There can be little doubt that Influenza is as pre- valent now in this Country as it ever has been, but as we are more accustomed to it, it attracts less attention. The Best Treatment is Nourishing Food, Warmth, and a Good Tonic. The Best Tonic is QUININE, And the Most Effective Way of Administeriag Quinine is in the form of GWILYM in VANS' QUININE BITTERS. These Bitters have many advantages :'— 1. They are PURELY VEGETABLE. 2. They have Stood the Test of TWENTY YEARS. 3. They are a HAPPY COMBINATION of the Best Medicinal Plants yet discovered. 4. By taking a Dose Daily, say, about Eleven o'clock, and thus Keeping the System in Good Order, INFLUENZA MAY BE KEPT OFF. 5. When a Patieut is Suffering from Extreme WEAKNESS, LASSITUDE, and LOW SPIRITS, Which generally Follow an Attack of Influenza, there is Nothing Equal to £ VWILYM VANS' QUININE JJITTERS For Strengthening the System and Reviving the Spirits. CAUTION. The High Reputation and Great Success of these Bitters have induced many to TRY TO IMITATE THEM. Purchasers should Avoid these Imitations.

NOTES.
NOTES. By "OBSERVER." CARDIFF, SATURDAY MSRNINS. Monsignor Williams is a sanguine man. He is not without hope that Mr. R. Cory- that bulwark of the faith of Luther-may yet be seen transferring his allegiance to the Roman Catholic Church, and endeavouring to keep himself in the path of rectitude by weekly confession and communion." The complete picture may be found in Monsignor Williams' latest utterance in the press, to which I refer Protestants in general and the members of Mr. Cory's denomination in particular. An Englishman once became Pope: is it too late for Mr. Cory to make a bid for Cardinal ? Welshpeople are famous for genealogy, and a forty-first cousin is with them a reality indeed. At Porth on Thursday a defendant might be heard talking learnedly of "your sister's son by your sister's uncle" —a degree of consanguinity to which, I should think, even the elaborate table found in most prayer books despairs of attaining. The people who go to see Solomon's new picture "Awakened" at 79, Queen-street fall naturally into two classes. One is shocked, and hides its face with whispers of Most indecent Ought not to be ex- hibited Why don't somebody inter- fere P She hasn't a rag of clothing on Shameful hussey!" and the like. The other class stands in rapt admira- tion before a wonderful exhibition of artistic skill in pourtraying upon canvas the match- less loveliness of the female form divine Indecent P why the thought never occurs to the innocent in heart. "Vulgar?" yes, if the deft interpretation of what God has moulded be vulgar. Shameful ? "-the epithet applies to those who see the wrong where it does not exist because they them- selves gaze through distorted glasses. This wonderful picture calls forth nothing but admiration from visitors capable of appreciating its beauty. The girl in all her dreamy loveliness, upon a cQuch of autumn leaves sun-kissed, is a sight to dwell upon: the exquisite conception grows on the spec- tator,! and as the minutes pass in the darkened and carefully-arranged chamber I new beauties stand revealed, and what was lovely at first view is lovelier still as one takes one long lingering look ere facing again the hard cold and intensely respec- table world without. "Awakened," I have said, is an exquisite picture; but if it were placed on a wall with scores of other pictures "bricked" round it as it were—and as we see at nearly all our Cardiff exhibitions—the loveliness would be much less apparent. It was one of the faults of the Van Beer's exhibit here that the choicer pictures were no ally arranged and draped: certainly thfy would have gained very much by it. 1 regret to hear that the last-mentioned was less successful here than it deserved to be, for a finer set of collections has seldom been submitted to Cardiffians. I They are falling like leaves around us' these veterans. Let us cherish such as remain. The latest to depart is a Swansea man—alas' an inmate of the work- house at that place. His name was Thomas W. Thomas, and he was 67 years of age. When a young man he attended the old Swansea races on the Burrows. While there enjoying himself he unconsciously be- came a possessor of the Queen's shilling, and was drafted into the Royal Artillery, in which he served for fourteen years. He went through the whole of the Indian Mutiny, and was awarded two medals. Our Caledonian friends at Cardiff should employ a poet, as they don't seem particu- larly strong in rhyme. From the Land of the Leek We send you a greet Long life and prosperity To all your posterity. is kindly enough, but certainly it isn't a "porno" ill any sense of the ve-rd. And greet" amongst Scotchmen has a very different meaning, too. A Newport paper lifts up its hands in Pharisaic