SWANSEA AND THE SCHOOLS' ACT. Board of Education s Ultimatum .4 special meeting of the Swansea Educa- lion Committee was haid on Monday after- xroon, Mr. R. Martin in chair, to con.- swfer a letter from the Board of Education. The Chairman at the outset referred to the application the managers had made to the Board of Education for powers to raise money for the remodelling of the Parochial and National Schools, and said there were conditions m the scheme by which the schools might be leased to the authority. The effect of one of them was that :f Y,IC,OW were jpent the whole of that money mast be repaid by the authority before the expiration :\f the lease. That meant that the buildings would go back to the trustees, and they would get all the benefit of the expenditure. Mr. D. Griffiths: That's like the Tory Go vernment. Objections can be entered within 21 day- ami a sub committee was appointed to deal j with the matter. The Board of Education letter was ther. corridered. The Chairman said tf if the Board of Education had the power it claimed why should it have asked the local authority to approve of alterations and improvements to the l.on-provided schoolsSupposing the Board were right in its latest contention, it wiped the local authority out. It was, how- ever, apparent to him that the Board had made one more mistake. What it had in fts mind was not the power it possessed with regard to the matter in question, but its powers as affecting public elementary schools obtaining grant. Nobody disputed the power of the Board with regard to that. The edu- cation authority had approved of no plans at all for the alterations to the National School, and be thought the Board of Educa- tion a wrong view of the matter en- tirely. 0 Mr. M'ov Evans thought so too, and the only dignified course to take was for the committee to adhere to the Council's retsolu- rtions of 'ast week. He thought they must deliberately repeat their protest against the Board of Education sending their architect down before the authority had had an op- portunity of fairly and properly consider- ing the managers' proposals. He moved a resolution to that effect. Mr. Morgan Tutton seconded ,and said it would be placing the onus upon the Board of Education of doing what the authority believed was an illegal act, by which if the managers sp-ent any money upon the buildings, it would be with theaT eyes open. Mr. Cad waliadr argued that the first in- st ructions to the managers of the National School was generally to put their house in order to the satisfaction of the authority, c They accordingly prepared plans that would be satisfactory to the Department, and that was all they were asked to do. Mr. Tut ton interposed that the authority never asked the managers to submit plane to the Department. Mr. Cadwalladr; Don't interrupt roB; let's have fair chance. Mr. Tutton Go on. Mr. CadwalladT said that only in the case of the Parochial School we're plans asked for, and contended that the authority had! not made "reasonable demands. Further, j they had declined to meet the managers, and that was unreasonable. Deliberately, he 6a id, the idea of the authority had been to jlelay and dilly-dally for som- purpose best known to tbemeelven. But the point was that the Act did not give the authority any power to require plans to be submitted for their approval, and consequently no plans were asked for in the case of the National School. The Chairman said the point was that the authority had not received from the mana- gers complete proposals, ar.d until they had the authority could not consider them, and the Board of Education had no right to inter- Vffie. Was there any object in their not Bending in complete plans? Mr. Moy Evans Oh, yes standing out for! funds. Mr. CadwalladT said that the authority! had no power to ask for plans. j. The Chairman We have a right to ask for improvements and alterations. Mt. Cad waliadr Certainly The Chairman And unless there are plane, how can we know whether our demands have been complied with? Mr. Moy Evans concurred, and said the Board of Education had made a mistake; they had forgotten there was such a thing, as the Act of 1902, and to at there as a section that- these things inat be accord- ing to the authority's satisfaction. Mr. Harris Then I suppose we are in a. position to ""ue a mandamus against them. Mr. Moy Evans Certainly we can. The committee passed the resolution almost unanimously. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS TAKEN. ) We understand Mr. Tutton referred to a letter that had been received from Messrs. Stricks and Bel ling ham, solicitor* to the managers of the Swansea Church Voluntary Schools, intimating that they have instituted lega.1 proceedings to compel the authority to pay the managers 40 per cent. of the echoot f('o:f\ in accordance wit., a recent de- ion of the Board of Education. The locaJ duration authority dispute the right of the Board to make such an appor- tionment. This letter w | >■>■ wrought up for confederation at the next meeting of the Finance Committee of the local authoritv. SWAN AUTHORITY'S REGRET- TABLE TACTICS. The architect to the Board of Education visited Swansea on Tuesday with a view, if possible, of arranging the differences that exist betwoan the local Education Authoiuy and the Department in London over the de- mands of tha former for the improvement of the non-f rovided school buildings and he got a very oooi reception at tho hands of the local edncatioo autbority. The clerk (Mr. Hal- den) av* hiiri, it is true, but it was on!v to =Ake the protest against his visit ac- cording fco the instructions of Monday's Committee-—a most irregular proceeding seeing thai committee's resolution needed the confirmation of the Council be- fore it ooold take effect. The architect was thea left at the Nation a' Schools in Oxford- btieet. Meanwhile, trntbority's own ar-1 chitect (Mr. Lawrence) who it was hoped would meet the Board's architect and discuss the plans, is in London. The Board's architect is Mr. Felix Clay, and at the National School he was met by, thf, vicar of Swansea and the other Church School managers. Subsequently he inspect- ctl this and other non-provided schools and discussed the plans with the managers' .c- chitects, Mr. H. W. Burrows (London) and C. Russell Peacock (Swansea). THE RE MODELLING SCHEME. In connection with Mr. Martin's imphe.i objection to the icheme proposed by the managers of the Nation.11 and Parochial Schools to raise £ 6,000 and £ 2,000 respec- tively on mortgage for the re- modelling of the schools, it mav be stated that the scheme provides for the repayment of the loans within 30 yearj in annual instalments, and that the sug- gested lease is under the following condi- tions "If at any time during the said perioll the trustees fail to pay any such instainienti as it falls due, or the school ceases to oe carried on as a public elementary school, then the trustees shall offer to the locil authority the option of taking the school- j house upon lease subject to a yearly rent at least sufficient to discharge the loan within th.' pericd of 30 years the repayment of i any further loans to terminate en or before the expiration of the lease and ttia leatse to be for such term as shall be agreed upon and subject to the approval of the Board ct Education. Other provisions in the scheme provide for the power of the trustees to sell or let the sch-»ol house if leased to the local authority and the rent is not paid." REMODELLING THE NATIONAL j SCHOOLS. The Board of Education hive issued no- tio-s to the effect that in a month's time tn,v propose to establish a scheme for ,the aril: inistration of the foundations ox the National and Parochial Schools. The scheme has reference to an applioa-; tion made by the managers of the schools r.f n ed for powers to raise C6,000 in the case of the National and £ 2,000 for the Parochial Schools, so that they may be re- ffi( delled according to the demand of the' Local Education Authority.

