THE LATE STRIKE.
THE LATE STRIKE. Who Introduced Soldiers into the District P WHAT THEY DRANK. At the quarterly meeting- of the standing joint committee of the Glamorguu Quarter Sessions md County Council held at the county offices ihis afternoon, the Clerk (Mr. Franklen) said he Vad received from the clerk to the stipendiary taagistrate at Merthyr the account payable Oy the county for the housing and feeding of the "troops quartered at Merthyr. The charges were :-For food, Is. 5Jd. per head for lodg- ing, Is. 3d.; or 2s. 8Jd. per man, and he asked the committee to pass cheques for the total .amount of X158 18s. 2d. The Clerk added that this was the only bill of the kind he had yet received. Mr. R. W. LLEWELLYN, J.P., proposed that the account stand over until the next quarterly meeting, when the whole of the accounts for quartering the troops would have been received. Mr. SIMS seconded the motion, which was -agreed to, the bills as they came in to be examined by a sub-committee, which was ap- pointed for that purpose. Mr. DAVID DAVIES did not in the least object to the presence of the troops opposite his place at Merthyr—(hear, bear)-but there was one item of JE10 for ale which he hoped the sub- committee would bear in mind. (Laughter.) Colonel FRANKLEN asked who ordered the troops, and who was responsible for their com- ing, because it seemed to him that no billeting arrangements bad been made. Mr. BLANDY JENKINS explained that the military came to Merthyr and Aberdare in con- sequence of the requisition of the magis- trates of those places at a meeting, and he wished to say, once for all, that that meeting was not attended by a single col- liery proprietor, or anyone connected with col- lieries. (Hear, hear.) It was simply a meeting of civilian magistrates—eight or nine of whom were present—and in the interests of the public safety and public peace they thought it well to get the soldiers down on that particular Saturday. One thing he wished to say without the least hesitation—and he did not believe anyone would contradict it—viz., that if the military on that day had not been at Aber- dare and Merthyr there would have been very serious rioting and destruction of property. The consequence of the arrival of the troops was that tho demeanour of the population changed at once, and they had no breach of the peace. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DAVID DAVIES wished to say that in his opinion the magistrates had acted wisely in the course they bad taken. (Hear, hear.) It was not always he agreed with the magistrates—(a laugh)—but he thought that in this case they had acted most discreetly and prevented such disturbances as had recently baen reported from the North of England. Mr. BLANDY JENKINS asked who ordered the troops to Bridgend-not the magistrates, so far as he knew. There was no necessity to bring troops to Bridgend. He lived close to two or three collieries, and in the midst of the men, and the only policeman they had in the place was taken aWtty. They might have been robbed if loafers had taken advantage of the dispute. The disturbances were at Abergwynn. The subject then dropped.

RAILWAY FACILITIES. Cardiff Psople Think Competition would do Good. At a meeting of the Cardiff County Council this morning Mr. Robert Johnston reported to the council the result of the conference of various bodies at Newport on the question of providing increased railway facilities between Bouiii Wales and London.

Nothing, however, would be done now until the "Mth of this month, when the committee would .eat.
- LETTER IN THE "TIMES"
LETTER IN THE "TIMES" Reminds the Cardiff Corporation that they have Interests to Protect. At a meeting of the Cardiff County Council this morning- Alderman Carey called attention to a letter in the Times by Mr. J. Hennilcer Heaton on the subject of the signing of an agreement between the Postmaster-General and the National Telephone Company. Several of the larger towns—Manchester, Glasgow, and Liverpool, had taken the matter up, so as to protect their interests and not allow their streets to be torn up at the will of the telephone companies. He proposed that the clerk com- municate with other municipalities, so that, if neoeesary, joint action mig t be taken in the matter.—This course was agreed to.
SHEBEENING AT CARDIFF.
SHEBEENING AT CARDIFF. An Old Offender Pleads that She Must Get Her Living Somehow. At diff Police-court this morning Catherine Bridger was charged on a WIll" :ut with selling beer w thout a licence at Milton-street on June 26,1892. —Prisoner pleaded guilty, and Inspec- tor Hay ward explained that at the time a war- rant was issued for her arrest, but she ab- sconded.

