DISASTER PREDICTED

PREY TO FIRST STORM.

Honolulu, Aug. est now seems
inevitable that the Manchuria will re-
main on the rocks which hold her in
o vise-like grip until the high seas or
the first breath of storm pound her
to pieces. The company has practi-
cally abandoned hope of floating the
huge craft, though the vessel will be
stripped of everything that can be
removed before she is given over to
the waves. The disaster merely full
fills predictions that have been made
here for many years in the effort to
secure Government appropriations

The Pacific Mail Company, through
its attorney, has announced that ii
will assume all responsibility for the
landing of the through passengers
at this point. The company is now
making every effort to get the bag
gage ashore and will allow each pas
senger while stranded here an ex-
pense rate of $3.50 per day, and will
arrange for them the earliest trans
portation to the Orient. All book
ings on the Korea leaving San Fran
cisco on September have been
stopped in order to provide room for
the passengers of the Manchuria now
in this city.
The Rev. w. H. Day of Los Ange-
les presided over a meeting of the
passengers today at which 100 were
present, and a committee was APP
pointed to settle who should gel
berths on the Hongkong Togo Kisen,
Oriental liner due here for the Ori-
ent on August 80, and who are to
await the Korea, and also to frame
resolutions of appreciation for the
courtesies extended by the insulaI
authorities here.
1t was decided that Governor Smith
of the Philippines should take the
first steamer to sail for the Orient
and that the others should be select
ed according to the urgency of their
journeys. Complete harmony pre-
vailed, and those present manifested
satisfaction at the treatment they
had received from the company.

In her novel. The Giants Mrs. Ere
mont Older gloriies journalism. She de-
picts the Importance and real value of a
big newspaper in a political campaign. She
portrays the managing editor of THE Uni
verse" as a real human man, and not as
a dyspeptic automaton, and generally re-
spects the feelings of newspaper men and
actual conditions of newspaper life. The
fact that Mrs. Older's husband is the edi-
tor of the San Francisco Bulletin has given
her an insight into the newspaper world.
1t is not the newspaper, however, but the
hero who finally overcomes the United Oil
company, against which the book is di-
rected. Neither the railroads nor the cor
porations are spared in the novel. Pub
