual banquet.
A motion by Secretary R. M. Donovan
that instead of expending J100 to J125 for
a banquet, that about $60 be used , to lay
a cement walk around the firemen's plat
in the cemetery received no second. Those
present evidently thought there was
ample money on hand for both purposes.
W. W. Sweeney, of the cemetery com
mittee, reported that several graves had
been attended to and spoke of other mat
ters of a like nature.
Officers for the year were elected as
follows, Peter Taylor, president; Byron
Z. Holmes, vice-president; R. M. Donovan,
secretary; B. Labbe and George Lang
ford, trustees; auditing committee, A. "W.
Wltherell, T. A. Jordan, John Kelly;
cemetery committee, TV. TV. Sweeney, John
Barry, B. Labbe; Investigation committee,
Robert Holman, Harry Morgan and TV. TV.
Sweeney. Ladd and Tilton were appoint
ed treasurers.
President Taylor stated that a number
of members had paid dues and fines for
years, and others had paid neither dues
nor fines. They should be collected or
abolished altogether, he said.
The present system is to impose a fine
of 25 cents on every member who falls
to attend a meeting. The secretary re
ported some recent collections. The sub
ject provoked considerable argument.
President Taylor said the better way was
to do away with fine altogether and
charge dues of $1 per quarter. Mr. Taylor
afterwards cut the amount down to 51
per year.
George T. Myers said the members who
dd not pay ought to be expelled.
Frank Harrington took a somewhat dif
ferent view of things, and wanted to
know if this wpuld include members who
are out of the city.
Thomas A. Jordan read the bylaws to
the effect that a change In dues could only
be finally adopted at the next annual
meeting. A motion to make tho dues $1
per annum, the matter to be voted on
again one year hence, was adopted.
Mr. Taylor said he observed that the
members all came to the annual banquet
and he thought members in arrears
should not be accorded the privilege.
Joseph TVebber voiced the sentiment that
members who took no interest in the as
sociation ought to be dropped.
R. B. Knapp asked for the reading of
tho constitution regarding suspensions
and expulsions and stated that it ought
to bo put in force.
George T. Myers was still more pro
nounced and moved that members who
have not paid fines for two years be ex
pelled. This was amended to read: "If
they don't' pay up after having been
notified by tho secretary," and was
passed.
Frank Harrington wanted to know If
this included members who are out of the
city, and was informed that it included
everybody.
TV. A. Hart smoothed things over by
calling attention to a section of the by
laws stating that members can be ex
cused from the payment of fines by a two
thirds vote.
The members will be allowed a liberal
time to liquidate, and no doubt all will
come to the front.
The Exempt Firemen's Association is
in a prosperous condition, having money
and property amounting to about ?5000.
ROAD TO LEWISTON.
O. R. & X. May Build on Route Sur
veyed Years Ago.
SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 7. One hun
dred miles of railroad that will tap one
of the richest districts of its size in the
"West; the construction of the road over
the old lines mapped out long ago, car
rying out one of the plans for the devel
opment of the country formulated in the
minds of railroad officials many years
ago; the long-lookedfor railroad into the
famous Nez Perce country.
These are some of the things planned
for the future, it is stated, by the O. R. &
NS Railroad. Rumor Is current nmoiigt
the O. R. & N. officials to tne cnect mat
such a move Is contemplated by that
company. And it Is also stated that the
work may be commenced on the new line
within the year.
Many years ago the company started to
run a road from Riparia, Wash., to Lew
iston, Idaho. The move was started to
the extent that the grading between these
two points was begun. For some reason
the company ceased operations on the
railroad and started a boat line up the
Snake River. At the time the work ceased
It appeared thct the Northern Pacific, In
, conjunction with the O. R. & N., was
putting In a joint road, the right of way
being owned by the latter company, while
the Northern Pacific was to do the con
struction work. A misunderstanding arose
and the work ceased abruptly. Now the
plan seems to be for the O. R. & N. alone
to put the road in, using Its right of
way and the old grade.
