Y Blaid Ryddfrydig. Mae cryn gyffro wedi bod yn y Blaid Ryddfrydig yn ystod y dyddiau diweddaf hyn partbed y flaen- oriaeth, ac ofnid y byddai rwygiadau pellach gymeryd lie. Mae yn amlwg fod y Toriaid yn cymeryd dyddordeb anarferol yn yr belynt hwn, a mawr hydercnt weled Asquith, Campbell-Banner- man a Rosebery yn croesdynu nes yr elai y blaid yn ganddryll. Ddydd Mawrth, cyhoeddwyd Ilytlivr a ysgrifer- odd Mr Asquith at Mr M'Kenna, A.S., a Mr C. E. H fiobhouse, A.S., ar bwnc y einio y bwriedir ei roi er anrhydedd iddo ar y 19eg o'r mis yma. Dywed fod amryw bethau yn peri iddo feddwl fod camsyniad ar led parth ei amcan ef yn derbyn y gwahoddiad. Yn ddiweddar, teimlodd ef fod yn ddvled arno egluro ei olygiadau ei hun a llawer 0 Ryddfrydwyr ereill yn ngbylch y rhyfel. Mae efe'n barod i'w hegluro eto ac i weithredu yn unol a hwy, eb efe, os bydd caches, ond cred mai efe, ond odid, yw'r olaf o bawb yn y Senedd a fuasai o ddybirdra ac beb ddigonol achos yn rboi pwys ar y gwahaniaetbau sydd, fel y tmae gwaetha'r modd, yn ffynu yn y blaid. Ei obaith yn hytrach, medd efe, yw man- teisio ar y cinio at bwrpas arall. Nis gellir, meddai. yn rhy fuan chwalu'r camgymeriad o dybio y ceir ef a'r rhai sy 'run feddwl ag ef cyn bo hir yn cytuno yn mhob peth a'u gwrthwynebwyr, Am byny y mae efe'n bwrw y geill fanteisio ar y cinio i symud y cyfeiliornad hwnw, a gosod allan mewn yspryd eang beth yw dyledswydd y blaid ar hyn o bryd- Ei benaf amcan yw ceisio argyhoeddi'r bobl fod peth rhagorach a mwy ymarferol y gellir ei ddewis yn lle'r 3ayn a wneir gan y Llywodraeth hon ag y mae mwy bob dydd yn blino ac yn anfoddloni arni Mae Roseberry wedi dychwelyd i Lundain, ond dywed efe nad yw yet bwriadu ar hyn o bryd ym- yryd a pbynciau politicaidd, yn ol y penderfyniad a wnaeth er's tro yn ol. Y mae, fodd bynag, yn dra eglur fod rhai yn awyddus am i Asquith ym- gymeryd a'r awenau, ond ofnant gymeryd unrhyw gam pendant rhag cael siom. Yn yr argyfwng hwn dylesid cofio fod Campbell Bannerman wedi glynu yn wrol wrth y BIaid a hyny o dan amgylchiadau eithr.iac101 o galed. Y modd i roddi gwell cefn iddo yn y Ty ydyw hoi gwell cefnogaeth iddo yn y wlad. Gan gofio fod cymaint o'r aelodau Rbydd- frydig wedi myned ar ddisperod, y mae yn syndod ei fodyn arwain y fath wehielith cystal. Yn ddi- ddadl y mae beirniadaeth lem yr wrthblaid wedi dwyn fErwyth lawer yn ystod y Weinyddiaeth bresenol. Ofer i ni fel Rhyddfrydwyr ymgecru parthed i hwn ar llall i fod yn arweinydd ac yn ben arnom tra y caniatawn i'n haelodau gwamal i wncud bron fel y mynont. Dyger cyfangorff y Blaid i'w hiawn bwyll, ac ni fydd angen ond am wr tra chymhedrol ei ddoniau er ei barwain i fuddug- oliacthi

