ELECTION OF TRUSTEES. Elections occupied the first portion of the sitting on Wednesday, and the vote was taken by show of hands, the tellers reporting 728 dele- gates present. "Let the tellers stand in the centre and count," suggested a delegate. "That is what they are going to do," responded the High Chief Ranger. "And let no brother vote twice on the same occasion," piped another delegate, and the court roared at the "bull." "The tellers want to pass down the aisles," announced the High Chief Ranger. "Close up to the tables," and the court closed. Two Trustees. tThe final voe for trustees resulted as fol- lows:- Hulse, B., Cheser 559 Pembery. J., Bristol 489 NOT ELECTED.

FARMER TORR EXECUTED AT NOTTINGHAM, Elias Torr, 52, farmer, of Hickling, Notting- hamshire, was executed at Nottingham on Tues- day morning for murdering his eldest daughter aged 21. Torr was of a violent temper and attict-ed to drink. On the day of the crime he made upfounded charges against his wife, who, fearing violence, ran into a neighbour's house accompanied by her three daughters. Torr followed with a gun and shouted to Mrs. Torr "Come out or I will shoot you." Mean- while Mre. Torr and two younger daughters escaped, and the enraged man battered in the door. The eldest daughter, Maxy Ann, who was standing in the passage close to the broken part of the door, picked up a splinter and exclaimed "you devil," whereupon Torr fired through an opening and shot her dead. Torr, on being apprehended, said he was very sorry, and that he did not do it on purpose. The condemned man had up to the end of last week entertained hopes that the efforts that were being made to obtain a reprieve for him would be successful. On Sunday last, however, it was, officially intimated to him that the Home Secretary had declined to interfere with the sentence, and after this Torr seemed to be resigned to his fate. While in prison he made a will, disposing of his property to his wife, by whom he was eeen for the last time on Saturday. His son visited him on Monday. The farewell interviews were of an affecting character. Torr paid careful attention to the ministrations of the Rev. H. Mansell, prison chaplain, and expressed contrition for many acts of his past life, but his chief concern ap- peared to be as to the future happiness of his wife. Billington, the executioner, was assisted by his son, and the sentence was carried out in an outbuilding within the prison walls, to which prisoner had to walk about twenty yards. Billington entered the condemned cell shortly before eight, and Torr, who had passed a restless night, submitted himself quietly to the pinioning process. The procession, headed by the chaplain, was quickly formed, and with- in two minutes of leaving the cell the bolt had been drawn. Death was instantaneous. Pri- soner's last words on the scaffold were, "0, Lord Je\us, receive my soul."

