COAL TRADE CRISIS. DO THE HAULIERS MEAN TO STRIKE? The ^Financial News," in a. leading article on the. present crisis in the South Wales coal trade, after referring to the position of affairs and the pending ballot of the colliers on the question of whether they should withdraw their notice to stop work and again adopt the slid- irg-scale arrangement, says:—"Our impression is that neither party wants to fight; but the fear is, nevertheless, that matters may drift. If the result of the ballot should be in favour of the renewal of tht scale the position will be simplified, because there is little doubt that when a scale has been settled the employers will waive the noticse they have given. It is, in connection with the position—already serious enough—a reprehensible thing for anyone to put in cir- culation rumours which are not correct. It has been represented in one of the South Wales papers that even if the colliers continue to work after the end of this month, the hauli,ers are determined not to do so. There is no reason for this statement. It is true the hauliers claim to have grievances; of their own. and that they are at this moment endeavOuting to raovf the Home alleged ill treatment of horses underground, at the instanoe (as alleged) of employers, in South Wales. Such issues should not, however, be confounded with the general crisis. As a fact. the hauliers have passed no resolution to defeat the colliers* as from the objectionable rumours would appaar to tore been the cut" FURTHER RESULTS OF THE BALLOT. THE COLLIERS SUPPORT THE SLIDING-SCALE. The votes recorded at the Plymouth Collieries, Merthyr, show a large majority '.n favour of the continuation of the sliding-scale. The com- mittce charged with the duty of counting the ba!lot papers have declined, however, to reveal the exact papers. CYFARTHFA COLLIERIES, MERTHYR.

Mr. Alfred Thomas, M.P., introduced to the Home Secretary on Friday afternoon Mr. Morgan Thomas, general secretaxy of the hauliers and wagemen of South Wales and Monmouthshire, a-iid Mr. Gill, treasurer of the society. The two representatives desired him to call the attention of Mr. Asquith to the question of <-ruelty to animals, which, they j'llege, is very prevalent in many collieries. Mr. Morgan Thomas gave the Home Secretary many instances in support of his allegations, iiid he was supported by Mr. Gill. Mr. Asquith, jJl reply, thanked the two South Walians for the cognent manner in which they had stated their ease, and said that, if they would send him a written report, embodying their assertions, he would go carefully mto the whole question, and to do all that was possible to remedy the evils complained of.

Accident to Councillor White. Councillor White, of Cardiff, met with a rather bad accident when in London on busi- ness on Friday. He was making for his 1.otel —the Inns of Court—about five o'clock to get his luggage, preparatory to leaving by the 5.45 train for home, and was waiting behind a 'bus to oross the street when a doctor's carriage came into collision with that vehicle. Coun- cillor White was struck on the shoulder and face by the splashboard of the doctor's carriage. The right cheek under the eye was badly cut, and the wound bled profusely, but, fortunately, the injury is not of a serious character. He was conveyed to a chemist's shop, where the wound was attended to, and he was able to leave by the express as he intended.

