WILLENHALL VACANCY. Only Three Candidates are in the Running. The requisition to the churchwardens of St. Giles, asking them to convene a meeting of the congregation, was presented on Thursday after- noon, but it was then found impossible to fix deftnito date, but the meeting is expected to be held either next Monday or Tuesday. The election will take place on Thursday, April 26, and the poll will be open from ten a.m. to six p.m. The election will be an open one; each voter will have to declare who he intends to support. An agent for each of the candidates will be permitted to be present in the room during the progress of the poll, but will not be allowed to interfere or take exception to any vote tendered. All votes will be accepted on making the required declaration to the return- ing officer, the particulars of which have already appeared in our columns. The re- turning officer's name haa not yet transpired, nor where the polling will take place. Mr. Page has a very energetic band of workers, who express their confidence in his being successful; but as Mr. Rosedate is in town, his course of action will largely depend upon the voice of St. Giles's congregation as expressed at the meeting to be held early next week. He has held as yet no public meeting, nor arranged for any, but his committee have been engaged the past week in systematic canvass. Mr. Page addressed a public meeting in the Town- hall on Thursday evening. From present appearance, there are only three serious candi- dates-Rosedale, Ward, and Page. It was reported that the Rev. Mr. Ford, who has issued an address, would address a meeting in the Town-hall to-night (Friday), but no cir- culars or bills have been issued confirming this. Originally there were 45 aspirants, but several who paid a visit to the town in the early stages of the vacancy have not re-appeared on the scene.

ROYALTY IN WALES. The Duke of Cambridge Inspects the Forts at Tenby. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at Tenby on Thursday eveBine- by the 6.5 down express, and proceeded to the Royal Gate House Hotel, where a handsome suite of apartments had been provided for his use. The duke was met at the station by Colonel Goodeve, A.A.G., and Captain Phillips, staff officer 41st Regiment. In his Royal High- ness's suite are Lieutenant-general Sir Richard Harrison, K.C.B., commanding the Western District; General Sir Redvers Buller, G.C.B., adjutant-general; Major-general Lloyd, adjutant- general of Artillery and Colonel Fitzgeorge, A.D.C. There was a large number of persona outside the railway station to witness the an Ival of his Royal Highness, who was driven to the Royal Gate House Hotel in a handsome pair- horse carriage belonging to Mrs. Benjamin Griffiths. This (Friday) morning his Royal High- ness will proceed to Pembroke Dock by special tram at ten o'clock, and inspect the troops in garrison, and visit the defences of Milford Haven in her Majesty's steamship Stormcock, returning to Tenby immediately afterwards by special train. The whole of the distinguished company are staying at the Royal Gate House Hotel, where Mr. H. J. Gregory has made every arrangement for the comfort and convenience of the distinguished party. On arrival at Pembroke Dock an escort will be provided by the orders of Colonel Saurin, composed of the Pembroke Yeo- manry Cavalry, who will precede the carriage of his Royal Highness through the streets of Pem- broke Do ck to the dockyard.

CARDIFF MAYOR'S SALARY. The Action Against the Ex-Mayor May Come On To-day. The action by the Labour members of the Cardiff Corporation against, the ex-mayor (Councillor W. E. Vaughan) and Alderman Thomas Rees, will, in all probability, come on for hearing in the high courts either to-day (Friday), or to-morrow (Saturday). The Mayor (Councillor Trounce), Alderman Thomas ltees, and the borough treasurer (Mr. Green-hill) are at present in London, and, with the following have received subpoenas to attend the court and give evidence, viz. :—Aldermen Jacobs, Carey, and D. Jones, and Councillors morgan Morgan, Ramsdale, F. J. Eea-van, Andrews, and Vaughan. This action involves a big principle, and means that, any ratepayer can take action against gentlemen who have held the poaiton of mayor of Cardff during the last ten years to recover money voted to their salaries for aa especial purpose. As pointed out in our columns oil a previous ocoa»suwi, the amount involved is, in round figures, £ 10,000.