QUALIFIED REFUSAL OF A JOINT INQUIRY. SITUATION AGAIN SERIOUS. A Central News telegram from Johannes- burg on Tuesday at 8.35 a.m. says:—The invi- tation of Sir Alfred Milner to the Transvaal Government to send delegates to confer with her Majesty's representative on the new fran- chise law was considered at a secret si&fion of the Ra-ads last night. It was finally resolved to send Sir Alfred Milner a qualified refusal. A Central News telegram from Johannesburg on Tuesday says-It is reported that the Im perial Government will be represented on the Franchise Inquiry Commission by. amongst others, Mr. Conyngham Greene, her Majesty's Agent at Pretoria and Mr. Searle, a barrister. As the result of the refusal of the Raads to authorise the Transvaal Government to join the Commission, the situation is again regarded as extremely serious. A Reuter's telegram from Cape Town on Tuesday says:—Nothing is known here regard- ing the report that the Transvaal Government has declined Mr. Chamberlain's proposal for a joint inquiry into the effects of the fran- chise law. The Press Association says:—With reference to the report that the Boer Government had met Mr. Chamberlain's proposal for a commis- sion of experts to consider the franchise pro- posals with a qualified denial, inquirers at the Colonial Office on Tuesday afternoon were in- formed that the department had no informa- tion to give on the subject. MILITARY MOVEMENTS. The Press Association Aldershot correspon- dent telegraphs that the departure of the three Artillery batteries which were under orders to embark for Natal this month has been post- poned till a later date. A Press Association special telegram from Pretcria on Tuesday (later) says:—The reply to Mr. Chamberlain's c'ispatch has not yet gone forward, and the Government is still delibe- rating on the matter. Various rumours are current regarding the decision reached at yesterday's coinbiiie-I secret session of the Volksraad, but nothing has been officially announced. AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION. A Central News telegram from Johannes- burg on Tuesday evening says:—It has been known for some time past that the Raad con- templated an extension of the liabilities to military service in the Republic. To-day definite action was taken by the passing of a new article to be added to the Grondwet, or Constitution, setting forth that in the event of war or rebellion, or other circumstances of a pressing character, the, President, with the consent of the Executive, might pro- claim martial law, after which every inhabi- tant within the Republic, without any distinc- tion whatever, would be obliged to assist in the defence of the State. The reading of the new article created great enthusiasm, and it was passed by acclamation. It is now reported that the refusal of the Raad to authorise the Government to take part in the Franchise Inquiry Commission was unconditional, and that it was embodied in a formal resolution, which was passed by seven- teen votes to eleven. PREPARATIONS AT BULUWAYO. A Renter's telegram from Buluwayo on Tues- day say,The Government Authorities here are enlisting and forming a large camp three miles from the town, at which numbers of horses are arriving. These precautions are being taken in view of the possibility of the natives becoming disturbed as the result of any conflict between the Imperial Government and the Transvaal. Patrols in various direc- tions are being organised. Several special service officers are expected to arrive here to-night. TO-DAY'S MEETING AT CARDIFF. A public meeting in reference to the Tra-rvifi crisis will be held at the Cory Memorial-hall, Cardiff, this (Wednesday) evening, when the prin- cipal speakers will be Mr. J. R. Dodd. who has recently returned to this country from the South African Republic, and Alderman Dodd, of Sunderland. Both are fluent speakers, and Mr. J. R. Dodd will be able to place before the meeting the disabilities under which the Uitlander population suffers. The chairman will be Councillor Lewis Korgan.

A Central News telegram from Rome on Tues- day says:—The official note communicated to the press this evening states that Italy, Eng- land, Germany, and Austria have given their adhesion to the decisions of the Disarmament Conference at The Hague. Mr. Herbert Vine obtained a decree nisi in the Divorce Court on Tuesday because of his wife's adultery with Mr. James Tenniel, stated in a letter written by the respondent to her husband to be a nephew of Sir John Tenniel, "Punch" cartoonist. Whilst bathing in the sea at Southerndown, near Bridgend, on Monday afternoon, a young man named James Davies, aged nineteen, resi- dingo at Newcastle. Bridgend, was drowned. His body subsequently recovered, and from the mark-i which it bore there was every indication that the poor fellow in divine must have struck some hidden r.

H.M.S. SANSPAREIL SINKS A CARDIFF-BOUND VESSEL. ALL ThE CREW SAVED EXCEPT ONE. The B Fleet Reserve Squadron arrived in Torbay on Tuesday, and reported that on the previous night the Sanspareil collided with a sailing vessel, the East Lothian, in tow, from Nantes to Cardiff, near the Wolf Rock Light- house, about eleven o'clock. The East Lothian sank within a few minutes, but all hands, with one exoeption, were saved, and were brought into Torbay by the Sanspareil, which handed them over to a representative of the Ship. wrecked Mariners' Society. The Captain's Story. In an interview with the Torquay correspon- dent of the Press Association, Captain William Macfarlane, of the East Lothian, said: "We left Nantes at 1.30 a.m. on Saturday last in tow of two JN antes steaiuers. We were subsequently met by the Sir W. T. Lewis, a Cardiff tug, at St. Nazaire, and taken in tow for Cardiff. All went well until Monday night, at about 11.10, when we were run into by the battleship Sans- pareil, which was steaming at about ten miles an hour. She struck us on the break of the poop, leaving an immense hole in our side. Our bearings at the time of the colli- sion were:—Wolf Rock bearing north by west, thirteen miles; Lizard, east by north half north, twenty-one miles. The night was dark, but very clear, and the sea smooth. When the vessels struck the mate and myself were on deck, my wife and son and the remainder of the crew being in their berths. Within a minute or two our vessel began to founder, but we were close enough to the war- ship for most of the crew to scramble aboard. I threw my son across the Sanspareil's deck just as the rails of the East Lothian were going under. My wife was in her nightdress, and had a narrow escape. Only one of the crew of nineteen was drowned, viz., William Collings, an able seaman. We were treated with every kindness on the Sanspareil." The East Lothian sank in about seven minutes. She was 1,389 tons register, built by Connell, of Glasgow, and belonged to Mr. James Boyd, of Ellensborough. Fortunately for the Sir W. T. Lewis, the tow rope broke when the collision occurred, or the consequences might have been serious for the tugboat. INTERVIEV WITH SAILORS AT CARDIFF. The Saving of the Captain's Wife. In an interview with some of the sailors from the East Lothian, who are now at Cardiff, the following facts were elicited. The vessel left Nantes on Saturday and arrived at St. Nazaire on Saturday, and was taken in tow by the Sir W. T. Lewis, of Cardiff, for which post the vessel was bound. The Wolf Rock Lighthouse was sighted about eleven o'clock on Monday evening, and shortly afterwards the boat was run into by the battleship Sanspareil. John Gunnison, a sailmaker on board the wrecked vessel, said:—I was laying on my chest on Monday night watching by a sailor who had attempted suicide the previous night, and who was very delirion. I felt a, shock which threw me off the chest and which caused me to fall on the threshold of the cabin. I ran on deck, and, seeing that we were sinking, I jumped on to the anchor davit of the Sans- pareil. The captain then threw his wife in the same direction, calling out, For God's sake, save my wife!" He caught her and held on to her for several minutes, by so doing being in imminent peril of his life. The crew, who were all saved with the excep- tion of one seaman, spoke in high praise of the superintendent and officers of the Seamen's Home, wheer they are now staying, declaring that they had been treated with every kindness there.

