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 (scmmons 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 centrer 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 does come no one will believe it. I' faith, we hardly needed the warning. The leading fact is that yesterday's Cabinet did not throw light on the dissolution question after all. The Chancellor 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 wfrh 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 lie 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 any 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 Hm being at Newmarket or at Olympia" 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 afo, 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 assistant? 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 has 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 C-ominittee 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 be 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 of the resignation of Sir F. Leightoo as 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 event the finder of fitness noints to Sir John Millais as the only possible president. There is no other man of his standing 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. Ofl Friday afternoon Mr. E. B. Reece held an inquest a.t the Maltsters' Arms. Rhydfelen, a little village just below Treforest. upon the body of Mr. George Walden Joshua, a commis- sion agent, employed by Messrs. Reed and Co.. jewellers, of Bristol, who was found hanging by the neck to a tree in Glyntaff Wood last Tuesday afternoon. It appears that the de- ceased was 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 apo. when his eldest sou, about seven- teen years old, was removed to Bridgend Asylum. The deceased was then in a very depressed state of mind. Mr. Samuel Jones, Ynys Farm, which is within a few yards of the deceased's home, said that the 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 head. The Rev. D. Gwynfrvn Evans, pastor of Ebenezer Congregational Church. RhvdMen, said that shortly after three o'clock on Tues- day afternoon he was returninsr homewards from Hendre Prosser Farm (the home of "Brvn- fab"). and when near the wood his attention wao attracted by three letters lying alongside -lie pathway. He picked them up. and found that they were addressed to Mrs. Joshua (the de- ceased's wife), Mr. Henry Basham, hairdresser, ^reforest and Police sergeant Stibbs, 1 reforest, and .witness opened the. letters and in the one addressed to the deceased's wife, he stated thai his body would be found higher up in the wood. ltness at once proceeded into the wood. and aftfr 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, and communicated with Polioe-sergeant Stibbs. who returned to the spot. cut down the body, and had rt oonveved to the deceased's house, which is only a few hundred yards from the spot where the suicide TO 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: "April the 30th. "To all it may concern.—God hflp every- body. Mv poor boy Harold is in the asylum. I cannot stand my trouble any longer. Cannot get any sleep or rest. I am nearly blind. and my head troubles me, and ha-s 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, RhydMen." Dr. Leckie, Pontypridd. stated that the had known the deceased for twenty years. When he saw his son. who WM 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 or religious mania,—Witness (con- tinuing When he saw the deceased a. week ago at Pontypridd he complained of pains in his head, ?nd seemed to be greatly depressed. The Coroner said this was a very sad case, indeed, and that the dewased had much to depress him. There was no doubt that he hung himself. and nil the jurv had to decide was as to the state of his mind at the tin'e. The jury at once returned a. vprcVct that the deceased committed sui.ide whilst in a state of temporary insanitv, and the jurors handed their fees to be given to the widow, who. with her six children, is now placed in not onV sad. but aJro straitened, circumstances, in whi 1 h the ooroner 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- traordinary physiological fact is reported as having just taken place at Haverfordwest. The following 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 outride 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 ill 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. I On Tuesday last Mr. Devereux* after having I partaken of a dinner of hashed beef, and afterwards 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 ejected contents of his stomach. That which the man had thrown up was thereupon strained, with the startling result that a number of wasps wa.s 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 I 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 branoh of the Catford Cycling Club was held at the Royal Hotel on Friday evening, Mr. A. Judah (captain) presiding.—The Chairman read 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 forming at Cardiff it will further the objects you have in view I shall 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 also 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 had been taken to estab- lish a branch of the Catford Club in Cardiff, and wished the new branch every success.—Mr.' Lascelles Carr, Councillors Hugbes, 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- J men had enrolled themselves members of the club.—Messrs. J. Young, A. J. Davies, and A.

