SUPPOSED LOSS OF A BEAUMARIS…
SUPPOSED LOSS OF A BEAUMARIS SLOOP. The sloop 6f about sixty tons. belonging to Beaumaris, left the port of Oemaes on. the night of the 23rd inst., with a cargo of oats, bound for Lanca-ster, and as she has not since been heard of it. is supposed that she has foundered. The night she took her departure was dark, and a strong souther- ly wind was blowing. It had been arranged that as she passed! the port of Amlwch she Should show 6 a flash light, which would be the signal to the smaatok <rFriends," which, being also i'l>ound for Lancaster, would join bier, and they were iboth to sail together. Th-e "Friends," however, saw no light, and it is fearedl the "Seagull" musit either hav-e been run down or was unaible to weather the somewhat heavy storm. The crew con- sisted of two hands—the master, Hugh Tho- mas, and the mate, Hugh Pritcha.rd-both of wihom leave largel families. Telegraph mes- sages have been sent round the coast, in the hope that some news, favourable or other, might be ascertained, but aJl efforts have been fruitier.
THE FOOTBALL FATALITY IN DENBIGHSHIRE.
THE FOOTBALL FATALITY IN DENBIGHSHIRE. OENSUKE BY THE CORONER. On Monday night, the Eaist Denbighshire coroner (Mr Wynn Evans) investigated the circumstances 3mtemding the death of. Henry Evans, 17, who was kicked by an opponent whilst playing footbbailil at Llanerchrugog Pairk on Christmas Daoy.-lidwar(i Williams, Mountain-street, said that he was playing foot- ball with the deceased] on the day, in question. The team wasoolled the "Sun Albion," and they were practising. The deceased was plapno, half-back and the witness was play- ing full back. They started to play about 11 a.m., and the accident happened about 11.40. The deceased wasi running up with the ball, and the witness ran towarda him, intending to gee it. He had no intention of charging him, but only of getting the ball. The deems ed pimped up, and in earning down he dropped on witness's knee, which came in contact with his aixlomen. He doubled himself np, and said that lie had been hurt. The team stopped playing for about ten miiuiti'S at the expiration of which time they went on rcor-oiier: And did vou go on playing, and knowing that this young man was htiro?—The witness Yes.— By a Juror Will you ever play again ? No newer.—.Edward Hughes (collier) laid he was with the team, and was playing on the same side as the deceased. He saw him coming in contact it Edward Williams, but he not go and inquire what was the matter. —The Coroner And do you mean to say that you dad not make amy inquiries when you saw that this young man Was hurt?—The witness;: No. "i took no interest in the witness;: No. I took no interest in the matter.—The Coroner: Well, well; I am fiM-rprised. Be asked the) witness again whether he did not consider it his duty tb make inquiries as to the nature_ of the aoci- dent-, to which the witness replied. "No. The Coroner then commented strongly upon the "inhuman! and "unchristianlike" action of the witness.—A man named W. Green, who happened to be en the Park, next de- scribed how he had assisted the deceased to dress himself, and! he took him to a neigh- bouring public-house. He walked with ex- treme difficulty, and a^eared to be seriously krrt., as he was groaning very mue-h.-The Coroner here remarked that it was very for- tunate that the witness happened to be pre- sent on the occasion, as the members of the team did not seem to have taken any interest at all in the sitl accident, or they would not 'have gone on playing. Addressing a goal- keeper named R. Williams, the Coroner satd I am given to understand that you are a bit rough in this district in pla.ving foot, bail?—The witness: Not very. We didn't have an accident like that here before.— 'Medical evidence was next given by Dr J. C. D'avieis, Rhos. who said that he examined the and his opinion was that lie had h vl a. rupture of the stomach. Nothing could be done* in such a case it. was only a matter of time.—In summing up the Coroner again remarked on the action of the team, and !Hh^ghb onicrht to have been more con- siderate. He was not. coin:? to discuss the merits or demerits ctf, football, but he could1 not heln believing that there liadl been some II ro'igli plav going on upon this occasion.—The jury. after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

BANGOR AND BEAUMARle. UNION. iFPvilDAY.—3Ir H. Thomas, J.P., in the | v letter was read from the Bangoi School Board asking the guardians whether they could not get the Wesleyan friends, who had bought a piece of land near the work- house, to meet the board, and take another piece cf land in its stead. The Education Department pressed the school board to ex- tend the Glanadda School, and if the Wes- leyans would not give up the piece of land in question, they would have to build new schools.—After some discussion, the e\e± was instructed to write a letter to the Wes- leyans, asking them whether they would nut consent to take a plot nearer the workhouse, so that thev could 'meet the wishes of the school board.k very satisfactory report .f the boarding-out comniittee was read.—The secretary of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children wrote in reference to the custody of a child, and stating that they were net dear as to how they could inter- fere in the matter, as the parents had not been convicted on a charge of cruelty to their children.—The Master, on behalf of the in- mates, thanked the guardians for the treat given them on Christmas Day, and reported that lie had received a number of presents for all the inmates.

