The Outrage on King George. SECOND ASSAILANT CAPTURED. Full Confession. J ATHENS, Wednesday.—Great satisfaction has been caused by the news that the second assailant of King George has been arrested on his own confession, and that in consequence there is every reason to believe that the whole mystery of the dastardly plot will be exposed. This evening a contractor, named Bekiari, presented him- self at the Chief Police Office, holding by the collar a rough looking young fellow, whom he introduced as John Giorgii, a navvy in his employ. M. Bekiari, it seems, suspected Giorgii, after reading the descrip- tion which his Majesty gave of his would-be assassins, and ultimately he extracted from him certain admissions which left no doubt of his guilt. Thereupon M. Bekiari himself played the role of policeman and took Georgii into custody. When handed over to the police by his employer, Giorgii was in a parlous state from nervousness. He admitted that he was the accomplice of Korditzi in his murderous design, but earnestly protested that he was a mere tool in that ruffian's hands. He further declared that Korditzi dragged him into the business at the very last moment, and that he a.greed to join in the murderous work only after long hesitation. Despite the abuse and threats of Karditzi, he only fired one shot at the King, and his Majesty was quite correct in stating that he, Giorgii, was so nervous that his hands shook violently, and he trembled so that it was quite impossible for him to take aim. It is pretty certain that there will not be much difficulty in extracting from Georgii all that ho knows. What is the actual extent of his in- formation has yet to be determined. The police have reason to believe that the secret club, of which Karditzi was a member, had intimate relations with a gang of Anarchists at Fatras, all of whom belong to the lowest class. Karditzi was again examined to-day, and continued his boastful demeanour and inflated language. He remarked to the examining magistrate. I am the best of the lot, anyhow." Central firewi.

An Italian paper notices a case of remarkablo arithmetical power which was brought before 1. Society of Anatomy and Physiology at Bordeaux. A young man of twenty-seven, possessed, since he was ten years of age, the power of counting the letters constituting sentences, thought, spoken or written. He felt obliged to count them and the continuous enumeration caused no fatigue, The letters of the words that he enumerated seemed printed befere his eyes. The month of the year and the day of the week seemed simi- larly impressed; January and Monday in bright white, subsequent months and days in deepening shades of grey, until December and Sunday, which appeared black. A funny little story of Sir Henry Irving ia told by Mr Alfred Darbyshire, the Manchester thea- trical architect, in his book just published, An Architect's experiences." When Henry Irving w&s playing Hamlet," a member of the stock company at the Manchester Theatre Royal, Mr Darbyshire, an excellent amateur himself was very hot, and after being consigned to oblivion, I was sitting on a table behind the t apestry, and repeating the well-known words, "Thou rash, intruding fool, I took thee for thy betters,' he gave an agonised look, and, sotto \oce, exclaimed, For goodness sake, get me a pint of stout I'm as drv as a limekiln.' This from the Prince of Denmark' startled me, and for some time I failed to take in the situation."

DEFENCES OF WELSH COAL PORTS. In th House of Commons on Tuesday Mr D.-A. THOHAS asked the Financial Secre- tary to the War Office if he can state the sums expended during recent years upon,our coaling stations abroad, and what amount, if any, is avail- able for further expenditure, what amount has been expended on the defences of the South Wales coal ports, and in the event from any un- foraeen cause of a stoppage of supplies from thess ports what sources of smokeless steam coal are available for the Navy and for stocking coal- ing stations. Mr POWELL WILLIAMS Since the year 1885 about 11,700,000 Las been expended on works and armaments for coaling stations, of which a con- siderable proportion has been contributed by the Indian and Colonial Governments. To complete the sum £ 250,000 remains to be expended in the same period. Seventy-two thousand pounds has been spent over Milford Haven and X16,000 on the Bristol Channel. The hypothetical questions as to coal are rather for the Naval authorities than for the War Office.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF WELSH LITERATURE. This was the subject of a cultured aadresq given at the Public Hall, Llandilo, on Monday evening in connection with the Young Peonie s Guild by Mr Edgar Jones, M.A., hen-cl master of the Intermediate School. Speaking of the Renaissance, he said it was a most remarkable fact, that struck him with the utmost astonish- ment when he first realised it, that in Wales, even as early as 1330, the very characteristics of the Renaissance, which;were not found in English literature for quite two centuries later, were most clearly apparent in Dafydd ab Gwilvm and Rhys Goch ab Rhiccent and the nest oi singing birds which followed in their wake, in whose writings I were to be found an intense delight in beauty for its own sake, a frank, almost childish, pleasure in the loveliness of nature, &c. It was Rhys Goch who probably originated the gracefully poetic practice of sending birds as love messengers to the lady love. He regretted that we had in Wales, in modern times, at any rate, almost lost all sense of the appreciation of colour, otherwise our literature would be far different, nor would we any longer have to complain of the total absenc9 of the fine arts, especially of painting, in Wales.