SERIOUS LOCAL FAILURE. MR. THOMAS CORY SUSPENDS PAYMENT. It is with regret that we learn from our Swansea correspondent that Mr. Thomas Cory, of Swansea, who for many years has been one of the foremost merchants in South Wales, suspended payment on Friday. Mr. Thomas Cory is a brother of Mr. John Cory and Mr. Richard Cory, of the firm of Cory Bros. and Co. (Limited), of Cardiff. He has no connec- tion with this firm, but is a director of the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway Company, of the Penrhiwceiber Coal Company (Limited), of the Graigola Coal Company (Limited), of the International Coal Company (Limited), and other companies. For many years he resided at Sketty Court, Swansea, and carried on an extensive business at Swansea as a oolliery proprietor and coal merchant. For the past few years ^he has lived at Neville Court, V- bridge ijTellg, spending several days weekly at SwarSea to attend to his business there. Mr. Cory was chairman of the directors of the Bank of Wal«3 and on, thgt bank going into liquidation he was appoitjLed joint liqui- with Dovey; pzmo ant., of Oafditf. At the recent general meeting of the shareholders at Cardiff Mr. Vachell, solicitor to the, liquidat-prs, stated that he had < received from Mr. Cory, and had recently paid to the credit of the liquidation, £ 10,000, being money received by Mr. Cory from the general manager of the bank in the matter of the pur- chase by the Brak of Wales of the North Wales banking business of ±*ugh Jones and Co. Mr. Dovev, in reply to questions put to him at the meeting, said that Mr. Cory had not had any personal overdraft at the bank, and was only overdue to the bank in a comparatively small sum in the matter of a colliery company in which Mr. Cory had an interest. It is said that Mr. Cory has paid to the bank since he has been director an amount of over B15,000 in respect of accounts which he guaranteed on introducing them to the bank, and that during the past three years he has paid away in losses in unsuccessful investments made by him over £50,000. At the share- holders' meeting of the Bank of Wales it was determined to at once proceed against the directors of the bank for losses made by the shareholders through the alleged negligence of the directors. Mr. Cory realised that in these circumstances he could no longer properly continue to be a liquidator of the bank, and he resigned his office. The result of this has been to cause a. run upon him by his credi- tors, and he has been served with writs by several of them, some being for moneys for which he was a guarantor. Mr. Cory had been already largely assisted by his friends and had paid large sums of money, but, in the face of judgments now entered against Him. and a very large claim to be put forward by his reOent eo-liquidator for negligence in the matter of his directorship of the Bank of Wales, his friends felt they must decline to make further advanoes, and Mr. Cory accord- ingly suspended payment. Great sympathy will be felt for Mr. Cory throughout South Wales, as he has always been popular and respected in mercantile circles, and until a comparatively recent date has not only been wealthy, but most liberal and generous. Mr. Cory's books are in the hands of the accoun- tants, and it is not yet known what his liabili- ties and assets are, but we learn that his liabili- ties are a very much smaller sum than would be expected from the extensive business he has carried on for so many years, probably not more than £20,000. This is said to be owing to numerous claims having been sued for by creditors and paid by Mr. Cory and his friends. His petition has been filed at Swansea by Messrs. Vachell and Co., of Cardie.

LOSS OF THE ROYAL WELSH. THE CAPTAIN TELLS OF THE SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW. On Monday Captain Tate and the crew of the steamship Royal Welsh, arrived in Cardiff, by the Great Western Railway, from London. It will be remembered that the Royal Welsh foundered during a gale about ten days ago. The men took to the boats, and, after ex- perienon? greai i. rivaticns through cold and exposure, were brought. home by s steamer bound to London. The managing owners of tihe Royal Welsh were Messrs. Christie and Co., Cardiff. On Friday evening one of our reporters saw Captain A. Tate at his residence, 8. Albany^-roa& ^fcjuestioned as to the disaster, Captain Tate said they left Antwerp for Rio de Janeiro, and on-Sonday, hte 10th of March, when in36 N.,14 W., they encountered a regular hurricane. The sea was running very high. Towards noon on Mon- day, tJie 11th, the well wias sounded, and lift, of water was found in the nNun hoH. All the pumps were manned, At ntid- night on Monday the water had reached the 'tween decks, and the main decks were awash, with the sea. Seeing that the vessel was bound to founder, the men were ordered into the boats. They lay off about a couple of hundred yards from the vessel in two of the lifeiboa-ts, which were provisioned for ten days. About six o'clock in the morning the Royal Welsh, went dojvn head first. The boats were then steered to the east, making for the Canaay Islands. Some time afterwards they sighted the mail steamer Danube, which took them on board, thoroughly exhausted and ready to drop. It is impossible to say how the leak occurred, or in what position it was. The, vessel had before going to Antwerp been under survey at Swansea and had gone direct to the Continent to load. The shipwrecked men on board the Danube were treated with the utmost kindness, and were taken to Teneriffe and brought home on the steamship Damascus, whose officers again treated them as well as they possibly could.