RUTHIN COUNTY SCHOOLS.
RUTHIN COUNTY SCHOOLS. A meeting of the governors for the Ruthin County Schools District was held on Wed, iiesdlay, Dr J. Medwvn Hug,hes presiding. tMiss Annie Kn-i'bb resigned from ill-health, and arrangements were made for the election of a successor. A discussion ensued as to the desiirabil itji of starting schools in temporary premises, and the Chairman said the Charity Commis- sioners had declined to sanction the purchase of the site for the schools until there had been an inquiry by an Assistant Commission- er. If the schools were not started by Au- gust next, they would lose the right of doing so, and would be dependent upon the will of the Charity Commissioners entirely. Their case witli respect to the purchase of the site was now before the Commissioners, and it embodied a scheme for paying for Brynhvf- ryd with the building grant and the sums now in the bank for maintenance.—The Warden of 'Ruthin moved that it was desirable to at once start a girls' school in temporary pre- mises, and lie did so leaving aside an contro- versial questions. They had been two years at work, and they had absolutely done no- thing practical, and it was a very great mis- fortune to their district, comprising a popu- lation of 13.000 people, that they should still be without a girls' school. Moreover, they were in great danger of losing the money they had altogether, and if an amending scheme were brought forward, it would take two more years at least to get it through, even if it were unopposed. As a governor lie should not like it to go forth that he had done any- thing to hinder the starting of the girls' school. The (Mayor said he understood that the As- sistant Commissioner would come down in January. The Chairman said he was glad to see the Warden of Ruthin taking such an interest in the girls' school, but it was not fair to sug- gest that the responsibility for the delay rested upon the local governors. He thought that the outside public should know that if the Warden had had his way they would have had no girls' school at all (hear, hear). The Warden: No, no. That is not true. 'Mr H. Williams suggested that if they started the school in temporary pre- mises it would prejudice their case in refer- ence to the boys' school. The motion was seconded by Mr Thomas Jones (Plas Ccch), but was defeated by six votes to three. On the motion of the Mayor, seconded by Mr H. Williams, the clerk was directed to respectfully urge upon the Charity Commis- sioners the importance of an early settlement of the questions under discussion. The Clerk stated that the total sum now standing to their credit at the bank was £3322 19s lid.