ARTILLERYMEN POISONED. I A few days ago thirty men of the Royal Artillery at Hilsea. Barracks, Portsmouth, were taken suddenly ill with symptoms of arsenical poisoning after partaking of dinner, and all were in such a, serious condition that they had to be sent into hospital, where they are satisfactorily recovering. Some vinegar which the men had nsed at dinner was suspected, and the sample which was submitted to analysis was found to contain arsenic in poisonous quantities. The matter will be investigated to-day (Wednesday) by a conrt of inquiry.

BURIAL SCANDAL. I Oa Saturday a peculiar and painful incident happened at the funeral of a young woman from Llanarth at Henfynyn. Aberayron. Th?; j funeral procession arrived at the chinch, when, to the consternation of relatives and friends, it was found that no clergyman was in attendance. They waited an hour and a half for the arrival of the Rev. J. M. Griffith, the vicar, who had been duly notified, but he did not attend or send any- one to officiate, and the body was buried without the service, one of the bystanders simply giving out a hymn.

I The Miners' Fund. I THE NEW ARRANGEMENT. I Opinions on the Scheme. Intelligence published on Tuesday exclusively in these columns, that upon the Compensation Act coming into force the colliery proprietors should be invited to contribute sixpence per week in supplement of the 3d per week paid by the members of the Miners' Provident Fund, has been the subject of general discussion. The value of the work done by the Provident Fund is universally recognised, and though we have from time to time found it necessary to criticise the constitution of the board of management and its action with regard to certain relief funds, we have always borne unstinted testimony to the great value of its services to the mining community. Obviously, it will be greatly to the advantage of the miners if an equitable scheme can be arranged for contracting out of the Com- pensation Act. The sole point, as we observed yesterday, is whether the suggestion which the Board of Management makes would secure for the employers the whole of the amount that the men are entitled to in exchange for the agree- ment to contract out. At present, in order to escape the operations of the Employers' Liability Act. the masters add £ 25 to every iElOO contributed by the men to the funds of the society, and in regard to the new Compensation Act the proposition of the Board of Management would ensure that the masters would add E171 for every YlaO contributed by the workmen. Apparently our paragraph yesterday did not cover the whole ground, for we did not fully disclose all the additional benefits which the society has in view for its members should the employers and workmen agree to the scheme now put forward. Y/lth the additional 5d per member contributed by the employers the society could, it is felt, inaugurate a system of old age pensions, a system which the Board of Manage- ment have long been desirous of introducing. Hitherto, however, the difficulties as regards funds have been insurmountable, and the idea had perforce to be abandoned. TherA is no question that with the workmen generally old age benefits would be very popular. Again, the increased contributions of the employers would assure tDO financial stability of the Provident Fund beyond question. Among those who are anxious that some mntual arrangement shall be arrived at between employers and workmen in the Welsh coal trade that will secure peace and harmony and the avoidance of litigation when the new Act comes into force there is much satisfaction felt a.t the measures now adopted by the Board of Manage- ment, which it is felt can. as a neutral body, do much to promote an equitable and workable scheme. There is, however, at the moment a tendency to suspend judgment as to the merits of the new scheme until the fullest possible informa- tion is available as to the exact details of the proposals. INTERVIEW WITH MR EVAN OWEN, J.P. One of our representatives on Tuesday called upon Mr Evan Owen, J.P., the secretary of the Monmouthshire and South Wales Miners' Pro- vident Fund. and invited him to confirm or otherwise the outline—published exclusively in our columns that morning—of the new proposals formulated by the Board of Management with reference to the Workmen's Compensation Act, which will come into force next July. Mr Owen, however, was by no means communicative. He admitted that there was nothing to complain of in our article, but, he added, he could not con- sent to discuss the details it gave. As a I matter of fact," said Mr Evan Owen, "my lips are sealed. Though your article is slightly pre- mature, I may tell you that this matter has for some time pa3t engaged the very serious atten- tion of the Board of Management. They have attempted to formulate a scheme that will be fair and equitable all round, and one that will be beneficial and satisfactory both to workmen and employers." j SUGGESTIONS FROM MONMOUTH- SHIRE. A Monmouthshire correspondent writes Little value is attached to the assurance that the workmen's representatives on the Board of Management of the Miners' Provident Society look favourably upon the new scheme under con- sideration in view of the workmen contracting out of the Compensation Act. There is a very general disposition amongst members and non- I members alike that the proposals of the board, so far as they have been divulged, would not afford the workmen all they are entitled to under the Act, bearing in mind that the minimum cost set down by the employers as the result of the new legislation would be 3d per ton. One sugges- tion which is much favoured is that the accredited representatives of the men of South Wales and Monmouthshire should be taken into the confidence of the board, and that whatever scheme is formulated should be submitted to a general conference of the workmen. The>-e is also a strong feeling that the constitution of the board should undergo radical change, especially in the matter of the representation of the work- men, who demand a greater measure of control of the fund than in the past. Others are inclined i to favour the idea of taking advantage of the Act, and devoting the fund to meeting the first two weeks following an accident, not provided for by the measure, unless the masters are prepared to deal justly, if not too generously, with them. One objection, too, and perhaps the chief, of non- members is that they are not willing to lose their clubs and benefit societies, inasmuch as they get nothing out of the Permanent Fund in case of sickness. Many of these therefore support ihe proposal to take advantage of the Act. Generally the opinion is that whatever scheme is proposed every advantage should be afforded the workmen i- of considering the details before any step is taken of a binding nature.

