A Methodist Preachers Disgrace.

MADISON, Ga April 13.-Bishop A. G. Hoon,
OF the Methodist church of California, has tele-
graphed to Rev. Warren Calder, president of the
Emery Methodist college at Oxford, Ga, to
have arrested if possible the Rev. Edgar Dunbar
and wife, the former being a minister in con-
ference, and divest him of his ministerial Gre
dentials The charge is that Mr.. and Mrs.
Dunbar are living in illegal union, and the
story of the case is an interesting one. Mr. and
Mrs. Dunbar arrived at Oxford some time ago
to visit a son who is attending college there
They were well received, and Mr.. Dunbar
filled the pulpit for DIR. Candelar on more
than one occasion. 1t developed twenty five
years ago that Edgar Dunbar, who is a native OF
Florida, married a beautiful woman there and
raised a small family. Afterward he eIoped to
Little Rock, Ark, and assumed the name of
Seth Burnett. He admitted to a Methodist con-
ference in Arkansa that he had another family:
that he became tired of mis- wife and family and
eloped with Mrs. Herndon, wife OF q neighbor-
ing local preacher, going to Southern California,
where he resumed his own name of Dunbar
again. Dunbar's second wife devoted several
years to ferretting out his whereabouts and
finally succeeded in locating him in California
The attention of the authorities of the
Methodist church there was called to the case
and they at once concluded to unmask the hypo-
critic. In the meantime, Dunbar. suspecting
something wrong, left California, stating that he
was going to New York, but instead, went to
Oxford. The bishop promptly telegraphed to
have Dunbar and his wife intercepted, but the
message came too lats as the couple had left Ok
ford. Their son, who is at college, and whom
they had been visiting, knew nothing Of the sit
uation until informed by President Calder. The
boy, after hearing the story, Immediately fol-
lowed his parents to New York. kilograms
were sent to New York to arrest the couple.

STATE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
The Fourth Annual Convention-Action
Taken to Amend Existing Laws.


WASHINGTON CITY, April 1.-THE fourth an
nual convention OF state railroad commissioners
opened this morning. Nearly all of the states
were represented. E. z. Jarvey, of South Caro-
lima. was elected chairman. The committee re-
ports on uniformity in railway accounting and
reasonable rates were presented. In reg ard to
the latter report, the committee recommended
that the interstate commerce act be SO amended
as to provide that railroads shall try cases in
courts upon the evidence introduced before the
commission: that the findings OF the commission
shall have the same force and effect masters
report in chancery, and that the commission be
authorized to employ competent counsel to
represent them in any litigation they may cause
to be instituted under said act.
At the afternoon session the committee on
discrimination arising from the use of private
cars by shippers presented report recommend
ing an amendment to the interstate commerce
law, prohibiting the allowance of mileage for
the use of private cars beyond a reasonable
compensation for the car when loaded. and also
providing that no mileage shall be paid for the
return OF empty cars, declaring that the allow
ance of free transportation to parties
connected with private cars is contrary to the
provisions Of the interstate commerce law de-
claring that railroad companies hauling private
freight in trains must, at the same time, pro-
vide for the use of shippers engaged in like
traffic sufficient number of cars to meet all
the reasonable requirements Of the public; that
in case OF complaint as to mileage for the use of
private freight cars the question of reasonable
allow ance shall be determined by the interstate
commerce commission, and that o statuary
provision to that effect be enacted

bushels, this years yield bids fair to reach I5,.
00o, 600 bushels.
OF course the enormous yield predicted for
this season is dependent upon certain con-
tingencies. the most vital OF which IL the usual
May and June rains. With this additional
moisture a bonanza yield is almost assured.
Last year the moisture was not nearly SO great
as this spring. At that time the usual May and
June rains gave the growing grain an impetus
but the beneficial rains were followed by about
two weeks of extremely hot weather, and COM
ing as il did when the grain was in the milk
and consequently tender and full of sap, the
prospective total yield was damaged perhaps
100000 bushels. But this year, with the great
amount of moisture in the ground as founda-
ton, average yield, equal to that of LIST year.
is about as good as assured, even without the
usual May and June rains.
Mr. Wolfard owns about 1000 acres in the
Palouse belt, 15O0 acres of which is in grain for
this season As his holdings are scattered pretty
well over the whole Palouse country, Mr.. VOL
fard is prepared to make an accurate estimate of
the yield and the increased acreage this season.
He says:
Including the ten or fifteen townships in
Idaho, in Neg Perces and Latah counties or
what in Idaho is known as the Potlatch and
Genesee country, the Palouse country includes
about seventy townships, or, approximately,
100000 acres OF this amount about 700, 900
acres are under cultivation, OF which Whitman
county contains, in round numbers, 100000
acres. and estimating the balance of
the belt on basis of the acreage in
that county, the total acreage of 100 900 is con-
sentative rough estimate. Large tracts In the
western part of the belt have not yet been
brought under cultivation, but it can be seen
how rapidly it is being turned over by the fact
that at Endicott the acreage will be fully
doubled this year. There are two school Sec
tons to every township, which contribute
largely to the uncultivated area already mem
toned The increased acreage this season will
be about 20 per cent. This season there is more
fail-sown grain than ever before. Farmers are
doing more fall sowing every year. as by this
means the grain has the benefit of the moisture
OF the rain and snow of the winter.
Mr.. Wolfard is confident that with the usual
May and June moisture an enormous crop is a
certainty. The prospects point to an unprsce-
dentedly large yield. While the increase in the
price of wheat land is greater in some sections
than in others, the average increase all over the
grain belt for the past eighteen months is esti-
mated by Nj. Wolfard at $40 per acre.

