Liberal Federation. BREEZY MEETING AT DERBY. War Policy Criticised. DISORDERLY PROCEEDINGS. A special meeting of the general committee of the National Liberal Federation was held on Wednesday afternoon in the Athenseum- rooms, Derby, to consider the situation in South Africa. The large building was thronged. Mr. Edward Evans, jun. (chairman of the committ-ae), presided, supported, amongst others, by Mr. R. Bird (Cardiff), Mr. W. Howell Davies. Mr. J. Bryn Roberts, M.P., Mr. Lloyd-George, M.P., and Mr, A. C. Humphreys-Owen, M.P. Mr. Augustine Birrell, K.C., moved the fol- lowing"That this general committee of the National Liberal Federation, whilst recog- nising the grave differences within the Liberal party with respect to the earlier stages of the South African War, declares that the time has now arrived when the nation should be acquainted with the actual terms upon which the Government are prepared to conclude an honourable peace, and calls upon all members of the Liberal party to unite in demanding that his Majesty's Government should state openly and definitely both to the people of this country and to the inhabitants of the Transvaal and Orange River Colonies what these terms are. "This committee views with grave misgiving the suspension of constitutional government and the extension of martial law to those parts of Cape Colony where the jurisdiction of the civil courts could properly have been maintained, and sees in the recent decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the Maraie appeal case the most serious menace to the liberties of British subjects; and, finally, "This committee declares its unabated con- fidence in Sii Henry Campbell-Bannerman as leader of the Liberal party in the House of Commons." (Cheers.) Alderman Ann (Derby) seconded. Mr. Harris Sanders (Chertsey Division Liberal Association) moved the insertion of a para- graph sent up by his own associa- tion. The paragraph was in these words: — "It considers that the deplorable condition of affairs, steadily growing worse, necessitates the definite and immediate offer of a general amnesty, together ^vith the offer of Colonial self-government as enjoyed by Canada and Australia, to thos: in arms against us, as the anly practicable solution of the present dis- tress and difficulty, such constitution to be established within a fixed and early period." {' No, no.") Mr. Lloyd-George, M.P., was greeted with cheers, and a welcome in Gaelic from one of the delegates on the floor of the hall amidst laughter, and shouts of "Trflnslate," "Trans- late." The hon. member expressed general concurrence in what had fallen from "tr. Birrell. He had strong views about the war, and the resolutions to be submitted would not fully express his views. He would add a few adjectives, especially where the name of Mr. Chamberlain came in—'laughter) but it was worth sacrificing something for unity. What they wanted was men who had set their faces towards peace. (Hear, hear.) When they had cleared out this lot—(laughter! bag and bag- gage lock, stock, and barrel, and put in a Ministry of conciliation peace would be estab- lished from that moment. (Applause.) They wanted someone sent out there, just as a former Lord Durham was sent our to Canada. They did not wish to discuss fifteen amendments en the agenda-paper, and his suggestion was that a general com- mittee should not elaborate terms. The first thing was to declare in favour of nego- tiation, to send out a man in the spirit of con- ciliation. and then there would be a prospect of putting an end to the horrible tragedy now being enacted in South Africa. He sug- gested a withdrawal of the amendments yet remaining to be moved, with the exception of certain words in an amendment brought up from the Bracebridge (Lincoln) Liberal Asso- ciation. as follows -.— 'Negotiations should be entered ur.nn with a vie1. to the conclusion of an honourable and durable peace, and that for that purpose it is essential that a special Commissioner should be despatched to South Africa." The final pamgraph of the resolu- tion read, "and, finally. this committee declares it§ unabated confidence in Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman as leader of the Liberal party in the House of Commons, for he sug- gested they should leave out the words lóin the House of Commons." 'Loud cheers.) There was something at stake even more than the existence of the Empire, and that was British Liberalism, which had given distinction to the Empire. Mr. Sanders (Chertsey), with the consent of his seconder, and in answer to Mr. Lloyd- George's appeal, withdrew his amendment. Other amendments on the paper were in like ma imer removed without discussion. Mr R C Lehmann moved the incorpora- tion into tie resolution of the Bracebridge amendment as suggested by Mr. Lloyd-George. Mr. Wallace Carter (Bracebridge Liberal Association), having drafted the Brace- bridge amendment, seconded the motion. His association took the view that if peace was to be made they must send out a man who would be likely to make it. Such a man as Lord Rosebery could arrange terms, (" No.") Mr Emmott. M.P. (Oldham), said that unless they were tremendously misinformed there v-c negotiations in August to this year. They knew nothing whatever about those negotia- t\ons (" We ought to.") The country ought to know. (Hear, hear.) He would not feel instilled in going away from that meeting without saying that he much preferred the altered form of the resolution of the execu- tive committee, as proposed by Mr. Birreil (H Hear, hear." No, no," and shouts of I. Order,") Mr. Lloyd-George had said that nothing could be done until the present Government was turned out, but if the Govern- ment gained in office for the next five years were they to understand that the war was going on for all that time? (A Voice: It wilL") They had made it clear that the Liberal party as a whole was in of annexation. ("No. no. ^es O.de., "Vote" interruption, and general uproar.) Mr Emmott: I repeat that we have made it clear that the Liberal party, as a whole, is in favour of annexation. There is no ques- l tion about it. ("Yes," and renewed disorder.) Xo responsible leader of the. Liberal party has ever said one word against the an- nexation. I will accept no such amend- ment as this if it is meant as a vote of censure upon Lord Milner. (Hissing and booing.) The disorder at this point became so per- sistent that the hon member stood in his place on the platform with his hands thrust into his pockets, surveying the scene, but wholly unable to make his voice heard above tl5The Chairman: I must aga.n appeal for order.

