Wreck of the Cardiff Libera! Thousand." I Several efforts- have been made to get the officials to call a meeting, but, so far, these efforts have proved unavailing. This reluctance is, doubtless, due to the fact that the gulf between the old and the younger Radicals is widening, the differences increasing in number and extent.—Morning Paper.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. Dangers of London at the Cardiff Theatre Royal. Few melodramas are more suited to the taste of heliday audiences than that which is being presented at Mr. Fletcher's house during the present week. In The Dangers of London incident follows incident and sensation follows sensation with amazing and bewil- dering rapidity. True, some of the mechanical arrangements—such, for instance, as the "raft" and fast express" scenes—are not altogether novelties, but they are exciting and interesting notwithstanding, and in the introduction of the tell-ta.le phonograph the author (Mr. F. A. Seudamore) has brought his play into touch with the inventions of up-to-date science with remarkable success. On the whole, the drama has sterling merit, and if the author's platitudes are sometimes commonplace, it must be admitted that the situations are moving and the pathos genuine. As F'rank Eovr&^t^ the much-amicted hero. Mr. W. H. Halla.tt on Monday evening gave one of those masterly portrayals that commanded the absolute sympathies of the large audience, and which was always natural, although his surroundings were ofttimes the direct opposite. For the part of .War: the «ver-faitbfnl wife of Frank, no fintw expon than Misa Liancie bf aie couill, be found. Mr. W. G. Leonard, Mr. J. C. Murray. Mr. H. L. Osmond, and Mr. W. Royers all played their parts with perfect success. Letty and Gertrude Weir were ably represented by the Misses Adah Garrett and Kate Romer, the former of whom was as vivacious as the latter was dignified. In the matters of scenery and dresses iair. W. H. Hallait s company is excellently equipped. Cardiff Empire. It is an old saying, we believe, among theatrical acting managers that a house is never so full but that another one may get ins^e but the appearance of both houses at the Empire on Monday night led one to have very strong doubts as to the truth of it, for. as a matter of fact, almost as many again as the packed houses contained had perforce to go empty away, and the nature of the entertain- ment was ample vindication of this practical appreciation. It did most certainly de- serve the title of a Bank Holiday programme. Least—at all events in stature— but not last by any means in talent, came those two diminutive specimens of humanity, the Rossows, described on the bill as the "Midget Marvels of the Microcosm." These two talented little people went through a perfor- mance which for grace and cleverness would do credit to many of the so- called strong men, wrestling: and lifting heavy weights, and altogether giving a most interest- ¡ ing exhibition. When, at the conclusion, the exhibitor placed one on each hand, and held them out at arms' length, the enthusiasm found vent in torrents of enthusiastic applause. From the moment that Frazer and Mac came on to the stage nothing was visible in the audience but a sea of laughing faces, and even had one not been able to see the audience the sound of laughter would have amply proved the success which this clever lady and gentleman were achieving. Parker's performing dogs bore witness to almost supernatural intelligence on the part of the animals, and a world of patient, painstaking training on the part of their master. The leaps which were accomplished by one of the animals must certainly be seen to be believed. The laughter created by the boxing dogs, Corbett and Mitchell, was uncontrollable. While mentioning this turn, it is fair to say that the somersaulting dog was by far the best ever iieen in Cardiff. Two clever and pretty girls, the Carlows, amply justified the award of merit which the audiences at the other halls on Mr. Stoll's tour Vhave so freely accorded them. They proved themselves, both in song and dance, a very admirable turn in- deed. Frank Leon not only infuses no inconside- rable amount of comedy into his vocal efforts, but also dances as few in the business can dance, he obtaining round after round of applause from the Shonis," who evi- dently appreciated his marvellous "stepping." The Brady and Johnson Combinatisn, compris- ing Rose Nye, Marie Johnson. Jockey: Watson, and Albert Brady, in their sketch entitled Little Bull Pup," alse forced the crowded audiences to exercise their risible faculties until there could not have been a side in the hall that was not aching. Miss Flo Wood, a very pleasing- serio- c-omedian, also gave thorough satisfaction both in dress, appearance, and vocalisation. These, with Miss Aggie Blomfield, a pert and clever little songstress and dancer, of whom very likely more will be heard, completed a pro- gramme which provided the devotees of the Empire, or whoever takes what is found at the Empire, with sufficient buttons to last them for the rest of their natural life. Newport. There could hardly be a stronger or more varied holiday bill than that which was put before the two big houses on Monday evening. Cazman. the great master shadowist. was a novel and most agreeable treat. The great fun which was produced by the Juanita Burlesque Sketch Combination was at once uproarious and genuine. In sensational hand jumping- Letta' and Foden delighted the house Little Flossie, the American child marvel, had specialities which distinguish her from all prodigies which have appeared recently, whilst in the black line the Columbia Trio of Singers capture the confec- tionery easily. Swansea. The bill of fare presented a.t the Swansea Empire on Monday bristled with attractive- ness. The Happy Hay tors, in the side- splitting go-as-yon-plea.se absurdity enti- tled The Sultan's Pet," was received at both performances with much enthusiasm. The well-known vocalists and patterers, the Courtneys, made a decided hit, and Kate Paradise, with her troop of pretty girls, created quite as favourable an impres- sion as at Cardiff last week. Professor Burko, who is one of the cleverest men in his line on the road, described on the bill as a inystiher of electric smartness," aroused the audience to screams of laughter by his performance. The professor culti- vates a freshness in his magical dis- plays. which is far away from the worn-out style ordinarily displayed. The Espoliers, a clever troupe of gymnasts, went through their antics with infinite credit, the descent down the single wire while sus- ment. The performance of Joe Ives, the in- 'I strumental comedian, and the two Bostons, the bullfighters, brought to a close an excellent programme, which reflects the highest credit upon the enterprising manager—Mr. Oswald Swll. Cardiff Aiham bra. This popular house of varieties was simply packed on Monday night, and the bill of fare provided by the management gave the greatest satisfaction. The most important item in the programme this week is the baboon and donkey show, from the j Empire, London. For the time being the stage is turned into a circus ring, and the performance introduced by the two animals is both clever and ludicrons. The baboon goes through all the usual circus tricks on the donkey's back, and creates roars of laughter. The Everemond Trio, who pose as musical grotesques, contortionists, &c" had a grand reception, and Maud Learner sustained the reputation of that talented family. Onzalo's aerial Sights are very sensational in character, and have the merit of being, in a measure, original. M'Cormack and Casey, who are well known in Cardiff, are as entertaining- as ever, their smart patter producing the greatest hilarity among the audience. Mr. Syd Godfrey, a character vocalist; The Bermudas, who pose as burlesque performers and Miss Ida Bailey, 8 transformation dancer, coaiplet-e a. capital programme. Ohee Minstrels in Cardiff. A large number of persons assembled in the Park-hall. Cardiff, to hear a uerformance by the Ohee Minstrels on Easter Monday evening. The programme consisted of contributions by Wee Curley BraiJyn, Mr. R P. Jones, Mr. Harry Rose. Mr. D. Bryant and troupe, Mr. Jameson White, Mr. J. Burke, Little Tit, Mr. J. Kelleher. Mr. Jess Clatworthy. and Mr. A. Prankerd, The songs were grave and gay and were well ren- dered, and the performance conclude:! with the comic sketch entitled Inscratchuscrat- chulum. Cardiff Panopticon. That the Cardiff Panopticon has won its way into public favour was amply exemplified on Easter Monday. The place was crowded throughout the day, and at night the crowd was so great that some hundreds could Dot gain i admission. The sta.ge performances in the after- noon and evening were, with perhaps one excep- tion, exceptionally good. Leoni Clarke, who intro- duces to the spectators 170 cats, rats, mice, canaries, and cockatoos, simply beats anything in this department which has been seen in Cardiff. The very idea of cats and mice per- forming together appears ludicrous, but those who will look in at the Panopticon this week will find that training can even accomplish this marvellous feat. Jacko and Jocko come on the stage as monkeys, and the tricks they play are most amusing. Wallis and Langton are responsible for supplying most ef the fun, and compare very favourably with the remainder of the excellent turns." The side shows are particularly good. England's performing fleas, about 40 in number, nerform feats which must be seen to be believed. An optical delusion. The Boy Mahatma," is very attractive, and among the phenomenons are the Clock-eyed Lady and Pierre, the man with an elastic skin. The maze and the rink created immense amusement on Monday.

