By Royal COIllmalld an order lias been promulgated in effect that every effort shall be made by our scientists and medical men to discover some specific for the cure of cancer. This undoubtedly would be the greatest boon to humanity as canocr and cancerous prouth* im their various fcrms is the cala- mity of the age. and the disease is unfortu- nately on the increase, especially in this country. In the town of Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, a remedy is now being tented which has se- cured man vvalaable testimonies proving its wonderful curative powers. Prior to its il- troduction into this country, its marvellous efficacv had aireadv been srccesfuHv proved in SOUTH AFRICA in curing cn nceroi's growths, as genuine, testimonials will prove.

Premature Burial. THE LATE COLONEL E. P. VOLLUM, M.D., ON PREMATURE BURIAL. Sirt,Tlie allusion to cremation. in the "Weekly Reporter" of July 11th, reminds one that- in Munich recently, after a brief illness, has quietly passed away a humani- tarian, reformer, whose zeal and energy in arousing public opinioiii on the subject of prema.ture burial, were untiring and beyond all praise. I refer to Colonel Yollmn, M.D. a veteran in the Medical Department of the U.S. Army, who occupied for many years the responsble post ion of Inspector of Hospitals in the United States, and was justly held in the highest esteem by all were privi- leged to know him. It was Cnl. Vollum who first inspired the valuable researches of his personal friend, Dr Franz Hartmann, into the occult r-hcncmena of appeent death and living burial. Dr Volium became interested in the importa nt question in consequence 01 his own very narrow cs^pc- from live sepul- ture. having been pronounced dead from drowning, and prepared for interment- when consciousness, happily, returned spontaneous- ly. On more 'than one occasion, Dr Vollum was instrumental in rescuing persons from the most horrible imaginable of fa,tes, in spite of the opposition and ridicule of physi- cians. priests, and relatives, who lo-udlv pro- tested against any delay in the obsequies of these whom they erroneously declared tc be unmistakcably uc?d. Numerous aiticle.-> letters from his pen appeared in the English a.nd American ^r-ss, on the danger of judging by appearances, and hastily diagnosing that dissolutiani had taken place, end he strongly maintained that putrefactive decomposition is the only safe prcof cf death, and that no burial, cremation, autopsy, or embalming should be allowed until that condition was distinctly apparent. The deceased was. the author cf a very useful Plan for forming Associations for the protection of the burial cf Living Perscns," which has parsed through fcur additions, and a fifth will shortly be published. By the lamentable- death of this eminent doctor, the London Association for the. Prove lit LG-J of Premature Burial has suffered irreparable less. and at a meeting of the Executive Committee on June 4th. the following resolution was unanimously adopted That the committee having heard with much sorrow of the death of Colonel Edward Perry Volum, M.D.. who by his collaboration with Mr William Tebbin, the authorship of that now well-known work "Premature Burial and Hew it may be pre- as well as in various other ways has promcterd the cause of the Association, de- sires to express its deep sympathy with his family, and its sense of the great loss which the movement has. sustained by his decease." I should be pleased to send copy of Dr. Vollum's "Plan" on receipt of an envelope stamped amd addressed. Thanking you, in anticipation. I am, siir, Yours fathfully, JAS. R.

