According to Senior Quesada of the Gu

that unless the American Government
takes immediate steps to supply the starv.

sheer desperation, obtain this food by

II HUNG CHANG BANiSHED,
Sent from Pekin to Accomplish an
Impossible Task.

The shelving of Ii Hung Chang, report
cd in dispatches from Pekin, is due to
British influence, and indicates that Eng
land is getting ON top again In the far
East.
Ii Hung Chang has for long time been
openly the friend of Russia, and that
country secured his restoration to power.
He is down once more, and 1t is probable
that he will never wear the yellow jacket
and peacock feather again.
Ii has been ordered to proceed to Isl
Nan, capital 0 [ the province of Shantung,
TO take measures to prevent future inun-
dation of the Hoang-H Ho valley. The river
there has baffled all efforts to ccutrol it
for $500 years. and Ii will probably spend
the rest Of his years tnere in endeavoring
to solve the problem.
