SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. POPE, K.C. General regret has been occasioned in legal and many other circles by the announcement of the death of Mr. Pope, K.C., the far-famed leader of the Parliamentary Bar, who passed away at his London residence on Tuesday. Mr. Pope, who was born in 1826, was engaged at first in business a.t Manchester, and was not called to the Bar until 1858. Then he practised for some years in Man- chester, his native town, and came to London in 1865. Thenceforward his success was rapid, and in turn he became a Q.C. and Recorder of Bolton in 1869, a J.P. for Merionethshire in 1877, a D.L. in 1879, and a Bencher of the Middle Temple in 1880. Mr. Pope married in 1848 Hannah, daughter af Thomas Bury, Timperley, who died in 1880.

CAMBRIAN GOSSIP. Mr. Lloyd George, M P., when he appeared at Pontypridd, fulfilled hia last public en- gagement in the-provinces before proceed- ing to Austria, to spend a well earned holi- day. 000 The estate of the late Daniel Edwards, the Welsh-American millionaire, who re- cently died at Kingston, amounts to three and a quarter millions, and has been divided between his three daughters. 000 Mr. John Griffiths, of the Wrexham Post Office, who has just been appointed to sue ceed the late Mr. R. R. Hughes (Cynfoel), as postmarter at Blaenau Festiniog, is a native of Llanberis, and commenced his postal career as a telegraph messenger at the Llanberis Post Office, under the direc- tion of the la', e Mr, Robert Williams. 000 The visit of the Gorsedd of the Bards of the Isle of Britain to the Pan-Celtic Con- gress to be held at Dublin next month, will be a new departure in its annals. Nothing of the kind has bean known since the days of Gruff'ydd Ap Cynan, who convened a congress of Irish and Welsh bards at Caer- wys, in Flintshire, in the year 1105, to codify the rules of Welsh music and poetry. 000 According to the annual report of Profes- sor Ellis Edwards, M.A there are now 39 students at Biila College-ttie largest num- ber since the institution has been converted into a purely theological institution. In addition, there are 42 at the preparatory schcol. All are ministerial students, and two belong to the Congregational church. 000 Boatmen are almost as smart as cabbies at witty retorts. The other day a Bar mouth boatman gave to a visitor such a glowing account of the health-giving pro perties of that popular resort that the visitor at last remarked Really from what you say, it is a great wonder that anybody ever dies ac Barmouth at all.' '\Vli,' said the boatman, his seasoned face betraying so sign of mirth," to tell you the truth, sir, that is about the very last thing we do at Barmout/i.' 000 Celtfa■' states that among di-tinguished visitors to this year's Pan-Celtic Congress will be the Hon. Mrs. Herbert, of Llanover, daughter of Lady Llanower, who created the Eisteddvod and rescued it from decay.' Principal Rbys, of Oxford, Professor Anwyl, of Aberystwyth,and—heaven help the bards! —Professor Morris Jones, of Bangor. There will also be a number of Breton and High- land visitors. The festive portion of the Congress will be inaugurates by a PaIJ- Celtic procession. This procession is to be a repetition of the memorable procession. at Cardiff two years ago, but on a more imposing scale.' 000 The members of the Senata South West University College of the Wesleyan Epis copal church of America, decided at their last meeting to confer the honorary degiee oi Doctor of D'vinity upon the Rev. John Hughes (Glanystwyth), of Bangor, the Welsh Wesleyan Methodist Editor and Book Steward, and the chairman for the ensuing year of the Provincial Assembly of the Wealeyans. Mr. Hughes is one of the great prsachers of the connexion, and the author of several theological works, the best-known being his 'Life of Christ,' The Early Ages of the World,' 'A Commentary on the Epistle to the Colostians,' and a volume of sermons. 000 In the pages of Seren Gomer,' the Welsh Baptist magazine, the Rev. Thomas Shank- land, Rhyl, continues to render valuable services to Welsh history by his articles on Welsh N oncoaformity in the days of Crom- well. Mr. Shankland has been spending many laborious days among the musty records of the period, and he assures us in his present artice 'that the strength of the Nonconformity of Wales in the days of Cromwell becomes clearer as the light of history is being shed on the period and its movements, Ic is very few, indeed, who know the Nonconformity of that time in Wales, and even our historians have but little knowledge of the Noncoi-formist fathers.' 000 Mr. W. J. Parry, of C.oetmor Hall, Beth- esda, is preparing a kind oi bibliography of the labour troubles at the Penrhyn quarry since 1865. Mr. Parry is about the only living.man who could do it. From the year mentioned he has carefully kept newspaper cuttings about the various disputes, and in that way has acquired what may be called a strike library. Moreover, Mr. Pany's hos- pitable roof has sheltered nearly all the principal representatives of daily journals, specially sent ^wn to 'do' the various strikes from tirna to time. among them Mr. Lucy, late of t e Daily News,' and Mr. G. A. Sala, of the 4 Telegraph.' Mr. Parry's new history-will include all the documents emanating from the management, and from the men during the period referred to. He could add much of iMerest in the shape of personal impred i and reminiscences. 