The latest rrfbve of the Russians in Man- churia has failed. It was probably com- menced for political rather than military reasons—with the usual result. Mean- while there are signs that trouble may yet brow between us and Russia, for 1 agencies are busy over there spreading reports that the present revolt is rengineered by British gold; and, un- happily, there are enthusiastic English- men ready to play into the hands of oar traducers by organising subscriptions in aid of the Russian revolters. I England would be foolish, indeed, to countenance such action. However much 1 we may sympathise with progressive movements, thofnct remains that it is, aft(,r all, Russia's business, not ours. We must not interfere in the internal affairs of other nations. Our absurd frenzy over Dreyfus did us no good in France, and we havo adopted a calmer, and, thereforo, wiser, attitude over the great Church p question now agitating our neighbours. saae thic £ ^pjpiies-to-RussLa^t JPe. must be careful not to do there what we would not like Russians to do in our own national affairs. Sir John Gorst stated his case for the underfed children last night with all his usual ability. He dwelt—of course—on the danger to the future of the country at large when any considerable propor- tion of its inhabitants lack the necessary stamina. This is a position on which all lovers of their country will agree. The point of disagreement lies, of course, in the sapping of parental responsibility, and here we are glad to know that Sir ,John is strong for compelling parents wherever possible to fulfil their obliga- tions. There is a strong conviction upon this matter in the country, and it will have to be dealt with by whoever attempts to press the underfeeding problem to a practical issue. No doubt the thoroughly representative committee appointed to consider the whole business so far as Cardiff is concerned will report at large on what needs to be done locally, and how far parents are unable to carry out their responsibilities to their offspring. A better committee could hardly have been selected than the one formed "yes- terday, and we feel sure that practical good will result from its deliberations. The retirement of Sir Francis Jeune from the presidency of the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division of the High Court is an event of some interest. Sir Francis has done his work admirably, and everyone will regret the ill-health that has led him to his present step. More human nature, probably, comes to the front in the divorce court than in any other tribunal. There dirty linen that should never see the light is publicly washed after a merciless fashion. How merciless we may judge from the fact that everything that transpires does not make its appearanco in print. The public has always manifested the keenest interest in everything connected with matrimonial trouble, whether pro- spective or retrospective. Our forefathers were the very same, and the magazines of a hundred-and-fifty years ago teem ^"ith crim. con. cases and such-liko scandals, embellished with copperplate portraits of the participants. Reports of these trials were often separately printed, and are now offered at high prices by booksellers, who, no doubt, find a demand for such highly-spiced narra- tions. The lines of the publican are not altogether laid in pleasant places these days, what with Revivalists and tem- perance reformers! Here is a summary, of some reforms that have been suggested for the not remote future: — "Xo seats in the public roomts of licensed houses. Only the front part of the houses to be used, and the front windows to be large so as to ensure a full view of the interior from the street. Each customer to sign his name, and the quantity he drinks, in a book to be kept for the pur- pose and inspected by the police. Poor publicans! They and the sinners are having rough times just now. I THE ONLY NEWPORT. I The Postmaster-General has been greatly worried by people complaining that their letters, if addressed only "N ew- port," are liable to be sent to any of the eleven Newports of the Postal Code beside the right one. He has accordingly issued a direction that all letters addressed "N ewport" alone are to be for- warded to the home of the invincible I Mustard-and-Blacking. Accordingly, a local bard thus proudly sings:— If Newport figure quite alone, And on the envelope appear No sign by which it may be known, Or any trace of Monmouthshire; It may to Salop be consigned, Or wander to the Isle of Wight, Or Barnstaple (if you don't mind), Or e'en find Berkeley heave in sight. At Launceston it may be tipped, Or yet at Fife on Scottish ground; By Pembrokeshire it may be snipped Or far in Tipperary found! Yorkshire may claim the flying sheet, Or Essex, for there is one there. Or Westport make the dan.ce complete, And in the round of Xewports chare. But now the flat has gone forth, The order of the P.M.G. Nor east nor west nor south nor north, Xo other Newport can there be When lone on the address 'tis thrsc- Onstrued, 'tis Newport-upon-Usk! We annoyed some worthy people dread- fully the other day by calling attention to the disorderly scenes that take place at some of the wakes. We drew our instances at that time from Cardiff. The evidence this time comes from Merthyr, where three men who had been partici- pating in a wake were fined for a brutal and unprovoked assault on a police-con- stable. It appeared in evidence that these fellows—two of whom bear a Welsh surname—had taken part in a wake, and the stipendiary said he wished he could do away with these orgies." If wakes were properly conducted—as Irish cor- respondents assure us is the case in the Green Isle—there would be little fault to find with them; but when they lead to drunkenness and blackguardism they disgrace the participants, dishonour the dead, and become a public nuisance that ought to be stamped out.

