Owing to persistent sniping. Colonel Wilson ordered two squadrone to attack the hill which the Boers occupied in some strength. The squadron, under Lieutenant Highes, was cleverly drawn into an ambuscade by his reckless pursuit of the Boers, who at first gave way before him, and whom he thought to be very few in numbers, when a terrific fire was opened upon his squadron from three sides. Lieutenant Hughes at once saw his histake. and the force took shelter until G. Squadron, under Captain Hutchin- eon. got up and assaile. the Boer right flank. Lieutenant Highes then gallantly led his Sien from cover and charged the enemy, who roke and fled. The British casualties com- prised Lieutenant Hughes, killed while lead- pig his men, and two officers wounded, and six £ ien killed and wounded. Prince Radzuvill, one of the officers bounded, was hit in the stomach and in the hand. Colonel Wilson's pom-pom came into action lis the Boers were retreating, and brought fown a number of the enemy.

Liverpool Bank Frauds.
Liverpool Bank Frauds. STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS. Where is Goudie P As we reported in our special and later edi- tions yesterday, the pugilist, Richard Burge, who was arrested in London during the morn- ing, and subsequently brought before Mr. De Rutzen at Bow-street, was remanded for a week. Further Warrants Issued. Some further developments are expected to take place in London almost immediately. Officers of Scotland Yard are now searching for two men for whose arrest warrants have already been granted at Bow-street Police- court. They are men very well known in sporting circles, and to their friends it has come as a matter of very great surprise that they should be considered to be in any way associated with Goudie in the sensational frauds for which he is wanted. One of them is an American by birth, but he has lived in England for a number of years, and has always been regarded as a man of business probity and absolutely above suspicion as regards fraudulent practices. The charge against the two men referred to is understood to be similar to that preferred against Dick Burge, viz., one of uttering bankers' cheques knowing them to be forged. The arrest of Dick Burge has caused some- thing like consternation in sporting circles, where he is very highly respected. He will cer- tainly not lack friendly assistance. Many of his friends are already interesting them- selves on his behalf, and everything possible will be done to ensure that he obtains the best legal aid. Mr. Burge has ir,formed his solicitor that he is absolutely innocent of the charge that has been made against him. and that any cheques that have passed through his hands were obtained in the course of perfectly legitimate business. He denijs being in any way con- cerned with Goudie, the missing bank clerk. and so far the police have not suggested that' he was, although they contend that he knew the cheques were obtained by fraudulent means. At the Credit Lyonnaise Bank Mr. Burge has had an account for some time past Between £13,000 and £14,000 is in his name. and a little over £ 15,000 in his wife's name. It is claimed by the prosecution that these sums are part of the missing £ 170,000. An applica- tion is expected to be made in the High Court to-morrow (Wednesuhy) on behalf of the Bank of Liverpool for an injunction to restrain the Credit Lyonnaise from passing out any of the large amounts either to Mr. or Mrs. Burgs. This will be opposed by Mr. Wilson, acting on behalf of the accused man and his wife. and I it is understood that an adjournment will be asked pending the result of the police-court proceedings against Mr. Burge. An interim injunction' has already been obtained in con- nection not only with these particular sums, but also with regard to deposits made by the two men referred to above. An embargo has been placed on a sum amounting to about £ 100,000. The amount specified on the war- rants issued represent a much larger sum. Burge recently married a sister of Miss Marie Lloyd, the well-known variety artiste. Mrs. Burge is ill at present, and her husband's arrest has quite prostrated her. Burge was frequently one of the chief attractions at the assaults-at-arms held at the Park-hall, Cardiff, in aid of the funds of Nazareth House, and he was well known in local fistic circles. As a result of inquiries made in Bradford, it has been ascertained that Goudie has had transactions to the extent of some thousands of pounds with a Bradford bookmaker, and the local banks are now busy tracing the cheques. Marie Lloyd and Mrs. Burge. Miss Marie Lloyd, the well-known variety artiste, denies the statement in the evening papers last night that Mrs. Burge, whose hus- band has been arrested in connection with the Liverpool bank frauds, is her sister. "I am no relation whatever to Mrs. Burge," said Miss Lloyd last night, "though ,ehe is a dear friend of mine. "Yes, at one time she was my dresser, and when she went on the 'boards' took my name and appeared in 'turns' with one of my sisters. Since then she has appeared 'on her own.' "She has been only married to Dick Burge about a month. We all liked Dick, as every- one doss. "No;. there never was any idea of my going with the Burges to Egypt this winter." No Trace of Goudie. Up to noon to-day the Liverpool police were still without, the slightest clue to Goudie. If he is in hiding in the city his whereabouts are being kept remarkably secret. There is no doubt his confederates will do all they can to keep him from arrest. It is singular that no person has so far turned up who saw Goudie after he left the bank last Thursday. The reported arrest of a bookmaker in Liverpool is denied.
