The customs officers wanted to open the letter-bags ) ■which Mr. Missir was convening to the stea- mer, but desisted on his protesting. A soldier on duty struck him in the face. The affair Squally concerns the English and French Am- ¡ bassadors, who are not likely in the present I Condition of the country to overlook its gravity j A BAPTIST OPINION. I On the resumption of the assembly of the baptist Union delegates at Bristol, to-day (Wednesday), the President, thr Cev. T. Yin- cent Tymms, delivered his address before a large audience. Discussing the nuestion of true and false authority, he remarked that if the Government of Europe had been more al- ( truistic, Armenia would long since have been j championed with something more than windy ■frords. He did not admit that vrar was neces- sary. but if England had been constrained to declare war. it would have been the holiest *"ar, because the most unselfish, that the world I bad ever seen.

FHEE LABOUR CONGRESS. | AGITATORS' PRACTICES CONDEMNED, i "CONTRACTING OFT" SUPPORTED. I At Wednesday's sitting of the l-ree Labour I Conference in Manchester a resolution dealing ^"ith conciliation ami arbitration was carried, °n the motion of Mr. G. Kit-on. Hull. The fesohition, whilst approving of th principle. af conciliation and arbitration as a just and ) P&ciSc method for the settlement of strikes, P&ced 011 record the lirm conviction of the OQgress that the practice of Trade Union Agitators, when defeated, soliciting the int°r erence of leading members of the administra- °tt to act as mediators, wa.s most detrimental o the interests of labour, being calculated to ln°er' rather than promote the true cause of conclllation between employer and employed. ■Mother resolution re-affirmed the motion Passed at three previous congresses on the Em- P overs' Liability Bill, and expressed the hope ■ftiM *'le ^overninen' would not introduce a without making provision for safe-guard- ^8 the interests of those large bodies of work— en who desired to uphold the mutual in- ^^ance societies existing between them and employers.

RESIGNATION OF LORD KOSEBERY. ARMENIA THE CAUSE. I DIS4CREE3 WITH HIS PARTY. PAliilOTiSM BEFORE POUTICS. WILL SPEAK HIS MIND THIS; WEEK. I The Press ASSOCIATION .states that T^RD Rcsebery has addressed the following letter »<o Mr. T. E. Eiiis. M.P.; Chief Liberal V- HIP — "Dalmeny, October 6, 1896. "My dear Ellis,—The recent course of I events makes it necessary to clear the aix. I and myself in apparent difference with a con- siderable mass of the Liberal party on the Eastern question, and in some conflict of opinion with Mr. Gladstone, who must neces- sarily always exercise a. matchless authority in the-.party, whale scarcely from any quarter do I receive explicit support. This situation, except as regards Mr. Gladstone, is not alto- gether new. but in saying this I complain of no one. I regret only that I should appear to divide the energies and try the faith of XU_>ERALS. This question, however, is above and beyond personal considerations. When I speak, which I do THIS week. I must speak my rrind. and speak it without reference to party. Under these circumstances, it is best for the Under these circumstances, it is best for the party AND myself that I should speak, not a.s j a leader, but as n free man. "1. consequently, beg to notify to you that tht leadership cf the party. so far as I am concerned, is vacant, and that I resume my liberty of action. "I can only feel the deepest gratitude and regret in parting from you. and those who. I like you, have given me such lovai co-opera- tion, under circumstances so difficult.—Believe me. my dear EHis, yours very sincerely, I "(Signed) "ROSEBERY." IRISH OPINIONS. The "Dublin Express" thinks that Lord Rosebery has adopted the only course open to ¡ him. and deserves all credit for declining to make the Armenian atrocities a mere party weapon intended to embarrass the Govern- ment. He WAS but a leader in name. I The "Freeman s Journal'' says that tne announcement of Lord Rosebery's retirement rake? no one by surprise. It is the arrival at a point of the road on which he has long been travelling. travelling. The "Independent" says —Lord Rosebery has retired without consuiting his Irkh allies, and without a thought of Home Rule in his head. His successor will BE appointed with- out reference to their views, and if the choico falls upon Sir William Harcourt the last condi- tion of affairs will be worse than the first, for I Sir William Harcourt can never be trusted by any Irishman with a memory and a. knowledge of public events. MR. ELLIS IN WALES. Inquiries at tiie London residence o £ Mr. T. E. Ellis, M.P., the Chief Liberal Whip, on Wednesday night elicited that the hon. mem- ber is in Wales, and that SO iar as was known there, he did not inter.! coming to London until the 15tb inst. As was stated in the "Daily Post" of Wednesday, Mr. Ellis is to take part in the opening of the Llandilo Inter- mediate Schools to-day (Thursday), and :s down to speak botn afternoon and evening.

