GENOA LABOUR TROUBLES. Threatened Lock-Out Averted. Telegrams were received at Cardiff on Mon- day stating that the ship discharging labourers at Genoa had decided at meetings held on Sunday not to cease work in conse- quence of the employers' notice to revert to the former system of employment from July 1. This decision has been received at Cardiff with a great feeling of satisfaction, as it had been feared that a lock-out would have taken place and the whole trade been disorganised. As we stated on Saturday, this feeling he.d already resulted in an almost entire cessation of chartering for Genoa, only one English steamer having been taken last week for this destination. As the export to Genoa and Savona from Cardiff averages over 100,000 tons per month, the position was serious, and the telegrams to hand have already had a re-assuring effect, tnd, in all probability, a large quantify of lonnage will be taken up for these Italiaf1 ,orts between now and the end of the month. So increase in freights is expected.

MR. PICKARD & MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S PROPOSALS. Speaking at the annual demonstration of Yorkshire miners, attended by 100,000 people at Castleford on Monday, Mr. B. Pickard, M.P., said the most surprising thing he had witnessed during his eighteen years of Par- liamentary experience was Mr. Oiiamberlain's proposals. The idea that a corn-tax would tend to increase wages was untenable. These proposals should be strenuously opposed by all Trade Unionists, who should vote straight for Labour men wno would help to rid the country of such impositions. A resolution condemna- tory of Mr. Chamberlain's proposals was adopted, a return to Protection being flatorously denounced by varioua speakers.

CARDIFF DOCKS POLICE. I Appointment of Sergeant Davies I Borough Force. Before the business was commenced at Cardiff Police-court to-day, Alderman Trounce (who presided)' said the Bench was pleaded to congratulate Sergeant Davies (who has been court-sergeant for many years) on his appoint- ment as superintendent of the Docks Police at Cardiff. They would be losing a valuable officer, but he had been appointed to a very honourable position, and he (the chairman) trusted he would serve the new authorities long and faithfully, the same as he had served the borough police. Mr. Louis Samuel (another magistrate) said he would like to add his testimony to the admirable services rendered by Sergeant Davies to the borough police. Since he had occupied a seat upon the bench he had always seen the sergeant painstaking in his duties, and always willing to assist the court. He congratulated Sergeant Davies, and hoped he would live long to enjoy his new appoint- ment. Mr. W. B. Francis, solicitor, said he had always met with courteouenees and kindness from Sergeant Davies, and he had been a great assistance to him in conducting the business of the court. He sincerely hoped Sergeant Davies would be prosperous in his new career. Sergeant Davies suitably returned thanks, and said he would always endeavour to do hia duty in the future as he had in the past. (Hear, hear.)

I- OLD LADY FOUND IN A DRAIN PIPE On Saturday night an old lady named Mrs. Breakwell, living with her married daughter at Aldershot, disappeared from her bedroom. Police-conetable Coole was called in, and found the window open and a. clothes line lying broken underneath. After searching the premises carefully, the policeman fancied he heard a groan coming out of a drain-pipe which ran along the end of the garden. The pipe ilseit was not more than ZOin. in diameter, and half full of filthy matter, but the plucky constable, divesting himself of his tunic, crawled through the filth for some yards, when he was able to catch the woman by the heels and drag her back into the open. .The old lady now lies in a precarious condi- tion.

GKYING AT CARMARTHEN MARKET I At Carmarthen Borough Police-court on Monday John Richa-rd Davies, juines-streel, Llaneily, who holds a hawker's and auc- tioneer s liceuce, was charged with crying his wares in the market-place on Saturday, May 30, contrary to the market bye-laws. Mr. James John, solicitor, defended.—Police-con- stable Burnhill gave evidence that defendant kept shouting when offering watahes, cheap jewellery, &c., for sa:le.-Superintendent ginith, the market inspector, said he had cautioned the defendant on previous occasions. In cross- examination, he said that defendant did not shout louder than what many a preacher did when in the "hwyl," and he would not like to say that he was shouting louder than Mr. Lloyd-George would do on Friday and Satur- day next. (Laughter.)—The case having been closed, Mr. John submitted that he had nothing to answer, as the bye-lawa had not been formerly handed in and proved.—After private consultation the Chairman (Mr. W. Morgan Griffiths) said that the technical objection must stand, and the summons would be dismissed, but he wished it to be distinctly understood that the bench had not dealt witn the case upon its merits, and that if a similar j charge were brought before them care would be taken that all formalities were duly oom- i nHad wit?

