H. Williams-Bulkeley asked if that (meant thait the convictions should Ib-e 'sent from Anglesey to the Carnarvonshire Chief-Const'aible through the Standing Joint Committee.

Mr Lewis Hughes then asked whether a person, who was listed in Anglesey as an habitual drunkard was also an habitual drunkrard in the adjoining counties.

Jones se- conded, that- the plans should' be submitted to the County Council for (its approval. [Mr Samuel Hughes said that .that could not be done, as anything (appertaining to magistrates was to be left- to that Committee. Mr W. D. Jones sa-id that it had been left to the clerk to find out whether the Council had 0JTV right, but\ he i(Mr Jones had not, heard any- thing, and he had (taken it upon himself to find out ,whalt was done in (other places, and he found that in a case like, the present the Joint Com- miittee always submitted the plans for the ap- proval of the I County Council. It was not done as a matter of courtesy, -but as a. matter of right. Mr W. R. Jones asked if lit could be placed before the mext meeting of the County Council. Unless the plans were approved »f (by the next County Council, it would create la delay of t hree m It*was decided ifo lay tthe plans before the next meeting id the (County Council. The following were appointed members oi the snb-committeo to deal with -the matter: — Mr W..Edwards, (Sir iR. H. Will kms-Bul keley, Dr E. P. (Edwards, Colonel Hampton Lewis, Colonel Lloyd, (Messrs Harry Clegg. G. J. Ro- berts. Samuel Hughes, J. R. Davies, H. Tho- mas, G. F. Priestley, W. R. Jones, R. Gardner, and W. D. Jones. FOOD AND DRUGS. The su.b-commlittee, which had met to con- sider the- question 'o'f procuring examples far analysis under the Act. recommended that Mr H. Pritchard. Ithe weights and measures in- spector. should be appointed to obtain samples, and that he be .paid the sum -of £10 annually. Sir R. H. Williaims-Bulkeiey moved that the matter be postponed for a time. Dr Roberts said that he (strongly objected to the Committee appointing an 'outsider, 'although he might be an official iof the County Council. It.o do the work connected "with the Committee. He opposed the appointment on that ground. Mr C. F. Priestley said that the Committee thought that the work would be better carried out if they appointed one man. and J310 was not much. Dr E. P. Edwards said that he was a .member of the isuib-c«mmittee, and .they had the know- ledge before them that- Mr Pritchard d.id his duity as inspector of (weights 'and measures very well, and ,it would be much more preferable that the work oi obtaining 'samples should be carried out by one man instead 0If by .the police as at pre\gent. After .some further discussion, it was decided to appoint (Mr Pritchard for twelve months, as :an experiment. LIGHT WANTED. Sir Richard iBulkeley drew attention to the fact, that there was no light at the back of the bench in -the Slrire Hall'. Llangefni- It *as a solutelv necessary that something should be done at once.

G. Thomas (Mayor of Car- narvon), Mr D. H. Williams (Pwllheli), and Mr T. J. Williams (Bangor). — Mr P. P. Pennant haying expressed a desire to be relieved of his office as representative of the Court upon the Court of the University of Wales, his .place was fijled by the election of Mr T. G. Osborn (Col- wyn Bay). — Lord Kenyon, Mr W. Cadwaladr Dav.es, and Professor Ellis Edwards were re- elected to the similar offices held by them. THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. Professor Lloyd reported that the Drapers' Company, of London, had generously renewed t-heir grant of JB600, payable in three annual in- stalments, towards the maintenance of the elec- trical engineering department (applause). The President said they had always received great support from the Drapers' Company, which was. unfortunately, the only [London com- pany owning land in Wales. On the motion of Professor Philli-ps. seconded by Mr R. O. Jones (Festiniotr). the Court cor- dially thanked the Drapers' Company for their generous gift. THE PERMANENT BUILDINGS FUND. The report of the Buildings Committee was presented. Principal Reichel reported the result to date 1 of the movement in aid of the fund among the old Students of the college. At the re-union of old students, on Saturday, the warmest sym- pathy witn the project was evinced, and already JB500 had been promised. Two old students told him they intended to repay to the college, towards the new buildings, the trums which they had received from the college in the form of scholarships (applause). The President, in moving the adoption of the report, said they might regard the report, which was the record of six montns' work, as not at all food (applause). Something like .