? 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'cyclonie 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 ycn.mons 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 th= centra of attraction to diiferent 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- cellors 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 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 skich 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 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 mast 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 aro, 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 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 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 be waited to see whether there is any probability of a posthumous heir. The pre- sent oase, 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 shortly 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. Leighton as president of the Royal Academy. I have re- ceived further information confirming the announcement that it is extremely unlikely he will ever he able to return to this country. In that er-nt the finerer of fitness points 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. DECEASED A BROTHER OF A CARDIFF MINISTER. On Friday afternoon Mr. E. B. Reec-e 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 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 brothpr of the Rev. Caleb Joshua, Baptist minister, Landore, and the Rev. Seth Joshua. Cardiff, and Mr. Frank Joshua, N*ath, 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 mouths ago, when his eldest son, 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 e' about eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, and upon leaving him lie prooeeded in olie 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. Gwvnfryn Evans, pastor of Ebenezer Congregational' Church. Rhvdfelen, said that shortly after three o'clock on Tues- day afternoon he 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 the pathway. He picked them up. and found that they were addressed to Mrs. Joshua (the de- ceased s wife), Mr. Henry Basham, hairdresser, Jreforest and Police sergeant Stibbs, Treforest, and .witness opened the xetters 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 after 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 Police-sergeant Stibbs. who returned to the spot, cut down the body, and had it conveyed to the deceased's house, which is only a few hundred yards from fhe spot where the suicide was accomplished. Police-sergeant Stibbs said he out the body down about four o'clock, and handed the lettfr 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 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, and 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 bo 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. RhvdTelen." Dr. Leckie. Pontypridd. stated that the had known the deceased for twenty years. When he saw his son. who was deranged in mind. 3 bout two months ago. he also prescribed for the dfCea.sM. who was very much upset by his son's condition. The Cotoner: Ts 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, pnd seemed to be greatly depressed. The. Coroner said this was a very sad case, indeed. a.nd that the deceased had much to depress him. There wjs no doubt that lie hung himself. and nil the jury had to decide was as to the state of his mind at the time. The jury at once returned 8. verdict that the deceased committed suicide whilst in a state of temporary insanity, a.nd the jurors handed their fees to lie given to the widow, who, with lifT six children, is now placed in not 011V sad. but also straitened, circumstances, in which the coroner and jury deeply sympathised with her. --?-?-

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. PROGRESS OF THE ALTERA- TIONS AT CARDIFF STATION. The alterations in connection with the Great Western Railway Station are pro- grossing ranidly. and it is expected that in a few months' time they will be in a very advanced state. The creater part of the work between the Taff Vale Railway on the eastern side and the present station has been practically completed, and the bridge over Penarth-road will soon he finished. The erection of the new waitinor-rooms, &c., is being rapidly pushed forward, and as soon as these are completed other parte of the building will be taken down and the new buildings commenced. The extension of the present subway under the intended relief line has also be"'n started, and the work will be rapidly proceeded with. ,?_J'

A HUMAN WASP NEST. REMARKABLE STORY OF AN INN- KEEPER AT HAVERFORDWEST. A correspondent writes:—An alleged ex- traordinary physiological fact is reported u having just taken place at Haverfordwest. The frJWing statement, incredible a* it may appear, is quite autlientic, 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 in the region of the stomach, as if caused by something alive moving witliin 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 afterwards drank a glass of gin and water with a friend, suddenly became sick. After vomiting into a previously perfectly clean bucket lie called his wife, ao intelligent young woman, to him, saying that there was a wasp among the ejented contents of his stomach. That which the man had thrown up in-aii 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 waeps 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 lie heard the story, declared that such a tiling 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. 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 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 tho 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 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- men had enrolled themselves members of the club.—Messrs. J. Young, A. J. Davies, and A Angle were appointed a committee of manage- ment.

ABERGAYENNY ASYLUM. THE PROPOSED TERMS OF SETTLEMENT. 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- Jmted 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- faction with tue terms of the award felt in the county of Radnor.

A Travelling Newspaper TWO PARIS JOURNALISTS' UNIQUE IDEA. Havii Started a Tour of the Worlci and are Earning their Way by their Wits. Two Paris journalists are publishing a paper under extraordinary circumstances. It is catIffi "Eai Route. and the initial number appeared at Nice Jast month. Whue :td neirt. cumber will be printed it is impossible to say. It may be issued in :ome Italian town, or in Cairo, or in Con<ciuti- nople. Its first page bears in French the in- scription, "Redaction et Administration Dana le Mondc," which may be rendered into Eng- lish by "Editorial and Business Office: The World," which is worthy to rank with another famous address, "Victor Hugo, Ocean." The editors of this little four-page paper, printed this tune half in Italian and half in French, are Messrs. Le Roy and Papillaud, who, up to three months ago, were reporters 011 the Paris press. "Wishing to sec the world, and having a large supply of talent Mid 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 winch 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 in no menial or In miliating labour. In addition to a thorough knowledge of German. Eu?lis«h, and Italian, besides their native tongue, they possessed the accomplishments of being fair musicians and clever artists with the pencil. The principal bacfpige of ateh was his guitar. "Our route will be a zig-zag one." sfiid Mr. Papillaud, in his speech of farewell, "and far from the itineraries of the tourists. Fancy will be cur companion, and you know there can bo no more charming guide." The first number of their new paper"En Route" is the odyssey of their journevings up tr ths time of its publication. They started from tha "Fitraro" office in the Rue Drouot, at 5.30 in the afternoon of January 8, with empty pockets.
