I WELSH LAND COMMISSION. Preparing Evidence in Cardigan- shire. Our Aberayron correspondent writes :-A series of meeting's arranged in accordance with the mandate of the county council, are being held in Cardiganshire to prepare evidence for the Welsh Land Commission. The attendance has been very meagre, and hardly a farmer has taken part. At Aberayron the meeting was timed to begin at six o'clock, and the Town-hall was lighted in anticipation of the gathering. A bell was sent out imploring the townspeople to attend and avoid a fiasco. The intention to hold the meeting in the main hall was abandoned, and it was seven o'clock before proceedings commenced in the assembly-room. Only a few farmers ftom the immediate neighbourhood attended. A preacher occupied the chair, and the meeting was addressed by shopkeepers, a schoolmaster (whQ had tried farming and had given it up), a lawyer, and other non-agricul- turists. A resolution in favour at establishing a, land court and calling upon the Government to advance money to the tenants to buy farms' at a low rate of interest was submitted. An effort was made to induce a, farmer to support the resolution, but not one responded. On being put to the meeting, some twenty hands out of about 60, including children, supported, but the negative was not submitted at all. A committee was held after the meeting, but nothing was done, and it stands adjourned to Monday next.

TITHE WAR IN WEST WALES. Interviews with the Home Secre- tary. The blalik refusal of Mr. Robert Lewis to proceed to the execution in the parish of Pen- bryn, Cardiganshire, of Warrants for the re- covery of tithes, has evidently brought things to a head. We understand that a, few days back the Home Secretary was waited upon, first by Mr. C. M. Williams (Aberystwith) and the chief-constable; and, secondly, by Mr. J. H. Evans (registrar of the N ewcastle- Emlyn I County-court) and Mr. Robert Lewis. The question of police protection was, we believe, the chief matter brought under Mr. Asquith's notice. A report on the subject will be presented at the next meeting of the standing joint com- mittee for Cardiganshire.

IN DIRE DISTRESS. Smalls Lighthouse Keeper Seriously Indisposed. On the 9th instant the master of a Milfc d Waterferd passenger steamer reported at > .1- ford that distress signals were being made from the Smalls Lighthouse as his vessel passed. The Trinity tender Siren was at once despatched to the lighthouse from New Milford, but, owing to the heavy sea running, she was unable to g,pproach the rocks on which the lighthouse stands. Every day since the Siren has put out to sea, but failed to communicate, except by signal, owing to the bad weather. It appears that the principal lighthouse-keeper is seriously ill, and requires medical attention.

SOUTH WALES COAL WAR. Possible Action Against Charterers for Demurrage. We understand it is possible that at the forth- coming assizes certain actions will be entered on behalf of some of the shipowners against char- terers for demurrage in connection with the non-supply of coal during the time of the coal war in South Wales last summer. A number of interesting legal questions are involved in the contemplated action.

ANOTHER SECESSION TO THE CHURCH Our Barmouth correspondent writes :—There has been for some time a rumour floating in the air that a promising young minister and pastor, who is also a distinguished graduate, and who is in charge ef a church in Merioneth, was con. templating going over to the Church. The report had become so common that the deacons of the church of which he is minister felt it their duty to put themselves right with the country and to afford the minister the opportunity of either denying the rumour or to confirm it. So at the close! of the service last Sunday one of the deacons, in the presence of the others, told the minister of the rumour, and asked him for either a denial or otherwise. How- ever, no definite statement was made that night, but early the next day the deacons received a letter of resignation from the minister. Although the minister referred to has not stated in so many words that this step is taken with the object of entering the Established Church, yet it is almost certain that in the course of a few days be will bo admitted into the Communion of the Church.

THE CARMARTHEN MURDER. Our Carmarthen reporter states that it lias been ascertained from the borough under- sheriff (Mr. Thomas Walters), that he has just heard from Mr. Justice Kennedy, who is now at Lampeter Assizes, that the county of Car- marthen cases only will he taken on Saturday next at the Carmarthenshire winter assizes. The murder case from tl»e borough will, there- fore, not be taken until Monday, but the grand jury for the borough must attend on Saturday morning', when the charge will be delivered to them at eleven o'clock punctually.