DEATH OF DR BERBER EVANS.…
DEATH OF DR BERBER EVANS. We regret to aiiai-ounce that Dr Herber Evans died on Wednesday night at a, quarter to eleven o'clock. The bulletin issued on Tuesday morning indicated that his conditiojn was very serious, and later and more un- favourable medical reports led to the worsb bei-ng (feared by the paitient/s numerous friends. His medical attendant, Dr Rowland Joneis, was in constant attendance on ed- nesday. Dr Parry, of Carnarvon, also at-j tended the patient, as did Dr Elliott, Ches- ter. Dr Evans's death took place in the pre-j sence of his wife aoo. his brother, the Rev! Justin Evans, London the Rev O. L. Ro- berts and Mrs Roberts, son-in-law and daugh-i ter; and Dr Rowland Jones, and was ab- solutely painless, the patient being almost unconscious. The Rev Evan1 Herber Evans, D.D., was born at Pantyronen, near Newcastle-Emlyn, J on the confines of Cardiganshire, in the sum-! mer of 1836. His father was a working! mechanic, and his grandfather combined the callings of a farmer and blacksmith at a place called Pen-yr-Herbeir, from which the emi- nent preacher subsequently took his nom-de- plume. His early boyhood was spent at his. grandfather's house, and the village black-! smith seems to have done much to mould: the lad's character, for, in the course of a speech at a public meeting in Liverpool, a| little time ago, Dr Evans said W e can all turn our homes heavenward. Some of us have had blessed homes hete; we can never] forget them. There is an old farmhouse where my grandfather lived; were it on sale, to-morrow, I would bid till my last shilling! was gone. I was there for years as a boy.j On a morning people crowded the yard on; business, but no one expected him to come till prayeirs were over. He was called Jon- ah, though he was not a prophet. It was there I heard of Jesus; it was there I saw asj it were the heavens opened by the prayers of a true old Christian1." His mother, too, haid much to do with Iforming his character, and inspiring him in his public duties. She was herself a woman of strong character, and was known through- out the denomination as "the deaconess of Pont Selly," and of which her husband was an office-bearer. To the end of her days, some two years ago, she continued to be to the celebrated divine what she had been to the child in the peaceful Pembrokeshire vil- ]age-his controlling influence. Like most of those who have ma.de for themselves a name in the Welsh pulpit, Dr Evans was not originally intended for the ministry. At the age of 16, he was appren- ticed to a. linen drapeir at Rhydlewis, a vil- lage in Carmarthenshire, whence he shortly afterwards removed to a larger establishment in Liverpool, where he soon won his em- ployer's commendation as "the best window dresser in the establishment"—and his bre- thren in the ministry were wont to say that he retained this characteristic on the platform to the end of his days. It is to the late celebrated1 Dr John Tho- mas that Wales is indebted for the pulpit services of Dr 'Herber Evans. The pastor of Tabernacle Welsh Congregational Chapel, Liverpool, soon perceived that the raw coun- try youth who had joined his, church pos- sessed a. genius for something other and high- er than the dressing of shop windows, and invited him to turn his thoughts towards the (Christian' ministry. It was at Tabernacle Chapel, in Groat Crosshall-street, that the future chairman of tihe Congregational Union of England and Wales preached his first ser- mon on a weeknight in the early fifties. From the first, it was clear he was cut out for a pulpit o-raftor the success of his first at- tempt was undoubted, and he shortly after gave up business, and entered Swansea Nor- mal College, under the celebrated Dr Evan Da vies, proceeding thence in a short time to t i cl Brecon Theological College, under the charge of the late Dr Moirris. Here his reputation as a preacher was soon placed beyond dis- pute, and the caills for his services were so numerous as to threaten to seriously inteirfere with his course of study. The character of the man was displayed in his organising, during his second' year of resi- dence, 31 series of revival services throughout Wales, in which he was accompanied -by three fellow-students, including the present I Principal of Brecon College, Professor Row- lands (Dewi Mon). That preaching tour— it was during the great revival of 1858-9—is still spoken of in many a village in North Wales as a landmark in the religious history