righteousness, and thanks God that Monmouthshire is not as Glamorgan- shire. It would not be surprising, it says, if all the Monmouthshire Assize business were knocked off in two or three days, whereas Glamorganshire took fifteen. Yes, but | look at the importance of our county and its dense and teeming' population. The sky was so clear last night that the idea, of projecting advertisements on the expanse aloft had to be postponed, and will take place this evening if there be any available cloud or vapour. That is one of the drawbacks of this new system of advertising that it can- not be depended upon, cloudy as our climate is, and, I'm bound to add, that I'm not one bit sorry. A small joke was perpetrated the other night at a teetotal meeting in Newport. The chairman introduced the Vicar of Llandaff as the Rev. Canon Buckley, but the rev gentleman proceeded to explain that although he came from the cathedral city of Llandaff he was not yet a canon. I thought you a big gun," chimed in the chairman amid laughter, and the rev. gentleman re- torted, I assure you I am a very small gun indeed." It is a pleasure to see how warmly our Santa Claus movement is being taken up. Leading streets in various parts of the town vie with one another in their efforts and their donations, and the ladies who attend the Dorcas meetings are unremitting in their efforts as the days go by. What is more, our Santa Claus seems to have been the means of stimulating other philanthropic work in the neighbourhood such is the inspiration that flows from a good example.
SMALL-POX IN CARDIGAN.
SMALL-POX IN CARDIGAN. The Disease Now Stamped out at New Quay. Although the outbreak of small-pox at New Quay, Cardiganshire, threatened to become an epidemic of a virulent character the officers of the local health authority were able to cope with it successfully, and we hear from an inde- pendent and well-informed source that the little seaside resort is now absolutely free from the scourge and that visitors need have no fear of the contagion. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Jones, the widow of Dr. Jones, one of the first victims of the disease. The deceased prac- tioner will be very much missed locally—espe- cially in the country districts around New Quay, among the inhabitants of which he was very popular. His practice will be taken up by Dr. Evans, of Penwig. Invaluable service was ren- dered by Dr. Evans, M.D., of Park-street, in confining the malady to as few cases as possible, and ultimately extirpating it altogether.
SHIPPING DISASTERS.
SHIPPING DISASTERS. Rescued from a Sinking Liner in Mid- Ocean. The steamer Palmas, which rescued 89 of the passengers and crew of the French steamer Marseille in mid-ocean, has arrived at Liverpool. Captain Thomas Morgan gives some additional particulars of the rescue. The Marseille, it may be remembered; was going from France to New Orleans, and having encountered a cyclone, she was left in a sinking state. There were 94 people on board, of whom nineteen were ladies and three children. Captain Morgan says all on board the French ship behaved admirably. The captain, a fine young Frenchman, was the last to leave the vessel, and every soul came on board the Palmas with a lifebelt round him or her. The sea was so terrible that it would have been fatal to have brought the boats immediately to the side of the steamer, so Captain Morgan got a boom out and by this means hoisted all the rescued people on board. A Liner Breaks Down. A Lloyd's telegram says :—The steamer Fur- nessia, from the Clyde, has reached New York, and reports being detained twelve hours repair- ing a flaw in the aft arm of the forward crank. COLLISIONS ON THE EAST COAST, During a severe gale which prevailed on the north-east coast on Thursday, the steamer Hesledon, from Middlesborough, was compelled to put back into the Tees. The wind brought her into violent collision with the steamer Pro- veneal, which was at anchor. The Proveneal's stern was smashed and the stern-wheel broken to pieces.

POLITICAL ITEMS. Dr. Benson and the Parish Councils Bill. Writing to a correspondent with reference to parish-rooms as affected by the Parish Councils Bill, the Archbishop of Canterbury says that undoubtedly there was a great number of buildings which, in all honesty, belonged to the Church, though built for no ecclesiastical purpose except the religious one of affording men in the villages a better resort than the public- house, few of which, however, had received con- tributions from the outside, but were there because of the exertions of the clergyman and the liberality of himself and Church people. He felt it hard to believe that it was intended to meddle with such rooms, however vested, whether in the clergy, churchwardens, or private trustees.
iMerthyr Boroughs.
