FRIENDLY MATCHES. SHREWSBURY TOWN V CHIBK.—A friendly game was played hy these teams on the Shrewsbury ground. The homo forwards had the best of the exchanges throughout, aod won by three goals to none. MACHYXLLKTH v TOWYN.—The game on Satur- day on the Machynlleth arena turned out tojbea much fairer game than were expected it wa sone of, if nou the best footbll grIme overplayed on the home ground. The play of the homesters was splendid. The Towyn -,n stepped on the scene of action about h;>lf-r»r,s' two and hvked as if they had fully made up ti., ir 01 ,j, tcl: true fie Dovey company a trouncing. Th«:r hop s, if such they were, were rudely shattered. The home department" of the leather kicking b' i .tel? fodowed their stout oppo- nents to the ft. i- "7) blue, and not looking over choerfui nor over eonfioent as to tlte issne of 8truggll'- Tvh- Cnlv, the hone secretary, of thv.1 London au I P; .much'. Bank, took the reigns of government arid in strict obedience to his commands the warriors faced each other. The home front string were soon dangerous, several runs on hie right wing being very difficult to stop. Bob Hum- phreys, the home centre-forward, was playing a beautiful game, feeding his wings and striding along for the opponents' goal. Billy Vaughan, on tIO outside left, was much too tricky and speedy for his more bulky opponents, and he beat them time after time. The lowyn men were hemmed in from the first; try as they would they could not break through the sturdy half-back division of the homesters. Once or twice only did they come into the home preserves. But the danger wag not for long, the home outside right, Johnny Edwards (who was carefully aNd most unselfishly fed by his wing partner, Hughes), being very dangerous on several occasions, narrowly missing the posts. Dick Humphreys at half was playing a superb game, and it was as much due to him as anybody that the front rank had snell splendid openings. A beauty came in about fifteen minutes from the start, Bob Humphreys putting on the finishing touch. From the re-start, dbrner followed corner, and Towvn were quite unable to cope with the agile movements of their opponents. Vaughan again took one of the corners, placed it magnificently, Hughes, the inside right, heading it through. Towyn started to piav a bit rough, and some "cheiee ex pre • v;ons" 01 speech were indulged in now i hen, r.dpb were promptly suppressed by the refere*. The iaterrai came as a great relief to both idd«s. Soon after the second half started Billy Vaughan, who had been playing a magnificent game, had a nasty kick from one of the TOW-B backs. A halt was made, Dr A 0 Davies, who, fortunately, was on the field, eame 10 the rescue, and it was seen that. the poor little chap had a nasty cut on his leg, and was bleeding freely. The doctor bandaged it up, and the 1 wounded man" was carried off the field bv the local ambulance corps. I do not think any blame is to be attached to the Towyn back, v he. greatly regretted the accident. The game re-sra rrod with the homesters playing ten men. Towyn made a strong sweep, and a flying shot from the Towyn left was deftly and ner.tly stopped by Morgan. Then the home quintet scampered to the other end arid Humphreys, Edwards, and Tommy Williams, who-was playing on the left single-handed, missed nice opportunities of scoring. Theil. the Towyn men woke up and notched a goal from a scrimmage. An opening came for the homesters on the right- Humphreys passed to Johnny Edwards, he took deliberate aim from an ob'iqne angle and the ball scudded into the net, grazing the inside of the inner post. It was a tnanificient shot, and fully deserved the great outburst of cheering tha followed. The game ended in favour of Machyn- lleth by three goals to one. WALES V. SCOTLAND. The match was played at Aberdeen, on Saturdav, R Jones kicked off for NVil-e, passing out to the wing. Itobortson returned to the centre, and the Scotch forwards quickly had the ball over tho Welsh lines. Play centred in the first few minutes in and around the visitor's territory, and after four minutes