FIGHTING NEAR LlAO-YANG I
FIGHTING NEAR LlAO-YANG I Japanese Columns Mowed Down I ST. PETERSBURG, M on a ay. A telegram of to-day's date from Mukden ?ya that 600 men, who were wounded on the 26th inst., were yesterday despatched northward. They belong to the 10th East Siberian Rifle Brigade and to the 9th and 35th Divisions. The Japanese on the 26th attacked our centre and left flank in the hope of surprising us. The enemy's columns advanced without firing, and then attacked with the bayonet. They sustained heavy loesee. A particularly successful operation was 1. executed by the 139th Saraiek Regiment, which with a battery turned unperceived the extreme right Hank of the enemy and at- tacked them in the rear as they, turning the left flank of our troops, were themselves about to attack. Whole Japanese columns were mowed down, and eye-witnesses give accounts of the fanatical bravery of the I Japanese soldiers. Many wounded men were seen to disem- j bowel themselves in order that they might I not fall into the hands of the Russians. I THE BATTLE DESCRIBED I Great Japanese Losses I ST. PETERSBURG, Monday. Dispatches received here from the seat of war in Manchuria state that on August 27 gun fire was heard at Liao-yang along the whole front of the operations. The Japanese were advancing from all directions, including the west, along the Liao, The Chinese at Liao-yang are removing their families owing to the expected attack. An independent account shows t-hat during the fighting on August 25 and 26 the uni 3d forces of Generate Kuroki and Nodzu were hurled against the entire east front of the Russians, with the object of forcing a pas- sage to Liao-yang. The operations began on Augnst 25 at Erdacne, one Japanese division and a half directing their fire on Liao-dsin-tan. A strong force was despatched to carry onrt; a turning movement on Tu-sin-pu and Tak-hu, for the purpose of seizing the Pu-sin-tuin and Ko-fyn-tsa road. This movement was checked by Cossacks, and the Japanese force wa". sub- sequently repulsed by infantry and artillery. The Japanese agmn came to the attack, this time more furiously than ever, throwing themselves on the Russian centre and left flank in an attempt to turn the latter. This part of the fighting stew-bed at ten at night, and continued with ever-increasing masses a.nd vigour until one in the morn- ing. With the Valour of Desperation I the Japanese charged the Russian positions I with the bayonet, shouting "Banzai!" All their attacks were repulsed with enormous losses, especially in one part of the field, where they were completely routed, leaving heaps of dead and abandoning rifles and knapsacks. The Russians pursued them into I the hills. The Japanese loesee here amounted pro- bably to 2,000. At four o'clock in the morning the Japa- nese Reserves came up, executing their move- ments as if on parade. Their advance was covered by an Inferno of Artillery I Three hours previously the Russian began to retire without calling up their Reserves, and evacuated the An-ping Pass and Miao- lin, Si-andia-tze, and Tsekhu, and occupied positions beyond these points. The Russian Jones for the two days were about 1,500. The Japanese losses are believed to have been much heavier. The Tamboff, Orel, and Brianak regiments most distinguished themselves. The retreat was covered by a charge of the Caucasian Brigade, whose sword scattered the Japanese, notwithstand- ing the great losses sustained in men and horses. Colonel Kharanoff received two wounds in the ohest and two in the leg and head. Prince Bekowitch JIsoherk-aseif, ohief of the Xa-bardin Sotnia, which was the last to leave the An-ping Pass, was also seriously wounded. On the morning of August 27 the Japanese began to bombard the new Russian positions on the east. The Russian artillery replied, and the duel lasted all day. The losses of the Russians were email, owing to the excellent posting of their bat- teries, the fire of which was most effective. On August 27 Kuropatkin visited the hospital of the Community of St. George and deco- rated many of the wounded. The Commander-in-Chief is described as being in excellent spirits, laughing and joking with the officers and men. I [Press Association Special Service.] I ST. PETERSBURG, Monday. All teegra-ms point to the imminence of fighting on a larger scale and importance than hitherto. A Liao-yang dispatch of yesterday s date contains the following words: "The enemy are concentrating around us. Whether we shall meet them here or remove our base elsewhere cannot be said for the moment. The troops await the expected decisive battle with the utmost confidence. The order to retire and concentrate towards Liao-yang, which was given to the troops on the east front on the evening of the 26th, came as a disheartening surprise, inasmuch as the Russians have hitherto checked the Japanese advance, and were even assuming the offensive on the left flank. Indeed, it was anticipated that the whole force would advance on the 27th. "It became known later that it was the precarious position of the 10th Corps, espe- cially Herachman's division, on the extreme left, which prompted the order. The principal losses of the Russians were in the 10th Corps, a large proportion of them be-ingr officers. The retreating troops waded through a sea of mud amid a blinding rainstorm. The difficulty of removing the artillery and im- pediments was stupendous' Behind them lay a mountain torrent and a narrow pass, through which the Japanese had constructed a road during the Chinese war, and the I Russian ranks were all the time exposed to the enemy's fire.