Question of Fact for Swansea to Judge. In the course of the discussion at Wedr>\s day's meeting of the Swansea Council regard- in, the ap[>ortionment of the fees collecred at the National Higher Grade School, Mr. Jas. Livingston, shaking of the action taken by the managers of the latter, (lb- served "We narr.-ed a sum which they rc- fused t/j accept. What was their rep'y?'' The Cierls 'They sent to the Department." Mr. Martin: "Tcey made no reply to us.| To what degree this statement accords with the facts may be judged from the corres- pondence which is reproduced below. In November, 1.904 (the correspondent writer) the schaol managers wrote to the Education Ccmmittoe, asking for an interview regard ing four matters in dispute, one of which was the apportionment of the school fees, but without success. In January the corresp&n- dent wrote again, but received no reply to the suggestion to divide the fees equally, as had been done in other education areas. Not until Septe-noer, 1905, did the L,Ci ucati),i Committee for the first tirlle disclose their case to the managers. The following corres- pondence tells its own tale, as to whether or not tile managers made no reply to the corn- munication from the Education Committee sent on the 22nd September. liLTTE FROM COMMITTEE TO SCHOOL COK.R Ei)PO.\D £ ^T. "ZZud September, 1905. "Dear Sir,—I am directed to inform you 1 that the question of the apportionment of, the School Fees between the Managers and this Authority has been reconsidered, and that at a meeting of the Authority held I b 2Cth last., the report of the Finance Sub- Committee as attached was adopted. I iilll I further directed to state that if the Man- agers will submit a rea^sonable proposal baaed upon some just principle and eup-! ported b. a finajicial statement, the pro-j posal will receive the Authority's ca-lefull c o n sii der a,t i on." TiiE A CK -\T O \V 1 .ElfGM ENT. "23rd September. 1906. "Sil". beg to acknowledge receipt ofil your letter dated the 22nd inst.—(Signed) A. F. Eden." THE REPLY. "26th September, 19C5 "Dear Sir,—In further reference to your letter of the 22nd inet., on the above sub- ject, which appears to be a reply to my .?t.. ter of the 4th January last, I note that you 'are directed to state that i; the managers will submit a reasonable proposal based upon some just principle and supported by a financial statement the proposal will re- ceive the Authority's careful consideration.' As you are aware, the M-anagera have ai- leady written to the Board of Education pointing out that no agreement could lie arrived at between themselves and the Local Education Authority, and at this late date the Managers consider that the only way to arrive at a decision is by asking the Board of Education to determine under Section 14 of the Education Act 1902 what the propor- tion of the Fees payable to the Managers should be. 1 understand that a, copy of the ilirinte adopted by th, Town Council on the 20th inst has been forwarded to the Board of Ivoncation, and the Managers will pre- pare their 0a.se, and forward it to the same quarter without delay, sending a copy to yo;t for the informatia,n of the Local Edu- cation Committee. OIl the 2nd November, 190?, the Correspondent of the National Schools wrote to the Town Clerk of Swan- sea requesting, on bebalf of the Managers, ,ig, an interview with the local Education Authority in reference to four subjeots, one of which was the question of these Fees, bat eo far no interview ha-s been granted by the Local Education Authority, and to-day is exactly one year since the Local Education Authority took over the Schools. In view ot this, and the continued hostile attitude ot the' Authority, the Managers have no other course open to them except that of an appeal to the Board of Education. A copy of this letter is being forwarded to the Board of Education for their informa- tion.-Yours faithfully (Signed) A. P. Eden." ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ITS RECEIPT. "2éth September, 1905 "Dear Sir,—I am in receipt of your letter of 26th inst. ro above, which will be sub- mitted to the next meeting of the Educa- tion" Committee to be held 9th October next. —Tours faithfully (Signed), A.

