wide and distinct as ever, although the
new chairman has begun to try to et-

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 21.-Advices
from the Orient by the Empress of In

that China and Japan have been Wis
ited by thunderstorms and disastrous
floods, in which many hundreds of peo-
pie have lost their lives. The region

been inundated for hundreds of miles

thousand persons have been plunged

into absolute penury, which local du-

rights in Shantung, with other conces-

ment negotiations are still actively in
progress in Pekin respecting the Hong

that the widespread belief that Great
Britain has finally abandoned that
important point in the face of Russian