M'Coll, who was prominent in most of the attacks, transferred with great accuracy to Bell, who beat Griffiths with an almost unsareahle shot. From the start Wales kept the Scotch defence busy, Jones working hard for a score. One splendid attempt went just over the not. Though playing hard and determinedly, there was a lack of method about the efforts of the Welsh front five, and this, combined with inefficient support from the half backs rendered most of the dashes futile. On tho other hand, the Scotsmen played in masterly style. il'Coll, Hamil- ton, and Wilson, giving a delightful exhibition. It was mainly due to this trio that the third goal was notched by the last named player. Morris and Harris on the defence performed well against the smart attack of the Scotties. Hamilton,(Range-, s) was was instrnmenta' in the scoring of Scotland's;fouith point. Just upon half-time, from one of Wales's rare breaks away, Parry caught the Scotch custod- ian napping aDd scored with a deceptive shot the first goal for hia side. On crossing over Scotland led by fonr goals to one. In tho second half the home side took matters more loisurely. A welcome change in the Welsh play made itself apparent after the opening ten minutes, the Scotch defence being brought out to the fuil. Parry was the first, to test Dickie, but Lhe home custodian cleared well. Some mulled passing by the Scotch halves let Butler and Parry thro ugh the home lines. The shot from the' lpttez- was smartley fisted out by Dickie, but he had to admit himself beaten by a second from Butler. Parry, Jones, and Batler wete a! ways aggressive, and some difficulty was now experienoed by the opposition in staving determined attacks. At length the seige v.-as rtused, and Bell at the Welsh goal missed a good chance. Hamilton, when nearir.g goal, passed to Smith on the left,. The latter through tho defence and finished with a spleudid goal, the fifth and last of the game. Wales being beaten by five goals to two.

THE SOUTH WALES ASSOCIATION CUP. ABERYSTWYTH v. KNIGHTON. These teams met at Builth Wells on Saturday in the semi-fiua! mutch for the Association Cup of Sou'.h Wales. Snow had been falling throughout the dry, and the aspect was anything bnt cheery when the mer. lined up on the field. The referee was Mr Pryce, Builth, and the following players represented Aberyst-vytW Goal, Roose; backs, G Evans and Joe! Rowlands; half-backs, W Jones, J Dalies and D M Evans; forwards, Sparrow, Hughes, J H Edwards, Barson, and James. The left wing of Aberystwyth opened in fine style and pressed the Knighton backs into their own goal. Follow- ing up this advantage all the Aberystwyth forwards huog on the heels of the Knighton defonce, and within the first fifteen minutes scored two goal. James and Edwards putting the ball through. Knighton fought hard to get equal and plagued tee Town backs to a g-eat- extent. Roose was however in rare form and kept his goal safe from all danger, and its fr ju„ rank the forwards played for all they were worth. The game at half-time stood ,co:ici balf pjiy Aberystwyth 2, Knighton 0. In the eF, was however more even, and a certain amount or levity which had entered into the defeuoe by the Aberystwyth backs was not calculated to make things smoother for them. Knighton managed to score, tnongh there were grave doubts as to whether the player was not off-side when he scored. However this achievement lent courage to the Radnorshire men who piled on the pressure until it seemed as if the game were sure to finish at a draw or possibly a win for Knighton. The Aber. ystwyth men worked like Trojans, the Captain (J H Edwards) deserving a special word of praise for his splendid and untiring exertions for his side. Barflon and Jameii proved a very happy couple, and were repeatedly prominent witla their pawing. The half-backs were in fine trim and tacklcd well. The game finished in faromr of Aberystwyth by 2 goals to 1.

This latter affects irciiiactly the demand for strong grades of crossbreds and English wools, which might be said to have been showing some degree of weakness.