Mainly About People. I -do- General Kuroki is supremely happy, for fighting has begun again in Manchuria, and ¡ the Japanese leader is never so happy as when he is in the middle of a battle. He does not seem to feel the strain in the least. In spite of his 60 odd years, he would pais for 50. And he seems to be tireless in both field and council. To see him as he strolls up and down in front of his tent you would never imagine that ho was an old man on whose shoulders so great a weight was laid. He is of middle height—rather tall for a Japaneso —with a face bronzed to the colour of mahogany. His upper lip is covered by a close-cut grey moustache, which does not hide his determined mouth. The grey hair—what is left of it-is close-cropped, too. The dark eyes, under their thoughtfully-puckered brows, have often a humorous twinkle, but are always piercing. In dress he is not particular, for he is a battlefield, not a parade soldier. Usually he is to be found wearing a loose blue unifrom, without any marks of his rank upon it Under his a.rm, or on his head, a peaked cap, and, as often as not, his feet thrust into comfortable slippers. But whatever else may vary, he has always a cigar—unless the occa- sion is a ceremonious one. As for tho character of the man, apart from his mili- tary genius, it is summed up simply in 'dogged." Ho knows what he wants and how he wants to get it, and nothing turns him aside. Nor is there any false sentiment about him. lie can send mass after mass brave « troops to certain death without a quaver, for "he knows he must not sacrifice the whole for the part. He has literally n9t an emotion except his love for his profession and his love for his country. And. even then, they say he is only hafT-Japanese, and that his father was a Pole, who had to flee his country from Russian tyranny. Sir Ralph Pa.yne-Gallwey, of Thirkleby Park, whose second daughter is just engaged to be married is one of the best known figures in the shooting world of to-day, by reason, of his many excellent writing's on J properly educating the young idea. He will •take the greatest pains to help a yo-ung aliooter over the difficulties of a tyro, ajid had great pleasure in doing so, and is no mean performer himself, though he does not compare as a shot with his cousin, Lord Waisingham, who is generally acknow- ledged as among the very first flight, if not the beat of tiliem. Sir Ralph is also a very fine fisherman, and in reality knows even more about some branches of the gentle ait tha,n of shooting, though he has not put pen to paper on the Subject. Perhaps his great speciality haa been duck-sihootmg from a punt, or punt-gunning, for which he baa invented a great many of the best materials in use, including the gun, which can be j, almost entirely made in his machine-house at Thirkleby. Among other queer devices used for slaying game of sorts, Sir Ralph can throw a quoit-shaped missile (employed by j the natives of the West Indies long ago) for a great distance with some accuracy, a feat j which very few white men can perform at all.; He has, moreover, a splendid collection of stuffed fowl of all sorts. Thirkleby Park was inherited for life by Sir Ralph's mother, a co heiresa of Sir Robert Frankland, seventh baronet.; This lady is still alive, and is deseended from the Protector, Cromwell, whose grand-daughter married her ancestor, Sir, Thomas Frankland. Thirkleby was thus: I alienated from the Frankland title, which went to a younger branch, after descending with it for more than 200 years. The Payne- < Gallweys are, by male descent, Paynes of the Channel Islands, and Gallwey came from marriage with an heiress of that name, whoc-o soa, the first baronet of this line, took it in compliance with the will of a. relative. This gentleman's half-brother was created Lord Lavington, but had no issue, and the title expired. This is a story Sir Robert Ball, the noted astronomer, is fond of telling against him- self. Sir Robert was engaged to lecture on his own subject in a remote part of Ireland, but on his arrival at the little station he walked up and down the platform looking vainly for the expected conveyance. Finally, when all the other passengers had dispersed and driven off, a typically Irish servant came up to him with: "Maybe you're Sir Robert Ball?" On receiving an affirmative reply, the man broke out, apologetically-, Oh, sure, your honour, I am eorry to have kept you waiting, but I was told to look out for an "intellectual" looking gentleman!" Sir Robert thought under the Arcumstanocs it were better not to inquire too minutely as to what were the speaker's ideas as to intel- lectuality. One cannot help sympathising with Miss I Lilian Russell, who has shown that she places art just a. little before business, and I has declined to amuse Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's dinner-party in New York, by singing it over the soup-plates. It requires some courage to withstand the army of fashion, headed by Mrs. Fish, but Miss Russell has never lacked courage. She is strong physically, well-built, full of energy, and her nerves have never given her any trouble. Once she displayed extraordinary coolness in the most perilous position in the world-that is to say, on the ground, with a motor-car on top of her. Miss Russell had gone out for a drive in the motor-car with the chauffeur and a i friend. They were proceeding at the usual vertiginous speed when they perceived an old woman, deaf and immovable, with a, cart of vegetables in front of them. They swerved to the right, the car fell over a sloping bank, the chauffeur and the friend were hurled in different directions, and Miss Russell was pinned to the ground by the car. Instead of fainting or screaming, however, she waited until her friends had recovered, and then calmly gave them diroectiousa.s to how they should release her. I Much regret will be felt at the news of the illness of Mrs. Craigie ("John Oliver Hobbes"), which, however, may, it is hoped, only prove slight. Mrs. Craigie is an American by birth, and perhaps ore of the most successful of modern novelist-playwrights. It is only some eleven years since she first made her literary debut. She is a brilliant pianist and a hard worker, generally devoting the hours from breakfast until noon and from five till seven to her literary labours. Mrs. Craigie has not only written novels and plays, but has con- tributed articles to the reviews on different subjects, and one year was president of the Ruskin Society. It has been suggested that she is the only present-day writer who could finish the Beiaconsfield fragmentary novel, now running in the Times."