of the district. During his third year at college, he re- ceived a compliment which any minister in still spoken of in many a village in North Wales as a landmark in the religious history of the district. During his third year at college, lie re- ceived a compliment which any minister in the denomination would have been proud to receive. He was invited to succeed, at the Mbrriston Tab ornate! e, near iswaiisea, the celebrated preacher Thomas 'Jones. The temptation to accept the call was great; but wiser counsels prevailed, and the young student declined the invitation, .stating hon- estly his reason to be that lie felt he had need of a longer course of preparation to qualify him for the ministry. To their tired- it be it said, the church replied declining to accept the refusal, but stating that they would willingly ¡\'ait another year, if he would then consent to reconsider the matter. | A. twelvemonth later, he entered on his first| pastorate in what was then the largest church| and is still the largest chapel belonging to IWelsh Nonconformists. In 1865, he changed his sphere of labour for North Wales, accepting the invitation to 3 the pastorate of Salem Congregational Chape-l, gat Carnarvon, which he held for the long Iperiod of 28 years, only resigning when, pressed by the practically unanimous wish of his denomination, he consented to accept the principalship of Bala-Bangor Congregational College—-a post he has occupied since 1893. | Some time after he began his pas borate at| Carnarvon, he married) thei daughter of onel !^f the deacons of his church, viz., the latel Mr John Hughes, watchmaker. Two child-1 ren were born to them, one of whom died,! ■Mid the other is now married to -the Rev O.l L. Roberts, Congregational minister, Pwll-1 lieli. In 1880. he married a second time tog Annie, daughter of the late Mr Owen Belmont House, Carnarvon. | He enjoyed nearly every honour his deno-l mination and his fellow-countrymen couldl confer upon him. He has occupied from| time to time every celebrated pulpit in Eng-i iland and Wales, including those of Mr Spur-! ?eon, who entertained the highest opinion ofl his abilities, and pressed him in vain to be-1 come his colleague in the London Taber-i nacle. | He declined repeated calls also to the pas- tor ate of some of the largest and richest. churches in 'Eng,an,d and, the colonies. In- eluding those of Westminster Chapel, Lon-| don, and Sydney, Australia. The stipend! offered in each case was probably fouir times the amount he received in Wales, but on no account would he sever his connection with his beloved native land. I He sat for years on the Carnarvon SchoolI Board and the County Council, and it was his boast that he always headed the poll. 1 He was also invited to stand for a seat in Parliament for the Carnarvon Boroughs, and his personal popularity was such that the Conservatives themselves recognised it would be useless to oppose him. After duo con- sideration, however, he declined exchanging "he pulpit for the floor of the Honse of Com- mons, and the seat he refused was then offered to and accepted by Mr whose aggressive policy on Welsh q nest ions ]| Dr Herber Evans always heartily supported. 1 He was also elected a member of the council of the North Wales "University Co1 lege, Ilnrl on the Court of Governors of the WelshS University, and in both capacities he strenu-p .1181v advocated the appointment- of none butg We'sh-speaking candidates for prblic pots" In the Principality. S I He was also the only Welsh Nonconformists minister on tihe Commission cf the Peace, t !I though it was some months after his appoint-i ment, viz., the last day of the year 1895,1 j&that lie fiist took his seat on the bench. | | In 1886, he occupied the chair of the Welsh! HCongregational Union, and in 1892 that ofl alt-he Congregational Cnion of England and! 