SOUTH WALES COAL TRADE
SOUTH WALES COAL TRADE THE DISPUTE AT TREHARRIS COL- I LIERY. NEARLY 2,000 MEN AFFECTED. The strike whfioii occurred at the Tre- hxnis Collieries, which are now owned by tiie Ocean Colliery Company, has resulted In close upon 2,000 being idle smce Tuesday. and there does not appear to be any imme. (iiaiC prospect of a settlement. Our "reporter had an lntwviaw on Friday with a prominent workman, and he explained that in the pMt, and up to a few months ago it was customary to measure the dead work in the level headings and in the Nottingham head- ings right to the face of coal, but the management recently resolved to introduce a new general system, and to make the measurements only to the fa.n of timbers, or cog. or WétJ. as the case might be, nearest to the face. This would, in many instances, entail a. considerable pecuniary loss to the men, because, when the headings finished two or three or five yards, there would be no necessity of clearing it up. because it terminated there. In those cases it was explained that the company would reap the benefit, and would not. according to the new system, pay what the workmen maintain they are entitled to. By introducing this new system the men would in many cases be deprived of the heading price for some be deprived of the heading price for some ¡ yardfs. Mr. William Evans, one of the agents to the Cambrian Miners' Association, with which the colliery is as<sociated, has interviewed Mr. Ray, the manager, upon the I question, and informed) him that the com- pany were breaking the custom, and that it was not right to do before first of all communicating or consulting with the work- men. It was. he contended, a clear breach of the slvdiug-scale agreement bv altering the system of measuring in this way. A ma*s meeting of the men was held on "Wednesday night, and ;t appears that a letter had been received from Mr. W. Jenkins, J.P., Ystrad- fecham, the general manager'of the Ocean Colliery Company, who suggested that the question and the method of measuring should be determined upon by a. committee of the men and' the management, and that, fai'.inj- a settlement in that wav, it should be re- ferred to the slidirig-soale committee. Mr. vV. Evans strongly advised the men to accept tne suggestion, as he firmly believed that the men would succeed in proving their case, for it could be proved beyond doubt that the company were initiating a new system of measuring. The men, however, unani- mously resolved to abstain from resuming work until the management allowed them to do so upon the old terms. A deadlock has. therefore, occurred, a.nd, after the men's deci- sion, the action of the company in the matter is being awaited with much interest. THE DISPUTE AT CELYNEN" COMAERIES. A maAg meeting of the Celyneii workmen wa" held in a field (kindly len* by Mr. Rocer Lewis) at Newbridge on Friday morning.

NOTES FROM THE METROPOLIS. tFM)1 CUB LONDON CORRNSPCNMNTS. j LONDON, FRIDAY. WELSH CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY. In one 01 the Committee-rooms of the House of Commons to-day there assembled Sir John T. D. Llewelyn, Sir John Jones Jenkins, Major Wyudham-Quin, General Laurie, Mr. P. Milbank. and Mr. Tudor Howell. The object uf the gathering was to consider what action the Unionist members for Waæs should take during the present Parliament. Mr. J. M. Maclean, Colonel the Hon. F. C. Morgan' I and Major Pryoe-Jones were, I understand, unable to be present. The meet- ing was of an informal character and lasted about an hour. It waa pointed out that those present were in no way anxious to create a section o-r to do anything to separate themselves from the general body of the Unionist party. AND ITS OBJECTS. Their sole object, now that Wales was represented by nine Unionist members, was to use their strength to the best interests of Wales, to be in a. position to reply with effect to any attacks which the Radicals of Wales might make, and, in addition, to promote the organisation of the party. The meeting was of a most harmonious diameter, and many matters were discussed which would aid. theiu in fulfilling the above in- tentions- No chairmen was appointed, in order to avoid the semblance of forming a. party, but Mr. Tudor Howell, member for the Denbigh District, was appointed convener of the meetings. The members present decided to in future sit together in the middle of the third bench beflow the