00 Sergeant Thorn Williams is engaged in an experiment n will be watched with a good deal of and sympathy by pe- destrians ir th." neighbourhood of Taff's Well. The scorching nuisance has reached almost scandalous proportions in this dis- trict, and efforts are now being made to exterminate the evil. With this object Sergeant Williams is utilising a kind of observatory near the police station, from which he is able to time to the second the cyclist's rate of speed from a given point. This arrangement recalls another ingenious method adapted by the game officer A series of sensational thetts occurred in the Caerphilly district some years ago, and owing to the complete absence of incrimina- ting evidence, the efforts of the police threatened to prove quite unavailing. Ser- geant Williams, however, nothing daunted, had casts prepared of the footmarks seen in the vicinity of the thefts, and in each case succeeded in bringing the culprits to book. The plaster of Paris casts, numbering over a score, are now deposited in Taft's Well Police Station, and form a nucleus of a criminal' museum. 000 The Welsh Language Society, now that it has been reorganised, will, it is to be hoped, justify the expectations formed of it. Mr. J. Daviea Brown, M-A., the newly appointed secretary of the new organisation is himself (so declares the writer of the Welsh Notes in the 'Mercury') a product, one might almost say the first fruit, of the movement initiated by the original Welsh Utilisation Society, which the new organisation, now replaces. Born of Welsh parents residing in tbe most Anglicised town in Wales, sur- rounded on all hands by Anglicising influ. ences,'John D. Brown, while a lad atichool, was, through the clear-sightedness of his father,' Tom Brown,' brought up under the influences of the educational principles o ;be Welsh Utilisation Society. A lad of exceptional promise, he threw himselt aeartily into the task of justifying in his awn experience the policy of the society uf which his father was an ardent member. [n the Welsh Sunday School Union exami- oations he quickly attained the highest position. He also pushed ahead in his or dinary sudies, secured a Cradock Wells Scholarship to the Cardiif Higher Grade School, and finally securing his degree with honours in Welsh. He is now probably the youngest (in years) M.A. or the University of Wales. 000 'I do not think,' writes Alr. J. IT. lean, the ex-member for Cardiff, in the course of his autobiography now being pub. lished, there is any pleasure in life to be compared with the joyful excitement which thrills one's whole being when one is for the first time elected to Parliament to represent a great popular constituency. I did not feel the same emotion afterwards, either at Oldham or at Cardiff, but in 1885 I would not have changed places with any man in England.,

WHITECIIAPEL ART GALLERY. Mr. Asquith opened on the 24th inst., at the White chapel Art Gallery, an exhibition of Chinese industry and art, and in a short speech reviewed the great success which had followed the attempt, made originally from Toynbee Hall, to foster in the East-end the taste for pictures and beautiful things. He also touched upon the multiplication of art galleries and museums throughout the country, and specially commended thp present ex- hibition as being likely to enlighten people's minds upon the manners and customs of a country about which we heard so much.

Lord Milner on Tuesday had a magnificent j reception at the Guildhall on receiving the Free- lom of the City of London in a casket, in recogni- tion of his services to the State. The Duke of Devonshire, Mr. Chamberlain, and Lord Cromer were among those present at the ceremony. Addressing Lord Milner, the Lord Mayor re- eounted his public services, laying stress upon his efforts to avoid the war which had been forced on this country, remarking that the Empire had stamped his work with the seal of grateful satis- faction. Lord Milner, who was greeted with great cheer- ing, then said: My Lord Mayor, it would be difficult for me without seeming to use exaggerated language, to express how deep is my sense of the greatness of the honour just conferred on me. The freedom of the City of London—the premier city of the British Empire—is one of the greatest, as it is one of the most coveted honours that can be bestowed on any public servant. The fact that the Court of Common Council should have selected this moment to accord me the honour and those privileges is a fresh proof—perhaps the most striking I have yet received—of the great gene- rosity with which the British people are disposed to treat those of their fellow-countrymen who are called on, whether in a civil or a military capacity, to battle for the interests of the Empire abroad, especially when they are seen to be beset with great difficulties. (Hear, hear.) The impulse to back a man who is thought to be trying to do his best in a tight place, the tendency to appreciate his efforts, to sympathise with his difficulties, and not to be too much down on his mistakes, is a natural characteristic. I do not mean to say that this is an absolutely universal I attitude. We have now among us, as we have had at all times of great external pressure, a certain section of the community who are predisposed to think the worst of their fellow-countrymen— (hear, hear)—to believe readily every accusation, to attribute preposterous motives, and to give vent to their anti-national bias in language vicing in intemperance, with that of the subsidised tra- ducers of Great Britain in foreign lands. (Cheers.) But these aberrations only serve to bring out in stronger relief the very different temper which animates the great bulk of the nation—(hear, hear)—and it would be gross ingratitude if ary public servant, exposed though he may be to that sort of criticism, was to make an outcry or pose as a martyr when he has such splendid compensa- tion on the other side as is afforded by the kindly forbearing and sympathetic judgment of the great majority of his countrymen whose approval is at once the highest reward and the strongest en- couragement which can be afforded him. (Cheers.) I ventured when leaving Cape Town some months ago to try and reassure some doubting hearts by pointing to the remarkable and almost phenomenal steadfastness of British public feeling with regard to this question of South Africa. Now that I have been a little time at home I feel more confident than ever on that point. (Cheers.) Having regard 