CORRESPONDENCE. DEA.N DICKINSON AND THE UNITED .KINGDOM ALLIANCE. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—At last night's meeting cf tbe C.E.T.S. held in the Park Hall Dean Dickinson attributed the loss of Mr Brace's Bill to tha action DT the United Kingdom Alliance and the advanced members of the Temperance party. This statement has been made more than once in my hearing, but I have ascertained that it hits io fouuc-iation in fact. Instead of wrecking the Bill, the "extreme men initiated and maintained the only agitation that was made in favour of tbe Bill by holdiDg mesiiiigs aad conferences at Manchester, Liver- pool, Leeds, and other towns. The Bill was intro- duced into the Honse of Commons ou April 3rd, 13(1, and ou May 8th, 1871, just 35 days after- wards, it was withdrawn. What wa.s the reason for its withdrawal ? The attiiude of the United Eingdom Alliance ? No. Mr Gladstone, on Monday, May 8th, 1871, in speaking of the busi- ness to come before the House, said There sti remains a very important Bill. That Bill, which is briefly called the Licensing Bili, is sus- ceptible oi a rough division into two parts—one referring to the subject of licensing and the other to the subject of regulation the granting and condition of licences on the one hand, and the actual regulation and jurisdiction on the other. With regard to the first of these subjects we have been obliged to come to the same conclusion as with regard to local rating. It is not in cur power to bring that subject fairly to issue in a manner to do justice to the subject and to all parties in the House of Commons, and couyequently with regard to that most important portion of the Bill we think the most regular course will be to with- draw that Bill," It is evident that the hostility of the extreme wing "-for there was none— had nothing to do with deciing the fate of the Bill, but simply a question of time. Mr Gladstone went on to say that they hoped to deal with the second portion, and ia 1872 they actually did do so but many of the most stringent provisions of the Bill were altered and modified by another Government in 1874. In the face of these facts how can a gentleman like Dean Dickinson, who onght to be better informed, attribute the defeat of the Bill to tbe United Kingdom Alliance ? Statements of this character are not calculated to bring about the unity which is so much to be desired, If there be any chance of uuity upon Lord Peel's report-here cannot be on the majority report—let nothing be said from our platforms to set aside that chance.—I am, &c., J. TE RTIUS PHILLIPS. U.K.A. Sonth Wales Office, Cardifl, Jan. 27.

THE POLICEMAN'S PATIENCE. He was standing in Pill Mall, at the entrance of the War Office, stolidly and with such dignity that if his lips had been appreciably moving to a patriotic tune that wa.s being whistled by a passing bov he might have been an oiiicial auto- maton. For three hours a considerable crowd had been coaling and going, every item of which had asked the policeman at lea.st one question. The first lull had come, and the policeman was enjoying it-up to the hilt. It was wicked to disturb him, so I preferred to walk through the little arch into tti- yard. He stopped me with politeness and unexpected geniality. Nothing fresh," he said, hasn't been these three hours, since I came on duty." And how many questions have yoa been aaked in the time 1 I inquired. "We was just calculating out the other day," he said, me and a, mate. We did try to count, but, bless you, you get to a hundred questions almost afore you can look round, but on a full night it must be well over a thousand questions OD a three-hours' stand." Don't you get a bit tired of saying Nothing fresh into four figures ?" I asked. Well, you see, sir, it's this way. What ain't fresh to me I reckon is fresh news to them as asks, or there wouldn't be any reason for asking. And besides, what with the paper boys and the old women and the club men, it seems different every time. What I an"t pot up with is that Stock Exchange. The trouble they've cansed me you couldn't believe. If they got to answer the questions I reckon they'd give up telling lies to- morrow, money or no money. And if those as started rumours in other places saw just such a look as is on the faces of them that ask me for what news,' they'd hold their tongues for a twelvemonth." At this point the striking of twelve o'clock mid- night caused a natural pause. As the last stroke died away I asked my friend if he knew South Africa himself. He answered very slowly and with ominous emphasis, I was there in '81. And if we'd done as we ought to 'ave done then I shouldn't be answering questions about this war in Pall Mall to-day. I tell you when we got the order to stop there wasn't a single man in the force who'd believe it-iiot a mau." Well," I said hopefully, we'll hope the head of your force will pull things through." You're right," he said. "Ollr Warren's a tough man to tacicle. I shouldn't like to run him in. He's all right5 and no error about it. Bnt there's my sergeant coming to see if I'm all right," he added jocosely, and I walked up Pall Mall thinking of the good-natured philosophy of the policeman who with unruffled politeness answered 1,000 questions nightly. In truth. they also serve who only stand and wait."—" Daily Graphic."

