OUR LONCON LETTER. [From Our isjiet-id ([respondent."} Parhameiit will be reassembling oil November 15, and the air is thick with rumours as io what is going to happen. There are those who say that by that time the face of the Coisfere-nee will have been de- cirkd, and that the chosen Eight will submit their solution of the constitutional difficulty or announce their failure to come to any agreement at all. For days past there have oeen reports to the effect that they will sub- mit certain issues to an extended and en- larged Conference, and dissatisfied politi- cians have complained loudly at the idea of government by Conference instead of by the House of Commons. It must be admitted that these months of truce have been very j trying to ardent party men on both s'des, who d.'slike the idea of their leaders coming] to any agreement without the rank and iiie ] being taken into confidence. Assurances that that will be done before any decisive step is taken have failed to appease the grumblers, and there are abundant. symptoms of discontent in both camps. Whether there is any truth in the rumours of which the papers have been full is a matter upon which we shall no doubt have the fullest information before very lon.g, but it should be noted that the Prime Minister, in referring to the Conference in a speech to his constituents, wtate(I distinctly that everything t.hat has appeared in print on that subject is the purest guesswork. The deliberations of the chosen leaders have been conducted under the seal of the strictest. confidence, which has remained unbroken. "There has been, and there will be, no pre- mature or partial disclosure of results." Even if the Conference should fail to come to an agreement, Mr. Asquith holds that the experiment was very well worth trying, and that their labours have not been wholly thrown! away. And if they do find agree mem possible "it will be an agreement that can- not be made effective unless and until it has approved itself to the opinion and judgment of the country." Patience for a little longer is the counsel of the Prcmicr-ill short, "Wait and see." Recent Lord Mayors' Shows have been very different in character from the idiotic c-ireus processions which used to amble through the City every 9th of November. They have been in the nature of pageants, showing the Londoner something of the splendid history of this great city. This year's procession is to he on the same lines, and in it will be represented four episodes in the history of London, taken, from Shakes- peare's historical plays. The first will depict Henry V. returning to London after the Battle of Agincourt, and nearly one hun- dred characters, most of them on horseback, will take part in it. Falstaff and men of the Boar's Head in Eastelieap will appear' in the second; and in the third will he I shown the Duke of Gloucester escorting the little Princes to the Tower. The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs and Aldermen of the period will be represented in this episode. The principal figures in the fourth will be Henry VII, and Cardinal Wolsey, returning from the trial of Queen Catherine. The utmost attentiolll will be paid to historical detail, and the result should be a dignified and impressive pageant. There has been a good deal of dissatisfac- tion with regard to the manner in which tickets of admission to the Central Criminal Court during the Crippen trial were dis- tributed. Some newspajiers did not get tickets at all, and a representative, of a foreign journal only succeeded in gaining admission after application to the Lord Chief Justice personally. The authorities will, probably, say that there is not euificient accommodation in the court for all the Pressmen who desired admittance; but the journalists would have been very well satis- fied with a few of the seats which were .allotted to fashionably-dressed ladies and popular actors who were merely attracted to the court by curiosity. The "Law Times" has made a strong protest, and objects eiJpeeillly to the arrangement by which many of the ladies were actually accommo- dated with seats on the bench. This. it, points out, was done without the authority or approval of the Lord Chief Justice, but the City authoritieri exercise a control over the arrangements at the Central Criminal Court with which a judge cannot easily in- terfere. Another objector complains that it was not a public trial at all, but a triat by ticket, and that manlY of the tickets were alloted before the general public had an opportunity to apply for them Prince Alexander of Teck has announced his intention of continuing the good work done by his late brother, Prince Francis, in connection with the Middlesex Hospital. It will be remembered that shortly before his lamented death, Prince Francis was instru- mental in raising the sum of £ 20,000 to free the Hospital from debt. That debt. however, represented the accumulated deficits between income and expenditure for three years; and it was necssary, in order to make the finan- cial position of the institution secure, that a permanent addition of £ 7,000 per annum should be made to its income. It was Prince Francis's intention, if he had lived, to en- deavour to raise thefllrther sum necessary. Prince Alexander has now consented to suc- ceed his brother as Chairman of the Gover- nors of the Hospital, aud to devote hinwelf to the accomplishment of the object which was so dear to his brother's heart. In a letter to the Press his Serene Highness says that no more appropriate tribute could be paid to the. memory of Prince Francis than the establishment of the necessary endow- ment fund. The popularity of the Queen's Hall Ballad Concerts was never iiiore evident than on Saturday, when there W38 not a vacant seat .I:l'l!c.irt-1,L'()r in the building, and many people who de- I sired to hear the concert failed to gain ad- mission. The programme was, as always, very generou* in the direct-ion of quantity, and the <.t>.a]ify of the items was much to the liking of the audience, who were fre- I o^ei'ify roused to enthur.i'ssm. Mr. Fritz | Kreisler was in his finest form, and his play- i i'ng of the gems fr-mt o'd ina*tors whi h he j loves was a .O.K-er delight for musie-hners. One of the attractions of the Ballad Con- certs for amateurs is the certainty of hearing notable new songs, and to re were several of these on Saturday, while old favourite? were not forgotten! lr, Benno Schonbcrger j played pianoforte solos e-xe-r'Hently. and Madame Kirkby L»--i;t.. Miss Margaret- Couper. and Ir. i Eumrord were j among the many popular v; earist.s who ap- peared. A. E. M.