FORTRESS TAKEN I
FORTRESS TAKEN I A St. Petersburg Rumour I fPress Association Special Service.] I PARIS, Monday. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the "Petit Parisien" telegraphs under yesterday's date: -A report was current this evening that Port Arthur had been taken by the Japanese, who, at a cost of a loss of 15,000 men, had succeeded by a furious assault in carrying the last defences of the fortress. The report, however, has received no confir- mation. A telegram from St. Petersburg to the "Echo de Paris" says that after the capture of Mount Sischan the Japanese attacked Port Arthur on the 26th just. The assault was once again repulsed" a.nd the Russian artillery severely pounded the Japanese, who sustained enormous losses. The Chi-fu correspondent of the MMant+i- n,, telegraphing on the 28th inst., sayF3:A lette?, dated the 24th inst., which has arrived here by junk, states that Pigeon Bay had not been taken on that date, but ??rt .?Arthur had for &ve l,, aYs undergone an xtremely violent bombardment by the Japa.ne8e firing on the forte and on the harbour. The town did not suffer very much.

PORT ARTHUR S FALLf
PORT ARTHUR S FALLf CANNOT BE LONG DELAYED I [Central News Special Service.] I jniu-ohvvang (via TIEN.TSIN), Saturday. The news of the fall of Port Arthur is daily-in fact, hourly-expected here, in spite of the stubborn resistance of the Russian troops. The women and children have all left the doomed fortress, and very severe I fighting is constantly proceeding. [Central News Special Service.] I PARIS, Sunday morning. A Chi-fu dispatch to the Matin states that the Russians who have come from Port Arthur report that the Japanese army which is attacking Port Arthur has been reinforced to the extent of 30,000 men in less than three days. The Japanese also have 20,000 men con- stantly waiting at Dalny in readiness for the final assault. It is stated that the Japanese losses before Port Arthur have been caused more by shrapnel from the Russian guns than by mines. PREPARING FOR THE FALL I [Central New. Special Service-I I ROME, Monday. A Chi-fu telegram to the "Agenzia Libera" says that General Stoessel, realising that the fall of Port Arthur is imminent, is concen- trating provisions, ammunition, and troops in the forts of Liao-ti-shan and Tiger Hill, which are considered impregnable. The civil population will also be sent to these forbs, which, it is believed, will hold out long after the town has fallen. MESSAGE FROM GENERAL I FOCH [Central News Special Service.] I ST. PETERSBURG, Monday. The mother of General Foch has received a message from her son, who is now in Port Arthur. He says that he is quite well, that they have plenty of stores, and that Port Arthur wil not surrender. MORE FORTS TAKEN. I State of the City Can Still I Hold Out. [Press Association Special Service.] I CHI-FU, Saturday. The Japanese attack on Port Arthur on the night of the 22nd resulted in the capture of the Poyodo fort, midway between Taku-shan and the eastern defences. The Poyodo mounted only two guns when in possession of the Russians. The assault was preceded by heavy artillery fire from Taku-shan, where the Japanese have big naval guns in posi- tion. The Russians loet considerably before they were compelled to retire. The Japanese have reduced another fort immediately east of the railway, but have not occupied it, as it is situated behind a moat which the Japanese have hitherto in no instance been able to cross. I have obtained this information