NEWPORT GUARDIANS. WORKHOUSE DIETARY. The weekly meeting of the KewporC Board ot Guardians was held at the Town Hall on Saturday, the chairman, Col. Lync, presiding. The Visiting Committee reported that at its meeting on Friday the question of the inquiry into the qnantity of eggs and fowls consumed at the Workhouse In- liriiiary was brought forward, and the committee decided, on the motion of the liev. George liar- greaves, seconded by Mr J. Parry that the board, having decide a on the previous Saturday to cir- culate the return made by the medical officer, and it having been supplied to the Press before the committee had time to ex- amine it, such act b?ing unconstitutional and unprecedented, the committee having re- gard to its self-respect could not proceed further with the matter. and requests the board to deal with it. The committee adopted the motion by 11 votes for to 5 against. The Chairman said that the citcamr.tances under which the board decided to supply the report to each member were exceptional, and he thought that the com- mittee might have proceeded with the inquiry. He thought that the report furnished by the medical officer showing the dietary supplied to patients in the Infirmary was satisfactory. He advised the board to accept the report, the doctor having acted within his discretion and authority in prescribing diets for the patients in the Infirmary, Mr T. Dutfield, in moving that the different returns should be receive). ind that the medical officer be thanked for preparing his return, said he was surprised to find that the cost of maintenance in the Infirmary for the last half-year was 3s 6M-d per patient per week, whilst the cost of maintenance in the Workhouse was 3s lid per inmate per week. Mr J. Young, who seconded Mr Dutfield's motion, said that the Workhouse Visiting Committee was divided into two camps, and there was a dell of friction. Mr John Broad, the chairman of the Visiting Committee, said that the cost of main- tenance in the Infirmary was 3s 8 d, and in the Workhouse 2s OAd. At the request of Mr Broad the Clerk read a return showing the number of eggs consumed in one year in the following workhouse hospitals Cardiff, 8,326; Pontypridd, 705: Bedwelltv, ^.56i South Shields. 11,119 Sunderland, nit Swansea, 16,207 Gloucester, 8,884 Siapleton, 17,6SO Eastville 35 360 Newport, 26,304. The report of the committee was adopted, as was also Mr Dutfield's motion.

TINPLATES. Liverpool, Saturday.—The position remains practically unchanged, viz., steady and hopeful. Inquiries during the week have been fairly numerous, and quotations showed rather an upward teudoncy. An order for San Francisco' for a line of 14 by 20 full weight cokes of a favourite brand was placed at 153 7d f.o,b. Liverpool for quick delivery. There were also •some 18 by 14 bought at 15s 6d f.o.b. Wales, with 10 by 20 at a. trifle over 22s. We understand deliveries are slow owing to arrears of work at the mills because of difficulty in obtaining regular supplies of coal. The farther reduction in the Bank rate is a satisfactory feature, and will pro- bably encourage greater heartiness in trading. There is sgaia increased demand for rasters from the home trade, but we cannot learn there la any improvement in prices, which remain at 14a for C W 14 by 20 full weight cokes, with other sorti in proportion. Following is a list of prices: Bessemer cokes—C 14 by 20, 15« to 15s ljd C 14 by 18 and C 14 by 19%. 15s 3d to 15a 6d squares and odd sizes, 15s 4d to 15s 6d basis. Siemens cokes-C 14 by 20, 15s 3d C 10 by 20, 22s 4jd squares and odd sizes, 15s 7d basis; charcoal tins, 16s 3rt and upwards, according to quality and finish aud ternes, 30s 6d per double box all f.o.b. Wales.

NORTH OF ENGLAND IRON. The return of Mr Waterhouse, the accountant, was received in the Cleveland district on Satur- day by the .Board of Conciliation and Arbitration for the North of England Manufactured Iron and Steel Trades, giving the prices and production of manufactured iron for the months of November and December last. The production of rails i9 given at 643 tons plates, 10,016 tons; bar. 13,327 tons angles, 3,677 tons, making a total of 27,664 tons, a decline of 1,500 tons on the previoai return, which may be put down to holiday inter- ruptions. The average net selling price of these four classes of iron is certified, from an examina- tion of the employers' books, to be S6 17s 10'27d, a considerably higher price than for many years past. This price is £1 7s lid above the figure ruling at the end of 1898. The total output of firms connected with the Conciliation Board last year was 160,344 tons. An advance of 5 per cent. in ironworkers' wages is given by this return, making 15 per cent. rise since the beginning of 1899, and In per cent. during the last 14 months.