DOCK ACCOMMODATION. Important Action of the Bute Company at Cardiff. Because two years ago the Bute Docks Com- pany withdrew the Bill which they promoted for the construction of a new dock at Cardiff, there are many people who think that the Bill now before Parliament will meet with a similar fate. We are in a position to state that the company are thoroughly in earnest in their desire to improve the accommodation at Car- dift It is possible that they will not carry all the clauses of the Bill. There will, for instance, be a very determined opposition offered to those portions of it which, if passed, would give the company running powers over local railways, but, as the company have no' railway of their own, it is only reasonable, if they are going to make a new dock, that they J should have some guarantee that that dock would receive a fair share of the export trade Whatever becomes of these clauses, it is evident that the Bute Company are determined to make a new dock on the foreshore east of the low- water pier. The work of constructing an embankment parallel with the Roath Dock, and in the direction of the pier, is being pushed forward with all possible speed. As most vessels now use water ballast, the quantity of sand, stone, &c., discharged aA Cardiff is very much less than when the Roath Dock was constructed, and what is unloaded on the wharves is used almost exclusively in the neighbourhood of the Dowla-is Ironworks. It became necessary, therefore, to look else- where for material to form the embankments on the foreshore. Sir William Thomas Lewis, the general manager of the company, has, therefore, purchased two immense cinder-tips at Penilyroh, and thif material is being con- veyed to Cardiff ait the rate of 600 to 700 tons per day, and tipped opposite the Roath Dock. At this rate it will take years to convey the thousands upon thousands of tons of cinders from Pentyrch to Cardiff. The facts which we have given are, however, sufficient to satisfy merchants, shipowners, importers, and others interested in the development of the port that the Bute Dooks Company are in earnest in their attempt to provide accommodation for1 increased trade. During the firet quarter of this year the quantity of coal shipped from the port of Cardiff and from the Bute Docks was largely in excess of the figures for the corresponding period, and the prospects for the future are encouraging.

CARDIFF SCHOOL BOARD. Deputation from the Waifs and Strays Society. The monthly meeting of the Cardiff School Board was held at the Town-hall on Thursday, under the presidency of Mr. Lewis Williams. There were also present Mr. S. A. Brain, Mr. J. Cory, Dr. Edwards, the Rev. F. J. Beck, the Rev. J. Hayde, Mr. J. Milner, Mr. J. Gardner, the Rev. A. Tilly, the Rev. J. M. Jones, Dr. Treharne, the Rev. Monsignor Williams, Mr. E. Dobbin, Dr. T. Wallace, Mr. D. Rees (clerk), and Mr. J. J. Jackson (inspector). A deputation, consisting of Messrs. G. C. Thompson, P. Thomas, D. Maclean, W. Lewis, J. R. Smithers, F. H. Jotham, and W. H. John- eitone, Dr. Horder, and the Rev. W. Spurgeon, waited upon the board from the Waifs and Strays Society. Before proceeding with the business, the Chairman said, in view of the very serious allegations which had been made against the board, they would like to know whether it was the intention of the members of the Waifs attd Strays Society to sustain those charges— that dullards and the poorer class of children were excluded from the schools. Dr. Horder said they as a society had made no accusation of that kind against the board, and he should be glad if it could be pointed out where that accusation had been made. The Chairman said the allegation had been frequently made in the press, but there was not the slightest justification for that charge. The policy of the board had been entirely in a different, direction. Dr. Horder said he had no knowledge that eueh a charge had been made. The Chairman said they had heard this tiling stated, and they had instituted several in-v quiries, with the result that they had not been able to find a. single caee where a child had been excluded. If there was any such case, the board would take very serious action in the matter. Dr. Horder said the deputation asked the board to consider the desirability of estab- lishing at Cardiff a day industrial school. The society had reason to know that there was a. large class of children who were at present not receiving any adequate education. These schools had been tried at Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, and other towns, and they had been found to be successful. The parents and Treasury both contributed to the support of the school, and the average cost had been found to be about JM per head per annum. Mr. Carslake Thompson having addreseed the board, Mr. W. H. Johnstone referred to personal investigations he had made at the Bristol school, and stated that the o&ciale there found the school satisfactory in every respect. Mr. Percy Thomas said that in other towns where industrial schools had been adopted they had been carried on with very great bene- fit to the children