the United States transport Senator,
with the Iowa troops aboard, encoun.
tered a typhoon shortly after leaving
Yokohama, according to marine men
and the owners Of the steamer. The
fact that the Empress of India did not

as ominous for the Senator. In fact the
army officers and both members of the
firm of Goodall, Perkins s. Co., the
owners, are firm in the belief that the
Senator will arrive on Monday. as
scheduled, or at the most not later than
Tuesday. The Senator is built of steel