Swansea Electrical Supply En- gineer's Monthly Report. Tramwavs and Electric Lighting Committee met on Wednesday, Mr. Sin- clair presiding. The Engineer reported that there were 738 con.aniens, and that the maximum load was 759 kiiowahs, or an electrical horse power ot 1,017—the largest yet. The two 150 k.w. motor alternators had been fixed, and were ready for supplying electrical energy to the Morriston and Sketty districts. Delay had taken place in the completion of the switch board, but an effort was being made to get the supply available by Christmas. The I the supply available by Christmas. The electric lighting of Port Tennant, Strand, Walter-road and the Pentre Bridge-road, he advised, should be left in abeyance, as it would be almost impossible to carrv out the arc lighting to be of much service during the prasent winter. The "Empire" supply had been installed in such a manner as to throw on to t,he electricity works at times a very considerable outer-balanced load, and ho suggested that he be authorised to go into the matter with the "Empire" authorities. The plant at the Destructor Works was now taking up the tramway load systematically. The Chairman intimated that the Tram- ways Company had paid £ 2.000 on account of rent. The company further wrote expressing pleasure that the Corporation had decided that the repairs to the overhead equipment on the Brynhyfrvd section should be in thft hands of the company in common with the repairs on the other sections, but could not understand upon what principle the Corpora- tion asked the compa.ny to pay a proportion of the wages of the Corporation ;TVPector.- The matt or was left to the electrical en- gineer, with power to settle. With regard to the proposal of Mr. Mar-j tyn, Sketty, for the watering of tramway) rails, the surveyor reported that Mr. Mar- tyn's patent had been superseded. However, from enquiries obtained elsewhere, it was most undesirable that there should be such watering, as the foundations might be affected. The proposal dropped. The Chairman supported the engineer's re- quest to postpone the arc-lighting of the places named in his report on the ground that it was not yet certain which was the best arc lamp on the market.-It was decided to allow the engineer to experiment with various types of lamps. The committee endorsed the action of the engineer in sanding workmen, who occasion- ally met witfi injury by flashes of light, to an eye specialist, and further decided that the Corporation should defray the cost of glasses in such cases. The Engineer said that th-o insurance com- pany declined to pay the doctors' fees;they paid half wages after the first fortnight. A large consumer wrote asking for a con- cession in his account, and alleged that he could save C35 per annum by the The of ?as. The Engineer said this all depended on the amount of gas ys-cd. The Mayor said he used electricity, and found very little difference in the cost. All that was wanted was to exercise care, but he would not go back to gas. The matter was left with the engineer. Regarding the engineer's report that tie electrical supply from the Duet Destructor Works was satisfactory, the surveyor .supple- mented it by saying that when steam was generated from four o'clock in the afternoon to midnight, a little coal was found to be necessary, but when fitoam was generated the whole day on to midnight, it could be done by means of refuse o.ily. The engineer's report was agreed to. The committee passed the final certificate amounting to P,4,773 on account of the con- tract for tramways extension i

Earl Cawdor and the G W.R. The London correspondent of the "New- castle Daily Chronicle" writes:—"It .s lively, I understand, that the Earl of Caw- dor will resume the chairmanship of the Great Western Railway. The Earl's ex- perience as First Lord of the Admiralty been unique. He has occupied the position tor some six months, but he has never said a j word in public on the business of his Jf- partment.

