Notes from London,
Notes from London, ALL THE GOSSIP OF TOWN AND CLUBS. Crisis in the Air-Excitement in the Lobby -Sir William's Little Way.—Health of the Two Chiefs. A crisis of anti-cyclonic proportions is raging in the Ministerial party. The first indication was the Chancellor's enigmatical statement last night that he may not have to propose a Budget next year. For reasons I will mention later, no importance need be attached to that statement directly. It created a furore this morning-it was not uttered till nearly midnight—and it has stimulated research to-day. But that a full- blooded crisis is in operation no one can doubt. The Premier came down to the House of Lords this afternoon for the first time since his illness. He is also said to have seen the party Whip. The Chancellor himself came into the feramons later, and privately apologised to Mr. Gibson-Bowles and Mr. Weir, who had ques- tions to ask him, which remained unanswered by reason of his absence. EXCITEMENT IN THE LOBBY. Lobbying, caballing, wire-pulling, or what- ever you may choose to call it, was going on actively all the afternoon. The Treasury Bench was deserted, but individual Ministers were the centres of attraction to different groups of politicians. Rumours of an imme- diate, or, at any rate, early, dissolution were hot and strong. I was distinctly warned that when the announcement of a dissolution doeo come no one will believe it. I' faith, we hardly needed the warning. The leading fact is that yesterday's Cabinet did not throw ligh j on the dissolution question after all. The Chajioellor was defeated in the Cabinet on his proposal to force the Local Veto Bill to a seccnd reading. Reactions of that sort stir up other things; hence the pretty condition of unrest in which the political world finds itself to-night. SIR WILLIAM'S LITTLE WAY. Rumorists who are thinking of the Chan- cellor's retirement in connection with his valedictory phrase last night are quite off the scent. Sir William Harcourt's observation that last night might be his last opportunity of speaking to the House in that capacity is only a variation of what he said last year. It is only the expression of his personal convic- tion that the Government cannot last another twelve months. He is in the habit of speak- ing in the pessimist mood. The many reports we have had of his impending resignation have always been founded on observations he has made. We know our Harcourt now, and when he speaks of resignation we feel that he is resigned to being Chancellor of the Exchequer as long as his party can hold on. Any possibility of dissolution which may exist originates, not with the Chancellor, but with the Premier. The long-threatened resigna- tion of Lord Rosebery is no further off than it has been. p.ny time since his illness, and, moreover, if he does resign, an appeal to the country will be forced by the necessities of the situation. The Premier's pluck in stick- ing to his post may be taken as evidence of his desire not to precipitate the disaster that Is anticipated when the party goes to the country. On such a subject one is reluctant to speak, but it is now an open secret that the Premier's long-continued insomnia has incapacitated him for severe mental labour- in fact, while he is encouraged to seek as much amusement as possible, he is forbidden to work his brain. That is why we hear of him being at Newmarket or at Olympian while he is unable to, attend the Academy dinner to-morrow or the soiree of Minis- terialist supporters at the National Liberal Club next week. HEALTH OF THE Two CHIEFS. My information of the Premier's health is most discouraging. He looks worn and haggard, and fully ten years older than he did before his illness. Our own chief. Lord Salisbury, is growing younger. He has come back from his Southern holidays a changed man. Plentiful walking exercise has worked off some of his superfluous flesh. He has had his hair cut, has had his beard trimmed and pointed, and generally has smartened him- self up. He is in the best of health and spirits, and is quite prepared for hard work. DEATH OF EARL PEMBROKE. The death of the Earl of Pembroke has removed a bright and lovable figure from the Peerage, and, if possible, a still more bright and lovable figure from the House of Commons. Lord Pembroke's death was not unexpected. He had been given up years aco, and his recovery after a despairing trip to the South Pacific was a medical surprise. Mr. Sidney Herbert, who succeeds him, is one of the best-tempered, best-mannered, and most popular men in the House of Commons. He also has political capacity worthy of the descendant of the great War Minister. As one of the Tory Whips he rendered efficient service to the party. His place among the assistants of Mr. Akers-Douglas will pro- bably not be filled up at present. He acted as chairman of the Kitchen Committee of the House. This ha.s of late become a deli- cate and responsible post, and Mr. Sidney Herbert is about the only member who could have conducted the affairs of the Committee without disturbance. THE VACANCY AT CROYDON. A point may arise in connection with Mr. Sidney Herbert's succession to the Earldom of Pembroke that will delay the necessity for an election at Croydon. When a married peer dies without children the heir, Whoever he may be, does not succeed to the title at once. A month, or some such fixed time, has to he waited to see whether there is any probability of a posthumous heir. The pre- sent case. I believe, is the first that has occurred in which the heir is a member of the House of Commons. I apprehend, there- fore, that there will not be a vacancy at Croydon, which is represented by Mr. Sidney Herbert, for several weeks. In the mean- time, it is a singular coincidence that Croydon and Walworth, the two London consti- tuencies in which elections will shortlv be held, are both places that have regaled jabez Balfour. It is cynically suggested now that Jabez is returning to England in time for his party to again put him up for Croydon, of which borough he was at one time mayor. THE 'PRESIDENT OF THE ACADEMY. Although no formal announcement has yet been made 6f the resignation of Sir F. Leigh ton .