FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1901. SIR JOHN JONES JENKINS AND ENGLAND'S COMMERCIAL DUTY. Sir John Jones Jenkins occupies a deser- vedly prominent place in the commercial world. He is a man whose advice is almost invariably worth following. Indeed, South Wales would be better off to-day had it taken more heed of some of Sir John's warnings. The ex-member for the Carmarthen Boroughs has been inttrviewed in London by a repre- sentative of one of the leading American journals. So valued are Sir John's views on the other side of the Channel that they were cabled from London, and appeared in the Chicago Record on Feb. 21st. Sir John Jones Jenkins is President of the British Iron Trade Association, and in his opinion "Europe would do better to devote her energies to modernizing her methods than attempt to combat the United States with protective tariff." Competition should be met with weapons which make that com- petition dangerous. "I believe in equipping for offensive operations. Not by handicap- ing our rivals can we sain the eminences to which their enterprise has brought them. Such stimulants as protective tariffs are purely artificial. They ill become a people robust in aggressive power." What is it that Sir John Jones Jenkins suggests ? "England and all Europe," he says, "Deed to leirri the A. B. C.'s of modern industrial activity in the costly school of experience over which the United States at present presides. We need to enlighten ourselves in the rudimen- tary principles of production." What should we study ? We need to study," adds Sir John, the value of such things as labour- saving machinery, cheap and rapid trans- portation, conference agreements with trade unions, and restless vigour in advertising and selling our goods. After we have in- corporated a few of these ideas in our com- mercial code, it will be time enough to talk of protection if, so armed, we still find our neighbours' pace too fast. English manu- facturers naturally view with some alarm the new American steel combine, and in the opinion of Sir John Jones Jenkins "Ir. Carnegie's hope of seeing the markets of the world in America's control will soon be realised unless the world outside the United States wakes up." Closed factories, reduced hours, and the forced American competition have, says Sir John, filled the English workingman with a growing desire for some sort of protective tariff. These men are suffering from the sins of their masters." ■ ♦-

BRYNMILL SEWERAGE QUESTION. The election yesterday of Mr. Moy Evaas to fill th>? vacancy, caused on the Swansea COP poration by the regretted retirement, of Col. W. Pike, is tantamount to declaring that a plebiscite of the St. Helen's Ward favours what is known as the "alternative scheme" of drainage for the large and growing district of Brymnill. There was, on this matter, no mistaking the views of the two candidates who contested the seat. Mr. John Williams. the defeated candidate, announced in his elec- tion address: 'I am in favour of the Piyn- n:ill outlet scheme of drainage, believing it to be essential to the progress and develop- ment of the West End of Swansea." Mr. Moy Evans, on the other hand, was "strongly opposed" to this scheme and to the cors-tru&- tion of a septic tank, "believing that the ad- cj tion of such a scheme would prejudicially affect the beauty and usefulness of our sands and inflict serious damage upon owners and tenants of properties in the neighbourhood." The alternative scheme, which provider for an outlet in the river was, in Mr. Moy Evans's opinion, "in every way preferable." With such a plain issue before them, there is no n-:staking the voice of the electorate upon what has become a real burning question in the ward. It now remains to be seen in what light the town, a, a whole, as represen- tee: by the Council, will regard the subject. If all that is claimed for the septic tank tieatment of sewage be true, there can be little doubt but that many of the serious ob- jections to the Brynmill scheme will have been met if this proposal be the one ulti- mately decided upon. In an interesting let- ter the Hon. Odo Vivian has sent to the Press on the whole subject, he observes that his father was strongly opposed to the Outlet scheme, and goes on: "It is from no senti- mental reasons that we are in opposition to the scheme, but from positive conviction that it will prove a nuisance, backed up not only by the evidence of other towns where such a scheme has been tried and failed, but also by the results of extensive trials, which were made with floats in Swansea, and which showed that the sewage would not in all cases be carried away but be returned to the shore. We wish, therefore, to awake the inhabitants of houses near the foreshore to the danger to health which they are running if they al- low such a scheme to be carried out." He I then cites, by