Mr. Alphaeas Cleophas Morton: Before the intendment is put as the substantive resolu- iion. I move that those words be omitted. The Chairman: After consultation with my olleagues I rule that proposal to omit "in the Souse of Commons is out of order. The original resolution as amended then iccame the substantive motion, and with one lissentient was carried amidst cheers in the loll owing form:—"That this general com- nittee of the National Liberal Federation, chilst recognising the grave differences with in jhe Liberal party with respect to the earlier itages of the South African war, declares that he time has now arrived when negotiations should be entered upon with a view to the conclusion of an honourable and duraBle peace, and that for that purpose it is essen- tial that a Special Commissioner should be despatched to South Africa.

Dance of Death.
Dance of Death. REMARKABLE STORY OF RELIGIOUS MANIA. Brethren of the Lord." Some years ago. when the story reached Western Europe of the sect at Tiraspol, in Russia, who buried their relatives alive, an outcry oxf horror arose. Now. two hours' journey from Berlin, a caae is reported which is harly less astounding. At the village of aDtten, near Forst, in the Lauzitz. therc is a sect calling themselves Brethren of the Lord, who regard the Second Coming of Christ as immediately impending The chief of the sect is a peasant named Kaschke, who with his wife, his daughter, one of his sons and some other persons, altogether numbering about twenty soula, are in the habit of practising fanatical rites. Last week the clock in their house stopped, and this wa.s regarded as a sign that the Last Day was impending. Prom that time-that is to say, for a week-the peasant, his family, a.nd three other married women fainted. Suddenly, in the eveninc, a fearful tumult was heard proceeding from the dark parlour. and out of curiosity a. orowd of persons of both sexes hurried in the direction of the bouse. By the light of a lantern they saw the daughter, the son, and another girl, com- pletely nude, holding each other, and dancing in the village street in front of the yard gate. They were singing hymns and shouting and leaping with joy. The peasant himself and the four women were dancing about in the house in the same state. The Burgomaster entered the yard with the intention of pit- ting a. stop to the- orgie. but lis was driven off with clubs, and the whole party then started to go through the village as they were. When the indignant villagers energetically protested, they replied, "We are flying upwards, we wear trailing robes of clouds and mist." The lunatics then attacked the villagers, and tricd to drag them into the farmyard. "You aJso must be angels," they cried. Finally says the "Daily News" correspon- dent) the burgoma.ster got together a number of men in front of the house, and when the fanatics again attempted to leave they were received with a deluge of icy water which had been held in readiness in buckets. This reli- gious madness has already claimed one victim. On the place being entered the peasant's wife was found lying dead on the floor in her chemise. The other inmates lay around her gazing at the corpse. Everybody in the village was convinced that the unhappy woman had been killed, and the members of her family did not deny it. When the doctor asked her daughter. "What have you done to your good mother?" she answered, "The Devil did it; but mother will soon wake up again. She is' smiling already." The son, on being asked why he had killed his mother, replied "Mother wa« possessed of the Devil, and to drive out the Devil blood must flow. Without shedding blood is no remisssiom Without remission, no bliss. God called us. Now the Devil has gone from us. We have atoned, and are now going to Heaven." The whole party was at last bound and taken off to the lunatic asylum.
"SWAMI " ANO HER CAT.
