The ("jer Constable said that ac :ording to the Police Act. of 1890, the. powe cf the Committee in regard to calling in d from other cc unties could be delegated by the Cemmiti cl to the, Chief Const abb The Ccmmitt -e under that clause delega ed their power t> the Chief Constable, with the pro- vision ti at he was to obtain the lssout of the Cha 'man and the Clerk to an/thing he might d. in the matter el obtai.Miig extra police.

Menzics: Then we need not bother any more about it. Mr J. Jones Morri-, said the Chairman of th" P-l:.co Committee o*i the occasion in question was away in Manchester, and only got a w re of a few words ou the matter, so ttat he heard rictriiii,, of the military being called ii.. He scarcely thought it was fair to the C hnirman to a.sk him to give his con- sent. without, disclosing all that the Chief Coastal o had done. Colc.,o-I Ruck said that had he had nil the Bri i-h Army at his back he would still have required; the extra police. The nu tt- ary er only intended to back up the police. Mr Jones Morris: If the Chairman was fully aware of all the circumstances, the question is whether he would have givjn his consent. The Chief Constable added that ho had some difficulty in finding the Chairman. Luckily he was able to get the Chairman's address over the tctephono from Penmaen- uaawr. Mr J. E. Greaves said it was clear that Colonel Ruck was in order. Mr J. Meimes moved aud Mr H. Knee- shaw seconded that the bills in question be paid. This was ultimately carried unani- mously. LETTER FROjI MR YOrXG. The Chainna-n said he thought that was I 9 convenient time to call attention to a. letter which the Chief Constable had re- ceived iil regard to the Penrhyn business from Mr E. A. Young. It was not marked private.a-nd he (the Chairman) could under- staud that the Chief Constable was placed in a difficulty. He was anxious to do what was right, and he felt that as long as cer- tain circumstances obtahied in th B 'th- escia district that particular district, was a mcnr.ce to the peace cr the whole county. The letter, dated January 31st, was as fol- lows I "'Colonel Ruck, Carnarvon. — Dear sir, — In view of the probability of my dc-ciding shortly to restart work witn some of the iate officials as quarrymen, accompanied by other workmen'who wish to work but are at present afraid to do so, I may soon have to call upon you to give ample protection to each individual workman both at his home I and cu his way to and from work.—Yours truly, E. A. YOUNG." F, 01, The Chairman said that Colonel Ruck had been kind enough to show him that letter, and he asked the Clerk's advice upon w. The Clerk was cf opinion that it was not the duty of the Chief Constable to provide policemen to chaperon the work- men to and from the quarry and to look after them at night for any lengthened period. He did not quite know whether the Police Committee had very much to do with tfcei matter. Still, they would be in- terested in having this information, and would have an opportunity of expressing their opinion thereon. Mr W. J. Parry moved, without any re- marks, that the letter be left Oil the table, .nd that Mr Young should take the respon- sibility himself of any action of that aort I that he might take. The Chief Constable said that on the re- ceipt of the letter two days ago he felt it was question for the magistrates to de. l with and as there happened to be a meet- ing of the bench that day at Bangor he went down and placed it before them. He told them it was advisable to summon a full meeting to consider it. It was sug- gested that in the meantime he should ask Mr loung to state what reason he had ior supposing that his workmen would be molested. He wrote to Mr \ouug to that effect, and had not yet had an answer. Al- though. he considered that the ni«* er >*a.s one for the, magistrates to deal with, as st hau reference to the preservation oi th; peace, he also thought it onv as to which he should1 taiv the Committee into his con- fidence, as he was placed in rather a ditti- cult position between the magistrates aud t.