«n_ I THE CRISIS IN THE TIN- I PLATE TRADE. LLANELLY DISTRICT. THE OLD CASTLE MEN WITHDRAW THEIR NOTICE. The struggle for the 1874 list has already entered upon a new phase in the Llanelly dis- trict. As stated in these columns, 28 days' notices to cease work were delivered on behalf of the workmen on Monday last to the South Wales a.nd Old C?-stIe Tin-plate Works. The notices were not sent to either the Moria, Old Lodge, and Western Works, in the former case owing to the recent long period the men had been out, and IU the latter owing to existing agreements rendering a 28 days' notice illegal. On Monday Mr. J. Maybery, the managing director of the Old Castle, asked his workmen to withdraw their notices. They did net do so, however, but on Tuesday they followed that course, and the notices were v. ithdrawu. In converse with our Llanelly representative an Old Castle workman said that the reason for the proceeding adopted by them was inat they wanted tj know when the Western and Old Lodge intended taking action. They did not want to BE out when the other works in the town woula h* *4 work.

FLOODS IN SOUTH WALES. I I TIDE WASHES OVER THE RAILWAY. I The last day or two have been an unwel- I come repetition of the gale which pr. v-ed so disastrous a oouple of weeks ago. and every- where in South Wales, as well as otner part? of the British Isles, damage in some degree is to be icported. In addition to the high w;nd. j rain has fallen in enormous quantities, and where, but a little time back, people were! complaining of the drought, they are now j witnessing the effects of disastrous floods. The iaaeasing volume of w^ter in the rivers, coviplad with the exceedingly high, tides, has had the result of submerging a great deal of land in the various ports, and much dis- I comfort has been experienced by people whose houses and other property have been invaded by the watery element. At Neath a number of houses have been flooded, and in the Llan- elly district the tide washed clean over the railway A large number of vessels have bad 'I to put into port for shelter, and at the Mum- bles there was quite a.n extraordinary collec- tion of craft of all sorts, some of which made I for harbour with great difficulty, the tugs having all their work cut out with some of the sailing vessels. RAILWAY FLOODED AT LLANELLY. There was an extraordinary high tide at Llanelly on Wednesday afternoon, end is probaoly the highest known for many years. The marsh, ivhieh is generally high and dry, i was converted into a wide exoanse cf water. while a portion of tho Great Western Railway i main lme. which is ssparated fiom The bea:'h by a high wul, was also covarcd. The after. noon express had to "swith" its way through Several feet c. water, and some of the passcn- j gers had rather an uncomfortable experienos. j A gipsy encampment occupyiag a portion near the site of tho proposed new dock fared tven worse. The rising water threatened the safety of the little community, and at last tha I ciwellers in tents had ro run for their lives, talcing their tents and oriier impedimenta with them. At the same time there was a heavy flood in the River Lliedi, and the lew-lying fields near OH Castle-io.id were covered with 4ft. )f water. At Nevill's Dock the water reached the top of the quay wall, and 141 so places washed over it. No serious damage, however, is reported. j LAND SUBMERGED AT KIDWELLY. Wednesday night's tide was the highest seen at Kidwelly for years. Bridge-street was rendered impassable. The river overflowed its banks, and acres of land were submerged. Several houses in Bridge-street were flooded, and great damage was done in the gardens in the same st.-eet. The train due from Llanelly at 6.5 p.m. was delayed an hour owing to the line being submerged. The Kidwelly station- master's (Mr- Isaac's) garden, near the station, was 3ft. under water.