I THE WESTPHALIAIN €QAL STRIKE. PROMISES OF THE GOVERNMENT I REJECTED. At meetings held by the WwtphiLan strikers consideration was given to the suggestion of the Government that the strike should be terminated on the strength of a promise to introduce a Bill into the Prus-, £ .ian Diot reforming the conditions of which the strikers complain. At all the meetings resolutions were unanimously adopted refusing to accept the promises of the Government as a sufficient guarantee thlt reforms really would be introduced. Sub-1 scriptions for the strikers continue to pour t in. The sum of £ 20,000 has now been sub- scribed in Germany, France, Belgium, and Austria, in addition to subscriptions from English miners. The strikers are, un- doubtedly, in a. position to maintain the struggle for many weelis.-Contral News. Serious disorders in connection with the! coal strike took place on Monday near Dort-1 mund. The strikers attacked the non-1 strikers with the object of compelling them to cease work, and the police interfered for the protection of the non-strikers. This led to a free fight between the strikers and the police, who used their swords freely, a num- ber of the workmen being wounded.-CCntral Hrv.

RAILWAY RATES FRAUD. FALSE DESCRIPTION OF A CON- SIGNMENT. An important case affecting traders and railway companies was heard at Marylebone Police-court, London, on- Monday. A Spital- fields firm-E. Cocquerel and Sons (Limited)— was summoned by the Great Western Rail- way Company on three summonses for falsely describing certain goods, whereby they were charged at a lower rate than they would have been otherwise.—A fine of L2. with 30 guineas costa, was imposed on the first sum- mons, and JEl on each of the other two.

THE GOWERTON EXPLOSION. DISCOVERY OF THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER. Work was resumed at the Elba Colliery, Gowerton, the scene of the terrible disaster on Saturday week last, on Monday morning. It is stated that the discovery, beyond the possibility of doubt, of the cause of the explosion has givqn great satisfaction to all concerned, and that the search made by Mr. Robson. his Majesty's inspector of mines, and his assistants, together with the oolliery officials, has revealed a very serious viola- tion of the colliery rules. The nature of this disregard of regulations will be made known at the adjourned inquest on ,i!'eb- ruary 10.

M.P. CANDIDATES. MR. ALFRED DAVIES AND CARMARTHEN SEAT. When spoken to by one of our London i representatives on Monday, Mr. Alfred Davies, M.P. for the Carmarthen Boroughs, aid that he was in the constituency only a few days ago, and then explained his position. He had not read the reports of Saturday's meet- ing, and was very busy, so could not make any further statement. Our representative remarked that thema,in point was whether he would be governed by the proceedings at the meeting held on Saturday. In answer the hon. member replied, Well, now, I don't eay thingg and then draw back!" Mr. Thomas Terrell, K.C., in answer to a question by one of our London representa- tives, said that the only fault he had to find in connection with the meeting held on Saturday was that the newspaper reports were wrong. It was not a noisy meeting. On the contrary, it was orderly and rood- tempered." "As to the decision, do you accept it?" Of course, I do. I have already said tokat the matter is absolutely finished so far as I am concerned." MR. WILLIAMS ACCEPTS THE INVITATION. Mr. Llewelyn Williams, when seen on the subject by our London representative, said, "The decision was a surprise to me, because when I was approached on the subject by various people in Llanelly- and Carmarthen, so long as a year ago, I invariably refused to allow them to submit my name for nomination. I did not wish to be mixed up with the local troubles and difficulties. No one was more surprised than myself a fortnight ago to learn that my name was put forward, and I find upon inquiry tixait the nomination had been made by gentlemen whom I did not know at the time." In answer to a question as to whether he would accept the decision and contest the constituency, Mr. Llewelyn Williams replied, Of course, I accept the invitation, and I intend to fight th-e constituency, if the selec- tion is confirmed, against all comers." In the course of a short chat with our representative, Mr. Williams said that he and Mr. Terrell had agreed beforehand that, whatever the decision, it would be accepted by them. In the course of his preparations for the coming contest Mr. Williams has received the assurance of Mr. Lloyd-George, M.P., and also of Mr. Terrell, K.C., that those gentlemen will visit the constituency and take part in the meetings to be held there in support of Mr. Williams's candida- ture. Mr. Williams added that he had already received a large number of messages congratulating him upon the result of Satur- day's meeting. A

FOUND HANGING IN A I CELLAR. BRECON LANDLORD'S ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. At Brecon on Monday William Harris, land- lord of the Bull's Head Inn, was charged with attempting to commit suicide on Friday, the 27th of January. Margaret Harries, prisoner's wife, stated that about mid-day on Friday she had a conversa- tion with her husband, who soon afterwards wished her good-bye," and left the room. He went down the cellar and she followed him. She found her hu&band hanging with a piece of cord round his neck. She ran for assistance and Mr. Jones, of the Star Inn, came and cut the prisoner down. Her hus- hand had been strange in his manner for some time, and when his health failed him he would say that he was tired of his life. Mr. Lewis Williams: Had he been drinking very much previously? k Witness: He has not been without it, being in a public-house. Has he had delirium tremens?—I think it is his health more than anything. That is the rea.son why we came to Brecon. Prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he had been drinking more than usual during the last few weeks and not eating as he ought to have done. Mr. Lewis Williams: Then you attribute your conduct to drink? Prisoner Yes. The magistrates retired, and, on returning into court, the Chairman (Alderman Lewis Williams) said: The bench are unanimously of opinion that this is a very serious charge. It was a most deliberate attempt to take away your life, and th bench would be wanting in the discharge of their duty if they did not send the case for trial. You will be committed to stand your trial at the next quarter sessions.