for whom they were intended. The Rev. F. J. Beck said, out of 162 school boards in towns, only 25 had got these schools. The board found the cost of erecting these special schools was about JB10,000 apiece, and the question was whether they were justified in spending' ratepayers' money to that extent. It had been stated that the Cardiff School Board was behind other school boards, but his contention was that they could prove there wa.s not the necessity for an industrial school, and that the Cardiff board was in a better position than other boards. The Chairman recognised the good work done by the Waifs and Strays Society, but the figures they had published in- dicated that they had been too often imposed upon. The bulk of the children who, they stated, were out of school the board could prove were attending schools in the town. The question before them was one really of policy. The board contended that it was a far wiser policy to gather the children into the better atmosphere and environment of their large schools than to class them with each other as semi-criminals. The deputation urged on them the examples of Liverpool and Bristol. Let them compare those places. A fair test-he did not know a severer test-was the police returns of juvenile crime. At Liverpool last year the magistrates, at the direct prosecution of the police, committed 400 children to refor- matories and industrial schools; at Bristol over 100. These were the places where the policy of the deputation was adopted; but in Cardiff, where the policy they complained of was adopted, with an equally vigilant police, the magistrates sent but ten, a result of which Car- diff might be justly proud. Mr. D. Maclean pointed out that out of 614 children who had appeared before the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children about 400 were deficient in education, and were to be found generally in the streets. The deputation then withdrew. The Rev. Monsignor Williams said when children had b?en proceeded against for non- attendance the difficulty always was that they could not get the magistrates to convict, and when a child literally defied the board the policy used to be to allow that child to run about the streets. The Rev. A. Tilly said when the magistrates refused to convict he himself opposed the taking out of fresh summonses, because he con- sidered it was a wasteful expenditure of public money. The Rev. Monsignor Williams contended that it was the duty of the board to see that those children were made to attend school. The matter then dropped. It was decided to issue a precept, for the next six months for £ 14.400. This. Mr. Brain re- marked, was equal to a rate of 9d. in the £ A deputation. consM-ting of Messrs. Will- mott, Broekiiigton, Kent, and a lady teacher, attended on behalf of the head teachers in refe- rence to the proposal of the board to reduce their share of the Government, grant from two- fifths to two-sevenths. It was pointed out that such an action would be an injustice to the older teachers of the board, who, in rases of school extensions, would have more work and more responsibility without increased re- muneration.—The matter was referred to the general purposes committee. The other business of the meeting was of a routine character.

Some Very Queer Dinners THE FREAKS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE LITTLE TO DO. Every Gaest Masqueraded as an Animat at a Dinner Recently Given in Gay Paris. A great catalogue might be made of dmna table eccentricities, and of the freaks of diners People who have little to do in the world oftet do that little as freakishly as they can, an* dinners give them many opportunities of displays Pierre Loti, for instance, is very fond of masquerades and of organising queer dinner parties. Some time ago he give a party in his villa, at Trouville, to which aN the guests invited had to go in costumes of the Louis XI. period. The dining-room was decorated in fifteenth century styie; the dishes were made from the directions in a cookery book which belonged1 to Louis's daughter; the servants were dressed as the attendants of that time, and music of the ifteenth century waf played. Loti himself was dressed as the King, aad oae who was there < says the only thing necessary to complete the illusion was a less modern stylw of conversation. M. Jan Van Beers, the famous painter, has lately devised a plan whereby hit guests are really seated upon the edge of a trap door. The first coarse being finished, the table sinks through the trap and another, laid for the second course, ascends to its place And so the tables rise and descend till tht dinner is completed. This device was not um known in earlier ages, for Charles IL made visei of it in some of his revels. A strange freak of the dinner-hour was exhibited in Paris some time ago. The dinner was apparently intended to depict the feeding time at the Zoo. Every guest, and there were one hundred, had to disguise himself or herself as an animal. One man went as a drake, a lady as a panther, and the dresses were remarkably real. People talked of this queer menagerie for many a day.