ILLNESS OF MR. BALFOUR,
ILLNESS OF MR. BALFOUR, Mr. Balfjur is ill at Taplow Court, suffering from an attack of influenza. The right hon. gentleman was on a week-end visit to Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Grenfell. The fallowing bulletin was issued during the afternoon by Mr. Ba'four's medical advisers:- "The Right Hon. A. J. Balfour is suffering from an attack of influenza. He is unable to leave his bed. and cannot hope to fulfil any engagements for at least a week. (Signed) EDGCOMBE VENNING. F.R.C.S. G. E. MOORE, M.B." It had teen expected that Mr. Balfour would make his engagement at Wolverhampton to- day (Tuesday) the occasion of an important speech, and the fixture had been looked for- ward to with much interest. At the end of last week the First Lord of the Treasury suf- fered from a slight cold, but left town for the week-end in full expectation of being able to attend the Cabinet meeting on Monday and to speak at Wolverhampton to-day. Miss Bal- four had arranged to go into Sussex on Mon- day evening on a visit, but altered her plans, and about six o'clock left town to visit her brother at Taplow Court. The greatest disappointment was expressed by delegates attending the National Union Conference at Wolverhampton when it was announced at a meeting of Conservative agents that Mr. Balfour had been suddenly taken ill. From messages received, it is understood the right hon. gentleman's temperature rose to 103deg. Negotiations are proceeding with a view to obtaining a substitute.

Conservative Associations ANNUAL CONFERENCE AT WOLVERHAMPTON. Dr. Rutherfoord Harris and Education The annual conference of National Union of Conservative and Constitutional Associations opened to-day at Wolverhampton. Sir Alfred Hickman, M.P.. presiding, and over 800 repre- sentatives attended from all parts of England and Wales. The chairman referred to the illness of Mr. Balfour as taking all the gloss and gilt off their proceedings. The annual report, already published, was then unani- mously adopted, and, the Earl of Dartmouth was unanimously elected president for the ensuing year. Dr. Rutherfoord Harris. ex-M.P., moved a resolution trusting that the Government would deal comprehensively with the question of education. He advocated a sound system of elementary education for all specialised secondary education open to all who had capacity for it, and through co-ordination of the whole. This object could best be obtained by leaving the èontrol of the educational sys- tem to the county andborough councils. Mr. James Baker, of Bristol, seconded the resolution.
The Police-Courts.
The Police-Courts. J CARU IFF. First CourL THIS DAY.—(Before the Stipendiary, Mr. T. W. LEWIS.) CHARGE OF SETTING DOGS TO FIGHT. Henry Thomas, baker. 55, Malifant-street, and Samuel Iles, cycle maker, 148, Malifant- street, Cathays. were summoned for unlaw- fully causing the dogs to fight in Fairoak-road on November 11. Police-sergeant Maxwell stated that on Monday night, at 7.55, he was in the vicinity of Fairoak-road, and heard a noise as of dogs fighting. He at once went to Fairoak-road, where he saw two dogs fighting —one a collie and the other an Irish terrier. They had hold of each other, and were rolling about the road. Defendants were standing close by. lies exclaimed, pointing to the dogs. "Go on; hold on to him; give it to him," and that he said repeatedly. Thomas was hissing only. Witness asked Thomas to whom the dogs belonged. He replied, "One belongs to me and the other to my companion, lies." Witness asked, "Why don't you stop them?" lies remarked. "Let them have it out; they'll be better friends afterwards." Witness walked towards the dogs with cape rolled up to sepa- rate them. They both let go at once. and appeared to be fairly exhausted. Whilst he was taking the names of the small boys look- ing on, defendants went away. Subsequently he called upon Thomas, who readily gave him permission to examine the dog, and he found a slight cut inside the mouth and blood around the mouth. and the dog was covered with mud. Thomas, told that he would re reported, denied having urged the dogs on. lies was equally willing to allow him to set his dog, and witness found on the back of the neck a hole a quarter of an inch in circumference. Defendant explained by stating that the dogs were always having a "scrap." and he thought to let them fight it out. so that they might be better friends.