SWANSEA HOTEL INCIDENT POLICEMAN SENT FOR BY AN EX- MAYOR. At Swansea on Monday Thomas Sherwell, of t Oakfield-street, was summoned for being drunk and refusing to quit the Cameron Arms Hotel, on January 18. Mr. Leyson defended.—Police-constable William. said he was called to the house in private clothes, and found defendant drunk and insulting the customers. He refused to leave for any police- man, and witness had to eject him.—Mr. L-e- alleged that the prosecution had been engineered by Mr. H. A. Chapman, High- street, who evidently had given the constable the instructions to eject defendant owing to a quarrel he had with him.-Mis.s Phillips, barmaid, said there were words between the defendant and Mr. Chapman about some photographs, and Mr. Chapman got up hastily and left, and three or four minutes afterwards a policeman oajne in. There was nothing out of the way about Mr. Sherwell's conr,luct.-Sevaral witnesses were called by defendant to testify that defendant was sober, and the bench dismissed the case.

TREHERBERT LICENSEE FINED. At Ystrad Police-court on Monday (before Mr. J. Ignatius Williams stipendiary; Mr. D. W. Davie.s, and Mr. E. H. I>avies) Ernest John Charles, landlord of the Stuart Hotel, rre- herberrt, was charged with, selling intoxi- cating liquors during prohibited hours, ^tr. W. P. Nioholas defended. Police-constable Davies said he saw a light in the bar of the public-house at 1.20 a.m. on the 12th inst. He mounted the winaow- sill and saw the landlord and two other men, who had drinks in front of them. A man, named George Evans, who was drunk, had money in his hands and placed it on the counter. The conversation between the men in the bar turned upon a young actress, whom, it was alleged, Evans had taken for a walk between midnight and one o'clock. Ha.nding a piece of paper to the bench, the constable said, "This is part of the conver- sation." The Stipendiary (to Mr. Nicholas): Do you want to see it? Mr. W. P. Nicholas: No; I don't know thai it has anything to do with the charge of drunkenness. The Stipendiary: There is no novelty about it. It is not int-e.reat.ing. (Laughter.) The witness further added that Evans was staggering about in the passage when he entered. He had previously seen Evans wait- ing for an actress outside the theatre, and drinking from a bottle. Mr. Nicholas: Waiting by the "Green- room door. (Laughter.) The defence was that Evans was called in by the landlord, and arrangements were made for him to stay at the hotel during the night. He was given two bottles of stout and some supper. Evans was not under the influence of drink. A fine of .62 and costs was imposed.