AIRSHIP FOR THE NATION. Mr. Arthur chairman of the Parlia- mentary Aerial Defence Committee, -states that the airship Cletoent •> y-ird II.. which recently flew from i* i i* to Worm wo: d Scrubs, has been pureha eel 'iy th War Of' From the e..ri(.pondviice whu-n preceded the acquisition it appears that M. Clement's price for his airship was first fixed at £ 25,000. The War Office, pointing but th'-t the envelope was somewhat worn, offered £ 17,000, subject- to tests being satisfactory. M. Clement then offered to provide a new envelope and to reduce his price to £ 22,000. The War Office expressed willingness to accept this offer, or to pay £18,000 for the airship with its present envelope, provided the tests were passed. The tests appeared, however, to be an ob- stacle. and ultimately the War Office agreed to pay £ 12,Ti00 for the airship as it stands without tests, and a sum to cover expenses incurred since its arrival in this country. M. Clement declined to reduce his price, and ultimately the Aerial Defence Committee, than the negotiations should break down, agreed to become responsible for the £ 5,500 ne<" s*ary to make up the £ 18.000 required. A generous-donor has offered to provide the £ 5,500. and the airship therefore becomes the. property of the nation, at a cost of £ 12.500 to the public. o

CHARING CROSS BANK. The Lord Mayor of Loudon, Sir John Knill, has declined the request of Sir W. H. Dunn for permission to hold a. meeting in the Man- sioll House in aid of the sufferers by the failure of the Charing Cross Bank. The Lord Mayor in his reply said "As I am vacating £ he Mr.voralty in a few days, I have thought it right to consult the .Lord Mayor-e'ect and ot)> rs of our alder- manic colleagues on the subject, and they all concur with me that, for a matter of tills kind, the Mansion House cannot bv app:o- priately employed. In declining, for this reason, your request, I hope I may add that no tloubt-as in the Liberator ease— eteps will be taken by private persons and in other ways to mitigate the sufferings attendant upon this unfortunate financial disaster, and that I sincerely trust such steps will be ample and successful." It is stated that the reason for the refusal of the Mansion House is that the Charing Cross Bank was a commercial concern, and it was feared that the use of the Mansion House for a fund of this character might create an un- fortunate- precedent. An appeal under the auspices of the Advisory Committee, soon to be appointed, is now being contemplated.

COMPENSATION FOR CANCER. An important decision under the Workmen's Compensation Act was given by Judge Emden in the Lambeth County-court. Mrs. Sarah Barkas, a widow living in Liverpool-street, Will worth, applied for compensation for the loss of her husband, builder's labourer. The applicant's case was that on March 10 the deceased was engaged in the demolition of a building, when a. nail in some wood caught his coat and caused him to fall a distance of 14ft. He bruised his back, his ribs and itPkle, and suffered internal injuries .resulting- in caneer. which caused his death. His employers denied liability and the existence of internal injuries and contended that the cancer which caused death was not caused or hastened by the accident. Judge Emden, in giving judgment, said that ) the balance of the evidence was in favour of j the contention that the man's death was accele- J rated in er-isequence of the growth of the can- j cer having been hastened by the accident. There must be an award of E-216 18:4.. less £ 10 lis. 6d. already paid. A stay of execution was granted pending notice of appeal being gl \'('11.