Merthyr Boroughs. "We are not unlikely to have a vacancy soon in the representation of the boroughs," said a. prominent Libera] leader at Merthyr to one of our reporters on Friday. "We have heard a similar story before," remarked the pressman. "Yes," was the reply but this time, I fancy, there is really something in it." Well, I suppose we shall have a whole crop of candidates P "queried the reporter. Most probably. Mr. Alfred Davies, as you know, is determined to stand at all hazards and there is soir*a talk of Mr. GwiJymJoncs eiiteiirig the field. Anyhow, we may be certain that if a vacancy should arise we shall have lively times."

THE ENTERPRISING BURGLAR AT NANTTGLO. Thomas Armstrong, aged 37, a labourer, pleaded guilty to burglariously blearing and entering the Bush Hot-i, Nantyglo, Oll August 15, and stealing a ham, six bottles spirits, a bottle of champagne, two boxes of cigars, two packets of cigarettes, and other articles, of the value of about £3 10s., the property of the land- lord, Mr. J. D. Willitms.—In answer to the Juage, prisoner said he ivasa native of Sirhowy, and once worked on tbs Taff Vale Railway, but being asked to say what he had been doing during the last twelve months replied that he had been attending race meetings.—His Lord- ship passed sentence ef twelve months' impri- sonment with hard labour.—Before going down prisoner said he had a request to make. What is itf asked his lordship. "I was in prison for four months waiting my trial, and I want to know if that will count as hard labour in my sentence."—The Judge: Have you been in pri- son four months ?—Prisoner Yes, my lord.— The Judge Then, I will take off two months that will make ten months now. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT PONTNEWYDD. John Parker, a collie", aged 47, on bail, was charged with the manslaughter of Arthur Payne, aged nine years, at Pontnewydd, on September 16. Mr. T. Morgan Phillips appeared for the prosecution prisoner was not professionally defended.—Evidence adduced showed that on the afternoon of Saturday, September 16, two sons of the prisoner, Thomas and William Parker, quarrelled in the house over a tie, and were engaged in a wrangle, when their father entered the house. He caught hold of one of them by the throat and tried to strike the other with his strap, but that one ran out of his reach into the back yard. The prisoner followed, and, picking up a wooden stake shod heavily with iron, threw it at his son. It bound 3d off the youth's back and flew against the head of the little boy Payne, who was standing in the garden of his parents' house with only a low fence between him and prisoner's sen. It cut a wound on the boy's temple which his mother bathed.—Dr. Bowker said the boy when brought to his surgery was suffering from a wound four or live inches long, and had lost a lot of blood. He stitched up the wound. On the following- day (Sunday) the boy was in a state of collapse, and of Monday he died. He had had diarrhoea a weak before. On that day he made a post-mortem examination, and found all the organs of the body healthy. The wound on the head was only through the scalp, and did not injure the deeper structures of the head.— To what," asked the prosecuting counsel, "do you attribute the boy's death?"—Dr. Bowker: It is a case in which it is impossible to give a definite opinion. He was suffering on the Sunday from diarrhoea-, and that, I think, was sufficient to cause death, though I think the blow accelerated it.. I think death itself was due to diarrhoea. On the following Sunday a younger brother of the deceased was taken in the same way, and died in four or five hours.— The Judge In what way, do you think, the blow accelerated death ?—Dr. Bowker: By hastening the collapse.—The Judgre To what extent do you think it accelerated the death ?—Dr. Bowker I do not think the boy, in the condition he was, would have lived more than four or six hours.—His Lordship, in summing up, ex- pressed the opinion that it would have been well if the prosecution had obtained the opinion of a second doctor to make the matter more conclusive.The jury, in the result, found prisoner not guilty, and the decision was hailed with some slight demonstration of approval from those in court. ANOTHER CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Thomas Burke (on bail), aged 19, a labourer, and Wm. Jones (on bail), aged 28, also a labourer, were charged with the manslaughter of Thomas Higgins at Tredegar on July 9 last. Mr. T, Morgan Phillips appeared for the prose- cution, and said that from the evidence it appeared that the two prisoners went to Higgins's house in Iron-row, and challenged him out to fight. They fought in the street, and, according to the witnesses, Burke put his head down to Higgins's legs, and tripped him over, and Jones kicked him. That happened more than once. The police arrived on the scene, and Higgins was carried into the house. He became ill, and the next day he died.