—In answer to Mr. Lloyd Mey- rick, witness said defendants were respectable tradesmen at Cathays, and nothing was known against them.—Mr. Meyrick urged that the offence alleged had been created by modern sentimentality.—Stipendiary: Not created-enforced. Mr. Meyrick: I don't know that in the time of George the Third two dogs fighting is an offence that would have been enforced if it was created at that time. The Stipendiary: It is serious in the borough of Cardiff. According to the bye-laws, the maximum penalty is £5. Mr. Meyrick asked for a light penalty under the circumstances. Defendants had not been guilty of active cruelty, and, moreover, they did not stand the fight. They knew "Its dogs' delight to bak and bite, For 'tis their nature to." and it was not easy to atop two dogs who had made up their minds to turn out. The Stipendiary fined each of the defendants 10s. and costs, or fourteen days. THIS DAY.—(Before Alderman DAVID JONES and Messrs. J. B. FERRIER and ALEX. DUNOAN.) PAINFUL CASE. Thomas Mitchell. 50, was charged on remand with attempting to steal from the person of Alice James, 14. Carlisle-street, a purse and 4d. in bronze. The case stood adjourned from the day previous. Proceedings were instituted by Detective Price, who alleged that. in Cardiff Arms Park, on Saturday afternoon, during the progress of the football match, he saw the accused put his hand into the young lady's pocket. The officer caught the hand. but there was nothing in it. and the purae and its contents were still safely in the prosecutrix's pocket.—Miss James identified prisoner as the man. and said she felt something pressing against her pocket. Then price came up, and prisoner was arrested. Mr. Sydney Jenkins defended. He called Mr. Albert F. Field, watchmaker and jeweller, who said that during the last three years he had hundreds of times tested prisoner's character. He had always found him honest and put implicit confidence in him. Mr. Jenkins submitted that prisoner, in his football enthusiasm, and possibly influenced by a little drink, pushed to the front, in his anxiety to see the game, a ad he may have pushed, amongst others, this girl, to steady himself. The accused had for years been caretaker for the cricket, football, and quoit clubs; he had the custody of watches, chains, and other valuables, and not one single com- plaint had ever been preferred. The Bench inflicted a fine of 10s., or seven days. ——wmm—mmmmommmmmm——I
CARDIFF FINANCES.
CARDIFF FINANCES. Those Dinners and Teas. A meeting of the finance committee of the Cardiff Corporation was held this morning. Alderman S. A. Brain in the chair. The Town-clerk presented a report dealing with the petty cash account that he presented at the last meeting. That account included an item of 17s. for dinners and teas for members of the staff incurred during the quarter ses- sions work. When the account came up it was referred back by the committee, under a con- sideration that those expenses should be covered out of the town-clerk's salary of £150 per annum. He expressed the feeling that it was strange and unfair that when such items were under consideration he was not sent for, particularly as most ungenerous insinuations as to concealment. Ac., were made by some members of the committee, and especially as he he was present at another part of the meeting. The matter was dealt with when his salary as clerk of the peace was fixed. As the committee could find, the terms were that the salary should be JE150 clear. Neither overtime nor refreshments were incurred unless abso- lutely necessary. Mr. E. Thomas said that he used the word "concealment." At the meetng in question the committee spent nearly a quarter of an hour in trying to find out where the items were. Question after question was met with fencing, and when he used the word "conceal- ment" he did not intend it to apply to the town-clerk. If they had the information now given, it would have been different. The committee considered the question at some length, and decided to alter their pre- vious resolution and provide that meals should be paid for, but that overtime should be dis- continued in the corporation departments. A long letter from Mr. J. Stanfleld com- plained of the conduct of two members of the staff, a summons for 4s. 5<1., rate for a house of which he was agent, having been issued, and 4s. 6d. costs incurred. The committee called in the members of the staff, and, after examining them and their book entries, decided to reply that the usual course had been taken in the case.