FORGOTTEN BANNS. A Lakeland couple who had made arrange- ments to be married have had an embarrassing experience. On the day before that fixed for the ceremony the clergyman of the parish dis- covered that lie had omitted to publish the bariiu*. It was impossible to secure a special licence in the time in the town where the event was to take place, so the clergyman sent the couple by train to a neighbouring town on the eharue of procuring a special licence there. The vicar of that parish was also unable to procure the licence without notice, but sent his curate to the cathedral city, about forty miles distant, by the first train the following morn- ing on a quest for a licence. The necessary arrangement-* having been, made, the papers were forwarded, the viclar who was to officiate himself meeting the train by which they were brought. At length, about two p.m., six hours after the, time arranged for the ceremony, the couple stood before the communion rails.

WARM WELCOME AT CAPE TOWN. The Duke of Con naught received an entlntsi-. astic welcome on his landing at Cape ToWn on Monday to open the first Union Parliament ef South Africa in the name of the King. The Duke and Duchess, Princess Patricia and their siiite wert, received hv Lord Glad- stone. (Governor-General). General Botha (the Union Premier). the Mayor of Cape Town, and all the principal civil and military officials. All the streets had been decorated, and troops lined the streets. The Roval party were escorted to the City Hall by the Cape Mounted Rifles. All Cap Town had turned out to greet the visitors, and as their carriage proceeded at a walking pace along the mnin thoroughfare the greet- ing extended to them was enthusiastic in the extreme. Both the Duke and Duchess, who seemed deeply moved by the warmth and cordiality of their reception, acknowledged the people's: greetings. At t-he City Hall the municipal councillors and all the religious denominations had cs- (sembled, a striking feature of the; assembly being the presence of a number of Indians, A hearty reception was accorded the Duke and Duchess, and many addresses of welcome wer-3 presented. w The Duke, in reply, expressed in the King's name his thanks for their loyaltv and devo- tion, and assured them of his Majesty's un- z failing interest in their welfare. The first session of the first Union Parlia- ment assembled at noon, and the Chief Jus- tice administered the oath to the members. All the documents in connection with th'3 preliminary procedure were read in English and then in Dutch.

SMART RAILWAY FRAUD. An ingenious method of defrauding the Loti- (n and South-Western Railway Company was described at Westminster Police-court on Mon- day when Alfred Miller, of Walworth, wait summoned for travelling beyond the distance for which he had paid his fare. It wan stated that Miller, who had previously been convicted of a similar offence, took a- third-class workman's ticket from London to. Surbitoiu Then he took a. ticket to Woking, where he obtained a return ticket to Guild- ford. Later in the day lie seen to return to Woking,. where lie entered a London train, handing up at Vauxhall the return half of his workman's ticket, to Surbiton. He thus ile- frauded the railway company of the f-are front Woking to Surbiton. Mr. Horace Smith: I think he must lay awake all ni lit plotting how o tdo this. The defendant's only excuse WM' that he was very poor. lie was fined 40s. and IC2 2K. costs,.

SCALDED TO DEATH. Two men were on Monday scalded to deafli and others received lesser injuries as a result of an explosion at the Charing Cross, West- end and City Electric Supply Co.'s geiieratink. station in Marsh gate-la ye, Stratford. A number of workmen we re in the haw merit storeroom putting a valve on the main pipe, when the valvcbkw open and steam poured out at a pressure of 1801b. to the square inch. The men standing round acre hurled to the ground, and the room was plunged into d¡uk "i.i;. lWSS by the electric light failing. Loud eries gave the alarm that something was amiss, and the power was quickly shut off. It was then found that the foreman and rt fitter had been killed, and their bodies were removed to West Ham mortuary. Three other workmen were treated at West Ham Hospital for scalds to the face and luuide. The men killed were J. Kingston, Mordea- grove, Lewisharo and II. Hands. Three Milla- Iane, Bromley. One of the injured men afterwards gave a graphic description of hk experience. He said: "I never thought 1 was going to see day- light Tins its new work, connecting the valve to -ne, m&m pipe. The foreman lItllckw his post, and he bag paid for it dearly. I was standing wIth mv mate about ten yards away, £ (}-1Jd was flung on my knees against, the waIL, I crawled to where I thought the door WHO, and found myself clinging to an engine.