"SWAMI ANO HER CAT. Request to the Governor of Holloway Prison. The Governor of Holloway Prison. Colonel Milman, has been the reciepient of a curious request from Laura Jackson, otherwise "Swami," known so prominently in connection with what is known as he Horos case, to the effect that. if the prison regulatione would admit of it, she would be very glad to have her cat. with her. If, however, it is aga: jst the prison regula- tions, then she asks tha- she may be informed as to how it is getting (<;i and what it is being fed on. It will be i.;membered that the "Swami" said that the cat was saved at sea by a sailor from drowning, and that she prized it exceedingly.

ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS.
ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS. It appears from a return issued by the Board of Trade that during the six months ended June last 534 persons vere killed and 3.072 injured on the railways of the United King- dom. These figures shew a decrease of 79 killed and 553 injured when compared with the corresponding period of 1900. No passen- gers were killed from accidents to trains, roll- ing stock, permanent way, &c., but 172 were injured. By accidents from other causes 55 passengers were killed and 674 injured. During the six months 225 servants of companies or contractors were killed and 2,065 injured, while no less than 207 trespassers (including suicides) were killed, R,Jd 83 injured.

Welsh Rugby Union.
Welsh Rugby Union. COMPULSORY FIXTURES. Proposed Important Bye-Law. At the meeting of the Glamorgan League on Tuesday next Mr. Ack Llewellyn, W.F.U., will. move that the following bye-law be adopted for submission to the Welsh Football Union:- ihat it be compulsory on every club affiliated to this Union (with the exception of the London Welsh Football Club and the clubs in the west of Llanelly district) to arraiis'e for every season (after the season 1902-S*>03) homo and home first team fixtures with at least eignt other Union clubs. Tile name of any club wilfully neglecting or refusing to comply with this bye-law shaii be struck off the Union list. The secretary of the club shall on or beiore the 1st of September in every year furnish the secretary of the Union with a list of the matches arranged with other Union clubs for the then ensuing season. Most people will agree (writes "Forward") with the principle involved in Mr. Llewellyn's resolution, but opinion will be divided on the point of whether the measures he would have adopted are not too drastic. The repre- sentatives of the leading clnbs-Cudiff. Swan- sea, Newport, and Llinelly-will probably claim the right for those clubs to decide what fixtures they shall arrange. This season, as I have once before pointed out. Newport have only three Welsh teams on their fixture list, and Cardiff have but one more. Club com- mittees are influenced almost entirely in arranging their fixture lists by the financial aspect of the matter. Some matches are infi- niteiy more attractive than others, and Mam- mon is a big power in Welsii football in these days. Cardiff, for instance, are not likely to be so self-denying even in the interests of sport to ltn.ook off Blackheath and Bristol, for instance, to make room for a couple of Rhonrtda clubs. Still, the principle enun- ciated by Mr. LJeweilyn is a sound one, and the weaker clubs have a strong claim for sup- port from the stronger organisations. It is only by more frequent contact with the crack teams that those now low down on the ladder can possibly come on." Seeing that the smaller clubs have a majority of representa- tives on the Welsh Union, and assuming that Mr. Llewellyn's resolution will be adapted for recommendation, by the Glamorgan League, the chances are that it will be accepted—pos- sibly in an amended form—by the Welsh Union. Then the fun will begin.
WELSH FOOTBALL UNION.
WELSH FOOTBALL UNION. OFFENDING CLUBS AND PLAYERS. BIG BUNCH OF SUSPENSIONS. A meeting of the Welsh Football Union was held at the Queen's Hotel, Cardiff, on Wednes- day evening-, Mr. H. S. Lyne in the chair. The following is the official report supplied by the secretary, Mr. Walter nees;- T. Burrows, of Gloucester, reported -Kirby, of Penai-th, for misconduct in the Penarth and Bath match.—It was resolved that Kirby be suspended for three weeks. Mr. Burrows also complained of the general conduct of the Penarth players, and the secretary was instructed to write to the Penarth Club asking for an explanation. I Tondu v. Maesteg.—Mr. Vauglian Reynolds, who refereed in this match, reported Harry Jones. ondu, for misconduct.—Suspended for a fortnight. The same referee also complained of a player, whose name ha was afterwards told was Jacob Thomas, insulting him on leaving the ground.—The secretary was instructed to ask the referee and Jacob Thomas to attend the next meeting. Penarth v. Maesteg.