bnt he died in tho smallpox epidemic of 18S0 before he was a year old. Then came two da.iphters, and the Kins: began to be anx. our about the perpetuation of his line. The lordly demeanor of the Queen and the royal mother-in-law bad raised up many enemies ia the palace, and the royal astrologers secretly announced to King Thebaw that there was a speli thrown over the Soo-Payah-Lat, and that she would never bear him an heir. Thereupon his Majesty took to himself the granddaughter of the Kharopat Min Gyee, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and the daughter of the Pehn-a Twin Wood. one of the four Ministers of the “Interior.” These ladies had to be shifted about from place to place to escape the machinations of the offended Queen, and eventually the latter was discarded and the Min-Gyee’s granddaughter installed in a wing of the palace under a guard of soldiery. Meanwhile, constant violent scenes were witnessed in the palace between his Majesty and the Soo Payah-Lat. and it was even reported that he had wounded her, and that her reproaches and violence had driven him to the drinking bout of the beginning of the year. The taunt that it was by her means that he had succeeded to the throne, and that her displacement might result in his own fall, does not seeru to have lost its effect with the weak-minded Thebaw. At any rate, lie hesitated to go to the extremity of casting her off. ana the consequence was that two perfectly distinct ami hostiie parties came to exist in the oalace. Chief of the southern Queen’s party, and hand and glove with her Majesty, was the TaynoungPrince, the leading spirit of the palace massacre of 1879, for which service he gained his title. With him were all the most notorious champions of the national party and haters of the English. They were entirely bound up with the Soo-Payah-Lat, and her disgrace must inevitably result in their ruin, so that they took a most direct interest in the King’s marrying anew qneen. During a severe illness of Thebaw they schemed for the succession of the Nyoung Yan Prince to the throne, but this it seems was divulged and brought about their downfall. Thebaw got wind of the intrigues, and summarily settled the question by clapping the whole party in jail. The Njoung Yan Prince died or committed suicide there. The Pehn-a-Twin-Woon, who, through chagrin at the discarding of his daughter, had joined the Soo-Payah Lat party, was executed, with a number of minor officials. In the last few years Thebaw has not permitted the crimson characler of his glory to dim. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Crown Prince Rudolph Supervises the Production of a National Literary Work.

M. K CHURCH EXTENSION. Unfounded Rumor of a Defalcation—A Disturbance Raised on a Technical Point. Philadelphia. Nov. 13.—At a meeting of the board of church extension of the M. E. Chinch, to-day, the committee on foreign correspondence reported that “the committee had carefully considered tho application for assistance from Germany and Switzerland, and from India, and respectfully reports, first, that inasmuch as the missionary society has heretofore made provision for the procurement of church property in our foreign mission fields, any aid from this country needed for such purposes should be furnished, as heretofore, by the missionary society as our missionary authorities may determine; second, that inasmuch as our foreign missions are organized under the same provisions of discipline as in this country, we recommend that this general committee make the amount asked for church extension, and the appropriations authorized, equal to the same as in the case of some other of the German conferences in this country, and that the board of church extension authorize the various conference boards to issue but such amounts as maybe collected within their own boards, in accordance with tbeir judgment, reporting their action to the parent board for recognition in the annual reports.” This report gave rise to an extended discussion. and was finally laid on the table. The following telegram was received by Rev. Dr. Kyuett, the corresponding secretary: Cincinnati, 0., Nov. 13. To A. J. Kynett, D. D., Philadelphia; The evening papers tell us of a sensational report about a defalcation in your society. Better wire us the exact conditions immediately. Cranston & Stone. Dr. Kynett rend the telegram to the general committee, and the following telegram was ordered to be sent, by unanimous vote: Messrs. Cranston A Stowe, Cincinnati, O.t Reports concerning a defalcation in the church extension office are utterly unfounded. The accounts have been adudited and found correct. S. M. Merrill, Chairman. S. J. McConnell, Secretary. Just before the adjournment. Secretary McConnell called the committee’s attention to the fact that a communication from Thomas Price had been referred to a special committee yesterday, and that the committee was now ready to report Bishop Hams called for the report, but before it could be given, a motion declaring that it was inexpedient to discuss the matter at this time, was made. Dr. Kynett, the corresponding secretary, opposed this, and said that the communication contained some grave charges against him. and that he was unwilling to rest under such imputations. He wanted the matter discussed, but finally agreed to postpone it for the present and the motion declaring that a discussion at the present moment would be expedient prevailed. Dr. Kynett requested the members of the press not to make any reference to this communication, but Mr. Price, after the adjournment, distributed to the reporters printed copies of his communication. The following are the principal extracts: First, I will direct your attention to some facts in regard to the German work. The large amounts received from and donated to several of the German conferences led me to inquire of some of your members for an explanation. To my great surprise, I learned that no money was received from or donated to the Germans: that the Germans were allowed to collect and distribute their moneys without the intervention of your board; so that when you claim, as a part of your work, the collection of $19,520 in 1883 from the Germans, you swell your receipts to that amount beyond the truth, and by so doing swell your collections to $108,433, when, in fact, you collected only $88,841. In 1884, your claim of having collected $108,759 must be reduced by deducting $19,171, collected by the Germans, your entire collections but $89,588; again, in vour report for 1883 you claim to have given to the Germans $20.693, making your total donation^s94. 518, when in fact your donations were but $73,855, as you had nothing whatever to do with the $20,693 which the Germans disposed of themselves. Excuse me if I suggest that this method of swelling your accounts would not be thought honest in the business world. Is it the province of a great church board to lower the standard of business morals? Are you not misleading the church as to the magnitude of your work? If you would not lose the confidence of all thoughtful people. I beg you in the future to omit from your reports what does not properly belong there.