Y Senedd. CYMRY PATAGONIA. Dydd Lltiii, ln'IN'hy'r Cyffredin, gofvnodd Mr D. A Thomas i'r Ysgrifenydd Tramor a allai efe ddvweyd beth oedd rhediad adroddiad caplan llong ei Fawrhydi y Flora" ar gyliwr y Cymry yn Mhatagonia, ac y gosodid ef gerbron y Senedd. Arglwydd Cranborne: Y mae hysbysrwydd c wedi cyrhaedd y Swyddfa Dramor o fwy nag un ffynonell o berthynas i amgylchiadau v Cymry yn Patagonia, ac y mae y Swyddfa Dranior mewn trafrtdaeth a'r Swyddfa Drefedigaethol gvda'r amcan o wella eu cyflwr. Nid wvf yn meddwl y byddai yn ddoeth gosod yr aflroddiad y crybwyll- wyd am dano ar y bwrdd. TROI ATIIRAWON YMAITH. Dydd Mawrth, yn Nhy'r Cyffredin, dywedodd Mr Batfour, mewn ateb i Mr J. Herbert Roberts, y cawsai y mesur er rhoddi sicrwydd i athrawon mewn ysgolion elfenol cyiioeddus na chawsent en troi o'u swyddi. os.byddai'n fesur na byddai dadl a gwrthddadl arno, ei basio yn gyfraith y tymhor yma. TRAUL Y RHYFEL. Dydd Gwener, yn Nhy'r Cyffredin, ar y eynygiarl i ail ddarllen y Mesur Benthyca Arian, dywedodd Mr Lough fod yn ddrwg ganddo fod y Llywodraeth yn bwriadu talu cymaint o gostau'r rhyfel trwy fenthvea yn lie ychwanegu at y trethi. Yn ei araeth gyntaf daliai Mr C. Lowther y dylid defnyddio gweddill y cyllid, ar ol rhoddi gweinyddiaeth gyflawn a rhyddfrydol i'r Trans- vaal a Oning-l, i dalu oostau'r rhyfel. Daliai hefyd fod y trethi ar berchenogion y mwngloddiau yn rhy ysgafn. Cytunai Syr W. Harcourt a'r siaradwr blaenorol gyda golwg ar drcthu perchenogion y cloddfeydd, ac os byth y byddai ganddynt elw credai y dylid galw arnynt gyfrallu eu rhan. Cahryd areitnian hefyd gan y Mri Channing Butcher, a Scott, a chynghorai'r olaf hwy i droi eu meddyliau at y cwestiwn o gytundeb yn y Trans- vaal gan gymeryd cynygiad Arglwydd Kitchener fel sail. Yn ei atebiad dywedodd Syr M. Hicks-Beach fod y Llywodraeth wedi dcrbyn telegram oddiwrth Arglwydd Kitchener yn yr hwn y dyvvedai fod ar- weinyddion y Boeriaid wedi evhoeddi yn y Trans- vaal 11a fyddent yn foddlon ar ddim ond eu lianni- byniaeth. Cyrhaeddodd y telcg-ram ddiwrnod neu ddan yn flaenorol, a chredai y siaradwr nad oedd wythnos er pan y cyhoeddwyd y penderfyniad yma gan arweinvddion v Boeriaid. Ni allai'r wlad bon dderbyn y fath clelerau. Gyda golwg ar gost y rhyfel dywedodd y byddai'n ffolineb ynddo ef geisio dyweyd faint fyddai y Transvaal yn debyg o (lalti yn y dyfodol. Dibynai hyny ar gynydd beddycl101 masnach, ac ar amgylchiadau y nas gellid yn awr eu rhagweled. Ond yr oedd y Llywodraeth yn ymwybodol o gyfoeth y Transvaal, ac o'r posiblrwydd o gyfraniadau oddiyno i (lalu