Australian Cricket.
Australian Cricket. MR. MACLAREN'S ELEVEN V. NEW SOUTH WALES. Sydney, Tuesday.-The weather Jo-day was even better than yesterday, when play in the match between New South Wales and Mr. MacLaren's eleven was resumed this morning, the Australians having eight wickets down in their second innings. The wicket was good. There was a moderate attendance. Poidevin and Iredale continued their innings to the bowling of A. O. Jones and Barnes. When two runs had been added to the overnight score Braund relieved Jones. Garnett fielciell as a substitute for Tyldesley. Poidevin continued to play sound, attractive cricket, and soon completed his century. The fielding was smart, Jessop's performances in the outfield meeting with special applause. The bowling, however, was severely punished, and frequent changes were made. Braund's average, which had been 22 for five wickets yesterday, now jumped up to 117 for five. At the luncheon interval Poi- devin and Iredale were still together, having scored 138 and 67 respectively, the total being 399 for eight wickets. Iredale was the first to go, being caught after lunch before either he or his partner had made another run-9 for 399. At 2.40 p.m. New South Wales had com- pleted their second innings, being all out for 422. MacLaren and M'Gabey opened the English- men's second innings. Eight runs had been made when M'Gahey's wicket fell. Hayward went in. and a stand was made, the score at tea-time being 87 for one wicket. On the resumption of play the aggregate was carried to 116 when Hayward was bowled, MacLaren's contribution then being 58 not out. Quaife followed, but after scoring a single was caught by Kelly, MacLaren having meanwhile added ten to his total-3 for 127. At 141 MacLaren was dismissed, c and b by Clarke. Tyldesley being not out 9. The latter was then joined by Jones, and at the close of play the score had reached 160 without further loss. Present score: NEW SOUTH WALES .-First Inning..

S.P.C.C. AT CARDIFF.
S.P.C.C. AT CARDIFF. One of the worthiest of the many societies which claim the support of the philanthropic and benevolent is that devoted to the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children, which has without doubt done an enormous amount of good throughout the country during the past few years. The report of the Cardiff, Penarth, and Barry section for 1900-1901 is now before us, giving particulars of what has been achieved during that period. Since 1889 the local branch has intervened on bphalf of over 7,000 children, and in the year HjJ-01 788 children were brought within the aegis of the society. Fifteen convictions by magistrates were secured and 245 warnings issued. The total imprisonment inflicted on cruel parents at the society's instigation came to two years and nine months one week. In 163 cases the chief factor in the cruelty was drink. A total of 1,128 supervision visits were paid by the society's officers. During the year 9467 was received, in contributions. A list of the sub- scribers is given, together with the names of the collectors and other helpers, who work hard for so worthy and benevolent nil object. The chairman of the local branch is Mr. Wool- cott Thompson, the hon. secretary Mr. Donald Maclean, whilst there is a central controlling committee, as well as ladies' collecting com- mittees at Cardiff, Llandaff, Llanishen, Dinas Powis, Whitchurch, Llandough, Barry, and Penarth. Two inspectors work the district. and the society's local shelter is at 16, King's- road. Undoubtedly, the existence of this orga- nisation exerts a steadying and sobering effect on many parents who would otherwise starve and abuse their little ones even to the death." Thus its results are far more important and widespread than can be gathered from the figures which the committee publish in their report. [

Royal Quarrels.