j DINAS POWIS RIGHT OF WAY. I Public Demonstration. The chamnions of the alleged right of the public to the use of the footpath at Dinas Powis over the fields between Spring Cottage and Llan- dough Baptist Chapel are making every effort to induce the District Council to re-open the ques- tion. It will be remembered that as a result of a local inquiry held by the Council it was decided not to take any further action in the matter owing to the strong conflict of testimony as to the existence of the alleged public right of way. The advocates of that right demand a new and further investigation by the Council ou the ground that the inquiry was in- complete, a large number of witnesses being precluded from attending oVling to the short- ness of the notice given of the inquiry and the I inconvenient hour at which it was held. The persistence and enthusiasm of Mr D. R. Morgan in the matter are beginning to infect the public of the locality concerned, and the demonstration of Tuesday gave evidence that the question is at length being taken up iu earnest by the great bulk of the inhabitants. A small handbill in- dustricusly distributed during the few preceding days brought on Tuesday evening a large gather- ing of the residents to the number of between 200 snd 300 to the neighbourhood of the Merry Harrier Hotel for the purpose of asserting the public right to the use of the path by walking in procession over its whole length. This was duly accomplished in the most orderly and peaceable manner and without the assertors encountering any opposition. The only incident in the nature of a challenge was when the vanguard of the I procession entered on the land owned by Mr Shepton, where a representative of that gentle- man reminded them where they were and asked for the names of a few of the leaders, which were duly given. Following the demonstration a crowded public meeting was held at the National School. Dinas Powis, Mr D. R. Morgan presid- ing. The Chairman read letters sympathising with the movement from Mr D. A. Thomas, M.P., Mr Herbert M. Thompson, Alderman W. H. Morgan, Alderman W. J. Trounce, and Miss Gertrude .Tenner. The last-named wrote :—" If I live until this day week I shall be 63, and I have known this footpath as a public one from my childhood, nd when there were only two houses -it The Chairman said there were al- together between 70 a.nd 80 witnesses who were prepared to testify that the path was an un- doubted public right of way. "Councillor E. Thomas. J.P., Cardiff, said he was satisfied that a prima facie case had been made out for the public in the matter. Their District Council I appeared to have dealt with the question in a very half-hearted and gingerly fashion, and they would b3 quite justified in appealing to the County Council to take the matter up, for that authority under the Local Government Act of 1894 could assume the powers of the District Council in the matter if the District Council failed to do its duty. (Applause.) On the motion of Mr Robert Harry, seconded by Mr Morris, Parish Councillor, a resolution was carried unani- mously condemning the closing of the footpath, and calling upon the District Council to ma!ke a fresh and fuller inquiry into the matter, and to take such other steps as might be necessary to enforce its immediate re-opening. The resolu- tion having been supporto by Mr Ben Greatrex and Mr J. Edwards, the meeting afterwards ter- minated. Farther signatures were obtained to a largeiv-signed memorial to the District Council urging the object set forth in the resolution.