HIGH TIDE AT SWANSEA. LOWER PORTION OF THE TOWN FLOODED. | That portion of the town of Swansea which is contiguous to the sea front, was inundated on Thursday morning to a more or less extent, owing to the extraordinar ily high tide. To show to what an elevation the water rose, 't may bs stated that it extended along Argyll- street up to within about 120 yards of St. Helen s-road. Of course, all the houses in the district suffered from the unexpected visit of the salt water, and many householders had damage done to their furniture. In some in- stances the residents had endeavoured to keep th i water in check by erecting barricades across their doorways, but their efforts were unavall- j ing. There are various indications of the sea's visit, among which are huge piles of sand all along Trafalgar-terrace, whiie in other locali- ties there are large heaps of other kinds of refuse, such its corks, seaweed, driftwood, etc., which are being rapidly cleared away by gangs of scavengers. Perhaps the people who have suffered must from the effects of the high tide I and the accompanying gale, are the bathing I machine owners. It was at first reported that i Reveral of the machines had been carried out to sea, but although this nroved to be incor- rect, they have nearly all sustained more or less serious damage. This was caused by their j being Fwept from their moorings, so to speak, and dashed by the wind and waves agaiast the j sea wall. One or two of the mac^nes had wheels off, whiic severed had doors and sides knocked in. In view of to-night's high tide ¡ they have been removed from the sands into the town. Up to thpresent there has been no shipping casualties reported, but it is stated that a large number of vessels are shel- tering in Mumbles Roads. It is expected that to-night's tide will be even higher than that of this morning, and, therefore, large numbers of people will probably flock seawards to watch the angry billows. VESSELS WEATHERBOUND, Cross Channel steamers are arriving At i Dover very late this (Wednesday) morning. owing to the boisterous weather, and a number of vessels have put in in a damaged condition. I The wind has abated in the Channel, but the Ii sea runs very lugh. SEA WALL UNDERMINED. I iThe old sea wall which has been strengthened ¡ in front of the new Coastguard station at Sandgate was undermined during tiie heavy storm last night, a gap 30ft. square being made. The ground between the wall and the building has been washed out for a distance of 50ft. by 100ft, as far as the foundations of the building. It is expected that the next tide will demolish, the wall. A largo quan- titv of wreckage is floating about the coast. DAMAGE TO HASTINGS PIER. The landing-stage at St. Leonard's Pier was washed away last night by the gale. Wreckage was driven against the iron work of Hastings Pier. smashing five massive iron columns and doing damage estimated at £ 503.

FOLLOWING UP CLUES. THE FOLLCE SLLLL ACTIVE SENSATIONAL RUMOURS, ALLEGED WARNING SENT TO THE MURDERED MAN. Interest in the mysterious murder of the man Jesse Hill at Cwmbwrla is momentarily deepening, and people arc discussing excitedly the probability of arrests being made. The ■ matter is engrossing the attention of the poii- c, who are diligently pursuing tne clues ttiev have in hand. On our fourth page will be iounJ details in addition to what appear below.

A SUSPICIOUS LETTER. DECE^ED RECEIVES A WARNING BY POBT. | .e mystery of the letter rto which, refer- ) ence was made in our columns on Vveonesaay, is now explained, and it turns out to be a most impoitant facto rrin the collection of evidence which is being made. It has trans- pirerd that a fortnight before his death Jesse ILILL received by post a letter rrjisigned, ad- | dressed to "Jesse Hill," warrning him that his garrdeu stulf was being carried away ana ADVISING him to -wau;Jó for the thieves between ten and eieven o'clock AT uigbt. One of tiie Kill family, in speaking of this letter to a "Post" reporter on Thursday said it was fonnd among deceased's letters on Wednesday, AND at on. e handed over to the police and he a.dded that the members of the family knew that Jesse had read it, and when he WA missed on the fatal Saturday it»-was tbis knowledge which led them to go to the held late at night to look for him.

AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT BY AN EYE-WITNESS. MEN SEEN RUNNING AWAY FROM THE CABBAGE FIELD. In the late editions of the "Post" on Wed j nesday evening there was a statement that the police had been acting on what seemed an im- portant clue, it beuig said that three men had been observed running away from the scene < f the murder iate on Saturday evening, hnis (Thursday) monJ:ig one of our representatives discovered the author of the statement—A Mrs. John Thomas, wife of a tinpiater, living at 49, Fern-street, Pentregethin. She willingly gave him an account of her experiences, and re j peaied the story which she had already given to the police. "It was on Saturday night week—Cwmbwrla pay night. 1 had received my husband's wages and at about 8..30 p.m. I went up the field to j call him. For some hours he and his mates had beea jabbering, as they usually did, under the wall of the Cwmbwrl I Schools, which, as you know, adjoins Jesse Hill's garden. It was a bright moonlight night, but occasionally the Xdoncndhidden bdiliiIJhd hhchahvhy hucdl moon wa-J hidden behind heavy clouds. I J cached the top of the STRWT. aud stepped into the field, and I fancied I could hear men talk- j ing, and I called out, "John, John." I was wanting to give him the key of the house whde I went uu to the M%nselton Arms to pay -.10 club money. Directly I called out "John" I heard. some mea in the field between the j cabbage garden and the pond where the body j was found and just at that moment the moon came out bright, and 1 saw three men running as fast as th could go in the direction of Pentregethiu-road, and away from Jesse J Hill's garden and field. They were then not t more than 60 yards from ire and close to the roadway, when they gnt on to the road I couid hear by the noise they made that they all had on heavy boots." "AT what hour did you say tins was?" It was at, half-past eight. I was rather rrightenel as I had a fortnight's pay in ray pocket-£-:>; so I "an away across the field towards the school stile, calling out, "John, John." When I got half way across I heard Faimer William answer me jokingly and say.- "Rwff to you and your John." I stopped tor a minute to speak to him—to tell you the truth I owed him fifteen pence, and I paid him. Further details will be found on our fourth page. I

