TRIAL FOR DISMISSED MAN
Reform Movement Greatly Aided by
Recent Action, Says Banished
Diplomat, and Foreign Inter
ference Not Desired.
PENANG. Straits Settlement. Jan. 8.
In an interview here today Kane Yu Wei.
tr.a well-known Chinese reformer who
was eipelled from Pekln after the coup
d'etat of IS, declared that Yuan Shi Kai
lad been dismissed from bis high posi
tion s member of the grand council of
the Chinese Empire because he was ln
otrumcntal in the death of the late Em
peror, and that he probably would be
placed on trial lor his connection with
the matter.
The result of this trial will convince
foreigners hat Yuan Shi Kai Instituted
the murder of the lata Emperor." Karg
Yu Wt declared. "His dismissal will
work for the good of the constitutional
party; the constitution will no longer be
delayed. I rppose foreign intervention
In favor of Yuan Shal'Kal; that matter
Is one for China to settle alone. The
regent, Prirce Chul, controls the army
and Is Introducing- reforms."
Since his expulsion from Pekln ten
years afro Kar.g Yu Wei has been in
strumental in directing the reform move
ment In the Empire from various places
outside the country.
He Is at present living in concealment
In Penang. and very few people are able
to see him. It is necessary to be vouched
for by friends before access to him can
be obtained. It Is Impossible to obtain
confirmation of the expectation that
Xtn( Yu Wei will now return to Pekln.
roWKKS NOT TO INTERFERE
No Action by Diplomat Tang
Shao YI to Be Recalled.
PEKIN. Jan. 8. Tang Shao YL who Is
at present in Washington on a special
diplomatic mission from the Chinese Gov
ernment, has been recalled to Pekin. He
will return by Europe, leaving Washing
ton immediately.
The American and British Ministers
here have abandoned their project to
unite the various powers In a project
against disturbing the present policy of
tn Chinese Government. which Is
thought to have been initiated In the dis
missal from office last week of Yuan
Shi Kai. a member of the Grand Coun
cil, and this phase of the question Is now
regarded at an end. The mission of Tang
Shao Yl has been enormously expressive,
and In some quarters here his summary
recall is regarded as giving color to the
reports that charges of extravagance
have been lodged against Yuan Shi KaL
Tang Shao Yi started on his mission
last Kali, under the auspices and with
the approval of Yuan Shi KaL
Special Ambassador GoinR.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1 Ambassador
Tsng has addressed a note to Secretary
Root, asking for a farewell audience and
stating that he expects to sail for Eu