RADICAL SECESSIONS. Mr.W.Saunders Explains the Reasons for His Action. Mr. W. Saunders, M.P-. in hi? letter to Mr. Thomas Ellis, the Chief Government Whip, severing his connection with the Gladstonian party, protests against the Premier's references to the taxation of ground values in his St. James's-hall speech, from which the hon. mem- ber draws the irresistible inferl"1we that the matter will not be dealt with in the forth- coming Budget. "To coolly propose the un. abated continuance of the present unjust sys- tem Ijecause the opponents of the reforms we propose are now admitting its justice and the necessity for its adoption would," continues Mr. Saunders, "be regarded as -buffoonery, .f uttered by irresponsible persons. In the mouth of the Prime Minister it i" a mockery of human suffering. > a. denial of common justice, and a breach of solemn promises by which power has been obtained." Mr. Saunders is of opin;on that Lord Rosebery's utterances have made confusion worse confounded. The hon. member recognises the administrative improve- ments in the conditions of industry made by the present Government, but, he adds, so long as the Government fail to fulfil the promises of the Newcastle programme with regard to the adjustment of taxation I cannot regard myself as one of their supporters."

KOSSUTH'S FUNERAL t A Reuter's Turin telegram of Monday says -The funeral of Louis Kossuth has been fixed for nine o clock on Wednesday morning. After a service in the E vangelical Church the remains will be conveyed to the railway station, where the procession will arrive about eleven o'clock. The coffin will remain there in a temporary mortuary chamber till the evening, when the Municipality of Turin will hand it over to a epresentat-iye of the Budapest Municipality. The body will be taken to Budapest by sneciai 1 train, leaving at eight o clock, and reaching J&tfey iagraios.

MEMORIAL TO A CAT. A Humorous Scene Witnessed in a Caff at Venice. In an old cafe in Venice there lived a mag- nificent cat. the pet of all the guests. This cat lately died peacefully, and when the news got about some neighlx>urs made a collection of two hundred francs for the purpose of erecting some sort of monument. The work was confided to two artists, who modelled the statue of the cat in clay, and took a piaster cast. painted like bronze. The other evening this little monument was inaugurated at the cafe. and so great was the crowd that the doors had to be shut. The ceremony was conducted in serio- comic style: speeches were made. poetry was recited, the monument wa," placed in position, and, finally, the master of the oafe was pre- sented with an album containing prose end v erse, and a number of pretended letters of condolence signed with the names of high per- sonages. As the sculptors refused any re- muneration. the sum collected was distributed among the poor.