But, at the same time, I hope you will let me tell your readers that the real reaeoni why the speed of sea-going passenger stearoeis has increased so slowly of late years is tfcafc our great shipbuilders by using scsew pro- pellers at the stern of the ship are unabfee to increase the propelling surface'' step step with each increase of propelling "poweaf. If a man who had a flour-mill with twelve pairs of stones and a suitable engine were to double the power of his engine and then t-iy; to make double the hour by running the whtai twice as fast through the stoaea every practical miller would teii him he wae a fboi; that he might make a little more flour (certainly Bat" double), but that it would be of much wopeat quality, and that if he wanted to utilise his intweased engine-power he must put up twiao as many pairs of stones and other things ia proportton. "Boi I have no room to Pttt up more «sfeones and more bolting BJacni«esJ Then, Mr. Miller, rest aesured yoa oaeact make flour (of good quality), in sptte of your doubl,epower steam engine, beyond yaw aragg*- nal output. Now that, sir, is the position of ear 'sesuw- propelled" steamships. Better and lazgef boilers and bigger and better engines we nap- less unless they cam increase the siae of the screw propellers, and that cannot be done because the draught of the ship and the breadth of the ship limit the diameter of the pro- pellers that can be got in. Our present Atlantic linerc. therefore, have reached the limit of their speed so long as they are propelled onty by two screws placed in the stem of the ship, one on each side of the deadwood, because it is impossible to increase the propelling "• f:we" to enable it to utilise an increase of the propelling "power." The old paddle-wheels were discarded because they were placed in the worst possible posi*M*»» one wheel on each side of the vessel, just, cup- ping into the water, where every roll of the vessel affected their working most injuriously at one moment almost out of the watw and at the next so deep that an immense pro- portion of the power was wasted in preswng down the water in front and lifting it up behind, without adding in any way to the speed or propulsion of the vessels. Now, I have a plan of wheel in which telle paddles airfI always perpendicular, and which are placed in the very centre of the vessel, the bottom of the wheel just inside the bottom of the ship, working in a clear fore and aft water channel to propel the ship, while the upper portion of the wheel is placed in an airtight casmg fillet with compressed air of such & tension as wiM prevent the water rising higher on the wheel than the point fixed on as best for its prontabte working. Therefore, the upper part of the wheel is working in air. I place there wheeto one behind the oth-er in a. long string, so that I get a-ny quantity of prc^elim^. surface, far exceeding the a*rea of the submerged portion of the cross-section of the ship. An Atlantic liner with twin-screws, drawing 24-it. of water, and. say, 50ft, hearn. would have Ai submerged cross section of 1,200 square, feet. The utmost propelling surface that such II; vessel could obtain with twin-screws would be about 850ft. Now. 1 could get three tiyiien that surface, or more if it were necessary, for my wheels can be made of any size, and might occupy, if necessary, two-thirds of the whole length of the ship Now, as to speed, our fastest Atlantic liners go, I believe, about 24 miles an hour (21 knots** and there can be very little doubt that, If it' will pay," vessels can be built to go a greaii deal faster than that. There are no trust- worthy statistic? to show the extra power needed to drive a vessel at double speed. The learned doctors" differ widely! One set say the necessary power increases on the square of the speed. Another set say it increases on the cube of the speed. Suppose 1 "et those figures clearly forward. Tite /are gen- tJemen say of a certain power (call It 100) will drive a certain ship ten miles ar hour; then to drive that ship twenty miles an hour will require 20 x 20 400, while the cube gen* tleinen say that it would need 20 x 20 x 20 1,600 times as much! Rather a, wide difference here but we all know doctors do differ. But how about 60 miles an hour? Well, the square of 60 is 3,600, and the cube of 60 is 216,000. Prodigious, as Dominie Sampson used to say. Where one set of learned doctors say 3,600 i^ the figure, and another set say no, it must bo 216,000. 1 think we may safely say, "Nothing but actual experiment can tell us." Un- doubtedly, the power needed increases in at much greater ratio tlian the speed; but that it increases as the square or the cube I do not believe. But, whatever may be the power needed, we can most assuredly build ships strong enough and make boilers and engines powerful cnoutrh to greatly mcreaee the speed. But we can never increase the speed, no matter how strong our shijw or how powerful our engines, if we cannot also increase the surface of our propellers step by step as we increase the power of our engines. Now, I have alreadj pointed out that, the propelling "surface" oaai not. lie increased so long -,is our shipbuilder use only twin screws at the stern of the vessel Although I am an old man. 1 hope to se« steamers running at 60 miles (1 do not menl. knots) an hour, but if it be too expensive for coals, then 50 or even 40 would be a wonderrut advance on the present maximum of 24 miles,; and a 40-mile steamer would_ most assuredly run every 24-mile steamer off its station.—I am, &e.. t G.
