Stories of the seriou. Characters OF
Trouble Between Prince Henry
~ and queen Wilhelmina. -

Amsterdam, Dec. 2.-Grave reports
continue to be circulated regarding the
differences between Queen Wilhelmina
and her husband, Prince Henry. The
story, however, that duel, resulting
therefrom, has been fought and that
a queens aide-de-camp, Maj. Van Tot,
was wounded, is absolutely denied by
Maj. Van Tots brother, who says the
aide-de-camp. is suffering from peri
tonitis. -
At the theater the biograph pictures
of the queen are tumultuously cheered
nightly, while those of Prince Henry
are loudly Kissed.

&, In 1862 the famous Hertfordshire
physician, Thomas Dimsdale, was sum.
Rmoned to st. Petersburg to vaccinate
the Empress Catherine II. He was in
the city less than a week, but SO sue
cessfully did he accomplish his task
that he was paid consideration Of
$4,000 in addition to life pension Of
$500 year. Another costly vaccinat-
ing operation was that performed a
few years ago by DR.. Butler upon six

''That the tendency must undermine the
sturdy independence OF large bodies Of
American citizens and may well be deemed
the most serious menace to the moral and
political welfare OF the country. The
time has come when our industries, manu-
featuring as we'll as agricultural, which
practically enjoy no protection for the
reason that their products are exported.
and because, whether. or not duties be
levied in their favor. no competing prod
ucts can be probably imported, should be
permitted to avail themselves of foreign
markets to the fullest extent, as they can
not do under existing restrictions. Highly
protected industries should no longer be
permitted to sell more cheaply to foreign
ers than to their own countrymen. Fit
and thorough relief can be had only by
amendment Of the present tariff act. But
will reduce, even If they do not altogether
remove, the unfair and oppressive burden
of the present system.

justice and generosity to allow her the
largest practicable liberty of commercial

a MUSICAL TREAT.
Large Crowds Listen to the Verdi
Concert Last Night.

The hotel lanaiS and grounds were
filled to overlooking last evening from
$50 to 1870 o'clock to listen to the Verdi
concert by the Territorial band. The
concert, under the direction of Band
master Berger, was indeed a musical
treat. All the selections were from
Verdis best compositions, among them
being the beautiful "Miserere" and the
famous Anvil Chorus song from IrTro-
vatore. The Incompatible prison song
from the opera was sung in the sweet
clear soprano of Miss Alapai, to the
soft accompaniment of the flute and
other reed instruments. The quartet
and finale from Rigoletto were also per-
fectly rendered, and the entire program
was a credit to Honolulu's musical tall
ent