from an intelligent Chinaman who was in Port Arthur from the 21st inst. to the 24th. He believes that the Russians will successfully resist the besiegers for some time yet. The Japanese, he says, have been unable to occupy It-shan, although they constantly made feint attacks with the object of cover- ing the activity of their engineers. Meanwhile, with tremendous labour they have raised the summit of the smaller hills behind It-shan to a level with that eminence by means of sandbags, and have mounted guns on it. These guns materially assisted in the reduction of the fort east of the rail. way. This fort is the northernmost of the eastern line of defences, and, with the other positions which have been reduced or occu- pied, renders the Japanese position in the vicinity of the railway full of menace to the Russian troops. It is obvious that the Japanese expect to enter Port Arthur from the north. From the same Chinese informant I have obtained confirmation of the news of the Japaneee att-ack from Louisa Bay described in my dispatch of the 18th inst The Japanese, it appears, swept from Louisa Bay past Pigeon Bay up to Liao-ti-shan, the van. guard, numbering five or six hundred men, penetrating on foot as far as the highest hill in the peninsula, incidentally capturing an uncompletied battery on the west shore of Liao-ti-sban before retiring. During their attack the Japanese fleet carried out a demonstration against the main Liao-ti-shan fort. This Chinaman confirms the news of the silencing of the smaller fort near Golden Hill by the fire of the Japanese cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga. He states that the Japanese line on the west is approxi- mately three and a half miles from the European new town, where, though there has been no general conflagration, numerous small fires have broken out. When he left there was still firing going on. He estimates the strength of the garrison at 15,000 effec- tive men. On the 23rd the Russians captured four Japanese spies within the fortress and shot them. Since the 21st the Russian warships have ceased to fire on the besiegers. On the 22nd Japanese shells fell in the dockyard, doing considerable damage to the machine shops and men's quarters. Chinese, with the exception of authorised servants, are not allowed in the European town, the Russians being afraid of their act- ing as spies. Only the Chinese shops are still open. The lack of vegetables is seriously felt. RUSSIAN COMMUNICATION I REPORTED CUT [Press Association Special Service.] I TOKIO, Sunday. The General Staff has maintained silence throughout the day concerning the fighting in the vicinity of Liao-yang. It is reported that General Xuroki has seized and cut the rail- way south of Mukden. thus separating the two Russian armies, and cutting off the direct line of retreat from Liao-yang. This report, how- ever, has not yet been confirmed. The fighting reported around Liao-yang is regarded here as preliminary to the larger contest in the immediate neighbourhood of the town. It is expected that Generals Oku, Kuroki, and Nodzu will speedily press the attack home. RUSSIAN CRUISER 8 MOVEMENTS A big cruiser of the Hamburg-American steamer type, with three funnels, and flying the Russian war flag, passed the Great Belt yesterday, escorted by two Eu-ssia-n torpedo- boats. Her name was not distinguishable, but she is supposed to be the Teretz. The cruiser started at full speed north- wards for Skagen on her way to the Atlantic.

MINERS' - MINIMUM!