BROTHERS QUARRELI -M INQUIRY INTO THE LLANDAF-F TRAGEDY. I Coroner's Jury Return an Open Verdict. ———— Mr. E. B. Reece, coroner, held an inquest at the Llandaff Police-station yesterday after- noon on the body of William Harris, which was found in the Canal Lock at Llandaff Yard on Friday night last. Mr. Lewis Morgan, solid- tor, Cardiff, appeared for Frederick Harris, Angtesey-street, Canton, who is now in cus- tody, charged with causing the death of his brother. Arthur Harris, a private in the Royal Marine Light Infantry, and residing at present at 22, Anglesey-street, Canton, said that the deceased, William Harris, was his brother. The latter was 29 years of age. He was a stoker in the employ of the Taff Vale Railway Company. He was with the deceased and his other brother Frederick at Llandaff Yard last Friday evening. They visited the Cow and Snuffers Inn at about half-past seven. They subsequently visited the Pine- apple, and afterwards returned again to the Cow and Snuffers. They finally left the latter plaoo a few minutes before eleven o'clock. The Coroner: Were your brothers the worse for drink? j Witness: Yes, sir, they were the worse for drink. And were you sober?—I was not quite sober, sir. Did any row occur between you?-Not until we got pass the Gospel Chapel. Who were quarrelling—all three of you?- They were quarrelling, and I tried to separate them. Witness added that his brother William went towards some stables and Frederick kept with him, and they had a fight. Did anyone separate you?—Mr. Davey, the 'busman, stopped us. What then happened?—I came home with Mi*. Davey. Where did Frederick go?—We left him near the chapel. And that is all you know about it?-Yes, sir. Did. you hear that your brother was found in the canal that night?—A reporter told me so on Saturday morning. Oh, not that night?—No, sir. Were William and Frederick friendly before the quarrel began?—Yes, sir; we were all happy together. Asked why they quarrelled, witness said he had endeavoured to persuade Frederick not to have some whisky in the Cow and Snuffers. By Mr. Lewis Morgan: "William went in the direction of the canal after leaving them. STRUGGLING ON THE GROUND. William Davey, 'bus driver, Penarth-road, Cardiff, spoke to seeing the three brothers on Friday night at Liajadaff Yard at about 11.20. The Coroner: Were they quarrelling? Witness: They were on the ground struggling, but not striking blows. Were they drunk?—Yes, sir, but not so bad. I have seen many worse. Did you separate them?—Yes, sir; and the soldier and Fred began to fight a William went away somewhere. He disappeared?—Yes, sir; I could not say which way he went. Whait became of Frederick then?—I picked him up, and took Arthur home, and Left Frederick there by himself. You and Arthur walked towards Llandaff? -Yes, sir. Then when you picked up all the three neither appeared much hurt?—No, sir. Was either of them Meeding?—No. sir, but there was a small scar on Frederick's nose'j He sa.id Arthur had struck him with a stick. Frederick had got hw coat a.nd waistcoat off. Had the others got their coats off?-No, sir. How long a time elapsed, do you thank, between the time William disappeared and the time wthen you and Arthur started to wa.lk to Cardiff, leaving Frederick standing in the road?—About eight minutes, air. How far is it from the plsuoe where theee young fellows were fighting and the look ?— I I could not say, eir. Inspwtor Nott: It is about !CD yards, sir. Ralph Smith, Llandaff, testined to witness- ing the fight between two of the brothers. Ho aisabsted a man, whom he did not know, to separate them. He did not know which of the brothers were fighting. Afterwards he walked on for about twenty yards till he heard a row behind him. He stopped for two or three minutes, and then a man came towards him from the direction of the row. He had some blood marks on his face, which he was wip- ing." He said, They've been on to me." He was inclined to be communicative, but wit- I ness did not wish to talk to him, and the man walked on for about a dozen yards towards the Cow and Snuffers. Witness went home, and last saw him about two or three I yards from the canal bridge. The Coroner: Would you know him again? —No, sir. And you cannot cay whether he was one of the men you separated ?—No, sir. Have you seen the body?—No sir but I could not identify him. Was he drunk?—He was in an excited state, but he was walking straight. Inspector Nott said it was the opinion of the police that the man seen by Smith was the deceased and witness added that the man had his coat on at the time while Inspector Nott explained that Frederick Harris's ocat was found after his arrest. Mr. Lewis Morgan (to Mr. Smith): You only raw one man going towards the canal? Witness: Yes, sir; only one man. BODY FOUND IN THE CANAL. John Hughes, lock-gateman, said he went into the house to go to bed juet before 11.30, previous to which he had heard no row. When he got upstairs he heard a groan. Ho called from the window, Is any- body there?" Directly after he heard a splash like a man falling into the water. He desoended immediately, as he came to the conclusion that there was some- body in the water. When he reached the bank he shouted, but got no answer, and went for a constable. Be also called out Mr. Thomas, from the Cow and Snuffers, They lowered the waiter in the lock, and by using gra,ppling irons recovered the body almost at once- The Coroner: Then you herurd no fighting af. all? Witness: No, sir; land there are no marks on the bank there. Mr. Lewia Morgan Is there anything divid- ing the side of the roa-d from the lock?—No, sir. And anybody could walk in?—Yes, air. Aotlng^ergeant Alfred Brioe corroborated the last witness, He searched the body after recovering it from the water, and found that the deceased's watch had etopped at 11.30. Dr. Arthur, Llandaff, spoke to examining the body at the mortuary soon after it was brought there. There were slight abrasions on the face, but no other external marks of injury. Tly internal org a,n a were h-ealthy. He was satisfied that death resulted from drowning. The Coroner pointed out that there was no evidence against Frederick Harris, and eug- gest-ed that the best course for the jury to pursue would be to return an open verdict. It might have been that William Harris waJked, in his drunken state, into the canal. THE VERDICT. The jury accordingly returned an open verdict, that deceased was "found drowned," and that there was no evidence to show how he got into the water. Dr. Arthur complained of the dangerous nature of the spot at which the fatality occurred. He thought the light there should not be extinguished so early at night. The jury suggested that a gate should be placed at the spot. The Coroner eaid lie woul-u write to tho Cardiff Railway Company conveying the opinion of the jury.