CARDIFF BOUNDARIES. THE NEW SCHEME FOR NEXT SESSION. IMPORTANT DISCUSSION AT THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. The Cardiff Parliamentary Committee held a meeting on Tuesday, under the presidency of Sir Thomas Morel (mayor), at which they dis- cussed what parishes, or parts of parishes, should be scheduled in the Bill it is intended to promote in the next session of Parliament for the purpose of extending the borough boundaries.—Mr. J. L. Wheatley (the town- clerk) explained that Mr. Harpur (the borough engineer) and himself had gone carefully into the whole matter, and they had come to the conclusion that they should include the whole of the Penarth Urban District {embracing Penarth, Llandough, and Cogan). Leckwith, being a purely agricultural district, they pro- posed not to take into consideration, and with regard to Llandaff they had gone through all the difficulties that had cropped up during the last inquiry, and they thought it advisable to bring in the whole of Llandaff, including the city. The difficulty would be much greater in dealing with a part of Llandaff than the whole. Dealing with Whitchurch, Mr. Wheatley said they thought that the members of the com- mittee should make a tour of inspection in that district and juage for themselves. They proposed to take in a portion of Llanishen. measuring 665 acres, and this portion would include Roath Park. It was practically the old scheme with the exception of Leckwith. Mr. Jenkins said he had. a question to ask which he considered important. He wanted t) have it made clear whether, by including the borough extension scheme in the Bill. they would jeopardise that portion of the Bill deal- ing with the western district Pewer.-The Town- clerk replied in the negative, pointing out that they could drop any part of the Bill at any time. Mr. Jenkins said this statement relieved his mind very much. With regard to Fenarth he remarked that last time they were offered most favourable terms, and it was now the feeling of many members of the corpora- tion that th.. term-i to be offered on this occa- sion should be less favourable.—The Town-clerk said the corporation had not yet considered the question of terms, but, as far as he could judge the feeling, the terms which would be offered to Penarth would be much less favour- able than previously. Mr. W. Evans said he could not agree to the whole of the parish of Llandaff being included. They were told there were already 3,000 empty houses in Cardiff, and if they went in now for a large extension they would be surely defeated.—Mr. Jenkins pointed out that they could have a circular tramway route if they had a new bridge across the Taff between the Cardiff and Llandaff Bridges.—The Borough Engineer said there was certainly need of such a bridge, and then they would be able to con- struct a road between Maindy and Llandaff. The Town-clerk then put the different por- tions of the scheme to the vote, and it was resolved to recommend the corporation to seek Parliamentary powers to include the whole of Penarth urban district, the parishes of Cogan. Llandough. Llandaff. and 665 yards of Llanishen within the borough, th question of Whitchurch to be further considered.