'Wales. His presiden^al address at the May meetings of the latter body, in the City Temple, on "The Free -Churches and their Opportunity was regarded as one cf the most brilliant in the long array of striking addresses delivered from .tihe presidential chair of the Union. In November, 1894, after a connection of twenty-eight years, ha resigned his pastorate of Saleaa Chapel, Carnarvon, for the purpo.se of taking the principalship of the united Bala- Bangor Independent College at Banger. As he said at the time it was a hard task for- him to do, but great as it was, he felt it had to be done for the sake of uniting the de- nomination alter tha long and bitter strife known as the "Battle of the Constitutions. Opportunity-" was regarded as one of the most brilliant in the long array of striking addresses delivered from .tihe presidential chair of the Union. In November, 1894, after a connection of twenty-eight years, ha resigned his pastorate of Saleaa Chapel, Carnarvon, for the purpose of taking the principaJship of the united Bala- Bangor Independent College at Banger. As he said at the time it was a hird task for- him to do, but: great as it was, lie felt it had to be done for the sake of uniting the do- nomination alter tha long and bitter strife known as the "Battle of the Constitutions." Physically, intellectually, emotionally, "Herber" was always on the move. Were this inherent restlessness not regulated by an undertone of strong and vivid purpose it would be a snare. But the ohangefulness of mood and mind that marked Dr Evans was not that of a ipool whipped by a whimsical breeze it was that of a swift river chafiing between its restraining 'banks. He was pos- sessed by the passion of preaching. When, some fifteen years ago, a rude reminder was sent to him that he was overdrawing on his resources, the bitterest pain of his retirement was the fear that his preaching days were done; and when the danger passed, the ra- pidity of his recovery was largely due to the eager and joyous anticipation winch possessed him, of renewing his beloved work. Dr Evans possessed the qualificatio:ns of a great orator; and a great orator lie was, at g least in his native tongue. Large -stores of mental, as well as bodily heat; a discrimina*- tive intellect; great receptiveness for ideas, and a power of retention which appropriates and stores up for future use all that is best in the literature of the day—of which he was an omnivorous reader; a love of clear and vivid thinking, and a power to flood his thoughts wi'j-t an ever-rising tide of emotion as they coir}e,ige to their climax;—great and rare as thesl- qualities are, no one who has had the privilege of hearing Dr Evans at his best in Welsh could deny them to him. I As a preacher, Dr Evans was thoroughly evangelical. Few Welshmen were better acquainted with current literature in fact, he was far more deeply read than many wtho| court notoriety by promulgating novel views! which they do not fully understand. But he found not in the writings of the "new school" reasons for changing hils creed. Not long ago, the was urging students to "study men, | and read the newspapers, if they would be alive to the age." This advice indicates his own practice. No reported occurrence, no scientific discovery, no movement of thought, i escapes his keen observation; his sermons and speeches are always studded with appro-i priiate and telling quotations. All the mo- dern writers, orthodox or heterodox, scienti-H fic and poetical, are made by him to pay tri- bute to the Prophet of Nazareth. In fact, he acts on the advice of Thomas Binnev, "Gather your materials all the week, and set fire to them o'n Sunday in the pulpit." With respect to the vacant principalship of the Bala-Bangor Independent College, it is probable that now, since the principalship of the Brecon College is also vacant by the death, some three weeks ago, of Dr Morris, a scheme of -amalgamation of the two col- leges, which has been in contemplation for some time, will be carried into effect as soon as practicable, and that the amalgamated in stitution will be located at Brecon, where there is a fine building.
THE FUNERAL
THE FUNERAL has been fixed for Monday, at Glanadda Cemetery, Bangor. The cortege will leave Rolft, U'pper Bangor, at two o'clock. Before proceeding to the cemetery, a short service will be hfld at the Pendref Congregational Church. A large number of sympathetic tele- grams were on Thiunsd-ay received by Mrs Herber Evans from all parts of England and Wales. Many of the friends of the deceased re- vered pastor feel greatly that he should be buried at Bangor and not Carnarvon, where he spent so many years of his life. B w._œw