UNDERFEDGHILDREN I SCHOLARS UNFIT TO RECEIVE I INSTRUCTION. Speech by Sir John G-orst at Cardiff. Sir John Gorst continued his campaign on 1 behalf of underfed children in elementary schools by addressing a meeting in the Assembly-room of the Cardiff Town-hall on Monday evening. There was a fairly large audience, principally composed of people interested professionally and in other ways. Sir John Gorst said this subject was one of the most urgent and important of the public questions of the day. It had long been j known to everyone connected with the cle- 'I mentary schools that there were grave j grounds for believing that the physical con- dition of the children attending those schools I was far from satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) A Thoyal Commission, after pursuing an inquiry for the United Kingdom, reported that in I many English schools a great number of children were totally unfit, on account of their physical condition, to go through the work of the schools. The worst school they found was at Lambeth, where no less than 90 per cent. of the phildren were unfit to receive instruction, and that all the other causes which contributed to I that were insignificant and negligible compared with one only, and that was improper nutrition of the children. It was difficult to compute the percentage of underfed children all over the country. It i. was so largely a, matter of opinion, because the underfed shaded away from the properly fed by imperceptible stages. Experts, how-; ever, placed it at 15 or 16 per cent; at any rate, it was a fact that a. large percentage of school children grew up perfectly unfit to earn their living, and grew up to be inmates of our infirmaries, hospitals, and asylums. The question might be looked upon purely as an economic question, and a great number of people who looked upon it in that way at the present moment at once said it would cost too much. They looked only at the immediate result, and claimed that it would increase the poor-rate, which was already burdensome enough. He was not sure that it would at all, and he instanced the experience of a Lon- don committee for the feeding of hungry I children in a school in Seven Dials, and they found after some time that where they had been spending £40 per annum on feeding alone, they were spending P,6 only on both feeding and clothing, because they had brought their responsibility home to the -ty h-ome to the parents, and parents were doing their duty who had never done it before. It must be remembered, too, that those children who were neglected not only did not contribute to the general wealth of the country, but they had to be maintained a,t the public expense in various institutions. In a school for defective children in London it had..been found that children who had suf- fered from improper nutrition were in such an improved state that in fifteen months they oould bo drafted back to the elementary schools. Then, looking at it from the national and Imperial point of view, they had to remember that these starving children were the people of the future, on whom the I strength and greatness of both our nation and our Empire were to depend. A very impor- tant side of the question was the educational side. They were all very zealous for educa- tion in the United Kingdom, and particularly in Wales. They had a very expensive school system, on which they spent more than 30 millions a year in order to rear up a skilful and intelligent people. Yet hunger in the school was absolutely ruining their school system. They could not make these hungry children learn, and it was cruelty to attempt to make them learn. Then he came to the last and he thought the strongest point of view. It had already been decided by the Court of Appeal that. children had a right to I bo supported by the State. Ee suggested that all children in schools should be medi- cally examined periodically, and a committee should be appointed to inquire into the. cir- cumstances of children who were found to be in an unsatisfactory condition. He believed that this work could be done largely by volunteers, and mentioned that such work had been done in Manchester very efficiently by a committee of 70 or 30 ladies. In these cases the parents could be divided into three clasgeH1) those who could properly feed their children, but neglected to do so; (2) those, who desired to foed their children, but failed through ignorance; (3) those who desired to feed their children, but failed through poverty. Having suggested that a suitable meal for school children might be provided at a cost of ld. or lid. per head, he thought that the problem might find a, practical solution in a short and simple Bill giving to education committees the powers which boards of I guardians already possessed. Alderman John Jenkins moved— That a representative committee be formed to consider the problem of underfed children in Cardiff, with power to convene another public meeting to receive its report. That the committee be constituted as follows— Not more than three representatives from each of the following public bodies, viz., the town council, chamber of commerce, educa/- tion authority, board of guardians, Trades Council, Friendly Societies council, educa- tion society, the Cardiff National Union of Teachers, and the Co-operative Society; and that the committee thus formed shall have power to co-opt if found necessary. That the organising sub-committee for to-night's meeting, consisting of the mayor, Mr. T. M. Heywood (chamber of commerce), Mr. J. Graham (chairman of the Trades' Council), Mr. C. Evans (Friendly Societies), and Mrs. Mackenzie (hon. secretary), continue in office until the formation of the permanent com- mittee, in order to e-end notices to the various public bodies concerned and to summon the first meeting of representatives. Mr. J. Graham (president of the Trades Council) seconded, and the resolution was carried. On the motion of Principal Griffiths a vote of thanks was passed to Sir John Jorst, and a similar vote was also accorded the chair- man.