SPOKANE, April 13.-[Special. Portland met
with disastrous defeat at the hands of Spokane
In the opening game Of the series played here
today, the score standing IA to i'll favor of the
home club at the close of the game. The weather
was all that could be desired, and much en-
thusiasm was felt in this city in the opening of
the baseball season. The electric cars were
decorated with flags, carrying bands Of
music, which made repeated trips over
the various lines throughout the city,
thereby adding much to the interest taken
in the game. Several hundred people had
passed into the grounds before 2:3o, and this
number was rapidly augmented by the frequent
arrivals OF cars loaded with all the passengers
they could carry. At $3.50, the hour for calling
the game, over 1000 people had congregated in the
grand-stand, on the bleachers and in carriages
All the baseball cranks in the city were early in
their places, ready to assist with the full force
OF their lungs and rejoice over the good plays,
or in cheering their favorites on to victory. At
1882 Umpire Banning called "play," with Nc
Nabb in the box. Spokane scored one run
in the first inning, and by tbs fourth had
a total of ten, while Portland had only
one tally to her credit. As Spokane was so far
in the lead, Beard took Sowders from the box
and put in Reccius. In the fifth inning spo-
kane made another tally, and in the sixth Port
land batted Reccius for a triple, single aud
double, which, with base on balls and one
error, gave them three runs. The seventh in
ming was noticeable for spokane's brilliant
fielding. The second game will be played hero
tomorrow. The score:

pending question being order against the
clause appropriating $4,000 toward the con-
struction of dry dock at Algiers. La. The point

HO SHEN CHEZ LOSES HIS JOB.
Ine Scheming Interpreter OF the Chi
nese LEGATION Unmarked.

nese Legation Unmasked.
SAN Francisco April IA Washington City
special ssys: Ho Shen Chez, who appears in the
blue book as translator and attachs of the Chi
nese legation, is no longer the official repre-
sentative of the FIowery Kingdom in any
capacity, having been notified to draw the rem
nant OF his salary and depart The entire Chi
nese legation ia greatly exercised over the
duplicity of its important and trusted employe,
and loud complaints have been forwarded to his
imperial majesty across the Pacific ss TO the at
taches Vaccinations. Ho shen Chez viii es-
cape the headsmsn's knife, however, for he
was born in Hongkong and is British
subject. About the time of the passage by the
House of the Geary Chinese bill the Chinese
minister began to have his doubts OF honesty OF
his English speaking assistant on account OF
the numerous letters he received from the
Chinese merchants in san Francisco, New York,
Denver and other places demonstrating against
the bill. which they said was monstrous
measure and calculated to do them irreparable
injury. He, it appears, in his translation OF tho
bill had made it appear very inofcnsive docu-
ment, instead OF an extremely stringent one,
and had partially got an idea into the minister's
head that it would not be such a very CREST
calamity after all should it pass. His sus-
pieions aroused, the minister sent all his
English letters and papers to New York for
translation there. Just at the time the Geary bill
was passing, the minister learned its true con-
tents. Then there was a scene and an abrupt
dismissal. 1t is said Hos reasons for mislead-
ing his chief were entirely selfish. He had ar
ranged with C. P. Huntington, Stevens and
others to get from the Chinese government the
forfeited banking and railroad concessions that
had once been granted to Count Mitkiewicz, and
had already made arrangements to proceed to
China on that Grand with Mr.. Stevens and pos
sibly Mr.. Huntington. Millions of dollars were
to be involved in enormous projects. His object
was to keep the American and Chinese govern
ments on good terms, if possible, SO as to fur
tier his own ends, and for that reason he
blinded the entire legation as to the true condi-
ton of things long as possible. Unfortun-
ately for his scheme, he thought the Geary bill
would be held back until the close of the ses-
sion, which would give him plenty of time to
carry out his plans. Geary spoiled all, how
ever, by UNEXPECTEDLY suspending the rules and
passing the bill in one hour.