Eng-Ush Rule in Ireland. THE CASE OF SERGT. SHERIDAN. JURY PACKING ADMITTED. Last week, the ease of Serojt. Sheridan came before the House of Commons. It is pmeti'-nllv admitted that this worthy com- mitted crimes in order to get cases of out- rages but the Government 117, uld not prnseontf him. The Irish, members asserted thnt Sherida-n kr.ows- too much. On tho vote of £ 709.185 to complete- the needed to defray the salaries and expen- ses of the Royal Irish Constabulary, Mr Dillon (N\, Mayo) moved to reduce the vote by C"00,COO, as a protest both against the constitution of this force as a military rorce of occupation in Ireland, and also its monstrous cost. It was the most ^-pensive police force, per head of the popu- :ation, of any in the world, and this in the eoi;n';ry which was the poorest in all Europe. Irr-'imen paid three times as' much per head rf population for police ns the inhabitants of England or Sco.tIari.d. The force was being i-sed for the purpose of exterminating the neoT>le, a.nd of bolstering up a, system of land brdjnn that was devastating and ruining the country (Nationalist cheers). In the "rial of criminal cases in Ireland perjury and packed juries were tin mainstay of the Bri- ;;sh Government. The members of the Royal Irish Constabulary acted as agents provoea- feurs. and many of the most loathsome- and disgusting crimes which had been brought before the courts had been got up and orga- nised and paid for by the police. The hon. member, in a speech of two hours duration, referred to a number of cases in which he -aid the police had been instrumental in "n^'inng the conviction of innocent prsons. Mr Wvndham repudiated most warmly the 'insubstantial charges which Mr Dillon had flnng against the police force as a, whole. He admitted that in one or two, snoeific eases '-here was something in what Mr DiHon had snid. In the cose of Sergt. Sheridan, which hon. member had made so much of, lw 0"; Chief Secretary, ordered this man's dis- ;nj[.. Sir Robert Reid (R., Dumfries Burghs) re- ferred to the Sheridan case as a typical one of the many foul .and dastardly crimes which marked the wide difference between the ad- ministration it^ England and in Ireland. It led every honest man to feel distrust of the wholo system of the government of Ireland, a system which was rotten to the core. The Attorney General for Ireland retorted Tih some warmth that there was more jury- nacking in Ireland during the three' years, of the Government of which Sir Robert. Reid was a. member than there had been in six vears. of the Unionist administration (Minis- terial cheers). Sir Robert Reid now preterm ded to be horrified that jury-packing was re- sorted to in Ireland, but, he did not refuse o be a member of the- Government which allowed this. Sir Robert Reid I don't believe it happened. (Nationalist cheers). The Attorney General for Ireland said that on the last occasion this subject was dis- cussed he gave- a specific case in which 41 men out of a, panel of 71 were set aside. Sir Robert Reid had no indignation against that act of his -own government, and yet now his well-trained and lofty principles, were horri- fied (National cries of "Oh," and "With- draw.) Mr T. P. O'Connor (N.. Liverpool. Scot- land) remarked that they had a. most 1111- wonted spectacle that afternoon. They had seen an Irish Attorney-General ashamed of iury-paching (Nationalist cicers). Why was ■iot: Sheridan punished ? The real criminal was the Attorney-General, who. prepared the packed jury. (Nationalist- cheers). Mr H. C. Richards (U., Finsbury, E.) said if there was any untainted evidence avail- able against Sheridan, why did not the Irish --art- lodge an information; and bring the "aso before the' courts ? Mr Rcbson (Bo., South Shields') was asto- nished at the almost explicit admission by the Attorney General of the practice of jury nocking in Ireland. (Nationalist oheer*). It was nothing than a. scandal and an out- rage- upon justice that this man Sheridan was not prc-sccuted. The Committee divided, and the reduction of the vot ewas negatived by 195 to 102.

Deutli of a Well-known Carmar- thenshire 4 Vet." Just r.s the bell in the old parish church of Llangendeirne toiled its old message cA ii, Sunday morning, the soul of one of the most faithful and best-respected public servants in the parish-and, indeed, in the county— severed for ever its connection with its mortal home. At l'hat hour. Mr Thomas Rees, veterinary surgeon, formerly of Clos- teg, now of Bankyrale, died at the advanced age of 8G yeaj's. The deceased gentlema-,ii had been in failing health for, many months, a protracted illness culminating in a, severe attack a few weeks ago. All that, medical skill could do to bring about relief was done by Dr Price, Carmarthen. There were occa- sional fitful rallies, but a strong will and a good constitution, were gradually worn down by a disease, the malignancy of which was materially fostered by old age. On Satur- day scant- hopes were entertained. There were doubts as to whether the patient, would last out the night, but, as if in response to his oft-expressed de-sire to die on Sunday, life still prevailed when the Sabbath dawned, and it was at the hour already mentioned that he. passed peacefully away. The Farrier," as the deceased was popu- larly known, was born