-ho Committee. The Chairman You feel you are between the devil and the deep blue sea? (laughter). Mr J. E. Greaves It is clear that the matter rests with the magistrates. I Asked RS to the legal pof;itioil, the ( lerk (Mr J. H. Bodvel Roberts) said if there I trere a. riot the Chief Constable would se- cure a. force necessary to deal with it. It ¡' was no matter for a bargain between Mr Young and the Chief Constable, who would act according to hiq judgment. MrW. A. Darbishire said Mr Young re- ferred not so much to rioting as to molesta- tion SlieD as would be an ordinary offence in case' of a strike. Mr Young ought to understand that he would never make the qaBOTjr pny in that way (npplause). I Mr J. Issard Dave's said that Colonel Ruck had been abused like o pickpocket for not. consulting the Committee, and now, when he consulted the Committee, he was toid that it rested with: him (''No, no"). Well, the Committee told Colonel Rack the matter rested witn the Bangor justices and himself. Colonel Ruck had put tho mat- ter before them in courtesy to the Com- mittee, anS there was no need to pass anT- resolution on the subject. Mr W. J. Parry was quite prepare). to w ithdraw if no notice was to be taken cf tho* better. "The Rev J. Hughes moved that they pass on Lo the next business. Mr D. JL\ Williams thought it proper that Colonel Ruck should have laid the letter before them. Mr R- Hughes (Llanfairfechan) said he was afraid the letter was only a counterpart of other letters which might have been re- ceived from the tame gentleman. Mr J. R. Pritchard, alluding to Mr Is- sard Da vies's remarks, said he had only blamed Colonel Ruck for bringing in the j military force before the power of the police had been tried. He still held the same opinion on that point. The subject then dropped. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FURTHER DISTURBANCES, l'he Committee proceeded to consider the question cf hew to act in cases of simi- lar emergency to that which arose in con- nection with the la to disturbance at the Penrayn quarry, which was left over from the special meeting. Mr Jones Morris inovect that before any extra police- are em- ployed in the county the Chief Constable should consult the Chairman of the Police Committee and the four ex-chairmen, Mr W. J. Parry, Captain Stewart, Cel. Wynne Kmch, and Mr b. P. Wiiliams, the Com- mittee to have a quorum of three. Replying to the Clerk, Mr Jones Morris said it would be, in order to summon the Committee by telegram in case of neces- sity. in order that the Committee might all r side near Carnarvon, Mr Pritchard sub- stituted the name of the Lord Lieutenant <.V!i- Greaves) for Colonel Wynne Finch. Mr Greaves thought it wiser to leave the matter in. the discretion of the Chief Con- stable, after consultation with the Chair- man and Clerk as at present. The Clerk If the Chief Constable tells the Clerk a thing is necessary, I am afraid the Clerk must say "ves." The Chairman And the Chairman is in very much the same position. Mr Kneeshaw: We cannot relieve the Chief Constable of his responsibility- Mr J. R. Prichard seconded the motion. All the gentlemen had experience of the county and cf the business cf the Commit- tee, and the Chief Constable would get bet- ter advice, perhaps, from them than that which he acted upon in the Penrhjn mat- ter. The discussion was continued by Mr John Hughes, Portdinorwie, Mr R. M. Greaves, Mr Mcnzies, and others. Replying to various inquiries, Mr J. J. Morris explained that the Committee would consist of five members, throe to form a quorum. Mr J. F. Greaves was strongly cf opinion that if the resolution was adopted it wouid be most ur.fair to the Chief Constable. Mr \V J. Parry explained that the Chief Constable's position would be pre- cisely as it was on the last occasion. On that occasion the Chief Constable had con- sulted certain persons whose names had not been dise.osed