NATIONAL AMALGAMATED LABOURERS' UNION. CONFERENCE AND BANQUET AT CARDIFF. ETHICS OF TRADES UNIONISM. The local branches of the National Amal- gamated Labourers' Union of Great Britain and Ireland are just now holding their tenth annual conference in Cardiff, and have already come to decisions and made alterations in the rules with a view of improving the condi- tions under which they work. The proceedings commenced on Monday at the Bridgwater Arms Hotel, and will conclude, it is expected, this (Wednesday) night. The delegates in attendance represent 30 branches from South Wales and Monmouthshire and the whole of the Bristol Channel ports. Mr. C. W. Stenner (Cardiff), president of the national organisation, was chairman of the conference. The financial report indicated steady advance, and the con- ference was also able to congratulate itself upon an increase of 741 in the roll of members. The delegates to the conference on Tuesday night sat down to their annual banquet in the spacious dining-hall at Elliott's Hotel, St. Mary-street, Cardiff. Councillor John Jenkins, J.P., presided, and various toasts were pro- posed.

The Swansea Tour isle on Tuesday visited Chard, and played the home team there, Winning the tosSs, the Welshmen batted first, and succeeded in compiling the very respectable total of 252. J. A. Davies played a capital innings, being run out when only three short of his century. He scored fourteen 4's and cne 6. He was well supported by E. Bishop (49), Sydney Solomon (30), C. Johnson (27), and T. Powell (22). Bishop's bowling proved destruc- tive, and eight of the Chard wickets were cap- tured for 91, when time arrived and stumos were drawn, the match being left greatly in favour of the Tourists. GLAMORGAN V. BERKSHIRE. In this match, which will be played at Reading to-day (Wednesday) and to-morrow (Thursday), the Glamorgan team will be com- posed of the following:—Messrs. E. W. Jones, H. B. Letcher. J. H. Brain, H. E. Morgan. W. H. Brain, and R. Rooney. with Creber. Russel, Bancroft, and the brothers Lowe. It will be seen that the only change from the side which so handsomely defeated Wiltshire will be the substitution of R. Rooney for S. Sweet-Becott.

SP 031T 0F THE D AY. The amateur selection for to-day is Dunlop. The Oaks, a beautiful property, after which the famous Epsom race was named, and which lies in a lovely situation on the edge of Bu- stead Downs, partly in the parish of Woodman- sterne and' partly in that of Carshalton, is in the market, at the disposal of the highest bidder. The Oaks was for more than half a century the Surrey home of Edward, twelfth Earl of Derby. It, wasn't much of a show that Evius made behind Master Pert in the Snow Hill Selling Plate on Monday, but no sooner were the num- bers telegraphed for the Burton Handicap yes- terday than every "sharp" in Tattersall's was "on." They were evidently inspired, for the gelding won in a canter. His owner, discouraged by his indifferent show on Monday, did not back him for a penny yesterday. Notwithstanding that he had incurred a 5lb. j penalty. Merman had no difficulty in polishing off the opposition in the Birmingham Handicap yesterday. Saint Noel's speed was made the most of by Allsopp when nearing home. but Mr. Tyler's little horse was running out of his distance, and, although he managed to "bustle" the Australian, he couldn't beat him. Although beaten, Mr. Tyler was quite satisfied with his horse's running, and beamed as broadly as though he had won a Derby. Captain Percy Hope Johnstone died on Mon- day morning at his residence, Ardsallagh, Navan, from an attack of jaundice. The de- ceased gentleman owned some good grey- hounds in his time, and held a nomination in the Waterloo Cup for many years. His best greyhounds were, perhaps, Jim Crow, Black Marauder, and Hughie Fearon. Captain John- stone came to the rescue of the Meath Hunt when it was in low water, with substantial pecuniary aid, and he kept his coverts free of the hunt fund. He bred greyhounds on an ex- tensive scale, and his saplings usually fetched good prices at the Barbican.

A platelayer named John Thomas, living at Pembrey Village, was knocked down by the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway Company's engine, "Kidwelly," on Tuesday, death being instantaneous. He was in the employ of the company, and was trying to cross in front of the engine. In the recent competition organised by Daisy (Limited), Leeds, for the best dressed chemist's window, open to chemists and druggists throughout the United Kingdom, the first prize of E5 was awarded to Mr. H. S. Arnold, chemiat and druggist, Cwinavon, Port Talbot. Accord- ing to the report of the adjudicators, the points securing this premier position were "effect, Originality, and artistic taate."

