Yr Adran Gymraeg.
Yr Adran Gymraeg. A ydyw Dadgorphoriad y Senedd yn Agos ? Y MAE eto gryn lawer o sisial mewn rhai cylchoedd fod y Llywodraeth ar fedr tori i fynu y Senedd ac apelio at y wlad yn mhen ychydig wythnosau. Nid oes am- heuaeth nad ydyw swyddogion y pleidiau wedi cael awgrym i osod eu peirianwaith etholiadol mewn cyflwr parod i hyny, ond gall hyn fod yn tarddu oddiar y dybiaeth fod pethau mewn cyflwr lied esgeulus, ac er nad oes angenrheidrwydd yn galw am doriad y Senedd am ddwy flynedd eto, efallai nad ydyw hyny yn ormod i ddwyn y pair i drefn yn wyneb y cyflwr cysglyd a didaro y mae pethau wedi myned iddo yn bresenol. Dichon na fu adeg erioed pryd y bu mor lleied o gyffro rhwng y pleidiau. Mae hyn i'w briodoli i'r ffaith fod masnach a llafur mewn cyflwr mor neullduol o flodeuog, fel nad oes fawr o amser na thuedd i gweryla yn mlith y cyhoedd. Ac y mae y rhyfel presenol wedi dwyn y bobl i'r fath unfrydedd fel na chlywir fawr son am Whig a Thori y dyddiau hyd. Da oedd i'r wlad gael ychydig seibiant oddiwrth y dwndwr pleidiol oedd mor gyffredin cyn 1B95. Ond pa bryd bynag y daw yr apel at y wlad, bydd yr hyn a osodir yn mlaen ar faner y gwahanol bleidiau yn hynod wa- hanol i'r hyn y gofynwyd barn y wlad arno yn yr etholiad diweddaf. Pa son sydd heddyw am Home Rule i'r Werddon, neu am Dadgysylltiad i Gymru ? Dyna oedd y pynciau bum mlynedd yn ol. A phrin y gellir dweyd fod unrhyw raglen neullduol o wleidyddiaeth ddyfodol yn cael ei chynyg gan y naill na'r llall i'r pleidiau. Os apelir at y wlad ar fater y rhyfel ni atebai hyny ddyben yn y byd, oherwydd y mae yr unfrydedd sydd wedi ei ddangos yn mhlith pob dosbarth yn brawf fod y wlad yn lied drwyadl yn cefnogi y Llywodraeth. Fel rheol ymleddir etholiad cyffredinol ar bynciau cynygiedig ar gyfer y dyfodol yn hytrach nac er cael barn y bobl ar yr hyn sydd wedi myned heibio. Ac y mae y rhyfel a chynydd masnach wedi peri i'r pleidiau fod mor brysur fel nad oes amser na thuedd gan neb i gynllunio rhaglen newydd.
4.-Cwrs y Rhyfel.
4. Cwrs y Rhyfel. LLUSGO yn mlaen i bob ymddangosiad yn lied araf y mae cwrs y rhyfel, ac nid oes fawr argoel y cyflawnir prophwydoliaeth y Cad-lywydd Wolseley, ychydig wyth- nosau yn ol, y byddai i faner Prydain gael ei chodi yn Pretoria oddeutu canol mis Mai. Tebycach heddyw ydyw mynegiad y Cadfridog Kitchener, y ceir gweled hyny oddeutu tri mis wedi hyn. Achos yr oediad yn ddiau yw fod anhawsderau mwy nas gall neb ddychmygu ynglyn a chludiad y celfi a'r ystorfeydd i gynal oddeutu dau can mil o wyr, ynghyd a'r anifeiliaid afrifed sydd yn angenrheidiol iddynt. Ac y mae hefyd yn orchwyl pwysig i amddiffyn pob cam o'r daith rhag i'r gelyn cyfrwys dori y cysylltiadau teithiol. Nid oes fawr o ddim pwysig wedi ei wneyd yn hysbys yn ystod yr wythnos ddiweddaf, oddieithr fod Mafeking eto yn sefyll, ac hefyd fod y Milwriad Plumer, er wedi dod o fewn ychydig filldiroedd i'r dref warchaeedig, hyd yn hyd heb fedru ei chynorthwyo, ac y mae y gelyn eto yn ei hamgylchu. Nid raid aros yn hir eto fodd bynag, oherwydd fod Portugal wedi caniatau i Brydain i lanio byddin gref ar eu tiriogaeth yn Beira, dan Syr Frederick Carrington, a thrwy hyny byddis yn alluog i estyn ymwared i Mafeking drwy amgylchu y Transvaal o'r gogledd. Wrth gwrs y mae Kruger yn chwythu bygytliion ofnadwy oherwydd y gymwvnas hon. Gresyn na buasid wedi mabwysiadu y cynllun hwn yn hir cyn hyn. Yr unig ymladd sydd wedi bod yn