way of example, the case of Torquay, where the sewage was turned into the sea. below water-mark, in front of the town, only to become such a nuisance that ) the local authorities spent another £ 70,000 in carrying the sewage two miles down the ccast. The river, lie argues, is the "proper and natural place," and if, as we learn, though Councillor Vivian does not state it, the septic tank was included in the Torquay scheme, there is much force in what he says, The inhabitants of the West End. together with the Mumbles people, anyhow regard the BrynmiII scheme as calculated to ruin the foreshore as a resort of seasiders. But the Hon. Odo Vivian raises another important point when he comes to deal with the finan- cial aspect of the question. He says: "It will be noticed in this report" (the Borough En- gineer s report) "that he has deducted from the cost of the Brynmill outlet £ 13,500 for putting only a single line of pipes which, he says, will be sufficient to meet present re- qr.irements. This is only done to make the cost of the Brynmill scheme appear less; but it would be unwise to make a drain only suiti- (ient for present requirements when it would have to be enlarged later on. Again, a tui- ther £5,000 has been added for connecting the Brynmill sewer with Coedsaeson Estate. The tctal sum thus required for the Brvnmill out- let with the septic tank is £ 58.600." To this, £ 12,100 is to be added as the cost of reliev- ing the congested sewers 011 the Saiidfields, making a total of at least £ 70,700. The al- ] tcrnative scheme costs, according to the Bor- ough Engineer's estimate, £ 80,000, but the Hon. Odo Vivian claims that as this scheme is a more thorough scheme, relieving the lower and congested parts of the town from all flood water and draining an area of ground mo:e than double that of the Brynmill scheme, it i* the cheaper one. The question of gra- c'ients, we note, has not been taken into ac- count, but from the fact that the Borough Engineer has given an estimate, it must be presumed that the alternative scheme is prac- ticable. Doubtless, the matter will soon re- ceive the attention of the' Council when the whole of the points should be discussed in detail. In the meantime, the West End is sadly in need of some drainage scheme or other, if the outbreak of a serious epidemic is to be warded off.

A DOCTOR's MIST A KE. "In the midst of life we are in death." How painfully this scriptural truth ha., been borne in upon the pefcple of Swansea during the past week by the very tragic end of the son of our respected townsman, Mr. J. H. Posser. But a few hours? before, j oung Mr. Holbein Rosser, blessed with everything worth having in this worId-healtn. wealth, youth. a host of warm-hearted friends, and a happy, comfortable home—was, save a slight cat- arrhal headache, in the full enjoyment of these splendid gifts, and then, like the young bud in the Springtime, that is nipped by the unexpected blast, he was cut down, nay, hurled into Eternity-and all through a sim- ple mistake on the part of his medical ad- viser. The facts are recorded elsewhere. All who peruse them will, we feel sure, divide their sympathies between the bereaved fam- ily at the loss of an only son, under soich dis- tressing circumstances, and Dr. Daniel Evans, who, without a thought of what he was doing, gave the young man, not the draught that was to produce Nature's sleep, but the strong dose of carbolic acid which, unfortunately, closed the eyelids in death. The incident seems too awful to con- template—a fine, handsome young man, en- dowed with a vigorous constitution, battling in the most terrible) agony with the poison that he had innocontly gulped down in the hope that it would relieve the effects of a slight cold which he had contracted; It is said that when about to leave on his birvcie for bomi the same evening, young lu^sc-r expressed to one of his father's employes n hope that his "light would not go our that night." Little did he, or any of us, dream that the light, not of his bicycle, hut of his lira was to go out so soon. When the worst had happened, though they could scarcely realise the truth of it. the family were stricken down with heartfelt grief. It is poor consolation, but. yet it is some solace tc. them to know that terrible as the death n Ur-t have been the agony was not prolonged. while they have the further satisfaction of knowing that all Swansea mourns with them i i the present hour of their great trial. Dr. Evans's grief at the error he had committed is, we fully believe, as deep and sincere as any. Were he not a young medical practi- tioner of the highest reputation, his act would surely come in for much public eon- _-4- demnation. As it is, he is being commiser- ated with on all hands. In adding our sym- pathy with the bereaved family, we also de- sire to extend it to Dr. Evans, but, in doing so, n.ight we not