"AS OTHERS SEE US." A NEW YORK POLICEMAN'S VIEW OF LONDON. American visitors are not always compli- mentary in their remarks on London life (says the "London Daily News"), but few are so sweeping in their condemnation as a well- known New York police captain, who has just been with us. Captain James K. Price was-for long in charge of the New York "Tender Loin," the Venusberg of New York City. He came over to London on a police errand a 'ew weeks since, and, now that he is back home, he cannot keep in silence about his contempt for LondoTt. The wickedest corner of New York is. he declares, like a Sunday-school in comparison with this city. We are no good anyway "This is what is the matter with London," lie said to a New York reporter: There is a scarcity of ice. There is a superfluity of women. There are, nothing but bad cigars. There is not a first-class bootblack. The barbers don't know how to shave. This about states all there is to be told about London But the captain enlarges on this theme. Like the Laplanders who recently gave us their impressions, he is overwhelmed by the visible sin of London, and especially by the condi- tion of our streets and the state of our public- bouses. "As to Sunday law." he says. "we New Yorkers are saints indeed. I saw the bar-rooms wide open on Sunday over in London. There I saw women with babes at their heels walk- ing into the bar-rooms and standing in front of the bars drinking. The women-enstomers were being served by barmaids. We don't do business that way in this country—certainly not in New York. I again tell you that New York is the very best police city in the entire civilised world. I never saw a town that was as wide open as London is to-day. You ask me where London's tenrler loin' is located. All London is a tender loin But besides our morals the captain strongly objects to our manner of living. "In the first place," he says, "you cannot get a decent drink in London—everything is served too warm. Meals are very poor as a rule. I can get a better meal anywhere in New York-and I don't have to go to the Waldorf Astoria for it, titber-than I can get a-t the best place in London." He went to a swell theatre. He admits that the audience was grand, and the show waa good. "It was an American show; but right during the acts they served drink throughout the hom-e! Could we do this in New York? Never! Would New Yorkers stand for it? Never! I am a New Yorker all the tame." It is easy enough to laugh at Captain Price's criticisms; but perhaps we should do well to think what grounds London affords for their justification.

At Birmingham on Tuesday a boy named Evesham ran in front of William Edw tterry. a youth who was firing a revolver, and received the charge in his head, dying in hos- pital a few hours afterwards.

Local Sport. Anticipations of a win for Glamorganshire were realised on Tuesday, when the South Wales county, who are in great form just now, won by seven wickets. When Wiltshire com- menced their second innings Uiey played very cautiously, and at one time looked like giving Glamorgan something to do to win..Medlicott. who is one of the finest bat we have seen on the park for some time now, played beautiful cricket for his 56. He is quite good enough for first class cricket, and it is a matter of surprise that Oxford has not played him before this. He is young certainly, but he has such style, whilst his defence is admirable. I venture tG predict that he will make a name in first class cricket yet. Together with Snell. and then with Awdrv, Medlicott brought off useful partnerships, but after the dismissal of this trio the side went all to pieces, and at the close were dismissed for a total that left Glamorgan with a very easy job on. Creber and Ru-sell were again the most useful professionals on the home side so far as attack was concerned. Especially was this the case with Creber, who took during the match twelve wickets for 137 runs. Russell having four for 53. In batting, chief honours fell to J. H. Brain, whilst Russell and Bancroft come next to him in this respect. Glamorgan's record for this season now reads—-ev4n matches played, six won, and one lost. Of the-e half a dczen are second class county competition matches, so that Glamor- gan has won five matches out of six in this competition, a greater proportion than any other, but are now only fourth according to the nubli-hed table, whch reads as (Calculated to Saturday, August 5).