—Mr. W. M. Tonley, of Cardiff, reported Beynop, of Maesteg, for im- proper behaviour—Suspended for a fortnight. Bridgend v. Pontypridd.—Mr. Tom England reported a. piayer named Bryant, of Ponty- pridd.— Snsjiended for a fori night. Maesteg v. Aberavon.—Mr. Edgar Johns reported Vickery, 01 Aberavon, and J. Red- man, 14aesteg, and both players were ordered to take a re3t for a fortnight. The transfer of Willie Arnold, from Neath to Llanelly, was the next matter. In this case the Neath Club refused Arnold's transfer, and on Friday night last the Llanelly Club's secre- tary communicated with Mr. Walter Rees. and after getting into touch with the Neath Club he (Mr. Rees) wired to Llanelly stating that the application for the transfer would be dealt with by the Union at Wednesday evening's meeting, and [;lat in the meantime Arnold must not play for Llanelly. In the face of this, however, Llanelly played Arnold in their three-Quarter line against Cardiff. After full consideration of the: matter the Welsh Union Committee decided that Arnold's trans- fer be granted, but that he be suspended for one week for having played without his trans- fer. Also, that the Llanelly Club be repri- manded for playing Arnold without the trans- fer notwithstanding the union secretary's protest. Further, that the Neath Club be reprimanded for withholding Arnold's trans- fer without having any reason for doing so. The transfer of a play.i- named Johns from Treorky to Treherbcrt whs held over. The usual grant of £ 50 was made to the London Welsh Club. There are 30 entries for the junior cup com- petition, particulars of which have been pre- viously given in detail, :^nd the arrangements were placed in the hann-s of the match com- mittee. The preliminary ties and semi-finals are to be played, off on or before March 29, and the final on April 5, 1902. It has not yet been dcidedwhen the com- mittee will select the Welsh team to play Eng- land at Blackheatb, but *,hey will fix the night of selection either on Saturday evening next, ¡ after the trial match at Treherbert, or on Wed- nesday evening next, when a meeting of the union committee will be held. The following are the arrangements for next Saturday's trial match Swansea players will travel by train leaving Rhondda and Swansea Bay Station at 11.35 a.m. Tickets will be taken bv Mr. F. E. Perkins. Cardiff and Newport players will leave Taff Vale Railway Station, Cardiff, at one p.m. Tickets will be taken by Mr. W. M. Douglas. Headquarters, Castle Hotel, Treherbert. Luncheon will be provided at 1.15 for those who require it. Kick-off at 2.45 p.m. Tea at 4.45 p.m. The Small Heath Mystery Solved The Small Heath mystery has been solved by the discovery of the whereabouts of Leonard, the missing footballer. As announced in our columns, he left under sensational and mysterious circumstances, and it wae thought from a telegram received that lie had returned to Balfast, where he ha, been playing as a member of the Glentoran Club for the last- three or four seasons. Information which reached the Small Heath Club on Monday, however, prompted a visit to Leicester, where Mr. Alfred Jones, the Sniall Heath secretary, discovered the missing rlayer. It transpires that the statement made by the Leicester Fosse officials that Leonard was identical with the Bamford who played for them several seasons ago is correct His name is Arthur Leonard Bamford, and or leaving this country for Ireland be dropped tV 3 name of Bamford. Mr. Jones has reported he result of his visit to Leicester to his directors.. but no definite action has yet been deeded upon. London Welsh F.O. Meeting A special meeting of th? above club was held at headquarters. White Horse, Holborn. There was a large attendance of members, presided over by Mr. Gom Simon, r„nd supported by Dr. W. Llewellyn Davies (hon. secretary), Dr. H. M. Jordan, Dr. T. J. Pryce-.Tonkins, Dr. T. Jones, Captain J. C. Jenkins (South Wales Borderers, Alderfhot), Ac. The chicf business was the passing of the income an:; expenditure account for the year ending April 30 last. This showed the club to be in a sourd financial position, having a balance in bard of just on L-12. It was unanimously decided that the following finance committee should be elected, with Dr. D. L. Thomas (hon. treaE..Ter) as chairman:- Messrs. F. H. Clay, Tim Evans, and E. Jenkins, with J. D. Williams as Ion. secretary to con- vene the meetings. W. J. Thomas was elected captain, and D. J Davies hon. secretary of the 3rd XV. The chairman raid great tribute to the generosity of the late president, Mr. T. J. Harries, and, on the prorosition of Mr. Tudor Davies, it was resolved not to fill the vacancy until next season out of r-^pect to the memory of a good sportsman. Iloqrty votes of thanks to the chairman and her,, secretary closed a pleasant meeting. COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP. Middlesex, three ",oals, one try; Kent, nil.