—Dr. Good, who made a post-mortem examination, said the organs of the body were fairly healthy, and he attributed death to a fracture of the bowels, which might have been caused by a kick, a blow, or a fall. Three youths, named Nicholas Mansfield, Thos. Leary, and George Price, gave evidence of the fight" two of tbem speaking of Burke throwing Higgins and Jones kicking him. When Police- constable Wilkins arrived he found a man named Moore fighting with Jones because, as Moore said, Jones had been kicking Higgins on the ground.—The j ri-oner called two witnesses, viz., William Gittens, who said Higgins told him that he had been fighting at Brecon Militia Camp about ten days before the fight at Tredeg'ar, and John Kahaler,who said he saw the fight from start to finish, and did not see Burke-throw deceased or Jones kick him.— In the result the jury found both prisoners guilty. —His Lordship having considered written testi- monials which the prisoners handed up for his perusal, the police stated that both prisoners were given to drink, and Burke had twice been convicted of stealing meat.—The Judge said it was evident that both men had had too much to drink, and then became quarrelsome. Burke was sent to prison for three months and Jones for six months. A PRISONER DISCHARGED. James Flynn, aged 28. a labourer, was charged with attempting' to break into the grocer's shop of Mr. Evan Jones, of Cross- street. Newport, early in the morning of Octo- ber 15 last. Mr. T. Morgan Phillips prose- cuted.—Police-constable David Thomas heard a crashing' of boards about one o'clock in the morning, and saw prisoner running away from the hack of the shop, which had been boarded up. A piece of the boarding had been torn down.—In the end he was found not guilty, and he was discharged. The court adjourned till this (Saturday) morning.
TWO DEATHS IN THE SNOW.
TWO DEATHS IN THE SNOW. A telegram from Seaham Harbour states that a violent gale and snowstorm passed along the North-east Coast on Friday. During the height of the storm Mr. John Dixon Purdy, traffic manager to the South Hetton Coal Company, was killed on the railway near Seaham Harbour, It is supposed that the deceased slipped in the snow and was struck by some passing wagons. Early on Friday morning the body of James Simpson, of Inverboyrdie, senior partner of the firm of Messrs. James Simpson and Sons. Banff Distillery, was found lying near Banff in the snow. His trap was overturned upon him when driving home during a snowstorm.
A Lady Attempts Suicide.
A Lady Attempts Suicide. Ethel Amy Budgett, 28, who gave an address in Finborongh-road, Brompton, and stated that she was the daughter-in-law of the Hon. Mrs. Budgett, of Clifton, Bristol, was charged on Wednesday at Westminster with attempting to commit suicide. A young man, named Austin Gilmore, stated that whilst passing over Battersea bridge at night he saw prisoner rush towards the parapet, with the evident idea of getting over. Witness pulled her back, and she fainted. A constable deposed that prisoner said she did not thank the young man for saving her life. Prisoner said she was sorry. It would not happen again. Mr. De Rutzen re- manded her, and she was afterwards seen by Mr. Newman, the police-court missionary.

THE CATHOgC CHILDREN.
THE CATHOgC CHILDREN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WESTERN MAIL." Sir,—I wish to reply to the Vicar of Llan- claff's letter on the above-mentioned subject, beeause it was written urider a misapprehen- sion of some important facts. Mr. Buckley. after stating that it is within the last four years that the Catholics of Car- diff have discovered the difficulty of teaching their children to grow up good, practical Catholics in a Protestant institution, adds, with reference to myself, "But he should not forget that for many years the Ely Schools were thought good enough for Roman Catho- lic children, and that it is only quite recently that any dissatisfaction has been expressed." This is said to show our conduct towards our poor children in Ely Schools lias only recently become different from that of the Dissenting ministers. But this is totally at variance with fact. The priest of Canton has always attended the Ely Schools for the purpose of instructing the children. We have never con- sented to their being taught the doctrines and practices of the Church of England, nor, as far as we know, have they ever received in- struction of that kind. Our grievance is, and always has been, that •"lie teaching and guid- ance we have been uble to give to those children ha.,( boon, aiK" must be, ineffective for its purpose-that those children have not grown up Catholics. The evil only begins in the schools; it is completed afterwards. If they have friends to whom they may return when they leave the schools, the children come back very ignorant of their religion, and with no religious habit-s. If they are friendless orphans, their case is hopeless. When they are old enough to work, they are sent out as servants in farmhouses, or lielping-lxiys to colliers, or to some such employment, in places far away from any Catholic church. They are expected to follow the religion of their employer. It is also their worldly inte- rest to do so. Would anyone expect young children, under the circumstances, to have sufficient strength of character to resist the influences brought to bear upon them? I believe that in nine eases out of ten these chil- dren lose the Catholic faith. Can any guar- dian