ddiweddar yw yr ymosodiad y mae y Boeriaid }?n ei wneyd ar Wepener, tref fechan i'r dehau-ddwyrain o'r Orange Free State, lie y mae rhai o'r Milwyr Awstralaidd yn dal allan yn hynod ddewr. Dywedir fod y Boeriaid yn gwangaloni yn mhob cyfeiriad. Achoswyd cryn lawer o siarad a chroes- feirniadu drwy y wlad hon ddydd Mercher oherwydd cyhoeddiad llythyrau Syr Charles Warren a Syr Redvers Buller ar yr amgylchiad galarus a'r anffawd ar Spion Kop. Cyhoeddir hefyd feirniadaeth y Cad-lywydd Roberts ar y llythyrau hyny, yn yr hon y mae y Cadfridog byd-enwog, tra yn cymeradwyo cynllun Warren, yn beio Buller ac yntau am na buasai wedi cael ei gario allan yn llwyddianus. Dangosir fod yr anffawd i'w briodoli i swyddog is- raddol, ond beia y cadfridogion am fod yn rhy lac yn eu hawdurdod.

-+ Terrible Fall at Abergele.
+ Terrible Fall at Abergele. A Plasterer Killed. A painful sensation was caused in Pensarn and Abergcle on Thursday by the shocking death which befel a plasterer named William Evans, who was engaged in carrying out some alterations in a house at Pensarn. The facts of the case are detailed in the following report of the inquest, which was held on Saturday in the Church House, Abergele, before Dr Hughes. the West Denbighshire Coroner. The following gentlemen acted on the jury :— Messrs J. C. Knight (forman), Edward James, Edward Williams, Thomas Davies, John Bevan, John Gill, Owen Jones, Richard Morris, William Littler, David Roberts, Owen Roberts, William Jones, J. Kerfoot. W. Williams and Richard Edwards. The first witness called was Isaac Jones, a labourer, of Jenkyn-street, Abergele. Witness said he and the deceased about 3 p.m. on Thursday were standing on two planks, which formed part of a scaffolding erected in front of a house in Pensarn, which was undergoing repairs. They were about 28 feet above the ground. Deceased took hold of a brick in the wall, and thinking it was rather fast gave it a sharp pull. The brick came away easily, and the deceased, who was 65 years of age, lost his balance and fell on to the flags below, his head STRIKING THE PAVEMENT WITH A SICKENING THUD. The poor fellow lay unconscious in a heap. Wit- ness then got off the scaffold and assisted to carry the body into the Market Hall. Dr Wolstenholme was sent for and made an examination of the deceased. Dr Wolstenholme, J.P., then gave the details of the examination. He first heard of the accident through two gentlemen. He at once hurried to the Hall, and found the deceased lying unconscious on the slabs. He examined the head carefully and found a huge contusion on the side of the right temple. There was an indentation evidently caused by the awful blow. The bone was crushed, and blood was issuing from the mouth and nose. During his examination the pulsation of the heart ceased. Frorp the preternatural mobility of the head, it was evident that the neck was dislocated, and death was almost instantaneous. The Coroner said that was all the evidence necessary. It was a shocking death, and showed the necessity of their being some protection on scaffolds to save men from such accidents. He often thought that the majority of scaffoldings were not put up with sufficient care. It would be very easy if railings, even if they were only rope, could be placed around the planks when men worked so high up. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death."

St. Asaph Board of Guardians.
