ROYAL ACADEMY BANQUET j Prince of Wales and the King's 0"' Foreign Tour. The Prince of Wales banqueted with the president and council of the Royal Academy of Arts at Burlington House on Saturday night, and. in responding to the toaat of The Royal Family," said that we e.t home had followed with lively interest the "torring events of the King's present tour, and P.e was sure that his Majesty's subjects heartily appreciated the very cordial reception be had received in Portugal, Italy, and France. P,eferring to his appointment as president of the Eoyal Commission for the exhibition at St, Louis, his Royal Highness said that in that exhibition, although we might be hardly pressed in the competition of industrial and Mercantile exhibits, he hoped, at any rate, that British art would be worthily repre- sented, and would hold its own with the other Nations of the world. Admiral Sir John Fisher humorously Ponded for the Navy, remarking that Mr. Brodrick had asked him to mention the Army, hich  not go anywhere without the aid °f th Navy; and Mr. Brodrick, responding for the .\rmy, asked for indulgence for his depart- ? ???ting that the present Government's  13VBLeM' t e believed, would bear the test "r't' ayid triaL He regretted Lord Kitchew8 ^bsence in India, but it ??'

NEW BOOK OF REVELATION.I
NEW BOOK OF REVELATION. I Rhymney Railway Time Table I Examined by "Idris." The train system by which the Rhymney Railway Company contrive to bewilder tfieir passengers is so original that I feel it would repay close study. The fact is, I only know one line that ever surpassed it, and that was the famous railway between Portumna. and Parsonstown, and the Portumma Railway was only able to achieve that distinction, because it was run on methods illumined by the genius of the Emerald Isle. The reason I call attention to the matter now is because the ey people have been revising their tables. There was a good deal of mystery attaching to the process, and the offioials gave knowing glances, aa much as to say, "You wait a bit, my boy, and youH behold wonders." The first of May saw the light of the im- proved service burst upon an astonished and grateful world, and the public are now declar- ing that the company is more than ever deter- mined to live up to the reputation suggested by the first syllable of its name. A glance at the train service reveals two or three interesting points. In the first pla-oe the trains have an odd Way of running in little groups and ooulpsiiieg as though they were afraid to travel alone. Of course, we could understand such & thing in America. where trains get held up now and again, but the people who live in the valleys served by the Rhymney hold that line in such holy awe that rm sure they would, never dream, of such a. thing. In the second place this grouping leaves the most painful and distressing gaps. Trus, between nine and ten a.m. a Oaerphilly man can get to Cardiff by three trains; after that he has to wait no less than two hours and a quarter! Again, on the journey back, there is a gap of two hours in the morning, and one of nearly three hours in the evening, viz., from 7.45 to 10-20 (except on Thursday and Saturday). It was thought by some that these anomalies would disappear in the new service. Vain hope! We who know the RhYxnney knew a great deal better than that. The new time- table simply intensifies the grievance; in fact, it looks very rfiuch as though it were made out with that object exclusively in view. I say nothing here about the Sunday trains* but will close by appending a time-table, which I trust the company will adopt at ita next alteration. It has been drawn up oare- fully in the spirit of that remarkable line and with a single eye to its unique traditions. Let the reader ootnpare it with the actual service:— DEPART FROM CARDIpp. A.M. 5.55 8.30 Once a month. 8.32 Sundays only 8.35 Except first Saturday in leap year, 8.39 J 8.46 Starts from the arrival Platform. 11 11. 5 Thursdays only, except Holy Thursday, P.M. 3 3. 5 Caerphilly Fair only. 3.6 3. 8 Not on Bank Holiday or any other day that there is likelyto be a. crush. 7: g 1 Saturdays only. 7. 6 Sundays only, except Easter and Whit- Sunday. 10.20 Unless there is alk important concert, or play, or lecture, &0., in Cardiff, when this train will start at 9.3. 11 Every Tuesday week.

THE BALKAN CRISIS.