Mr. Edwards (L., Radnorshire) has given notice in the House of Commons that on Mon- day he will ask the Home Secretary whether under the award made on the proposal of the county of Monmouth to terminate the existing agreement between the counties of Monmouth. Radnor, and Brecon as to the Abergavenny Joint Lunatic Asylum, the county of Radnor has been allotted by way of compensa- tion £ 250 less than the amount actually contri- buted by it to the cost of the asylum whether he is aware that the value of the property has increased very considerably since the date of the agreement; and whether, in view of his letter of the 7th of May, 1894, on the subject, he will withhold his consent to the proposed dissolution of the agreement, having regard to the dissatis. factien with the terms of the award felt in the county of Radnor.

A Travelling Newspaper
A Travelling Newspaper TWO PARIS JOURNALISTS* UNIQUE IDEA. Have Started a Tour of the Worl4 and are Earning their Way by their Wits. TWD Paris journalists "a-re publishing a paper under extraordinary circunvhtances. It is called "En Route," and the initial number appeared at Nice iat month. Where itj next anmber will be printed it is impossible to say. It may be issued m come Italian town, or in Cairo, or in Constanti- nople. Its first page hears in French the in- scription, "Redaction et Administration Dans le Monde," which may be rendered into Eng- lish by "Editorial and Business Office: The World," which is wor'thy to rank with another famous address, "Vietor Hugo, Ocean." The editors of this little four-page paper, printed this time half in Italian and half in French, are Messrs. Le Roy and Papillaud, who, tip, to three months ago, were reporters on the Paris press. Wishing to set* the world, and having a large supply of talsnt ;.nd energy, bu't no cash, they concluded that the latter was not only unnecessary, but would be more, 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 anc with a determination to engage in no menial -3r htmiliatiug 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 pen HI. The principal baggage of eich was his guitar. "Our route will be a zig-zag one." :-)1Íd Mr. Papillaud, in his speech of farewell, "and far from the itineraries of the tourists. Fancy will be cur companion, and you know there ('0 be 110 more charming guide. The first number of their new paper"En Route" is the odyssey of their jounievinprs up tc the time of its publication. They started from the "Fhraro" ofrice. in the Rue lJrouot, at 5.30 ia ill" afternoon of January 3. with empty pockefe The first, money that they earned, which took them out of Paris, was at the Ba-ta-Clan. a famous Parisian cafe-concert, where they made some sketches which they, sold for five francs. With what they made that evening they were able to reach Melon, 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 removed from Paris." At Nice they found some money awaiting them for the newspaper sketches they had sent to Paris, and thi-i, with what they had gained in other way?, amounted to considerably more than they would need for the next stage ofj their journey. It. vis then that the idea. of starting 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 onlv made their living, but had reached } N ice, instead of starving *0 death on the way,, as had been predicted. Furthermore, they were the editors and proprietors of a newspaper, copies of which they began selling at once. They also obtained some suu.-cribers at the rate of 5f. per year. At Monaco, which is but a. short distance from Nice, LeRoy won two prizes in a pigeon-shooting match, and during" the time they were in these, two pleasure, resorts they rested and lived well, deriving most of their income from their literary work and the sale of the first issue of their paper. The princi- pal club of Niee gave them a banquet, after which the two travellers lectured upon their journey, and concluded 'heir entertainment with songs and monologues written by them- selves. which were full of "local hits" and were as enthusiastically appreciated as they were richly rewarded. They found themselves possessed of so much money, in fact, that they purchased two bicycles, and on the evening of their departure gave a champagne 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 au. expert bicyclist, but his companion was a be.- girner, nevertheless, they speedily wheeled their, way via, Vintimille, Bordighera, Col- cierodi, San Remo, Porto M*aurizio, Alassio, Savcna, and Pegil to Genoa. There two Genoese papers, the ''Secolo Decinnno" and the "Cafforo," ordered articles from them, and they were presented by the editorial staffs of the two journals to the students of the city iT.mrsity, 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,