gang- way. DB. TANNBR'S LITTLE AFFAIR. Dr. Tanner's outbreak last night, promptly repressed at the moment, has resulted in bis temporary a-bsenoe to-day. He is not per- mitted to enter the pivciucts of the House, as some of the papers state to-day On the contrary. he is warned off, and the police have been instructed by tiie Serjeant-at- Arms to-day not to allow him to enter the House. The -suspension is generally appro\ ed of- and the disapprobation of the hon. mem- ber's conduct by the Irish members is shown by the fact that there was no division ag&ixtst the suspension. It was rema.rked eurl^ in the evening by some who saw the turbu- lent mental condition of Dr. Tanner Uiat he would be suspended before the night was over. Yet he quietened down, and his final outbreak came on the House suddenly SUSPENSION APPROVED. Mr. Speaker acted: with promptness aoid dignity. But he made one slight slip when he ajmoui.etod "I suspend" the hon. member. As a matter of fact, only the House can suspend a member, a.nd the Speaker re- covered himself by putting the motion. It was fisteeJii-ed fortunate for the Unionist party that Dr Tanner waa suspended for insulting another Nationalist member-Mr. Tim Harrington, to wit. It was reported this afternoon that the suspended member was still in a condition of truculence, and intended to try and force his way into the House. If he ever entertained such a iuadl idea, he must have bean dissuaded from it by his friends. PROBABLE DATE OF THE ADJOURNMENT. In the interests of their well-earned holiday both members and journalists are eagerly discussing the probable duration of the session. There is no doubt the House will be u.p not Hater than September 7, while I have information this evening that it is quite possible my original anticipation of a three weeks' session may be fulfilled, and the House rise in a fortnight from now. MR. GULLY'S PKECEDENT. Mr. Speaker has earned the warmest praise for a new departure he made in the suspension of Dr. Tanner. For a long time the doctor bas been a source of annoyance to the House by his persistence in accompanying the speeches of hon. members opposite with a running tire of comments, usn&Jiy insultitig < and often personal. Such a breach of decorum j oa Dr. Tanner was guilty of has not been noticed unless some member brought it under the notice of the Speaker. Mr. GuHy, how- ever.. has; started a more excellent way. He Jppears to liave been keeping both an eye and eM on Dr. Tanner, and when he heard the rude remark, "It's a lie," uttered in a stage whisper, he instantly took notice of it. THE LABOUCHKBE-DILK-E FACTION, A sessional meeting of the Radical party, or, rather, that section of it which, takes Sir Ohafles Diika and Mr. Labouchere for its advisers, was held this evening. A com- mittee WM appointed, with Dr. Clark and Mr. Madwa as secretaries, but it is not in- tended to do anything else in the way of organisatinn this session. So few of this section of the Radical party are left that the meeting might well have been called to exchange condolences. In this might have been included Sir Donald M-acfarlane and Mr. Caine, two Radicals who, having lost their seats, ventured to visit the lobby this after- noon. Mr. Caine, you will remember, went into the general election with the chaste annountaement that he and his fellow Local Vetoiats intended to "fight like wild cats." GUT FAWKES REDIVIVUS. An alleged plot to blow up the two Houses of Parliament, boomed by some of the even- ing papers to-day, creates no alarm People who ought to know are laughing at the story and are protesting that to blow up the House in Turkish wiil not do much harm. The plot, you must know, is alleged to have been concocted in a Socialist journal printed in the Turkish language. QUESTIONS. Unusual interest was attached to the first badioh of questions in the present Parliament by raason of our being afforded the oppor- tunity of hearing how the new Ministers answer. Air Gerald Balfour, Mr. Hanbury, and Mr. Macartney all created a favourable impression. "Our Gerald," as some are beginning to call tiie Irish Secretary, is very patitscrt, insists on sticking to the point, and never once lost his temper during an exaspe- rating heckling in 'winch Mr. Roche indulged, and which was only put an end to by Mr. Speaker gentlv, but firmly, closing" the account. IVfr. Balfour had a string of questiois to answer, and! wa« in fine form. Perhaps, his