SWANSEAS LITTLE LOANS. Inquiry by the L.G.B., Inspector, At the Guildhall, Swansea, on Wednes- day, Mr. P. M. Crosthv/aite, Local Govern-; ment Board Inspector, held an inquiry into the application of the Swansea Corporation for powers to borrow 180 for the provision of a cesspool exhauster and hose JB715 for refuse destructor purposes £14,627 for works and water supply, and £390 for the erection of a sanitary convenience in Quay Parade. Messrs. F. Cory Yeo (president), Joseph Hall, J.P., and E. P. Jones were pre&ent representing the Swansea Manufac- turers' and Traders' Association. As regards the exhauster, the deputy- Town Cierk explained that there were 235 cesspools in the borough and tlie proposed exhauster would deal with some fifty cess- pools in the Sketty district. The Borough Surveyor .said there were J no sewers at the spot, and the exhauster I would empty the cesspools without mcon- venience. Mr. Cory Yeo asked whether it was not better to pay small sums out of the rates rather thaji increase the fundea debt of the, borough. Some £14,000 or £15,ÜOO was re- quired for water works purposes, and it seemed as though advantage was being taken of the opportunity to borrow smaller amounts, which, perliaps, could be better met out of revenue. Deputy Town Clerk said the Corporation were of opinion the amount should be capi- talised if the sums were defrayed out of rates the latter would be so high that the rate-payers would object to t.he spendaig of the monies. The Inspector said the Local Government Board would not Ittid money for anything that was not capital expenditure. The dust destructor building and plant cost £320 in excess of the amount sanctioned, and the amount asked for was needed. As a matter of tact £57.1 ha* already been ex- pended. Mr. Joseph Hall asked what was the per centzge for obtaining the loans by way of commission, 0rid Deputy Town Clerk said the Corporation had just negotiated for a loan of £79,000 at Lis. 6d. per cent., including stamp duty, preparation of the mortgages, and the ex- penses connected with raising the loan. In answer to Mr. F. Cory Yeo, the Sur- veyor said it was admitted that the right method of destroying refuse in towns was by burning. All progressive towns were going in for destructors. A sum of £51 was charged for deputation expenses, and the Surveyor explained that committee members and himself Man- chester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, a.nd London, and were away practically a week. Mr. F. Cory Yeo did not think that sum should be included. There had been .riti- cism—rightly or wrongly—as to the ex- penses ratepayers were put to in respect of visits to London and elsewhere. He did not think there had been extravagance, hut it was just as well that those charges should be paid out of the rates, and the attention of tne ratepayers called to the expenditures, so that econc-my might be effected. The amount required for water works pur- poses is in respect of the purchase and lay- ing of mains, necessary extensions, and the laying of mains round the proposed new dock to supply ships with water. I Mr. Cory Yeo asked the Deputy Town Clerk if the wateT works amount asked for was part of the last Bill. The Deputy Town Clerk, in reply, said the amount was not so I included the Corporation were applying or this loan under the provisions of the Public Health Act. At the conclusion, the inspector visited the works with which the inquiry was con- nected.

¡ Swansea Telephones Appeals. In connection with the Swansea Tele- r hones' law the town clerk reported 10 the Telephones Committee on Tuesday af- ternoon that the Court of Appeal had con- sented to the application to expedite the appeal, and it would be heard in London jn Mcrday net The Chairman of the Corporation Tele- phones Committee (Mr. Dan. Jones) and the town clerk were deputed to be present at the hearing on Monday. regards the borrowing of "a further sum oi £7,000 for the extension of the mLricipal telephone service, it was explain- ed to the committee that this matter was I fitiil under the consideration of the Post- master-General. The town clerk was instructed to at ..)::<.<* I ccn munica-te with the Postmaster-General pressing him to give his decision with the let possible delay, and afterwards 'o apply to the Local Government Boaid <cr sarction to borrow the necessary amount. A letter to the Postmaster-General uas read pointing out the extreme urgen'.y 1 the case, as the hands of the Corpo-ittion were tied as regards extensions of thei: svs- terr. pending the sanction of the loan. C ENGINEER'S EXPENSES. At the meeting of the Swansea Telephones Committee on Tuesday, Mr. Bennett, consulting engineer, ren- dered an account amounting to £28 in res- pect of writing a number • keep- ing interviews. Mr. Corker said the commission arranged I covered the charges according to bis view. Mr. Howel Lewis moved a sub-committee I go into the matter. It was decided to pay the account of JB152 also rendered in full discharge and liability.