1 to the tendency of our system of party government to accentuate differences of opinion and even to create them, it seems to me that the virtual agreement of the great body of the nation is a most impressive fact. (Hear, hear.) With any amount of differences and discussions as to detail one cannot but be conscious of the great underlying unanimity of opinion with regard to all the main issues. The old illusion so sedulously fostered, and at one time, so dangerous, that the war was due to the intrigues of capitalists, or to any personal or petty cause, is now practically ex- tinct. (Hear, hear.) The great national issue at the bottom of it is, I believe, recognised by the vast majority of thinking men. It may not even now be as clear as it will be in the pages of his- tory—(hear, hear)—but for all practical purposes it is evident already—(cheers)—and that issue having once been clearly raised there is virtually no difference as to the answer which at whatever cost must be given. (Loud cheers.) Deef and universal as is the longing for peace, anxious as we all are to make submission easy to every he Ms-arable enemy—(hear, hear)—they are, I think, few indeed who would be willing to pur- chssae pence by any concessions that might com- pi-esnise the future—(loud cheers)—or to run the risk of popularising rebellion by treating repeated deliberate and crime-stained treason as a venial offence. (Renewed cheers.) There is surely au immense difference, morally speaking, between those stout old burghers who still adhere to their original leaders in the ex-Republics, and the roving rwans-British subjects if you please-who are harrying their fellow British subjects in our own colony. (Cheers.) But side by side with the determination to bring this struggle to an honour- able and conclusive close there is, if I do not greatly misread the minds of my fellow-country- men, a no less general resolve to treat the burghers of the two late Republics, when the war is over, with such fairness and even with such generosity (hear, hear) — as will help them to accept the position, and in the long run to acquire the sentiment of British citizenship. We must show them, we shall show them, in the noble words of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. that if they have lost their independence they have not lost their freedom. (Cheers.) These are great points of almost general agreement among the British people to-day irrespective of party; and last, but not least, there is the general recognition, which at one time was certainly far from being strong enough, of the true character and the splendid devotion to the Empire of the South African loyalists—(cheers)—of their importance to us and the duty we owe to them. Let us beware in trying to win, as I believe we shall win, the hearts of our former enemies lest we alienate the confidence of those who have all along been our friends. (Cheers.) The problem is not an insoluble one, but its great complexity ought always to be borne in mind, and it ought to make us cautious with regard to the constitutional problems in the two new States and in the ultimate South African Confederation. (Cheers.) For my own part I have great confidence in the efficacy of impartial an.1 ineoiruptible government—(hear, hear)—of a bold development of the vast natural resources of the country and of a gradual and prudent introduction of self-governing institu- tions to heal eld sores, to create new interests, and gradually to bring diverse sections of ,the people to cc-operate for the good of their common country. (Cheers.) In what I have just said I have not been speaking purely theoretically, nor am I speaking entirely of the future. The work of reconstruction has even now begun. (Hear, hear.) Owing to the fact that it goes on concurrently with military operations it is doubtless more slow, it is more hindered, inevitably so, than we should wish to see it, but I am all in favour of pushing it on vigorously, in spite of all drawbacks. It is not only by chasing the enemy in the still dis- turbed districts of the country—it is by giving the world an object-lesson in good government and reviving industry in the more or less settled dis- tricts that this struggle is to be brought to a close, and Great Britain relieved from what has well been described as obsession in South Africa. (Hoar, hear.) I do not know whether I ought to apologise for the length of these general remarks. I should like to conclude as I began, by express- ing to you and the members of the Common Council, and the citizens of London, my deep obli- gation for the great and exceptional honour just con- ferred on me. You are helping to send me back greatly strengthened and encouraged by the honour bestowed on me by your kind words, my Lord Mayor, and by this most cordial reception— greatly strengthened and encouraged to carry out my share, whatever it may be, in the task which lies betVre British statesmanship in South Africa. That task may prove too heavy for me—(no, no)- as it might for any individual, so many and excep- tional are the difficulties, but if so, some other man will take it up and bring it to a success- ful termination. What I feel is that despite all the difficulties, there are not lack- ing locally the essential conditions of suc- cess. It only requires the continuance of that steadfastness and resolution which has so remark- ably characterised the public temper of Great Britain throughout this long struggle, that sane, that liberal, that persistent and yet wholly unvin- dictive spirit in which all your sacrifices for South Africa have been faced, in order to bring about the ultimate achievement of those great national objects for which the sacrifices have been made. (Prolonged cheers.) W Milner subsequently drove with the Lord Mayor in his carriage to the Mansion House, where luncheon was partaken of by the High Cooimis- aismer and a group of distinguished guesil. ths jwweedings being private.
