"'IT "W 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 aiid again adopt the slid- icg-ecale arrangement, says: —"Our impression is that neither party wants to fight; but the fear is, nevertbaloss, that matters may drift. If the result of the ballot should be in favour of the renewal of the scale the position will be simplified, because there is little doubt that when a scale has been settled the employers will waive the notice 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 mouth, the hauliers are determined not to do so. There is no reason ior* thi3 statement. It is true the hauliers claims to bave, grievances of their own. euiaftvoaisinsr* to move the Home Secretary to inquire into the alleged illtreatment of horses underground, at the instance (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 oolliers, as from the objectionable rumours would appaar to %on been the cMt." FURTHER RESULTS OF THE BALLOT. THE COLLIERS SUPPORT THE SLIDING-SCALE. The votes recorded at the Plymouth Collieries, Merthyr, show a large majority Ln favour of the continuation of the sliding-scale. The com- mittee charged with the duty of counting the ballot papers have declined, however, to reveal the exact papers. CV FARTHFA COLLIERIES, MERTHYR.

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

Coun- cillor White was struck on the shoulder and face by the splashboard of the doctor's carriage. The right chefk under the eye was badly cut, and t3ie wound bled profusely, but, fortunately, the injury is not of a serious character. He was conveyed to a chemist's shop, where t-he wound wa.s attended to. and he was able to leave by the express as he intended.

SERIOUS LOCAL FAILURE. ICR. THOMAS CORY SUSPENDS PAYMENT. It is with regret that we ltarn 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 I other companies. For many years he resided at Skatty Court, Swansea, and carried on an extensive business at Swansea as a colliery proprietor and coal merchant. For the past few years he has lived at Neville Court, Tun- bridge Wells, spending several days weekly at Swansea. to attend to his business there. Mr. Cory wa& chairman of the directors of the Bank of Wales (Limited), and on that bank .going into liquidation he was apppiutsd joint liqui- dator with Mi". C. E. Dovey, public accountant, of Cardiff. At the recent general meeting of the shareholders at Cardiff Mr. Vachell, solicitor to the liquidators, 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 Bank of Wales )f the Noitth Wales banking business of Pugh Jones and Co. Mr. Dovey, 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 B 15,000 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 recent co-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 Cardiff.

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- pericuckjr gren iii-vatiens through cold and exposure, were brought home by s steamer bonad to London. The managing owners of the Royal Welsh were Messrs. Christie and Co., Cardiff. On Friday evening one of our reporters saw Captain Thomas A. Tate at his residence, 8. Albany-road. Questioned as to the disaster, Captain Tate said they left Antwerp for Rio de Janeiro, and on Sunday, hte 10th of March, when in36 N., 14 W., they encountered a regular hurricane. The sea was running very high. Towardis noon on Mon- day, the llt-h, the well was sounded, and lift, of water was found in tht s)«Ja hpJoL All Sit gpcspg -tasaatnd; .but the water steadily increased. At mid- night on Monday the waiter 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 lifeboats, which were provisioned for ten days. About six o'clock in the morning the Royal Welsh went down head first. The boats were then steered to the east, making for the Canary 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, wliose 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 Yoik 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 ranturv. Luncheon is just over when Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone come down from their rooms and take seats among the other .guests before the fire, awaits s; their carriage. The venerable statesman looks much older and more worn than when I saw him in London as he started for the Riviera, and when he gave the message to th-i Irish of America which I then cabled to 'The World.' The arduous journey in the bitter cold weather which met him in France, and its extra irdiiarv continuance here in the Riviera, have, evidertly been most prejudicial to him. He walked very ft-ebly to his carriage, escorted on the one side by his faithful wife and on the other by the hardly less faithful Mr. George Armitst^ad— l'iany 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- lard, 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 absolute rest from all political concerns for the present. The ex-Exprees Eugenie is a-no' her guesi at the hotel, except that she occu- pies a r-ottage 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 'herself with a, strong crutch-stidk. She has lo;õ>Í svery trace of her former beauty and graceful car- riage."