I MR. BALFOUR RESIGNS. Five Years of Unionist Govern- Government Ended. Ca mpbell Bannerman's Audience with the King. Accepts the Task of Forming a Cabinet. Cabinet Rank for Mr. Lloyd- George. It was formally announced, she before o'ciock on Monday evening, that Mr. iialfour bad tendered ins resignation that Sir Henry Cauipbt-ll-Baxinerman had been upun to have audience with bis Ma- jesty the King; and that Sir Henry, who was proceeding there forthwith, was pre pared to form a Cabinet. The official announcement in the Court Circular 01 Mon- day evening ran as follows: — "The Right Hon. A. J. Balfour. M.P., had an audience of the King yesterday af- ternoon ;md tendered his resignation as Prime Minister and First Lord of the 'treasury, which his Majesty was graciously pleased to accept." Sir Henry Campbe'l-Bannermm was also commanded to wait upon the Kmg-at a quar- ter to eleven on Tuesday morning. A Privy Council summoned for a little later on Tuesday postponed. The Council was to have been held to decide on the further prorogation of Parliament and this will now rest with the new Ministry. Rumours are already afloat in abundance concerning the probable members of the in- terim Ministry. Within a week all should be lilled and the appointment of the ma- jority was expected to be announced almost immediately. Mr. Lloyd-George's poet is mentioned by the "Daily Chronicle" and other journals as at the Government Board. Other opinions are that Mr. Morley will go to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, Sir R. Reid to the Lord Chancellorship, Mr. Her- bert Gladstone to the Home Secretaryship, and Messrs. Aequith and Haldane and Sir E. Grey are marked out inevitably for high office, but their exact position is unknown. The "Daily Chronicle" notes that there is a strong feeling amongst the Liberals in favour of a Ministry of Labour being created, and suggests Mr. John Burns as president. "C.-B.'S" INTERVIEW WITH THE KING. A message from the Press Association on Tuesday morning states: — "Sir H. Campbell- Bannerman saw the King this morning and accepted the task oi forming a new Government." Sir Henry arrived at Buckingham Palace at eighteen minutes to eleven, in a hansom cab, unattended. Sir Henry was almost im- mediately conducted to the presence of the King. Wben Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman reached the palace, tlte guard changing was in progress, and the band of the Cold- streams was playing a lively air. A large crowd was at the railings in front of the palace, out very few persons appeared to have noticed the Liberal leader as cab passed into the yard. A few, how- ever, recognised him and waved their nats by way of greeting. He ieft Buckingham Palace at 11.40. Sir Henry, it is lnder- stojd, did not remain the whole of the time with his Majesty. The Libera! leader al-3adv has such an understanding with his leading colleagues as to secure a nucleus for the new Govern- ment, and it is stated that most of the Cabinet offices have been tentatively ap- propriated, but no official list can be pub- lished until communications now in pro- gress are concluded. When to Henry left the bulk of the crowd bad dispersed, but a few score people remained at the exit gate, and made a. most enthusiastic demonstration as Sir Henry left, waging their hats and cheering witn great vigour. Sir Henry drove away to his residence in .Belgfave-square. Almost immediately afterwards Lord Tweedmouth drova'-jnp, followed by Mr. Acsquith and Mr. John Morley. MR. ASQUITH Ijf CONSULTATION. Prior to Henry Campbell-Banner- man's departure from Belgrave-square for Buckingham Palace, Mr. Asquith had an in- terview with him. SIGNIFICANT VISIT TO THE NEW PREMIER. TOO Duke of Devonshire visited Sir Henry Campbell-Bann^rman at Belgrave-squaje on Tuesday. Several members who will be cer- tainly included in the new administration, however, regard this visit, it is said, as be- ing more of I). personal political in- terest. They have no reason to suppose that the visit carries political significance, although it seems to ne considered likely that the Duke of Devcmshire, as the head of the Unionist Free Food movement, would natur- ally wish to consult with the new Prime Minister as to future- line of action upon that question, as well as possibly also to receive from him inprivate some assurance bearing upon the Liberal policy towards Irish