am y rhyfel. Wrth derfynu dywedodd ei fod vn credu fod Syr David Barbour wedi bod braidd yn dirion wrth berchenogion y mwngloddian, ac" y byddai i'r Llywodraeth gymeryd i ystyriaeth vr elw fyddai yn debyg 0 ganlyn diddymiad y dynamite monopoly." Dymunai Mr Lloyd-George, cyn ystyried ochr arianol y cwestiwn, dystio yn erbyn y cyhnddiad wnaeth Mr Llewelyn nad oedd efeyn gwabaniaethu rhwng y gwersylloedd yn Neheudir Affrioa. I'r gwrthwyneb, yr oedd efe (Mr Lloj'd-George) wedi eithrio y gwersylloedd yn Nhrefedigaeth y Penrhyn, ac wedi dweyd y dylid ceisio dilyn trefniariau ,n ardderchog y gwersylloedd hyn yn Nhalaeth Afon Orange ac yn y Transvaal. Ni ddylai yr aelodau anihvdeddus ar yr ochr gvfeibyniol, tra yn ei gyhuddo ef a'i gyfeillion o gamlivvio ffeithiau, ar yr un pryd fod yn euog o'r un trosedd, fel yr oeddvnt pan ddywedasant ei fod ef ac ereill wedi dwyn cyliuddiadau o greulondeh yn erbyn swyddogion l'rydeinig. Ysgrifenydd y Trefedigaetbau oedd y prif droseddwr yn byn o beth. Nid oedd y gwr anrhydeddus hwnw yn blino ar hysbysu pobl fod rhai aelodau yn y Ty yn hawlio y <lylic! rhorlrli fewn yn holloil i'r Boeriaid. Ond a allai unrhyw aelod ar ochr y Llywodraeth roddi un engraipht iddo ef yn mha un yr oedd aelod Rhyddfrydig wedi dadleu dros adfer eu hannibvniaeth yn gyfangwbl i'r Iloerikii,l ? z, Mr Brodrick a dynoclc1 ei sylw at araeth yr aelod dros Clare (Mr W. Redmond.) Dywedodd Mr Lloyd-George mewn atebiad nad oedd yr aelod anrhydeddus wedi deall ei ofvniad. Yr hyn geisiodd efe oedd cyfeiriad at unrhyw araeth gan aelod Rhyddfrydol dros ryw sedd yn Mhrydain a gynwysai gais am adferiad annibyniaeth. Ei farn ef (Mr Lloyd-George) am y modd y dylid- tawelu De Affrica oedd dilyn y llinellau gymerwyd yn Canada ac Awstralia. Dyna oedd ei olygiadau ef drwy yr holl amser. Drwy gamliwio y golygiadau byn yr oedd Mr Chamberlain yn gwneyd llawer mwy o ddrwg nag a wnaeth unrhyw areithiau o'i eiddo ef neu ei ,t'11': I"l* -.1- _1 gy minion. it; ocnr arisinoi y mesnr, tra yr oedd y wlad hon yn gyfoetbocach nag y bn erioed o'r blaen. tra yr oedd derbvniadau arianol y boblogaeth ar gynydd, eto yr oedd ab- erthiadau personol yn iigwyneb y rhyfel yma yn llawer Ilai nag oeddynt yii hanes "nrtiyw ryfel arall ag y gwyddai am dano. Dywedid fod y rhyfel we li profl nad oedd gwroldeb y wlad wedi myned yn waetli. Os felly, pa angen oedd am fesur i fen- thvea arian ? Yn ystod y rhyfeloedd yn erbvn Napoleon, pan oedd cyfoeth y bobl dair gwaith yn llai nag ydoedd yn awr, gwnaed tri chymaint o aberth, ac yn rhyfel y Crimea, pan nad oedd cy- foetb y wlad yn haner yr hyn yelyw erbyn hyn, tal- odd y bobl