best answer was when Mr. Gibson Bowies asked about the 60 directorships held by 24 members of the Government. CABINET AND COMPANY DIRECTORSHIPS "Majay of these had been resigned.' said Mr. Balfour, "and more would be given up." There was no mistake about the leader's statement nor his intention, and the Opposi- tion paid him the profound compliment of asking no further questions. Mr. Cliamber- lain answered the questions put to him admirably also. Mr. Gerald Balfour had consultations with his brother, and also with Mr Carson and Mr. John Atkinson, the Irish Attorney-General, but he takes care to let it be seen that he is exercising the powers of a responsible Minister. THE NEW G.W.R. CHAIRMAN. Viscount Emlyn, the new chairman of the Great Western Railway, is a worthy successor of Mr. Saunders. He presided yesterday, for the first time, over the one hundred and twentieth half-yea-Tly meeting, and showed a grasp of the matters atfectiug the huge under- taking which quite impressed those present. It wad a, little unfortunate that at his first appearance tie receipts of tiie company did not show a gratifying increase, but the commercial and agricultural depression which has prevailed all over the country had pre- wired the sitareboldera for this fact. Yiscmnt Emlyn was. however, able to refer with con- fidence to the future—the passenger receipts a fortnight ago had broken the record—and it needed not his assurance that in the troublous times through which rail- way companies are now passing the directors would exert themselves to the utmost. The Great Western Railway shareholders have always been most fortunate in their directo- rate and management.

INTERESTING SITTING OF THE COMMONS. THE DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS. MR. HEALY AND THE SPEAKER. I HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Friday. The Speaker took the chair at 3.5. Half a dozen members took the oath. Notice had been given of 42 questions. A CURIOUS ERROR. Sir T. ESMOLNOE (N., Kerry, W.) informed the House that, through a clerical error of the sheriff, the hon. member who had been elected ad member for South Monaghan (Mr. Ja.U\etI Daly* haj had his writ endorsed North Monaghan, and the member who had been elected its member for North Monaghan (Mr. D. Macaleese) had had his writ endorsed South Monaghan. (Laughter.) His hon. friends were present, and were pre- pared to give evidence as to the con- stituencies for which they were elected, He presumed it was necessary that this error in the return. should be corrected, a.ud he moved tha.t the Clerk of the Crown attend the House with the last return for County Mona- ulutn, and attend to the same. The two htm. members then rose in their places, and declared the constituencies for which they had ^The'MSAKER: Is there any od-. hon. member who can speak to these f ..cts of his own knowledge? Mr. MaLLOY (N., County); Yes, air: I can. The motion was then put and carried. The Clerk of the 0/own id varied to the table, and made •; necessary alteration in the return. CANADIAN CATTLE. Mr. PP J v"E (C.. Devomport) asked the Pre- sident .1 the 'Board of Agriculture if he was awf,re that the present exclusion of Canadian s^ore cattle w-as oausing severe loss in Bome of our agricultural districts, and if he could see his way ;to removing the restriction. Mr. WALTER "LONG (President of the Board of Agriculture) said in the interest* of agriculture generally it was necessary that cvervi pc«»ibfe safeguard should be taken asra-inst the ''introduction! of disease. So recently » the 10th of last month two animals landed in this country from Canada were found to be affected with pleuro-pneuimbnia. In view of this fact he had no alternative but t-o maintain in force tbe requirement that Canadian cattle should be slaughtered at the point of landing. (Hear, hear.) SLAVERY. Mr. CURZON (the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs), 'in reply to Mr. Joseph A. Pease (L .Durham), said the question of slavery in the islands of Peanba jand Zanzibar was receiving the closest attention of her Majesty's Government. It Hvould be impos- sible aind impracticable to take steps for the total abolition of slavery in the immense reedcoos of Eastern, Western, and Central Africa. Enei^etio steps were being taken in those district*), however, to extinguish slave- raiding, and check the abuses to which they gave risa
THE CHINESE MISSIONARY MASSACRES.