I South Wales Coal Trade. I GRAVE Posi riON. I Sensational Rumours in the Rhondda. A mining correspondent writes: It is rumoured in the Rhondda Valleys that a number of most objectionable and indiscreet proposals are included in the amendments which have been submitted by the Coalowner3* Association to the workmen's representatives in respect to the revi- sion of the Sliding Scale agreement. For the past week or two, although the six months' notice to terminate the Scale was drawing to a close, the miners generally treated the matter somewhat indifferently, but the rumour that the employers propose such sweeping and objectionable changes in the Scale has altered the situation of things. Now it is stated that the employers propose to reduce the basis of the agreement from 83* per cent. on the standard to 7 per cent., and also to abolish Mabon's Day or the monthly holiday, and also take away the extra turn paid, and which has been paid from time immemorial, to night workmen for working nights, and further to demand the miners to contra-ct out of the new Workmen's Compensation Act. These proposals made by the employers, according to rumour in the Valleys, have considerably irritated the miners, and no doubt will cause a great commo- tion among them should they be enforced by the Coalowners' Association. Nearly all the collieries in the Rhondda Valleys are belonging to the association, and throughout South Wales the great majority of the collieries are belonging to it. Of course it was natural to expect that the coalowners would have a card up their sleeve, but nothing of this kind was an- ticipated. The coalowners will, no doubt, withdraw their proposed amendments, because the men will not accept any of them. The fact that the miners are not financially strong from an organisation point of view will not prevent a conflict or a strike. STOPPAGE OF PENCOED COLLIERY, LLANELLY Alderman David Evans, J.P., Llangennech Park, repudiates the responsibility which was cast upon him that the stoppage of the Pencoed Colliery, Llanelly, was due to him. Our Llanelly representative learned from Mr Evans on Tues- day that he had written to Nevill. Druce and Co. threatening to publish the correspondence between them unless he was exonerated from all blame. NEW TREDEGAR. Notices for the termination of contracts were posted at the top of the pits at the Powell Duffryn Company and other collieries on Tussday morn- ing, and in addition thereto notices were served upon every workman with the exception of enginemen, stokers, and firemen, as well as a few others who in case of a stoppage will be abso- lutely required. The general opinion is that the difficulty will pass off in an amicable and peace- ful manner. MOUNTAIN ASH. I On Tuesday morning notices were posted up at the top of each colliery in and around Mountain Ash terminating all contracts on the 31st of March.

AN ACTRESS'S SUICIDE. I Au inquest wa3 held at Liverpool on Tuesday on the body of Emma, Sophia Homfray, an ac. tress, who. upon the death of her husband in the hospital, jumped from the window of an hotel and was killed. She left a note for her brother-in- law as follows Finey asked me to go with him, and I am going. Good-bye. I cannot be a burden to anyone. Bury us together, and forget poor Ella." A verdict of Suicide whilst of ¡ unsound mind was retarned.