AFTER A JOURNEY TO KLONDIKE. At Bow-street Police Court Friday HaroUS Davis, very respectably dressed, living at North End, Croydon, appeared in answer to an ad- journed summons, taken out by Thomas Eyre Clatworthy, a civil engineer, changing him with stealing a quantity of jewellery. On the previous occasion it was stated that the complainant in 1897 went to Klondike, leaving his wile aud three children, who were then stay* ing at Upper Bodford-place. He left his wifo JE500, and the jewellery mentioned was also left in the house. In consequence of what he heard. with regard to his family affairs he returned la England in April, 1899, bus was unable to find his wife, and it appeared that she had left home, that she died at a Liverpool hotel, and that certain jewellery was missing. Mr Charles Webb, a public-house broker, oi Croydon, the father of the deceased, said he wai; aware of the relations that had existed between the defendant and ilis daughter, but he did not see the defendant until December 20th last, wheii he g-ve him a p.rrel containing the jewellery mentioned in tbt .amons. He did not make any claim to the jewellery, but wished to delivet it to whosoever was entitled to it. After this explanation counsel said that he would withdraw the summons if the jewellery was handed to the complainant. This was agreed to. and Mr de Rutzen allowed the summons to be withdrawn, remarking that he considered it was a very sensible termination to the case.

ATHLETICS. MIDLAND COUNTIES CROSS- COUNTRY JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP. At Worcester on Saturday the first of this year's county championships wa.s decided over an eight-mile course, the event being open to cross- country clubs in the Midland counties. The line of country taken was very hilly, and the perform- ance of A. J. Owen, of the Small Heath Harriers, who finished first in 3Smin. 21sec., was, therefore, very fine. Next to him came A. Turner, of the Worcester Harriers, in 49min. 17sec., followed by H. Firth, of the Leicester Harriers, in 49min. 25sec. Tbe result was a win for the Small Heath Harriers with 57 points, the Brickfield Harriers (who won last year) being second with 113 points, Leicester with 132 points being third, Rodley' (Northampton) with 138 fourth, and Edgbaston with 142 fifth. Kettering with 229 points was sixth, and Longrport with 291 seventh. The Worcester Harriers only finished five men, and so could not score.

A GRUESOME DISCOVERY. ? Mr A. Braxton Hicks held an inquest on Friday at Wandsworth Town Kali on Charles Inman (30), labourer. ft'm. Kobinson, a labourer em- ployed at tbe chemical works of Messrs Levy Bros., The Causeway, Wandsworth, stated that there was a disused crushing machine at the works, and on Tuesday evening while following hie employment he noticed a smell emanating from a box underneath the crusher. After digging away a great quantity of earth he discovered the • body of Inman. No doubt the man had, got into thei)oxto,-Ieep,a.; several sacks and old coats were under the body. To get inside the box he must have crawled through a hole 2ft. by 18in., aud then turned round by a hopper, ths interior J of the box being S-shaped Dr. Spencer Roe, the acting divisional surgeon, who had made a post" mortem examination, said the man haa the appearance of haviug ben dead since the be- ginning of the month. The cause of death wat suffocation occurring in a man with a weak heart confined in a small space. The Coroner said it was extraordinary that a man should have chosen such a place to sleep in, but the probability was that he bad beeu there before. It might be that be purpasely stopped up tho means of ventila- tion, but there was no evidence on tliat point. The doctor who had made the autopsy in extemèly unpleasant surroundings bad suggested that bo should be paid an extra fee, but he regretted to say that the law did not allow him to pay it, Ibe jury returned a verdict to the effect That In- man was found dea.d, bat that there was not suffi- cient evidence to show bow the suffocation WW brought aboat." «

As soon its a cough or cold makes its appcj,ranee a dose of TUDOR'S BALSAM is at once administered, and its treatment is followed up until' the cold disappears. Before using the BALSA: in our family tho children have been prostrate with colds for beveral weeks, but now, by taking doses as directed, b liev seem to suffer very little inconvenience During the short time the cold is upon them the action of the BALSAM is marvellous, and the little, ones take it readily ana ask for more.—WALTER J.