THE CHINESE MISSIONARY MASSACRES. Mr. CARSON (U., Dublin University) asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it was intended to demand from the Chinese Government compensation for the family of the Rev. Mr. Stewart, mur- dered in the recent massacre in China. Mr. CURZON said tha.t in the opinion of the Government it would not be advisable to raise the question of money compensation to the families of the murdered persons until after the punishment of the individuals implicated in the recent massacre, which they regarded ws an object of primary importance. PERNICIOUS LITERATURE. Sir MATTHEW W. RIDLEY (Home Secre. tary), in reply to a question, said under the existing law no m4u.b. existed of 5toT)ping the circulation of oheap juvenile literature of a de- moralising character, unless it were of an obscene I or blasphemous character. The difficulties of legislating with respect to this matter had1 been regarded as almost prohibitive. THE UNEMPLOYED COMMITTEE. Mr. BALFOUR (First Lord of the Treasury) informed Mr. Pickeregill (L., Bethnal Green) that it would be impossible for the Government to legislate thiej session in favour of the recom- mendations of the Select Committee on Distress from Want of Employment. The matter would have the careful consideration of the Govern- ment during the recess. MtINISTERS AS OOMPANfY DIRECTORS. STATEMENT BY MR. BALFOUR. Mr. GIBSON BOWLES (U., Kind's Lynn), who was received with Opposition cheers, asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the attention of her Majesty's Government had been given to the fact that 2A members of the present Administration nold between them vv directorship and trusteeships of public com- panies, and whether the Government rrnTx>se<3 to call oil these 24 members of the Administra- tion to resign tho directorship* in question. Mr. BALFOUR said no invariable rule nad been, or, he thought, oou'd be, iaid down on the subject. Two main principles, however, had been laid down- They were—that no ¡ member of the Government could enter iuto any engagement which occupied his publio time, I and no member of the Government could under- take any responsibility in connection with a publio company which could be supposed to influence his polioy or ui^iinish his usefulness as a member of the Cabinet or Minister of a. department. He understood that of the directorships refer-red to H. large number had been and more were aibout to be, resigned by the holders. (Hear, hear.) THE AGED POOR. Mr. BALFOUR, in answer to a question by Mr. Ohanning (U., Lambeth), said a. further in- vestigation into the various schemes and pro- posals for making provioious for the aged poor would be undertaken by the Government as soon as possible. THE LAW-OFFICERS. Mr. DALZIEL (L., Argyllshire) asked the Secretary io the Treasury whether the present Attorney-General had accepted the conditions with regard to private practice which were observed by his predecessors in office, and if any departure had been made from those condi- tions. Mr DARLING (U, Deptford) asked whether the terms on which the present Attorney- General held office had also been accepted bv the present Solicitor-General, aDd, if that was w, how it happened that that learned gentle- ma.n appeared against the Crown at the Old Bailey. (Laughter.) Mr. HANBURY (Secretary to the Treasury) said there was no departure whatever from tie recent regulations, which were, therefore, bind- I ing upon both law officers. The Treasury I minute to the whoJt" question would be laid upon the table at tho earliest possible moment. Mr LABOLCHERE (L., Northampton): Who are the law officers? ("Hear, hear." and iaufirhter.) Mr. HANBURY: I believe that the lute Solicitor-General remains in office until his successor is appointed. (Laughter.) IRISH BILL. A Bill to AmeTid the Municipal Franchise in, Ireland was introduced Arid read a first time, the second reading being fixed for Monday next.