to the Committee, and had presumab.y acted on their representa- tion. Instead of unknown and irrespon- sible persons, this resolution supplied the Chief Constable with a committee posses- sing the full ecnfideuce cf the Police Com- mittee. Mr J. R. Pritchard and "Mr D. P. Wil- liams strongly* supported Mr W. J. Parry's views. After some discussion, the motion was carried by a large majority, the only dis- sentients being Mr J. Issard Davies, Mr J. Menzies, Mr lviiceshaw, Mr J. E. Greaves, I and Mr W. A. Darbishire. The Lord Lieutenant declining to act en that Committee, the name of Mr J. Jones Morris was substituted for that of Mr J. E. Greaves. A BETIIESDA POLICE OFFICER COMPLIM ENTED. Mr W. 3. Parry had given notice of a motion to the following effect: "That this Committee hereby records its approval of the conduct of Police Sergeant T. Owen for the manner in which he performed his duties during the disturbance at the Pcn- rhyn Quarry, and for his undertaking to execute h" warrants without the aid cf the milita.r" Before the motion was moved, Mr J. Is- sard Davic.s asked the Chairman s ruling on the question whether such a motion was in order. He thought the proper way would have been to bring such a matter before the Committee through the Chief Con- stable. Otherwise it would be subversive of all discipl'ne. Mr Parry explained that the circum- stances were exceptional. The intention was to serve the warrants through the aid of the military. Sergeant Owen offered to serve the warrants himself and to bring the men to Bangor this he did. They cculd not say how much the county had been saved hv Sergeant Owen's action. The Chairman ruled the motion to he in order. The Chief Constable, on bein<* appealed to, said that Sergeant Owen had undoubt- edly shown great tact and discretion. T e would have referred to it in the reperl, if the Penrhyn trouble had lveen quite over. Unfortunately, as had been seen by what had transpired that day, the Penrhyn Quarry incident could not yet ba regarded as quite closed. Mr W. A. Darbishire supported Mr Is- sard Davies's views. Sergeant Owen had only performed his duty in doing what he did. ,;¡ir Brymer thought that under the ex- ceptional circumstances oi" the case the I special approval of the action of Sergeant )wen by the Police Committoe should ap- k ?ar in the records of the Committee. Mr Lssard Davies said in view cf what I"e Chief Constable had said he thought the Committee might record a unanimous vote. | The motion was then put and unauimous- j Ir agreed to.

IA North Waies Law Suit.
A North Waies Law Suit. Before Mr Justice Mathew, sitting with- out a. jury in the King's Bench Division on Saturday, the, part heard case of Hughes v. Williams was concluded. It was a 'Cl"e in which the parties, who both belong to Pen- niaenmawr, Carnarvonshire, had a dispute about the tenancy of an hotel, the licence of which had been dealt with by the magis- trates. Th9 plaintiff. Mr C. P.'W. Hughes, the owner, sought to recover possession of the hotel, which is situated in High street, Pcnmaenmawir. Thy defendant claimed that he was. entitled to continue the tenancy under a. lease that had been nromise.d. or under the remainder of lease granted ~cu J his father. A good deal of e vide ne'e was given as to repairs and improvements which had been carried out by the tenants during a term of years, and after hearing this his Lordship suggested a private conference with counsel in his room. An adj ournmen t accordingly took place, and on the return of counsel, Mr Tindlal Atkinson, who repre- sented the defendant, said lie was glad to state that through the kind intervention of the. learnedi Judge, it had been agreed to grant the defendant a new lease for the un- expired term cf the original lease, with its covenants, at £ 5 per annum. His Lcrdship said tho plaintiff hoO acted with great generosity, but at the same timet he could give him no costs as against tne defendant. Mr Hansell was counsel for the plaintiff.

