Wheat is shipped to the great western
markets in bulk, the grain being carried
loose in the cars, as in bin. Shippers
sometimes mix inferior wheat with that
of good quality, putting it in the bottom
or around the sides of car load. Each
load is tested with an instrument little
like q sand pump. and if any inferior
wheat is found in the car the entire load
il classed "a inferior. This penalty has
put dishonest shippers to their Wits
ends to contrive WAYS of mixing poor
With good wheat 50 that there shall be
the fewest chances of detection. An
inspector of grain in Kansas City says
that the most ingenius plan of deceiv-
ing buyers is to distribute a number of
bags Of poor wheat on the floor of the
car, standing the bags with their mouths
downward. When the car is filled mp to
the level of the upper ends of the bags
the bags are pulled out, leaving a col
unn OF poor wheat here and there. The
operation may be repeated with an
other layer. The chances of the in
spector's instrument touching the in
ferior grain when IL is thrust into the
load are much fewer than they woald be
II the poor wheat were mixed in any
other manner.

TROUBLES OF the MADRAs.

The troubles of the British steamship
Madras at Honolulu. San Francisco,
Victoria and Puget Sound during the
past few months are now historic, and
are quite as familiar as anything that
has occurred during the period referred
to. Her last troubles were at San Fran
cisco, which are mentioned by the
Chvonicle as follows:
Madras left this port for Honolulu and
HonekonR. For a long time there had
been bad feeling between the master,
Captain Bradley, and his officers, but it
did not develop itself till Just before the
pilot was ready to leave the steamer
Some order given by the captain was re-
piled to by the first mate in an insulting
manner, to which the captain replied by
giving the mate a thrashing. This 90
CURED Just outside the Heads, and after
the pilot left the captain ordered the
engineer to put on steam and 90 ahead.
But a council of war had been held in
the engine room between the first and
second mates and the first. second and
third engineers, and they all decided not
to go TO sea with Captain Bradley, and
consequently the order to ego ahead"
was met with a blank refusal. The
captain then ordered the sailors to hoist
sail, with the intention of proceeding
on the voyage at any rate. When the
sails were set and the steamer under
way the three engineers put on steam
and worked the propeller the reverse
way. and the steam being stronger than
the sails, the vessel came back to the
starting place storm first and the anchor
was dropped. The captain then sent
ashore by passing ting TO have tho
British consul take some steps in the
matter and send cut three more engi-
neers. Acting British Consul Mason,
Henry Lund. the consignee, and a pilot
chartered the tug Neptune and went out
to the Madras, which lay at anchor ten
miles outside of the Heads. Finding
that matters could not be satisfactorily
arranged, for the engineers would not
90 to sea with Mr.. Bradley as master,
and it being impossible to find three
competent engineers and two mates, il
vas decided BY the Consul and Mr..
Lond to put another captain on the
Madras for the time being. To this
Captain Bradley agreed, o. did the mu-
tineers, and ON the return to the city
the services Of Mr.. Swan, first mate of
the Sardonyx, were secured, and the
steamer proceeded on her way.