problems- It is not expected- at present that the Duke, having been formerly a member of of the out-going Government would him- self be disposed to join the administration now being formed. Tht; Duke's interview with Sir Henry oc- cupied ten minutes. I LLOYD-OBORGR'S RETURN FROM ABROAD. The Press Association telegraphs: Mr. Lloyd-George has returned to London trom Italy entirely restored to health. In view of the expected turmoil over the impending g^n^ral election, arrangements have been postponed for the proposed WD- ference of Libera! Federation and the convention of Welsh County Councils As- sociation which it was proposed to hold at Swansea, towards the end of January to dis- cuss the questions of policy with regard to Welsh Dissstablishment and Education question Mr. Lloyd-George is said to have stated iu an interv.ew on his return that he aid ruv believe it was Sir Henry's intention to introduce the next Parliament a Home Rule measure based on lines of .d86 and f 1893. BALFOUR'S ENGAGEMENTS IN MANCHESTER. The Press Association states that at the meeting of constituents in East Man- chester, whib Mr. Balfour will address on I Saturday afternoon next, all the Conserva- tive members for Manchester and Salfori I have been invited to accompany him on the platform. Mr. Balfour has a non-political engagement Manchester on Monday when I be has promised to attend the annual din- I ner of the British Cotton Growing Associa- tion. HOME THRUST FOR THE NEW I PREMIER. The "Pall Mall Gazette," in an editorial comment un Monday evening's news, re- marks that ''The man who accused his coun- trymen of 'methods of barbarism' in a war conducted with unparalleled restraint and magnanimity cannot be particularly jealous for British honour in the eyes of the world. and it is not reassuring to know that he will hold the chief responsibility for British pres- tige for a coining period, however brief that period may be." CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH NEXT FRIDAY. The arrangements are now almost com- plete for the meeting at Oxford on Friday next to be addressed by Mr. Chamberlain under the auspices of the University Tariff Reform League, and at which a resolution will be moved endorsing the policy of Tariff Reform. It is understood that practically every ticket is sold and that hundreds of applica- tions have been refused. MR. CHAMBERLAIN GRATIFIED. Mr. Chamberlain wa £ at Highbury when he received the news of the resignation of the Government. The right hon. gentleman has all along been in favour of an early appeal to the country, and in reply to an enquiry from the editor of the "Birmingham Daily Post," he 6atid "I am glad to hear that the Prime Min- ister has resigned, and that Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman has accepted office." INTERESTING POLITICAL GOSSIP. The "Daily Mail" says that Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman will invite Lord Rose- bery to be Foreign Secretary, but that there can be little doubt as to what his answer will be. There isc excellent authority for the state- ment (says the "Morning Post") that Sir Charles Dilke will not be offered a post in the new Government. "Mr. Lloyd-George must, of course, be provided for," adds the same journal, "but (among the disappointed, it is understood, will be Mr. Winston Churchill." HOME RULE PREMIER'S ADVENT HAILED. The "Freeman's Journal" hails the new Premier, as, according to his own declara- tion, a Home Ruler awaiting his oppor- tunity. His advent to power, the journal says, must have a profound effect on the political future of Ireland, and'the Irish people and their leaders are full of nope that the great cause in. which they have never wavered is about to enter upon a period of rapid progress and prospect. MOVEMENTS OF KING EDWARD. The King, who, after receiving Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, was present at the wedding of Countess Victoria Gleichen at the Chapel Royal, left London in the after- noon for Wimborne en route to Crichel on a visit to Lord and Lady Arlington. It is understood Mr Balfour, who was one of the invited guests, will not be able to go on account of winding up of his official duties. The King, according to present arrange menls, will return to London at the end of the piasfnt week, but may be back earlier should any development of the political situ- ation demand his presence.