THE BALKAN CRISIS. A Plot to Blow Up: Salonika, 1,000 REVOLUTIONISTS ARRESTED. A Salonika telegram says:—A quantity of nitro-glycerine with fcise, wires, electric lamp, and a complete apparatus for the manufac- ture of explosive bombs, all of English make, have been discovered in a shoemaker's shop communicating with the Ottoman Bank build- ing by an underground passage. The total number of Bulgarians killed in the disorders is probably a hundred. The Austrian battleship Habsburg, the coast-defence ironclad Wien, and the torpedo gunboat Magnet arrived on Saturday. Two battalions of Konia redifs have arrived from I" Smyrna.-Reuter. Another telegram received from Salonika states that the police, when engaged in I making arrests, discovered that trenches had been dug and mines laid under the chief II quarters of the town. It appears that the revolutionists, who were provided with dyna- mite in large quantities, intended to blow up the whole town. Three hundred comitadjas are said to have been killed, while the number of those arrested is estimated at a thousand. The branch of the Ottoman Bank at Salonika has been re-opened for business after only 24 hours' interruption.-Reuter. Considerable irritation is shown in Turkish official circles against Bulgaria, and there is a feeling that extreme measures should be taken against the principality. It is con- sidered certain, however, that the Powers would not permit any aggression by Turkey against Bulgaria. The Special Commission which was sent to pacify the Albanians is still at Ipek. The Consuls at Prisrend have telegraphed to their Ambassadors that the authorities have not yet arrested the Alba- nian ringleaders. M. Zinovieff has had au audience of the Sultan to urge the arrest or banishment of these Albanians.—Renter. The Cologne "Zeitnng" publishes a telegram from Salonika, stating that several persons were caught in the streets there on Friday with dynamite in their possession. Some of these, who threw bombs at random, were attacked by the infuriated crowd and killed. Numerous arrests were made. Vigorous resistance was, apparently, encountered by the police, as several hundred persons were kill,ed.-Reuter. A Vienna telegram says:-As the immediate result of the Salonika outrages, it is stated that Turkey will address a Memorandum to the Great Powers, accusing Bulgaria of responsibility for recent events in Macedonia. It is further asserted that Turkey will bring forcible pressure to bear upon the Princi- pality in case it does not cease to aid the revolutionary movement. In official circles here much indignation is expressed concern- ing Turkey's negligence in adopting precau- tions against such outrages, particularly as the authorities were warned beforehand that something was on foot.-R,uter. At an audience which Mr. Zinovieff (the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople) had with the Sultan on Friday, his Majesty gave assurances that measures against the obstruc- tive attitude on the part of the Albanians would be energetically made, and explained that action had been delayed because he desired to employ only Anatolian troops in the work of pacification; but that, as these troops were now on the spot, the operations which had been begun would be rapidly pushed forward. According to some Con- sular reports, it is estimated that 400 persons were killed end wounded in the affrays between the troops and Bulgarian revolu- tionaries at Balonika.-Reut.er. Complaints are being made from Tikvesh, Kochani, and Kratovo, in the vilayet of Koesova, of ill-treatment by the Slavs, who, it is alleged, rob and beat at pleasure.— Reuter. A Belgrade correspondent says that the authors of the dynamite outrages at Salonika were Bulgarians, attired as women and monks. During the explosions the malefactors cut off the gas supply, and the town was in darkness.Oentral News. The reports of the Salonika Consuls indi- cate that the outrages were the last resort of the revolutionaries, who had been pre- vented by lack of funds from starting a revolu- tionary movement. The number of killed at Salonika amounts to three hundred.-Central .News.

I BANK NOTE FORGERIES. TWO MORE SENTENCES: EXTRA- ORDINARY PRECAUTIONS. The trial concluded at the Old Bailey, Lon- don, on Saturday of Hyman Baron Bernstein and Philip Goldman, who were arraigned on charges connecting them with the forged Bank of England notes case. Mr. Justice Darling sentenced Bernstein to ten and Goldman to five years' penal servitude. Having regard to the tragedy attending the last trial, when Soloman Barmash committed suicide, extraordinary precautions were taken on this occasion, the publio being excluded from the gallery during the trial of the priso- ners. Female relatives were thoroughly searched before entering the court.
POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.
POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. I CHANGES EXPECTED IN THE I CABINET. I SIR EDWARD CARSON AND IRISH I LAND PURCHASE. The Press Association says:—There is reason to believe that the death of Mr. Hanbury may involve a re-arrangement of the Ministry. It may be expected that Sir William Walrond, formerly Chief Whip, will be advanced to Cabinet rank, and the change involving his removal from the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster will not, it is rumoured, be the only change in the Ministry. I STRANGE SPEECH BY SIR EDWARD CARSON. Speaking on Saturday at the annuaJ dinner of the Canning, Chatham. and Stratford Clut at Oxford, Sir Edward Carson (Solicitor- General) alluded to the Irish Land Bill. He said that if Mr. Wyndham had been present he woufd, no doubt, have explained the bene- fit which that measure would confer on Ireland; all he himself could say was that he would give it the minimum of his support. He should do so because of his official position, and simply for the reason that he had no other alternative. MR. JAMES nOIMES TO CONTEST EAST BIRMINGHAM. A meeting of the East Birmingham branches of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser- vants on Saturday evening unanimously requested Mr. James Holmes, of Cardiff, organiaing secretary, to contest the division against Sir Benjamin Stone, M.P., at the next general election. Mr. Holmes later addressed the railway servants in open meet- ing, and said that, with the approval of the other local labour organisations and the National Representation Committee, he would accede to the request. THE PRESTON VACANOT. At Preston on Saturday the Labour party decided to contest the vacancy created by the death of Mr. Hanbury. A meeting will be held at Prest.on on Thursday to select a candidate. The chairman of the meeting of the party was Mr. John Hodge, of Pontardawe. The Liberals will not put a candidate into the field, and the Unionists, amongst whom there is a etrong feeling that one of the young mem- bers of the House of Stanley should be invited to contest the seat, will take no definite step until after the funeral of the late Minister.