After calling attention to the heavy expenses of the board and other matters, he mentions several things which he regards as violations of the revised charter of the board, and threatens to call the attention of Governor Pattison to them. He accuses the board of being careless in its management, and refers in sarcastic terms to that part of the board’s report which states that tliej- have $70,000 in “marketable securities,” or, as he understands it. stocks. At the afternoon session no action was taken on Mr. Price’s communication. Dr. Kynett, who lias been for fifteen years the executive officer of the society, said to night: “As the paper is in the hands of the special committee, I do not care to discuss its merits, although the charges can be easily disposed of. Mr. Price has been a bitter enemy of the society from the beginning. His paper is a tissue of misrepresentations which cannot for a moment be sustained.” Domestic Tragedy in Baltimore. Baltimore, Nov. 13.—William E. Stone tonight shot his wife, Julia, and then himself. They were taken to the Maryland University Hospital. Mrs. Stone was found shot through the head, from the effects of which she died in a short time. Stone is shot in the face, but the wound is not necessarily fatal. He left a long, incoherent letter, addressed to the public, in which he said that for twenty years he had lived in heli because of his deceitful wife and mother-in-law, but now that his two eldest daughters were being led astray and his home about to be broken up, he could stand it no longer, and had made up his mind to put an end to his troubles. He requests his friends to take care of his little ones, and put them where they canj be properly raised, and where none of his wife’s relation's can have anything to do with them. Stone has the reputation of being a sober, industrious man, and of having always provided for the wants of his family. He has been married twenty years, and has nine children, ranging from seventeen mouths to eighteen years. Led by a Dream.

ENGLISn’S OPERA-HOUSE—“DAI>’s GIRL.” “Dad’s Girl,” the play presented at English's Opera-house, last night, by Miss Lizzie May Ulmer and her company, is of a character to please the class of theater-goers who are not particularly critical, so long as the plot interests and the dialogue amuses them. It embodies the elements of the popular play in a rather crude form. Mull, the principal character, is a bright and spirited girl, of the wild Western type, uuaccustomed to the manners of refined society, but not to the extent of being rude or immodest. Miss Ulmer plays the part cleverly, although hardly with as much vivacity as the character requires. Her support is fair, the “Dad” of Mr. Harry Wilson and the part of the heroine’s lover, by Mr. Harry D. Clifton, being specially noteworthy. The performance last night evidently was satisfactory to the audience, which was quite large. “Dad’s Girl” will be presented again this afternoon and evening. NOTES. Dick Gorman finishes his engagement at the Zoo Theater this evening, in “Conrad,” with a 2:30 matinee this afternoon. Next week Sid France, in his two sensational dramas, “Marked for Life" and “The James Boys,” will be the attractions. Thatcher, Primrose & West’s Minstrels closed their engagement at the Grand last night to another large audience. For three nights and a matinee, beginning on Monday, the attraction at this house will be “The Fireside Favorite,” Miss Effie Ellsler, in her new play, “Woman against Woman,” in which she has made a very great hit It is said to be a drama of very great interest, stronger, in fact, than “Fedora,” and the part which Miss Ellsler plays, Bessie Barton, is one that is well suited to her abilities. THE CITY IN BRIEF. The Soldier’s Rights organization now has about 500 members.

The Trial of Exum Saint. Exum Saint, the New Castle lawyer, was tried in the federal court, yesterday, on the charge of violating the pension law, by collecting a foe of $93 from Mrs. Elizabeth Needier, a pension claimant The evidence showed that the fee was paid to Saint by a relative of Mrs. Needier, although she furnished the money.