at Closteg Farm, Llangemdeirne, and with the exception of a few year- before he attained his manhood, he resided in the parish all his life. A stu- dent by nature and a, lover of a.nimals, when a youth he adopted the study of veterinary surgeon as a hobby. Eventually, he prac- tised h-is amateur hand upoitai his father's stocky and this with such unique success that before very few years had rolled by his ser- vices were in -ever-increasing demand in all parts of the- parish. Steadily, this practice grew. A man generous to a degree, he was never known to charge for his labours nevertheless, he sacrificed his night's rst or his day's pleasure with apparent joy and nride. Eventually, his skill became a matter -If common knowledge, and from personal ob- servation, we know that he treated— especially during the last- twenty years—were brought to him as often as not from distances of thirty and even forty miles. Latterly be, had qualified as ,a. vet. surgeon, but long before he ever thought of his diploma he had won for himself the highest opinions of the best farmers in the county as a "master of his craft." All told, he has served his county in this direction, for about half a eenturv, arid the farming element owe him a debt which, would be difficult to "wipe off-more particularly as no one knows the extent of that grand work which he carried out so faithfully and unassumingly in his quiet out- of-the-world retreat at Closteg. During the past twelve months he had nriven up farming, and taken up his abode at Bankyrale, in the village of Llangendeirne— nt one time the residence of his sister, Mrs David Jons. Mr Bees was a Baptist, and for many voars had officiated as deacon in Beth- Church. Llangendeirne, and it might be ;,1 with undoubted truth that he was as much a Christian pillar of the Church as a credit to the parish of his birth. Deceased leaves a widow and one daughter (Mrs John .Tores, of Wrrn, Llanarthnev) to mourn his 1_(). The funeral, which, was one of the target seen in the parish for many years, took nlfce on Wednesday, the body being interred in the old graveyard connected with Bethel Church. The Bev W. T. Francis and others officiated.

Unrest in Africa. — :o;—. The Press Association correspondent writing from Pretoria, on Monday, says :—After a journey comprising a stay in the Cape and Orange River Colonies I have returned here with the object of seeing whether it is possi- ble to gauge the prospects under the peace settlement in South Africa. There is evi- dence on all hands that, a. reaction after the feeling of the relief at the cessation of hos- tilities has set in, and sundry discordant ele- ments are niow appearing, which require care- ful consideration. I have been at pains to find out from all available sources whether the historic docu- ment signed on May 31st will prove a really final settlement of the African troubles. It is impossible, to give a forecast, but the following facts may serve as indications in considering the situation The National scout's arc at present objects of the most bitter hatred—even persecution—on the part o'f the burghers who stayed in the field to the end. A few cases, of which, however, I have been unable to obtairii complete authentica- tion, are reported, in which former National Scouts are alleged to have been shot or beaten, and on all sides threats of vengeance and boycotting arc heard. So intense is the feeling that in order to distinguish themselves from the National Scouts or from those who took the oath of allegiance during the war, many burghers wear green badges. The employment of such men to hold authority in any way over other burghers scorns, judging from the present state of affairs, almost likely to result in a renewal of hostilities. There is no evidence in their conversation nor indeed any external signs that the Boers have abandoned their nationality. The Trans- vaal and Free State colours are freely worn, and the letters Z.A.R." in imitation of our j regimental badges are seen frequently. This exhibition of distinct nationality receives! every encouragement from the Dutch pro- fessional classes in the, town, very few of whom took parr in the active operations. Now they appear anxious that their lack of active co-operation may be condoned by words of ion:coiira,geirent,. Some of the Boer leaders, men who have signed the terms, of surrender, have not < failed to suggest to the burghers by mean* of veiled words that their Dutch na-tionalitv is not. gone if proper methods are employed to keep it alive. One leader openly preached the adviseablene.«s of opening Dutch schoob immediately—that is before the British should be able to organise and man a. system of education. Another lender, probablv wearied by the many difficulties attending the new state of things, said he thought i+ would perhans have been better if the bur- had staved in the field till all were killed or captured. This statement d,)i7lil less e-icrendnr-ft as much bv the complaints of the burghers as bv grief at the loss rf their independence. Many burghers state thnl fhev ver" induced to r.srroe to surrender V- f"e statements and rosy de^cvintions of the terms of peace which had hardly been justi- fiod in the result. In many cases burghers boldly accused their leaders to the faces of breach of faith. One of the signatories of the treaty of surrender addressed a. number of prisoners of wa. in one of the local camps. Apparently his words were misunderstood, all prisoners xcopt ten taking the oath of allegiance as a remit of the speech. Afterwards the leader ni question stated he had not fadvispd such a j course. Much mutual recrimination, followed. All these occurred in the towns. In the country, a somewhat different state of things obtains. There, the burghers are altogether too busy to discuss or talk much about, anything. The work of reeonsiruct'iig their lost fcrtulle", is too great to allow time for other things. 