-is president of the Royal Academy. I have re- ceived further information confirming the announcement that it is extremely unlikely he will ever be able to return to this country. In that ev-t the finger of fitness points to Sir John Millais as the on1.v possible president. There is no other man of his standinar in the art world. I am not sure that Sir John would undertake the office unless he took it as a. titular distinction, relying on some of his fellow R.A.'s to assist him in carrying out the duties.

SUICIDE AT GLYNTAFF.
SUICIDE AT GLYNTAFF. DECEASED A BROTHER OF A CARDIFF MINISTER. On Friday afternoon Mr. E. B. Reere held an inquest at the Maltsters' Arms, Rhvdfelen, a little village just below Treforest. upon the body of Mr. George Walden Joshua, a commis- sion agent, employed by MesaM. Re«<i and Co.: jewellers, of Bristol, who was found hanging ov the neck to a tree in GlyntafF Wood last Tuesday afternoon. It appears that tne de- ceased. waa a. brother of the Rev. Caleb Joshua, Baptist minister, Landore, and the Rev. Seth Joshua. Cardiff, and Mr. Frank Joshua, Neath, the well-known evangelists. The deceased was identified by the Rev. Seth Joshua, Cardiff, as his brother, whose age was 46 years. He was a traveller to a Bristol firm, and the last time the rev. gentleman saw him was about two months-ago, when his eldest son, about seven- teen years old, wa« removed to Bridgend Asylum. The deceased was then in a very depressed state of mind. Mr. Samuel Jnno>. \nvs Farm, which is depressed state of mind. Mr. Samuel Jones. Ynvs Farm, which is within a few yards of the deceased's home. said that tne deceased had a brief chat with him about eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, and upon leaving him he proceeded in the direc- tion of the wood. where his body was found a few hours afterwards. The deceased often complained of severe pains in his he-ad. The Rev. D. Gwvnfryn Evans, pastor of Ebenezer Congregational Church. Rhvdfelen. said that shortly after three o'clock on Tues- day afternoon lie was returning homewards from Hendre Prosser Farm (the home of "Bryn- fab"). and when near the wood his attention was attracted by three letters lying alongside 1 he pathway. He picked them Up. and found that I they were addressed to Mrs. Joshua (th<= de- ceased's wife), Mr. Henry Basham, hairdresser, Ireforest and Police sergeant Stibbs, Treforest, and .witness opened the I letters and in the one addressed to the deceased's wife, he stated that his body would be found higher up in the wood. Witness at once proceeded into the wood. and afttr making a search found the deceased hanging by a rope from a tree. He was about 2ft. from the ground, and, having satisfied himself that life was extinct, witness hastened towards the village, ana communicated with Police-sergeant Stibbs. who returned to the spot. cut down the body, and had it conveved to the deceased's house, which is only a few hundred yards from the spot where the suicide was accomplished. Police-sergeant Stibbs said he cut the body down about four o'clock, and handed the letter addressed to him to the coroner, who read it to the jury. It .was as follows — t "April the 30th. "To all it may concern.—God help every- body. My poor boy Harold is in the asylum. I cannot stand my trouble any longer. Cannot get any sleep or rest. I am nearly blind, a.nd my head troubles me, and has for years. Have hysteria and leaking spine, and other ailments. God have mercy on my dear wife and children, and all other relatives. May he be a father to the children and a husband to the widow. My life has been one of misery of late. I have often thought of doing this deed. I cannot delay it now.—(Signed) G. W. Joshua, Malster's-road, Rhvdfelen." Dr. Leckie, Pontypridd. stated that the had known the deceased for twenty years. When he saw his son. who was deranged in mind, about two months ago, he also prescribed for the deceased, who was very much upset by his son's condition. The Coroner: Is it a bad case ?—Witness It is a kind of .religious mania,—Witness (con- tinuing) When he saw the deceased a week ago at Pontypridd he complained of pains in his head, end seemed to be greatly depressed. The Coroner said this was a verv sad case, indeed, and th?t the deceased had much to depress him. There wss no doubt that he hung himself, and r<U the jury had to decide was as to the state of his mind at the time. The jury at onr-e returned n. verdict that the deceased committed suicide whilst in a state of temporary insanity, and the jurors handed their fees to be given to the widow, who, with her six children, is now placed in not on1y sad. but also stra.itened, circiimsta.nees. in which the coroner and jury deeply sympathised with her. -?-

A HUMAN WASP NEST.