[ THE CHARITIES OF MONTGOMERY- SHIRE. INQUIRY AT WELSHPOOL. Mr T March ant Williams acting on behalf of the Charity Commissions on Thursday morning at the Town Hall, Welshpool resumed his inquiries imo the charities of Montgomeryshire. Those present inclnded the Mayor, (Mr David Jones), the Town Clerk, (Mr E Jones), the Yicar, (Rev D Griinaidi Davis), Col. Twyford, Capt Westby, Messrs E L R Jones, W Forrester Addie, C Shaker, T Simpson Jones, J P Jones, and F Roper. At the outset Mr Williams stated that the object of those inquiries was, amongst other things, to remove any abuses which might characterise the to■ ministration of those charities, and aLo to see that none were lost. Ha pointed out that the trustees had not been very regular in sending stat,ementa of accounts to the Commissioners but he was giad to observe that the Yicar of Welshpool had regularly sent such accounts during the last three or four years. He did no:, a; taoh much blame to the trustees for the omission, but now that be had mentioned it he hoped the accounts would bo regularly submitted in future. It was impossible for them in London to know whether the charities were properly administered unless they regularly received the accouuts. Hence it was that charities had been lost and could not be recovered. THE FRFE LIBRARY. The deedsof tne Free- Liorary and the conveyatice of the site were put io by tite town clerk. Sums of £ 200 had been given by the PowyMan.d Club and of £ 100, by will, by the fate Dr Barrett, The £20,) was still ia existence and the interest used for the benefit of the library. Another £ 100 was left by the lat,3 Mr Jones, Gun grog, to be employed, entirely its the trustees might think fit. Mr M Williams: I wont to know exactly how the trustees did think fit. Mr I & Jones said part had gone ilL pay ment for a heating apparatus and he agreed to supply tho Commissioner with full particulars. THE INTERMEDIATE SCSuOL. Mr Addie represented the managers of the1 Inter- mediate School. The inquiry was very formal, the Commissioner stating that he was anxious to see the school as it was said to be a good one. The documents were handed in by Mr E L R Jones. THIB BURG ESSES' LAND. The Commissioner then took the older charities in the order of the report of 1837, which, he said would be printed along with his, so that there would be a complete record of the charities for the last hundred years. The first charity mentioned was the Burgesses' Land, the object of ivi2icil was to provide a fund for tha bni'ding, repairing, enlarging and beautifying the public edifices belonging to the Corporation. The rerunoie'ei- of the rents arising from the land was to be for the benefit of the dis- tressed and poor of the borough. The property was now vested in the Corporation, but Lhey "were simply trustees, and he was snre the Charity Com- missioners would insist iu future that the accounts of the charity should be kept separate from tne general accouuts of the Corporation. He should t'niak from what he had teen that there could not be much profit. He mentioned that the Town Oletiv who had already ■ ,ivon him great assistance, 1 which had greatly facilitated his inqniri' had fur- nished him with a complete list of hinds, and he took that opportunity of publicly ac^owlcdgittg hip, great kindness. The land consMe.i of over 66 acres, and the annual rental was £ 146 7s 6d. 1 he j own Clerk explained that the money was paid 1,0 the ooroce'h luno tiud the amount had Ceen spent over and over ag-tin, on the bunding, i'tio last time when there w :s any surplus for distribu- tion amongst the poor was in 1324 wheu x20 wes disbursed for the poor. The Commissioner remarked that the rents in ¡ 1881 amounted to £ 243 but it was explained that rents, since then, had fallen considerably. In answer to Mr J P Jones, the Coihmigsioaer said that if the Corporation borrowed moaev for the public buildings they could repay with the monpv from this charity, using it as far as.it would go. RICHARD TUDOR 0RARITY, This amounts altogether to £:7() and cnr.evsts of £ 140, the interest of which was to go to the school- master for teaching Latin in a Church School, and which was now used for the benefit of the National I Schools in accordance with the resolution of the ) Commissioners in 1837 or 1838: £ 80, the interest of which is to be used io appror.fJoint? beys, and £ o0 to be devoted to the poor. The Yicar selects the boys for apprenticeship, but has difficulty in finding suitable boys. The -614.0 and the £ 50 I form part of a mortgage of £900; but the Commis- sioners would probably suggest that it should h- invested in consols. Mr WiUiurca hoped they would I see that the mortgage provided an adequate margin. He also suggested that they might allow the ap- prenticing money to accumulate for two or three j years so as to enable them to fipprentice ato a superior calling. EDWARD PARRY'S CHARITY. t About 1870 Edward Parry bequeathed to the vicar an] churchwarde?is £ 170 to be laid ont in good security or vested in lands and the interest paid in support of the chief master of the National Schools. He also left about £ 70 to provide garments for six persons annually. The recipients are selected by the lady visitors without distinc- tion as to sect,. year they gave to all who applied. Mr J P Jones The tady visitors are church people. The Commissioner: Yes, but they don't select all church people. The money was bequeathed to the vicar and wardens. You have not changed them evidently yon are Mr J P Jones: We didn'), know we hsd the power. Ice Commissioner Ii you had the?