WHAT FRAWLEY'S WILL PLAY IN
HONOLULU.
Recent Successes to be Presented for
the First Time in Honolulu-Season
Sale to Open November 2.

The Frawley company will open
their season at. the Hawaiian Opera
House on Thursday evening, Novem-
Der 18th. Twelve performances will
be given. After his Honolulu season
Mr.. Frawley takes his superb organi-
Zation to eastern cities for the first
time, San Francisco papers all admit
that the company is much stronger
this year than last and the class of
plays presented is much better also.
The repertoire embraces a number of
recent successes. all new to Honolulu
theater goers. There will be but one
repeat; it will be "The Ensign" This
play was produced last season and it
drew the banner house. The mana
cement feel that they are not making
a mistake in presenting it again.
The repertoire for the season is as
follows: November Is. "Christopher,
Jr.:" November 20, matinee. Rail
road of Love-" November 25. "Sue:"
November 27, matinee, "Three Hats"
November %, evening, "The Fatal
Card" November 30. "Don't Tell Her
Husband;" December .. "Social High
wayman:" December 4. matinee. "NIat-
rimonal Maze" December /. evening.
"The Ensign;" December 6, last per-
formance, "ETeld by the Enemy" The
company leaves for San Francisco on
December 9th.
The prices for the coming season
will be the same as last-orchestra
and dress circle, excepting the last
two rows. S1.50: last two rows i'm the
dress circle, S1.00. The first row in
the family circle will cost S1.50: all
other rows, $1.00. Gallery 80 cents.
In Difference to many requests the
season sale will open at Wall. Nichols
Co. on Tuesday, November .. The best
seats will be sold for $500 each: tick
cts good for the season of twelve per-
formances. The one dollar seats,
both upstairs and on the lower floor
will cost $1,000 for the season. The
season sale will be open but few
days, and then the regular sale will
begin.

DISSENSION AMONG ROYALISTS.
The Foreign Supporters viii Not Casl
Up Unless Represented.

There is disagreement among the
Royalists on account of the proposed
expedition to Washington.
The white sympathizers of the
cause have decided that they will not
back the scheme for tire reason that
they are not represented in the dele
cation, and so notified President Kau-
liza of the Hui Aloha Alma this morn
ing.
This means that the Hawaiians must
reconsider their action of last week
and add haole to the list, or they
will be left to raise the money them
selves for the expedition.
Mr.. kaulia was seen at . o'clock and
said that the original program would
not be changed. If the haoles would
not subscribe. the natives would
themselves raise the money, if they
had to mortgage their homes to do so.
The delegates feel quite sanguine as
to the result, believing firmly that
their constituents will find means
of getting together the sum required,
which is exactly S4500.

HOTEL IMPROVEMENTS.
Stock Company to be Formed-Rates
Well Advanced.

Colonel George Macfarlane sailed by
the S. S. Peru on Saturday evening,
for San Francisco. He expects to be
absent until the middle of December
During his absence he will purchase
many things for the equipment of the
hotel, and will also make some efforts
to stimulate tourist travel, which has
become rather slack of late. People
seem to have become possessed of the
idea that Hawaii is n hotbed for revo-
lutions, and that the prospect of war
with Japan is so great as to render
the Paradise of the Pacific an unsafe
place to live.
In an interview just prior to his
departure, Colonel Macfarlane stated
that as soon as the hotel is thorough
ly renovated a stoclI company will be
formed to run il. OF course the Mac
farlanes will own the majority >of the
stock. Manager James will come in
for n good share, and the remainder
will be divided among a few friends,
so that there will be no stock for sale.
The extent of the contemplated inn
provements will depend largely upon
the prospects of tourist travel The
hotel Is to be strictly hotel in every
sense of the word, and not a board
ing house. Rates have been advanced
very materially, but the service will
be improved in more than equal rates.
The beach hotel on the Bishop prop
erty will be private concern, owned
by the Macfarlanes, but will be run
in connection with the hotel.

PIONEER Of SUGAR FLEET
T1LLIE Z. STARBUCK WILL TAKE
FIRST '9s CARGO.
Major Portion of the New Crop to Go
Around the IIorn-The Starbuck in
a Big Hurricane.

The prediction made some time ago
that the greater portion, if not all of
the new sugar crop. will go around
the Horn next year, does not seem at
all unlikely to be realized. The Ameri-
can ship Tillie L. Starbucll, which ar
rived last Saturday from Australia,
with cargo of coal, has already been
chartered to carry the new crop, and
is under orders to remain in port here
until she gets the sugar She is but
the pioneer of the fleet which it is said
will he larger next year than the sea-
son just closed. Shipping men gem
orally laugh at the irea of rail compe-
tition. So long as they can afford to
carry freight to New York for s. per
ton they say that they fail to see Just
where the railroads can figure on the
proposition.
Captain Curtis did not receive his
orders until he arrived here on sat
urday. He had expected to go to
Portland, Or, as usual, to load wheat