ENGLISH COAL WAR.
ENGLISH COAL WAR. Men Adopt a Policy of No Surrender. RESULT OF THE BALLOT. A ballot has been taken in the various dis- i lets within the area of the Midland Federation, which comprises Warwickshire, Pelsall, Blox- wich, Cannock Chase, North Staffordshire, Mon- mouthshire, Bristol, Somerset, and the Forest of Dean, and the delegates will be instructed to support the decisions at the Nottingham Con- ference on Thursday. The results of the voting have not been tabulated for all the districts, but it is considered certain that a majority of the men have voted against accepting any reduction of wages, and a large majority are in favour of allowing work to be resumed at the old rate of wages, whilst a considerable minority have voted in favour of arbitration. The cold weather of the last few days has largely stimulated the demand for house coal and Birmingham merchants have received inti- mation of further advances ranging from Is. to 3s. a ton. Sir Alfred Hickman, M.P., who is a large coalowner in Staffordshire and Warwick- shire and a member of the coalowners' com- mittee, has publicly offered to bring before the coalowners any proposal emanating from the miners' leaders, offering by way of compromise to accept successive reductions of 5 per cent. in lieu of a general reduction of 25 per cent., but without stipulation as to fixed advances of wages. Ten Thousand Men Go tn. A telegram from Haaley states that 10,000 miners resumed work this morning at the old rate of wages pending the settlement of the dispute between the owners and the Miners' Federation More Trains Stopped.

THEATRES AND DRINK.
THEATRES AND DRINK. Mr. Edward Fletcher Applies for a Licence,for the Theatre Royal. At a meeting of the Cardiff County Council this morning a letter was read from Mr. Edward Fletcher asking for permission to supply excisable liquors to the patrons of the Theatre Royal. He bad been led to take this course by the frequent and con- tinual applications which had been made to him from time to tim& by the theatre-going section of the public. He wished to point out that the provision of refreshments on the pre- mises was urgently required in the public in- terest, and great inconvenience was also expe- rienced by theatre-goers in being compelled to leave the building to obtain what they required. This was specially noticeable during cold and inclement weather. In support of the application he pointed out that it was the universal practice in all theatres of importance to supply liquid refreshments to their patrons. If the privilege were granted him he would undertake that the liquor should be consumed only during the hours for which the theatre was open for stage purposes. Mr. J. JENKINS opposed the application, not from a temperance standpoint, but because he did not believe in monopoly. There were licensed people outside who had to pay very heavy sums for licenses, and he-thought people who catered for public amusement should be satisfied with the profits accruing therefrom and leave other people to attend to their business and get a fair share of profit as well. Alderman CAREY thought this was a question which should go before the theatrical committee of the corporation. He proposed that course be adopted. Mr. H. WHITE seconded the proposition. Alderman JACOBS pointed out that the matter was mentioned to the theatrical committee, but they thought the application ought to come before the council as a whole. Alderman SANDERS contended that the thea- trical committee could not deal with an applica- tion of this sort. He had not had a large experience of theatres himself, but he asked whether it was not a fact that the most respec- table theatres in London were giving up the supply of intoxicating liquors, and for very obvious reasons. (" No.") He spoke strongly against the granting of such a licence at Cardiff. Alderman CAREY said he was sorry Alderman Sanders had gone out of his way to discuss this question. When the matter was fully before them and they had proper information to go upon then would be the time for them to form their own opinion. The question had been somewhat sprung upon them that morning, and they wanted information, so that they could do what was right towards the people who visited theatres. To his mind it was a most amusing thing to hear people advancing an opinion about theatres when they did not go there, and did not know anything about them. He was a faddist on one side, perhaps, but Alderman Sanders was a faddist in another line. Alderman SANDERS contended that Alderman Carey was out of order in moving that the matter be referred to the theatrical committee. That committee was appointed for a specific purpose, to see that the bye-laws and regula- tions were strictly complied with. Mr. H. YÝJUTE asked for the production of the bye-laws. Alderman CAREY pointed out that a dramatic licence unless there was something to the contrary carried a drinking licence, only there was some understanding with Mr. Fletcher that he should not put it into operation. The DEPUTY-TOWN-CLEBK said a theatre- licence was substituted for the certificate of the justices, and the lessee of the theatre was en- titled to obtain a certificate from the Excise authorities to sell drinks on the premises. The licence in this case was granted subject to certain regulations. Clause 11 provided that no intoxicating- liquors should be sold or allowed to be consumed in the theatre. Alderman JACOBS said that was only a bye- law. If Mr. Fletcher did sell they could not take proceedings against him. Mr. B. JOHN said he should like fuller infor- mation. He thought they ought to know exactly what power they had, and act accor- dingly. The DEPUTY TOWN-CLERK said the licence- holder obtained first the certificate of the licensing bench, and then the certificate of the Excise authorities. There were certain exceptions, and the lessee of a theatre was in the position of one of those exceptions. He did not require to obtain a certificate from the justices. When he had his licence he was entitled as a matter of law to go to the Excise authorities and take out his licence to sell intoxicating liquors. If, however, thoy asked his opinion on the bye-law he told them it would probably be held to be ultra vires. If Mr. Fletcher sold intoxicating liquors, when he came to the end of his licence it might be refused on that account. That was no doubt the reason why Mr. Fletcher came before them. Mr. HENRY WHITE, after reading the bye.. law, contended that Alderman Carey was in order in making the proposition he had. Mr. ANDREWS proposed that the matter be deferred until the next council meeting, and that the town-clerk be requested to obtain informa- tion as to what was done in other towns and other theatres. Alderman CORY seconded the proposition, and Alderman CAHEY having withdrawn his motion the resolution was agreed to.