CARDIFF RAILWAYMEN'S MEETING A meeting of Greait Western Railway goods guards, brakesmen, shunters, and signalmen was held at the Oddfellows'-h.all, Cardiff. Bro. Chapman presided. Bro. Wilcox (signalmen's delegate) gave a report of the interview with the board of directors, and read the reply cf the general manager to their memorial asking for an increase of wages. A resolution was passed expressing dissatisfaction at the replies received, and instructing the representatives to endeavour to have the whole of the matters in dispute referred to arbitration under the powers of the Conciliation Act, 1896. It was aLso decided that it be an instruc- tion to the representatives at the forthcom- ing conference at Newport to merge the goods guards., brakesmen, shunters, and signalmen's movements into one effort, with 0. hope that thus a start may be made to combine all grades into one.

A FERNDALE FIGHTI, I RESULTS IN A COLLIER'S] DEATH. An Open Verdict Returned by the I Jury. An inquest was held at Ferndale Polie-e- station on Monday concerning the death of David Llewellyn, a collier (27), of 9, Tudor- street, Fernda.1e, who had been employed as a. labourer a.t the gasworks. On Saturday night, as reported, deceased took part in a row in a public-house, and a fight subse- quently took place, which, it was alleged, resulted in has death. Thomas Thomas, a collier, al)ou t 30 years of age, of 49, Fountain- street, was arrested on a charge of causing Llewellyn's death, and on Saturday he was remanded at an occasional court. Accused was now represented by Mr. Horatio A. Hughes, eolicitor, Fenidale. Evidence of identification having been given by Thomas Llewellyn, of 104, Duffryn- etreet, a brother of deceased, the same wit- ness said that on Saturday night he heard a bother in the Commercial Hotel between his brother and George Harries. The latter knocked witness down and jumped on him. Harries said he would do the same to all of his family. Deceased told him to start with 11Ln first. They then went out of the hotel. In- cross-examination witness said he did not see his brother struck when he was in the hotel. George Rees, collier, 6, High-street, said that he was in the Commercial on Saturday night and saw the bother between Edward Harries and Thomas Llewellyn. That would be about 10.45. David Llewellyn took no part. William David Harries and his brother went out. The others followed, and David Llewel- lyn and Edward Harries stood up to each other to fight, David asking Harries in Welsh, "Are you willing?" and he said "You can venture your head if you are willing,. I am." They then started to fight. Striking at the same time, both fell on the ground. Edward Harries was on the pave- ment, and David Llewellyn on the road. They fell, got up, and fought again, both again falling on the pavement. They again rose and had another turn, Harries being knocked down. He then gave in. William D. Harries and William D. Llewel- lyn were fighting at the same time. Witness could not say which had the better of this encounter, as he was watching the other fight. They were in the middle of the road. This was after the other fight, and as Edward Harries had gone away David Llewellyn put his brother on one side and offered to fight William David Harries, but he was not will- ing, saving it was not fair, as there were two to one. Thomas Thomas then appeared on the pcene, and asked William D. Harries "Who is he? and soon after struck David Llewellyn in the face two or three blows, Llewellyn falling on the ground. The fight then became general. The Coroner: They seemed to have a tidy evening there! Witness knew the parties pretty well, but was not aware that there was any bad blood between them. Llewellyn was sober. FELL DOUBLED UP. William Davies, haulier, stated that he had seen Thomas strike the deceased, who fell to the ground. He only saw one blow. He, too, knew of no bad blood between the parties. Cross-examined, the witness said that there was a crowd when Thomas struck tIlE deceased, who did not strike him back. Tht witness had no ill-feeling towards the deceased, and certainly did not strike him. Asked whether he fell forward or back- ward, witness said he fell forward, but not to the ground. He was doubled up. John Price, another witness, gave evidence of having seen Thomas strike the deceased. As a result of the blow Llewellyn twisted round and fell on his head towards a grating. Witness picked him up and asked him to pull himself together and go home before the policeman saw him. Llewellyn was then bleeding from the fore- head and went home alone. A crowd had gathered, and witness shouted, There's a Revivalist for you coming out and striking people on the sly." Replying t- Mr. Phillips, witn-esa efvid that Llewellyn and Harries when fighting fell on the pavement and not against an adjoining house. Alfred Peters, collier, stated that after Thomas struck tho blow Llewellyn fell with a thud on lrie head. The blow was on the jaw. Both men were sober. The Coroner: Was Llewellyn a quarrelsome man?—No, sir. The Coroner: He seemed rather inclined to fight with everybody that fcight. Miria,m Barnett, a widowtd sister of the deceased, said that when he came home on Saturday night the blood was streaming down his face from a cut on his forehead and another under his eye, the first being the bigger. She bathed him, and the Tiext morn- ing he complained of a pain in his head, a.nd could only see with one' eye. She had never seen the deceased drunk. Police-constable Kelly stated that when he reached the scene of the fight, he found Thomas in his shirt sleeves in a very excited condition. He refused to give his name, and he took him to the police-station on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. Polic<vsergoa nt Williams said that when arrested on a charge of having caused fri death of Llewellyn by striking him with his fist, prisoner replied, "I do not say that I struck him down there, bec,ause why should I strike him? He never did anything to me." Dr. Parry, J-P., deposed to having seen deceased a.bout 11.30 on Monday morning after the fight, and found him in a eemi-con- soious stats. He had difficulty in getting anything from him, and was told that on the previous day he was found lying- in bed and that nothing could be got from him. Having described the wounda, the doctor gavo it as his opinion that death was due to acute meningitis. liavin.- summml up, t?li4D jury The Coroner having summed up, th? jury retired to consider their verdid. The jury returned an open verdict, accord- ing to the medical evidence.