Metropolitan Bank of England…
Metropolitan Bank of England and Wales Limited. ANNUAL MNiETING. The thirty-fifth ordinary meeting of shareholders was held at the Great Western Hotel, Birmingham, on Thursday last, un- der the presidency of Mr Alfred Baldwin, M.P., chairman of the Directors. A large number of shareholders were present. The Chairman: We meet here to-day under the shadow of a national calamity. The death of the Queen is the predominant thought, in the minds of us all, and words are ineffectual to express the sense of our deep loss. Our deepest sympathy is with King Edward Vil. and the Royal Family, and we can only hope that, with God's bles- sing, the British FTnpire may prosper ui the future as greatly it has done un- der the long and beneficent -ule of Queen Victoria (hear, hear). In the few further words which I shall address, to you to-day, f I shall confine myself strictly to the busi-. ness of the Bank. I am sorry to announce the absence of two of our Directors—Lord Ernest Seymour, who is ill with typhoid fever, happily of a mild type, and Sir Tho- p mas Let who is still suffering frcm the effects of a long and dangerous illness. I am sure you will all join with me in wish- ing a speedy restoration to health of these two Directors, (hear, hear). With a view to strengthening the Bank in its Birming- ham connection we have elected to a seat on the Board my friend Mr. Wilfred Wil- liams, and we ask you to-day to confirm his election. We believe this appointment is in the best interests of the Bank, and I would remind you that Mr. Williams is not entirely new to banking life, because he was for a short time a director cf the old Birmingham Joint Stock Bank, before it was absorbed by our friends and neigh- bours—Lloyds. The net profit for the past year amounts to f 90,053 8s. 10d., be- ing, as you will see, almost identical with the profits of the previous year. The in- come-tax paid for Shareholders shows an increase of some jEl,200, and no doubt will show a further increase when our accounts are next presented. The Bank Premises Account shows ah increase which the Directors regret, but so long as the policy of increasing branches is adopted by other banks, we are bound to follow in the same direction. Part of the outlay has been in- curred in increasing the accommodation at the London offices, and at Bennett's Hill, and in both cases tho outlay was in our opinion indispensable, if the increased business of the Bank was to be properly carried on. Acting on the powers conferred by the Board in clause No. 88 of the Ar- ticles of Association, your directors have applied the sum of .t:250 to the Officers' Pension Fund. This will make the amount already in hand for the foundation of this fund £ 5,000. The sum of £ 2,750. which makes up the £ 5,000, is part of a sum of money, with interest, which the Shareholders some years ago, long before my connection with the Bank, wished the Directors to appropriate for the benefit of the staff. Part of that was paid as an im- mediate bcnus, and part was left to accu- mulate. It has always been the practice of this Bank to pension its old officers, but we think that a proper Officers' Pen- sion Fund is a most important adjunct of the work of the Bank, and in taking this step we know that it will be popular with the staff, and, further, that it will enable the Directors to deal more easily with eases of retirement as they arise. We do not pledge ourselves to the exact amount which we shall appropriate year by year to this fund, but we certainly consider a regular appropriation will be part of the future policy of the Board. The Board have also placed in further reduction of Goodwills Account £ 20,000, thereby reduc- ing its balance to £40,000. One of the most satisfactory features in the balance sheet is the large increase in the amount of our deposits, which is not less than £ 700,0(H). The Capital and Guarantee Fund remain the same as in previous years. The cash in hand and at call shows a grati- fying increase of over £ 101,000. Tho amount due to the Bank on curent ac- counts is tl25,000 in excess of the amount due last year. The accounts forming this total, in addition to the thorough inspec- tion by the Officers of the Bank, have been enquired into by the Directors and scruti- nised by your Auditors, and we believe this to be a sound and good item. I would draw your attention to the certificate of the Auditors, and you will see that it has been drawn in accordance with the require- ments of the new Companies Act. I hope you will also note that your Auditors have visited all the branches of the Bank, and have not been satisfied merely with the re- ports of the Bank's Officers. In conclus- ion, I would like to remind the Sharehold- ers that we are bound to face, in th- new year, diminished trade, and necessarily in- creased taxation; and that diminished trade and increased taxation cannot be without their effects when we present our balance sheet in 1902. Mr Morgan B. Williams I beg to se- cond the resolution. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Francis Grazebrcck: I have great pleasure in proposing "That Mr. Walter Evers Warden, who retires to-day, be re- appointed a Director of this Bank." r THie Chairman: I have to second that resolution. The motion was then agreed r_l to. Mr. Walter- Evers Warden said in re- ply I have again to thank you for the honour you have done me in re-electing me a Director, and I can assure you that at all times I shall do tho very best I can to for- ward the interests of the Bank. Gentle- men, I thank you. The Chairman next, moved: "That Mr. Charles H. Williams be re-elected a Direct- or of the Bank." Mr Vincent Jackson, the seconder of the resolution, said May I ask a question be- fore I second this resolution. You, Mr. Chairman, referred to the Officers' Pension Fund, which now stands at £ 5,000: do the Officers of the Bank at all contribute to the F und ? The- Chairman No. Messrs. Walter Evers Warden, Charles H. Williams, and Morgan B. Williams, were re-elected Directors of the Bank, and the apointment cf Mr. Wilfred Williams was confirmed. Messrs Torquand, Youngs & Co., < b.<r- teied Account ants, were re-elected the auditors of the Bank. Mr Morgan B. William? proposed a vote of thanks to the officers of the Bank lcr the then zealous attention to tlir- business cf the company, and this was responded to appropriately by Mr Nash, the general manager. After passing a hearty rote of thanks to the chairman, Mr Alfred Baldwin, >I.i., and the directors cf the Bank, the proceed- ings terminated.