urge, in a general sense, the 1 ecessity for a greater precaution in the mat- ter of the use of poisonous drugs. In some ciicles. the tiagedy of a week ago makes the ccnviction more pronounce! that doctors ought not to be permitted to dispense their own medicines. In ether wcrds, they should employ a dispenser, or do away with their surgeries and have their prescriptions made up by che-nists. We say nothing on that point, but will simp y content ourselves with advocating the universal use of specially-made phials for poisons of all kinds. Mr. George E. Cook informs us that on the Continent only triagular-cut bottles are used for poi- This is a capital idea, and one which, had it be«3E. adopted in the present case, must even in the absence of any label, or any dis- tinctive colour of the liquid in the bott e, have been the means of obviating the mis- take which has sent a promising young life to an untimely grave

NOTES & NOTIONS. Mr. Yoxall and other promoters of the Miners' Eight Hours Bill have advisedly not put down the next stage of that measure till Wednesday, 12th of June, which is the first Wednesday after Derby Day and the Whitsuntide holidays, as well as the date when a private Bill then most advanced secures first place by order of the House. The recent N.S.P.C.C. dance at Swansea was not only a social and artistic, but a finan- cial success, and those who organised it evi- clenced much zeal, tact, and grace, and they deserve every praise. After paying all the ex penses, Miss Averil B. Corfield, hon. sec. and treasurer, has sent a cheque to the par- out society in London for J653. The dance committed was composed of Miss Eva Wat- kins. Mis., Enid Sydney-Davies, Mr. Godfrey Hayes, Mr. Stanley Isaac, Mr. Godfrey Corfield, and Mr. A. E. Na>h. Miss Irene Isaac was not home this year to help. Miss Corfield and the committee wish to thank all "ho helped to make the dance a, success. Unexpected opposition has come to the Swansea Harbour Bill, Mr. McArthur, M.P., for one of the Liverpool divisions, having given notice of his intention of objecting to the Second Reading of the Bill in Parliament. The clause to which exception is said to be taken by Liverpool shipowners is one relat- ing to the rates on steamships, which make the charge on steamships not less than 50 per cèn t. of the gross tonnage, and of trigs not less than 18 per cent. The desire is to retain the old state of affairs, and the result is that for the moment Mr. Law, the Swansea harbour superintendent, has beeta able to get the sec- onde reading postponed for a week. In the meantime a conference is to be convened in order to discuss- the clause in question. The Finance sub-Committee of the Glam- organ Standing Joint Committee have re- commended that in the case of county inspec- tors the minimum salary on appointment be £1l0, rising by annual increments of £3 to a maximum of JE140. The rank pay for ser- geants should, it was recommended, remain as at present, but an c'xtra merit class should be instituted, carrying an increase of 2d. per day, or Is. 2d. per week. These rates com- pare favourably with those of the principal English county forces, and have been ad- opted. His Honour Judge Gwilym Williams has been speaking his mind on what might be looked upon as a sort of bribe. The Chief Constable of Glamorgan submitted to the Standing Joint Committee a. return of fifteen police-officers who are in possession of gra- tu 1 tour: railway passes. It was mentioned that in a few instances the officers made use of their pa-ses and charged railway fares to the county also. Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed at this course, and his Honour •Fudge Gwilym Williams was very averse to officers holding such passes. "Just imagine what it would be in the case of anyone hold- ing a judicial position if a bribe of this kind were held. I don't use the word 'bribe* of- nii-ively." It was decided that the officers be '.a',kH1 to return the passes and to supply a re- turn of instances during the past year in which the free pass had been used and ordin- ary railway fare charged. ThV pstst quarter's statistics of crime in the county of Glamorgan ehow that non-indict- able offences had increased over the figures of the corresponding quarters of Ia,t year. Th convictions of males totalled 4,881. an in- c rei.se of 465 cases; of females, 363, a decrease of E3. Convictions for indictable offences weie 273 for males and 99 for females—de- creases of 67 and four respectively. Quasi- criminal proceedings showed an increase of 23 for the period. In offences against the Ji- censing laws the increases were six for week days and eleven for Sundays, and with re- spect to persons illegally being on licensed premises the increases for week days totalled 99 and for Sundays 71. Not le'-s than 488 per- sons were proceeded against at the instiga- tion of the county school