Mary Ann M'Namara seems to have a. penchant for whisky, and on Saturday last this desire for "rye-juice" led her into trouble. Mary Ann went to the Vulcan Inn, Adam-street, Cardiff, and climbed on to the counter.

CORPORATION CONTRACTS.
CORPORATION CONTRACTS. Hand-dressed Stone To Be Worked in Cardiff. At the Cardiff County Council this afternoon Mr. W. Crossman, in accordance with a notice of motion, proposed the following resolution :— That on all corporation contracts the contractor shfiil cause all hand-dressed stone, except granite and marble, required on the said contract to be executed within the borough, or on the site of the said* contract. He pointed out that his object was to give the workmen of the town the opportunity of doing as much of the work as possible.—Mr. F. L. Short seconded the motion.—Alderman D. Jones opposed, but the resolution was ultimately car- ried with only three dissentients.

The priest, who was called in to administer the last Sacrament, soon afterwards developed similar symptoms, and now lies dangerously ill. The medical report states that the illnesses were due to drinking impure water, but whether the latter was infected with cholera germs has yet to be ascertained. An examina- tion of the water is to be made. Death at Retford. Mr. William Goodliffe, a publican, died at Retford on Sunday, after a few hours' illness.

PARLIAMENT.
PARLIAMENT. House of Lords Meet Early This Morning. The House of Lords met at 11.30 this morning -a very unusual hour-with the result that only ten peers and a single bishop were present. Lord Kensington occupied the Lord Chancellor's place on the Woolsack. A Standing Order having been suspended for the purpose, the Consolidated Fund Bill (No. 4), and the Navkl Defence Act Amendment Bill were passed through all their stages. The second reading of the Women's Suffrage Bill was moved by Lord Denman in a single sentence which was unheard because of the faintness and tremulousness of his voice.

Lord Sudeley put a question regarding the sanitary condition of the cavalry barraoks at Windsor.

Business in the Commons. Now that the Home Rule Bill has disappeared from the Order Papors of both Houses, the attendance of hon. members in the Lower Chamber is very limited indeed. When the Speaker took the chair at three o'clock there were hardly a score of members present, and as the questions proceeded this number was scarcely doubled. Notice had been given of 22 ques- tions, but several of these were postponed owing to the absenoe of the Chief Secretary for; Ireland.

