WELSH CHURCH. Strong Speech by Sir M. Hicks-Beach at Gloucester. Speakinar on Wednesday at the Gloucester and Bristol Dioce-an Conference, Sir Michael Hicks-Beacli said the Welsh Disestablishment Bill would probably pass the Commons and meet its fate in another place, but they had no right to depend on the Lords for anything like permanent opposition to the disestablish- inent and disendowment of the Church in Wale?, if it should unfortunately prove that such policy commended itself to the majority of the electors. They must, therefore, bestir themselves, for Welsh disestablishment not only affected mere temporalities, but eccle- siastical anarchy must ensue. They should press their Parliamentary representatives at every opportunity, whatever the views of their representatives might be. The dioceses attacked were bone of their bone and flesh of their fiesh, and if they failed to put forth every effort to secure that right and truth should prevail they would be wanting in their duty to them- selves. their country, and their God.

INKERMANN. Anniversary Banquet to Welsh Veterans, at Cardiff. On Tuesday evening the committee elected fm: the purjiose of organising a banquet for the Crimean and Indian Mutiny veterans resident: in the district to celebrate the victory of Inicerniann met at the Griffin Hotel, Cardiff. —Mr Spiridion presided, and stated that it had lieen the wish or the committee to hold the banquet on November 5, the anniversary of the Battle of InkermatMi, but as it was impos- sible to obtain the use of the Assembly-room at the Town-hall on that date, owing to the mayor's banquet being fixed for the following day, the date would have to be postponed until about the end of the third week in .November.—Mr. Sainsbury estimated that there would be nearly 160 guests, it being the object of the committee to have present every veteran, living in Cardiff, Penarth, and Ba.rrv.-To facilitate the secretary's task of sending out invitations all veterans are earnestly requested to Fetirl in their names noc later than November 7 to Mr. Sainsbury, accountant, 4, Alexandra-roa>ri, Canton. The banuuet will, in all probability, be graced bv the prw-ence of Lieutenant-general TTuirh Rowlands, C.B., who has been invited by the committee. The eatables and drinkables for the feast have already been promised by tradesmen, and all additional expenditure that will be incurred, it is expected, will be easily obtained by those gentlemen who have taken subscription books for the purpose. ^BMCT——

G.W.R. FACILITIES, Company Studying the Comfort of South Wales Passengers. The following important letter from the general manager of the Great Western Railway Company has been received by Mr. E. H. Watts, jun., of the United National Collieries (Limited), Cardiff, who recently wrote the company making various suggestions with reference to the comfort of railway passengers from South Wales to London [COPT.] Great Western Railway, General Manager's Office, Paddington Station, London, W., October 18th, 1894. Dear Sir,—I am much obliged for your letter of the 16th inst. containing various suggestions for the greater comfort of passengers using the company's railway. With the view of meeting your suggestion in regard to sleeping accommodation, I have given instructions that on and from Monday next, the 22nd inst., the sleeping carriage on the South Wales mail train is to be put into a" siding on arrival at Padding- ton and remain there until eight o'clock, so that passengers may have the opportunity of sleeping until that time. With regard to the proposed provi- sion of (lining cars, you are correct in saying that we have already had the matter under consideration, but we have had no serious demand for accommoda- tion of the kind, and the directors, having this fact before them, coupled with the unprofitable character of such cars, have not hitherto seen their way to run them. Of course, I need hardly point out to you that luncheon baskets are available, and the tables, which are supplied at a trilling charge, are found to be of considerable convenience. With regard to the mid- night train, I may inform you that on the 1st proximo we are commencing to run a train at 12.15 a.m. from London to Bristol and the- West of Eutjlar.fl, which we are able to accomplish with the engines which we I are runniug from the West of England to Padding- ton. This train will be due to reach Bristol at four a.m., but the first train from Bristol to Cardiff does not leave until 6.5 a.m. I have, however, given instructions that the carriages of the letter train shall be placed where passengers can get into them on the aarival of the midnight train from London, and remain umdisturbed until their departure for South Wales.-I am, dear sir, yours truly, (Signed) Hy. LAMBERT. „

Ultimately the case was adjourned iintil next Tuesday.

