PASSING or THE PIeTAIL.

Although the queue, less reverenuy
known as pigtail, is most commonly
associated in the public mind OF to-
day with the people of China, and al
though that fashion Of wearing the
hair has probably been attributed by
the thoughtless in many instances to
what most of us were taught by our
school biographies to regard as the
half-civilized condition of the Chinese,
it is fact well worth noting that the
Chinese are by no means the only ma
ton on earth to have shown respect
and Partially to the queue. The re-
cent edict sanctioning the abolition
Of the pigtail in China reminds the
London Chronicle that it is not so
very long ago since the pigtail disap-
peared not merely from the British
army and navy, but even from every
day civilian life in England. Waist
long pigtails were the fashionable
wear in England about 1740, and be-
fore that the bag wig had been
adorned with a pigtail Topped up in a
black silk flag. AS late as 1858 an old
gentleman was seen in Cheapside with
his gray hair tied behind in a short
queue, and it appears that even today
may be found in England a relic Of
the pigtail; for, according to the
Chronicle, three pieces of black vel
vet on the dress tunics of officers in
the Royal Welsh Fusiliers are the re-
mains of the ribbon with which the
queue was tied.

Guayaquil, acknowledgements Eloy
Alfaro, Flavio Alfaro, Medardo Al
faro, Manuel Serrano and Ulpiano
Paez, all prominent revolutionists,
were lynched by mob which broke
into the Quito prison, despite the
heavy guard surrounding it.
With the death of these men the
leading lights in Ecuador's latest rev.
oIution have been snuffed out.
This revolution, although it had been
a long time brewing, began in reality
a few days following the sudden death
on December % last of Emilio Es-
trada
The first of the drastic measures
taken by those who opposed the rev.
olution was carried into effect Janu-
airy % at Guayaquil, when Gen. Pedro
Montero, who was proclaimed presi-
dent by the troops after the death OF
Estrada, was shot and beheaded by
mob, which later burned his body.
Eloy Alfaro and Generals Paez and
Montero were captured January % at
Guayaquil when government troops
under Gen. Leonidas Plaza forced the
revolutionists who held Guayaquil to
capitulate
Flavio Alfaro had been wounded In a
battle a few days before the fall of
Guayaquil.
Medardo Alfaro was captured on
January 25 as he arrived at Guaya-
quill on board steamer with a body
Of rebel troops.
Eloy Alfaro was proclaimed presi-
dent of Ecuador by the populace in
January, 1906, after he had defeated
the government troops at Quito. In
October of the same year he was elect
ed provisional president by the ma
tional convention and held the office
of chief executive until 1911.
In that year Emilio Estrada ran for
the office with Flavio Alfaro as an OPP
ponent, and was elected by majority
of over 100000 votes. Estrada was
then indicted into Office and retained
the chief executiveship until his death
last December.
The Alfaros and their followers had
not been idle during Estrada's tenure
of Office and there frequently came re-
ports of their intention to start rev.
olution in Ecuador When Estrada
died General Montero, a trusted lieu
tenant of the Alfaros, had himself pro-
claimed president by the Radicals and
the troops in Guayaquil. Montero at
the time was commander-in-ch1ef or
the military in the Guayaquil district.
He formed a provisional ministry and
the new government signed an act to
ignore the constitutional administra-
ton at Quito.
Severe fighting followed the outbreak
of the new revolt, and the United
States government sent the gunboat
Yorktown to Ecuadorean waters to
protect American interests. The fight
ing continued with varying successes
until January 10, when the rebels suf-
fered a bad defeat at Yaguache. north
east of Guayaquil. Four days later
Guayaquil capitulated to General
Plaza.
Eloy Alfaro and Generals Montero
and Paez were found in hiding and
were then only saved from death by
the intervention of Gen. Julio Andrade
of the government forces. Later they
were taken to the Quito penitentiary