0111 all hands, however. there is increasing evidence, of a desire for some sort of a, channel through which the people can approach the Administration. Some advocate the appointment of a, pro- minent Dutchman onl the Executive. Council, others the appointment of some such person on the Repatriation Committee. There would certainly appear to be excellent opportunity of removing grounds of a. somewhat sullen though tacit bitterness. In the Transvaal and Orange River Colony tho problems cf settlement aro not insur- mountable, a,3 the slate is now clean. All depends, however, upon next year's legisla- tic-n. Lord Milner's ta.sk is a great one, but on every .side, even among the Dutch, ex- pressions cf admiration for and trust in his rule, are heard. REINFORCING DRAFTS. Reinforcing drafts for regiments serving in South Africa sailed from Liverpool on Tne-day in the transport Ionian. The drafts totalled 10 officers, two warrant officers, and 688 rank and file, and belonged to the Royal We-:ti Surrey Regiment. South Wales Bor- derers, Royal Irish Regiment, and South Staffordshire Regiment. The, troops arrived by train from Lichficld, Aldershot., and Farn- borough.

Ordination of a Carmarthen Student at Morriston. Special services in connection with the ordination of Mr. David Davies, of the Presbyterian College, Carmarthen, as pastor of Nebo Welsh Congregational Chuivh, Yelindre, near Morriston, took place on Monday.

The Prospects of Emigration at the Present Time. The July Circulars of the Emigrants' Information Office and the annual Editions of the penny Hand- bookit show the present prospects of emigration. The Notice Boards are now exhibited, and the Circulars may be obtained free of charge, at more than 900 Public Libraries, Lrban District Councils, and Institutions throughout the country. This is the seuson of the year for emigrant* to go to Canada. There is a good demand for capable men and boys who understand farm work, looking after cattle, horses and sheep, milking cows, &c. Even inexperienced hand* may get places, proTided they are willing to learn and are strong their wages at first will be nominal, but board and lodging will be supplied fr6P. As a rule single men are preferred everywhere, but married men with wives competent to take charge of dairy or laundry, and families able to work, have no difficulty in obtaining employment. Female servants also are in groat demand on farms and in towns. Speaking generally, mechanics and labourers are well employed at this lime Doth in towns and in country districts, but the labour market is unsettled in many parts owing to numerous strikes for higher wages and shorter hours, and the increasing cost of living. Thn most F.erions of these strikes was that of the longghore- men at Halifax this has now been settled, and wages has been fixed at 20 cents an hour, and 25 cents at night. In Biitis-h Columbia thfro la exceptional activity in the logging, lumbering, and shingle industries, but at the important mining town of ltossland there are pienty of labourers of all kinds at present," and at the largo coal mines cf Nanaimo, though the mines are working steadily. many men are idle, and prospects are very unsettled. In New South Wales trade continues fairly busy both in building and construction work. Shipping has fallen off. and some whart labourers haye beeu thrown out of employment. Country districts are suffering most fiom the sevcro drought, and in some purts it is impossible to obtain employment owing to want of water, And of feed for cattle. Coal miners are generally well employed, but silver mining at Broken Hill is very slack and many are out of work. The labouring classes generally are complairing of the increased cost of living owing to the new tedtral tariff. In Victoria there is no general demand for more labour. The drought continues to press heavily on large portions of the State, and seriously affects pastoral, agiicultural and mining industries in home country districts, however, good rains have fallen and competent farm labourers and milking hands are very scarce. In South Australia and Tasmania the local labour is sufficient. There is a good demand for farm labourers in the South of Queensland and in Western Australia, but more -.rineis are not wanted in either Colony. In New Zealand the building tradei have been buvy throughout the Colony, except at Wellington and a few smaller places. Men in the Bngineeing tradfs have been tliirly well employed except at Wellington and Iuvercargill. The clothing trade has, gent rally speaking, been fairly britk, especially ut Dunedin. The boot tnde as been moderately busy in many places. Flax millers I-ave been busy, and co-il miner* at Weetport.