GLADSTONE AT BEAULIEU. APPRECIATIVE SKETCH BY A NEW YORK JOURNALIST. Mr. Ballard Smith, writing from Beaulieu, The Riviera, to the "New York World," describes a visit he paid to the Hotel Cap Martin, where the Empeior of Austria, with his suite, was staying at the time, in the course of which he makes the following reference to Mr. Glad- stone :—"In this same hotel rotunda, within the hour, we are to see a. greater man than any hereditary king or emperor or potentate of to- day, of yesterday, of the omtury. Luncheon is just ever when Mr. and Mrs. Gladstine come down from their rooms and take seats among the other guests before the fire, awaiting their carriage. The venerable statesman looks much older and more worn than when I M'.w him in London as he started for the Kiviera, and when he gave the message to the Irish of America which I then tabled to 'The World." The arduous journey in the bitter cold weather which met him in France, and its extra-ffdiiary continuance here in the Riviera, have evidertly been most prejudicial to him. He walked vory feebly to his carriage, escorted on the one side by his faithful wife and on the other by the hardly less faithful Mr. George Armitstead— many times millionaire, who seems to have no object in life beyond this friendship and almost constant attendance—and now for the first time in his adult life looks all his age. I had come to the hctel hoping that Mr. Gladstone might wish to say something more to the American public on the prospects of Home 'Rule in Ire- land, but Mr. Armitstead pleads that the states- man is in too feeble condition to talk upon politics, and that his restoration to health de- mands aibsolute rest from ail political concerns for the present. The ex-Express Eugenie is ano her guest at the hotel, except that she occu- pies a cottage in the grounds: and she, too, takes her daily walk abroad with a single atten- dant, or more often alone. She also seems very feeble, and looks very old, supporting lhc-rseii with a stron,g crutch-stick. She has lo?t avery trace of her former beauty and graceful car- riage."

Killed a Man Every Year A BLOODTHIRSTY AFRICAN] BRIGAND, Some Facts About the Career and Horrible Tortures Practised by Areski, a Tiger of the Desert. Tho most ferocious i-nd successful brigand and assassin that the modern world has known has just been arrested in his career of robbery, snurder, and aliduction in the rocky defiles of the mountain country adjacent on the north to the graafc African desert. This country is called Kabvles, and its inhabitants are Berbers, an untamable and bloodthirsty race, descended from aboriginal Africans and claiming descent from Ham, the son of Noah. Areskin-el-Bach ir (the butcher) is a worthy descendant of such a stock. He is now 45 years of age, and, by his own confession, has, in obedience to a VCII, for he is a most pious Mussulman, siain a. man for every year of his life. How many more he has disposed of in the way of business he de- clines to state. He is about 5ft. lOin. in height, well made, and sinewy. Hie fingers are long and tapering-, and have a marked resemblance to the talons of a bird of prey. His feet are arched and small, his forehead high but re- treating, and thickly seamed with wrinkles. His eyes are piercing when aroused, but at rest are veiled! and somnolent, like those of most Orientals. In fact, Iiis countenance has many characteristics of the wild creatures of the rocks and woods. In ancient times the land of Egypt was subjeot to invasion and conquest by these fierce and relentless mountaineers, and mural paintings, monuments and pictured papyri have preserved ,he forbidding and fierce figures of these dark-skinned robbers. Their original names of "Mayzgi," or "Magdi," or "Mahzy," were handed down in their legends as demons and evil .Tins lrider the name of "Mazikeon," and were used by mothers to frighten naughty children. The robberies of this modern Barabas ire-caU the exploits of Robin Hood and Fra. Diavolo, save that they are unrelieved by the tinge of chivalry that lent a. fictitious but pleating glow of romance to the deeds of those dwellers "under the green- wood tree." Areski is a prosaio villain, but none the less.a master villain, to whom such rose-wlter ruffians as Claude Duval, Robin Hood, or Fra Diavolo must yield the palm. They never marked their birthdays by human sacrifices. At th& head of a band of 25 robbers .Areski has terrorised all Kabvles, and set at I defiance the forces sent against them by the French Colonial Government. His men are as murderous as himself. All but one are in the vigour of life; they are from twenty io forty years of age, and extremely secretive. Wrapped in their burnous, a flowing robe, 6ilent and im- movable they await their prey. They have slain, robbed, and cheated, but, strange to say, only their own compatriots, for their is no re- cord of any white man. having been molested by, them, and for this reason—they loci upon the in.