SWEPT OVERBOARD gew I SWANSEA TRAWLERMAH SAVEDIBY NET CALE ADVENTURES. The crew of the Swansea steam trawler, Lawrenny Castle, one of the fleet owned by the Castle Stea-m Tray. ling Co., which put into port this morn- ing, had an exciting expeneitce during the gale. They set out from Swansea last Wednesday week to exploit the fishing ground a-bout 300 miles west of Lundy. All went well until jnday evening. We had kept the nets down longer than usual," said Mr Probyn, the nia-oe, who 'lives at Cardiff, in couvewrataon with a "Leader" representative, "and darkness had fa-ilen when we beza.n to haul them in. As we were domg so we shipped a heavy sea, which broke our gear, and washed me and a deck hand off our feet. I had hoki of the winch, and clung on tightly. The other chap went under me, but was saved by the net. I thought he had been washed overboard at tirst. "It was one of the worst nights I have had in my twenty yeats' at e-ea, he added. "I had about as livedy an experience a year last Christ-mas, when we lost the funnel and all." Sea's Terrific Force. Considerable damage was done to the trawler by the terrible force of tfaeeeas. The mizzen sail was blown to pieces, the lifeboat was broken in, one of the cabin ventilators wa-s damaged, and hatches ailiso suffered. Water rushed in to the cabin and engine room, but the pumpsmen were kept busy, and danger was averted. The ship also had ai Sist.

Lifeboats Damaged. The steamer George Fisher, from one of the up-Channel ports, put into the Prinoe of Wales Dock, Swansea, on Sunday evening, having sustained a good deal of damage to one or her life- boats. The bridge was aho damaged. Castleton's Experiences. The full-rigged ship Castleton, which put back to the King's Dock on Satur- j day, after being a week in the roads, dropped her cable, aud lost her port anchor. Fearing the remaining anchor would not hold, the master decided to re-dock and await more favourable weather. The ship was towed by the tugs Conqueror and Expert, assisted by the pilot cutter Beaufort.

PROTECTION AND WAR. I SIR ALFRED MOND'S INTERESTING I LETTER. I RUSSC-CERMANY TREATY. i Sir Alfred Mond, M.P., writing in the "Daily Chronicle" to-day upon the week's incident between Russia and Germany, deals with the difficulty for thg,ge living in a Free Trade country to realise the seriousness of the conflicts of interest between those who are placed under protective tariffs. Such an lmpo-rtant German organ as the "Berliner TagobLatt," in a striking article in its woerdy issue of March lii, pointedly calk s attention to the faot that the yWIa- Vj17. for "wl,idl Russia, is supposed to be planning her attack on Genu any, coincides with the expiry I of the Treaty of Commerce of 190ti be- tween the two countries. The question of the terms on which this treaty should be renewed has for some time formed I the subject ol bitter controversy ooui m German and Russian Protectionist i circles. I I Protectionist's Claim. I I -1 I I As is usually the ca?, 1 roteoDiomsiB I in both oountne:. claim that the I. t?, has been acting to their detriment, and mutually express a desire still further to raise the tariff wall between the two States, of course at the expense of the consumer on both sides of the frontier Russian commerce hae always been ex- tremely dissatisfied with the treaty. Indeed, Russia only accepted it because she was at the time so weakened by the Russo-Ja panose war that she was not m a position seriously to protest To English Free Traders, or even I Tariff Reformers, it would min- credible that a Euippean Power could bo supposed capable of beginning a war about the revision of a purely com- mercial treaty. Yet a moderate organ like the "Berliner Tageblatt" states, in the course of a leading art icle, that "it is not very likely that Russia will pre- fer a war with Germany and her allies to making a new commercial treaty, as the risk of such a war is, after all, much greater than that which s he iu- curred in her war with Japan." Thus this possibility is not regarded as en- tirely excluded, and in such circum- stances a lug army undoubtedly bo- comes a powerful factor in endeavour- ing to secure better terms for the sale of pigs or com. Contributory Cause. Free Traders have never doubted! that a Protectionist policy was one of the contributory cause.s of war; that it has led and leads to increascj in the burden of armaments; and that retalia- tion in commercial matters and the im- position of now duties are capable of causing serious poiiticaJ complications. On the other hand tariff's have fre- quently been used on the Ckmtinent not for commertfiai bat for purely political purposes, dltties being 'raised or con- cessions made, not on a "scientific tariff" basis, hut a. pawns in the diplo- matic; game, according to the desire either to attract cr to threaten the other negotiating Power. Therefore Free Traders have always felt that universal Free Trade, as Cob- den already argued, would be one of the most effective factors in promoting universal peace. There are many of us in this country who, quite apart from its bad economic results, regard the re-introduction of Protection from an international standpoint with appre- hension. The illustration to which I have ventured to call attention will, I trust, show, that this apprehension is I not merely theoretical, and that Pro- tection involves'm?jt<y more dangers and evil effects than ;ire realised by our I somewhat naive Tariff Reform friends.

SON SEES FATHER KILLED. COLLIER'S EVIDENCE AT RHYSYFRO I INUUcST Accidental death was the verdict re- turned at the inquest on David Francis, 47, collier, of the Old Post Office, Rhvdyfro, who met his death at Gil- wen Colliery on Thursday last. Deceased's son, Matthew Francis, who was working with his father, said that the fall of stone took place without any warning. Witness was nearly caught by the fall, but he was only touched on the.heel by a part of ths stone. Dd. Jones Samuel, fireman, gave evi- dence of having examined the working places a short time previously. The stone, which came down on deceased was 8 ft. in length, and 2 ft. in breadth. Dr. Dahne attributed death to dis- location of the neck.