[LORD PENRHYJST AND THE BOARD OF TRADE. ] FURTHER CORBENPOSDEN'OE. 1 Mr E. A. Young, the chief manager of the fPenrliyn Quarries, has sent for publication the fallowing furchor •correspondence which |has passed between the Board of Trade andi ILord Penrhyn in reference to the Penrhyn |Quarry strike. "Up to the moment of writ- ling," Mr Young says, "Lord Penrhyn has not Ibeen supplied by the Board of Trade with any |of the correspondence which the Board hag ghad with the men, although part of IMB lord- Jship's correspondence with the Board hag betn supplied to the men and published "Bangor, 22nd December, I am in receipt of .yours of the 19L:!1 inst., forwarded from Brogyntyn, Oswestry, and note that you state that it dees not app-aar to the Board of Trade that they could at pre- sent usefully take any further steps to pro- mote the desired conference' (which same conference I had) assented to). I regret that your letter contains certain other 11 remarks which appear calculated to convey the im- pression that the men have been, and are ,likely to be, exposed to disadvantages1 for want of an impartial and efficient interpreter and shorthand writer, aiicl, oil this point I must observe that facts do not justify such a.n imputation. I also regret to have to take exception to your statement that 'the men (i.e., the, deputation) would have to come7 to me 'without any of their chosen leadens,' for a reference to the names cf the men nomi- nated for the proposed deputation (which I had agreed to meet) will at once show that your statement is erroneous.—I am, sir, vours faithfully (Signed), PENRHYN. Sir Cour- tenay Boyle, K.C.B., Whitehall. "Board of Trade, Decemlber 24th, 1896. -— J My lord,—In acknowledging the receipt of yours of the 22nd, I am directed by the Board' of Trade to say that they feel them- selves unable to modify the remarks made in my letter of the 19th instant. I am, how- ever, to ssvy that no imputation such as you suggest was either intended or conveyed in connection with the question cf an interpre- ter or shorthand writer. The men would, of course, have to report to those who had deput/ed them the proceedings at the pro- posed interview, and it was flierofore natural that they should desire to be acqompanied by their own shorthand writer and interpret ter. To this you were willing to consent, but your consent was qualified, by a condition which rendered it quite nugatory. It cannot be denied1 that the men w-ere thus placed ait a disadvantage. The remark in my previous I letter with regard to another disadvantage under which the men would labour by having to come to you without any cf their chosen leaders -had reference to the condition you im- posed that all tli-ei members of the committee originally chosen were to be excluded from selection by the men in appointing the de- putation that 1\31 to wait upon you. To this condition,, however disadvanltlageoiis as it un- doubtedly was to the. men, they very reluct- antly consented, but they urged very strongly that a representative of the Board of Trade should be present at the first interview, be- lieving that the adoption of this course would greatly facilitate the opening up of negotiat- tionq. L-i this. view the Beard concurs, acid they cannot but think that your categorical refusal to comply with this request was neith- er in harmony with the intention of the Con- ciliation Act nor promising for the success of the negotiaticnsi. In your letter under ao- jknowledgement you state that you had as- sented to a 'conference,' whereas- in your pre- vious letter you expressed your willingness to receive 'as uS!ual1 a d'epu:ta;liÍŒl.' In the to receive 'as usual a deputation.' In the opinion of the Boaird of Trades there is a 'marked difference between the two expres- sions. The latter expression seems to imply [that you were willing to hear and to reply tb their representations—as you, had previous- ly done; the former tha-t you were willing to confer with the men on the matters in dis- pute with a view of arriving at. a settlement. The use of this latter expression leads the Board of Trade to hope that, if a meelting oould still be arranged, a favourable result might follow. With this view, I am directed to ask whether you &101 adhere to your objec- tion tb a representative of the Board of Trade being present at the first meeting of the con- ference, and wheotherr you would consent to the men bringing an interpreter and a short- hand writer, whose name should) be first sub- mitted to you for approval.—I have the hon- our to ibe, any lord, vour obedient servant (Signed), COURTENAY BOYLE. The Rilight Honourable Lord Perarhyn, &c." I "Piiiii: Pea:|rhyni, Bangntf, North Wafl-es, !28th December, 1896.