THE ADDRESS
THE ADDRESS RESUMPTION OF THE DEBATE. 1 he adjourned debate on Mr. Dillon's amend- ment to the amendment moved by Mr. John R«3inond, to tiie Address in answer to the Queen's Speech, wat resumed. Mr. LOUGH (U., Islington, W.) held that the moral to be drawn from the elections was that the Irish causo waa stronger and clearer than ever it Waa befora, a.nd he recognised with gratitude the sympathy the Leader of the Houee a.nd the Chief Secretary had shown with the poverty of Ireland He believed that poverty lay at the root of the Irish question. Ireland was the poorest country in the world, while England was one of tho richest, and was never more prosperous than a.t present. If the relations between the Irish farmers and their landlords, and between them and their Government, were placed upon a satisfactory footing, their condition would be happy and prosperous. SIr A. ROLLTT (U. Islington, S.): In the C&.t40 of both amendment* he found a great deal with which he sympathised, and he ear- nestly hoped that something might be lone for the evicted ienan's. He was happy to say that there were r .any indications of im- provement in the material and economical con- dition of Ireland. Mr. SWIFT M'NEILL (N.. Donegal) said that it was very refreshing to listen to such a speech as that just delivered. He trusted thai some l1.ember of the Government would endorse the wentimen's Which it ex- p-i e*sad. Sinue the vuit of:th. First Lord of the Treasury to the congested districts he had shown a most kindly and sympathetic spir.'t towards the poor inhabitants of those dis- tnets, and it was to be hopecl that he would now use the power he possessed to do something for the development of the resources of Ire- land. Tne Nationalist party, w. they adhered tinnlv to Home Rule. would facilitated every endeavour which the Government might make to improve the material condition of tho Irish people. Mr. J. A. PEASE (L., Durham) joined in the desire expressed by previous members that the Government would even in this short ses- sion introduce* a. Bill of a non-controversial cha- racter, to remove admitted injustice connected with the existing land system of Ireland. Mr. FIELD (P.. Dublin, St. Patrick) as an Irkh Home Ruler, Oenied that the Liberals fought the last election upon the quesi.1011 of Home Rule at all. If the Liberals had taken the advioe of tIw rish Nationalists and appealed to the ol Great uritain when the Home Kttle Bill >vu-s thrown out by the House of Lords they would not be now the miseraole remn-ant of what w; once a great IXEty. (Laughter and "He^tr, hear.") My-. T. M. HEALY (A., Louth, N.) did not Consider that the programme put forward by the Chief Secretary foreshadowed a attrac- tive policy. He sympathised with the t;;1j Unionist Government in trying to re- -ueile the divergent opinions of its different members on the Irish iand question, and could understood their desire for more time. It was unfair to the Tory and Unionist parties that -V ^houjd have been called .raon to lie down together before they were acquainted with, the size of the fold. (Laugnter.) In order J afford an excuse for i,ot i -roeeediuu- v/iif the legislation, Mr. Juance Bewlev to" been be. I trayed into a false position. 4iid the Govern- ment had taken a course which would render the Land Commissi- II s.tTll mort) distrusted. Mr. Justice Bewl-j undertook, before hearing counsel and so"¡tor; to defer his judgment in order to su.t the exigencies of a party- pro. gramm<\ and he was prepared, ;n ms private chamber, without hearj ig ji.in.sel or solicitors. to fix rents under law not yet passed. What businessWd the Chief Secretary to consult- Mr. J!j.