SEAMEN'S STRIKE. SUCCESS- 0J1 THE UNiOmST SAILORS AT CARDIFF, CREWS SIGNING ON AT ADVANCED RATES. SHIPOWNBBS' ASSOCIATION ASK FOR PROTECTION. DEPUTATION TO THE MAYOR. The Unionist sailors and fijemeo, who are agitating for, and up to the present ha.ve suc- ceeded in obtaMiing. a higher rate of wa^ae, on yitday again reoeived the pay they demaud. There has beeu no repetition of the riotous soenea enacted on Thursday, when the windows of two boarding-houses were smashed, and the strike ? passively, though obstinately, main- tained. The crowd outside the Board of Trade and Shipping Offices was on Friday morning larger than ever, but there was no meeting of the men and no demonstration. The struggle on the men's side is characterised by quiet- ness and order. The shipowners, apparently, take little, if an Ii, notice of the strike. Two crews wore shipped on board on Thursday nig-ht and two more on Friday morning at the old ra-tee. Later «n Friday, however, two crews and two parts of crews signed en at the Sbibping Office at the Uaion rate of pay. Mr. Wilson was again in attendance organising the campaign, which oontumed throughout the day quietly and withont any disturbing elements. An informal meeting of the Shipowners' Association was held on Friday morning, when a deputation waited upon the mayor (Mr. W. J.

For a Christian man to pay such a miserable pittance was a disgrace. (Applause.) The shipowners tiid not care for the wives and families of the men so long as they themselves weie well fed. auct lived in fine houses, and had plenty of luxuries. If they had all that they cared little whether the men and their wives and families lived or died. The present struggle at the Cardiff Docks ht: did not call a strike. It was only a demand for increased rates of ware3. He urged them to avoid a strike, which should he adopted ouly as a last resource, but I it they did strike, they should stnke properly, and strike hard. If onlv Cardiff shipowners were reasonable he would be pleased to nego- tiate with ti4em to settle the iittle matters in dispute, but it was useless and utterly hopeless to come to term", with nw-n \h0 used such argu- ments as were employed by the shipowners of Cardiff to justify a starvation rate of wages.

WELSH LAND COM- I MISSION. '<J,. THE SITTINGS AT MOLD. EVIDENCE OF M.R. P. P, PENNANT. The Lamd Commisakm held a crowded meet- mg in the Town-hall, Mold, on Friday. The first important witness was Mr. P. P. Pen- nant, for several recent elections Conservative candidate for the Flint Boroughs. He had been in possession of hie estate of 1,400 acrooof purely agracultnirail land in Mint and West Denbigh for 40 years. During the first por- tion of that period rents rose; during the latter portion tlhw had dropped. In 1856 his rental was j61,683, in 1866 it was £1,834, and in 1894 it was £1,559. He had a!«o given 10 per cent, abatements for the last four years, but he was rather against abatements being continued. The rents should be revised. For merly the tendency was towards consolidation, for it was believed farms must be large, owing to the use of machinery; but. now the tendency was the otiher way. If there were more labourers there would be distress at sœae se.isons of the year. The Denbigh and Flint Dairy Sciiool, of whioh he wag chairman, had ckww nwieh to improve the butfer-making, and last year oat of 46 persons who got prizes, ar I were honourably mentioned at Chester Royal Suow twenty had been pupils sat the school. His suggestions for improving the agricul- tural outlook were six in number: First he put the capital expenditure on the laud, Landlords not, aa the case of Ireland showed, lay out capital if there were dual owner- ship, ood three-fourths of tire tenaai-* had barely enough capital to do themselves just-ice. Aa it was, therefore, the landlord ought to do all repairs and improvements under Schedules 1 and 2. leaving the equipment of the farm and put- ting heart into tho land to the farmer. In (order to stoure the latter it w. neoesfsarv to a»5flure tenaiitp of CGmpen<?a.tioli for general im- provements, and for this purpose he would e-stabliiih a .system of agricultural valuers with tiie atato of English judgt^, in order tha.t all mig-ht trust tiiesij tmpiioitly. He w«r-uhi ps v them 30 ad to keep them above temptation. Thft Agricultural Holding's Act should be amended to Drovttie for compensation for improvements I' m case of change of ownership. Tlw Agri- cultural ttoard should have a. larger ;>uu allotted I for a^TiGulturhd teaching. and ,Í!0uld ha.ve charge of the arrangement* practically f<* that teaching, ihia would bnng tlie proper expert krjovvled^ to _boai' on un rmiwa'-cant fjuedt!oa. The Merohancise ^Mst*-ks Act sln,uld be applied to :vo K-.ultural pto<Ak«s, iwul light railways should be made in many districtfi, but for this purpose it w at essential that the Board of Trade regulations should he relaxed. It was absurd to enforce the sanin regulations on a small line, as on tiu railway between Rugby and Eu.-stom Protection he advanced reduction of the cost ot production — which in this respect meant a saving to the farmer, for the priett was regulated, not by home produce, but by foreign. Professor Rhys said there were many experts m Wales fit to oooupy positions as valuers suah as those suggested bv Mr. Pennant To Mr. LI. •Tones, tenants' representative, witness said he did not re-introduce the policr of smaller holdings in order to populate the estate with Conservatives and Churchmen. It ¡ was. firstly, because the smaller holdings now I paid better, and, secondly, because the country nfe *»s a healthy life, and he wished to see the romdation restored to the land. It wan not true that all the tenants recently put on the I estate were Churchmen and Conservatives. The I majority were not. After Mr. Panr uat caane his colleague, th" C<m,«>ryutive candidate for Flint County, Colonel Howard, of Wigfaar. His evidence dipolosed a happv state of things for his tenniiis during tlie last 25 y ears. The owners of this e-.tate luid only received £ 43 out of every £ 100. He objected nltogether to a land oov.rt, and sug- gested a v-dnntary extension to Wales of tlie .\ah!jourro Act. He advised light railways to croKs mountain* on the fell grip system a. line from Mold to Ruthin ■would be but tiie Board ol Trade would have to 10.