>ower, weuid. you change them ? Have you any fault to find with the distribution ? There was no reply to the question. PGRSEGr}s CHARITY. i>os Pursell bequeathed £ c0 to the vicar and wardens, the interest to be paid to suitable persons in the Middle Division. It is distributed each New Year's Day without regard to sect.—The assured the Commissioner that they received verv good value for the muney from the tradesmen Y/itlt whom the money WBS spent. Mr J P Jones said he knew of one old lady, about 80 years of age, a.nd he remembered a. few years ago asking if she was to have something- from the charity, and the gentleman replied, "0, she goes to chapel." There being a general call for the name of the old penwn, Mr Jones replied that ho referred, to Mrs Rowlands, of Clifton street. The Vicar pointed out. that she waa oce of the persons who get gowns this year, and Mr Shukor added that they could not give the clothing to tbo same persons year after year. A reference to the book showed that the woman had benefited from the charity in 1896 and again at the commence- Ulent of the present year. Mr Jones said lie had felt very sorry for tho old lady. Be thought it hard tiittt she" should lose because of being a Dissenter. He had notbiug against tho Vicar. # The Vicar said they made no sectarian distinc- tion as to who should supply the ge>ods, in fact, he believed that this year the tradesmen wei-e all. Nonconformtms. The Commissioner said he was glad Mr Jones bail mentioned the matter, an he liked to lay the oust wherever he wont. ELIJAH PHILLIPS' CHARITY. Elijah Phillips left £ 1000 to be laid out and the interest distributed on January l«f. A small farm of 36 acres was purchased with the monov and was let for £ 12 a year, but the tenant, deducted h. for a dinner. Mr Williams thought it the duty of the trustees to visit the farm, and, if to take a conveyance, the cost of which they could deduct from the rent, examine the farm and see that the buildings, fences, and so on are as they ought to be. He had not the least doubt that the rent was not adequate. The rent had been paid every year with- out any kind of grumbling by the farmer, and they cotild depend or. it that it was because he had a very good bargain. It was the duty of the trustees to see the state of the- farm. He suggested tha.tt.hev might have the farm re-valued, and the trustees re- plied that they would instruct a competent vaiuor to go over it. ELIZABET.TF LLOYD'S CHARITY. Elizabeth Lloyd, spinster, left £ 90 to be dis- tributed amongst such of the poor as should be most religion's and should most frequently attend divine service. It realises £ 2 14s per year, and the Yicar gave 58 each to eleven people. In answer to the Commissioner, the "Vi- ar said he could generally say who were the best aitendera at Church, but he could not say who wore the most religious (laughter). LANG FORD CHARITY. This consists of L7 143 8d and is paid by tha Rev G B Pughe, of Mellor, Blackburn. It arises out of a farm, and £ 1 18s 4d of is sent to the Rector of Castle Caereinion for distribution amongst, the poor there. A gown, a pair of shoes, ami a pair of stockings were given'annually to eight poor persons, and the average age of these, last year, was 76. Mr J P Jones believed that these old people for- merly met at the Bnek Inn, aud walked in pro- cession in their new clothes to the Church. The initials T.L." were marked on the backs of the coats. The present Vicar had done away with this. The people also nsëd to have a pint of beer before starting. The Town Clerk: Perhaps it was the pint of beer that swallowed up tho income tax. The Vicar: Or the shyness ? THE ALMS HOUSES. The Vicar asked to whom the alms houses belonged. Who was responsible to the r;-)tet,).iyers ? The building consisted of eight rooms, two of which had been condemned by the medical officer as unfit for habitation. Up to the time of the Commissioners report In 1838 the repairs had been paid for out of the poor rate. The V"Gt ry in 1843, however, decided that in future, before any repairs were done, a meetinlYof the inhabitants should be called who should also decide as to how the cost should be met. There