<t;Cf Bewlev at all ? (Nationalist eheere.) What. en- couragement was this to suitors to evoeet jus- tice from that jud>rE'? The SPEAKER The hon. member is now attacking Mr. Justice Rewley with respeo^ 'o his conduct in court, and is attributing to'him improper action m regard to suitors in his court tha,t he is not entitled to do. (Cheers.) rn» hon. member was repeated!v (tilkd tn order for criticising the judge, and concluded bv saving thev were entitled to some bettor »\- Dianation than they had of the decision at which the Government had armed. The ATTORNEY-GENFRAL for IRE- 'LAAiD contended that the interests of the Irish tenants would not be Prejudicially effected by the post- ponement of legislation on the Irish Land Law until the next session of Pi»rli&mc>nt Mr Sergeant HEMPHILL said that be felt bound to vote for 11 re amendment of the honourable member for East Mayo. The House then divide on the amendment moved by Mr. Dillon to the amendmemt moved by "r. John Redmond. Thjre were far Mr. Dillories amendment.— FAR the AMENDMENT 123 AGAINST. 257 Majority. 134 The amendment of Mr. Dillon was, there fore, negatived. The House then divided on the amendment of Mr. Redmond when there were: — FOR THE AMENDMENT 113 AGAINST 243 Majority AGAINST 130 Mr. CLANCY (P., Dublin., N.) moved the addition to the Address of the words, "and we humbly represent to your Majesty that the time has come when the cases of all prisoners convicted under the Treason Felony Act, who are and ha.vo been for many years undergoing punishment for offences arising out of insurrec- tionary movements connected with Ireland, may be advantageously reconsidered." The HOME SECRETARY, in replying, said the present Government-, whilst willing to oor.sider the oases, did not intend to deviate from the continuity of aotibn, and ill tiii4 matter entirely agreed with the action of the previous Government. Mr. REDMOND and one or two other Irish menders, expresistd gratification at the tone of the Home Secretary's speech. Mr. BALFOUR said the Home Secretary would be prepared to receive any communica- tions which would enable him to form a judg- ment on the subject Hi« object in rising was to correal a mL^pprehensMMi which some words of the last speaker led him to suppose might be entertained with regard to the statement of the Home Secretary. He was not. prepared to apply to those cases principles different from those ywhich were invariaibly applied to the cases of criminals under long sentences. The rigid and invariable rules always applied to all other cases would be applied to thefce special oases, and principles oi hunnaaiity and publio policy would f>e applied as much a. and much more than, they were applied in those other cases. (Hear, h*ai.) The principles adopted by the late Home Secretary were those which would he adapted aiid carried through by the presect Home Secretary. It would be a profound mistake for any party to suppose for a moment that there waa in this matter the eLightest discontinuity of policy bet\yeegi the late Government and the present Ot:oupantq of the Treasury Bench. (Cheers.) Mr. ASQUITR (L., Fife, E.) lis- 'on tened with great satisfaction to the language of the First. Lord of the Treasury. In all matters of this kind it was most important to preserve administrative continuity, and he did not think there was the slightest difference between thr,, two sides of the House as to the principles r-hac ought to govern the Home Secretary m such cases. He had not distinguished in the slightest degree these crimes from others. He always treated them on tho same footing as all ordinary eases when all ajjpeal was made to the Home Secretary for leniency of treat- ment. The House should dearly understand that in cesos of this kind the Home Secretary musit proceed upon tiie univta-sal and indexible principles which were applied to all cases of criminals under long sentences. (Hear, hear.) After a. few furthen remarks the amendment waa withdrawn. AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION. Mr. PRICE (C.. Devonport) moved as an amendment to Ithe Addre(3H tha addition of these words:—"But this House begs humbly to draw the attention of your Majesty to the existing widespread depre-sion in agriculture, and eubinite that it would be expedient to pass remedial measures during the present year." After a brief discussion the debate was ad- journed. The House adjourned until Monday-
THE BRUSSELS TRAGEDY.
