)Uit LONDON LETTER. [By OUR LONDON CO^H^SPOXDKXX.] This week sees the first part of tii-e first ession of the new Liberal Government wear- ng to its close. Tha Education Bill has at ast got clear of the Commons; uevr names lave been made in its discussion, and as new nen emerged at the polls new mAn have 'merged in the House. The changes have )een many since the great chnvige of political ortunes in February. When the guillotine fell .t el-even o'clock on the first working day of he week the Education Bill was ready to he landed over to the tender mercies of the fjords temporal and spiritual, where the ?rimate has lately been eliciting pertinent in- orniation on the extent ar.d valiu*. of religious eaching in schools. The Lords' debate on lie second reading is the feature of the niddle of the week. On the day before, in the Commons, the Colonial Estimates offered op- portunity for the Government to make public ts decision on the question of the constitu- tional settlement to be imposed 011 the Trans- vaal and the Orange River Colony. The ques- tion of the preponderance of the vote in the lew Chambers—British or Boer—has occu- pied attention for the last fortnight. The Government's proposals for a constitu- tion for xh-i iVuisvaal have created plenty af talk, but nothing has amused people so much as C.B.'s denunciation of Mr. Balfour 13 unpatriotic. Mr. Balfour has so often criticised the Prime Minister's position with regard to South Africa that this Roland for 1P Oliver seems the most piquant thing of the whole week. Representative Government is to be given at once, and a second nominated Chamber will overlook matters generally and see that all is in order. Sir. Lyttelton. Mr. Balfour. and Lord Milner, in the Lords, spoke all in pessimistic vein. The supporters of the Government are pleased with the pro- posals. They give manhood suffrage and pay- ment of Members, and the idea is that the experimental scheme should be limited in duration to five years. The week also sees ",he meeting of the British Association, which is really worth more at- tention at the hands of the man in the street than he commonly gives it. Some of the summaries of papers should be read, with a timely reference at times, perhaps, to a manageable dictionary. Some of the papers on the phenomena of life should be seen— that. for instance, on the life history of the foraminifera. those tiny shell creatures—or Professor Oliver's paper on The Seed: A Chapter in Evolution," or some of the papers on psychology, or that 011 the early relations of magic and religion. Such themes as rerent earthquakes, by Pro- fessor Milne, and fatigue in metals, after the Charing Cross roof accident, will have bear- ing on recent occurrences, while the geo- graphical payers on Thilpet, the Soudan, British coast erosion, and so on, are all fairly topical just now. The papers, too, of the educational section should not be neglected, for has not Huxley (who spoke at the Jubilee meeting at York) said "Ignorance is visited as sharply as wilful disobedience; incapacity meeting with the same punishment as crime" ? The non-appearance of the D'Angelys at the Inquiry of the Royal Commission which rs looking into certain duties of the London police was something of a surprise for London observers. It will be remembered that a woman was taken to the police-station for speaking to men in the neighbourhood of Regent-street, and that it was explained with indignation that she had just missed her husband, and was asking for directions. There was an outcry in the House of Com- mons, and a demand for apology to the lady. The Home Secretary, Mr. Gladstone, how- ever, took the matter very quietly, though questions were designed to trouble him. No apology was made, and the matter was left to the Commission. Now M. and Madame D'Angely have omitted to respond when their names were called, and a Parisian landlady told of letting rooms to them in other names. Other names still were spoken to by the police. The man had been divorced. The Government has cut down the bill for naval -shipbuilding. There has been a good deal of talk about it. The statement in the Lobby of the House is that a section of the Liberal following demanded yet greater re- ductions, and that the reduction agreed on is such as will not in itself create any great harm. The Government proposed three Dreadnoughts, two ocean destroyers, two coast destroyers, and eight submarines, at a cost of £6.800,000. The Unionist pro- gramme was for four Dreadnoughts, five ocean destroyers, twelve coast destroyers, and twelve submarines at a cost of £9.340,000. On that programme the loss to the Navy is eight ships, and the reduction on the estimates £2,540,000. This is the Govern-* ment'-s compromise scheme. It is felt that the economists will be pleased by it, and that the patriotic party—the Blue Water school—will not be hurt, for has not Mr. Haldane de- clared: "The Blue Water school is the prin- ciple of the present Government, as it was the principle of the late Government. It is the bed rock of the organisation of our de- fence" ? The Government hope to make a good show, in consequence of their military and naval reductions, at the Peace Conference at The Haglie, and a member of the Cabinet has said: "We wish to make a strong appearance at The Hague Conference in favour of dis- armament, and before we go there it is our desire to shew our neighbours—the Great Powers—the way. We do not regard a war in Europe as likely, even between two inter-territorial Powers, and the possibility of one between Great Britain and a Conti- nental State is absolutely unlikely." Britain will go to The Hague, then, and will point to her own practice for an argument against bloated armaments. The Inter-Parliamentary Congress spoke up pretty definitely for arbi- tration The Hague will have even more emphatic things to say. One of the effects of the reduction policy in the Army and Navy was seen whan the King held his farewell inspection of the 3rd Battalion Scots Guards in the grounds of Buckingham Palace. His Majesty evidently spoke under strong emotion, and expressed his deep regret at losing the battalion, to which he presented its colours five years ago. "I never," said the King, "saw a finer body of officers and men, and it is with sincere re- gret that I part with you." The Government, his Majesty explained in his first sentence, considered it necessary to reduce the expense of the Army; hence the disbanding of the 3rd Battalion. But, said the King, in his last words, I hope that you will later, when your duties are oyer, confide those colours to my care. I hope it may be possible for me, or at any rate my successor, to see a 3rd Bat- talion of the Scots Guards carrying the same colours again." This is good for the present distress, but other days other ways. London theatre-goers heard with deep re- gret of the death of Mr. J. L. Toole at Brighton, though, of course, the famous comedian had not been seen on the stage for ten years. H? had been for that time an in- valid. spending practically all his time at Brighton and Margate. Toole's Theatre, be- fore it was pulled down, was a witness to his term of management, and he had a long London experience. Irving and he were always great friends, and in recent years were the outstanding representatives of a depart- ing generation of actors, each one easily first in his own particular school. This week has brought another fire sen- sation which :s more curious than tragic. It conjures up strange mysteries and distracting troubles. The letters in a letter-box were set alight at a Post Office in the West End. Among the letters was found a small loz. glass bottle, which had evidently contained a preparation of liquid phosphorus. The effect of uncorking on the liquid phosphorus would be to set it alight. How familiar to Londoners and a good many provincials is Regent s Canal, which flows bv Regent's Park! Visitors to the Zoological Gardens may encounter it in their progress. It is interesting just now as the scene of a dream which tragically came true. Mrs. Sinclair, of Emmett-road, Mile End, dreamt the other night that one of her lodgers —a tailoress named Sarah Ann Saunders- drowned herself in the Regent's Canal. Next morning the body was found, there.

