IT KWONG SUEY
LOST HIS THRONE.
Stories Brought by the Belgic of Chi
nese Emperor and His Troubles with
the Dowager Empress.

The passengers by the Belgic yes
terday brought all the gossip current
in China and Japan when the steamer
left there, concerning the situation in
China and the coup d'etat of the dow
ager empress.
One of the most startling pieces OF
intelligence is that at the time the
emperor appeared in the presence of
the dowager empress i'm European
clothing, the innovation which it has
been supposed preClpitated his down
fall, he also gave evidence of far
more radical innovation. This was
nothing more nor less than the fact
that he had cut off his cue. II was
really this, rather than the European
clothes, that sealed his doom. But it
was such inconccivable and incredible
contempt for custom and usage. that
while it determined the empress to
retake power into her own hands. it
also determined her that such sacri-
lege should not become known, fear
ing that the report of it would not he
believed. and would be taken as a
false report put forth to prejudice the
emperor and cover designs against
him.
The story is given on the authority
of Chinese of Mandarin class, who
took passage on the Belgic at Hong
kong. He is a partisan of the emper-
or, and in leaving China was doing so
practically as refugee. He is a
graduate of Harvard, and speaks Eng
lish fiuently. When he came aboard
the Belgic he was dressed as a Man
DARN and wore his cue. At Kobe he
went ashore announcing his intention
of going by rail to Yokohama. At the
port he returned to the Belgic, but
transformed. His Mandarin costume
was gone, and so was his cue In their
place he wore conventional English
travelling suit of gray and his hair in
European style. Despairing of the re-
form and regeneration of China. for
which he had worked, he had deter
mined to thoroughly eXpatriate him
self. He was booked on the Belgic as
| +. c. Yen.
There are not wanting among The
| foreign residents of the Orient those
who take the part of the dowager em-
| press. These say that she is of right
| the real sovereign of China; that the
emperor, her nephew, was made en-
peror solely through her favor, and
that even admitting the desirability
| of the reforms he proposes, there is n
! strong element of ingratitude in his
radical efforts to work changes in di-
rections and ways so dstasteful and
| disquieting to her.

DINNER 70 THE MNSBOYS.GAPTURE OF THE ABBY.
SHE LANDED A LOT OF ARMS
FOR AGUINALDO.
The Event That Gave Rise to the Story
of Aguinaldo's Fleet--McCulloch
Made the Capture.

The American Soldier, an American
paper published in Manila, gives the
following account of the capture,
which gave rise through the meager
cable. reports to the story that Agui-
naldo's fleet had been captured.
The L. S. S. McCulloch on the 24th
inst. captured the filibustering stea-
mer Abby, at Batangas Bay, Me dora
Island.
The vessel left Macao, China, on the
10th inst, with arms and munitions
of war for Aguinaldo, clearing under
the American flag.
The vessels was towed by the Nc
Culloch to Cavite, where she was turn
ed over to Admiral Dewey by Captain
c. l.. Hooper.
The members of the prize crew were
Frank Clendenning, Edward Burwell,
Harry Thompson and William Sutton.
Dewey had hoped to capture the
cargo of arms as well as the vessel but
was misinformed by his agents in
China as to when she would leave Ma
Gao. When the McCulloch overhauled
her the arms she carried. said to be
5000 rifles and corresponding amount
of ammunition, had been landed. The
crew which brought her to Betangas
bay had been discharged and a new
crew who knew nothing of her char
acter or the cargo she carried had
been substituted. Aguinaldo has de
manded the return of the Abby, but
Dewey has refused to return it.

THE STARS THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION.
Big Event of the Boys Year-The
Star Furnishes Dinner and Fish
horns-The Boys Do the Rest.

