THE MORGAN CITY.
Her Troops Hungry On a
Rocky Beach.
One Million Dollars in Treasure Is Still on
Board the Sunken Ship-The
Hooker Off.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 19.-The
Royal Mail steamer Empress of India,
arriving here today, was signaled as
she passed the rocky beach at OnOmi-
chi, Japan, on which the shipwrecked
men of the transport Morgan City are
camped, only the masts and funnel
tops of their steamer being visible.
Thus interrupting the voyage Of a lin
er is a serious matter, and it was
serious matter that Occasioned ii, the
500 or more men for Philippine re-en-
fOrcement finding themselves on
shortest rations and with a prospect
of even these stopping. Five days
food had been sent from Kobe, but
there remained but one days provi-
sions and no sign of the promised re-
lief steamer. The Empress gave all
the supplies that could be spared from
the ships stores and anticipated that
there would be no further hunger
among the caStawayS.
No decision had at that time been
reached as to the raising of the vessel,
which, according to the report of the
Japanese cruiser Yoshino, which Wis
tied the scene Immediately after the
disaster, will be very difficult, if not
impossible. Nor had any steps been
taken toward the recovery of the ST.
100000 in pay money that went down
with the ship. The point at which
the disaster occurred is a deSOlate
spot in the Inland Sea between Kobe
and Nagasaki, known as Miura, near
Onomichi, Bingo province. The cur
rent runs strong, and there is some
fear of the ship being washed bare by
the action of the water, the men hav-
their personal belongings.
Under orders from the Governor at
Hiroshima, the Chief of the district
police, with several inspectors and
policemen, the heads of the village
and doctors and nurses of the HirOshi-
ma Red Cross Society were promptly
on the scene to relieve the immediate
necessities of the unfortunate men.
They were totally unprepared, how
ever, to cope with the food question for
so numerous body, and had not the
Canadian Pacific steamer responded to
their call they must have experienced
all the torments of acute hunger.
The Empress also brings word from
Manila that the United States trans
port Hooker, which had been on the
rocks off CorregidOr Island, had been
floated, but that the Spanish steamer
Espana, which had gone to the assist
ance of the Hooker. is now on the
rocks herself. The Hooker's hull has
been damaged, the full extent of her
injuries being impossible to estimate
until she has been locked at Hong
kong.

CHINESE EMPRESS
Fears That Her Food
Has Been Poisoned.
Is Seriously Ill and Ii Hung Chang IS Oree
More High in Her
Favor.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 19.-Affairs
at Picking have been thrown into
strange confusion, according to adj
vices by todays mail steamer, by the
sudden and dangerous illness of the
Empress Dowager and the circulation
of a report that Ii Hung Chang had
been called upon to resume his old
rank and office. The Empress Dow
ayers illness dates from August %,
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 Ii Hung CnanS man, sue
ceeding. The Empress Dowager had
also requested Ii 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
illness is assumed to keep the rival
factions of Jung Lu and Prince Ching
from coming to blows until she has
perfected another coup d'etat. The de-
sign, it is animated, 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.