£15,000 had been promised privately, and now that they were coming to the public they hoped to make large strides. A very large task was before them, a*s they would need from £ 150,000 to £ 170,000, and they must bear in mind that building was nowadays a very much dearer mat- ter than when the college was initiated. Var- ious objections were met with when one applied for assistance for thrs. fund, and one of the ob- jections was as to whv it was wished to change the site of the college at all. He thought that had been sufficiently answered, but he might repeat that the present site was entirely inade- quate, and was reached through !the most nar- row and tortuous streets of the city, a matter which was of some moment to a. college, the students of which were non-residential (hear, hear). The movement was headed by the King and the IPrince of Wales, and Lord Penrhyn pad responded nobly to the call rnpon him (applause), Lord Penrhyn had made his promise conditional, and it was only fair to state what his conditions were. They were that his gift of £ 3000 was subject to half the sum required being raised. That condition was an inducement to them to work hard to get the money (applause). Lord Anglesey had given a. thousand pounds, and a similar amount had been given by the Duke of Westminster. The latter remarked to him (Lord Kenyon) that if they wanted more, he hoped tiiey would go to him again when he was more settled in the saddle so to speak (applause). Others had also given nobly, such as the trustees of the late Sir Henry Tate and those of the late Mr Rathbone and Dr Lloyd (Roberts, who had promised JB1000 each. They had a little cam- paign in London, and the principal was, he thought, instrumental in getting Mr PrichaTd- Jones to give £ 1000. He was delighted with the' kindnne*ts with which thev were greeted in a number of instances, and the response they had received showed the gratitude which Welsh- men had who were successful in their under- takings (applause). Be thought, in conclusion, he ought to point out what aiarge donation thp members of the staff had made. Altogether, it amiounted to nearly £,1000 japplause). Dr Isaac Roberts seconded the motion-. Principal Reichel, in supporting fit. -said the scheme which 'had been adopted by the Execu- tive Coimmittee involved the most thorough wo-rking a the whole of North Wales. They contemplated) the holding 0Ii a public meeting in every town land a canvass in every village. Their i idea was that almost every house in Ntort-h Wales should be canvassed for a subscription. Sir William Preece in the letter IÎtn which -he an- nounced to him this subscription of J3100 said he had been immensely impressed by the way an which the great century subscription of the Wesleyan body had been .raised. He knew some who had had to do with it, and his opinion was that the college could not do better than adopt the principle on which that large undertaking was worked. That was to leave nobody alone j until something was obtained from him- (laughter),—because it was the very large aggregate., of comparatively tsmall isums which [ ,reg- ultimately built up that, iginealt (total. The way in which successive generations in North Wales. < had accustomed fthefmselves Itio public giving held > out very great, hope of onemm an- the present pro- jeot ^applause). He did inot think the public could have a better indication (that the college was doing good, ihOOleit iwork Uhlan theiact. that thtose who had been (through the dollege were prepared to support lit in a lioyal and self- 'n sacrificing manner (applause). In this connection he might be allowed to menttion a. very remark- able offer (he had .received from an old student tin iSoaith Africa. This student- was an officria-1 of io-n-e of the mining companies, and was 'getting on very Iwell. He wrote to him (Principal 'Reichel'), who did not know the iwas in South (Africa at all, to say that he 'had seen a import in a Welsh newspaper to rthe ieffedt thlat it was proposed to establish a mining department- in connection with the college. He thought the proposal a very admirable one, and 'he suggested that he should endeavour to raise a fund among the Welshmen of Johannesburg and tihe district foT the purpos-e of providing scholarships for students attending the department. While he was at (Bangor, Ihe. wrote, he had a very hard struggle, and (more thiart oince he had to walk 1rome, a difstance Ciftwentiy miles, because he bad nothing with which rto pay his fare. But he looked back upon his college days with pleasure^ and was desirous t«f (doing (something to 'help otthers (applause). In South Africa there was a. real wamt of 'British-born (persons who were trained in mining. They KJould not- be got, and all the .posts were filled iby foreigners. Fortun- ately most of those foreigners were Americans. A young Welshman who had gone out to him with strong recommendations he was trying to teadh mining, IbuitJ fhe Hacked scientific training, which at was impossible to get ,out there. One thing he promised to do Iwas to make, ft collectica of geological specimens of the different reefs aad formations and roo (present, óit to the college '(ap- plause). A letter of that kind .was a great en- couragement, as it. was ,perfectly .unsolicaited, and of course, he (Principal dReifchel) wrote aooepfcmg ■it with warm appreciation (applause). He had since received Ia. (further letter from rthe gentle- man, intimating (that, kibe scheme was to con- tribute JS90 per annum, in order that- a soboiar- ship of PM per laonxun, tenable for three years, miight be awarded' every year, and tba-t the fund, started in Johannesburg on St. David s Day. "was (already approaching the tamount -of the first rear's contritratibn (applause). Mr L. D. Jones, organising secretary of the fund, gave a brief report of its progress, and the resolution proposed by the president was then carried. 