were now six or seven tenants. The Commissioner said he could not state who were really responsible. Would it not be better to Bell the houses ? The Vienr: Could we do that ? The Commissioner I should say po with the authority of the Charity Commissioners. The Vicar further stated that it would £3CJ to repair it. They had no endowment and in pre- vious years they had tinkered with the premises and had drawn upon the Church alms ItwasT.r.f in his opinion, kindness to allow people to live in the rooms. It was very dangerous. He was keev- ing the rooms empty as they became vacant. Mr llnper mentioned that a lady by mear.s of an concert raised funds for providing the old people with coals. The Commissioner promised to ascertain what could be done. LATER CHARITIES. T L Dickin iu 1852 left £ 150 and Sarah Dick in a like sum. Tee former stipulated that the mctfj should g° to the relief of the pool and the latter that it should go to apprenticing boys in cer aiu tr ades, or, in the case of females to learn useful and not ornamental occupations. The scheme of i--n had been altered so th^t both now came under one bead. This money was part of the Y,900 mortgage and browght in £ 8 2s a year. The poor were supplied with blanket?, sheets,* &c, on New Year's Dav. Lady Harriet. Herbert bequeathed £ 312 10s (in- crease-! to £ 320) to bo disposed of in clothing or such other manner as might be thought best for the benefit of the poor of Welshpool. The Eilr] of Pow ts, the Vicar, and the Mayor of Welshpool were the tvustees. This money, and a sum left bv Miss Clive, formed, a mortgage (.)f C500. and the pro- ceeds were used for the benefit of the sick, for sending them to convalescent, homes or ma in tabl- ing them there.—The Mayor said it was the first he had hcei'd of his trusteeship, and the Vicar replied that he had simply acted as he had beet given t.) understand he ousrht. The Dispensary and Cottage Hospital, and the propeity of St Winifred's Chhrch were mentioned, as also was the house of one of the Nonconformist chapels, but no first hand information was given. The Vicar proposed, and the Mayor seconded, a vote cf thanks to Mr Williams for his conduct c' the inquiry, and the Commissioner suitably replied.

There were also present the Revs J S Lewis, R Evan Jones, I) B Efu'iunds, 'i i'j Wibbirrs, and F Davies, Dr Palmer, Messrs A Ford, R Bennett, M E Park. K LiovO. w F; tricis, E Elwell, W Scott Owen, W p Puiiiip*, E Thomas, J Danily, H J Vigors, D Bnn- foro, A j Grant, and T Foster, with t!,s Secretary (Mr E C Morgan). THE REPORT. The 32nd annual report of the Board of Manage- ment was presented to the effect that during the year 59 patients were under treatment in the insti- tution, of which 12 were cases of accidents. The total expenditure ( £ 438 18s 8d), less cost of medicine for out-patients, being divided by the number of in-patients, gave the average cost of each iupatient as £ 7 Os 4d, against zp,7 9 Id, the average of the previous three years. The number of out-patients for the year was 357 and they made 1,682 attendances.- The cost of medicines per head was Is 4j,d as compared with 3s lid the average of the previous three years. Receipts from the n'eual sources, including donations from Sir James and Lady Joicey, were £ u80 8s lid, against £ 533 8s od in 1898 and the expenditure was £ 433 18s 8d. od in 1898 and the expenditure was £ 433 18s 8d. its compared with £ 6r5 Is lid the average of the l Pi'eviouj three years. At tho end of the year the Board were agreeably surprised to bud to their credit a balance of £ 4 18s Id, as against a debit balance cfE214 9s 3d at the close of 1898. This state of things had been brousjnt auonh by the ficts that the receipts had rather- more than fulfilled the hopes and expectations of the Board of Management, and that the expendi- ture had been considerably less than was antici- pated by them. The more satisfactory financial condition of the Institution was, to a, very con- siderable extent, the result of an entire change in the management suggested by the matron soon after she came, ar.d which wa.s adopted by the Board, only after grave consideration and some doubt. The results, however, had fuiiy justified tne change, and the Board took this opportunity of expressing their entire satisfaction with the matron and staff in the discharge of their duties. Their best thanks were also due to those friends who, during the year, had sent various presents for the use of the in-patients.