AthVetic Notes. -1 MR. ACK LLEWELYN'S BOLD MOVE. [By FORWARD."] In the Jesus College, Oxford, sports, which were held on Tuesday, Strand Jones, who is in the running with Winfield for a place in the Welsh team, won the long jump with 18ft. 5sin. and the weight with 3.)ft. nino In addition to being a dual winner, he has also gat his blue." lIe ought to be a happy man if he gets that coveted cap again. The Cardiff Jockey Cycling Club lost £ 40 on this year's annual sports, and I sympathise with the guarantors, who are now called np:m to make good the deficiency out of their own pockets. Those who are partial to rifle shooting will be interested to know that a club, which will be known as the Central Rifle Club. has been formed in Cardiff. The range, "hich has been approved of by the town authorities, is part of the premises of tile Railway Hotel. Prac- tices with the Morris tube will shortly commence, and it is saggested that Color- sergeant W. T. Davies. the Llanelly Queen's Prizeman, be invited to fine off the first shot. The pigeon fanciers of South Wales have formed a federation of their own. They were not ciuite satisfied, I understand, with the way in which they were being treated by the English Association, and, as a result, they have gone in for Home Rule, which will cover all the clubs of South Wales and Monmouth- shire. I don't suggest that this item comes under the heading of athletics exactly, but it must pass muster this time. It was common knowledge, as I staled in this column on Tuesday, that the Glamorgan League people Wad something up their sleeve, and they have now Jet the cat out of the bag by allowin the publication of the resolution which will be submitted to the league meeting by Afr. icl- Llewellyn at Treherbert on Tues- day evening. Objection will be raised in maay quarters on account of its drastic character, but everyone who is genuinely desirous of pro- moting the interests of Welsh foothall will agree with the principle involved. There is a moral obligation on the part of the big clubs of Wales to help the smaller clubs, and in the long run they will benefit immense! by so doing. Such teams as Aberavon. Maesteg. Bridgend. and the pick of the Rho"dda basket are bound to improve by frequent contact with such exponents of the game as Cardiff, New- port, Swansea, and Llanelly. It is due to Llanelly that it should be said of them that they acted upon the principle of helping the weak many years ago. when football was in its infancy in the Rhondda and other places. I veil remember a meeting at which Mr. Harry Bowen was considered to be exceedingly humorous, when he suggested home and home matches with one of the first clubs formed in the Rhondda. But he per- suaded that meeting that he was serious, and fixtures were arranged accordingly. Why should there be so much of riding the high horse in an. amateur sport. The leading clubs are well off enough to make a little sacrifice, and if they will be only generous enough to do it they will find in a few years other teams than theirttteapable of giving a first-class display of football. The representatives of the smaller organisations on the Welsh Union need only be loyal to each other to make their power felt. It might be suggested, with perfect reasonableness, that before asking the union to adont 1fr. Llewellyn's resolution representations should be made to the leading clubs in this matter of widening the area of Welsh home and home matches. Compulsion is not palatable at any time, and it would be more satisfactory in every sense if the strong and the weak came to a mutual understanding and agree 1 to the arrangement of a fair number of fixtures, and thus avoid the dictatorship of the union or any other body. The large number of suspensions of players by the union last night seems to indicate an increase in roughness. It is quite deplorab'e that 30 men cannot engage in a game of foot- ball without resorting to horseplay, and, and, if things go on as they appear to be doing now, the only practical course for the union to adopt will be to make an example of offending players by longer terms of sus- pension.
SOUTH WALES COLLEGE.
SOUTH WALES COLLEGE. RECEPTION FOR THE NEW PRINCIPAL. A meeting of the council of the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire was held on Wednesday, when the president, Mr. Alfred Thomas, M.P., occupied the chair. It was resolved to hold a public educational meeting, if possible, on January 9, for the reception of the new principal (Mr. E. H. Griffiths. M.A.). It is intended that the meeting shall take place at the Park-hall.—Mr. J. Austin Jenkins, B.A., registrar of the college, was appointed representative of the council on the council of the Aberdare Hall.-Lea.ve of absence was given to Dr. Perman in order that lie may attend the German University for the purposes of research work during the term 1903.—It was resolved to award the Alfred Hughes medal on the result of a special examination in anatomy, to be held in June, 1902.—Mr. 1. M. Butcher was appointed teacher of hygiene in the technical school.
CARDIFF BOILERMAKER'S DEATH.
