Reform Movement Is On.

Housekeepers who have objected to the
length of the hairs found in the soup
will be pleased to learn that the hereto
fore Indispensable hirsute appendage, the
queue, is to go. The Chinese reform
movement is the death warrant and Kong
kai Tseu, the eminent reformer now in
Hilo, is to be the Lord High EXecutioner.
Since his arrival here week ago there
has been number of meetings held by
Chinese who are interested in the move
ment. Eight have already had their
queues cut off and hundreds more will
follow suit as soon as the shock wears
off. The cutting off of the queue is an
evidence that the Chinese so shorn is
opposed to the present government and
in favor of the Emperor who was de
throned about nine months ago.
For more than 200 years the Chiaese
have worn their hair in the fashion best
known here. In China, except among
the cOolie class, the queue is worn down
the back. A prominent Chinese in Hilo
remarked yesterday that the queue was
of particular use and it required a
great deal of time every day to comb il
ana put it in shape. For that reason, il
no other, the Chinese should be willing
to dispense with it.