Sir H. CampbeIl-Bannerman s I Cabinet. The following announcement was published by the Court Circular on Tuesday night: — "His Majesty summoned the Right Hon.

Cardinal Logue, Roman Catholic Primate of Ireland, has written to a. correspondent: "1 believe the course wh!ch seems to be con- templated by some of your Nationalist poli- ticians in England, hut of forcing the Irish vote in favour of candidates who call them- selves Liberals, though they declare them- selves openly against Home Rule, and de- nounce in the most unmeasured terms any- thing like religious education will end in their coming into power with a majority which wil1 enable them to snap their fingers at the Irish party." He adde: "If Radical candidates find that Irish Catholics will vote for candidates who repudiate Home Rule a.nd offensively denounce Catholic education, both questions will soon go into the background." So far, 70 candidates ba.v<>. been selected by the Labour Representation Committee to contest seats; and there are some, other 26 Labour candidates, 17 of them approved by Federation.

I Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman and the Lords. There was much rumour on Wednesday to the effect that the Prime Minister would go to the House of Lords, poesibly with the position of Foreign Secretary. "We are 'n a position" (says the London "Daily News ) "to state that no such decision has been ar- rived at. The whole of the Liberal Party would strongly deplore a departure from an attitude always maintained by the party, and never feit more keenly than at the pre- &eut time when it looks tor a strong demo- cratic policy involving a conflict with the Flouse of Loras. "The only consideration which would move Sir Henry toO adopt a course contnry to the wishes j the patty and his own known view us that ot health. The strain of leadership in the House ot Commons will be severe but not so severe as the strain of the leadership of the Opposition in cir- cumstances of unparalleled uimculty UKe those of the last five years. "No appointments were a ..aounced, and it will be well to treat ail rumours as mere guesoos at the truth," it continue.T. "The probability of Lord Elgin's appointment to the Foreign Secretaryship—an appointment foreshadowed on Monday-has strengthened. and Sir Edward Grey is now -spoke of in connection with the Colonial Office." SIR HENRY MAY GO TO THE UPPER CHAMBER. Thursday e limes says in its politicai notes.—"there is a growing belief that Sir Henry's decision will be to go to the House of Lords at once. It is felt that an ar- rangement which every one knows con- templated in a few months had better be callied into effect at the beginning, so that the Government as constituted now may be definitive and not merely provisional. 11115 arrangement would secure, as it is noL certain that any other would secure, tht; adhesion to the Prime Minister of all the leading Liberals except Lord Rosebery." MR. WYNDHAM PELTED WITH ADJECTIVES. The United Irish League's national conven- tion was resumed on Thursday, Mr. John Redmond presiding. Rev. father ca-key, moving a resolution denouncing the bad faith of the Government and Mr. vVyndham for having shametec-sly abandonoo a declared intention to settle the agricultural labourers' question on satisfac- tory lines, said that for meaness, treachery, ana cowardice, he did not think any man was so really bad as M'r. VVyndham. Mr. Flynn, M.P., also accused Mr. Wynd- ham of perfidy and treachery. Resolution passed. EARL PERCY, 'S HAPPY METAPHOR. Earl Percy, speaking at a Conservative lur.cheon at Glasgor on Wednesday, com- pared the present time to the interval at a cricket match. University were unprepar- ed to take the field. The tnoment um- pirv. gave notice they would bowl straight and underhand. Their opponents wou a ta-ie the field without their -ex-captain, be- cause they insisted upon playing not witb th'l new bats he offered, but with bat-s which had already been rplintered in two previous innings. "DEGRADATION OF POLITICS": "C.-B.'s" METHODS OF BARBARISM. Sir E. Carson on Wednesday ..ight took advantage of the change of Government to take up the roie of attacker. "I do not regret the change," he said at the dinner of the Putney branch of the Wandsworth Conservative Association. "I am glad of it. I am tired of the campaign of calumny and vituperation against the late Prime Minister, tired of that degradation of politics which prepared to represent an hon- ourable English gentleman as one who ought to be in the dock at the Old Bailey." to be in the dock at the Old Bailey." If Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman had got the spoils of office, be had not won them in ordinary warfare, but by "methods of bar- barism." CHAMBERLAIN POSTPONES AN ENGAGEMENT, In view of the general election, Mr. Cham- berlain hes postponed his visit.to Canter- bury, which had been arranged for January lltli. SIR ALFRED THOMAS CALLS ON The callers upon Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman on Thursday included Mr. Bryoe, Mr. Asquith, Lord Elgin, Sir Alfred Thomas, Hon R. Spencer, Lord Tweed- mouth, and Ilr. Herbert Gladstone. 'CONSERVATIVE M.P. RETURNED: "C.B.'S" FIRST NEW MEMBER. The result of the Lymington (New Forest) election was announced on Thursday, as fol- lows Compton (C.). 4,539 Hobart (L.) 4,340 Conservative majority. 199 In 1895 and 1900 the Conservative candi- date was returned unopposed; in 1892 there was a Conservative majority of 755; in 1886 no contest; and in 1885 a Conservative majority of 770.

Lieutenant Helme Starts his Campaign. Lieut. Helme has now begun his caxapslgn as Conservative candidate for Gower. He started by motor from Swansea. on Thursday morning for a preliminary tour round the constituency, a.nd will address his first meet- ing, probably at Reynoldstone, next Wed- nesday. We understand that Mr. Waddingion wishes to devote hin whole time to Swansea town, and he has therefore decided to act in an advisory capacity only as far as Gower is concerned. Lieut. Helme has consequently appointed eq Mr. F. Beddoes Nash, solicitor, Swansea, to act as his election agent.

Mr. John Williams' Candidature. The following somewhat cryptic para- graph appears in a Cardiff paper on Thurs- day A rumour which affected the candidature of Mr. John Williams. the Labour candi- date for the Gower Division, having reached the ear of 1T. W. Abraham (Mabon), M.P., he wired for Mr. Williams'and had a consul- tation with him upon the matter. Mr. Williams was able to produce uindis- putable documentary evidence to prove that the attack upon him was unwarrantable and baseless, and Mabon realising this agreed with Mr. Williams upon a plan of campaign, and with the assistance of other members of the Miners' Executive this will be entered upon with earnestness and vigour immediately.. Mabon has promised to give him every possibla, active support in Gower, as he realises that Mr. Williams, like himself, though first and foremost a. Labour member in his progressiveness embraces all the prin- ciples of Liberalism and Radicalism. STATEMENT BY MR. WILLIAMS. The incident referred to above was brolight about in this way. A Gwauncaegurwen op- ponent of Mr. Williams wrote to Mr. W. Abraham regarding a certain business mat- ter which occurred about eighteen years ago. NIT. Williams was able to show "Ma- bon" documentary evidence proving that the correspondent was labouring under a total misapprehension. Arising from the incident which was being connected with the suggestion that the miners' representa- tive might retire in favour of Mr. J. Jay Willia.ms, a "Daily Post" reporter was on Thursday morning assured by Mr. John Wil- liams that the latter would retire for no one. He was pledged irrevocably to contest the seat, and already some 23 local commit- ters had been formed to further his candi- dature.