—Sir,—In acknowledg- jing yoursi of December 24th, I note with saitis- sfaction that the Board c# Trade disclaims (in swoids quoted be-low) the imputation that the jfnien have been, and are likely to be, exposed |to disadvantage for want of an impartial and lefficient interpreter and shorthand writer: — ST am tic- say that- no imputation such a.s you ssuggest wa-s- either intended or conveyed, in |connection with the question of an interpreter land shorthand writer,' and as this admission |removes the pretext (which has been ad- vanced in the newspapers and elsewhere) that |the men's claim to be accompanied! by tlheir ;gO'Wn interpreter and shorthand writer was c e-r rlfounded upon a feeling that they had1 former- |ly been unfairly dealt with in that respect, I I consider that I'am; now supported in my view jjthat I had previously adequately meis the ne- jJcesFary requirements) on this head, more es- Specialiy when it is borne in mind that at the scommcncemrat of this dispute I_ did (with all fdespatch) supplv to the deputation which at- Itended at this office, 17th August, a full tran- |seript of their interview with me, which last- led about four hours, and should be glad to do Ithe same again whenever the proposed deput-a- itions comes to me. "With reference to other Sremarksi in your letter cf the 24th inst., I ,1; I most emphatically protest against your p-lac- |ing such a construction upon my refusal to leomply with the -conditions imposed by the Imen in -resolutions 2 and 3, December 5th, |1896, as to justify ycu in. saying that it Icannot be denied that the men were thus jjplacod at a disadvantage.' There is no one I who has the welfare of my late- employees |more sincerely at heart than myself, and such Isuggesticnis to the contrary as are contained |int your letter I fear cannot fail to be pro- Iductlve of mischief. I must here point out jthat since the date the strike commenced—• viz., Tuesday, September 29th—I have re- ceived no communication whatever from my |late empleyc'er,, and I fail to -see why such fdelav should now have arisen in mv being |fnrnished with an outline of tihe points which the deputation- propose to lay before me. I Snote that in your letter under alckncrwledgø- 1,Tneiit you comment on my having 'now assent- jjjed to a conferenice,' in my previous [letter I 'had expressed my willingness 'to re- fceive a deputation,' and vou proceeid to say fceive a deputation,' and vou proceeid to say I I that 'in the opinion of the Board of Trade J.there is a marked difference between the two ^expressions but I must draw your attention to the fact that in vour l-eitter of the 12th jjinst. you say Mr Ritchie clearly understood itliat I 'would be prepared to confer with |them' (the deputation), and I therefore do not ^appreciate the disitinction which you draw jibetween the two ■expreefi.iioms. In reply to |vour reiterated expression of hojie that a Hoarfl of Trade official might be present at |the first meeting of the conference. I have 'only to say that the objections which I have fentertained) to the aforesaid suagostion are in no wliy modified by the attitude which has jjbeen assumed by the Board of Trade concern- sine the dispute with tho men formerly in my ^employment, and I must adhere to the views {expressed in my letter of the 9Bh, nist. Morei- pover. I mu«t point out that a^herigh the iBoarcl has furnished the men with, c-cnies of fpart of my correspond'ence with the' Boaird, (it has failed to -send, m-e any of the eorrespon- fdonee of the lioard with the mem. Such a bourse win oh be regarded asi eonciliatorv or conducive to a. good nndeTstand-'ng. I hawo ito add that- I am sdwiVrf! that the proposal [repeated.lv made on 'behalf of the Board. of iTrade, viz.. that a rrprefientative or reprev I sentatives of tha Baird cf Trade should be present at the proposed conference or meeting between me and till) men lately in my em- ployment, is distinctly not In accordance with the terms of the Conciliaition Act, 1896. Bub whatever iiiav be the intention (-,f bho De- partment in pressing this condition, I deem it to be my duty, in the interests otf all per- sona really concerned in the present dis- pute, to adhere to the views already expressed by me, and I write this in the absolute con- viction that the dispute is more likely to be prolonged than curtailed by 'the continuance of negotiations with the Department. In conclusion, I may as1 well say plainly that what cannot be tolerated by myself is the as- sumption of dictatorial authority .by a com- mittee, and suoh an interference on their part with the management of my quarry as that which hafl brought, about the present crisis. —I am, sir, yours faithfully (Signed), PEN- RHYN.