1 SCIENTIFIC TRAINING OF COAL MINE MANAGiERS. Principal Reichel, with the leave, of the meet- ing, 'called attention to la toommunication from tihe Principal at Cardiff, in reference to a bill which has been introduced for fthe amendment of the CeaH Alines (Regulation Act, 1887 Mr A Seymour Jones (Wrexham) moved that, oowrtfc cordially approved of the principle af „ — the bill, iand that an iintimataon to that effect be communicated to the members of Parliament for Wales. Dr Isaac Roberts seconded the motion. Principal Reichel rea-d a note from Colonel IT who agreed with the principle of the- bill, (though the was inclined to thank that a pra-cucai training .of three years was too short for coal minis. The proposition was carried ummimouslv. CHANGES IN THE STAFF The iPresident announced that Miss Mildred Fow-le, the superintendent- of women students, had resigned. He believ-ed she was going to be married. He referred -also to the res-ignation of Dr Dobbie. Professor of Chemist rr." who had. been appointed the director of museums in Edin- j burgh. Principal Reichel expressed his high fvnse of the grea-t service, which Dr Dobbie had Tendered to the college, and his great regret at his leaving- them. In addition to. the organising work and the great amount of teaching which Dr Dobbin bad accomplished, he had also performed re- search work of great value, and had built up & school of chemistry in the college. One of th#r students he had (trained would temporarily c. form the work of his assistant while, during thf prebent session, his assistant carried out his. work.

LOSS OF A WELSH SHIP WITH TWO LIVES. TERiREBLE SUFFERINGS OF THE GREW. Captain. Owen Jenkins, Chief-officer Wilson, av'd Viree aPPTentices of the Criccieth-owned ship, "Towys Castle," have arrived in Liverpool J[om. Buenos Ayres. and the captain has given the foUowino- thrilling narrative of the terrible sufferings and privatrions of the crew while ca-sii away on Staten Island, when their vessel foun- dered :—"Powys Castle" was bound from Ta- coma to Queenstown with a cargo of grain, and everything went well until the 9th January, when she struck on Staten Island, and imme- diately sank, being submerged to the forecastle head, her bows standing on a high ledge of rock. The wteather wa.s intensely cold with inches of snow on the ground. Some of the crew climbeld off the jibbcom on to the rocks, while the remainder landed in one of the boats but one of the seamen, named iAzel Olsen, was so frightened that. he remained on board the ship, and could not be persuaded) to leave. As the boat was landing, a heavy sea struck her, Hnrl she capsized, imprisoning one of the men underneathbut, fortunately, another large wave broke up the boat, and released him. The men saved nothing but what they had on. and I all through the night, they slept huddled to- gether jn the snow. The following1 morning, one of the seamen, named John, Younger volun- teered to swim to the ship, and get some food for his starving shipmates; but when he got under the bows, he was drawn into a- whirl- pool. and drowned. Eventually, the crew got a connection 'with the ship bv the boat's painter, and'when they got aboard, they found Olsen had died from hunger and exposure. His body was taken ashore, and buried by his comrades. The men got together some of the cargo of wheat and salt beef. ond on this they existed for several days. As the vessel -began to break up, two » boats off the forward house were washed ashore, f and in .one of these Captain Jenkins and four of the crew started for New Year's Island, on ( which there is a lighthouse, where they arrived j the following day. On reporting the disaster, the lighthouse people proceeded with Captajn Jenkins in the boat for Port Cook, leaving the four seamen on the lijrhthouwe, and eventually a steamer proceeded from IPort Cook for the sailors OIl the lighthouse, and then went for those who. were left by the ship. The crew ex- perienced terrible privations, and lost every- thing they possessed, including all the ship's papers. The rescuing steamer transferred them 7? another steamer going up the coast, and in jt>out three weeks' time, they were landed at uenos Ayres, where thev joined the mail on ,nT received the greatest kindness the "Pr.fJl s>.