I MOAT RAGEDY. Tha Murder of Miss Holland. DOUGAL AGAIN ON TRIAL. Evidence of Former Servants. Large crowds waited outside the assize I court at Chelmsford this morning in the hope I MRS. WISY-Elf. I of gaining admission to the remarkable trial of Samuel Herbert Douga-1, formally master of the Moat Farm, Clavering, who stands charged with the murder of Miss Camille Holland. For the few places at the disposal of the police there was the keenest competi- tion, ladies especially exhibiting the utmost eagerness to obtain seats in the court. The progress made with the case yesterday, con- sequent on the judge's intimation to Mr. Gill, the prosecuting counsel, not to enter too far into the details of the forgery charges against the prisoner, leads to the belief that a. verdict may be reached to-night, but if Dougal goes into the witness-box—which he has stated he will do—the probability is that another day will be required to finish the case. Factually on the stroke of ten Justice Wright entered the court with a fanfare of trumpets, and a second later the prisoner, with head erect and shoulders squared, made PRISONER IN COURT. his appearance in the dock with a keen glance round the crowded court. Dougal took the seat placed for him by the warders. Mr. Mr. George Mold, the shoemaker, who made the boots found on Miss Holland's body took his place again in the witness-box, Dougal leaned forward with apparent interest to catch the answers to the questions put by the judge. These questions, the answers to which were carefully noted by the judge, re- lated to the number of boots witness had made on fche lasts he produced. The lasts were those! on which Miss Holland's tiny boots were made, but he admitted he had made boots for other ladies on these lasts. Following him in the witness-stand came Mr. Churchill, the gunmaker, Agar-street, Strand, London, who told the court about some ex- periments he had carried out to a range at which the fatal bullet was fired. He fired bullets at a skull from ranges of six inches, two feet, one yard, and two yards. The bul- let fired at a range of six inches crashed and penetrated into the skull in asimilar manner to that undoubtedly done by the bullet found in Miss Holland's skull. Philip Rowe, a farmer from Saffron Walden, said he acted as starter at the local Corona- tion sports. He got a revolver from Dougal for the purpose, and witness returned it the same day. Mr. Elliott endeavoured to get from the witness some idea of the pattern of the revolver and the size of the cartridges, but Rowe said he knew nothing about them. Dougal, who, as the hearing proceeded, appeared absolutely self-possessed and, entirely at his ease, nodded pleasantly to! Rowe as he passed the dock on his way out II of the witness box Filling Up the Ditch. ] Henry Pilgrim, the old grey-bearded labourer who was employed by Dougal to fill up the ditch where the body of Miss Holland was ultimately discovered, told his interesting story in a low, unsteady voice. The work of filling up the ditch was not carried out day after day, but only now and again. He could not fix the date when Dougal told him he intended to have the ditch filled up. Mr. Elliott: Was it during the time Miss Holland was there that Dougal told yon he was to fill up the ditch?—Yes. Did Dougal ever assist you to fill up the ditch?—Yes, once. The Judge: What time in the day was that? —Early in the morning, sir. Mr. Elliott: Did he work in the same part of the ditch as you?—Yes, just a little bit away from us. Another labourer, na-med Law, spoke to going to Stanstead Station, on Dougal's order, to bring a number of young trees, which were planted in the newly-filled-in ditch. The Judge was anxious to know the date on which these trees were planted, and Mr. Grubbe endeavoured to get the fact from the witness. The latter, however, could only give the vague reply, "Sometime after Christmas in 1899." Mr. Grubbe: For two years afterwards you N,te-aed and re-paseed the ditch, didn't you?— Yes. And did you ever see any alteration in itP- None whatever. The Judge: What sort of trees were planted there?—Elms, firs, and fruit trees. Amy Burgess, a young girl, formerly in service at the Moat Farm, said in April, 1899, [ she went to the farm to do some work when Dougal first took up his residence there. After a couple of days he left, but returned in June at the request of Mrs. Dougal. When she was at the farm in April, she saw a lady whom she knew as Mrs. Dougal. In June there was Another Lady at the Farm. whom she also knew as Mrs. Dougal. By Mr. Elliott: The lady who was at the farm in April lived on friendly terms with Dougal. She never saw any quarrel between them. Did you ever tell the second Mrs. Dougal about the lady you saw there in April?—Yes. Did you say anything to Dougal about her? —No. Mr. Gill: Did you ever hear what had be- come of her?—Mrs. Dougal said she had gone to the Continent. Did Dougal tell you where the first lady had gone?-No, he never did. Mrs. Moreton, wife of the Clavering vicar, described the visits she and her husband paid to the Moat Farm in June, 1S99. She tiever saw the lady stated to be Miss Holland. The lady she was introduced to at the farm was described by Dougal a.a his widowed daughter," but witness afterwards discovered she was his wife. Mr. Elliott: Was the name of Miss Holland ever mentioned to you?—Yes, by Mrs. Dougal. How did she come to refer to the matter?— In course of conversation, because I was shown a complete lady's outfit, which was supposed to have belonged to M'iss Holland. By Mr. Gill: Witness was told Miss Holland had gone on a yachting tour. After several postmen had given evidence regarding the delivery of letters at the Moat Farm. Kate Cranwell, formerly one of Dougal's servants, was examined by Mr. Gill. The im- portant Pointe in her evidence were that she saw Dougal open read, and Afterwards Burn Letters addressed to Miss Holland, whom she did not know, and saw during the time she was in the house a number of silk dresses, stockings, and DETECTIVE SOOTT. I shawls in a large trunk bearing the initials C. C. H." Witness added that there was a I bright new revolver and some cartridges in the house. Mr. Elliott put some questions to this wit- ness, and also to the two following witnesses— both servants who &poke of seeing letters come to the Moat Farm addressed to Miss Holland— with the view of showing that these communi- cations were chiefly trade circulars of no im- portance. The witnesses, however, expressed ignorance of the contents of the letters, except to say they were typewritten documents. (Proceeding.)