—• •" AGHIUULTUUE IN INORTH WALhs. We have all expoi'ie:i,eed a wet and windy Christmas, but the. temperature has bee;l exceptionally high -for the iasit week in De- cember. On 1éJ¡GuIda,y morning last, tlot 10 a.m., my glass registered fifty degrees-. I doubt very m-uch, if I live as long as the patriarchs, whether I shall ever agam report- a temperature of 50 degrees on the 26th of December. The snow has wholly disappeared on the hills. I was unable to send you my usual notes week, and therefore any reference to Mr Ellis's speech at Baimicutih miust appear somewhat; belated. The -critic-ism of Mr Tiu- oent was severe, but. quite warranted by the circumstanced which evoked ii. What is, however, more important than the personal referiie,e is t'ho determii;a: 011 expressed by the Chief Whip to keep the Ccmmissdcneis' report to the front, Mud to insist that in due course legislation shall be ba<ed upcn it. I haJI read Mr Bondage's tetter in the "Herald before a similar octirmunjoataoxi from his pen appeared in iihe Lane Express." The popular and highly intelligent tenant of Cotton Hall is quite at sea- in xe- oommending Protection as a remedy for agri- culturaq depression. As -well cry for the moon as demand a duty upon wheat, and consequently upon bread. The strongei-t Ministry ever returned to office would not Siixrvive the storm of indignation which such a policy would evoke. Protection would immediately but not ulti- mately benefit the te-nant. farmers of Great Britain—not as long as the present system oif and tenure is maintained. One turn of the rent screw would transfer the whole of the additional profits from the pockets of the tenants to those of thte landowners. Land is worth what it will fetch in the open market, and with higher prices quoted fur all oerods, higher rentq would be (given for farms. So the poor w-)uld become poorer, and the rich would become richer. It is singular that an intelligent man like Mr Bow dago should ha.vo propounded so ridiculous, a remedy for the agrarian question of Wales. There is a popular delusion that the Toriles a.re the f&MeTS' friends. If there were any truth in th(- I should be glad, if one of them wwuld explain why they ha,ve expres- sed their intention of 110t, introducing a, bill during t,he next session of Parliament dealinc with land tenure in England and Waiies. They were pledged up to the eyes to do something pra-r*tical to relieve the admitted evils of the present sy^em, but Mr Long, who recently paid us a visit, has been put up to explain that nothing can be expec;ed-,for the pre- sent. So much the better. The longer a- settle- ment is delayed in Wales, the metre equitable that settlement will be when it is brought about. In the .meantime much requires to be done. We want prompt, vigorous, and reli- able leader; and! a. country solid and resolute to back them up. The walls of this entrench- ed Jericho will not till down with mere shouts. It will require to be mined and undermined, and its capture will entail much Buffering, for the defenders! may be relied upon to strike as hard as possible. We have luad an example of th-ail, in the history of Ire- land during the past twenty years. Whac was done there will be ropea-ted here. The markets are likely to be dull for a few weeks, and, it will be difficult to forecast the prospects .:¡;f the new year until the course which trade is likely to take becomes1 more obvious ai,J clear. Fat stock has. been selling at fairly fMii&faictory pricee, and good store cattle have been in request a,t reimune.rative- rates, but on the whole the past year has been disappointing to feederB and' breeders. Lord Penrhyn lias again the custom- ary remistrion to the tenants on his estate. The rebate has been given for such a length of time tiat the tenants have come to re- gard it as practically a permanent reduction of rent. It would be more desirable oil every ground that landowners should have their estates revalued in the light of the steady fall in prices during the past five or seven years, rather than continue doling out half- yearly or yearly sops. These remissions are either deserved or undeserved; justifiable or the reverse. If the former, they should become permanent, and be enJJodied in fresh agreements. ,P-- The Bev D. ltoberts, D.D., Wrexham-— who, slUt-e the recent death of the Rev W.