A HUMAN WASP NEST. REMARKABLE STORY OF AN INN- KEEPER AT HAVERFORDWEST. A correspondent writes: -An alleged ex- "D traordinary physiological fact is reported as having just taken place at Haverfordwest. ■ Tho-iaJlowing statement, incredible as it may appear. is quite authentic, having been taken from the subject of the sensational experience himself, who is an innkeeper and grocer, residing a few yards outside the town boun- dary. It appears that Mr. John Devereux. for that is the man's name, has been unwell for the last nine or ten months, during which time he has been attended by different medical men. He complained from time to time of a pain in the region of the stomach, as if caused by something alive moving within him. He frequently told his wife that he felt an unpleasant movement below his heart. On Tuesday last Mr. Devereux, after having partaken of a dinner of hashed beef, and afterwaius drank a glass of gin and water with a friend, suddenly became sick. After vomiting into a previously perfectly clean bucket he called his wife, an intelligent young woman, to him, saying that there was a wasp among the ejeoted contents of his stomach. That which the man had thrown up was thereupon strained, with the startling result that a number of wasps was found amongst portions of the meat eaten for dinner. No fewer than twenty wasps were counted. In the evening Mr. Devereux, who was somewhat frightened at the strange occurrence, took the wasps to a medical man in the town. who. when he heard the story, declared that such a thing was impossible, but made the remark that "we do hear some- times of strange things of the kind." Mrs. Devereux, however, is positively certain that the wasps came from the stomach, and adds that her husband has been considerably re- lieved since, and complains no longer of the pain he had been suffering. The medical man referred to, upon subjecting what was brought to him to microscopic examination, said that they really were wasps, although they had evidently never used their wings for flying, and had changed considerably in colour, having turned black in an hour or so after the man first observed them.
CYCLING.
CYCLING. A CATFORD CLUB BRANCH AT CARDIFF. A general meeting of the members of the Car- diff branch of the Catford Cycling Club was held at the Royal Hotel on Friday evening, Mr. A. Judah (captain) presiding. -The Chairman road a letter from Major-general Lee, accepting the invitation to become the honorary president of the club. The major-general, who is an enthu- siastic cyclist, wrote:—"If by accepting your courteous offer to become honorary president of the branch of the C.C.C. you propose formiug at Cardiff it will further the objects you have in view I sball be very pleased to accept. I am going abroad, starting this morning, but shall be home again the beginning of June."—On the motion of the Chair- man, seconded by Mr. Crouch, Major- general Lee was formally elected the hon. president of the branch.—The Chairman RISO read the correspondence which had taken place between himself and the executive of the parent club in London. The latter expressed themselves satisfied with the steps which bad been taken to estab- lish a branch of the Catford Club in Cardiff, and wished the new branch every success.—Mr. Lascelles Carr, Councillors Hughes, Morgan. and Andrews, and Mr. D. Radcliffe were added to the list of vice-presidents of the club.—It was announced that upwards of 45 gentle- r men had enrolled themselves members of the club.—Messrs. J. Young, A. J. Davies, and A.