give an instanoo of one who has pre- served it? From this point of view we have never been satisfied with the Ely Schools, nor with any other workhouse schools in the king- dom. If we have only recently expressed dis- satisfaction to the guardians, it was becauee we were not in a position to supply a remedy. Fifteen yeaTs ago we oommenced a small home for the workhouse children a.t Treforest. About • four years ago we were able to locate that home in a building erected for the pur- pose. Within the h.1t four years a large wing, capable of accommodating 120 children, has been added to Nazareth House. Now that we are in a position to apply a remedy to the wholesale loss of faith of our pauper children in all the populous unions, we are told by the Cardiff Guardians that we may apply our remedy to their supernumeraries. It cannot be surprising to any person, who with- out- prejudice considers the case that we are not satisfied, and thirlc that the rights of conscience are not adequately respected by such a concession. The vicar puts forward the interests of the children and the inteiests of the ratepayers as the ground of the resolution of the board. There are no worldly interests of the children which will not be as we.ll, nay, better, looked after in our institutions than in Ely Schools. j.-iieir food, their clothing, their housing, their treatment, and. their education will .be all under the supervision of her Majesty's in- spector, pud, I may add, of the guardians themselves. As to their spiritual interests, in Ely they lose their faith; in our institutions they preserve it. Here lies the difference. Am I not justiedfi in thinking that here, also, lies the root of the board's decision? The in- terests of the ratepayers are affected only if the maintenance and education of the chil- dren would cost more in our institutions than at Ely. But no opportunity was given to the deputation to make any remark on the cost, or any overtures, for the point was not raised in our presence. Besides, we had ourselves in our printed statement alleged as one ground of our application that there was to be no extra oost to the ratepayers. The cost per child in Ely Schools is about 5s. 3d. per week. We would willingly nave accepted 5s.' per week to make up for any possible loss. Whether the cost for those who remained after ours were transferred would be greater or not would depend entirely upon the circumstances of the moment. A staff that would suit for 50 would suit for 70, but would not suit for 100. If the with- drawal of 30 of ours reduced 100 to 70 the staff might also be reduced, and the cost per child actually less instead of greater. But in the face of the fact that the Cardiff guar- dians themselves have sent children to Bridgend Cottage Homes at a cost of 7s. per week per child, I do not see why they should haggle over a possible infiniteHimal loss in our case, against which they hold the guarantee of the law, and may also have ours. He will be a clever guardian who can demonstrate that by sending the children to our institutions at 5s. per week per child they will incur a greater expense than by keeping them at Ely at 5s. 3d. The vicar's plea that the guardians were justified in retaining as many children as possible on the ground that, as they had just enlarged their schools, "it is their duty to see that they are filled," he will see, on second thoughts, to be untenable for two reasons:—(1) That it is the interest of the ratepayers that there should be as few as possible in the schools, and that the necessity of further extension should be 38 remote a8 possible; and (2) that the guardians are con- fronted- with the awkward fact that they quite recently made a present of twelve or fifteen children to Muller's Home, Bristol. I think, sir, it would be far better that the Cardiff guardians should adopt the policy of the larger towns of the kingdom rather than that of the smaller places—the policy of all the thirty-four London boards, who send all their Catholic children to Catholic institutions—a policy which aims at making space rather than filling it. and which sees that it is better for the children, spiritually and temporally, to be kept as free as pos- sible from the brand of the workhouse, and to be reared under the influence of the noblest, self-sacrificing Christian charity rather than that of mercenary service. Just one word about my remark respecting Mr. R. Cory. We have no bitter feelings against men like him, though for a. time, it may be, we have to stand in battle array against them. He belongs to a class that has given us our best converts—from Cardinal Newman to St. Paul. When they act from pure motives of the love of God, and are free from self-love and spiritual pride, we always have strong hopes and expectations of their conversion; and it may be that we shall yet have the satisfaction of seeing Mr. R. Cory, like St. Paul", transfer his prayers, his xeal. and his benefactions to the service of the Church that he has endeavoured to harass, and the further satisfaction of seeing him, having found the light, endeavour to keep himself in the path of rectitude by weeklv confession and communion.—I am, &c., WM. WILLWaS. St. David's, Cardiff, Dec. 1.