MILITARY BAZAAR AT NEWPORT. The military bazaar in aid of the funds of the 2nd Volunteer Battalion South Wales Borderers was continued at the Drill-hall, Newport, on Wednesday.

I OLD AGE PENSIONS. Formation of a National League Decided On. Under the presidency of Sir James Kitson there was a conference of delegates on Wed- nesday in the Masomohall, Birmingham, to I inaugurate the National Old-age Pensions League, which has been formed to advocate the restoration to the people of the tithee, dole, charities, and other similar national property, and the conversion of revenues tlierefroni into a national fund for providing old-age pensions. Resolutions were passed approving of this object antj setting forth that the proposed old- age pensions fund should be administered by representative local authorities, under the super- vision of the Lccal Government Board. It was also resolved to urge the appointment of a Royal Commission to go exhaustively int9 the whole question of ecclesiastical endowmHitt and its administration." A further resolution was passed to form branches of the league and to 1' promote the return of meml)ers of Parliament favoura ble to its purposes. Mr. Broad hurst and other members of Parliament were present.

EAST CARMARTHEN, The Candidature of Mr. Ernald Richardson. A public meeting was held at the Town-hall, I .lcn do very, on Tuesday evening, to support the ow.dida,ture of Mr. Krriaid K. Kic-bardson, of Glanbrvdan Park, the selected candidate to represent the Conservatives in opposition .to Mr. Aliel Thomas at the next election. The hall was crowded. Mr. W. P. 'Jeffreys, Cynglierdy Hall, presided.—Mr. Richardson received a most cordial reception, and dealt with several of the Government Bills. He strongly opfiosed Home Rule. If this should be given to Ireland, why shouldn't Wales or any other country get it? He thought it would be the ruination of the country if this Bill were passed. He strongly favoured old-age pen- sions, but opposed the proposed Disestablish- ment and Disendowment Bill. He thought it was robljery to take the endowments from the Church- As to the taking away of the tithes, the farmers would not benefit by it, as they would have to pay some amount, which would be given for secular purposes, such as museums, art sralleries, &c., which they, in an agricultural district, did not necessarily re- quire.Mr- James and Mr. Nicholas, Llandilo, also addressed the meeting.—Mr. Bishop, Cwmrythan, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Richardson, which, was seconded by Mr. D. Jones-Lewis, barrister-at-law, and carried — A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the meeting.

On Wednesday Mr. Robert Lewis, the bailiff of Newca.stle-Eml.yn County-court, continued his distraining operations for arrears of tithe rent-charge in the parish of Penybryn, Car- diganshire. He Was again accompanied by a police escort, and Alderman C. M. Williams again formed one of the party, and was of great assistance in preserving peace. Three farms were visited. Although at times the crowd threatened active hostility, it resulted in nothing more serious than an attack on the offending white horse which had on the pre- ceding day drawn the forfeited cart into Ne w- castle.

THE CLANDEBOYE. Identity of the Victim of the Recent Fatal Accident. A communication has been received from Mr. George Forbes, master of the steamship Clande- bov e. dated Las Palmas, October 15, stating that his late second mate, who was killed by the full of a lump of coal from one of the coal hoists at the Alexandra Dock.

SERIOUS CHARGE AT SWANSEA.

