BISHOP NINDE'S RETURN.
THE METHODIST PRELATE AT
VANCOUVER TALKS OF THE
ORIENT.
He HAS STRONG FAITH IN THE
JAPANESE AS A GROWING
NATION.

VANCOUVER, B. c., March 13-Among
the passengers from the Orient on the
Empress of India was Bishop Ninde of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, who has
been in China for the purpose of
visiting the different missions of his de-
nomination.
'Since the murder of Wiley" said the
Bishop in conversation to night, athere
have been no further outrages in the Orient
and the prospects of missionary work are
most favorable. In Japan, more particu-
larly, We are allowed to distribute Bibles
among the military, and even among the
Emperor's own bodyguard. And another
encouraging sign also is that several of
our native Christian ministers have Joined
the army as chaplains, or if not exactly
recognized as such, they are furnished
with free transportation and living.
In China the hatred against all foreign
ers is intensified in some places, but the
feeling as far as my own experience goes
seems to be genial, except in Yang-tse
Valley. have frequently made extended
excursions and have had no trouble at all.

Though heather himself he is friendly
to missionaries and expressed the hope
that many more would come. On the
whole, was very much encouraged with
the outlook in all three countries. Two Of
the Cabinet Ministers of the Korean King

ARREST OF REID OF TRINITY
The AssEMBLYMAN' BoIsTERoUs
CONDUCT AT THE NIGHT SESSION.

SACRAMENTO, March 13.-Reid of Trinity
succeeded in making himself so offensive
tonight that he had to be put under arrest
by the sergeant-at-arms in order to keep
order.
The county division bill was brought up
on the urgency file by Davis of Tulare.
This bill is identical with the Under bill.
which caused such cry of fraud in the
Senate by its bad features.
Its popularity was that it made county
division easy and allowed the cutting of a
county into as many parts as there were
portions containing 5000 people.
As soon as the bill was ready amend
ments began to pour in. These amend
ments were the same that had been ac-
copied in the Senate, and were designed to
render the division of county more diff
cult and a matter requiring the will of a
greater number of voters. They were
adopted one after another.
In the meanwhile, Reid OF Trinity was
introducing amendments, the adoption OF
which would certainly have killed the bill.
One was to put the matter of division to
a vote of the entire old county.
Another was that a new county could
not be made of parts of two or more coun-
ties The Trinity amender had only a
small following and succeeded only in de-
laying matters These delays were made
greater by his uproarious conduct and con-
tinual appealings from the decision of the
chair.
Laugenour of Yolo, another Democrat,
occupied the chair all during the proceed
ings, and his quick and impartial rulings
were upheld at every point. Finally one
of Reid S amendments was voted down by
heavy majority.
Reid scurried to his seat to demand a
rollcall, but before he could get to his

A SEATTLE COUNTERFBITER
JOINS THE SALVATION ARMY AND
C0NFESSES HIS
y GUILT.
HIS CONSCIENCE TROUBLES HIM
AND He WANTS TO EXPIATE
HIS CRIME.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 13.-Thomas
German, strapping, husky ironmolder is
languishing in Jail, the victim of a dis
turbed conscience. He is counterfeiter,
or says he is, and by his own volition
signed his warrant of arrest before United
States Commissioner Emory, and is now
in the hands of the Federal Government to
stand trial.
German is recent convert of the Saliva
ton Army, and it was his attendance at its
meetings that brought him to realizing
sense of his sinfulness and caused his
strange actions. German claims to have
hid away near Ballard a counterfeiting
outfit, and to have made and passed with
in the last two months in this city and
Tacoma $50 bogus silver dollars.
On the strength of this testimony, which
he willingly laid before United States Dis
trict Attorney Brinker, a warrant of arrest
was made out His bond was fixed at $500,
and in default of bail he will remain in
prison at McNeilps Island until the June
term of court
German says there was no one engaged
in the work but himself, although at one
time man stood over him and watched
him making the coin. He had none of the
spurious coin to show as evidence of his
guilt, having passed the last batch turned
out. He says he was so successful that in
this city he passed fifty-one of the dollars
within an hour one day, and no questions
were asked.
When asked by the District Attorney if
he knew the penalty OF the crime, German
answered mo-" but remarked that he only
cared to clear his conscience. German is a
smooth-faced fellow of 26, unmarried, and
very ordinary looking.

