PERCIVAL FARRAR * SAID To BE ,N PAF I - Mysterious Letter to Scot lai Yard Officials Reports Exill to Be Found 8 LONDON, Jan. L—A mysteriol i anonymous letter received by Scotlanl I Yard this afternoon stated that the ReJ Frederick Percival Farrar, the formal - royal chaplain, who is now a disgraced . J exile, had been seen in Paris this week] ■' accompanied by a woman, said to be hid I wife. ’ The Farrar scandal is being forgot ' by royal command, and there is little , likelihood that the case will be revived i through an investigation. Scotland Yard I is making no effort to apprehend the - minister, and it is quite likely that the warrant issued against Farrar, upon a basis of gross immorality, will never be served. The celrgyman has been report ed variously as fleeing to America and the contlnefit. The Rev. Farrar’s name has been I dropped from the list of recognized i c ** r,y ot the Church of England be- ; cause of the nature of the charges I brought against him. i Friends of Farrar’s are touched by I the loyalty of Mrs Farrar, who, before , I her marriage, was Miss Nora Davis. I ! sister of Richard Harding Davis Mrs Farrar U believed to be with her hus band. The return of King George from Ih dia. will to some Artent. revive inter est in the case, for it was during the king s absence that the revelations that led 5° of the minister were ma de King George sent the dismissal by cable. \ , , . th *“ W Mr Farrar, which ” WBf ’ v,rtual admission of his ! ffuilt.

Morse by the authorities at the Atlanta Federal penitentiary, reached their climax last week and have called forth from Warden Moyer a vig orous protest against their Injustice and inaccuracy, together with an announce ment that he intends to make public the whole original report and facts con nected with Morse's solitary confine ment for an infraction of prison rules some months ago. This will keenly interest the public. From the very first day Morse enterea the ■ Federal prison there has been a persistent attempt to sreate public sym pathy for him by circulating highly colored newspaper stories, carrying al ' leged reevlations of Morse's 111-treat ment at the hands of Warden Moyer and the authorities at the penitentiary. It eventually’ became evident here and elsewhere throughout the country that Morse or Morse's friends, had enlisted or obtained the services of a regular ! “press agent,” whose duty it seemed to be to try to get up a sentimental pity for Morse, and it is probable that the banker convict for this very reason has ,not received from the public the natural sympathy to which ha was en ! titled. The attempt to arouse it was too obvious. Over and over again sen sational stories have been printed here, and still more sensational stories have , been sent out of Atlanta and published i in othec papers, doubtless sometimes in i good faith. Evidently believeing that the time has ■ come when patience ceases to be a vir i tue. Warden Moyer has decided to take I drastic and definite steps to put a stop to the bids for sympathy based on Morse's a'leged ill-treatmept at the prison. If the whole tpith hurts the | prisoner now. says Warden Morse, the I blame must rest upon his friends. I Here is the letter: jDepartment of Justice, United States 1 Penitentiary.

By the terms of the agreement delegates from all the provinces of China are to meet to decide Che future form of govern ment for China, and the imperialists are of opinion that the national convention is likely to culminate in the victory of the Republican party.

BATES ON EXPRESS FROM EAST CAUSE BILL OFCOMPLAINT Freight Bureau Will Ask That Atlanta Be Put on Basis With Chicago in Shipment York* r ' For the purpose of having express rates to Atlanta from New York and other eastern points reduced the Atlanta Freight bureau has retained Attorney W. A. Wlmbish to tile a complaint with the interstate commerce , commission against the Southern and the Adams Express companies. This complaint will show, both that Atlanta is the victim of discrimination in express rates, and also that the schedule of rates in effect here is un justly high, without comparison with the rates in other cities. In addition, the complaint will set forth the faet that express rates af fecting Atlanta have not been revised or reduced for 25 years. While freight rates have undergone continual change for the benefit of the shipper, express rates have remained stationary, de manding the same fee from merchant and manufacturer that they required 25 years ago. The following figures show the dis crimination under which Atlanta labors in express rates from New York: From New York to St. Louis, a distance of 1,065 miles, $3 is charged for 100-pound shipments; from New York to Chicago, a distance of 912 miles, $2.50 is charged; from New York to Louisville, a dis tance of 867 miles, $2.50 is charged, while from New York to Atlanta, a distance of but 876 miles, $4 is charged. Though St. Louis is 189 miles farther from New York than Atlanta is, express to St. Louis requires $1 less for 100- pound shipments than express to At lanta. The demand will be made to the inter state commerce commission that the rate from New York to Atlanta shall be rendered no more than the rate from New York to Chicago. The Chicago rate is $2.50 and the Atlanta rate is $4. Such a reduction wopld mean that lo cal , merchants and manufacturers -would save $1.50 on every 100 pounds of freight expressed from New York. A similar reduction will also be asked in express rates from all eastern citigs. Principally a reduction is desired from New York; but, in addition, an equal reduction is needed from all eastern cities. Ab obsoltete schedule of rates that was just 25 years ago has outworn the patience ft merchants and manufac turers and determined the freight bu reau to use every effort to secure a fair adjustment of express rates. A reduction such as is desired, will save thousands of uollars yearly to At lanta. The express bjll of large mer chants and manufacturers will amount annually to from SI,OOO to $4,000, ana added to this are the fees the express companies receive from individuals. Under a schedule such as obtains from New York to Chicago, $1.50 would be saved on every IQO-pound shipment, ana the express bills would be cut almost in half. Attorney Wlmbish has begun prepa ration of his complaint and will file it within a short time with the inter state commerce commission. At a recent meeting of directors of the Atlanta . freight bureau, it was decided that he should be retained and the com plaint made to the commission. Every effort has been made to bring about an agreement betweep the express compa nies and local shippers, but these en deavors have been fruitless. As a final effort, the freight bureau will carry its contentions before the interstate com merce commission. i„ i . British Cruiser to Egypt MALTA.

C;, Jan. 1.-Efforts to save the British steamer Thlstleroy, around on Lookout Shoals, have been un successful and the vessel probably will be a total loss. After a hard battle with a heavy sea, 12 members of the crew were picked up from a disabled motor life-saving boat sent out from the Cape Lookout station, the revenue cutter Itasca sending Lieutenant Covell and a crew in an open life boat to rescue them.