—Dr Palmer said he would ttke to make a few remarks on the report which they had just iieard read-a report which was exceedingly gratifying and an improvement upon that of any previous year. He wished to call the public's attention to the fact that at the end of last year the Board were utiaole to receive one patient owing to a lack or room. The difficulty oi insufficient- aooomraodation could be easily over- come if they only had a large amount ot' money in hand for building purposes. There was a ruie—he did not know whether it was carefully carried out —wtiica provided that when a patient had beeu in tne 1 udrmary beyond a certain period the Medical Old cur or Matron should furnish the Council with a special report as to why that patient's stay had been prolonged. He hoped that the difficulty experienced by some of zlljmlttaric-3 to the Infirmary would bring permanently before the committee the advisability of adhering strictly w this rule. With regard to the lower cost of medicines he agreed with the report that it was to some extent accounted for by the fact that in 1898 i.ne Matron (who is dispenser also) had replenished the stock, consequently only what was used re- quired replacing. He would like to amolifv the last paragraph in the report with reference to the appointment of a committee by t.he Board with the object of increasing the subscription list by the addition of names in town and country of those who would be glad to help if the c! aims of thelnsti- tution were brought prominentlv before them. He was a member of that committee and would like to say that their operations had been arrested by the intervening of objects of a more exciting and dtimu- lating character, which required money. However, the amount they bad obtained in increased sub- scriptions was £ 32 which meant somethiag like 25 new subscribers (hear, hear). The cornmittea intended at an early period resuming their labours iu this direction, feeling confident that there were many people from wiiom the Infirmary might fairlv ,aini P I ciaitn a measure of support. In their work the committee had been greatly assisted by the Secre- tary and he thought it was only fair to Mr Morgan that this fact should be mentioned (applause). He wished to express his own personal tense of gnHi. f fication at the improvement in the affairs of the Montgomery shire Infirmary (hear, hear).—M.r Rd Bennett commented upon the dimii-n.ahm in tho use of spirits for medical purposes.' in 3396 tho bill for spirits was g14 in 1897, £ 21; in 1898 £ 17 6s; and for 1899—he was haptw ro say only £ 4 3s.—Tha Chairman said it became his duty to move that the report be adopted, printed and circulated. He had been present at nearlv all the meetings since the Infirmary was opened,"and he had no hesitation in saying that the report'for 1899 was the most satisfactory that had ever been pre- sentEd. There had been an increase in the receipts and a great ueerease in the expenditure, a decrease which had been brought about by careful attention and not by undue economy (hear, hear). He was sure they al1 owed a debt of gratitude/to the com- mittee, to the matron and to all those who had co- operated in bringing about this most satisfactory state of affairs.—The Rev Evan Jones seconded, and tne report was unanimously adopted. A MUNIFICENT GIFT. The Chairman A letter has just been placed in my hands, and I have great pleasure in reading it to you. I am sure that when you hear its contents yon will share in my gratification. The comuiuui- cation ran as Dear Sir,I have pleasure iu informing yen that my Rister and I wili be glad to subscribe the sum oi £ 300 to the Montgomery- shire Infirmary in memory of our late father and mother, and for the purpose of adding a wing to contain an accidental ward or a children's ward, whichever the Governors decide is most needed. I should be pleased to forward a cheque for this amount as soon as the building is decided upon and the plaus prepared submitted for our approval.— Yours faithfully, HUGH LEWIS, Glanyrafon. Tbe reading of the letter was received with loud ap- plause, on the subsidence of which the Chairman moved that a letter be addressed to Mr Lewis and his sister stating how grateful the Governors were to them for their most generous offer (hear, hear). —Mr Richard Lloyd seconded, and it was unani- mously agreed to.—The Chairman then said it would be desirable for them to pass a further reso- lution, viz.: That this letter be referred to the Board of Management to prepare a report as to whether an accidental or children's ward is most needed, and that a special meeting of the Gover- nors be convened to consider that report, when presented."—This was seconded and carried. THE MEDICAL OFFICERS. Mr W P Phillips, in proposing a vote of thanks to the medical staff for their services during the past year and also that they be re-elected, said, as a member of the Board of Management, he could to some extent testify to the care and attention be- stowed by their doctors upon every case that was admitted into the Infirmary whether as iti-pnti.-nt or out-patient. Their Institution and the dbn ict is served was under a very deep debt of gra;itnde to their medical officers, far more than he could express (hear, hear).