Still, as I pointed out last week it is really absurd for them to win five games out of ix. and then be below Norfolk ard N^tbamivtonshire, who have won one snn; out of live and one out of six respective; Against Berkshire at Readivic to-day. the only change to be made in the Glamorgan team is that S. Sweet-Escott stands down in favour of R. Rooney. Rooney, however, was doubtful on Tuesday night if he could make the journey. In his absence I have not heard who will fill the vacancy. It ought to be a good match, for Berkshire are pretty strong. I am told. The event of the year in the quoiting world has again passed with its records and its results. The former as showing to what a degree of accuracy the result has been foretold, vide Saturday's "Express." and the latter as show- ing the rapid stride-. the game and its devotees has attained The Englishmen at the outset, we will admit, were a bit unfortunate at the non-appearance of two good men in Bye and Busby, both of Peterborough, though why Busby. Bye, and Peter should conspire to play into the hands of the foe we leave entirely to the hands of the old old veteran. Graham, whose "Grip of Iron" if so well known to friend and foe alike. Or Saturday I suggested that England's first eeven would secure a majority of 28 points. With Mack an absentee. Johnston, of Cheltenham filled the vacancy, and the result was: England: G. Graham, 21; G. Workman, 21; W Graham. 21; E. Hubbard, 17; J. Stone, 19; H Johnston, 21; H. Spain, 17; total, 137. Wales: Ivor Cooke, 6; E. Bramwell. 15; T. Greatrix, 9, J. Pate, 21; Wat. Jones, 21; W. Herbert, U; D. Morris, 21; total, 104. Majority, 33. The result of the whole, a 42-point majority for Wales, clearly proved that the tail so wagged the dog that the last two men secured a hollow victory by such thumping majorities of 21 to 3 and 21 to 4. Thus the fourth encounter between the two countries leaves honours easy, England securing wins at Chel- tenham and the Crystal Palace, and Wain at Bridgend and Merthyr. AS to the play and plays (says a correspon- dent) there were faults evident, and places filled without competition, which must be remedied, while the status of the association must be maintained to the exclusion of out- siders, who would, and did, secure the benefits of membership while not being members of the association. For instance, by a short-sighted policy various clubs have seceded from the association and inaugurated other associations, viz.. the Western League and the Monmouth- shire Association. Is it. however, just to the members of this, the parent association, that club membership of such, paying a sum of 10s. 6d. per annum, should be neglected, whilst individuals of both these leagues have been selected and played in the present match? Apart from this. there is no necessity for going outside, as there are at the present moment sixteen as capable men left yet who would run the sixteen players of Monday to a close corner were such a match arranged. Thus. a growl, mid the peans of victory, bat not without cause, as there are other weak- nesses and defects, which should at least claim attention. What other association would com- pel a player not only to lose a day, but pay his own expenses, rail, &c., to destination? Graham, speaking at the dinner, said -Quoits is all very well, but it is not your 'bread and cheese,' but when the advantage of becoming an international quoit player compels you to pay anything between 5s. and El for the privi- leg, with not even a cap or some slight memento of the event, then the future (though, at present, apparently so rosy) will not for long receive the adherenoe from its members which it now has. The race for the ten miles championship at the Tennis Ground on Tuesday saw Clay. of Catford. who already holds one championship, annex another. The starters were G. Handford, 100 Miles C.C.; C. Parker. 100 Miles C.C.; A. Eddins, Cardiff Athletic; W. P. Richards, 100 Miles C.C.; E. Nicholls, Catford C.C.; G. Lang, Newport A.C.; W. Clay, Thistle C.C.; H. Prickett. Cardiff Athletic; H. L. Jenkins, Pontypridd C.C.; E. Jones, 100 Miles C.C.; J. ThomM. Pontypridd; J. Evans, Pontypridd; W. Parry, Cardiff; and E. Yeo, Pontypridd. As on the previous day, when the 25 mile championship was contested, the Pontypridd men made the pace, occasionally one and then the other taking the first position, Evans and Prickett coming next. In the fourth mile Parker and Parry fell—fortunately, without injury, but the delay necessitated their retirement. Shortly afterwards Eddins' tyre went, and he waas la-pped before he could get another machine. In tht meantime Prickett had secured third place The time for five miles was 12min. 42sec. Thero was scarcely any change in the position of the competitors until nine miles and a half had been covered, and then Prickett took second place. In the las. lap Clay took the lead, and maintained it unvil the end, winning by about half a length, and taking the championship gold medal. Nicholls took second place, and Lang third. The time was given as 25min. Dsec., and the Union will not be called upon to die- tribute silver medals. WELSH ATHLETS.