CARDIFF BOILERMAKER'S DEATH. SEVEN MONTHS IN THE TIMBER- FLOAT. At the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Wednesday afternoon Mr. E. B. Rsece (coroner) held an inquest on the body of Robert Sexton Smith, who had been missing since the 9th of May lasL. and whose remains were discovered by a docks constable on Tuesday afternoon in the timber ponds off Penarth-road. 1.ire. Smith, wife of Robert Thomas Smith, said deceased was her son. Of that she was quite certain. He was 33 years of age, was unmarried, and a boilermaker. Witness last saw him alive on the 9th of May, when he was about to go to his lodgings, at 83, Pentre- bane-street. He was then in low spirits, and had been so for twelve months. James Smith, with whom deceased had lodged in Pentrebane-street for seven years, said the man left home between seven and eight o'clock on the night in question, and he had not seen him since. Witness identified him by his boots, the remnants of his trousers, and a peculiar foot with a high in- step. Further evidence of identification was con- clusive, a knife found in one of deceased's pockets being recognised by a friend. Dr. Buist (police-surgeon) stated that, so far as he could see. there was no evidence of bodily injury having been inflicted. The jury returned an open verdicfc
UNITED STATES IRON TRADE.
UNITED STATES IRON TRADE. The "Iron Age" in its weekly report states that confidcnce in the future of the iron market still continues unabated, and seems justified because the majority of foundry-iron furnaces are booked for four to six months ahead. A disposition has developed towards asking further moderate advances for pig- iron for early delivery. The week has brought some improvement in the shortage of cars, and, consequently, in the coke supply; but pig-iron is, to some extent, accumulating at furnaces merely owing to the lack of trans- portation facilities. The scarcity of steel continues to embarrass rolling mills, which are compelled sometimes to pay fancy prices for billets. Moderate importations of the latter during the week have afforded some relief. The sales of standard-guage steel rails for 1801 delivery alone aggregate now 1,368,000 tons, exclusive of orders for electric lines. There is an easier tone noted for bars and sheets, while wire-nails are slowly declining, owing to competition, which is rapidly spread- ing.
Railway Station Sensation.
Railway Station Sensation. Yesterday a sensational incident occurred in one of the lavatories in the Central Station, Manchester. A station constable, having his suspicions, went to the lavatory, but being unable to gain admission he climbed over the door, with the result that he discovered a man apparently in a fit. Assistance was pro- cured, and it was then found that a man was suffering from a, wound in the head, which had evidently been caused' by a pistol lying close by. The man was taken to the infirmary, where he lies in an unconscious condition. The name of the man is John Whelan, a Lailor, of 39, Darby shire-street, Radcliffe. He is 42 years of age.

Stop-Day Policy. SPEECH BY MR. KEIR HARDIE, Mr. Keir Hardie. M.P., visited Mountain Ash on Wednesday evening and addressed a meet- ing. The hon member said he read the other day of a case tried at Aberdare where men were sued for damages because they thought they had a right to take a holiday when their interests required it. They had learnt differently since then. According to the judg- ment of the stipendiary, which he would not question for a moment, because it was ruled and governed by the decisions of the IfiKh Coun, a colliery company might for yood reasons throw a colliery idle and tie workmen out of employment for one-half of each week, but if the workmen for equally good reasons threw the colliery idle for a day they were required to compensate the employers for the loss they bad sustained. That was a one-sided form of contract, and it was a form of con- tract which did not exist in any other relation save that between master and workman. Referring to the war in South Africa, he paid it was provoked by unscrupulous persons to serve their own ends, and he concluded by preaching the gospel of Socialism.

LOCAL LAW CASE.
LOCAL LAW CASE. VALIDITY OF A PATENT IN QUESTION. The case of the English Electric Metal- lurgical Company v. the Glasdir Copper Mines (Limited') came on Wednesday before Lords Justices Vauglian Williams, Romer. and Cozens Hardy. Mr. Bibdin, K.C., applied, on behalf of Mr. F. E. Elmore, that an appeal from an order made by Mr. Justice Joyce in that action might be transferred from the final to the interlocutory liM. with a view to expediting the hearing, or that the stay of pro- ceedings which the learned judge had directed pending- the appeal might be discharged. The action was by debenture holders, and a receiver had been appointed. The present applicant was not a party to the action, but the receiver was proceeding to work a patent of which Mr. Elmore claimed to be the owner, and he moved in the action for an order for directions to the receiver not to work the patent, or, in the alternative, for leave to take proceedings against the receiver. On that notice the learned judge made an order directing the receiver not to work the patent, but had granted a otay of proceedings upon the order pending the plaintiff's appeal from it. Lord Justice Romer: What will be the sub- stantial question to be tried? The validity of the patent ? Mr. Dibdin: No. The question will be whether the debenture holders were assignees of a. licence to-work the patent. The matter is of vital importance to my client, who is the patentee, and the appellants are working my patent with a view to a report upon it. Lord Justice Vaughan Williams: The appeal will be transferred to the interlocutory list, and the costs of this application will be costs in the appeal. -r-- ,1.