BOOKIES BEWAIL. i Punters Have Twisted the S.P. Men a Bit. BENT BUT NOT BROKEN. It is getting close on the end of the racing I season now, so an Express man had ( chat the other day with one or two of the leading South J r Wales layers," with the object of, if possible, ij learning how things had gone with them this season. The first question put was What sort of a season has it been for you, taken all through ?" li Bad! blarmed bad!" came the answer like a shot. Indeed!" I said. Why, there has been a few turn-ups for you, hasn't there P" A few! mightily few. Why, look how the beggars began the season at Lincoln. Wolf's Crag was backed all ends up, He was absolute favourite until two days before the race, and they backed him hot and strong right up to the finish. Of course, one or two had the worst of the price, but, then, they had the best of the result. Next came the Grand National, in which Cloister and JEesop were the only pair backed, and they finished first and second. Dare Devil for the Chester Cup, Orvieto for the Jubilee, Amandier and Medora, Isinglass for the Guineas, Derby, and Leger-they were all public horses. I give you my word they have 'bent' us a bit this year." What were your best big racesP" Oh, the City and Suburban, which King Charles won-that was in reality the only 'facer' backers have received this year." And the victory of Siffleuse in the One Thousand Guineas did not do you any harm, I suppose?" No but then it did not do us a lot of good. You see, the event was a post betting one, and there was very little speculation on it before the oay of the race, consequently we had no money n our books for any of the horses." Ah, weH, you've got the back end handioaps to make your winter's keep over." Yes, true; we have got the back end handi- caps but if we are going to depend on them for our winter's keep I am afraid we shall starve." Still, I suppose you'll keep up the motto F" What's thatf- Often bent but never broke." "Well, we'll try, although they're twisting us a bit at present, I promise you."

MISSING FROM THE ALBION.
MISSING FROM THE ALBION. A Malay Found in Possession of Articles Claimed by the Captain. At Cardiff Police-court this afternoon (before Dr. Paine and Mr. F. J. Beavan) Florencio Olivera, a Malay seaman, was charged with stealing a clock, a pair of trousers, two vests, a pipe, and a knife from the steamship Albion, lying in the West Dock, the property of Chas. Harrison.—Bute Dock-constable Kingsman said he saw prisoner on Sunday in Collingdon-road, West Dock. He was carrying some of the articles, and thinking something was wrong he took prisoner into custody. A purse and half a sovereign were missing. — Chas. Harrison, master of the Albion, identified the articles as the property belonging to him, and which he had left in his cabin.—Prisoner pleaded that he found the articles in the dock, and he was com- mitted for trial at the quarter sessions.
CORPORATION HORSES.
CORPORATION HORSES. Alderman Jacobs Contradicts a Stat3ment. At a meeting of the Cardiff County Council this morning, on the minutes of the health com- mittee coming up for consideration, Alderman JACOBS referred to a speech of Mr. F. L. Short, reported in the Western Mail, in which that gentleman stated that the cost of maintaining the corporation horses had been decreased from 23s. lOd. per horse per week to 13s. 9d. There was not an atom of truth in regard to the higner charge. In 1891 the cost of maintenance waa 14s. or 15s. From July to December, 1892, it was 16s., and from January to June this year it was 17s. 6d.. In June, July, and August this year the cost was 13s., 13s. 10d.,and 14s. 7d. per horse per week respectively. Mr. F. L. SHORT said he made the statement, and he adhered to it. He called attention to the matter in the council, and he challenged the accuracy of his figures, but nobody took the question up. He obtained his figures from the minutes of the finance committee, and he found that while the cost of fodder had inoreased 20 per cent. they were paying 45 per cent. more for the maintenance of the horses. Alderman JACOBS said he should bring the matter before the health committee, and he 111- vited Mr. Short to attend.