PONTYPRIDD STATION. Abandonment of the Proposed Alterations. It will be remembered that some time ago the Taff Vale Railway Company proposed to re- build and extend their Pentypridd Station, at a cost of from JE;20,000 to £ 25.000. The intended alterations included, amongst other things, the widening of the bridge carrying the railway across High-street, while from the present entrance to the Wheat Sheaf public-house was to be fenced in by the company, and a new road to be constructed on tke site now occupied by the block of buildiags in that locality, and was to come out in High-street at a spot near the Taff Vale Hotel. All the arrange- ments proceeded satisfactorily until the plans of the New road were submitted to the Pontypridd Local BGard, when it appears that those plans showed that the proposed road would have a much steeper gradient than the one which leads through Station-terrace, and two precipitous J dips were consequently formed where none now exist. The local board deemed it unwise to accept a road which was not equal to the present one. This objection was laid before the Taff Vale Railway Company, and it is now understood that the proposed new station is to be altogether abandoned, owing to the opposition thus offered. Whether this is so or not, as regards the site of the present station, however, it is certain that the erection of a com- modious station at Pontypridd cannot be much longer delayed. Locally, the possibility of reverting to the Gelliwastad Road site is discussecfcpretty freely, owing to the fact that the company have already acquired a Wesley an Chapel and a whole street of houses quite recently, ostensibly for tho extension of facilities for goods traffic.

LIVING WHIST BALL Pleasont Re-union at Cardiff Town- Hall. On Thursday evening at the Town-hall, Car- diff, a ball in connection with the recent living whist tournament was held.

THE MONTREAL OUTRAGE. A Reuter's telegram from Montreal on Wed- nesday says — MM. Mercier, Peiland, and De Martignv were to-cfciy brought before the Court of Special Sessions for sentence, having yesterday pleaded guilty to a cha.rge of con spiracy to damage the Nelson Monument in Cartier-square to the extent of 20dols. Judge Dug-as fined them each 23dols. In an address to the court the Judge eulogised the memory of Nelson and eulogised the ISritish for honouring their great naval hsro. He was satisfied the conspirators did not realise the gravity of their act, and concluded by saying that the monument would remain in its place without injury from French Canadians.

GROCERS AND CO-OPERATION. Deputation to Sir Edward Reed, M.P. On Thursday afternoon a deputation, ooai- sisting of Mr. R. Benjamin, Mr. Ballard, Mr. D. Davies (Aberdare), Mr. Wm. Griffith, and Mr. Parker (secretary), ropresent.ing the Cardiff Grocers' Association, waited upon Sir Edward J. Reed, K.C.B., M.P., at the Royal Hotel. Cardiff, in reference to the teaching of the co-operative system in board schools.— Mr. Benjamin stated that. the action of the Government on this question was very unfair to a large section of the trading community, a,nd not beneficial to the public. The co- operative stores of the present day, he said, were worked by capitalists for their own benefit, and in many cares large profits were made.—Mr. Griffith stated that the text-book issued by Mr. Arnold Foster on this question J was very misleading. Mr. Foster stated, for instance, that sugar could be bought a.t a. I co-operative store for 2d. per pound, whereas a private trader charged 4d. per pound. Nothing could be more ridiculous, because nearly all householders knew that sugar could be bought cheaper from the private trader than from i, co-operative store. The cais- tomers at the stores were ready to pay 20 per cent. more for their goods because they had a chance of 10 per cent, being returned to them in dividend at the end of the year. In many places' the oo-operative store was nothing more or lees than a truck shop. It was dominated by the "gaffers." and the men who refused to deal there were quickly informed that their services were not required at the works.—Sir Edward Reed promised that the subject should receive his best atten- tion. He was bound to eay that co-operation pure and simple was a very good thing for the community; but if the system were used merely for the sake of gain the co-operative store must be placed on the same level as the ordinary trader's shop.

THE CHURCH IN WALES. The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says :-1 learn that the "Church Defenders "—as the gentlemen who are anxious to maintain the Establishment in Wales describe themselves—are still desirous of bringing about an electoral. alliance with the Scottish Church- men. The latter remain shy and cautious. They do not at all relish the idea of making the Scottish Establishment dependent on the fate of the Welsh. It is, however, the fact that the English hierarchy are strongly in favour of nsaking- the attack on the Welsh Church a sub- ject of resentment by Scottish Churchmen, and are urging this policy with great persistence. The ultimate result is, therefore, doubtful.

AN ACTOR POISONED AT NEWPORT. One of the company playing in the drama. Old Sport" at the Victoria Theatre, Newport, named Richard Cowell, was fetmd on Wednes- day night to have taken poison, but whether with a view to cause suicide, or by inadvertence is not quite clear. Mr. Cewell, who is a middle- aged man, could not take his part of J'MM Sharpe in the play, and was, when his real condition became known, conveyed to the infirmary, where emetics were successfully applied, and he was brought round. His part on the night in question was taken by Mr. Pryce Jenkins, who was years ago well known amongst Welsh foot- ballers.