A Travelling Newspaper
A Travelling Newspaper TWO PARIS JOURNALISTS* UNIQUE IDEA. Have Started a Tour of the World and are Earning their Way by their Wits. Tw.) Paris journalists are publishing a paper under extraordinary circumstances. It is called "En Route," and tll, initial dumber arpeared at Nice j;ht month. Where its next (lumber will be printed it is impossible to say. It may be issued m come Italian town, or in Cairo, or in Conseiuti- nople. Its first page bears in French the in- scription, "Redaction et Administration Dans Ie Mondc," which may be rendered into Eng- lish by "Editorial and Business Office: The World, which is worthy to rank with another famous addi-ess, "Victor Hugo, Ocean." The ec'itors of this little four-page paper, privited this time half in Italian and half in French, are Messrs. Le Roy and Papillaud, who, l1P' to three mouths ago, were reporters on the Paris press. Wishing to sen the world, and having a large supply of tateut Mid energy, L bu't no cash, they concluded that the latter was not only unnecessary, but would be morsi of a burden than a. help to them. The plan v.h.ch the two reporters outlined to their companions was that of mak- ing a tour of the world, starting from Paris, without a sou in their pockets and with a determination to engage 111110 menial or hi miliating labour. In addition to a thorough knowledge of German. English, and Italian, besides their native tongue, they possessed the accomplishments of being fair musicians and clever artists with the pencil. The principal baggage of each was his guitar. "Our route will be a zig-zag one," fyud Mr. Papillaud, in his speech of farewell, "and far from the itineraries of the tourists. Fancy will be cur companion, and you know therei can be no mere charming guide. The first number of their new paper"En Route" is the odyssey of their journeyings up tr the time of its. publication. They started from the "Figaro" office in the Rue Drouofc, at 5.30 is the afternoon of January 8, with empty poekefc. The first money that they earned, which took them out of Paris, was at the Ba-ta-Clan, a famous Parisian ca.fe-concert. where they made some sketches which they, sold for five francs. With what they made that evening they were able to reach Melun, a town near Paris, by the night train. From there they sent some "copy" to the papers, on which they received. such prompt returns that they were able to. proceed on their journey the following day. "Strictly professional work," they say in their narrative, "enabled us to gain our food each day and sufficient to carry us (third class, of course) forward to another town still further,1 removed from Paris." ï At Nice they found some money awaiting) them for the newspaper sketches they had sent to Paris, aud this, with what they had gained in other ways, ymounted to considerable vnorft than they would need for the next stage of. their journey. It was then that the idea of sstarthnr a newspaper came to them. and "En. Route" was the result. For its printing they, spent nearb- all their capital. Thus, in less than a month, they; had not only made their living, but had reached Nice, instead of starving to death on the way, as had been predicted. Furthermore, they were the editors and proprietors of a newspaper, co I copies of which they began selling at once. They also obtained come suuseribers at, the rate of 5f. per year. At Monaco, which is bnt a short distance from Nice, LeRuy won two prizes in a pigeon-shooting match, and during j the time they were in these two pleasure resorts they res'ed and lived well, deriving most of their income from their literary work and the sale of the t\1'8t issue of their paper. The princi- pal club of Nice gave 'them a banquet, after which the two travellers lectured upon their journey, and concluded •tlheir entertainment with songs and monologues written by them- selves, which were full of "local hits" and were as enthusiastically apprtciated as they were richly rewarded. They found themselves possessed of so much money, in fact, that they purc'liaised two bicycles, and on the evening of their de-parture gave a chamjjagne supper to their friends. They reached the Italian frontier at last, but it cost them nearly a hundred francs, to cross the boundary, for the Customs officers collected a heavy duty on their bicycles, to pay which again brought them to the verge of penury. Le Roy was an expert bicyclist, but his companion was a ber gir ner, nevertheless, they speedily wheeled their way via, Viutimille, Bordighera, Col- on-rod i, San Remo, Porto Maurizio, Alassio, Savcna, and Pegil to Genoa. There two Genoese papers, the "Secolo Decinnno" and the "Cafforo," ordereel articles from them. and they were presented by the editorial staffs of the two journals to the students of the city viuvirsitv, who hired them to give a lecture and entertainment at the Jardin d'ltalia. After spending two days at Genoa they proceeded to Milan. They 'have not yet decided whether to visit Constantinople or to take passage on. some ship going through the Red Sea to India and China More will, doubtless, be heard fiom them. Since starting they have had many applications from people wishing to join them, all of which they have firmly refused, saying that they wished no other companions.