Killed a Man Every Year A BLOODTHIRSTY AFRICAN; BRIGAND. 1 Some Facts About the Career audi Horrible Tortures Practised by Areski, a Tiger of the Desert. 3 Th" most ferocious end successful brigand and i assassin that the modern world has known has just been arrested in his career of robbery, murder, and' aMuction in the rocky defiles of the mountain country adjacent on the north to the gr3&fc African desert. This country is « called Kabyles, and its inhabitants are Berbers, an untamable and bloodthirsty, race, dt scend-edi from aboriginal Africans and claiming descent! from Ham, the son of Noah. Areskin-el-Bachir 1 (the butcher) is a. worthy descendant of such a stock. He is npw 45 years of age, and, hy his own confession, has, in obedience to a vcw, 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 -in- clines to state. He is about 5ft. lOin. in height, well made, and sinewy. His 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- s 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, his 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 ihe 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 x, rider the name of "Mazikeon," and were used by mothers to frighten naughty children. The robberies of this modem Barabas ire-oaH the exploits of Robin Hood and Fra Diavolo, save that they are unrelieved by the tinge of chivalry that lent a fictitious but pleasing 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-water ruffians as Claude Duval, Robin Hood, or Fra. Diavolo must yield the palm. They never marked their birthdays by human sacrifices. At the head of a band of 25 robbers j Areski has terrorised all Kabyles, and set at 4 defiance the forces sent against them by the French Colonial Government. His men are as murderous as himself. All but one are in uio vigour of life; they are from twenty to forty years of age, and extremely secretive. Wrapped in their burnous, a flowing robe, silent and im- movable they await their prey. They have slain,, robbed, anc) cheated, but, strange to,say, only their own compatriots, for their is no re- cord of any white nima having- been, molested bv, them, and for this reason—they look u-, the m- terferenos of strangers as uncalled for and unfair. AMski has been many times caught, and even sentenced, but until now has contrived to escape by the aid of false witnesses. Unfortunately for him, he committed the grave error of mur- dering a man "with a pull." His last victim, au Arab sheikh, Abdul-Resehid by name, held fueudlv 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, and put to death with horrible torture. He was beaten with rods of, the thorny hibiscue common to tha country, his hands and feet were cut off, his tongue torn out by the roots, and, to finish all, his eyes were put out, and he was stabbed to death with a hundred wounds. The Colonial Governor at once eent an overwhelming force oi native police and French military to cap- ture El Bachir and his band. The strange discovery was made among the effects in Arei-ki a camp of a well-thumbed copy of the Koran. A richly-carved and gilt rosary, such as is used by dervishes, was also taken from the bosom of his drt-s6, so that it does not appear that this tiger of the desert did not appear that his life of murder and robbery in any" iso ei daggered his passage of the bridge "Al Sirat," finer than a hair, over which the true believer in Islam must walk bare-footed to Paradise, or, falling from which, by reason of the weight of his sins against the faith, must drop headlong into the embrace of hell. Not- withstanding his crimes, Areski found favour awl 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 tilver bullet consecrated with nivsterio4 ceremonies to "Azrael," the angel of death, and to Eblis," the moi arch of hell. A few years ago Areski was a porter on the quays of Algiers. Having oonumitted Q re bbery upon a fellow workman, he fled 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 hands 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 robber. 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 Bou-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 trirls, displayed thoir most fascinating graces and gathered more than two thousand francs from the spectators, which they dutifully handed over to the bandit chief. It was oving to the excesses committed on this occa- sion that lie and his band were captured at the moment they were about to escape. Being tried and condemned to death, the robber- assassin and hi- band displayed the brutish resignation that distinguishes the Berber at his last gasp. The faith of Islam inculcates the helief that every man's "kismet, or destiny, is written upon his forehead by the finger of Allah, and that no efforts of his can change it. Consequently, when his time comes the Mussul- man wraps his head in his mantle and awaits death imperturbably, murmuring "Allah-il- Allaii, Mulianvmad resoul Allah," which he bflieves to be the shibboleth or password which will admit him into the gates of Paradise. Thus durinsr 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, s like Iago, "he never more spoke word."

EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYED A DEPUTATION TO MB. ASQUITH AND MR. BUXTON. Mr. Asquith and Mr. Sydney Buxton received a deputation from the Women's Industrial Corrcil at the House of Commons on Friday evening. Replying to tirir suggestions as to pending legislation on the relations of em- ployers and employed. Mr. Asquith said the Government was already in favour of raising the half-timers to twelve years, and if it could be incorporated without imperilling the Bill no one would be mppier than he. In regard to widening the Truck BilL it was almost abso- lutely impossible to prohibit, without any qualifications, deductions in a great many trades, but the Bill proposed to penalise deduc- tions unless agreed to by written contract 1.Dd unless reasonable particulars were delivered to the worker. Mr. Buxton said that to extend the Factories Bill, so as to include warehouses where packing was carried on and domestic workshops, he was afraid, could not be managed. He would consider it. He believed that com- pulsory deductions for oontributions to sick benefit societies were prohibited by previous legislation
