FATHER ANDREW DIES
At CATHOLIC MISSION

| Reverend Father Andrew Burgerman
died the night before last at the Cath
Ole Mission of this city from old age
and a complication of diseases con
tracted during his long years of mis-
sion in the different islands of the Pa
cifc. Unable to render any service he
spent the last few years here in Homo
lulu and took to his bed only a month
Burgerman was burn in The Hague,
Holland, and entered the Congregation
of the Fathers of the Sacred Hearts in
1855. He was sent by his Superiors ia
France and for many years was project
in one of their colleges then in a flour
ishing condition. Ordained priest in
1864 he was sent as a missionary priest
to Tahiti remaining until the year 1873,
when he arrived in the islands and
occupied some posts in Molokai, Hawaii
and Maui. Broken down in health by
old age and infrmities he came from
Lahaina to Honolulu to take a well de-
served rest. His death was peaceful
as had been his whole life. He was
conscious until the last. When in the
outside districts he had quite a reputa-
ton as physician and rendered great |
services to the natives in that capacity. |
The funeral service was held yester-
day afternoon at clock from the |
Catholic Cathedral and the interment |
took place in the Catholic cemetery on
King street, where his body now rests
IN peace in the common plot of his
eolaborers in the field of the Lord.
May his soul rest in peace

.DR. SUN WOULD
CHANGE DYNASTY

PEKING, August 25.-It is believed
tonight that Yuan Shin Kai is about to
relinquish his vice-royalty of Chi Ii for
the purpose of becoming the head of
the War Department. His action is
said to be due to the realization of
the central government that it's posi-
ton is weaker than ever before, and
was also prompted by the reported
maladministration of China's modern
army by fish Liang, the Minister of
War, whose methods have resulted in
the discomfort of $4,000 soldiers whose
pay is in arrears.
Yuan Shih Kai, when urged to as
sumo office in the central government,
before consenting to accept named the
fulfllment of certain changes relating
to the affairs of the War Department
as condition.
The Dowager Empress has sum-
moned Chang Chih Tung and Yuan
Shin Kai to consider the alarming
growth of anti-Manchu sentiment.
Several viceroys and governors have
been memoralizing the throne to ex-
plain the cause of such sentiment. The
growing popular enmity is ascribed to
the failure of the Dowager's three
edicts in the past six years removing
the distinctions between Chinese ard
Manchus in intermarriage. abolishins
the partially shown to Manchus in
law, and preventing the favoritism
shown Manchus in appointments to Of
fee.
The murder Of the Manchu Governor
En- Ming by Chinese and DR.. Sun Vat
Sens captured correspondence have
greatly excited the court. The CORE
spondence of the reformer, DR.. Sun
Vat Sen, urged that China's undivided
duty was to exterminate Manchu
power. These revelations have dis /
posed the Dowager toward placing
Yuan Shin Kai at the head of all de-
lenses.

with Japan that the conference was
mot called at all. Then the U. s.
suggested q renewal OF the confer.

time, took a back seat as a matter Of
courtesy and allowed Russia to issue
the formal call. Now, just rs the