Mr. Jones was the chairman of the Furnishing Committee of the new building, and when his promotion to Plymouth was announced, a desire was felt by the General Committee of the Association to show their appreciation of his services. Their opportunity came on Saturday evening, Mr. Jones being prevailed upon to defer his de- parture for an hour. Mr. George Cook presided over a full meeting of the General Committee, and Mr. J. C.

NEW BONE INSERTED, I 1 LONDON SUR,EON'S MARVELLOUS, OPERATION. II 9L A marve llous operation "has just been accomplished at St. Mary's Hos- i pital, Paddmgton, London. Six years ago the patient (now a fifteen-year-old boy, fell and injured his right leg below the knee. Shortly afterwards the larger bone of the lower leg, the tibia, began to swell and became very painful. After four operations at yearly intervals the central six inches of the diseased bone were removed a month ago by sawing it through at two points, one some three inches above the inntit ankle and the other a few inches below the knee. The fihrous covering of the bone (the periosteum) was lett in position. To repair the gap thus formed, a seven-inch strip of the smaller bone (the fibula) of the sound leg was re- moved at n second operation. This narrow shaft of bone was iri- serted into the soft central marrow in the two healthy enda of the formerly diseased tibia. "The wounds in both legs have healed satisfactorily," said one of the surgeons in charge. "The patient will soon be np and about, with, we hope, two sound legs, for tho first time in six (years."

DAVID'S TOMAHAWKING I The M.P. who writes the Parlia- j mentarv article for "London Opinion," I describing the Tory attack upon Mr. I Llovd George ttnd the response—says: David was out for scalps, aud such a n'ght's tomahawking has not been seen for years. The most amusing aspect of it was that the Opposition did not quite know whether to be very angry with him or to admire his ability and agility, for he rouses in the breasts of his opponents the most conflicting emotions. All of them like Lloyd George, the man, the fighter, and the negotiator, and it is with great difficulty that they become really angry with him. Strange —but true.

THE IDEAL WELSHMAN. I Mr. J. Towyn Jones, M.P., speaking in London on Saturday said that Welsh- men were as a whole of the character commonly ascribed to Cardiganshire men-either over-grasping or unduly generous. Welshmen by temperament were largely guided by emotion and could be swayed by that. But in the field of practical work they were also I now pre-eminent. They wanted all the characteristics of the Saxon combined with the sentiment of the Celt.

WORKS ON FIRE. DISASTROUS CONFLAGRATION AT LLANELLY MUCH DAMAGE DONE. Early this morning another disastrous fire occurred at the Lianelly Tin Stamp- ing Works, owned by the Welsh Tin- plate and Metal Stamping Company, Ltd., and the damage is estl*juat"i amount to some thousands of poulpi?. The outbreak was discovered at the cooperage soon alter four o'clock -th, morning, and the alarm was immedi- ately given by the watchmen by sound- ing the hooter, with the result that the tire brigade connected with the works wa-s soon on the scene, under the cap- taincy of Mr. Daren, of Penibrey-road, I tae hnaiicrai secretary of the Llaneily Association Football Club. They oom- batted the llames, which were ranned by the gale that was blowing from, M? open &?a. Lack of Water. I The brigade worked with untiring energy-, ouo tnere was a snort stippiy oi water. The town brigade were not sum- moned untu ciose upon SIX o ciocti. \vhen they arrived, however, the in- creased length of hose enabled them to get a plentiful supply of water. The nre had by this time got possession of the cooper s shop whicn, along with the timber stored by him, was fuming f uriously. The two sets of firemen played on the raglug flames for hours, doing their ut- most to prevent the flames trom spread- ing to tne packing shop, w hich is situ- ated in ciose proximity. They worked under the greatest difficulties, and some of the men were almost enveloped in the lfames, while others were over- come by the dense smoke. The cooper's shop has been totally destroyed by the fire, and some hun- dreds of pounds' worth of timber has bean burned. The fire was still raging at 10 o'clock, but the gallant efforts of the firemen in endeavouring to prevent the spread of the flames to the packing shop were successful, and by eleven o'clock they had got the fire under con- trol. All Work Stopped. I The workmen and girls numbering about 400, upon arriving at the works at the usual 4iour this morning, found the doors closed, and they were in- formed that there would be no work for the day. The girls flocked to the North Dock, where a fine view of the outhj-eak could he obtained. They whiled away the time in the wind and rain hy and dancing the Tango. The 8.50 hooter at the works was greatly missed by the seafaring men.

IN A PAUPER'S CRAVE. I ————— EXTRAORDINARY STATE OF AFFAIRS I AT CAiiSIFr. How an asylum patient came to be buried in a pauper's grave without his relatives even knowing of his death was revelled at a meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guar- dians on Saturday, when a demand for ex- humation for re-burial in the family grave was made. The death occurred at the Cardiff Mental Hospital at Whitchurch, and the expLana- tion furnished by the town clerk of the .authority's omission to apprise the rela- tives was that they had not complied with a rule which required them to register tueir names in a book kept for the purpose. Mr Harry Prickett, a member both of the city council and the guardians, gave .in assurance that relatives' names would in future be recorded as a matter of course, without having to "ke the initiative, and there would be no delay in giving informa- tion of death