- iehepetMe of strangers as uncalled for and unfair. Axeski has been many times caught, and^even sentenced, but until aow has contrived to escape by the aid of false witnesses. Unfortunately for him, ho committed the grave error of mur- dering a man "with a. pull." His last victim, an Arab sheikh, Abdul-Reschid by name, held fueudly relations with the French Governor- General of Algeria. While carrying the tri- bute of several native villages to Algeria, he was captured, robbed of the money, aiid put ti to death with horrible torture. He wae. beaten with rods of the thorny hibiscus cominon to the country, his hands and feat were cut off, his tongue torn out by the roots, and, to finish all, his eyes wore put out, and he was stabbed to death with a hundred wounds. The Colonial Goveinor at once sent aiD overwhelming force of native police and French military to cap- ture El Bachir and his band. The strange discovery was made among the effects in Areski's camp of a well-thumbed copy of the Kcran. A richly-carved and gilt rosary, such as is used by dervishes, was also taken from the bosom of his dress, so that it does not appear that this tiger of the desert did not appear that his life of murder and robbery in any wise eidangered his passage of the bridge "Ai Sirat," finer than a hair, over which the true believer in Islam must walk bare-footed to I'aiadise, or, falling from which, by reason of the weight of his sins against the faith, must drop headlong into the cmbraoe of hell. Not- withstanding his crimes, Arefki found favour and assistance with the very people among whom he murdered and robbed. This was owing to his undaunted bravery and the report that his body was impervious to ordinary wea- pons, and that his life could be only taken. by means of a silver bullet consecrated with mysterioflg ceremonies to "Azrael," the angel of death, end to "Eblis," the moi arch of hell. A few years ago Areski was a porter on the quays of Algiers. Having committed a rcbbeiy upon a fellow workman, he fed to his native village, where he assembled a band of villains, over whom he established complete mastery. One day three of his band gave into his liarfds a sum of 700 francs which they had stolen from a. traveller. The next day, learning that the traveller was a. Venerable marabout of Soummam, he hastened to restore the stolen money and slew the prin- cipal robier. From that time forth the name of Areski was respected by the most influential; marabouts, and the wise men of the country declared that he was under the special protec- tion of the Prophet. One day. at a family fete. Areski assembled at Bnu-Hini, his native village, all the natives of the country. More than a thousand guests were present at a festi- val where the Nautoh-Wallahs, or dancing girls, displayed their most fascinating graces and gathered more than two thousand francs from the spectators, which they dutifully handed over to the bandit chief It was ov-ing to the excesses committed on this occa- sion that he and his band were captured at the moment they were about to escape. Being tried and condemned to death, the robber- aEisassin and his ba.nd displayed the brutish resignation that distinguishes the Berber at his last gasp. The faith of Islam inculcates the belief that every man's "kismet, or destinv. is written upon his forehead by the finger of Allah, and that no efforts of his ca,n change it. Consequently, when his time comes the Mussul- man wraps his head in his mantle and awaits death imperturbably, murmuring Allah-il- Allah, Muhammad resoul Allah," which he believes to be the shibboleth or password which will admit him into the gates of Paradise. Thus during his trial, when the President of the Assizes put the usual questions, Areski replied, "The dead speak not." And from that moment till the fatal sentence was pronounced, like I ago, "he never more spoke word."