Thanksgiving day will fall on the
gath of this month. 1T is day eager
ly looked for by The Star newsboys;
it is a day on which they are the
guests of this paper and are dined and
feasted and entertained in a generous
manner. The custom was started two
years ago by The Star. The boys lik-
ed the idea and they still like it, 1t is
the sole topic of conversation among
them. They would like to have
Thanksgiving Day about once a
month.
The Star can think of no better way
to observe Thanksgiving Day than to
make same hearts happy; it is good
way to show appreciation for general
welfare and prosperity. Along with
well conducted enterprises, The Star
has had most successful year. The
newsboys have contributed their
share towards this success. They are
entitled to reward and they will re-
ceive one.
About fifty boys sell The Star.
Among them are some mighty bright
youngsters. Some of them will be
successful business men in the future.
They are all on the alert for business
and several of them earn from one dol
lar to two dollars each day. They are
all wage earners, and a number of
homes are made happier and more
comfortable by the efforts of these
boys. A number of people declare
that the newsboys are nuisance; il
is good thing that the general pub
lie does not share this belief; if they
did the boys would be without a bus
mess and some homes would feel
Reenly the loss of the boys support.
The newsboys' dinner will be car.
ried out on the usual lines; it will
take place at Loves bakery. The lit
tie street merchants will have a good
dinner; they will have turkey and
roast pig, with the usual side dishes;
they will have mince pie and all kinds
of soda and ginger ale; every boy viii
be given box of candy. After the
dinner, each boy will be supplied will
fish horn; they will then board
big omnibus and be taken to witness
the football game. 1t will be a glo
rious day for the boys.

NEW Fertilizer COMPANY
IT UNlTES THREE BIG SUGAR
AGENCIES.
A. f. Cookies Plant Will be Purchased
and Enlarged-Improved Methods
and High Grade Goods the Policy.

The Hawaiian Fertilizer Company
is about to be Incorporated.
1t proposes to take the present fer
tilizer bus .ess of A. f. Cooke, enlarge
the capacity, and enter upon the man.
ufacture of high grade fertilizers on
the most extensive scale. The pro-
posed capitalization is 100000, which
has already been subscribed. But
there are so many further applications
for stock that it is possible the capi-
tai may be increased to $250,000.
The enterprise has been promoted
by George X. Carter. The interests
which have been interested in it are
the three big houses of Brewer d Co.,
Castle q Cooke and Alexander
Baldwin. The policy of the enterprise
will be the manufacture of fertilizers
of the highest grade, the stockholders
of the concern expecting to get their
profits largely through the benefits
of high grade fertilizers on the planta-
tions they represent, rather than
through big dividends on the Fertiliz-
er Company stock. At the same time
all other sugar planters will be treat
ed fairly, and the prospectus of the
new concern figures out dividend Of
ten per cent on very conservative esti-
mates. These estimates do not in
clude the entire amount of fertilizers
used on the plantations represented
by the three big houses which are be-
hind the company. Should all this
trade be secured the present contem-
plated extent of the works will have
to be enlarged and the business and
&c hn rnG m M Al n INr n.
creased.
Mr.. Cookies plant is to be purchased
at an appraised valuation and paid
for in stock of the new company up
to $4,000, the balance in cash. Rail
road facilities will be secured to the
site of the factory. Raw material will
be purchased in cargo lots, and if nee
essary vessels will be chartered to
bring it here.
1t is one of the ideas of the promot-
ers and those interested in the new
company, that the extent of their SUI
gar planting interests require that
they shall be III position TO control
in a measure at least the quality and
standard of the fertilizers of which
they use such large quantities. To
keep up the quality rather than to
lower prices will be their object. The
purchase of Mr.. Cookies establishment
already in operation will enable the
new company to commence success
full business at once. The improve
ment and enlargement of the plant
will give it an establishment of the
most approved methods and design. II
arrangements for acids can be made
with the Pacific Fertilizer and GuanC
Company for supply of acids, plant
for that department of manufacture
will not be put up at present. Other
wise it will.
Mr.. Cooke will probably be the man
ager of the new company for a year
but as he is desirous of retiring from
so active business, probably not any
longer.
The officers of the company have
not been chosen yet. But in view o
the interests involved they will prob
ably include j. b. Atherton, II. p
Baldwin, and C. Mr. Cooke.

Editor Star: You will please give
us space to extend our thanks to the

THE NEW ORPHEUM.
Mr.. Desl<y's Cheap Show Plan Being
Rushed to Completion.

n dozen carpenters are at work on
the new Orpheum theater near the
middle of the block directly in front
of the Chinese church on Fort street
The walls are going up very fast and
the building will be complete in about
week. The house will not be very
large, but will probably be sufficient
to accommodate the crowds that may
be expected to frequent it regularly.
Considerable attention will be Civ
en- to the stage arrangement. 1t will
extend the breath of the house and it
will be equipped in a modern style.
The floor will be sloping so as to af-
ford a perfect view from all parts of
the building. In supplying the Or
pheum, Mr.. Deslly's idea is to give to
Honolulu a cheap show found so pop
ular in coast cities. The bad features
of such places over there will be elm
mated however.
A section of the American Comedy
Company under James Post will open
the Orpheum.