PILOT BOAT SUNK. I Two Men Reported Drowned I I The master of the steamship Bushmills, from Rotterdam, after docking in the East Basin, Cardiff, this morning, reported that on Sunday last, when off Dover, his vessel ran down a pilot boat, which sank. One of I the Bushmill's boats also sunk while an attempt was being made to rescue the crew of the pilot. One man was picked up and landed at Dover, but the remainder of the crew-two in number-were drowned.

ROYAL SHOW. I First Exhibition in Permanent Showyard. I The first exhibition of the Royal Agricul- tural Society of England on its permanent show-ground was opened to-day at Park Royal, under the presidency of the Prince of Wales. The weather was bright and warm, the recent change having already almost entirely oblite- rated the traces of the late storms. The facilities offered by the railway companies are likely to be availed of to the full, judging from the attendance up to noon.

Told in Taloids. I Lady Wimborne's reception on the 30th inst. will be for half-past ten o'clock. A marriage has been arranged, and will shortly take place, between John Lancelot Bailey, youngest son of Lord Glanusk, and Vivien Dora, daughter of the late Ferdinand Gaussen Carey, of Guernsey. Mrs. Forrest Browne, wife of the Bishop of Bristol, died at a quarter-past six last even- ing, at the Bishop's Palace. She was married in 1865 to the bishop, her maiden name being Mary Louisa, and she was the daughter of Sir John Stewart Richardson, 13th baronet, of Pitfour House, in the Carse o' Gowrie. H.is lordship came to Bristol in 1897, having pre- viously filled the see of Stepney. The work performed in Bristol by his wife was well- known, and she took an active and useful part in all good causes in the diocese.

FOOTBALL I BURY CLUB. I At the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Bury Football CJub last night it was reported that, after writing off -6ZL depreciation, the year's working showed a profit of £1,455, and the recommendation of the directors to pay a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. on the paid-up capital of the company—the maximum amount allowed by the Football Association—was adopted. The club will command the services of the whole of last season's league players with the excep- tion of M'Ewen. Mears. Wardle, Dearden, and Nusworth, the retiring directors, were re- I elected, and a. sum of fifty guineas was granted to Bury. Infimary,

TRAGIC AFFAIR. A Oilfynydd Woman's Death. DOCTOR'S WIFE SUCCUMBS TO POISON. Considerable excitement waa created at Cil- fynydd and Pontypridd on Monday evening when it became known that Mrs. Keys, licensee of the Richards Arms Hotel, Cil- fynydd, and wife of Dr. Keys, bad expired under tragic circumstances. Mrs. Keys, who was well known throughout the district, was a daughter of Mr. Edgar Treharne, of the Ynysmeurig Hotel, Abercynon, and her first husband was a farmer, of Llantmant, named Thomas. About a twelvemonth ago Mrs. Keys, who was about 37 years of age, was married to Dr. Keys, who had acted as assistant to several practitioners in the dis- trict. It is stated that about 11.30 on Monday morning Mrs. Keys sent a servant girl to a chemist's shop for a bottle of dis- infectant, ostensibly for the purpose of killing mice. She was supplied with a bottle containing carbolic acid. An hour later Mrs. Keys summoned another servant-a young woman named Owen-to her bedroom. The latter found her mistress lying almost help- less on a chair. She said to the girl, I am tired of my life; I wish, to die." The ser- vant at once called the barmaid, and they put Mrs. Keys to bed, thinking that she had had a fit, similar to one which had over- come her on the previous day. On that occasion water was given her to rouee her, and it then had the desired effect. On this occasion, however, it did not avail. The husband returned home at about five o'clock, to find his wife unconscious. He immediately sent for medical assistance, and Dr. Ashton, assistant to Dr. Nicholls, Cil- fynydd, attended at once, and was followed by Dr. B. L. Lewis, Pontypridd. They sus- pected poisoning, and emetics were adminis- tered, but without avail, and Mrs. Keys remained unconscious up to eight o'clock, when she expired. An inquest will be held.

