THE LONDON AND GLOBE CLAIM. In the King's Bench on Monday the hearing resumed of the action by the liquidator of the London and Globe Finance Corporation a-gainst Messrs. Basil Montgomery and Co. and others to recover damages, amounting to about one million pounds, for alleged breach Df agreement. Mr. Asquith, continuing his opening address for the defence, submitted that there was no evidence to justify the allee-ation that the failure of the London and Globe waa due to the conduct of the defendants, who carried out their obligations to the letter. Mr. Eugus Isaacs followed, comment- upon the fact that a case which had been set out in the pleadings one of conspiracy and fraud had dwindled down to one of breach of contract, upon which any two men might honestly differ Without any reflection upon their honour. He submitted that there was no undertaking on behalf of the defendants to find a million of raoney. The case was again adjourned.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. THEATRE ROYAL, CARDIFF. Max Goldberg's drama. The Rich and Poor of London." in the hands of Messrs. John F Preston and Patrick E. Doherty's powerfu company at the Theatre Royal, Cardiff, on Monday night had from a crowded house a very hearty reception. The drama abound? with striking incidents and emotional scenes and the scenery is most effective. The interest of the piece centres about the per- sonality of "Leadrift." a disinherited heiress; and the caste includes a crafty lawyer, a generous doctor, and a fascinating hospital nurse. It is a story of real City life. in fact with heroes in it in the humbler walks of life and upper-class villains. On the comedy side there is fun, exhilarating and without stint. GRAND THEATitE, CARDIFF. .The Grand Theatre, Cardiff, was crowded on Monday night for the return visit of Dion Boucicault's "The Streets of London." The same piece had been presented twice beforr at the Westgate-street theatre, but never with so much acceptance as on this occasion, by Mr. J. W- Carson's company. The leading role of "Badger" was taken by Mr. Carson who waa admirably supported by Mr. Harry Reynolds as "Bloodgood," and, in fact. by the whole dramatis pereonee. in which there was not a single weak part. THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. Out of a number of first-class turns at the Cardiff Empire this week that given by Lud- wig Amann is certainly one of the most clever as well as entertaining. Without the aid of paint or powder, or any acceesoriep beyond an occasional change of clothing and the necessary wig or moustache, he produepf by his wonderful facial expressions life-like likenesses of the most prominent persons iT, the present and previous generations. The types which he represenite are of the most varying character—Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington; Bismarck and Gladstone; Cecil Rhodes and Kruger. as instaneec-and all are so well done that the audience can have no doubt of the person intended without any announcement from the stage. When at the close he repre- sents the King the appearance of his Majesty is hailed with cheers. The changes are very rapidly made. and so delighted were the audiences on Monday night that several addi- tional characters were called for and readily given. Turning to the more comical side of the programme Zarmo, although coming at the end. had a good reception. In addition to being a clever juggler, be occasionally gives the show away." as it were, the result being a burst of laughter. George Formby's make-up is laughable, but his songs are even more so, and he had to make a third appear- ance after an almost irresistible encore. Lily Langtry is as sprightly as ever, and is always a. favourite at Cardiff. The way she gives her experience of a barmaid's night out and a visit to a country fair would be hard. if not impossible, to beat. The Sisters Phillips and Brothers Lorenzi s experience on the "Saucy Skipper cannot fail to cause abundance of laughter. The young ladies sing and dance prettily, while the Brothers put in some new and very amusing knock-about badness. Some cha-rming- music is produced out of xylophone* by the Vernon Troupe, and Gladys Mavius proves a crisp vocalist and grotesque dancer. In addition there are Dnnning's puppets, in which the performer shows that' he is a skilled ventriloquist, and Kahn and Kahn are experts in parlour magic. >