MINERS' MINIMUM! SOUTH WALES DELEGATES I, IN CONFERENCE Support of Scottish Workmen 1 To-day at the Oory Memoria.l-ha»ll, Cardiff, a special conference of delegates of lodges of the South Wales and Monmouth shire Miners' Federation was held, for the purpose of con- sidering what steps should be taken in view of the attack upon the minimum Wa.&1''aJt-e of Scotch miners. Mr. W. Abraham ("Mateon"), M.P. (president), presided over 241 delegates, representing 111,119 mtiners. The reason for the reduction in the number of d-elegates is that the ennemn and stokers have left the Federation, while there are also about 2,000 miners who, being out of employment in the West, are exempted from rep-re- sentation. The conference was also arttended by Mr. W. Brace (vice-president), Mr. Toon Richards (general secretary), M'r. Onions (treasurer), and the whole of the members of the council. From the time the conference met, at 10.30, until 1.30, when the assembly dispersed, con- sideration was given to the recommendation of the executive council, which met at Cardiff on Saturday, to the effect that discretionary powers should be given to the Southport dele- gates -,o act as they may deem best in the interests of all parties, after hearing any arguments which might be advanced for and against the recommendation of the council. The President opened the proceedings by explaining t;he position and referring to the steps which might be taken in rega.rd to Rule 20 of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, which gave power to members in the federated area to terminate contracts i- the event of the employers in any district' attempting to reduce the minimum. We understand that "Ma.bon" advocated pecuniary assistance in preference to a general strike, and gave reasons why such a course was likely to be more effective than the putting in force of Rule 20. The resolution, however, which the council re- commended was of a non-committal character. It would allow the delegates to the Southport conference to exercise their discretion, but probably another conference of the South Wales miners would be held before any definite action was taken. After speeches by Mr. W. Brace and others, a general discussion ensued, in which diverse views were expressed by the delegates. Even- tually the resolution was put and carried by a large majority. "Mabon" then appealed for a unanimous vote, and this was heartily given.
Mother's Heroism I
Mother's Heroism I KILLED IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE HER CHILD A sad accident occurred on the railway between Comrie and St. Fillan's, Perthshire, on Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Allan Smith, wife of an overseer at Dunira, ha-d crossed the railway by a path leading from her house to the public roac to get some goods from a van. While engaged in speaking to the van- man she noticed her youngest child, a-ged twenty months, coming across the line, and, hearing an express train approaching, rushed back to the little one, and had, apparently, just reached it when both were struck down by the train and instantly killed. Both bodies were shockingly mangled. Mrs. Smith was 27 years of age.

It appeared that the defendant had pledged the suit of clothes with Mr. Freedman, pawn- broker, of Tonypandy, for 10s. Defendant had gone upstairs for a rest, and subsequently the articles referred to were missing from the boxes of the other two men. When arrested by Police-constable Clynch at Treorky on the charge of stealing the clothes and chain, the watch was found on defen- dant's person, and when charged with the offences he remarked, "I am very sorry. I was drunk when I did it." The defendant, who repeated the plea that he was drunk. was committed to take his trial, bail being accepted.

On Sunday a fleet of thirty boats were engaged in the search for the remaining five bodies of the Lough Neagh disaster, and suc- ceeded in recovering two of them, namely, John Frederick Green, of Belfast, and Frank Pottifer Catchpole, of Guernsey. The first- na.med was ffrund by a fisherman's boat at! 4.30 by large fishing hooks on wires, and was fully dressed, the coat being Urattoned. The second was recovered by the same means at about six o'clock, but, in strange contrast to tht former, was almost nude. From this it is surmised the young man had made an attempt tQ swim to ehj
POCKET -PICKING 1
