Favor.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 19.-Affairs
at Picking have been thrown into
strange confusion. according to ad
vices by today's mail steamer, by the
sudden and dangerous illness Of the
Empress Dowager and the circulation
of a report that LII Hung Chang had
been called upon to resume his old
rank and Office. The Empress Dow
ayers illness dates from August 25,
when she was suddenly attacked with
violent vomiting. the fear being enter
| tanned that her food had been poi
soned. The Imperial physicians de-
clined to discuss this supposition,
| and three days later their royal mis-
! tress, although apparently recovered,
was described by those having access
| to her presence as quite the reverse OF
her former self mentally, being weak
and listless. paying little or no atten-
ton to affairs Of state brought to her
| attention.
At the same time the announcement
| was made that the resignation of Vice
roy Liu of Marking had been accept
ed, Viceroy Yu Lu of Tien-tsin, a pro-
nounced LII Hung Chang man, sue
| ceeding. The Empress Dowager had
also requested Lii Hung Chang to re-
sumo his old post at Tien-tsin, despite
the violent opposition of her nephew.
Jung Lu, who fears that Ii may de-
prive him of the command of the Pc
rang land and naval forces, without
which he cannot maintain his position
against Prince Ching. There are some
among the European students of ORR
entail politics on the scene who suspect
that much OF the Empress Dowager's
iilpess is assumed to keep the rival
factions Of Jung Lu and Prince Ching
from coming to blows until she has
perfcted another coup d'etat. The de-
sign, 1t is intimated, Is to induce Mar
quis Ito to come to Picking, and that
he and Ii Hung Chang shall be her
deputies in the government OF China.

The facts relating to the loss in the

Mr.. Banning secured room in the

locked. The room had just been vacat-
ed by the purser Of the Nippon Maru.
and 1t was entirely empty when taken
by Mr.. Banning. 1t seems that another
porter, being asked to take the pur-
ser's baggage went to the room, and
not knowing that It was occupied by
a new guest. took the four parcels be-

them TO belong to the purser. These