OUR FISCAL SYSTEM. Important Debate in the Commons. NO NEW TAXES AGAINST THE FOREIGNER. The House of Commons on Monday evening went into Committee on the Finance Bill. On Clause 1, which autboriaed the duty on grain, Sir HENRY FOWLER moved the postpone- ment of the olause, explaining that he took this course in consequence of what he regarded as the unfortunate procedure adopted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in regard to what must be called his supple- mentary Budget. They ought to know how the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed to spend the large sum of money which the House had voted in anticipation of a possible continuation of a state of war. but which would not now be reouired for that purpose. Although there was to be peace, it now seemed that the Chancellor would require the whole of forty millions for closing the war. The Chancellor was at variance with the Consti- tutional principles of the House. There had been no estimate of this expenditure placed before the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQBTJB said the chief reason for proposing the post- ponement of the claAse seemed to be that the right hon. gentleman wanted to know how the Government proposed to spend the 28 millions saved out of the 40 millions taken for war expenditure on the last Budget. He (the Chancellor) had already explained that the money was needed for certain military purposes, including the maintenance for a longer period than had been anticipated of the population in the concentration camps. The Budget Bill proposals were always voted long before many of the Estimates were before the House. There was expenditure in connec- tion with the close of the war which must be incurred. Sir William Harcourt had suggested that the proposed new taxes, which had already been sanctioned by the House of Com- mons, should be dispensed with, and that the House should devote borrowed money towards the reduction of taxation. He (Sir Michael) declined to take that course. (Ministerial cheeire.) He was surprised that such a. sugges- tion should have come from Sir W. Harcourt, and should have been supported by no less an authority than Sir H. Fowler. Those gentlemen had for the last three years been denouncing him because he did not raise enough money from taxation and raised too much by borrowing for the purposes of the war. He was astounded that they should turn round in this kind of way. (Ministerial cheers.) Their real objection was to one par- ticular tax which he proposed to levy for that purpose. Then let the hon. gentlemen oppo- site have the fight out with him (loud Minis- terial cheers)—instead of making this dilatory and obstructive motion. (Loud Ministerial cheers.) Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT said that any- thing more unsatisfactory, unreasonable, and more contrary to the fundamental principle of finance than the attitude of the Chancellor could not be conceived. The declaration of peace made it necessary that the Budget should be altered. The only defence of the corn tax was a condition of war, and the Colonial Secretary, indeed, went down to Birmingham and declared that it was a. war tax. They went down to the dregs of taxation when they proposed to tax the food of the people, and it was only the necessity of war which could justify the imposition of such a tax. (Opposition cheers.) Under the exist- ing condition of things there would be a large unappropriated surplus in the hands of the Executive, and there was no worse finance than to allow that. The Government really ought to bring forward a new Budget. (Oppo- sition cheers.) The House divided, and there voted:- Against the amendment 264 For 176 Government majority 88 Mr. CHANNING next proposed to limit the imposition of the grain-tax to one year. It would then. he said, be open to revision by Parliament every year, in the same way as were the tea duty and Income-tax. Sir WM. HARCOURT desired to ascertain from the right hon. gentleman the correct character of the tax. It was introduced as a permanent tax, which was not a war duty, and was not intended to be a. war duty. It was introduced as an attempt to broaden the basis of taxation, quite irrespective of the war. That, at least, was the impression left upon the House by the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. But then the Colonial Secretary had gone down to Birmingham immediately afterwards, and had stated exactly the opposite. Was it then said that the argument in favour of the tax was that it waa a, war tax? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER: Yes. Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT: Then why does it not cease with the war? (Opposition cheers.) But the Colonial Secretary had also. recom- mended the tax upon the ground that it would enable him to negotiate preferential duties with the Colonies. (Ministerial cheers.) Sir M. HICKS-BEACH said that any member of the House on the Budget Bill each year could move the abolition or repeal of any of the taxes. Therefore, the House retained entire control over the continuance of any tax. But he (the Chancellor of the Exche- quer) should certainly oppose the limitation ,)f this corn duty to one year, just as he had opposed the limitation of the coal duty or the -quga.r duty to one year. It would leave- everybody uncertain as to the future. Such had been the growth of our national expendi- ture during the past few years, and such was likely to be its continuance under any Administration, that it was absolutely neces- sary to increase the basis of our indirect, taxa- tion He knew that some members had suggested that we should impose a duty upon foreign nations in order to give preferential kreatment. to the Colonies. That was not the oolicy of his Majesty's Government, but it was their policy to do what they could to make trade between ourselves and our Colonies freer, in order, as the Government believed, to promote the beat relations between our Colonies and ourselves. He hoped that the discussion with the representatives of the Colonies would have good results, but the House might rest assured that it was only on account of the necessity of revenue in this and future years that he had submitted this duty. (Cheers.) Mr. M'KENNA (R., Monmouth, X.) pointed out that during the last 50 years the trade of this great Empire had been built up by Free Trade until now we enjoyed the most gigantic trade ever known. The carrying trade of the world was done by us, and we took a toll on nearly all the goods that crossed the seas. There was scarcely a busi- ness transaction carried on. from China to Peru. in which some British firm or other did not get a profit. What proof had Mr. Lowther that we should do better under Protection? (Opposition cheers.) t Mr. LOWTHER: The United States. Mr. M'KENNA contended that as to popula- tion, education, and industry there was no comparison. We had the experience of 50 years behind us. (Hear, hear.) He under- stood that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would make the corn-tax » permanent tax in view of the growing taxation, and yet he told the House he was going to reduce the Income-tax. (Opposition cheers.) Mr. ABEL THOMAS (R.. Carmarthen. E.) said that he was quite certain that every man who bought a hundredweight of flour would have to pay 5d. more. and that when be had baked that flour the consumer would have to pay something more than the 5d. The hon. member for Oldham (Mr. W. Churchill) wanted to start fair next year as regards the ratio of direct and indirect taxation. He did not remember that the tea-tax and Income-tax were annual taxes, whilst the other,taxes were permanent. Therefore, if the amendment were carried it would leave the corn duty on the same basis as the tea-tax and the Income- tax, and they would be able to discuss them next year on the same footing. Even for those who believed in the zollverein principle it would be advisable that the duty should be made an annnal, and not a permanent, tax, as it would be so much more easy to deal with the subject next year. Personally, he believed it to be about as abominable a tax as had ever been put on the people of the country, because it was the poorest families who would have to pay the most in hard cash. (Hear, hear.) The House divided, and there voted- For the amendment 173 Against 236 Government majority 63 The smallness of the Government majority was greeted with loud Opposition cheers. Mr. KEARLEY (R., Devonport) moved an amendment that no grain or flour not men- tioned in the schedule should be taxed. Mr. Kearley eventually withdrew his amend- ment. Mr. FLYNN (N., Cork, N.) moved to exempt Ireland from this duty. « The amendment was rejected by 153 to 54. Progress was reported. MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S RETICENCE. At an earlier stage, Mr. D. A. THOMAS (R., Jferthyr Tydfil) asked ths Colonial Secretary whether he could give an assurance that, should definite proposals upon which the Colonies might be generally agreed be submitted to his Majesty's Govern- ment in favour of the establishment of a system of mutual trade preference within the Empire, the House of Commons would be con- sulted before the Government was committed by any expression of approval to such a policy. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN: I am unable to give an answer to a. hypothetical question..