gymaint arall am y rhyfel ag a dalent heddyw. Naill ai yr oedd y bobl yn awr yn llai dewr, lICU cynrychiolid Invv gan y weinyddiaeth fwyaf llwfr a fu erioed. Credai y Llywodraeth fod y rhyfel yn angenrheidiol i'r Ymherodraeth, yr oeddynt yn uchel eu cloch yn nghylch wIadgar- web, a dywedent e!i bod yn benderfynol o aberthu pob dafn o waed—gwaed rhy wrai ereill (ohwerthin). Ond nid oeddynt yn Jdigon dewr i lynu wrth eu hargyhoeddiadau. Yr oedd y Mesur Benthyca hwn yn dyweyd yn eglnr pa fath wroldeb a ber- thynai i'r lobl. Nid oedd y mesnr yma yn cyn- rychioli yr oil o'r arian fentbycid elcni. Y flwvddyn flaenorol treuliwyd 68 miliwn, o ba swm yr oedd 53 miliwn yn arian benthyg. Dyna'r gwaitll oedd yn myned. yn mlaen yn awr. Ar ddarlleniad cyntaf y mesur hysbysodd Canghellydd y Trysnrlys y Ty y byddai y rhyfel yn ei anterth hyd ddiwedd Gor- phenaf, ond na fyddai'r ymladd mor drwm ar ol hyny. Tybed a oedd y gwr anrhydeddus o'r un farn yn awr wedi i ni ddod i fis Gorpbenaf ? Yr oedd y sefyllfa filwrol yn awr yn fwy difrifol nag yr oedd llawer yn sylweddoli, gan fod y Boeriaid yn fwy o ymladdwyr ar y maes nag ar ddecbreu y rhyfel. Yn mhellach, yr oedd yn anheg taflu baicb y rbyfel ar yr oesau oedd i ddod. Gyda golwg ar gael arian o'r Transvaal, credai fod y goresgyniad yn gwneyd hyny yn anmhosibl. Pe btiaset-ti wedi gadael y ddwy wlad yn annibynol, gallasem hawlio arian ganddynt yn dal am en hannibyniaeth, a gadael iddynt godi'r arian yn eu ffordd eu bunain. Ond yn awr, byddai angen am yr arian i ddadblygu y Trefedigaetbau. Yr oedd beichiau anuniongyrchol y rhyfel yn drymach na'r rhai uniongyrchol. Yr oedd wedi arwain i gynydd parhaol yn y Fyddin, gan ei bod wedi gostwngsafle Prydain yn Ewropac yn America. Aeth Mr Brodrick yn ei flaen i wneyd sylwadau ar gynnygiad Mr Lloyd-George yn y Queen's Hall i roddi i'r Boeriaid delerau a allent yn rhesymol eu derbyn. Gan fod Mr Lloyd-George wedi boddloni ar welliant Mr Dixon yn cynnygjllwyr annibyniaeth i'r ddwy Weriniaeth, daliai Mr Brodrick a Mr Bal- four fod Mr George or ffafr annibyniaeth i'r Boer- iaid. Gwnaeth Syr H. Campbell-Bannerman brotest gryf yn erbyn defnyddio y gair Pro-Boer," ac ar ol cryn lawer o siarad o bob tu cytunodd Mr Balfour i alw'r gair yn ol.

Mae Roodeport ar'y llinell o Johannesburg i Klersdorp, rhwng Johan- nesburg a Krugersdorp. Collwyd 3919 o filwyr drwy v rbyfel yn mis Mehefhi. Er dechreu y rhyfel hyd ddiwedd Mehefin y mae rhif y lladdedigion a'r clwvfedigion &r\ Afl1 yii uzi,ziel. Anfonir pedair mil ar ddeg o filwyr i'r Trans- vaal erbyn decbreu Medi. Y mae traul y rhyfel yn filiwn a chwarter yn yr wythnos.