POCKET PICKING 1 PURSES LOST IN NEWPORT I MARKET I A Confirmed Thief Sent to Gaolj A middle-aged woman, named Elizabeth Turner (the wife of a soldier at the barracks), who lives at 67. Power-street, Newport, was brought up before the Newport magistrates to-day charged with pocket-picking, in the provision market, on Saturday night. Detective-sergeant Cox stated that, in a number of complaints of thefts at the pro- vision market, he went there on Saturday night, in company with Pol ice-constable Cal- dicott, to keep watch. At nine o'clock they saw the prisoner enter the market and make a tour of the stalls. Wherever ehe saw a Email group of females she would stand behind them, and on several occasions they noticed that the dresses of the women moved whilst prisoner was near. At length Sergeant Cox saw prisone.r put her hand into the pocket of Mrs. Theodocia, Watts, and after- wards put it back into her own pocket. Mrs. Watts, on being spoken to, reported that she had lost three pence in coppers, and when prisoner was searched the coppers were found loose in her pocket. She made no pur- chases herself. On one occasion, when i a woman whose dress had been disturbed outside a confectionery sta.ll, turued round and looked at her, the prisoner said to the stall-holder, Put me half-a-pound of those biscuits." But whilst they were being weighed she walked .away and did not return to pay for them oir taive thesn. There were, added Detective-sergeant Cox. complaints of three or four purees being stolen every Saturday night at the market. He kept ofo- servation upon the prisoner beoo.use of the previous history which he knew of hex, and | ?com har actions on Saturday nighst he con- eluded that she was an Expert Pick-Pooket I On his asking several of the women whose dresses he had seen interfered with if they had lost their purse. they said they kept it in their hands, as they had bad purses stolen before. Pol ice-constableCalidoott having given s-iini- lar evidence, Mrs. Watts, wife of a. lavourer living at 2, WheeleT-street, stated that she aflso had her purse stolen at the market, and since t-hait occurrence (about two months ago) ehe had always kept it in her hand whilst in the market. But she had fourpence in coppers in her pocket, being under the impression that no one would take that. She confirmed the evidence of the police as to the loss and find- ing of the money in prisoner's pocket. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and said her hus- band was going away to India in a week. She, therefore, asked the bench to deal leniently with her, so that she might not be separated from her family. After consideration, the presiding magis- trate (Alderman Moses) said the bench had before them the fact that this was not the first charge of the kind against the prisoner, and the amount on the previous occasion was much larger than the threepence of the present charge. Her actions showed that she was a confirmed thief. They sent her to prison for two months.
BRISTOL STEAMER DAMAGEDI
BRISTOL STEAMER DAMAGED Board of Trade Inquiry at Cardiff Judgment was delivered this afternoon at Cardiff Town-hall in the Board of Trade inquiry into the stranding of the s.s. Done- da.le, owned by Messrs. Lucas and Co., Bristol, on June 16. The vessel was bound from Bari, in Italy, for Taganrog, and was stranded on the Ilchan Ka.i Rocks, off the south-east coast of the Crimea.. Mr. W. T. Lewis delivered the judgment, in which it was found that the master (Wiliam Lawrence) did not take pro- per measures to ascertain the position of his reasi, a-nd that for eighteen minutes before the accident occurred her navigation was left solely to an A.B. at the wheel. The master's certificate was suspended for nine months, but in consideration of his long and honourable career, the court recommended that a first- mate's certificate be granted him. Mr. Parsons (Messrs. Vachell and Co.), represented the Board of Trade.

I SURREY v. SOUTH AFRICANS 1 Tf.e twenty-fourth nxture of the South African tour was against Surrey, and the game began at Kensington Oval shortly after noon today in trcpical weather before a capital attendance of spectators. The South Africans were without the serrioes of their captain (Frank Mitchell), for whom Middleton was substituted, while Baker and Goatley played for Surrey Instead of Lees and Bailey. Surrey won the toss, and on a fast pitch started batting with Hayward and Raphael, to the bowling: of Korze and Sinclair. With only 22 runs scored Kotae clean bowled Hayward, and five later Hayc-3 ran himself out. JHce left at 52. Baphael played splendidly, scoring 56 out of GO in sixty-five minutes before being bcrwled. Subsequently, Surrey performed most indifferently against the bowling of iCotae and Tancred, and at lunch nine wiciets had fallen for 141. Score:— SURREY. First innings. Second innings.