Church Bazaar at Newport.
Church Bazaar at Newport. Mr. Joseph Lawrence, M.P., opened a bazaar at Newport on Wednesday, the object of which j is to reduce the debt on St. Matthew's Church, Maindee. The church, which has a seating accommodation of 600, is situate in a populous district, and originally cost £ 4,000. At the opening in 1393 the debt was £ 2,000, which has opening in 1893 the debt was £2,000, which has since been diminished to £800. Mr. Lawrence, in his opening remarks, stated that he hoped to see Monmouthshire as well as Wales resume its former position as a stronghold for the established Church, and he expressed the opinion that education should be allied to and founded on religious knowledge. This would implant in the minds of the people an idea and an appreciation of their moral obligations to religion. Such work by the clergy went to make firmer the stability of the Church. No State could long prosper which was on a purely technical basis. There were eight artistic stalls, splendidly arranged for effect and making the most of the rather limited space. A novelty in bazaar entertainment was the Japanese teahouse, where the refreshments were served up by dainty "geishas" in Japanese costume. Accompanying the vicar of Maindee (the Rev. D. LI. Jones) were the Revs. Lemuel James (curate-in-charge of St. Mathew's). and W. N. Cottrell and Councillors Clifford and Fred Phillips and F. E. Burpitt. Mr. Clifford Phillips moved, rnd Mr. H. J. Halford seconded, a vote of thanks to ltfr. Lawrence.

South Monmouth. A
South Monmouth. A RADICAL MEETING AT NEWPORT; Continuing the procese of organising the forces of Radicalism in South Monmouthshire. Mr. D. A. Thomas. M.P.. and Mr. Osmond Williams. M P., addressed a public meeting at the Barnardtown Board School, Newport, on Wednesday evening. The meeting was a. very small one. Mr. Osmond Williams. M.P.. opened out at once on the subject of the war, holding Mr. Chamberlain and his policy up to ridicule, and asking for a definition of the hackneyed term of opprobrium "a pro-Boer." He enp- posed no two persons would give the same answer. Having spoken for a considerable time on war questions, the speaker said he wanted to make an appeal to the pockets of the taxpayers. The ordinary expenses of the country—apart from the war—when the Liberals left office was £ 94,000,000 a year. Now. after seven years, it had risen to £ 12o.000,003—an increase of £ 29,000,000 a year. Was Tory government worth the price? Mr. D. A M.P., said the small atten- dance was evidence of a better organisation. Newport and South Monmouth were so mixed up that he could not help alluding to hie old friend. Mr. Joseph Lawrence. M.P. He (the speaker; had had to deal with that gentleman before, at Cardiff, where he was not taken on. He would not allude to Newport having taken on cast-off clothes—but it might be described as a sort of misfit. At Newport Mr Joseph Lawrence took the bread and butter ground generally—that he was going to do a great deal of good for Newport. But Mr. Lawrence voted for the coal tax. The speaker went on to show that the effect and incidence of the coal-tax had been more prejudicial to Newport than to Cardiff. Mr. Lawrence was anxious about advertising New- port. He did not know whether it was to be a matter of little pills" or pille for pale people; or perhaps they would see the West Coast of Africa or the Sahara Desert covered with advertising boards bearing the inscrip tion. "Try Newport nubs for needy niggers,' or something of that kind. 'Laughter.)
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NORTH…
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NORTH WALES. BATTLE OF THE SITES RESPITE FOR BANGOR. A lengthy discussion took place at Cheste* on Wednesday afternoon at a meeting of the Court of Governors of the University College of North Wales, Bangor, with reference to the Court of Governors of the University College of North Wales, Bangor, with reference t-o the location of the site of the new buildings of the college. Mr. P. P. Pennant presided. The report of the council, which was sub- mitted by the chairman (Mr. Bulkeley Price), showed that Bangor Town Council had ob- tained six acres of the Bishop's Park with a view of obtaining Parliamentary powers to present it to the college. The local authorities of Rhyl. Colwyn Bay, Denbigh, Carnarvon, and Wrexham wrote offering sites for the college. The Mayor of Bangor Mr. Henry Lewis) strongly advocated the claims of the town, and explained that his council recommended a site of ten acres, four of which were on the Penrallt Estate and six in the Bishop's Park. They suggested that the college buildings should be built on the former and that the latter ground should be an approach or site for subsidiary buildings. The corporation had agreed to pay £ 11,300 for the Bishop's Park, and the cost of the six acres they proposed to give the college would be £ 5,723. The Pen- rallt cite belonged to Lord Penrhyn, and the market price was £ 8,000, which amount would have to be provided by the college authorities. Mr. Russell (Wrexham* asked why the Bishop of Bangor had left the Bishop's Park. remark. ing that common report was that the house was damp and the situation low and un. healthy. The Mayor of Bangor was proceeding to explain that the reason was because the bouse was -very old and inconvenient, when the Bishop of Bangor laughingly contradicted him. explaining that the palace was damp, but he pointed out that it was not proposed to build the college on the site of the palace. Another member contended that the Bangor site wae a very difficult and expensive one to build upon. and quoted a report of Mr. Tat- ham. travelling architect to the Board of Education, who said no combination of the proposed two sites wae possible, owing to the rapid fall in the land from one site to the other. Numerous other gentlemen having spoken, it was agreed to give the Town Council of Bangor — another year in which to come forward with a definite and satisfactory offer, and that in the event of this not being done the court would be prepared to take into consideration proposals from other localities in North Wales. A committee was appointed to inspect the sites.
