Another view is that they are opposed to the: Empress. Out of all these conflicting statements it is difficult to learn the truth.

Mr. Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who is now on his way home to England from a dip lomatic mission to the East, was interviewed on the subject in New York the other day. -He said: trouble dates back to September 19, 189S, when the Empress was in her summer palace. During her absence the Emperor, temporarily in authority, planned under the advice of his tutor, Kang-Yn-Wai, to depose the sovereign. To this end arrangements had been made to the extent of securing the general commanding the troops at Tien Tsin.

who was to march on Peking to support only to find the Emperor in communication with Marquis Ito of Japan. The Marquis, whjo iss Prime Minister at the Mikado's court, resigned bis office to go to China, ostensibly to a treaty whDreun- der Japan itr educate tbe fleet and the army of China. 11 Upon learning a the Emperor was to confer WHB Marquis Ito she insisted fin being at the interview, concealed i a scrrfn and unknown to the Marquis. Wben the interview took place, therefore, the Emperor con- fini-d himpt-lf to a i a few common- plxce i he drank his tea, i i i a the andience was at an end "That night the Emperor arrested and an i a near the palrtf.t-.

Mr. Sheridan add? ttmr Whether the Empress will try to iinell the rebellion or whether she will i the Boxers in her own cause and atrainst the jKiwers none but the Empress herself can say." It is evident from i tnat the Boxers constitute a force qaite as formidable to the i powers of China as they are dangerous to foreigners.

This is why the aim of the Star Clothing House is to handle mostly high-grade goods. For that reason we have no men's suits to offer for fl.75, or $3 suits which are claimed to be worth $6 elsewhere. We do not handle such trash, neither do we try to make people believe that we can sell a gold dollar for fifty cents. What we claim is that we handle a large and well selected line of Clothing, ranging in price for Men's Suits, from to Youth's Suits, from to Children's Suits, from to If yon buy a suit of these clothes you can rest assured that yon have good value for your money. We received this spring a large stock of Clothing, Gent's Furnishings.

We do not confine ourselves to our own make of Clothing, as we also carry in stock the celebrated Stien-Bloch and Alfred Benjamin makes, which are the best wholesale tailored ready-to-wear clothing on the market. We are also prepared to show a new and complete line of Gent's Furnish ings and Shoes, and can fit our customers out from head to foot for tbe coming Fourth of July.