SPORTING. ...-
SPORTING. Venator's Weekly Notes and Anticipations. OZAREW'ITOH PROSPECTS. The vexed question of Isinglass's staying ^powers was definitely settled on Wednesday, last, and o^i.r: again the book worked out to the letter wft^v Isinglass, Ravensbnry, and Le Nic .am f-lqght their Middle Park Plata; battle ovwand with exactly the same- I result. iHthough the verdict was but half a, length., this must not be taken as showing the difference between Mr. M'Calmont's colt and Ravensbury. Khartoum made the pace in a. way that exactly suited the son of Iaonomy, and when iLoates brought him to the front just after passing the rifle butts he came striding along magnificently, and won with the greatest of ease by a distance that could have been increased at Loaoes's pleasure. It is stated that, in all probability, Isinglass will now meet La Fleche in the Lancashire Plate, in the event of which Mr. M'Calmont's colt will probably find equally as great a number of supporters as Baron Hirach's mare. whilst should it be decided to start him for the Cambridgeshire his position at the head of the list of quotations would be an assured tact. The field for the Champagne Stakes was reduced to a match between Lord Rosebery's colt and Sempronius, which ended, as was generally anticipated, in an easy win for the Illuminata colt. The winner, by the way, has now been named Ladas, which reminds one of a similarly named horse which represented Lord Rosebery in the Derby of lô69-Pretender's year. It is to be hoped that the present Ladaa will be a moi worthy representative than his predecessor, for, undoubtedly, he was an arch rogue, and after he came into Lord Rosebery's possession he never did anything more than win a match at New- market against Badsworth, a horse that bore equally as bad a character as did Lord Rosebery's representative. Ladas, by the way, is sure to be a strong winter fancy for the Derby, although whether he will, like the Greek after whom he is named, obtain a crown of of victory is a matter open to doubt. As was to be expected, the running on the Town Moor provided us with some insight into the chances of several of the candidates for the back-end handicaps. Prisoner, for example, after his victory in the Cup, naturally became a hot favourite for the Cesarewitch. To my. readers, however, I should point out that his vic- tory is not so important as it seems by reason of the Cup having been a very slow run race, whereas the Cesarewitoh is invariably a ding- dong race from start to finish. However, his connections evidently fancy him, for he has been supported to good money for the Newmarket event. Brandy, as I indicated some time ago, is worth looking after, and certainly her position as second favourite is justified, for she has none the worst of the weights. Ragimunde's declin- ing was somewhat of a surprise, for with 7et.' lOib. he certainly looked to have a great chance. However, we may take it that Taylor has a, better one, and I should not be surprised if that were Son of a Gun, despite the fact that Madame d'Albany is at present the better ^favourite. A candidate that looks sound business: at present is Castleblaney, who has been already supported by his owner for a good sum. He is a known and tried stayer, and I know his con- nections have a very high opinion of his ability. Then, again, Chesterfield's victory points towards the chances of Senaputty, but I must stick to my previous contention that Self Sacri- fice may reverse the placings if the pair meet again, whilst Newconrt is another that will certainly have to be reckoned with if he sees the post. Taking half a dozen, I should think the winner is likely to spring from Brandy, Castleblaney, Newcourt, Self-sacrifice, Van- guard, and Son of a Gun. A more definite selection, however, can be left for a few weeks, during which we shall be afforded opportunities of learning more of the chances of some of those engaged.

|TO-DAY'S CRICKET.
TO-DAY'S CRICKET. THE HASTINGS WEEK. NORTH OF ENGLAND V SOUTH OF ENGLAND The second match of the Hastings Festival which commenced this morning was favoured with delight- fully fine weather, and a large number of spectators were present when the game began at five minutes past twelve. Both teams were well represented, though Gunn was unable to play for the North, and his place was taken by A. Sellars, the Yorkshire amateur. The North won the toss and went in on what looked to be a good wicket. De Trafford and Sellars opened the batting, but only one run had been scored when the former was clean bowled by Lock- wood, who shared the attack with Richardson. Albert Ward followed in, and made some good hits. Ward and Sellars played free and most attractive cricket, and scoring at a rapid rate caused J. T. Hearne and Ferris to take up the bowling. Ward was cfiug-ht at the wicket at 72, the parti jiship having yielded 71 runs. At the fall of this wicket Rickaxdson superseded Ferris, and clean bowled Sugg at 95. Nine runs later Sellars was caught at point for an admirable 47. On the resumption at five minutes to three the attendance had increased con- siderably. Matters again went badly with the North, •Smith being clean bowled at 120, Peel being dismissed by Richardson at 125, and Briggs leaving at 127. Attewell made several very fine (hits, but after scoring 22 he was easily caught at imid-off at 154. Sherwinwas bowled after making a boundary bit, and the-innings closed at 3.40 fo, 158.