BLACKHEATH, MURDER. William Platell, the man charged with the murder of Booker, the lighterman, at Black- heath, and with wounding a police-constable, was again brought up at Blackheath on Satur- day.—Mr. Frayling, who prosecuted for the Treasury, stated that the prisoner seemed to have been drinking heavily.—Prisoner ad- mitted that the revolver he bought was the one lie committed the crime with. Bvidenoe having been taken relative to prisoner's movements on the Saturday night in question, in the course of which it trans- pired that the landlord of the Standard Public- house refused to serve the man, Police-con- stable Cooper wae called. and identified the prisoner as the man who shot him. Witness was sure he was the man, although it was true that at the coroner's inquiry he said he did not think he would be able to identify his assailant.—The prisoner was again re- [m&ndeC
KING IN PARIS.
KING IN PARIS. I Grand Banquet at the Elysee. HIS MAJESTY'S DESIRE FOR A RE-APPROACHMENT. As reported in Saturday's "Evening Express," A Paris telegram- of Saturday says:—At a quarter to nine this morning the Presi- dential carriages arrived at the British Embassy in order to drive the high officials of the Embassy to Vincennes for the review. At nine o'clock exactly the President of the Republic drove up to the Embassy in a splendid landau, drawn by six light bay horses, with artillerymen as postillions. General Andre was seated on the President's left, while M. Abel C-omba rieu and General Dubois, the two secretaries of the Elysee, were opposite. M. Loubet was received at the foot of the steps leading to the vestibule of honour by Sir Edmund Monson and the British Military Attache, who conducted the President to the drawing-room, where King Edward was await. ing him. After conversing most cordially for a few moments the two rulers proceeded to the Presidential carriage, in which his Majesty took his place on the right, with M. Loubet on his left. The Minister of War and General Dubois sat opposite. King Edward waa attired in the same field-marshal's uniform that he wore yesterday on his arrival, with a grey cloak over his shoulders. The British Ambassador, Admiral Fournier, General De Lacroix, and M. Abel Combarien followed in the second carriage. The officer on duty stationed in the court-yard of the Embassy rendered military honours, and the drums belonging to the guard of honour beat a salute. At a quarter past nine the Royal procession, escorted by cuirassiers, started by the Rue Royale and Rue Rivoli towards the review ground. The denee crowds which had gathered behind the line of policemen in the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore cheered the King and President as they drove along. At 10.10 the booming of cannon announced the arrival of the King and President on the review ground, where there was an enormous assemblage of spectators. The troops came to attention as the procession drove up to the Royal stand, which was artisti- cally decorated. Loud cheers greeted- the King and the President. General Andre and General Dubois rode down the front of the troops, end took up a position before the Royal stand. The cheers were renewed when the King and M. Loubet appeared on the Royal stand, cries of Vive le Roi" mingling with cries of Vive Loubet." His Majesty saluted in response, and moved to the front of the tribune. After shaking hands with the Ministers and Presidents of the two Chambers amid another outburst of cheers, the march past began. The troops, who were in cam- paigning order, were in mass formation, and a-8 they passed the Royal stand the officers saluted and flags were lowered. King Edward and President Loubet rose and remained at the salute. RECEPTION AT THE HOTEL DE VILLE. I On leaving the review ground King Edward and President Loubet drove to the Hotel d4 Ville, where they had been invited to attend a reception by the prefects and municipal council. The building was decorated with trophies of French and British flags, and on the campanile was hoisted the same British Royal Standard which was used in 1855 on the occasion of Queen Victoria's visit- M. de Ville, president of the municipal council, surrounded by the municipal councillors, and the prefects of the Seine and of the police, received his Majesty and M. Loubet in a large marquee specially erected for the occasion in the square in front of the Hotel de Ville. Thence' the two Chiefs of State were conducted to the Salle des Prevots, which was most beautifully decorated, the band of the Republican Guards meanwhile playing God Save the King." After distinguished personages had been presented to the King, M. De Ville delivered an address, followed by the Prefect of the Seine. The King and M. Loubet then signed with a golden pen the parchment containing the record of their visit. The illustrious guests were then conducted to a buffet which had been set up at the end of the hall, and M. De Ville' presented to the King a magnificent crystal cup, with a stem and foot of chased silver representing two sirens looked in one another's arms. The King and President Loubet, M. De Ville, and M. De Selves then [lifted glasses of champagne and drank to the health of each other. Soon afterwards his Majesty