boards. Draft copies of the order of the Light Rail- way Commissioners authorising the proposed Co poration tramways at Swansea have just been issued. It is of a voluminous nature. and includes the various extensions which have already been described in these columns. In view of the abandonment of the proposed line through Christina-street; and straight into Oxford-street, very little, if anv. pro- perty will be acquired by the corporation under the Order. One section states that if the whole railway is not completed within three years from the commencement of the Order the powers of the Corporation under it shall cease, though there is another pro- vision giving the Board of Trade power to allow an extension of time. In regard to the Belle-vue-street section, it is provided that the line passing Holy Trinity Church shall be a single one1, that the road outside shall be paved with wood, and that during the hours of Divine service on Sunday the speed of the carriages shall not exceed four miles an hour, and that no bell shall be sounded. Pro- vision is made for the leasing of the lines to the Swansea Tramway Company, but the terms are not stated. The question of extending manual training to the' majority of the schools was before the Swansea School Board again on Wednesday, ar.d a sharp clearage of opinion was manifes- ted. It is true that no one ventured to deny the value of the training or to contest, as an abstract proposition, the desirability of in- t) educing it. Nevertheless, there were two dis- tinct parties. Miss Dillwyn was the mouth- piece of one. She urged that however valu- able manual instruction might be "the finances of the Board did not at the present time war- rant them in going in for the expenditure. She thought that, they ought to look after the ratepayers, and not indulge in what was pro- bably a. luxury rather than a necessity." Mr. Wignall was the mouthpiece of the other party. The thing, he said. had to be done. no matter what it cost, if it was for the good of the future generation. So long as human nature is what it is there will always be these two parties—one anxious for efficiency, the other for economy. Our own opinion is that well-considered expenditure in the promotion of efficiency is thei best economy. It is the good business policy of finding more capital for the- extension of a profitable undertak- ing -> Mr. T. Travers Wood sends us the following rainfall statistics taken from his own observation at 28, Glanmor-crescent, Swansea Ins Rain in February, 1901 1-58 „ 1900 6.81 Do. for 1st, 2nd months of 1901. 5.01 1, 1900 13.45 Average yearly rainfall for last ten years 46.08 Commenting upon Swansea's dock scheme, the "Western Mail" says that "Swansea for its £ 1,884,000 is obtaining all the land it re- quires, is building its new dock and lock, laying out five important railways to feed it, P-tending the pjieTs, improving the enrance ehannel, and enlarging the half-tide basin of the North Dock. Unquestionably, the port is getting value for its money, vast as the sum seems." The Royal Agricultural Show at Cardiff on Wednesday, June' 26th, to Monday, July 1st nr-xt, promises to be a great success. The total value of prizes offered (exclusive of champion prizes and medals given by Breed Societies), is £ 6,110. Entries of live stock must be made by noon, April 15th, and for poultry, produce, etc., by Wednesday, May 1st next. Full particulars may be obtained of the secretary, 13, Hanover-square, Lon- don, W., and intending exhibitors should make early application for the necessary entry forms. The "Daily Chronicle says :—Wales desires to be represented in the Royal Standard, but the gallant little Principality seems to forget that it is represented at Court in a more pronounced manner. Years ago it was the custom of the Prince of Wales to have a harper, and in 1849 Queen Victoria selected the late Mr. Ellis Robert for the post, which, by the way, he held until his death in 1873, when he was succeeded by Mr. John Thomas. The Court instrument stands about 6ft. high, and conspicuous in the beautiful carving is the figure of the leak surrounded by oak leaves. On either side of the comb is carved the sentence, I aith enaid ar ei thannau," which it is hardly necessary to say means the language of the soul is in these strings." The arms of Wales, with the Prince's plumes, are shown on the sound board. Mr. Gwilym Eva.ns, of Llanelly, has made the tour of Europe, aaid returned laden with experience and knowledge of men and things gleaned in many countries. With all our faults and drawbacks, Mr. Evans considers "John Bull and his Isle" better off in most respects than his neighbours. He returns con- vinced of the importance of teaching lan- guage's, especially German and French, as a part of our commercial education, a view on which most people are agreed. Mr. Evans, however, is not greatly afraid of