The Thoughts of Martha Sparklns.
The Thoughts of Martha Sparklns. We were very much obliged to Mr J. P. Welkins hand Miss Griffith, the Master hc-nd Matron of Pwdtheli Workhouse, for being so battentivc hand kiud to hus when visiting the 'cuse. Hit was heasv to hot serve that Miss Griffith 'ad) been ha hot-serve that Miss Griffith 'ad been ha long time hin Hengland. She was more conversant hin Henglish than hin Welsh. Ratepayers hare hindebted to such hexoel- lent hofficials has these, hand they bought, to pay em well. When Sparking 'card me saying this, 'e replied, "Quite right, Martha, quite right; but you would not 'ave to pay the money. We men would 'ave to go to hour pockets to meet the hinereased hexpenscs, has we hare the great tinancial providers." ''Yes, to some hextent," said hi, "but We women must look hafter you men, hor goodness knows what would oe- Vinf ùU." We got to the street. Sparkins met han hold hacquaint-ancc hin. the person hot Mr Owen Francis, who, has ha man-'o- warsman, was licut hin the, war between Hengland hand Russia.. They himmedi- ately began to speak habout hold times with the greatest hinterest. "Hare you still True Blue?" queried Sparkins. 'To the core" was Mr Francis's hanswe". "Hand you hare too, hi suppose ?" Mr Fran- cis put hin. "Ho, ves," said Sparkins, "hi stick hup for the British Constitution." "'Ow habout the Misses now? His she still hail hold Radical?' "Yes, just the same. She goes hin for Lloyd George, hand Bryn Roberts hand them Radicals." "Ah. the Radicals! The hold Radicals! A nice lot they hare! They wants to break hup the British Constitution, they do, the j hold Radicals!" To speak to the two was huseless. So hi said nothing to em, but simply looked hon commiseratinglv, thinking hin myself that ) the two were remnants hof hancient times hand customs, when the parson hand the squire ruled supreme hin the land. There was standing hin front hof ha house the hother side hof the road a fine specimen hof a man, hand bparkins spoke to 'im. "What his this hestablishment? j haskNli Sparkins. "Hit's my 'ouse, sir," spoke the gentleman, with surprised looks, "Hi mean that there place by the side hof j the 'ouse?" "Oh, that belongs to the nursery." "You let your children there to play?" "No, sir, no; we hare nursery- men,-we sell plants, trees, hand hevery- thing hin that line, sir." "Ho, hi hunder- stand now. 'Ave you a gooseberry tree r' "Yes, sir, hall sorts hof fruit trees." Spar- kins turned to mse 'hand said, Martha, don't you think we 'ad better get some trees for hour lawn hand back kitchen warden?"