and the President re-entered their carriages and returned to the British Embassy, which was reached at 12.30. The President and M. Combes at once took leave of the King. The route from the Hotel de Ville to the Embassy, by way of the Rue de Rivoli. the Avenue de l'Opera, and the Rue de la Paix, wae black with people. The troops were on duty in the Rue Royale and the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore from eleven o'clock, and the way was more strictly kept than yesterday, and there were many more sight- seers. At the lunch at the British Embassy covers were laid for 50 guests. Among those invited were the Marquis de Breteuil, the Prince d'Arenberg, the Comtesse de Pourtales, General the Marquis de Galliffet. and the Due de Doudeauville. There were no speeches. A great crowd passed before the Embassy admiring the decorations. RACE MEETING AT LONGCHAMPS. President Loubet again arrived at the British Embassy at a quarter to three, and with Admiral Fournier and General Dubois left at ten minutes to three for Longchamps. Cheers were frequently raised. The Royal procession reached the paddock at Long- champs at half-past three, and was received with military honours. The first race on the card—the Prix Perditar-was started as soon as the party arrived. There was a large attendance. The weather was very fine. The official stand was decorated with a profusion of flowers and foliage plants. The prize given by King Edward for the winner of the Prix Persimmon is a massive gold cup. The chased gold cup offered by his Majesty for the fourth race was won by The Czar, owned by M. Chan, and after its conclusion the King left the ennrae. BANQUET AT THE ELYSEE. I King Edward was entertained to dinner in the evening by President and Madame Loubet at the Elysee. President Loubet pre- sented each of the gentlemen guests to King Edward and Madame Loubet the ladies, after which the King offered his arm to Madame Loubet and led the way to the banqueting- hall. President Loubet followed with Lady Monson. The table in the grand banqueting- hall was magnificently decorated. King Edward sat opposite President Loubet. with Madame Loubet on his right and Madame Failieres, the wife of the President of the Senate, on his left. The menu provided was of the choicest description, and included wines of the most renowned vintages. President Loubet said that he raised his glass in honour of the King, and expressed his gratitude for his Majesty's visit, which, he said, proved the friendly relations existing between the two countries, which ought to draw still closer together for the development of thoir many common interests, as well as for the peace of the world. President Loubet concluded by drinking to the health of his Majesty the King, her Majesty the Queen, the Royal Family, to their welfare, and to the prosperity of Great Britain. King Edward, in replying to M. Loubet's toast, said that it was for him to express his thanks for the reception which had been accorded to him in France. The King re- called in well-chosen words the first impres- sions of his childhood and his former visits to the city of Paris, where everything that was intelligent and good was to be met, and for which he had never ceased to have the warmest sympathy. His Majesty desired a rapprochement between the two countries in their common interests, as well as in the interests of peace and civilisation. He raised his glass in honour of the President of the Republic a.nd his family and to the prosperity and greatness of France. All those present listened standing to the toasts, which made a. great impression upou them. AT THE OPERA. I King Edward and President Loubet left the Elysee at a quarter to ten to attend the gala performance at the Opera. All the streets through which the Royal carriage passed were densely crowded with people and brilliantly illuminated. The King and the President were greeted with cheera and cries of Vive Edouard! Vive Loubet! Vive la Republique!" which were repeated all along the route.— Reuter. The King arrived at the Opera shortly before ten. The appearance of the house was magnificent. The orchestra stalls were filled with officers in brilliant uniform, and in the boxes were ladies in rich toilettes, with glit- tering jewels. Art, science, politics, letters, and finance were well represented. The members of the Institute, in uniform, were present. M. Casimir-Perier (ex-President of the Republic) occupied a box, as well as M. Waldeok-Rousseau. The King, wearing an admiral's uniform, sat with the Presi- dent and Madame Loubet, Sir E. and Lady Monson, MM. Combcs and Delcaese, General Andre, and others. On the entry of the King all those present stood up, turning towards the Royal box. The orchestra played "God Save the King" and the "Marsellaise." King Edward saluted the house. The per- formance then began with the orchestra playing M. Saint-Saens' "Coronation March," and the curtain was raised for the ballet of "The Cid," which was danced by Mdlle. Sam- belli and the leading artistes of the corps de ballet. The next item on the programme was the duet "Samson eL Delila," sung by Madame Heglon and M. Rousseliere, followed by the second act of M. Reyer's La Statue," sung by Madame Acto and MM. Affre and Delmas. After the duet "Samson et Delila" the King led the applause. At eleven o'clock the second act of "La Statue" began, in which his Majesty took great interest. The per- formance ended with the delightful ballet of La Statue," which the King repeatedly applauded. Before and after the arrival at the 'Opera a number of arrests were made owing to those arrested refusing to move on and on account of various cries which had been raised. An enormous crowd of people was assembled along the whole length of the Royal route, and the British Monarch and the President were loudly cheered as they drove by.