Yorkshire won by an innings and IS runs.] With a return of summer weather, the Scarborough Festival opened this morning under the most favour- able conditions, the sun shining at the time from a cloudless sky. As usual, the first of the three fixtures is the match between the home county and a team representing the M.C.C., the Yorkshirem"n being opposed to an exceptionally strong side. With the district free from rain for some days, the game opened on what appeared to be an excellent wicket, and in the presence of a large attendance of spec- tators. Having won the toss, Yorkshire began batting with Jackson and Wilkinson, to whom were opposed Bosanqtret and Hearne. Runs came reaùily-in fact, the scoring was so rapid that the first 50 was sig- nalled at the end of twenty minutes. This brought on King for Bosanquet, but, though Thompson was tried in place of Hearne, and Kapler also bowled, the 100 was reached in the hour. The cricket continued to be of a bright and attractive character, and the total was carried to 146 before Jackson was easily caught at point. Ha was in eighty-five minutes, and hit seven 4's. Denton joined Wilkinson, and at lun- cheon Yorkshire had made 179 for one wicket. Score:— YORKSHIRE. First innings. Second innings, Jackson, c Thompson, b Napier 71.

SUSSEX v. KENT I [Result of corresponding match in 1903:—Sussex, 2831 and 233 (for two wickets, inaiagS closed); Kent, 287 and 73 (for five wickets). Drawn.] The Sussex team commenced the last of their engagements this season at Hastings to-day in glorious weather, when Kent, who effected a draw in the first match during the Tun bridge Wells Week, were the visitors. With the single exception that John Seymour re-placed Latham, the home county relied on the same eleven that was so badly beaten by Middlesex, while of the Kentish side victorious over the South Africans Fairservice gave way to Dillon. Fry's bad luck in tossing clung to him, and Kent batted first on a fast wicket with Hearne and Humphreys, to whom were opposed Relf and Cox. There was a capital attendance at the start. Batting briskly, the pair subscribed 40 ere Humphreys was caught from a skier at slip. Day soon left to a catch in the slips, but upon Dillon joining Hearne runs came freely. Smith went on for Cox at 77, but, proving expensive, retired for Leach. At lunch the score stood at 115 for two. I Score:- ÄENT. nrst innings. Second inuin9. A. H<uTie,n&tout.? .°.

"TICKLING ANTON"1
"TICKLING ANTON" 1 Servant girls in one of the most fashionable suburbs of Berlin are (says the Berlin oorre- spondent of the "News of the World") talk- ing with bated breath of the doings of "Tickling Anton," a personage whose faze none have seen, but whose long, lean fingers many have felt. The scare began cn Sunday week last, when a maid named Mina Bielefeld returning from her evening out, was sud- denly pounced on and pinned from behind and t.ickled under the chin and armpits. She screamed lustily, and her assailant made off down the empty street. On Monday three more servant girls, in the same district, complained of having been caught and tickled by "Anton," and on Tuesday and Wednesday there were seven complaints. On Friday an elderly cook ran shrieking to the police-station, asserting that she had been tickled almost to death by an unknown man. An hour or two later a nurse, in the service of a retired Oberst, thrust her head from her bedroom window and screamed "Mur- der." She had, she declared, been awakened by a curious, tickling sensation on va,rious parts of her body, which re-commenced as ,soon as she composed herself to sleep. Lying quiet for a- moment, she saw a man wriggle from under her bed and slowly make his way across the floor to the open window. Then she fainted.
SAD PEMBROKESHIRE CASE I
SAD PEMBROKESHIRE CASE I Before Sir Chas. Philippe and other magis- trates, sitting on Saturday at the Shire-hall, Haverfordweat, a respectable-looking young fellow, giving the names of Geo. Porte and Geo. Cla.rk. an engineer, was charged with obtaining 3s. by false pretences. Prisoner went to the house of Archdeacon Williams, at Steyn-ton, and, finding the archdeacon and his family away, he told the servant that his father was a clergyman and a friend of the archdeacon's, and that he had stayed at the Rectory for a week. He was taken into the house and given some tea, and he succeeded in obtaining from one of the servants 3e. towards his fare to London. This was given him on his state- ment that he was a friend of the archdeacon, who, however, said the prisoner was a total stranger. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said he was apprenticed to an engineer in Liverpool, from whom he ran away a month ago. Sir Charles said the bench were sorry to see a young man of his appearance in that position, and to give him a chanoe to retrieve hie character they would fine him iClO. Prisoner: I could pay in a week. The Bench, after conferring, said the I prisoner must go to gaol for two months in the second division.