WHY I AM WELL I It A LADY'S CANDID AMD INTERESTING SXPIxAN.ITICK. Miss ROSE WALLIS is A bright, intelligent young lady of eighteen, living with her father at 6T, Thompson Street, Barry Dock, South Wales. To a reporter of the Western Mail she willingly recited her experience of Intiucuza and its after-affects. In her case the insidious complaint developed into Aneernia and general weakness. She explained I suffered with dreadful sensations of weakness, languor, and shortness of breath, and it was irksome for me to take a walk, or even go up and down stairs. Whenever I exerted myself in the least the weakness overcame me, and I was compelled to rest for a time. Often when I lay down at nighr I suffered e exceedingly from acute pains in my body, as well as from the weakness, and, when I was not in pain, sleeplessness worried me and made the night seem endless. My father became very anxious about me, especially when various medicines were taken without doing me the slightest good. Then a friend strongly recommended Dr. Wiiliams' Pink Pills for Pale People and gave me a few to try. I could feel that even those few pills did me good. They drove oft the dreadfully oppressive and melancholy feeling, so I obtained a further supply. After using the first box I felt very much better in general health, and got relief from sleeplessness. I felt very much stronger, and better able to walk, and my father was delighted at the visible improvement in me. I had taken many medicines before, but I could not get relief until my friend asked me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Now I am strong enough to look after the household work and enjoy a walk, while I can rest and sleep well at night. I can honestly say that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured me, so that I do not need any more. As I continued with the pilis I gradually began to regain strength, enjoy my food, outdoor exercise, and the society of my friends as I should do, and lost the oppressive feeling that used to make me morose and sad. You may judge how strong I am when I tell you that I am a member of St. Mary's choir, and attended the fete at the Crystal Palace last summer, taking part in a grand choral display there. I did not feel the least fatigued. I am so grateful for my cure that I shall be only t, C, t, too glad to recommend Dr. Wriiliams' Pink Pills to everyone whom I know is suffering."

Wales and the Royal Arms.
Wales and the Royal Arms. On Sat urday a meeting of the Committee having in charge the movement fcr the re- presentation of Wales in the Royal arms and the national Bag was held at the Uni- versity College, Cardiff, Mr T. H. Thomas presiding over an attendance which includ- ed Dr. J. LI. Treharne, Mr J. Hobson Mathews (Cardiff archivist), Mr D. W. Evans, Mr diaries Morgan, and others. It was-felt that the present, was an opportune ^htement to set the movement once more in progress, the belief being expressed that the King, having regard to the many years he had been known as tli,, Prince of Wales and to his position as the Chancellor of the University of Wales, would be favourable to the project. Reference: was made to the admirable work done by Mr Alfred Thomas; M.P., chairman of the Welsh Parliamen- tary party, and it was resolved to suggest to the hon. mmnber that he should convene a meeting of all the Welsh members on both sides of the House to consider the present position of the movement. The Town Clerk of Cardiff (Mr J. L. Wheatley) had already placed himself in communication, on the sub- ject with Sir E. J. Reed, the member for the borough. Acting upon the suggestion of the Mayor of Cardiff, a deputation was appointed to wait on Monday upon the Parliamentary Committee of the Cardiff Corporation to urge immediate action. Dr. Treharne referred to the criticism of Mr Balfour and others, who had described the movement as one of rivalry with the colon- ies. The Doctor pointed cut that Wales was one of the) four constituent nations of which the whole Empire, except the islands, were children, and, being one of the stcck races, Wales stood on a very- j different footing from the- colonies, the children of the Empire. Wales was the first partner with England in the move- ment for empire, and from the battle of Crt-v to the present- day Welsh arms had [ fcught >ud Welsh bleed had been spilt in the battles ot t.v? Empire. The old flag of Cadwaladr was, he believed, hoisted at Agincourt: it was certainly hoisted at Bos- worth, while the whole of I he Tudor princes here marks of Wales in then arms or in their supporters through the whole Tudor period. If the national flag were made to represent the four stock race's, then all the- colonists, being descended' of these races would be represented. Moreover, Wale^ was a distinctly Brythonic section of the British people from which the Empire got its name, and certainly had a right to be placedi in all things on a, level of perfect equality with England, Scotland, and Ireland. j