I YANKEE YARNS. I Took Pity on Him. I happen to know how closely pity is akin to love," declared the prosperous merchant to some of his cronies who were enjoying his hospitality in the library. 111 can draw upon personal ex- perience, and am not left to the uncertainties of theory, At 22 I was as love-lorn a youth as ever heaved a sigh or wrote doggerel ditties. She was pretty and sweet and smart and all that. I was big and awkward and undeveloped. But no one was ever hit harder. I mooned, was never happy out of her sight, and robbed my sleep to baild castles in the air with her as the presiding princess. Girls are always more mature and wiser at that time of life; but she was tolerant and considerate, for blind devotion from any man is flattering to any woman '• Time and again I had fixed for proposing' bnt my courage would ooze as fog yields to the sun. and she had a tactful way of changing the subject whenever my language was headed towards the fateful question. But one evening the crisis came with an irresistible rush. I have no idea of what I said, but I proposed and pleaded and swore that my life was in the balance. She refused in the kind way women have under such circumstances. I was mentally wrecked for the time. Rushing into the hall I hustled into the old gentleman's hat, her brother's overcoat, and her mother's overshoes, seized her umbrella and started, as funny a looking object as any made ap for the stage. She called me back, laughing through her tears. helped me to replace the stolen property, called me a dear foolish boy, and took me into the parlour again. She is now in the next room playing with the children." Had Enough. I Before Slims was fairly dressed for breakfast he gave the telephone a terrific ring and scared the hello girl from her stool by the roar in which he announced the number wanted. Is this the furniture store he yelled with the same waste of lung power. Send me up a single bed, right away. What's that ? I can't give you a diagram. Send one that'll hold a six year old boy. Colour ? Anything but black or red. Just take my order. I don't want to stand here and hold a joint debate. Send up :the bed. And. say, put in springs and a, mattress, and have the springs strong enough to hold a pile driver." What's the matter, dear ?" asked Mrs Slim-, who had been attracted to the telephone. Wo have no place to pnt a single bed. What's it for r Don't yon interfere now. That bed's coming and it's going to be set up if we have to put it in the reception hall, and Jiramie is going to sleep in it. That's the word with the bar], on it. I purpose to die a natural death and to keep in some condition to support my family while I'm permitted to live. That boy can't sleep with me any more. Understand ? He thrashes around like a shark in shallow water, and I will condemn no one to slesp wth him." But he has Of course he has, and I intend that he shall, but he's got to do it alone. I haven't had any sleep for sixty days. I thought I'd get used to it, but when you get into a. doze to find one foot braced against your nose and the other under your neck, and when you seek to straighten him out he tries to kick your head off, you have insomnia.. I know when I've had enough, and that bed is going to be set up. before I leave the house, and it's going to stay up, and Jimmie is going to sleep in it. Understand ?" A Train Robbing Story. t The drummer had just finished reading a story of a train hold-up, and let his newspaper fall into bis lap. I had a rather romantic experience once with train robbers," he said, which I think I won't ever forget. I had been laid up sick for a week ill a Kansas town, and my attendant had been a very sweet aud gentle girl, who was a relative of the landlord's. She was such a nice girl that I was in no hurry to get well, and while I wa3 putting it off all I could I was as industriously putting on the chains of love. At the end of ten days I was able to take my sample case again, and when I left the town my gentle nurse wa3 on the same train, in my charge, bonnd for Kansas City, where she was to be met by friends. I had never talked love to her, and I fancy she didn't susnect me of anything except a desire to flirt a little; but I had made up my mind to talk seriously to her before I let her friends take her away from me. I fooled along, as most men do under the same circumstances, waiting for a real good chance to come in, but before I reached the prcper condition the train came to a sudden stop in a lonely place, and by the time we bad asked what the trouble was a half-masked train robber stood in the aisle of the car with a revolver covering the contents. The girl turned &3 white as a sheet and I thought she would faint, but I tcld her she wouldn't be hurt, and she sat there staring as if she had turned to stone. As it hap- pened, I kept my wits, and when a shot and a shout rose oil the air ontside and attracted the robber's attention for a. moment, I whipped my revolver out of my overcoat pocket and would have got him sure, but as I brought the gun around, the girl at my side caught my arm and stopped me. I looked at her in amazement. •'•Don't,' she gasped, I it's my father,' and then she fell ia a faint, while the robber hurried out in response to the calls from his partners. As for me," concluded the drummer, I thought probably it would be jaat as well for me not to add to the poor girl's troubles by trying to get into her family."

DEATH OF THE SWANSEA SCHOOL BOARD INSPECTOR. A painfully sudden death occurred at Swansea on Tuesday evening. The deceased is Mr Cole, the chief inspector of Board schools, and principal of the central classes for pupil teachers. He has been in failing health for some months, but was on Tuesday evening apparently all right. He got into a tramcar at the hospital with the object of going to a Church meeting. Nothing was noticed till the car got to the top of Dillwyn-street, when it was observed that his head was inclined on one side. The attention of the guard was called to the fact, and the car was stopped, and Dr. Davidson was sent for, and pronounced life extinct. The car was then sent back to the hospital terminus, and the body was thence carried home on an am- bulance. Mr Cole. who was advanced in year3, was an one time head master oi the National I .Schools, and for several years hM ably filled the position of inspector of the Board schools and head master of the central classes. At a meeting of the Free Library Committeo the sad event was referred to, and it was said the deceased I was lbe first librarian of the town. A vote of condo- lence with his family was passed, on the motion of Mr Chapma.u. seconded by Mr Hosford. I