Royal Quarrels. QUEEN WILHELMINA'S ILLNESS. Strange Story From Amsterdam. Telegrams from the Continent again give details of quarrels at Court. In Amsterdam, in connection with the Dutch Queen's illness, it is stated that her Majesty had a violent quarrel with Prince Henry, who contracted many debts before he met Wilhelmina. These debts were to be settled after his mar- riage with the rich young Queen, and quite recently Henry made a clean breast of the matter to her. Upon learning all the parti- cular? the Queen declined point blank to pay her Consort's debts, the result being that a very violent scene took place between them. which ended in Henry rushing away to Ger- many in a pet, and in Queen Wilhelmina being taken ill in the manner already reported. It is said that only the most imploring tele- grams sent him by the Queen's mother, Queen Emma, induced him to return to Holland; the Queen's mother is anxious to preserve appear- ances at least. Since his return to Holland Henry has not been once to the palace where his Queen is! In proof of the serious character of the Queen's illness, say the "Express," in spite of all the re-assuring reports to the contrary, may be mentioned the fact that recently the official "Gazette" did not contain a single Royal command, which is an unprecedented state of things. The Hessian Divorce. The "Frankfurter Zeitung" publishes a pri- vate telegram from Darmstadt stating that it was known some days ago that Baron Niedesel, the Chamberlain of the Grand Duchess of Hesse, had been sent to Coburg on a special mission. On his return to Darmstadt he summoned the entire personnel of the Court, and. after thanking all the officials for their faithful gem ices rendered to the Grand Duchess, he bade them a "cordial farewell in her name. Thus, it is regarded that the Grand Duchess had fully resolved not to return to Darm- stadt. Grand Duke Challenged. The "Wierner Mittag-zeitung" states that there is a probability of a duel arising out of the Hesse domestic differences. It says that the Roumanian Crown Prince. the brother-in-law of the Grand Duchess, has challenged the Grand Duke of Hesse to a duel under the severest conditions. The Grand Duchess having no father or brother, the Crown Prince considered it his duty to cham- pion her cause. No reply has been received, or, if it has, its nature has not yet been pub- lished. t i

Football. CARDIFF V. LLANELLY. With so much frost about, these must be anxious moments for the supporters of the Llanelly Club, in view of next Saturday's important match, when Cardiff will he the visitors at Stradey Park. The game with Car- diff is always considered ont of the biggest "draws" of the season in the Western town, and, with their financial position none too satisfactory, it is the hope of all Llanellyites that a thaw will set in before it is too late for the teams to meet. The Cardiff committee met on Monday evening, and selected the following team :-Back, H. B. Winfield; three- quarter backs, Gwyn Nicholls. W. Jones, Cecil Biggs, and "Wax" Williams; half-backs, VVyndham Jones and Carde; forwards, A. F. Harding, Bob Grey, Northmore, Stranaghan, Brown, Spacbman, D. Thomas, and W. C TIees. It will be noticed that Percy Bush is out of the team on account of the injury to his ankle on Saturday, and that D. L. Bowen, the leader of the pack, is also an absentee. Bowen learnt his football at Llanelly. and, inasmuch as he will shortly be the recipient of a presen- tation at the hands of the Llanelly Club, he asked the Cardiff committee to be excused for once. Jere Blake, last season's international and Cardiff forward, who has been on the injured list since the Bristol match, has com- menced training again, and hopes to be fit for the Blackheath match on December 14 The Llanelly team will be:—Back. Bob Richards; three-quarter backs. Alcwvn Jones. W. Arnold, J. Auckland, and Morgan Williams; half-backs, Ben Davie,, and T. Samuel; for- wards, D. Walters. Watts, Keenan, Bob Thomas. Ike Lewis, Stacev, P.C. Daviea, and W. J. Thomas. Arnold will make his first appearance for the scarlets, while Stacey comes back to the forwards after his injury in the trial match. PLAYER'S RIBS BROKEN AT SWANSEA. Morgan Roberts, who is a native of Swan- sea, and who assisted Devonport Albion on Saturday against Swansea, in bringing up a long run by the all whites' forwards was badly injured in the rush. He. however, played on, though with considerable difficulty. After the game he complained of severe pains in his side. On Sunday he returned with the team to Devanyort. and later was medically examined, when it was found that he bad some ribs on the right side broken. TREDEGAR JUNIOR COMPETITION.

CWMTILLERY WATERWORKS.