European competition, the really dangerous rival, in his estimation, being America. But even in regard to the Yankees, Mr. Evans discovers a remedy in combination-a homoeopathic sort of remedy which will enable British mer- chants to pay the Americans in their own coin. Mr. Herbert Lloyd, of Pontardawe, who is one of the vice-chairmen of the Glamorgan Quarter Sessions, is, without a doubt, one of the best lay magistrates in the county, and on Friday last, when presiding over the Pontardawe Police Court, he once more displayed his rare common sense and keen insight into human nature. Two young men, both named Davies, were before the court for obstructing foot passengers, and, it seemed that it would go hard with them, having regard to constant complaints about this practice, until Inspector Stans-field explained that there was unusual excitement on the night in question because of the departure of two Pontardawe volunteers for the front, one of them being, it was said, a brother of one of the defendants, After what the Inspector has said" promptly decided Mr. Lloyd we shall dismiss the case." We can, imagine, however, some old crusty "beak" and a bit of a stickler for the law deciding, in similar circumstances, that patriotism or no patriotism the public rights must be safeguarded and defendants must be fined ? Not so Mr. Herbert Lloyd. The Committee appointed last week by the joint meeting of Peers and members of Parlia- ment connected with Wales met on Monday afternoon at the House of Commons, when the following members attended Lord Aberdare, Lord Mostyn, Mr. Alfred Thomas (chairman), Messrs. Brynmor Jones, Lloyd George, Sir Edward Reed, Colonel Pryce-Jones, the Hon. George Kenyon, William Jones, and Vaughan Davies. On the proposal of Colonel Pryce-Jones seconded by Mr. Lloyd George, it was resolved to appoint a sub-committee consisting of Lord Aberdare, the Hon. George Kenyon, and Mr. Brynmor Jones, to draw up a memorial for presentation to his Majesty the King praying for the inclusion of an emblem of Wales in the Royal Arms, the draft memorial to be submitted to an adjourned meeting of the committee, which Mr. Brynmor Jones is to convene. It was further decided that the memorial to his Majesty should be signed by the Peers and members who attended the initiatory meeting. Birmingham Welshmen seem to have been claiming some big things for Wales at the recent St. David's dinner in that city. Says the "Birmingham Gazette," 'with good-humoured banter That the Welsh are an ancient, great, and famous nation no one disputes. We should not like to say, however, that all was authentic that was claimed for gallant little Wales at the dinner in celebration of the patron saint, St. David. It was announced that Wales sent St. Patrick to Ireland (another Irish grievance), that Ameriea was discovered by a Welshman (another insult to Spain), and that as the captain of the Mayflower was named Jones he must have been a Welshman also. The orators were on safer ground when they pointed out that Shakespeare had delineated Welsh characters in Henry V.' and other plays, and had invariably made them brave and virtuous, never evil. The natural corollary is that Shakespeare himself was a Welshman, and doubtless this will be proved in course of time by cryptograms or something else equally convincing." Our contemporary may be informed that the other day a Welsh pedigree man" sought to demonstrate that Shakespeare was a descendant of Wel-h kings. There is to be a combined effort in Swa,ise.% to support licensing reform,as foreshadowed in Lord Peel's minority report. A preliminary meeting of clergy and ministers of the town was held on Friday at the Y.M.C.A., for the purpose of con- sidering the advisability of holding a conference and big public meeting at an early date, to dis- cuss the subject, and to show the representative nature of the gathering it may be stated that here were present: the Rev. Chancellor Smith (in the chair), the Revs. J. Harris (Rhyddings), J. S. Harris, J. M. Saunders, B. Elsmere, W. Evans, R. T. Williams, Oscar Snelling, W. H Chamings, Tudor Jones, S. Fyne, and J. Titus' whib the laymen included Dr. Rhys Davies, Mes-rs. F. Rocke, J.P., Richard Watkins W. Meyler, Chas. Davies, Joseph Eosser, J.P., &c- Mr. A. F. Harvey, secretary of the Central Temperance Board, was also in attendance, and t was resolved to hold a conference and public meeting, under the auspices of this Board, with which is affiliated practically all the existing tempjrance societies in the kii gdom. A sub- committee was shuck to consider details, Dr. J' A. Rawlings and the R v. J. Watkirs Jones b-ing entrust<d wilh the ta-k of convening the sub-committee. If some brilliant speaker like ti e Rev. Scott Holland or Rev. Canon Gore, who visited Swansea some years ago could be brought down, a big filip would, we think, be given to the important movement.