-w- LORD KENSINGTON DEAD. SUDDENLY EXPIRED WHILST SHOOT- j INC. Lord Kensmgt-on, who was on a visit f.n Floors Castle, Roxburghshire, died very sud- danly on Wednesday aitarneon wbi^st shooting at Crooked&ha-ks. Yetiioim. his lore ship, i v, ho appeared tc be in his usual health, drove 01_:t with a shooting party in the mor'iin^ and UJ tue afternoon vrnne crossing a fence, tie suddenly dropped down and expired, f;ü snd- den the fatal y.izure that bis lordyup had breathed Lis la.-it almost before tliose inline [ liately following him could get to his sida. Dr. Rutherford, of Kelso, has viewed the bodj. • anc is uuaertsiood to have no doubt that deatu was due to heart dijse&se. Telegraphing later, the Kei.&o conespctdeat i of the Cenciai News says :—J he death of Loru Kensington has caused a painfui sensation in the district It appears that his lordship had crossed the fence, and had walked a few paces away, when he was seen to "wgger and fail to the ground. So sudden v. as the fatal seizure thai- his lordship had breathed his last air-iost be;those immediately following hirr; could get to his side. Dr. Rutherford, of Kelso, has viewed the rutly, and is understood to have no doubt that death was due to hccirt disease, as first stated. Lord Kensington sat for many years in the House of Commons, having been returned in until 1885, He was unsuccessful m a ~o.utfc.-t ior die Hornsey Division cf Middlesex in that year, and upon Mr. Gladstone re-gaining ( O-.ver for a few months in lLkib he was made fc peer of the tinted Kingdom and given offics as a Jjord-in-Waiting to her Majcst-. He wa,«. indeed, a Groom-in-Waiting as long ago as 1873, and in the Parliament of 183J-5 served as Controller of the Queens Household. It is. nowever, thieiiy as a Liberal Whip, which otfice he served in virtue of his Court wand, that he will be remembered by our older Par- liamentary hands. He was bracketed with Mr. Adam in all the divisions which closed Mr. Gladstone's Government- cf 12b3.74 and in the Conservative Parliament of 1S74-80- Lord Kensington wa-' a man of extraordinary per- sonal energy, and. in one sense, a serious poli- tician. It may be said of him that., with Sir Cnarles Dilke and Mr. Thomas Ellis, the present Liberal hip, he WM one of the three most rapid walkers known at Westminster in' the last 25 years. To those he liked Lord Kensington was geniality itself. As a rule, he was a severe disciplinarian, and took but unkindly to the gos?ip and social life of the, lobby. He took. for example, an austere view of the duties of a Whip, and on one occasion whiie doing patrol serivce. had a rencontrc' with a well-known follower of Mr. Gladstone, a Welsh representative, though not strictly Welshman, in the present House. The hou. member wished to leave the House. Lord: Kensington declined to allow him to pass through the door. The hon. gentleman con- tested the way, and the Whip had to surrender the road. Lord Kensington seldom re-viute'd ° the House of Commons after his elevation t i the peerage, but one night last session, when the crisis on the Irish Land Bill seemed to be acute, he looked down from the Peers' Gallery He remained faithful to Mr. Gladstone on Home Rule, and died a Libel al. In appearance Ms lordship was not a n an of whom sudden death would be expected, and he will be a disunct loss, to his leader in the t pper House, whom he served as a Whip. The la.te Lord Kensington's famjly name was William Edwardes. title was bestowed in 1776. He was the eldest- son of William, the third lord, by Laura Jane, daughter of the late Cutbbert Eilison, of Hey burn Hall, in the county cf Durham. He was born in 1335, and was. ti.cre.fore, 61 years of age. He suc- ceedfd to the title in 187¿. and married in 1S67 his present wife.

NEW CHURCH CLUB AT i SWANSEA OPENING CEREMONY. A PRESSING WANT SUPPLIED. j ¡I The opening of the new clyb in correction wilu St. Aiary's Church, Ssvausea, wxu -h had beeii looked forward to for sonit liire past with coufciderable anticipatory intercut and pleasure, j took piaoe on Tuesday evening, ihr. club was started four years '>,[TO in 0 tober. 1892. in a small room s»t- the Natio. al school, and hat j pursued "the even, tenor of its way" with more or less success since that time. A want has I been long felt tnat mere c mtcodious and cell- veuient p;em;scs were urgently required by -.je club A favourable oppoii-Luaty preienteh it. soli last year, and tne president, Canon xmith. with his wonted foresight. was dJi: slow to avail hiruseif of it. A suitable place, former ly used as a Baptist chapel, in James-street, was ) offered to hun spontaneously by a Nonconfor- mist: terms mutually satisfactory were arranged, and with the aid of Sir J. T. D. Llewelyn, M.P., and others, the premises were acquired by Canon Smith on behalf of the club. Considerable alterations were necessary to adapt them to then- new purposes. These have been promptly and satisfactorily carried out. by Air. G. Richards. The club now possesses building*, roomy and eminently adapted for the purposes required. Arrangements have been made for gyrnna.st§.s, reading, bagatelle, games of various kinds, and entertainments. J ihe lower room is adapted for recreative pur- poses and -i.h l' upper one as a parish room, tne latter bei. g much needed. By 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday a goodly muster of the mar. bers had assembled for the formal opening. By eight p.m. b twe i; 50 and 70 were piesent, aad i^e arrival of the president, Canon Smith, waa the j signal for a cordial welcome to him.—On the motion of Mr. Cadwaliadr, the vicar was atke-1 to preside. On doing so, he said that it wa> usual on such occasions is the lauxichi g of a j ship or the presentation of colours to ask tho Divine blessing. He would, therefore, ask them to stand while he offered a prayer for God's blessing on their new undertaking. A i short and appropriate prayer followed. The rev. chairman thea detived the inaugural ad- dress, which was replete with wise cou-sel and excellent advice. The rev. gentleman, pointed j out that it was essentially a Church Club, in- j tended primarily for young Chuiehmen, wno, he hoped, would largely join, and thus shoW" their loyalty to their Church and be prepared to hand it down to future generations as their j fathers had handed it to them. The address j was warmly received and enthusiastically ap- i; piauded. Musical honour's being added "û accentuate the delight of the audience, Mr. H. J. Morris followed with words of sage wisdom, tho speaker malting admirable remarks upon the right use of money, time, and health. Ihis address was characterised by its common sense aad practicability, and was listened to with marked attention.—Mr. Evan Jenkins, Paro- chial Schools, followed with a pointed, but brief, address.—Mr. E. Seaile then moved a vote of thanks to Sir J. T. D. Llewelyn, M.P., for his loan of JS500 free of interest, and for) lllS additional donation of £1.00 towards the building purchase fund.—Mr. J. Atkins seconded, and Mr. G. T. Lawrence supported. —The vote was carried with loud applause.— Mr. H. Rees. in a humorous speech, moved a. vote of thanks to Mr. C. Roberts for his gift of and fitting up the handsome picture which adorned the walls.—Mr. G. E. Jones seconded and Mr. Bonham supported, and it was carried with renewed applause.—ill1.