St. Asaph Board of Guardians. Congratulations to the Prince of Wales. Awkward Predicament of Overseers. THE fortnightly meeting of the St. Asaph Board of Guardians was held on Friday under the pre- sidency of Mr LI. Jones. The following mem- bers were present:—Messrs John Williams, Hugh Roberts, Wm. Jones, John Lloyd, Gwilym Parry, Morris Jones, John Evans, Joseph Jones, J. D. Jones, John Kertoot, Robert Griffiths,Owen Owens, Joseph Roberts, Robert Morris, J. H. Ellis, G. F. Gunner, Robert Davies, P. Mostyn Williams, Mrs Robert Jones, Mrs Rawlins, Miss Bennett, with the clerk (Mr Charles Grimsley). The Children's Accommodation. At the last meeting it was decided that the children should be allowed the use of the dining hall every day of the week except Board days, when the Guardians required it for their own purposes. The master and matron now appeared before the Board, and said that such a change was hardly necessary, inasmuch as the children were engaged in various occupations after coming in from school, and that it would be useless trouble on the part of the officials to have got the room ready. On a division the resolution was rescinded. The Prince of Wales' Adventure. A "UNIQUE" RESOLUTION. The Chairman said he had rather a unique resolution to propose, and fortunately the occa- sion did not arise frequently. They were all aware that a few days ago a dastardly attempt was made upon the life of the Prince of Wales. One could hardly conceive how a man in his right mind could attempt to do what he did, and especially for the reasons he gave. The man must have known little about the country's form of government otherwise he would not have committed such an outrage. To blame the Prince of Whales for the war was as absurd as to blame him for a shower of rain. He was sure that they, as Welshmen, were particularly PROUD OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, because his title was adopted from their country, Therefore, it was their duty as residents in the Principality to propose the following resolu- tion:—"We, as the St. Asaph Board of Guar- dians, desire to join in the nation's thankfulness that providence had preserved your Royal High- ness and Princess from the dastardly attack upon your life." Mr Edwin Morgan said he endorsed the re- marks of the chairman, and begged to second the resolution, which was unanimously carried. A Bangor Request Ordered to Lie on the Table. A letter was read from the Bangor and Beau- maris Union asking the Board to adopt a resolu- tion calling the attention of the Local Govern- ment Board to the difficulty experience d by Boards of Guardians in retaining in small Union hospitals the services of trained nurses, and that the guardians take steps to define more clearly the respective duties of the matron and the nurse in respect to the workhouse. Mr Joseph Jones proposed that the Board ac- cede to the request. Mr J. H. Ellis proposed an amendment that the letter lie on the table. Air Robert Morris, in seconding, said it would never do to define the work of the officials. Each one would be saying it was not part of their work, etc. The amendment was adopted. A Carnarvon Request Refused. An application from the Carnarvon Ladies' Association, asking for a subscription towards their fund for the care of friendless girls, was refused. Infant Life Protection Act. The House Committee recommended that the officers appointed under the Infant Life Protec- tion Act at a remuneration of £ 2 per year, be re- engaged for another three years. in connection with this question, the Clerk reported that he had received £ 1 10s, a portion of the fine inflicted in the recent baby-farming case at Dyserth. It would go to the funds of the Board. It was agreed to pay Mr Bromley one-and-a- half guineas for the trouble be took in the case. The County Rate. HALF-YEARLY ESTIMATES. The Clerk produced his estimates for the half year. He had included for county rate pur- poses 3^d in the £ from Denbighshire and 4%d from Flintshire. Before adopting those figures, he communicated wth the clerks of the County Councils, who had approved of them. The committee, however, seemed to think they were rather high, and said that it ought to be 4d for Flintshire and 3^d for Denbighshire. Mr Mostyn Williams proposed that the rate for Flint be 4d instead of 4%d. He was sorry to notice that their expenditure was increasing as compared with Denbighshire. Their rateable value was ^96,000, as against ^80,000 in Den- bighshire. A rate of 3^d on the latter amount, and a rate of 4% on £96,000 told a tale. Out of ^2,800 they had to contribute £I,iïo, as against £ 1,050 in Denbighshire. This matter ought to be looked into, although he did not know who was to blame. The clerk's estimates were eventually adopted The Overseers of St. George. UNPLEASANT PREDICAMENT. DISTRESS WARRANTS ISSUED. The Clerk said that, in accordance with in. structions given at the last meeting, he pro. ceeded against the overseers of St. George for the non-payment of calls, and distress warrants were issued,which would be levied on their goods if put in the hands of the officers. Mr Griffiths: Have they been put in force? The Clerk: No, the warrants are in my pos- session at present. I should suggest that the Board give me instructions to call the attention of the St. George Parish Council to the proceed- ings the Board have taken,and to suggest to them that the consideration of the appointment of assistant overseer should engage their attention, so that his successor might be appointed. The assistant overseer admitted to me that he ha.d been MAKING USE OF THE MONEY he had collected. Still he was in office, until his successor was appointed. j Mr Joseph Jones Has he got the books? Mr J. D. Jones No, he has not got them now. I should like to ask the clerk's opinion on this point. What are we to do in case we cannot find anyone willing to act as overseers in such a small parish? After a case like this everybody will be chary of acting as overseers. The Clerk said it was for the Parish Council to appoint the overseers. Until the new ones J were appointed, the old members were in office, Those who were appointed were obliged to act. j The clerk's suggestion was adopted.