—Reuter. SUNDAY SERVICE AT THE ENGLISH CHURCH. The King on Sunday morning attended Divine service in the English Church in the Rue Dagnessau. His Majesty, who walked from the Embassy, was aooompanied by Sir Edmund Monson and his staff. The large crowd behind the barriers respectfully saluted his Majesty, some cries of "Vive le Roi" being raised. The King waa received at the church by the clergy, andconducted to a seat in the choir. When the King left the church the choir sang God gave the King," the whole congregation joining in. The church was thronged in every part. His Majesty returned on foot to the Embassy. The English resi- dents in Paris, who occupied seats in the windows of the houses overlooking the route, cheered heartily, and raised cries of "Ciod save the King" as his Majesty walked along. King Edward proceeded subsequently to the luncheon given by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, accompanied by Sir Edmund Moneon and Mr. Colville Barclay, one of the secre- taries of the British Embassy. King Edward was warmly cheered by the crowds in the streets. He was received by M. Delcasse. Covers were laid for a hundred guests. M. Loubet has m-ade the following promo- tions and appointments in the Legion of Honour on the occasion of King Edward's visit:-To be Grand Officers: The Hon. Chas. Hardinge and Sir Stanley Clarke. To be Com- manders: Rear-admiral the Hon. Hedworth Lambton and Sir Francis Laking.—Renter. SWANSEA FRENCHMEN. I Representatives of the Swansea French Colony attended at the council chamber on Saturday for the purpose of presenting an address to the mayor to signalise the visit of the King of England to Paris. The address expressed deep gratitude for the friendly treatment they invariably received from the population of the important borough of Swan- sea, and hoped the entente cordiale now established between the British Empire and the French Republic would be lasting, and would bear its fruit in the maintenance of peace and the development of commercial and social intercourse between the two nations. The address concluded with "Long life to the King," "Vive la, France." A RAPPROCHEMENT SUGGESTED. I The "Journal" remarks thai, at the banquet the King spoke in very good terms of a ra-pprocheruent between France and Great Britain. "Although this is not the formula. current at Royal banquets, we think that the word 'rapprochement' is, in the present cir- cumstances, more significant than the ordi- nary assurances of unalterable friendship." The "Eclair" says:—"We ought to lend our- selves, in all loyaity and goodwill, to the rapprochement which seems to be the aim of our neighbours." -Iteuter.
EX-PRESIDENT KRUGER.I
EX-PRESIDENT KRUGER. I PROPOSED RETURN TO SOUTH I AFRICA. Negotiations are pending between the Dutch section in Pretoria and Mr. Kruger at Mentone to induce the ex-President to proceed to Gape Colony without delay. The section in ques- tion is headed by a prominent irreconcilable. This fact points to grave danger, and the well- informed in Pretoria feel that an error would be made if permission were granted for the return of Mr. Kruger at the present juncture. The ignorant Cape Dutch would probably hail it as a sign of British weakness. Ex-President Kruger will leave Mentone in three weeks' time and spend the summer at Haarlem, near Amgterdam.-Reuter.
THE KAISER IN ROME.I
THE KAISER IN ROME. I The Kaiser arrived in Rome on Saturday afternoon. His train was two hours late owing to a landslip near Oorneto, which blocked the railway line for some time. The programme of the Kaiser's reception was similar to that arranged on the occasion of King Edward's visit. Owing to rain, however, there was not so large an attendance of the public in the streets. The Kaiser, however, was very warmly received. The Kaiser was met at the station by the King and drove to the QuirinaJ, where he met Queen Helena, and afterwards paid a visit to Queen Margherita, the widow of the late King TTu-bert,-Central News. The German Emperor was accompanied by the Crown Prince, Prince Eitel Friedrich, Count von Waldersee, and Count von Buelow. The meeting between the Emperor and the King was of a very formal character, the two Sovereigns embracing each other three times. At the Piazza dell' Esedra the mayor pre- sented the greetings of the city to the Emperor, who, in reply, expressed his pleasure at being in Rome, a city which he loved, and which was inhabited by a people dear to him. The Emperor received an ova- tion from the crowd.-Reuter. The Kaiser on Sunday paid a formal visit to the -Pope, and had a long interview with his Holiness.—Central News.