Intermedate Education.
Intermedate Education. On Thursday, at the Police-court, Conwa.y, a meeting of the local governing body of the Car- narvonshire education scheme was held. Mr. W. H. Darbishire in the chair.—The Chairman, replying to Mr. Bevan as to what prospect there was of getting the money received for the scheme, said that he was pleased to say that at the intermediate education committee of the county council it was announced that the first instalment of the money would be distributed at the meeting of the council next Thursday. The amount apportioned to the Conway and Llano dudno district was. he thought, £ 150.—The question of building a school in the district was fully discussed. The Chairman informed the committee that at Portmadoc the necessary funds had come to hand, and at Carnarvon, out of the £1,750 required, they had collected £1,200. Although Carnarvon had not collected the full amount, the committee of the county council had decided to allow them to erect temporary buildings, because Carnarvon was one of those places which would need a. school.

The Doctor Explains. O'CONNELL'S WIFE A DANGER- OUS LUNATIC. She Assaulted Dr. Griffiths In tTia Street, Broke the Windows of his House and Made Threats. With reference to the allegation made at Cardiff Police-court on Friday by a man named O'Connell who states that his wife was illegally arrested and confined in Bridgend Asylum, an "Evening-Express "reporter called upon Dr. Griffiths in order to get from him what he had to say in the matter. Do you know the woman, doctor ?" asked the pressman. Yes; she used to be a private patient of mine, and I. did all I could for her." "Why did she leave your o&re ■ "Well, I got her into tfce CM-u.if InHnnarYe where she refused to stay. Then, through my influence, she became an out-patient of the hospital." "What happened nerAF" After that she came up to my house and broke my wind«-»vs. The detective then arrested her. a.nd she got a month for it. As soon as she g(M out she did the &\4n@1 thing again, and was again sent to gaol. '4.h0 was then adjudged by the police-surgeon tp be mad, and was se.it to the asylum. when> she remained for six liK-nths. "Did she come out asrain?" Yes: she came out after six months, and came to my house and did the same thing again. She used to r-ome up to my hoaap and threaten to do all manner of injuries te me- Among other !:hings, she frequently said she would bring a sword with lier nest time. and would 'nick .me or one of ny family in the back. Sometimes I tov" suddenly meet her in the street, and. would speak sensibly a time. and grow violent and pick jp anything that wikb near at hand to throw i* at me. After all the kindness I had shown the woman, she put my life in constant danger." "Is it true that she was arrested for assawit- ing you in St. John's--<quare, and afterwards sent to the asylum ?" "She certainly assau'ted me, but she was not then sent to the asylum." How came it that she was subsequently sent to the asylum ?" "Well, Doctors Wallace and Hardy man both pronounced her be a lunatic, and then the police-surgeon was consulted, and formed the same opinio She was sent to the asylum, and then Dr. Pringle said she was a dangerous lunate, and 1 saw Dr. Pringle lately, and he tow says she is one of the most dangerous lunatics at present in Bridgend."
Church Charities.
Church Charities. The Press Association states that the Parlia- mentary Church party on Friday resolved to strongly oppose Alr. Fowler's amendment to Clause 13 of the Local Government Bill, by which it is proposed that in the ease of charities which have no representative trustee the parish counci should have the right to nominate a certain num- of trustees. The opponents of this proposal contend that it is a violation of the promise given by the President of the Local Government Board to leave Church interests untouched, and that it would seriously affect the charities under the control of the incumbent alone, or of the clergyman and one or m.,re private persons.
Parish Councils Bill.
Parish Councils Bill. The Central News is eaabled to state tha.t an influential section of the Cabinet is in favour of suspending the Parish Councils Bill until next session by means of a i*aolution of the House under which it would be kept alive. It is pointed out that resort to the guillotine is un- desirable, that Saturday sittings would not avail much. and th- suspension of the. twelve o'clock rule would avail less. Even if the Bill were to pass the House of Commons just before Christmas the Government would be unable to control the holidays of the House of Lords, who would probably not meet until the end of January. They would occupy fully a fortnight in discussing the Bill, and would, it is believed, then send it back to the Commons plastered with amendments. More time would be occupied in negotiations. These views are strongly held by the Ministers who favour the transfer of the Bill to the session of 1894, which, they point out, should open not later than the end of January. By persevering until the middle of December, considerable progress through Committee would be made, if that stage were not closed altogether.