SOMALILAND CAMPAIGN. j Reported Junction of Manning and Cobbe. A rumour is current at Aden (saye the Daily Telegraph" correspondent) to the effect that General Manning and Colonel Cobbe have joined hands, and. have arrived at Bohotle.

DEATH FROM ALCOHOLIC POISONING. Mr. J. Waghorn and a jury yesterday inves- tigated the sad circumstances of the death of Alice Eosetta Davis, about 34 years of age, who was formerly a music teacher, and is said to have taught at several schools in Cheltenham. It was stated in the evidence that for two or three years past the deceased had given way to drink, and consequently her health had broken down. On Saturday she was found in bed after a bout of two or three days' drinking. A post-mortem examination showed that most of the organs were diseased. There was no sign of food in the stomach- in fact, the doctor stated that the stomach was in such a state as to be hardly able to retain food at all. The coating of the stomach had gone. The body showed signs of chronic alcoholic poisoning. Death was due to syncope, brought on by excessive drinking.— The jury returned a verdict to that effect.

TREASURE-SEEKING EXPEDITION. Halifax, Tuesday.—Two months ago the Nova Scotia schooner Hattie L. M. (commanded by Captain M'Leod) sailed from Halifax for Pata- gonia with a gold-seeking expedition on board. Ca-ptain M'Leod, who was wrecked in the Straits of Magellan, fifteen years ago, reported that he had iiecovered a place in that region, ich in gold, but, owing to the hostility of the natives, had been unable to secure the wealth he had found. Recently Captain M'Leod organised a syndicate, with a capital of $100,000, and chartered a vessel to go to Pata- gonia in search of the treasure. One of the promoters of the scheme was an English gen- tleman named Astley, or Ashley, Cooper. He joined the expedition, and news has been received here that he was drowned on the [ passage to Monte Video.—Reuter.

THE LONDON PRESS. Examples of Their Views To-day. BRIEF EXTRACTS FROM LEADING ARTICLES. Mr Chamberlain's Fiscal Policy To those who wi&h to hear his new gospel Mr. Cbamberiain will offer every opportunity. Liberals would be unworthy of themselves if those who turn to them for its refutation in favour of an older creed that is founded on incontestable principles and has stood the test of experience, should find them less eager or less well-equipped in its defence.—"Morning Leader." King of Servia Without the support of Russia and Austria the crown of Servia is not worth two months' purchase.—"Daily Mail." Hscal Heforms Much as the fiscal Pharisees may dislike the fact, the country is roused over this question, and will net be put to sleep again by the niiid anodynes and soothing luliabies with which the text-books, pamphlets, and leaflet4 of the Cobden Club are st<)red.

MARRIAGE OF MR ARTHUR B. MANNING. A marriage was solemnised at St. David's Church, Swansea, yesterday, between Mr. A-. B. Manning, tile well-known atnlete and a contributor to the Evening Express," and Miss Kate EDalewood, youngest daughter of Mr. P. Jialewood, of Aberdare. It will be remem- bered that a little time ago Mr. Manning an- nounced his retirement from the track through the columns of the Express." He was, undonbLed4, one of the many brilliant runners turned out from Wales, and the first Welshman to capture an Amateur Athletic Association championship, which is open to the world's amateurs. The race he won was the half-mile, but in addition to this he has also secured a standard medal in the one mile championship. He held the half mile and one mile championships of Wales several times successively, and also won the 44D yards' cham- pionship some years ago, when he defeated F. W. Cooper, of Bradford, and Harry Cullum. During a career of some twelve years on the track he has won upwards of LBOO worth of prizes. Mr. Manning has at heart the ad- vancement of Welsh amateur athletics, as Is evidenced in his articles in the Express," and his friends hope a place will be found for him on the local A.A.A., as they think he will be able to induce the officiate of that body to wake up.