TORPEDO FACTORY BLOWN I UP.
TORPEDO FACTORY BLOWN I UP. The Kohl torpedo factory, Ohio, has been blown up and demolished. Twenty-five to fifty of the adjacent houses are wrecked or badly shattered, and windows have been blown out of the buildings within a radius of half a mile. Thirty persons, mainly girls, were working in the factory at the time of the explosion. Four persons were killed, and 28 have been taken to the hospitals, some suffering from fatal injuries. It is said that the explosion occurred through a girl stepping into some powder on the floor.-Peuter.
MERSEY TUNNEL RAILWAYI ELECTRIFICATION.
MERSEY TUNNEL RAILWAY I ELECTRIFICATION. The electrification of the service of the Mersey Tunnel Railway was formally inspected on Sunday by the directors of the company and invited guests, and opened for public traffic. The converting of the system from steam to electricity, which is the first to have taken place on any British rail- way, has been carried out by the British Westinghouse Company at a cost of over ado,ooo. Soot and foul air are now abolished, and the tunnel throughout is illuminated electrically, while the distances will be covered in reduced time.
GREAT COAL IFIND IN SCOT-I…
GREAT COAL I FIND IN SCOT- I LAND. An extraordinary discovery of coal has been made at Prestonpans, Haddingtonshire. The Forth Collieries Company recently acquired the Preston Links Mines, which have been shut down for twenty years, and for a very con- siderable time past, they have been engaged boring through a whin dyke of unknown depth. These operations were prompted by the late Dr. Landale's theory that the coal seams of the Lothiaos extended right across the Firth of Forth, and might be connected with the sesyms worked on the Fife side of the Forth. I This prolonged and stupendous venture has been crowned with success, for abundance of coal has been found, thus proving the accu- racy of the Landale theory. The company are already about to erect plant to at first main- tain a 2,000 tons daily output, whilst two other collieries are at once to be opened, meaning the employment of α- couple of thousand miners. Practically a village will at once require to be erected for housing the men in both Pres- tonpams and Cockenzie.
TRIENNIAL VISITATION AT NEATH.I
TRIENNIAL VISITATION AT NEATH. The Bishop of Llandaff held his triennial visitation at Neath on Friday. There was a large attendance of clergy and churchwardens. After a short service at the parish church, which was read by the senior curate of Neath (the Rev. W. E. Jenkins, B.A.), the Bishop delivered his charge, which has already been reported. At the close there was an adjournment to the Castle Hotel, where the Bishop entertained the clergy and laymen to luncheon. Several toasts were honoured. Mr. Herbert Lloyd, of Cilybebyl, proposed the health of the Bishop, and his lordship responded in a, humorous speech. The health of the rural deans was proposed by Mr. David Rees (Cadoxton). The Rev. J. C* Thoimas, M.A., R.D.. responded. On the pro- position of the Bishop it was decided to aend a hearty vote of sympathy to Mrs. Griffith Llewellyn, in her serious illness. The Bishop also made sympathetic allusion to the ill- ness of Mr. J. E. Moore-Gwyn (Dyffrya).

I PAINTERS' STRIKE.