_u- SWANSEA REVISION COURT. THE SIGNING OF CLAIMS. I WARNING BY THE REVISING BARRISTER. J The annual revision court for the Parlia- mentary division of the borough of Swansea was commenced at the Guildhall. Swansea, on Thursday morning, by Mr. W. Denmau Benson, bairister-at-law. It was understood that the proceedings would last about three days. as there were at least two thousand con- J' tentious claims. The interests of the Con- servatives were watched by Mr. H. J. Morris, Conservative agent, Swansea, and the Liberal party were represented by Mr Paten, solicitor, I and MI1. Crocker, agent. The Town-clerk of Swansea was represented by his assistant. Mr. Mr. D. C. John. MR. MORRIS SCORES FIRST. The Conservatives objected to the reclaim of Albert John, Caebadell. Cwmbwrla, on the ground that no authority had been given to the signature of the claim. Mr. Morris said J that it raised a point affecting the whole Cwmbwrla list. He had made inquiries which SHOWED that claims had been made J without authority.—The Revising Barrister You will have to prove that.—Mr. Radford, You will have to prove that.—Mr. Radford, the Liberal canvasser, who signed the claim, gave evidence. He admitted thai he only saw ) Airs. John.—The Revising Barrister: Did you see Albert John?—Radford: No, sir; only his wife.—The Revising Barrister: You must not write people's names without their authority.—Mr. Morris: Shall I ask a ques- lion, sir?—The Revising Barrister No, I :'OU't think it necessary.—The vote was dis- allowed. NO CHANCE FOR JOHN THOMAS. The claim of John Thomas, Cwmbwrla.. was hopeless. Both parties objected, and as John wa.su t present to support it, a dash of the Revising Barrister's pen will now prompt him to go in for a radicai ieform in manhood ¡ suffrage. A LIBERAL CLERK AND CLAIMS. Mr. Morris objected to the clain of George Coatley, 6, Caebricks, suggesting that there had been NO authority to make the claim. The LI-eral canvasser, Radford, said he told the clerk in the office that he had had authority from Gcatlev to write hi* name, aud the clerk I wrote it for him.—2vlr. Morris contended tnat I rhe person who received the authority should be the person to sign the claim. — ihe Revis- ing Barrister did not think there need be any objection to a person who received authority I telling his clerk to sign.