—Mr J Danily seconded, and it was carried nem. con.-P,- Palmer said it fell to his lot to acknowledge the vote of thanks which had been accorded to himself and his brother medicos. He could assure them that no pe-t, of their public work gave them greater than the work they did in connection with the Infirmary. Through tho philanthrophy of sub- scribers they had been able to employ, for the benefit of sick and the district, the most ski!ul means of combating disease known to modern science. Although they had effected a saving Cía the years work, there had been no diminution in ttie efficiency and thoroughness of the Institution. RE-ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Mr R Bennett proposed and the Rev J S L;is seconded the re-election of Lord Sudeley, as Pre- sident, and that he be thanked for his past services. —Agreed to.—The Rev T E Williams moved, and it was carried, that Mr William Cooke bo re- appointed auditor. The accounts which had been presented to them that afternoon were model accounts in which every item was placed when it could easily be LJund, -On the motion of Mr Foster, seconded by Dr Palmer, the Chairman was for his services as treasurer, and was requested to continue in office. THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT. The whole of the members on the above ib>;„rd were re-elected with the exception of Mr G H Ellison, in whose place the Rev J S Lewis was fub- t; st.itated.—The Board were, on the motion of the Chairman, heartily thanked for the good work they |§ had d one in 1899.—Mr Ford having replied to this <1 compliment, Mr Danily moved a similar expres- jt sion of approval to Messrs W Scott-Owen ff and C W Norton for carrying out so admir- ably the arrangements of the Infirmary Bail, which realised the record sum of £ 71 Is; also r to the Wednesbury Charity Football Association « fur their £ 5 5s; to the Newtown Ha rmotiic Soci -ty for C2 2s 2d; and to the Bettws and Trcgrrou Dancing Class for 16s 8d.— Mr Scott Owen, in replying for himself and Mr Norton, said he could J hardly tell them bow well his terrible begging S letters on behalf of the ball had been received. lid J| wished to thank Lady Pryce- Jones aud Mrs Palmer J lor the energy they had displayed in working for the success of the ball. His only regret was that If t!;e present sorrow in the land prevented them jf from hokliug the ball this year. Owing tc the generosity of the inhabitants of the couotr i hey were enabled to hand over to the institution a larger sum than hitherto (applause).—A vote of ''M thanks to Mr Jones ior presiding brought the meet- .« ing to an end.

Mr J B Roberts and Colonel Mil ward put i tions on the same subject. J Mr Chamberlain, who answered the question, e, said I have made inquiry by telegram and I have t received a telegram from the Governor of Natal dated yesterday to the followiug effect:—Eowrt appeared in the Press here some time ago, and was subsequently contradicted. I know of no founda- tion for the report, but I am trying to obtain tufor- mation from Harrismitb refugees in Natal, if arty f can be found. I am trying to ascertain on what authority contradiction was based." The answer to the third part of the question is that Her t Majesty's Ambassador at Washington has bee a structed by telegraph to ask the Uuited States Government to make inquiries into the matter through their Consul at Pretoria. Mr T M liealy asked the right hon gentleman wnether, as he telegraphed to the Governor of Natal with regard to the death of Englishmen, he would see any objection to a similar inquiry with wgprd to the death of Irishmen respecting which hon members from Ireland were unable to get any information from the War Office. Mr Chamberlain That concerns the War Office, and not the Colonial Office. 4 WHAT THE "LAW TIMES" TIIINK8. The Laiv Times discussing the reported murder f says If the facts are as here stated, the incident I will require strong, and in the case of hostilities against civilised belligerents, unprecedented action f on the part of the authorities at the close of the present war. It may be admitted for the of argument, that in the constitution of the ( s Free State a power to commandeer aliens ier the I defence of the country is claimed. The I tion of the South African Republic undoubtedly contains an express provision to that effect, and '{ there are articles in that of the Free State which might be held to assert a similar right by itu- plication. But no municipal law could entith- a belligerent in the eye of the nations to seek to coerce an alien into bearing arms against his own country and the punishment of a refusal to suttrsifc to such a monstrous demaud by death is an act not of war, but of murder. | If the melancholy announcement above referred I to, however, is accurate.

It; will be the duty of the High Commission- 4 er, when the war is, as we hope it will be, success.