I PAINTERS' STRIKE. jCardiff Men Want an I Increase in Wages. MASTERS DETERMINED TO FIGHT THE DISPUTE. The Cardiff painters who are out on strike await with confidenoe the issue of the conflict upon which they have embarked. It was claimed that the ranks of the strikers were increased to over 300 on Saturday, nearly all the men in the town leaving their employ except in those cases where the masters had granted the 8Jd. per hour. Between fifteen and twenty masters are said vo have granted the halfpenny advance. OPINION OF THE MASTERS. The masters seem just as determined as the men to fight the dispute to a finish. While admitting that the employes' Union have succeeded in calling out practically all the men employed in the town, they say that the trade is so slack in Cardiff that the effect will not be felt for a. considerable time, even if the men persist in remain- ing out. It is argued by the masters that the wage-rate in Cardiff of 8d. per hour is equal to that prevailing in the majority of the provincial towns of the country. As a matter of fact, many of the more competent workmen had been paid 8d. and 9d. per hour, but the bulk of the men are contended not to be worth a higher wage-rate than 8d. The ma4ters aver that the greater proportion of the men are quite unable to undertake any- thing in the way of decorative work, and that probably not more than 10 per cent, of them can show their apprenticeship indentures. One of the leading masters considered it an absurdity on the part of the men to contend that they should be paid at an equal rate with the carpenters and masons, as the latter have to serve a long apprenticeship and pur- chase a lot of expensive tools, while the individual painter can rarely boast of possess- ing more than a few cheap tools. It is probable that a meeting of the master painters will be held to-morrow (Tuesday) to discuss the situation. BOARD OF GUARDIANS ADVANCE WAGES. I The Cardiff Guardians on Saturday con- sidered a letter from the Amalgamated Society of House Decorators and Painters as to the wages of some half-dozen painters employed by the board. The letter explained the position as to the circumstances under which the painters' strike originated, and stated the fact that as no settlement had been arrived at they had decided to cease work. It was hoped the board would see its way to advance the wages of the painters in its employ id. an hour, which had been agreed to by many of the masters. Mr. W. S. Crossman proposed that the application be acceded to, and Mr. F. J. Beavan, in second- ing, said there was nothing on the face of it unfair or out of the way, without going into the merits of the matter. They had urgent work in hand, notably the re-painting of the hospital. Mr. J. W. Hall (Grange) supported the motion, which was agreed to by the board.

CARDIFF-LADEN SKIP fN DISTRESS. Signals Ignored by an Emigrant I Steamer. Captain J. Smeller, of the baxquentine C. W. James, has arrived at Plymouth from Gibral- tar, and reports that, whilst his vessel was unmanageable in mid-ocean, as the result of being dismasted whilst on the voyage from Cardiff to Gibraltar, an English steamer with emigrants passed within a hundred yards in broad daylight, and ignored the signals of dis- tress which were flying. The next day a French vessel took the C. W. James in tow. The aid was most timely, as but for it she must have foundered that night.

CARDIFF SENSATION.
CARDIFF SENSATION. t Infant's Body Found in r a Box. POLICE ARREST A YOUNG [ MARRIED WOMAN. I As reported in the Sports Edition of Satur- day's "Evening Express," The discovery by the Cardiff pclica in a. tin box a.t 82, Page-t-street, of the body of a male infant has excited considerable sensation in Grangetown. A married woman, named Ellen Boyle, is in custody. Mrs. Boyle is 23 or 24 years of age, and is a charwoman. and ha-s been living at 73, Hewell-street. Her husband went out to South Afriea. to serve in the war, and has been away now for a considerable time. On Friday evening Mrs. Boyle left the house in Hewell-street carrying a tin box, and called at 82, Paget-street, where a former mistress of hers is living. She asked permis- sion to stay there, as she had had a row, she said, with the people with whom she had been lodging, and this was granted. Appa- rently, however, she did not understand the reply, for, leaving the box in the passage, she went away. A woman from Hewell-street called on the following morning, and said she believed there was something in the box. A communication was sent to the police, and on their arrival the box was found to con- tain the body of an infant in an advanced staste of decomposition. Mrs. Boyle was arrested. The results of an external examina- tion of the body made by Dr. Pittard, divi- sional police surgeon, point, however, to the fact that the child was prematurely born and had no separate existence. It has, appa- rently, been dead for four or five months at least.
A CURIOUS STORY. J
A CURIOUS STORY. J Sequel to a West End Meeting. MAN CHARGED AS A SUSPECTED PERSON. Frank Cooper, 44, a, tall, stout, well-dressed man, described as an overseer, staying at the Tudor Hotel, Ozford-street, was charged before Mr. Kennedy at Marlborough-street Police-court, London, on Saturday, as a sus- pected person, frequenting Oxford-street with the supposed intention of committing a felony. Detective-sergeant Ball, of Scotland Yard, deposed to having seen the prisoner with two gentlemen in Oxford-street on Friday. In consequence of what one of the gentlemen said, he took Cooper in charge. He said, "All right," and on the way to the station added, "This is the hardest I have ever been done- taken in the street, when I have got nothing." He (witness) had seen him on several occa- sions stop gentlemen in the street, and try to enter into conversation with them. William John Brennan, a New South Wales gentleman staying at a hotel in Southampton- row, deposed that while he and a gentleman cousin were in Slater's Restaurant, Oxford- street, on Monday last, Cooper and another man entered into conversation with them, informing them that they were also from Australia. Cooper represented that he was related to a baronet, and that he wae going to pruchase a motor-car in which he (wit- ness) and his cousin were invited to have a ride next morning. They went to the Tudor Hotel next morning as arranged, but "the motor ride was off." Cooper then said he was going to dine with Mr. Copeland. the Agent- General for New Scuth Wales, and arranged a visit to the theatre to see "The Girl From Kay's." They went to the theatre as agreed. On Thursday they went to see him, as he was getting some betting information, from his club for them. He went out, and returned with the infor- mation that he had put Cloo for his "mate," iBlOO for himself, and £25 between the witness and his cousin on Fighting Furley. They were to meet him in the evening and settle up. The horse lost, but they paid him no money. He said if P,25 would inconvenience them it did not matter, as he had plenty of moeoyn. They were ging round to the club with him on Friday, when he was arrested. James Dastace Brennan. the previous wit- ness's cousin from India, corroborated the evidence, adding that Cooper was not requested by either of them to put money on a horse. Afr. Kennedy said the case could not go on, as there was no criminal offence disclosed He should advise the prosecutors, however, to keep out of Cooper's way in future. Prisoner was discharged.

