Ever since Minister Wu left his flowery kingdom for a trip to the vari ous countries of the world on an expe dition to study parliamentary condi tions, the members of the reform asso ciation in all parts of the world have been anxiously watching his move ments, as his report may mean life or death to them. It is rumored by high authority that the empress dowager will abide strictly by Wu's decision, and now the report has been received that It is highly probable a favorable re port will be made. Wu left the flowery kingdom several months ago. He is now visiting among the European powers and Is learning the Intricacies of self government. He will return to his native country before many months have past and then the report of the former minister to Amer ica will be read and a revolution or happy settlement of China's trouble will result. r" The mobilization of troops, for the purpose of drilling, now taking place In China is taken by local members of the Bong Wu Wui as an omen that the empreßs will be ready for any emergency. Hope for Peace On the other hand they have great hopes of peace and plenty for the land of the celestials. "China has been wrecked by revo lution and trouble for a long time and the rule of the 'old woman' has been a hard one," said a prominent member of the Los Angeles reform society yes terday, in discussing the situation. "We have been held back for hun dreds of years, while western civiliza tion was putting younger nations far ahead of us, and this setback has to a great extent been due to the terrible superstition of the Chinese regarding the digging of a hole In the ground. "Of course I only cite this as one Instance of their many superstitions, but there are In China today millions of dollars' worth of first class minerals, waiting to be taken out of the ground as soon as some enterprising company starts to work. But the natives ob ject. "They have been carefully schooled to fear an opening in the ground. If a shaft was sunk in the neighborhood of a Chlneman's garden, home or truck patch, he would appeal to the priests of the neighborhood. There would be trouble immediately. The case might be taken to the higher courts or left to the tender mercies of the people of the neighborhood, and in either case the engineer who sunk the shaft would be lucky to escape with his life. "This has been one of the great draw backs of our country. The 'old woman,' fearing the advance of civilization, holding on with a grim grip to every vestige of her power, watching every move of the westerner with suspicion and hate and has managed to instil her spirit Into the hearts of her priests and subjects, and as a result, China haa refused civilization. "We, the reform, have been working for relief from this condition. We have sent our young men to every part of the world to learn trades as the westerner teaches them: to study civil ization and modern improvements. Wo have no Idea of stirring up a bloody revolution. That is one of the points that at this time divides the Los An geles Chinatown. All the Chinese of this country believe in the reform movement. Half of the Los Angeles people believe that the best way to secure this reform Is to step in with fire and sword and wipe out the dow ager and her ministers with their false teachings from the face of the earth. That is where the true reformer differs with hla brother. Desire Peaceful Settlement "A peaceful nettlement is what we desire. We want a change in govern ment for the better. We do not de sire to deprive the 'old lady' of any of her powers and we do not desire her death. We want the people to have a chance to assist in their own govern ment. We want every man to have a fair trial without the terrible amount of perjured evidence that now marks all Chinese trials. We want the des potic rule of the priesthood to cease, and for this purpose we are educating and drilling our young men so that when this change is made we will have men at hand ready to step In and take hold of the government of the people and show them how to act as a civilized race. , "In this way the change could be easily made and China would come forth from Its humdrum existence and lethargy and take a place where it belongs, in the front ranks of the world's powers. "There is not one thought of self advancement in the hearts of any member of this society. We are all working with might and main for the love of our land, for her betterment and the betterment of the race. That is all there is to the movement. We are not quartering armed troops on your land and we are trying to con form to every rule and law of this people. America Their Friend "America has always been a friend in need to us. The exclusion law has been the one great thorn In the side of our people. We have wanted to deal with Americans. They are Christians and honest tradesmen, but what can we do? The coolie should not come into your country, but as for the rest, we feel hurt and grieved that a negro, a Rus sian, a Japanese, or any other kind of a person on the face of the wide world can come to this land without. trouble, while the most educated men of our country, our millionaires, our repre sentatives, all are herded together and treated in a manner which is a dis grace to any civilized country. "At present the reform movement in China la very strong. We have hundreds of temples there and they will make fine schools when things get started right. ; "Already in Hong Kong a temple has been disrobed of its furnishings. The finer {articles of furniture and adorn ment were sold, while the idols were burned in the streets. Reformers are now studying civilization in this temple. We are fully prepared. Everything: Is in readiness for an advance movement. All the , provinces are ready.