Swansea Boy Falsely Charged at Bristol. At Bristol on Tuesday, George Evans (16), of Swansea, was charged on remand with stealing a pair of operaglasses. He had bson in custody eight days, and it was stated that the boy had not stolen the glasses, but had bought them at an auction sale in Car- diff. The Bench expressed their sympathy with the lad, who was very upset, and said they were pleased to tell him there was no con- viction recorded against him. Asked how he got so much as 8s., the sum found on him, the boy replied that he bought post-cards six for a penny, and sold them at a penny each. He had run away from his parents at Swansea, because, he said, they had ill-troated him for not working, not that he would not work, but that he could not find work. The lad was handed over to the care of the Police-court and Prison-gate Missioner to take him back to his home. 'I

DROPSY, BRIGHTS DISEASE, AND HEART WEAKNESS. UNABLE TO WORK FOR 32 WEEKS. CURED BY VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC. Mr. John Macmiilan, 15, Comxnercia'- etrcet, Bridgend, Perth, writes, June 30th, 1905:—"At the Degmnmg of June, 1904, I got a Severn chill on the kidneys, and after a long attendance of two doctors I was told it was Bright's disease. I had also great weak- ness Gf the heart, and suffered terribly from dropsy. When the first doctor stopped coining, we sent for another, but he had not been attending me long, when he said there wai, not much hope; so I stopped his treat- ment and took Veno's Seaweed Tonic. That was in February last; since then it has done for me what two doctors did not do in yearly a year.

MR. EVAN LEWIS. Long and Useful Career at the Royal Institution, The) post of curator for the Royal institu- tion, Swansea, which has been held for the long period of nearly forty years by Mr. Evan Lewis, will become vacant at the end of the year. Mr. Lewis has naturally seen great changes during this long period. There are but few of those who were members of the institution at the time he took office alive now. One could almost count them on his fingers ends. At this time there was ample. room in the original buildings for several years for the yearly additions that were being made to both the Museum and Li- brary. But so rapid was the growth of both of these departments that all the space re- ferred to soon became fully occupied. Since then the capacity of the building has been more than doubled, and still, notwithstand- ing these large extensions which have been made to the building from time to time during recent years, the yearly inflow of books and specimens are such that the space at present at the command of the council is taxed to its itmost. The mem- bers have trebled in number during this I period, and the treasures within the walls of the institution have also increased in pro- portion. Mr. Lewis has sW the establishment of a permanent art gallery of the institution, which now forms an important section of -t, wherein a most interesting collection of local prints and portraits of local celebrities may be seen. He was instrumental in inducing a small group of gentlemen to form the Swansea Geological Society in 1877, known now as the Swansea, Scientific Society, of which he has been one of the hon. secre- taries for many years, and hon. curator from the commencement. He has also seen the establishment of the Swansea Sketch -iub and Art Society here, the seventeenth annual exhibition of which is now being held in the Art Gallery of the institution, and of which Mr .Lewis has been one of the hon. sec- retaries since 1899. It is pleasing, there- fore, to add that the members of the in- stitution intend presenting Mr. Lewis with a tangible mark of the high esteem in which he is held.

Gower Guardians. Gcwer Guardians met on Tuesday, l ev. J. V. Roberts presiding. The Chairman moved that the ilsual Christmas dinner be given the worKiiouse paupers. He further proposed that the usual supply of beer be also given. Captain Bostock seconded. Rev. D. D. Davies, Mumbles, moved In amendment that no beer be given. He said there were 400 workhouses in the country where no beer was given; on Christmas Day. He strongly objected to the propositi j'i. Mr. Richards, Rhossilly, seconded, and saio that it was through the beer ther wcrkhouses, gaols, and asylums were bein; filled. The Master said the men received a pint and the women half a pint each. It was the same beer as the guardians had been I having at their luncheon. Mr. R. H. Morris, Mumbles, said that while beer was detriment'il t" 'ow;. >t "i .considerable good to r- i" 0-,i a.

As soon. as defendant got out witness seized him. Prisoner had a bundle in his hand, contain- ing cheese, and was taken to the polios sta- tion. On being charged, defendant replied, "That s right."

The charge of breaking and entering the refreshment-room at the Prince of Wales Dock was then proceeded with. E: Palmer said he left the shop securely fastened at two o'clock on December 2nd. Mrs. Palmer said she was called to the tavern by the police at 10 a.m. on Decem- ber 3rd, found the window bad been broken, and the articles stolen.

They owed him a deep and lasting debt, -,I gratitude, for he was a generous and the- oasb worker. What the committee wis* to bring home to the public was the amo- nti of time, trouble, and money spent in Ïnveùi. gating cases. Some extended over w ani even months. In one case 16 visits were paid and 17 letters and postcards sent out. The year's balance-sheet unfortu- nately showed a considerable falling of in dcnations. The subscription list was iiiiJ very small, and inadequate to the needs ol the society. Money spent on food in i-naaa of illness increased to L26 7s. 4d., as agau^rj P,7 Os. Id. last year.