CARMARTHENSHIRE FOXHOUNDS.
CARMARTHENSHIRE FOXHOUNDS. Trelech Church, the venue for Tuesday, meant a long jaunt from the kennels for hounds, and. indeed, for almost all the field. Tom and Phil were in charge of the pack. Amongst those who were present were Mr Parkinson. Dr. R. L. Thomas. Mitts Howel. Miss Bchomberg. Messrs. G. Prot,herce Beynon, Lewis Philippe, W. S. Andrew. John and Ivor Anthony, and Jack Francis. Hounds were « thrown into Pantycoed Covert, and ere Ion? « Reynard wae afoot. He was bustled back and fore, being viewed every now and again, when a comrade joined in the fray. Eventually one broke covert, and the pack were laid on together and made in the direction of Capel Bettws. but. turning to the lett. Reynard made over at the cross roads if for Plaspanthowel. A sheep-dog headed him. causing a long cherk. and another swing to the left pointed for his lat-e tryst. Up to the check the going had been fast and strong, there being clean, big banks, seven-footers, with a ditch on each side occasionally, fair tests for a made hunter, but the field were all "seasoned ones." Slow hunting1, with patchy scent, proved of little use. so it wae decided to try for a fresh fox which Cftstle Gorwyn Dingle soon supplied. He first made along the hillside, then sunk the calley. scent being still poor, and after getting to the top nothing could be made of him. Fox No. 3 was after a close draw evicted from i goree covert all Eithinduon. and was viewed iway. Sinking t.he valleys and cresting the aills was the course he set. making through Pandv Mill to Cilsant. Here he was viewed igain and pgain in crossing from covert :o covert, other foxes being the cause of the sack dividing and scattering, so hounds were stopped. A long ride home for nearly every. me was the final scene of a fine hunting day.
THE UNKISSED.
THE UNKISSED. Professor Crook, of Chicago. has discoverer that fame in America is easily acquired. Addressing a scientific class a short time ago, the professor casually remarked that the successful pursuit of a scientific career de- manded the sacrifice of many human weak- nesses. and added, "For Inyself. I have never sworn, or tasted intoxicants, never smoked, an dnever kissed a lady." Mr. Crook's astound- ing dpclarat 31) was report-ed in all the Chicago papers, and next day it was telegraphed all over the country. Mr. Crook to-day is one of the most discuseed men in America. He is 37 years of age and good looking. The modest professor is surprised and humiliated by this notoriety. He is being deluged with letters. some praising, others ridiculing him. Many are from ladies who make him offers of marriage. Page Woodcock, of Lincoln. makes another oiler to every lady and gentleman in Great Britain, viz.. the offer of his famous Wind Pills, invaluable for the cure of Indi- gestion. Liver Complaints. Wind on the Stomach. Sick Headache, Costiveness Debility, Biliousness, Palpitation of the Heart, Ac. Try a box.' It will be a red-letter day with you. Mri;, Martha Vic-kers. Langworth, Lincoln, writes-Fur several months I suffered peverely from Indigestion and Liver Complaint, accompanied by extreme Nervous Debility. For a long Whi;e I dared not eat solid food hut had recourse to bread and biscuitsop. My doctor failed to give any relief. I was advised to try your W ind Pills. The results were well nigh miraculous. The pains have left me. I can eat any kind of food. and enjoy the best of healih." Mr. N. p. Johnson. Rose Cottage. Cranage near Holmes ChupeJ. Cheshire, writes:I have great pleasure in speaking of the excellent qualities of your Wind Pills they have cured me of InHipestion of years standing. After trying various kinds of pills I find the Wind I Jl's far superior, and shall always keep them on hand."