A MEETING CALLED TO CONSIDER
THE BEST METHOD OF
ORGANIZATION.

Los ANGELES, March 13.-Fruit-growers
OF this section are beginning to realize the
truth of the old adage that sin union there
is strength" and are busy forming com
bines for their mutual protection. Orange
exchanges in this and other counties have
met with such success in affording relief
from high freight rates charged by trans
portation companies and the small re-
turns received from commission houses,
that the deciduous-fruit growers now pro-
pose to unite their forces. With such an
object in view they will meet in the Cham
Der of Commerce rooms on the Goth inst.
to perfect organization and prepare for
effective work during the coming season.

OREGON road RECEIVBRSHIP
JUDGE BELLINGER DENIES THE
PETITION OF A TRUST
COMPANY.
THERE WILL BE No MODIFICATION
OF THE ORDER APPOINTING
THE RECEIVER.

PORTLAND, Or, March 13.-Judge Bel
linger to-day rendered a decision denying
the petition of the American Loan and
Trust Company the minority stockholders
OF the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company, and Receiver Mcneil for q
modification of the order appointing the
receiver. The accounts involved in the
contest are, however, all to go before a
Master-in-Chancery, except those on which
payment is urgent, and such are to be pro-
vided for by special orders of the court
upon application and hearing.
Ex-senator Saunders of Montana, one of
the attorneys for the American Loan and
Trust Company in the oregon Short Line
and Utah Northern receivership case, be-
gan the argument against the demurrer to
the bill. Speaking of the present receiver
ship he said the question of whether or not
1t is desirable to continue It depended
upon two considerations, one of which was
whether the receivers possessed the re-
quirement necessary, and the other
whether their opinions, hopes and desires
were proper and right as regards
the operation of this and other
properties. The precise proposition laid
down was, he said, that the road must
have the present receivers, though they are
receivers of other and community railroads.
This, he claimed, was not equitable, even
though the proposition was made by senior
security-holders, because those security
holders were interested in Union Pacific
securities and other securities OF properties
the receivers operate. He said it was
equivalent to saying the Short Line should
be operated in the interest of protecting
the securities of these other properties, and
was inequitable to the junior lien-holders
OF the Short Line. The only right the
American Loan and Trust Company
claimed in these proceedings was that Sc
cnred to them by contract. That they
acquired when they paid over to the Ore
gon Short Line and Utah Northern Rail
way Company $11, 100000. This right, he
said, was one that could not be taken from
them, and that they were entitled to pos
session OF the road, as provided in their
mortgage.

Toconna,s Hater .Sannzu.

TACOMA, March 13.-The city officials
have decided to abandon Glover Greek and
Spanaway Lake as source of water sup
ply. This can be done by bringing in
water from springs south of the city and
increasing the pumping capacity of sta
tons A and B, which pump from the
springs in gulches in the south end of the
city. Tests made to-day show that the
fire pressure in the hydrants has not been
lowered, and tonight the reserve supply
in the reservoirs is at the normal height.
These facts have been wired to the Under
writer's Association at San Francisco.

The Jury AcqUits an Editor of Malicious
Defamation.
PORTLAND, Or, March 13.-The criminal
libel suit against J. E. Hayne, editor of the
Portlander, the local organ of the A. P. A,
came up in the criminal department of the
State Circuit Court to-day. Father Eugene
Bolta, spiritual director of the Magdalene
Home of East Portland, is the prosecuting
witness.
Last November Hayne published an
article which, it is alleged, in effect charged
that Father Bolta was found drunk on the
street, and that policeman carried him
homer When placed on the stand Father
Bolta denied positively that he had ever
been drunk.
The defense claim that the article pub
lished was not intended to defame the
character of Father BoIta, as no name was
mentioned.
The jury after short deliberation re-
turned verdict of not guilty.

SAN DIEGO, March 13.-Collector Fisher
has received word from United States
District Attorney Denis deciding that
the case against the schooner VAIL
berg must be instituted in the port from
which she cleared-San Francisco. Fisher
accordingly released the vessel so far as he
was concerned, and wired the department
of Denis decision.
Captain Matthew Martin. skipper of the
Wahlberg, who suddenly disappeared some
days ago, returned Monday. He has
been at San Francisco, and on returning
took charge of mis- schooner. 1t is probable
that the vessel will be libeled through the
San Francisco authorities, in order to re-