Some Chinese Tortures, INFAMOUS CRUELTIES TO PRISONERS. The Cage, the Boiling Snake, Squeezing I Suspension, and Other Barbarous Practices. If the war between the Chinese and Japanese should result in tfhe suocess of the latter it is not unlikely that a few reforms in China's Government may follow, as the Japanese are rapidly taking a front rank among the educated and enlightened nations. One of the first re- sultoS of such enforced, oivilisation would prob- ably be the abolition of the Chinese system of ■ torture. The punishment' now imposed on the Mongolian, criminal or culprit in China. by. Chinamen, exceed in cruelty, not to say bar- barity, those of any other civilised nation. The fact that such cruelties are often inflicted for insignificant crimes, or, perhaps, merely to gratify the malice or whim of a captious man- darin, makes them doubly heinous. Modes of torture and punishment in the Celestial Empire are of two kinds—legal and illegal. The latter are frequently practised by magistrates and gaolers—by magistrates for the purpose of elicit- ing confess-ion of guilt, and by gaolers in order to extort money from the prisoners. The methods of illegal torture are numerous, and the pain caused by them is often excruciating. Many of them receive their specific names from the implement or apparatus employed in the infliction of the torture. In the form known as the "cage" punisnment, the olTender is placed in a cage, his head pro- truding through an opening in the top, and the cage is so adjusted as to allow the tips of his toes only to touch the ground. The victim is either obliged to stand thus, or be hung by the neck if he attempts to change his position. To stand long on tiptoe is almost impossible, and the wretched offendar is thus made to suffer intense pain. Persona, are known to have been placed in such a cage in a public place, and kept there until deaitli has come to their relief. The "snake" punishment consists in twining around the body of the victim snake-like coils, made of some malleable metal, so arranged that the arms of the prisoner are thrust into one set, while another passes around the body. After these are adjusted boiling water is poured into their through the moutlus of the serpents, causing tJH flesh of the victim to burn a,nd blister in a horrible manner. This mode of punishment is almost exclusively used on state prisoners. In the "suspending" punishment the prisoner is either suspended on a horizontal bar by one hand and one foot, or else by the hands tied together at the back, and also at the feet. In either of these positions the pain, when the tor- ture is long continued, is so great that- tihe victim. loses consciousness. Both hands and the feefc are frequently ^dislocated in this manner. The form of torture known an "finger-squeezing" ia usually employed by majgistrates to extort- non- fessions. The fingers on eaoh hand of thf prisoner are fixed between rods, so arranged that by pulling a end th.. finders a-e squeezed between them. The more the cord is pulled the tighter the fingers are squeezed. So dreadful is the pain caused by this torture that after a. short time almost invariably the prisoner is willing to confess almost anything his accuser: desires. There are almost numberless other tortures of different, degrees of barbarity and ingenious cruelty, but the foregoing are those in daily public use. The Chinese themselves are so habituated to such practices that they have come to regard them a.s institutions that cannot be done away with. Only outside inter ference will ever relieve them of this dreadful f, ie incubus.

ENGLAND AND ITALY. The Position of the Two Powers in Africa and Egypt. A Dalziel's telegram from Paris on Wednes- day says:—A special correspondent wntes from Rome that certain serious diplomatic correspondence lias been going on between the Cabinets of London and Rome respecting African, and particularly Egyptian affanrs. This is said to be the explanation of the re-call of Count Tarnielli, Ambassador to the Court of St. James. Count. Torn iell i, it appears, haa not supported Signor Crispi in his efforts to arrive at an agreement with England. lie is further reported to be unfavourable to such an understanding, sympathising rather with France than with England. He will not fie sent to St. Petersburg, but will remain out of office. Another important diplomatic move- ment will take place shortly. It is persistently affirmed that Signor Crispi is determined to re- call Signor Kessmann from Paris, nothmth- standing that the latter has declared that- if he leaves Paris he will withdraw from the diplo- matic service. What. makes Signor Crispi- hesitate in regard to Paris is the great difficulty of finding a qualified successor for the post, for, Signor Ressniann is much esteemed and liked. The re-call of General Lanza from Berlin ia also decided upon. but may be somewhat delayed as the Emperor William is personally much attached to him.

M. Williams, rector of Dowlais, whose visit,made 111 response to a request receiT# from the prise,tier himself, was paid for th* special purpose of administering to the un- happv cuiprit religious consolation. On the occasion of the interview with the rector, Blissett was most dejected, and he kept ej> claimni £ r, k I am wry ba<i; I am very bwf. lie ir;K<de inquiries as to his children, and m begged the rector to see that his youngest daw-lite7- and his little boy in particular werr properly looked after. He appeared perfectly penitent for his crime, and paid it w. all like a dream to him, adding that he did not know what could have possessed him. H' seemed to view the outcome of the furthcomin, trial with a certain degree of complacency.