AFFAIRS IN THE COUNTY.
AFFAIRS IN THE COUNTY. Meeting of the Glamorgan Standing Joint Committee. The quarterly meeting of the standing joint committee of the Glamorganshire Quarter Ses- sions and County Council was held to-day at noon at the County Offioes, Cardiff. Mr. Oliver H. Jones occupied the chair, and the other members present were Aldermen Meggitt, Jones, Griffiths, John Williams, W. H. Mathias, and -Christopher James, and Councillors Martin, H. •S. Davies, W. Williams, D- Davies, J. Arnold, "Suns, Jotham, and Blandy Jenkins, and the following justices :—Colonel Franklen, General Lee, and Messrs. James, Lewis, Lloyd, M. B. Williams, R. W. Llewellyn and North. The Late Strike. The report of the chief-constable contained a paragraph to the effect that during the recen strike he had found the six sets of saddlery in- valuable, and strongly recommended the com- mittee to purchase six more. Alderman MEGGITT availed himself of the opportunity presented by this item to thank the chief-constable and others connected with him for acting during the strike with such admirable tact and judgment. (Hear, hear.) He thought they should not allow the occasion to pass without giving expression to their opinion to that effect. True, the county had been put to great expense—and the bills would come in later on—but they had been saved any serious collision between the police, the military, and the public, and through the action taken they had avoided such lamentable scenes as had been enacted in the North of England. He formally moved a reso- lution thanking the chief-constable and those connected with him. Councillor WILLIAM WILLIAMS objected •strongly to the use of the word "strike,' and ,asked the mover of the resolution to substitute labour troubles instead. In a strike men and masters disagreed in this case the men dis- 'agreed among themselves. Alderman MNccuTT I have no objection to the proposal; it is only a difference in terms. The resolution was then put and carried nem. icon. I The committee agreed to purchase the sets of saddlery as recommended. The Police Scabbards. The Chief-constable, in a supplementary re- port, reported that the leather scabbards be- longing to the cutlasses, with which the force was armed, and which were used with such effect at the Tredegar riots, were for the most part out of repair and required a thorough over- le, hauling. As the pattern was somewhat obsolete it had doubtless been greatly improved upon during the last twenty years. He had, therefore, not been obtaining cutlasses with the additional outfits that had been granted, and proposed to obtain a number of patterns to lay before a sub-corn- mittee for their selection. The present cutlass afforded very little protection to the hand. The cutlass worn by the Staffordshire police at the Cardiff dook strike appeared to be a very ser- viceable one. If the committee authorised it he would advertise for tenders for bedding, cloth- ing, furniture, appointments, and for patterns of cutlasses.—On the motion of the Chairman the matter was referred to the sub -committee. Strengthening the Force. The Chief-constable, as directed by the com- mittee, presented a return showing the augmen- tations and alterations he considered necessary for the force. In a summary of the return he -suggested an additional 25 officers, viz., five acting-sergeants and twenty constables. During the recent strike he was at a serious disadvan- tage in having no officers of the rank of inspec- tors at the headquarters of the different divisions When he bad something of importance to com- municate the superintendents were often away, making some special local avrangemeii a oratten- .ding police-court duties, which they suouldhave been able to allot to some responsible officer, He would like to make the divisional head- quarters inspector entirely responsible for the circulation of general orders and circulars throughout his division.—Mr. Blandy Jenkins and others strongly supported the chief-con- stable's recommendation for an increase in the police-force, which will take effect chiefly in the Gower district, Garw Valley, Brynamnian, and Mountain Ash.—The augmentation suggested, on a division, was agreed to with only one dis- sentient. The "Flying Squadron." Alderman Jones Griffiths inquired if the "flying squadron," which was used to assist in suppressing offences under the Sunday Closing Act, had been engaged every Sunday during the quarter.—The Cnief-Constable replied in the affirmative. Weights and Measures. Mr. Arnold (Neath) inquired if the county police had any right to interfere with people whose weights and measures had been stamped in 'boroughs,'or to paevent the use of such weights and measures.—The Chairman referred Mr. Arnold to the Local Government committee. Proposed -New Police Stations. On the motion of Alderman Jones Griffiths the question of a new police-station at ,Treorky was referred to a sub committee. The application^, or police-stations at Troedy- rhiw and Clydach were deferred for twelve months. This concluded the public business.