BARRY TEACHER'S DEATH I
BARRY TEACHER'S DEATH I A young lady, n&med Miss G. Magdalene Forbes Eoberteon, daughter of Mr. Robert- eon, of 65, Oourt-road, Barry Dock, died with painful suddenness on Sunday morning. Miss Robertson, who was an assist-ant-teacher at Holton-road Council School, Barry Dock, had been spending a holiday with some friends in Scotland, and returned home on Saturday evening. During the night Miss Robertson complained of feeling unwell, but, inasmuch as she revived somewhat after a while, it was not thought by the family that her condition was serious. In the morning, however, she was found dead in bed, the probable cause of death being apoplexy. Miss Robertson, who was 28 years of age, wae much reepected. An inquegt -will be held.

I Cardiff - Steamer. i
I Cardiff Steamer. f IN COLLISION OFF THE I LIZARD. The steamship er, of 4,000 tons. belonging to Messrs: Evan Thomas, Rad- cliffe, and Co., Cardiff, was in collision on Sunday with a vessel supposed to be the Russian steamer Eerakles off the Lizard. At the time there was a heavy fog, and there was some excitement on board, j I The IJanover, on which was the captain's j wife, proceeded to Cardiff. She was not badly damaged. I The Eerakles is of 1,171 tone register, bound j from Cardiff to Cronstadt with coal. She put into Plymouth Sound on Sunday, and reported having been in collision at half-past five that morniug four miles south-west of the Lizard with a steamer whose port of registry was Cardiff, but whose name could not be ascer- ] tained. The Cardiff stearoer, which was in ballast, struck the Russian amidohips on the starboard side with great force, causing' a big indentation from the rail to about four plates below the water-line, ajid starting and breaking rivets and springing plates. The contact was eo great that the crew of the Herakles, their ship being loaded, thought she must sink, and the lifeboats were got into the water. Finding that the plates were not broken, the crew got the boats on board again and the steamer made for Plymouth The Cardiff eteamer offered assistance, but it was not needed. The damage to the Herakles was surveyed in the Sound, and she was ordered into the Great Western Docks for survey and repairs. t —
-TARIFF REFORM.I
TARIFF REFORM. I The Duke of Devonshire, speaking at the Jubilee Show of the Craven Agricultural Society at Skipton on Saturday, referred to the difficulties of the Royal Agricul- tural Society and similar organisations, and appealed to the public to support farmers and landlords in their efforts to support agriculture. He urged the extension of co-operation among agricul- turists. He fancied that the talk of agricul- tural depression did not at any rate; extend to labourers, for the farmer's difficulty was to get labourers. The emigration of labourers to the towns was probably due to the past educational system, which trained labourer's children as clerks or shop assistants. He hoped the new education system would remedy this. Referring to tariff reform, he said that when farmers were told higher prioes were the only remedy for depression they should consider that they must pay higher prioee for every- thing they bought. Parliament could not do miracles. He advised self-help. LORD LONDONDERRY'S VIEWS. Lord Londonderry, addressing a Primrose gue demonstration at Stockton on Satur- day, said the position of the Government was stronger at the conclusion of the session than it was at the commencement, bet he did not hesitate to say that if the dissensions in the ranks of the Unionist party were allowed to continue over the fiscal question they must look forward to the next general election with feelings of the greatest possible apprehension. The whole Question of fiscal reform had been rushed too suddenly upon the people of the country, and the Unionists ought not to allow it to jeopardise the great points of their constitution. What should be required of the Unionist candidates with regard to the fieca-l Question was simply that they should adhere to the policy laid down by the Prime Minister at Sheffield last October.
