FASHION SET BY THE
PRINCE IS FOLLOWED
Off Go the PigtaiIs and On Go
the Frock Coats Among
the Local Chinese.

Since Prince Tsai 7 'ao, brother of
the Chinese prince who passed through
here recently while the city was under
martial law, was III Honolulu, the cut
ting of queues has been on the increase.
In advance of the coming OF Prince
Tsai I 40 came the announcement that
he was the one who had petItloned the
Imperial Throne to lift The embargo Of
queue cutting, permitting officials and
various other classes to dispense with
the old supeTstitlous badge OF serVltude.
The Throne granted the wish.
The first official Prince Tsai Tao met
without a queue was the local Chinese
consul, who had his queue shorn off the
day before the prince arrived. At the
same time he shocked his Chinese robes
of office and appeared the next morn
ing. in time to board the customs launch
to 90 out to meet the liner bearing the
prince in conventional occidental frock
coat and silk hat.
The consul set the fashion and queues
have been disappearing rapidly ever
since \ prominent Chinese stated yes
terdav that it is the middle class which
is taking advantage of the lifting OF
the ban by lifting their queues, al
though there are some older men who
are also getting rid of the old incuIn-
branee As for the young men, few
born in Honolulu and raised in the
schools. wear queues. Their fathers and
mothers are DESTROYS of seeing them on
a plane Of equality in general appear
anee, with their Anglo-Saxon brothers,
as far as possible. But queues are fast
disappearing and with them the old
time Chinese coats.
Queues were dropped in New York
on the festival of the full moon CHING
Pah Chow, president of the Chinese
Public Chamber Of Commerce and other
leading Chinese merchants, cut oft their
queues then ana thus severed the last
sign of superstition attached to their
persons.
1t IS reported that Prince Tsai I 40
cut Oft his queue while he was travelling
IN Europe 1t is understood that an
edict was recently issued directing the
enlisted men and officers Of the army to
dispense with queues.

Associated Press Morning servioe.J

ASSOCIATED Press Morning Service.J
DIES MONIES, <owa. May IL
Senators j. p. Dolliver and A. b.
Cummins addressed a great gather
ing here last night in the opening
meeting OF the political campaign for
the Republican insurgents, announc-
ing that the fight now on was to be
one of the progressive wing of the
party against the reactionaries. Both
speakers attacked the Payne Aldrich
tariff as a scheme of legalized rob
berry by the manufacturers against
the country.
Senator Dolliver made no personal
attack against the President, but scor.
ed the Presidents associates and his
closest advisers numerically He
said that Taft was a good man, but
one who did not know how to handle
the men he had around him, who
knew exactly what they wanted and
how to manipulate affairs and secure
legislation to get it.
Senator Aldrich he referred to as a
man allied to and bound up with trusts
He was the senatorial representa-
tive, declared the speaker, of the Gug-
genheims, of Thomas F. Ryan, of Paul
Morton, of the mammoth trust that
had secured the monopoly of the pro-
duction of rubber manufactures in the
country, whose charter allowed them
to secure the monopoly of the coal
lands of Alaska and allowed them to
go into any industry that they might
desire to and force out competition.
Both speakers announced that the
insurgents in the House and Senate
would never yield, but would fight
until they had forced the Republican
party control out of the hands into
which it had drifted during the past
year.

her belief in immortality squarely on
Biblical grounds. She holds that "the

brought life and immortality to light
How did he do this? By filing the life
of today with the consciousness of
eternal things, of truth and princi-