CARDIFF WATERWORKS.
CARDIFF WATERWORKS. Mr. Morgan IV-rgan Raises the Ques- tion of the Recent Arbitration. At a meeting of the Cardiff County Council this afternoon Mr. MORGAN MORGAN, in accor- dance with notice of motion, proposed the following resolution:— That in all cases of arbitration and similar proceed- ings entered into by or on behalf of the corporation it be an instruction to each committee before any agree- ments or terms are decided upon to submit full parti- culars and details thereof to the council, and that no arbitrator be appointed or agreed upon by any com- mittee until the council have had an opportunity of considering who are eligible persons for the position. Mr. EAMSDALE asked as to the present mode of procedure whether before the arbitrator was appointed the committee recommended the council to approve the suggestion. Alderman DAVID JONES said that that was so. The agreement came before the council in the ordinary way for the seal to be affixed thereto. Mr. WHITE said if the matter came before the council it would have come forward in the minutes of the committee. Alderman DAVID JONES said Sir William Lewis in March, 1892, wrote a letter suggesting that the matter should be referred to arbitra- tion, and also that the Recorder should be the arbitrator. This suggestion was accepted by the committee, and not objected to by the corpora- tion. Mr. MORGAN MORGAN said it seemed to him that throughout the whole of these proceed- ings there had been a gigantic blun- der, and he felt that he was ex- pressing the sentiments of the ratepayers of the town when he said that the result of the award had been a matter for astonishment to every ratepayer in the town. He said there were no minutes formally appointing Mr. B. F. Williams as arbitrator, and they had had no opportunity of deciding whether Mr. B. F. Williams was eligible for the position. He then proceeded to review the whole proceedings leading up to the arbitration. It was a great blunder to appoint a lawyer at all, especially a lawyer who know as much about the value of land as Christopher Columbus did about St. Mary-street. If the committee decided to ap- point a lawyer they should, in all common sense, have appointed a lawyer to argue the case before him. This was a case surrounded by legal difficulties. Sir William Lewis was a Merthyr boy, and they tried a bit of sharp practice in exchange for the land which it was necessary the corporation should have. He said, I don't want your money. Let me have the whole of the surplus land which you do not require, and I will let you have this strip of land. The value of the surplus land was something like £5,000. In addition to that he wanted a whole farm, for which he was at present paying the corporation JMO a year. The arbi- trator was also a Merthyr boy and he awarded Sir W. Thomas Lewis nearly £10 odd. The corporation had four valuers, competent and thoroughly trustworthy men, who valued the land at £758 or with £200 as a reasonable suai to be paid for a temporary line. Mr. Morgan then went on to state that Mr. J. A. B. Williams, the waterworks engineer, had charged a fee of £212 for acting in the arbitra- tion, and he also asked why the deputy-town- clerk went up to London, and who instructed him to appear at the arbitration. Mr. TUOUNCE seconded the proposition. Alderman D. JONES said Mr. Williams's charges were £ 212, but his fees for conducting the case, extending over 25 days, were only £135. This he considered a reasonable sum for a man in Mr. Williams's position. Alderman Jones then cr&ye an exhaustive account of the circumstances which hadledup to the arbitration, and said the matter had oome before the com- mittee on many occasions and bad occupied many days of anxious consideration. In addition to Sir W. T. Lewis they had to agree with many other landowners, each of whom might have blocked the way as Sir W. T. Lewis had done. The reason why they had not instructed lawyers was because they were anxious that the arbi- tration should cost the ratepayers as little as possible. Mr. B. F. Williams had acted for the corporation in other matters with satisfactory results, and although he did not consider this result had been satisfactory it was not a matter in which they eould blame the com- mittee. He defied anybody to say that proper consideration had not been giver, from end to end, and he defied anybody to say that they could have objected to Mr. Williams's recom- mendation in the position he occupied. Mr. S. A. BRAIN said he had every confidence in the waterworks committee and its chairman. He, however, was sorry the arbitration had turned out as it did, and it was a great matter of astonishment. After a little further discussion Mr. Morgan withdrew the resolution, and the matter dropped.