A COUNT "WANTED." I The Forgery of Mr. Pierpont Morgan's Signature. No traoe has yet been found of Count Bosdari, who is "wanted" by the City police on a charge of forging the signature of Mr. Pierpont Morgan to bills to the total value of ±33,000. The reward of £200 for informa- tion that will lead to his arrest has been notified to every country in the world, and the offer has been translated into aJmost every language. It is understood that Sir Alfred Hickman. M.P., who has suffered to the extent of LLLOOO by the alleged forgeries, is offering a similar sum for the count's cap- ture. Mr. Pierpont Morgan, it appears, has not lost any money in connection with the matter, the loss being divided amongst Sir Alfred Hickman and several banks. A report has reached the police that the count is dead. and the countess is stated to be wearing mourning on the strength of the report. So far, however, the authorities have not been able to confirm the rumour, and they have decided not to relax in any way their efforts to trace the count. He is believed by :them to be on the Continent. He had plenty of money when he left this country, and he has many influential friends both in England and abroad.

O. Rooh, of Broad- way, Cardiff, on Saturday. Shortly after his arrival, one of our r-eprc-sentativce called upon him, and Mr. Rocli explained that he had been to Weston-super-Mare in search of an appointment, which he was fortunatrj enough to obtain. He accepted a situation f4 the offices of Messrs. Stephenson and Alexabi der, auctioneers and estate agents at Cardiff, rather more than a week ago. The eagag-e- ment was merely temporary, and it waa understood that he might leave the firm wery shortly. He was staying at the Young Ikiies Christian Association Rooms, and left thefo on Monday morning with the intenticai of going to the office. He went into the free library, as it was early-about nine eckwl,- and in a Bristol nowepaper. noticed an aaiveiv tisement for a clerk at Messrs. Lenoine Bros* and Parham, auct ion eers and estate agen ts, of Weston-super-Mare. He decided to apply fear the berth, and found a train left Cardiff soon after nine. As it was too early for any at the principals to have arrived at the office, and as he was anxious to take the earliest train, he accordingly left without telling any one where he was going. He intended tt, return the same evening, but the firm, having engaged him, asked him to oommenre hit duties at- once, and he consented to do aoi He had continued his work at the office foi the remainder of the week. When our reporter expressed surprise that he had not written to his friends he replied, Oh, I didn't thisftc they would worry. I told them at home not to be surprised to hear I had left, as I should do any time if I saw a chance of getting a good job. Of course, if I had seen the papers I should have written." As to the Cardiff firm. he added, I had only been there a few days, and I didn't think it would inconw* nience them in the least." On Friday evening. he added, he thought he would spend the week-end with his brother, and wrote to say he was foming. He intended to return to Weston on Monday (to-day). CARDIFF MAN S IRISH TRIP.

THE LATE SIR HENRY BESSEMER.
THE LATE SIR HENRY BESSEMER. A representative committee has been formed for the purpose of raising a. memorial to the late Sir Henry Bessemer. The industrial development of the world in recent years is largely due to the metallurgical process which bears the name of Bessemer, and it has long been felt that his life's work should be suitably commemorated in the centre of the British Empire. The objects of the memorial are the erection, and if necessary the endow- ment, of metallurgical teaching and research works in connection with the University of London, equipped for the testing of ores and metallurgical products by modern methods and for the investigation of new methods and processes; and the foundation of interna- tional scholarships for post-graduate courses in practical work in connection with proposals now under Uie consideration of tne Board of Education. 1