At Bristol John Gillard, thirty-five, liar, boon remanded charged with attempting to nrarder his wife. It was alleged he wont to rho resi- dence of a lady at Clifton, where 111., wife was employed, and cut her throat with a razor and afterwards attempted his cwn life. Emily Mills, who was sent to prison at Bristol for neglecting her children, swore that her hus- band lived on her immoral earnings, but he de- nied this, and was discharged.

WELSH MINERS' WAGES. •*> DEMAND FOR .) PER CENT. ADVANCE. The miners of South Wales have applied to the coalowners for an increase of 5 per cent. in the wage-rate. The matter will be dis- cussed by the Conciliation Board on August lOtlt. The formal demand from the work- men's representatives was posted on Tuesday by Mr. T. Richards. M.P.. to the coalowners' secretary, Mr. Dalziel. Amongst the miners generally the amount of the increase deman- ded, 5 per cent., is regarded as quite moder- ate, as the factors put forward on the men's side are thought to entitle the men to a more substantial advance.

A great landowner was remarkable for the pompousness of his manner. He was one dav rid- ing leisurely through a small village when he happened to meet a rough-looking farmer's boy who was pulling a calf along with both hands by means ot a rope attached to its neck. Who;: the boy saw him approaching he stood still and, opening both eyes and mouth, stared him full in his face. 9 "Do you know me, boy?" the great man. "Yes,, sir," answered the boy. "'Ihen what is my name?'* he asked. Why you are Mr. X," was the reply. "Then why don't you take off your hat to ?TIe?, said Mr. X pompously. the rustic, still tugging at the rope, replied: "So I will sir, if you will hold the calf."