Letter from Mrs. Christian De Wet. The "Daily News" has received the following letter from Mrs Christian de Wet:— "Johannesburg, 24th April, 1901. it "To the editor of the newspaper in England in which towards the end of March a portrait of myself and children appeared. Sir,—Havir.g been informed that besides the appearance of my portrait, you also publish that I was now living in Johannesburg under the orotec- tion' of Her Majesty s Government, I hereby7 wish most strongly to protest against the use of such expression. After our farm had been devastated by Her Majesty's troops and all our other posses- sions destroyed and taken, I roamed about with our children for some months in order not to fall into the bands of the enemy of our nation up to the 20th November, 1900, when I was taken a prisoner and conveyed to Johannesburg in a cattle truck, not- withstanding they were well aware of the fact that I was the wife of General De Wet. Seeing that I was captured and conveyed hither against my wish and will after having been robbed of everything, I demanded from tne military authorities here suffi- cient food, and of good quality. First this was promised me, but a few days later I was informed .in writing that I would only be supplied with food in case I signed a document, and therein declared that I was without means of subsistence and was entirely dependent on Her Majesty's Government' (the Queen of England was then still living). The authorities farther reserved to themselves the right to publish such document. To have done this would have been very humiliating to me, and I could not expose myself to it, especially not to the enemy of our nation. I have asked no favour from the enemy, and I have no intention of .ever doing so. It, is true I live at Johannesburg, but against my will. From the English I receive nothing, and do not want anything from them. What I require I hope to receive through the intervention of humane friends, not from the English.—I am, &c., (Signed), C. M. DE WET (wife of General Christian De Wet.)"

( Montgomeryshire Assizes. MR. JUSTICE GRANTHAM'S COMPLIMENT TO WELSHMEN. The summer assizes for the county of Montgomery were held at Newtown on Monday, before Mr Justice Grantham. His lordship was accompanied on the bench by the Sheriff (Mr A. W. W. Wviin) and his chaplain (the Rev W. Jones), vicar of Meifod. In charging the Grand Jury, of whom Mr A. C. Humphreys-Owen, M.P., was the foreman, his lord- ship said that it was the first time he had been in Newtown, but he was glad to find that they were still maintaining the high character of the county, which was one of the most remarkable in history, as regards the absence of crime, at any rate of modern times. He had once before been in the county, at Welshpool, then there was but little business. It was very satisfactory to him therefore to find how entirely the old character of Welshmen had passed away. When he was a child be was taught the old adage "Taffy was a Welshman. Taffy was a thief," hut now he thought it had better be altered to Taffy is a Welshman, Taffv is a good honest subject, of the King." There was no county in England where they found so little crime as in the principality. Perhaps when they got into the more populous counties they would "find that, crime would increase, but in fheiragricultural coun- ties, unless they came to loggerheads over something, there was very little crime. In fact they left the lawyers very little to do. After referring to the one case which was down for trial, his Lordship said that at the present time they had to congratu- late the King upon the great success which had attended-the mission of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York to the colonies. It was a source of congratulation that day by day they read in their papers the records of another triumphal entry into a town where they won the hearts and affections of fellow subjects, and also of those who were not of their own blood. He also could not help congratu- lating personally the inhabitants of the county of Montgomery upon the great service they bad rendered to the country by the way in which their Yeomanry had volun- teered/ for South Africa. He did not know of any county of its size which had done so well as the county of Montgomery in sending out four companies of Imperial Yeomen, every one of whom had rendered most valuable service. He understood that, those who first went out, wprp now coming home, and it, must, be a great source of pleasure to the county to feel that they had been most useful to their country, and he was sure they would be received with that enthusiasm which they deserved. Hugh Osborne Hughes (20) commercial traveller, was charged with having on the 14th March, at Llansantfflaid, forged an endorsement on a cheque for I0s., with intent to defraud D. Mason, and also with having obtained the cheque by false pretences. From the evidence it appeared that, the prisoner obtained the cheque, which was drawn in favour of Henry Dennis on account of goods ordered, and en dors feu it with the name of Henry Dennis. The prisoner, who had been in custody for four months, was found guilty and sentenced to three months' hard labour. WEATHER AND THE CROPS. (From Monday's "Mark-lane Express.") The markets of the United Kingdom were very weak on the 1st and 2nd, but on the 3rd there was a rally, and steadiness marked the 4tli, 5th and6th.

Bradford,"July 8tli.-Tliere is no further decline in values here to-day, and on the whole a rather steadier tone prevails all round. In English wools users are showing a preference for the new clip export yarn. Trade is quiet, but spinners are fairly busy for the home market in pieces. Makers of mohair and best classes of lusters are well engaged. In thewarehouses business is fairly good