ROUGH ON THE G.O.M.
ROUGH ON THE G.O.M. ■»—— A Scotch Cleric Preaches at Him. WOULDN'T SHAKE HIS HAND. Neither Would the Premier be Received at the Rectory. The Blairgowrie correspondent of the Centrai News telegraphs :—Mr. Gladstone attended morning service in the Episcopal Church at Rlairgowrie on Sunday morning. The officiat- ing clergyman, the Rev. F. W. Davis, in the course of his sermon, made a somewhat unusual allusion to the conduct of men who, being ser. vants of mammon, strove only for worldly plact and power. These words were taken to consti. tute an insulting allusion to Mr. Gladstone, and during the day they were excitedly dis- cussed by the local Liberals. Mr. Davis, how- ever, in an interview with the Central News representative, disclaimed any intention of referring directly" to the Premier, but the rev. gentleman added that he was so bitterly opposed to Mr. Gladstone's policy that on Sunday he refused to shake hands with him, and that if the Premier should call at the rectory he would not be received. What the Clergyman Said. Another report says the teacher took for his text the words, No man can serve two masters," and in the course of his sermon said m any men tried to serve God and mammon, the latter being the favourite. How many came to the Lord's house that morning with a single pin-pose in view ? How many had been impelled by a contemptible spirit of curiosity only to set their laggard feet in God's house that morning? Did they think that God, who read the thoughts of all men, would not writo down in the Book of His remembrances that on a certain day in September, 1893, certain per- sons were prompted by most unworthy motives to go into His Honse, and who when there only dishonoured Him by never thinking' of Him ?s Did they think that He would fail to record the; fact that their coming into His House that day; proved them to be hypocrites of the deepest dy»i —men and women who worshipped more gods than one, who worshipped the creature as well as, or more than, the Creator. He asked then^ when that suicidal policy was to end, and con eluded by saying :— Perish policy and cunning, Perish all that hate the light; Whether winning, whether 10Binr.

A STATION FOR ROATH.
A STATION FOR ROATH. Deputation of Ratepayers to the Cardiff Corporation. j 1 At a meeting of the Cardiff Corporation this morning Mr. W. J. Trounce introduced an in* flmential deputation from Eoath on the question of providing a railway station in that portion of the town.-Dr. Treharne, who headed the depui tation, said the tradesmen of Roath were deeply concerned in the establishment of a railway station, and they believed the corporation haS on a previous occasion approached the railway company, but, through some difference of opinion, no further action had been taken. H« also believed plans had been prepared, an^ he asked the corporation to use their influence <3 with the Great Western Railway Companj 51 to get them into operation. They believed the establishment of a. station at Eoath woul. be a great benefit to the ratepayers and a greaj convenience to all concerned in that quarter 0( the town. He pointed to the extraordinary growth of the Splott district, where the popular Son was now about 12,000, and mentioned that Councillor Shackell was thoroughly in favour of the scheme.-Further speeches on the subject were delivered by Mr. Jones and Mr. T. Collinsf both of whom spoke of the advantages to bi derived by the location of a station in thai neighbourhood.—The Deputy-Mayor said whai the deputation had asked was only common sense and reasonable, and he hoped at no dia tant date they would see an open station ai Cardiff as well as a station at Hoath. -On. th( motion of Councillor Bauisdale, seconded by Alderman Cory, the matter was referred to the Parliamentary committee.
A SEAMAN'S CLOTHES.-1
A SEAMAN'S CLOTHES. -1 Unlawful Detention of an A.B:Ir, Garments. j At Penarth Police-court this morning John I Burnett, a lodging-house keeper of Cadoxton, was charged with detaining a bag of clothes' belonging to Thomas Line when keeping » boarding-house in Bristol in October last. Mr. James (from the office of Mr. J. H. Jones) prosecuted, and Mr. George David defended. Complainant said he was an able seaman, and in October, 1892, he stayed with Burnett at Bristol for two days. At the expiration of this time he made arrangements with Burnett to send the bag to Mr. Roderick, Lowndes-square, promising to pay 16s. 6d. he owed on delivery of the bag. The bag was not sent; and on the 7th inst. he saw Burnett at Cadoxton, offered the money, and asked for the bag. Burnett, however, refused to take the money or give up the bag. It transpired that the bag was afterwards seen at another boarding- house kept by a man named Sur'th.