CWMTILLERY WATERWORKS. Breezy Ratepayers' Meeting. A public meeting of ratepayers of the Aber- tillery district was held in the Odd^ellows- hall, Abertillery. last evening, for the pur- pose of considering a resolution confirming tbe prOinotiou of a Bill by ;i>?- council to make further provision with reguid to the water undertaking of the council and in relation to the supply of electricity and other matters. The total amount for which the Bill will provide will be £47,000, consisting of £17,QOû for the completion of the existing works and other purposes, and £30,000 for additional waterworks, as advised by the waterworks engineer, Mr. T. Rees (Newport) and other experts. Mr. W. P. Thomas presided. There was a representative attendance of the council, but the lID liber of ratepayers present was small.—The Chairman moved a resolution that a Bill for the purposes mentioned be pro- moted, and this was seconded by Mr. T. J. Buckley.—Mr. Carpenter said the great ques- tion was the provision of an adequate supply of water for the abnormally increased popu- lation.—Mr. W. R. Haylings strongly opposed the proposed Bill, and moved a direct nega- tive to the proposition. Everyone in the district, he said, knew that the site for the reservoir was a most unsuitable one.—Mr. Car- penter said they were compelled by the pro- visions of their first Act to complete the existing works, and for that and other pur- poses they must have £17,000. If the rate- payers refused to give them power to obtain the money by Act of Parliament, the council would be compelled to pay it out of the district rate, which would mean for that purpose alone a rate of 4s. 3d. in the £ .—Other speakers wanted to know if, after the expenditure of so large a sum of money, a proper supply of water would be guaranteed.—Mr. J. Dagger seconded Mr. Hayling's amendment, but was told it was out of order.—Replying to Mr. Bagger. Mr. Stewart undertook to say that the coal beneath the reservoir was intact.— After a prolonged discussion, Mr. Haylings withdrew bis motion, and the proposition, that the Bill be promoted, was carried, witfi one dissentient.

SPORT OF THE DAY.
SPORT OF THE DAY. The American jockey Silvers has taken 9 retainer to ride for the stable of Mr. Manske the German sportsman, next year. Earl Purl was steered to victory for the Paiace Hurdle Handicap at Hamilton Park on Thursday by F. Johnson, and not by J. Farrell, ai previously reported. The only official scratchings announced yes- terday were Natsheila out of Leicester engage- ments, and White Hill out of L'xbridge Handi- cap Steeplechase, Kempton Park. A French correspondent states that M. Lienart. having won over £ 20,000, has given k400 to different charitable institutions. in- cluding a donation to the Jockeys' Hospital, Chant-illy. Although still weak, Mr. Robert I'Anson. whose illness has been much regretted by a wide circle of racing acquaintances, makes fair progress. His eldest son is now a licensed official. and performed the duties of judge and clerk of the scales at the Ports- mouth Meeting on Saturday. J. Mathews stands at the head of the list of winning jockeys in Belgium on the flat. He is followed in order by Arthur Ellis, J. Stanton, J. Hanson, Skipp. Forrest. Baines, BetBon. and Heapy. The accident the latter met with prevented him this year from occu- pying a more prominent position. La ughing Girl (aged). by Esterling-Fun. ended her career by staking herself so badly, while jumping hurdles a day or two ago at Foxhill. that she had to be destroyed. Originally an inmate of John Osborne's stable at Middleham. she performed so well in the early part of her career that Mr. F. G. Menzies paid a stiff figure for her. Shortly after joining W. T. Robinson's team, however, she was overtaken by a serious illness, from which she never thoroughly recovered. Of late she had been an inmate of N. Robinson's estab- lishment. but her first appearance over timber at Birmingham last month was anything but auspicious, as the mare came down at the first jump. The new Manchester racecourse will be at, Castle Irwell, where from next Easter racing will take place instead of at New Barnes as heretofore, the latter having been acquired for the Ship Canal extensions. The land for the new course, which cost £ 42,000, was purchased some three years ago as being the best possible site for racing purposes in the neighbourhood. It is situated in a picturesque portion of Sal- ford. being overlooked by Broughton Cliff. which forms a pleasing outlook from ihe stands and background to the course. The formation of the running-tracks is now com- pleted. having been in hand for the past eigh- teen months, a feature of it being that both turns are banked up. The River Irwell bounds the race-track to the north and ieafet. The flat race-course is one mile and three-quarters round, and has a six-furlong straight. A sepa- rate track for steeple-chasing and yet a third for hurdle-racing are being laid out. with rails 4ft. high all round. The entire cost of equip- ment of stands amounts to £ 120.000 (club stand not included in this sum). They make a highly-imposing edifice, consisting of the offi- cial block. club-stand, Tattersall's. and three cheaper stands. There is, in addition, a covered ride in the paddock. and an ambu- lance-room with every modern convenience. Stables to accommodate about 250 horses are situate some distance from the stands, away from all noise and excitement. Water has been laid right up to them. so that. so far as foresight can arrange, they may be guarded against fire.