THE BRUSSELS TRAGEDY. AN INEXPLICABLE MYSTERY. The Press Association states that the follow- ing further information has been given by Chief-constable Ware, of Lynn, with reference to the death of Madame Bockel and her two children near Brussels, where he has been mik- ing inquiries. He state. that the bodies when recovered were in a badly decomposed state. At. the mortuary the village school mistress examined the bodies of the deceased woman and her daughter, and was able to positively state that the clothing of neither had been dis- arranged or interfered with. Mr. Ware found tha.t there was no foundation for any of the explanations put forward for the deceased's visit to Belgium, tho visit and its result being altogether a melancholy surprise to her friends. Betorw leaving the Hotel dp la. Marine on the eventful day Madame Bockel placed an old empty purse, her gold wat* h, and a leather wristlet, which it was her invariable practice to wear, in a. drawer in her bedroom. At the same time there is every reason to believe that she had in her possession 25 City of Antwerp Cor- poration. Bonds, and also jM or JSIO in gold in a. hand-bag. which has not been found. The inference is that the weight of the hand-bag caused it to sink when the parties enteral the wa,ter- No explanation which is likely to have led to the discovery of the cause of the deaths could be found in the search at the hotel, and it is a remarkable fact that, although well known, in Brussels, the deceased was not seen by any of her friends after her arrival or during her walk from Brussels along the canal bank to Wilrebroeck. There is no evidence that the parties were robbed, and the people walking in the vicinity heard no cries for help. Regarding her financial position, it would ap- pear that the deceased's resources were at a very low ebb.

The Press Association Woolwich corre- spondent states tivat, in accordanoe with an order from the War Office, tliere has beea a general stocktaking at all the Government factories and' stores where gunpowder, ammunition, and corditc are stored. Reports giving the quantity in store have been sent to the War Office, and have, it is stated, been found to be abnormally low.

THE CEREMONY AT LLANDAFF CATHEDRA!*
THE CEREMONY AT LLAN- DAFF CATHEDRA!* DEPOSITING THE CRIMEAN COLOURS. A GREAT MILITARY SPECTACLE The scene at Llandaff Cathedral, where the Orirnœn colours of the regiment were deposited, wa. a Historical one, and will be remembered bv those who witnessed it as long as they live. Such ceremonies as that of Friday only take Place once ,n a lifetime, and it was, therefore, not astonishing to find thousands of people crowding into Llandaff for hours before the regiment was exjiected to arrive in the small, but ancient, city. Llandaff had been gaily d .orated in honour of the important occasion. Flags were flying from nearly every window, and the inhabitants and visitors were on the tip-toe of excitement. A notable feature about the decorations was an elaborate cetcra- tive^douhV C.H roiraning across the road from the "Vorkkiig Men.FE Club and Institute and the Minor Oanonry. On one side of the arch (whioh was bedecked with evergreens and flags) WAS the word Welcome," and on the other "Croesaw." the Welsh synonym. When the regiment passed laurel leaves (emblematical of glory) were scattered before the soldiers by little girls, who occupied a position on u. platform surmounting the arch. For a long time tefore the regiment appeared in sight -the streets of Llandaff were crowded with people, and the precincts of thr. eatheond were also the scene of great anima- tion, the approaches boing alive with sight- seers of both sexes. For some hours before the ceremony the cathedral bells were set a- chiming, and as early AS three o'clock those who had been fortunate enough to secure tickets admitting them to the interior cf the sacred pile took possession of their seats. During the long wait, however, the cathedral organist, G- Boaie, Mus.Bac. and F.R C 0 piayed marches by Silas, Stainer, and Gui'L- ment in his usual skilful manner. As time wmt on the cathedral began to be filled with Clergymen, officers of the regiment, and Volun- teer forces, and civilians. Among the cleigy- mtn (present were the Ven.