ST. WINIFREDE S WELL, FURTHER ^STRANGE- CURES AT HOLYWELL. 1;' Daily, as quick as one'•contingent of pilgrims' leave Holywell, another succeeds them, with the result that the town is orowded;with visitors to an extent never before experienced. Hun- dreds come from long distances, and many are the striking instances of the oures reported to have resulted aiter a few iinmeraons. The applications for water from the well by people unable to go there, but who have heaird of it, are rapidly increasing, and the local tinsmiths are kept employed making great numbers of tin bottles for the conveyance of the water. By reason of the large number of persons who- attend the services at St. Wiirifnde's Churoh,, it is intended to immediately enlarge the exist- in, edifice by intana of a. lateral aisle. One of the remarkable cires much spoken of is that of Mrs. Bridget Harker, who has so far re- covered the use of her limbs as to leave" her crutches at the well- She purposes returning1 to Holywvell, and leaving the carriage in which she used to be wheeled about for the use of cripples. Another case is tliat of Walberga Sullivan, aged fourteen years, of 22, Albeort- road, Preston, who is now staying at the Hospice, New-road, Holy well- This girl, it is said, was born blind. She has been staying-in said, was born blind. She has been staying-in Holywell for about a fortnight, and bathing i the well. She is reported to be gradually gaining^ her sight, and to be now able to discern objeots. Whether she will obtain full anu permanent of her eyes remains to be seen- The Rev. Father Beauclerk, at one of the services thW week, said as to the charge that the belief in,, tlie health-giving properties of the well was/i, delusion, kept up for the base purpose of mafcihg' money, he challenged anyone to show tbaVany of the money so obtained was spent outside of Holywell. On the contrary, it all W"l)t to-give work to needy families, who v, e *o -engaged on the works which the generosity of -the pilgrim* made it possible for hirn to carry on fttr tke gs eater honot,r of St. Winifride.

AN EXCITING SCENE. LADY HORSEWHIPS A WOULD-BE THIEF. An exciting and somewhat remarkable scene was witnessed 011 Vauxiwll Bridge, i-iondou, on Thursday. A lady, sucomjsanied by a frfne. was driving a trap toward" the north side of the river, when she turned hurriedly round, and discovered that a. man. about thirty yenrs or age., had clim'»ed up behind, and was m the ;.01: of taking a, Gladstone bag and a numl>er of knick-knacks belonging to the driver's friend, who wan en route ior Victoria Station. The fair driver turned upon the would-be tluer, and applied the whip about his pers..n with sv.ch effect ihivt he leaped into the roadway, alij{litinjr upon his face, m lik-h was se ct eiy cut. He aas not, however, sufficiently if- jured to prevent him trying to »*oape, and although an eklerly gentler^un tried to stop him, the man succeeded in getting away.