Afraid of Bee on ling Black It SUPERSTITIOUS FEARS IN THE MIDDLE AGES. Thrilling Story of the Manner In which a Daring Captain Quelled ft Mutiny. Some time in the year 14-94 Vajsoo de Gama, who had set out from Portugal on unknown sean to discover a route to the Indies, found himself becalmed in the middle of the Atlantic. Standing alone on the deck of his ship he could hardly suppress a sigh as he looked to- wards the burning mi horizon, at his vesseig which seemed deprived of all life ami motion, and thought of his sailors lying about, inactive, discouraged, stupefied by i,he intense heat. But, what is that ? Arising afar in the distance he sees an almost imperceptible clothi —small as the puff of smoke which comes from the bowl of au Eastern na,rghileh-a very little thing, indeed, but enough to foretell the very near approach of the much-longed-for breeze. Though almost certain of the fact, Vasoo m trained from communicating it even to his offices; he knew the demoralisation that would follow were he by any possibility to be de- ceived. And his prrdenoe was all the greatw as he had felt for some time past, a breath or whisper as it were of discontent and mutiny in the air. One thing particularly surprised the greait captann,thatwhile there was some excuse for irti-tability and impatenoe during this terrible calm, his men, on the contrary, seemed to have become quieter and bettpr. Now, leaning against a, sail which partially concealed him. chauoe gave him the key to much that was puzzling. A top-man, leaving one of his companions with whom he had been in conversation, said in nether loud voice: — I tell you that he would sacrifice U8 all to his ambition, and you are a parcel of cowards if you let him do it. The sailor parsed on without seeing his captain, but not before De Grona had recog- nised in him Baltasaf. a man irreproachable in his conduct amd work. thongh not generally- liked. Vasco realised that he was on the brink of a terrible danger, so he set at onoe to work to oufcwithis enemies. He determined, however not to do anything hastily. The day passed on without incident; but in the evening, just as the sun was sinking beneath the horizon to give place to nigh*, after a short erapuseule, the long-expeoted breeze was felt coming across the sew gently a<nd smoothly as tJie breath from the dewy lips of a young girl. A cry of joy came from the officers ea board, but murmurs of uneasiness and discontent from the men. In another moment revolt would have broken forth in all it fury, but Vasoo, who had kept an attentive eye on all, ordered commands to be suspended for the present, and called his men about him. Standing with arms crossed, he surveyed the wild, ex- cited throng- with a, firm and fearless look, vl and in a sonorous and sympathetic voice said: "Sailors, my friends, my children, you who have followed me willingly, enthils you whom I am leading to conquest, fame, and glory-why these signs of dwoontent and' insubordination ? Wlwt it *t>at makes you lose courage and hope? I ought, I know, to be severe, but my heart, prevents me speakmg to you otherwise than as a father .You are my helpers in a work undertaken for the honour of our country. Speak—explain your grievances!! Believe me, I shall met fairly and justly with you!" There was profound silence for a few moments. Scane of the sailors lowered their heads half ashamed and repentant, others looked towards Baltazar in an eager question- ing way. Twisting his cap between his hands, this malcontent moved forward, and in some stammering words declared that his comrades were willing to obey their (uptain in all things if they remained in their present latitude, but that they absolutely refused to cross the equator. Ah the reason ?" asked Vasoo. All the men roared out the answer: — "We don't want to become niggers! We know that the moment we get to the equator we shall all turn black. Back. Back! We must go back to Europe!" Vasoo and his officers knew now they had to wrestle with credulity, ignorance, and blind brutality. "So you believe that you will become negroes if you cross the equator ? I also, 1 suppose ?" "Dams! We can't say thai. You have probably some way of keeping yourself white. While we-" To the astonishment of everyone, Vasoo replied: Baltanr has spoken truly. I do poetess a secret that will keep one from becoming even browned under the- hottest sun. To- morrow I shall tell it to you. from now till then I command the most implicit obedience. Go bank to your posts, obey your officers. I shall see you in 24 hours." After giving this order, Vasoo descended to his cabin, where he was soon joined by his second officer. "Now, said he to the latter, "use aH available means to quicken the speed of the ship. Issue your commands fearlessly and firmly, and do not call on me'un'n you can no longer stand the insubordination of the crew." The Sam-Gdbriel flew through the waiter like bird. Even Vaeoo seemed satisfied at the progress lmde. On the other hand, the sailors, who suspected that they were in the neighbourhood of the equator, began, to br alaj-med, as they calculated as a very litt1 time would bring them to it. Morning dawned and still no revolt.

Every mail ran towards; the cabin. "Come in. Baltazar. Let all of you oome nearer! I promised to reveal the secret of remaining white while pairing the equator. I am gouig to keep that promise.