PRIZE FIGIIT AT CARDIFF
PRIZE FIGIIT AT CARDIFF THIRTEEN ROUNDS GHT. VICTORY OF A TREFOREST MAN. The patrons oi the prize-ring in Cardiff A-ND t.JT vicinity have of late B^EN treated to a number of little siporting affairs, the ongjiiators of which have been eucoessful in 1:.11dlIl\ the viligance of the police. These exhibitions of the fistic art, however, have been of minor hnpottance to the fight which, on f riday morning, took place on the Heath I Estate. Tiie oombatantR were Charley Palmer, of Treiotest. and E. Morris, of Blaina, who were evenly mat-ched as regards I height and weight, both turning the scale a.t about 9st. 61b. a.nd occupying space to the tune-of 5ft. 7in. Morris possesses the reputa- tion of being a good plucked 'un, and he is also accredited with being a very sin ai t exponent of the game. These statements I have tacts to back them up, as Morris is no novice, for he has. already been victorious in three tights, about his best achievement being that of lowering the colours of George lies, of Kingswood, Gk>ueestershire. Palmer, on tiie other hand, although admitting that he knows how to use 'em. hais, never fought for money. Hi.s party, however, were evidently of opinion that the other side had got no soft snap, and planked down the money to the extent of £25, the match being for a purse of £ 50. Originally, it w;*s intended that the match should come off on a little planta- tion between Birch Grove and Llanishen. but owing to «oine disquieting runwouns which reached the ears of the principals to the effect that a hostile faction had lodged a coupie of dog* possessed of big jaws, a,nd as big a reputation for using them, in the Barrack Field1 for the purpose of spoiling the sport, the venue was changed to a nice, quiet spot near the Monarchy Lock. Here the fight, which w.as with the bare knuckles and to a tinish, was carried on without let or hindrance. Betting at the start, which waa witnessed by a fair ring, wa.s slightly in favour of Morris, who commenced in a manner which showed that he rather underprized his opponent's abilities. Palmer played a wait- ing game, and to such good purpose, too, that Morris seemed, besides getting a bit tired, also to be losing patience. This proved to be the case, for after the first- ten rounds, the majority of which were in favour of the novice. Pahner, went for his man in fine style. and the thirteenth round saw him hit Morris a. btow from the effects, of which the latter failed to rise at the cali of time, and the purse, accordingly, fell to the Tie-forest pugilist- A number of good judges who watched the encounter were loud in their praises of the winner, who. all admitted, has, if properly trained', w brilliant future before him in the prize-ring. o.
THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE…
THE MYSTERIOUS DISAP- PEARANCE AT DOWLAIS. RECOVERY OF THE WOMAN'S BODY FROM A POND. After beitin in the water for nearly 50 hours, the body of the unfortunate woman, Trvphena Evans, Dowlais, wss recovered from the big pond shortly before six o'clock on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Evans, as has been already stated, was tho wife of Mr. William Evans, a. compositor eniplcyed in the service of Mr. Ed. Cartwright. High-street. After the birth of a second child, about six months ago, the woman was noticed to be at time*; strange in her con- duct. Thei husband engagod a girl to be a com- panion to the woman. On Tuesday Mr. Evans, after getting dinner, returned to work about two o'clock, leaving his wife in appa- rently the best of health. About an hour later the unhappy woman, informed the girl that she was going to take a short walk. Nobody seeing to have noted the way she took, but several pur- sons residing at Pant saw later in the afternoon a figure c)ad in female at tiro w.i Iking back- ward and forward on the bank of the big pond between Ptnywern and Pengarnddu- A woman named Harris, residing in Penygam.ddu, W9.<¡ in the vicinity of the pond, when she saw a woman take a, running leap into the water and disappear. The woman, prior to taking the fatal leap, left her hat and umbrella on the bank, and these were afterwards identified by Mr. Evans. The police were informed of the tragedy, and searched the pond without avail. A diver, named Kinding, from Cardiff, was en- gaged to explore thø bottom oi the pond, and on Thursday afternoon he walked into the water carrying a coil of stout rope. He re-appeared in about twenty minutes, and the crowd on the banks of the pond were much disappointed to see him return tilone from the depths. But tho policeman began to tug at the rope, and a few minutes later the body of the unfortunate woman wa3 dragged to the surface, placed on a stretcher, and carried to the residence of the husband in Alma-street, thousands of people accompanying the bearers.