There is a good deal bigger bill this week at the Newport Empire than usnal. the star turns being very numerous. The bioscope pictures of the funeral of Mr. £ ecil Rhodes show the gorgeous cavalcade at St. George's Cathedral, Cape Town, the passage through the streets, and the sepulchre on the Motoppo Hills. The Home Bros. Troupe in sketches of London life and comic pugilism, which have been the delight of the halls for some years past, are here again with all their rollicking fun. Cliff Berzac has a, clever circus turn with trained ponies on a great revolving table. The unrideable donkey, "Kruger," is a master- pi-ece of obstinacy. The Wheelers in their amusing and clever cycling episodes are delightful. The Three Sisters Macarte do a wonderful performance with magic slides on wire held by the teeth.

MINISTER DIVORCED. Eloped with Servant Girl. FOUND LIVING WITH HER IN NEW YORK. In tOO Court of Session, Edinburgh, Lord Low granted a decree against the Rev. Alexander Kettle, at one time minister of the English Presbyterian Church, High-street, Whitehaven. Mrs. Kettle, tke petitioner, said she married her husband, who was then a divinity student, in Gkugow, in 1881. but it was not until three years later that they took up ItonBe at Whitehaven, where they remained until 1388, when he had to resign his charge owing to hairing got into financial difficulties. While at Whitehaven they tod a. servant with them named Sarah Vaughao, but at that time Mrs. Kettle did not notice any familiarities between her husband and the servant. Her husband shortly afterwards went to New York, promising to send for her when he had im- proved his position. Be. however, failed to do so. and ke had only sent her two dollars since he left. A year after he left he ceased to write, and from a. letter addressed to him by the Carlisle Presbytery, in response to an application for a transfer, she learned of his connection with the girl Vaaghan. Subse- quently two friends of tke petitioner called upon Kettle in New York, where they found him living with a woman whom they at once I recognised as the servant Vaughan. Kettle at first denied the charge, bat afterwards admitted it.

TRADEAND SHIPPING, Local Charterings. CAjRDIFF. EXCHANGE, Monday. Change was well attended, and the market for steam coal was very firm, both tor prompt and future shipment. Best large was firmly held at 16a 3d. and best seconds at 15s 3d. while drys ranged from 13s 6d to 13s 9d per ton. Small steams were in steady request; there, however, appeared to be more coal about, and compared with recent prices the market was easier. The house coal trade was quiet in all departments. Patent fuel manufacturers' quotations were unaltered- In the coke trade an average inquiry was reported, and the pitvood market was steady at last figures. Closing prioea:-Best steam coal 16e to 16s 3d, seconds 14a 9d to 15s 3d. and drys 138 6d to 13s 9d; best small 8s to 8s 3d. seconds 7s 3d to 7s 6d, and inferior sorts from 6a 6d; best Mon- mouthshire large 138 6d to 13s 9d, and seconds 128 to 128 6d; best small 7s to 7s 3d, and seconds 6s to 6s 3d; best household large 15s to 15s 6d, seconds Us 6d to 14s; No. 3 Rhondda large 14s 3d to 14s 6d, brash lis 9d to 12s 3d, and small 9e to 9b 6d; No. 2 Rhondda large 103 6d, through and through 88 6d to 9s 6d, and small 6s 6d; patent fuel 158 to 16s, according to brand; special foundry coke 23s to 23a 6d. good foundry 20s to 22s, and furnace 17s to 19s per ton; pitwood 198 to 19e 6d per ton ex ship; iron ore-Rumo 14s 3d to 14s 6d, Tafna 15s to 158 6d. and Almeria 14s 3d to 148 6d per ton, Cardiff or Newport.

LADY WIMBORNE EXPLAINS, Lady Wimborne saye she hae been much troubled during the past fortnight by the statements which have appeared in several papers, that sh ehad at a. recent meeting at Bridport said that ather DoUing had been received into the Chuch of Rome. Her lady- ship adds: "It is notoriously difficult to stop the circulation of a slander when once it hag obtained a fair start, but may I appeal to you to allow me to say that, not only did I never make any such statement, but that when I spoke at Bridport on April 16 Father Dolling was not even in my thoughts. The person I mentioned as having been received' into the Church of Rome was Dr. Lee, a fact well attested in the public press. As soon as I heard of the erroneous report I 'wrote to the editor of the "Dorset County Chronicle," in which paper it had appeared, and requested him to correct it. This correction appeared in the issue of May 8. I trust this denial will set the matter at rest."

KEMPTOfc PARK TWO YEAR OLD PLATE JUNE MEETING. 1HB OBJECTION TO &JLLUT*. 1HB OBJECTION TO SALUTJL The stewards of Kempton disqualify the winner of this race for carrying the wrong weight, as the 31b. breeding allowance wae not claimed for Salute at the time of entry. No horse was plaoed fmrth. (8ipecl) THE OBJECTION TO FLATUS. The stewards of the Jockey Club having referred the appeal on the Flaros cace to a general maeting of the Jockey Club, it was decided to uphold tbfc decteioD at the York stewards.

SPORT OF THE DAY. J. H. Martin is said to have received a most complimentary letter from Mr. John Gab bins, enclosing- a cheque for JS600. for winning the Derby on Ard Patriek. Young Victor, in the Weir Ocmrtenay Plate at Iingfteld to-day. should be entered as t Master Victor. Mr. T. Worton has paid the J ES necessary to correct the entry, under Bole 83. M. Abeille's filly La Camargo may be con- sidered a. certain starter for the Ascot Gold Cup. and in consequence she will not ran in the Grand Prix de Paris, to be decided next Sunday. Santoi, who won the Coronation Commemo- ration Stakes at Kempton Parlt on Saturday, showed aonsiderable temper before going to the poet, and in the raoe wore blinkers for the first time. The "gate" takings at Anteail on Sunday, on the oocasion of the race for the Grand Steeplechase de Paris, were £ 10,400, and the ¡ clearings over the "mutuels" amounted to 3.000.000 franca ( £ 120,000). Sheeniess will probably represent the Alfris- ton stable in the Ascot Stakes, with Wargrave performing in the Boyal Hunt Cup, and it is probable that in both events T. U Miller, who rode Squire Jack at York, will be the rider, and t&ke the apprentice allowance. All Mr. landemere's horses will leave Ber- wick St. John shortly for other quarters. The stables at Berwick St. John and most of the gallops belong to the Feme estate. which baa been sold to a North Country gentleman, and the stables are required.