Pentre P.O. Clerk. I ACCUSED OF STEALING A POSTAL ORDER, I A case in which a. considerable amonnt of local interest was evinced was heard at Ystrad Police-court on Monday, when Richard John Joshua,, until recently employed as a clerk at the Pentre Post-office, was charged with stealing a letter containing a postal order, value 4s. Mr. G. S. Goodfellow, Caer- philly, appeared to prosecute on behalf of the  P08tmastr.General, and Mr. W. P. Nicholas i defended. Mr. Goodfellow said that on the 11th of April a Mrs. Tabitha. Williams purchased a postal order for 4s. from the Llewellyn-street Post-office, Pentre, inserted it in an envelope directed to the County-court Office, Ystrad, and placed it in the box at Llewellyn-straet. In due course the letter was taken to Pentre Post-office, where it would be sorted. Joshua was employed as an assistant at the Pentre office, and would not have been on duty when the letter arrived, but on the day in question defendant had collected some telephone rates, and remained at the office to pay them in. Defendant frequently went to the post-office when off duty, and had access to the sorting- room. Reociving no receipt for the money, Mrs. Williams llladoe inquiries at the post- office, and from investigations which the authoritios made it was ascertained that the order was sent to Messrs. Samuel, jewellers, Manchester, with others, to pay for a necklace, the orders being accompanied by an order form signed "L. James." A few days later a packet arrived at the Pentre Post-office, and was handed to the defendant, who signed the record book. When spoken to he said he handed the packet over the counter to a man who called- for it. This person had previously asked him to fill in an order form to Messrs. Samuels. The writing on the order was dis- guised, but the defendant admitted that it was his. When the defendant's houso was searched a. catalogue, from Messrs. Samuel with an order form torn out was found in a cupboard. Rvideoce was given. Defendant, who pleaded "Not guilty," and reserved his defence, was committed for trial at the assizes. A further charge of stealing a, postal order for 7s. 6d. was preferred against Joshua. A number of witnesses were called, and tho defendant was committed for trial at the assizes, bail being allowed.

IA. MARKED HOUSE. -'0- j CARDIFF POLICE FAIL TO PROVE A CHARGE. I A nice and delicate point was involved in a case which the ex-mayor (Alderman John I Jenkins) and Mr. Joseph Ramsdale were called upon to determine at Cardiff Police- court on Monday. There was arrayed oa one side Policc-constables George Young and Welsher, who for a long time have been told off to mark houses suspected. of an alleged immoral taint; whilst, on tho other hand, a husband and wife stood up for their rights as moral and honest people, and in that fight they were supported by Mr. Joseph Henry Juntas, the advocate for the defence. It was a house in Mark-street this time that was marked, and after the hearing the magis- trates spent a lot of time in deliberating. before deciding for the person charged, and against the police. The defendant was George Henry Tye. 50, who ou Saturday pleaded guilty; but Mr. J. H. Jones (instructed by the wife) came into court afterwards and withdrew the plea, which had been advanced under a miscon- ception. No. 3, Mark-street, Riverside, the house Tye was alleged to have improperly kept. He is a painter and decorator, and, with his wife, cams from London to Cardiff some time ago. Police- const,able Young (whose evidence was corro- borated in main particulars by Welshcr) not only brought accusations against the house in the light of certain visits paid to it, but said defendant's wife was not abdve suspicion. Mr. Joseph Henry Jones, for the defence, condemned the police tendency to glibly call women by an opprobrious name upon the flimsiest of pretexts. The ex-Mayor, in the end, said they found there was in the case a great deal of doubt, the benefit of which they gave to defendant. Constables, in these cases, were charged with serious obligations and they had to give evi- dence under cross-examination by most expert, solicitors. He agreed that so far as the polioe were concerned as a whole, they did their duty extraordinarily well. He did not, indeed, know of any case in his experience in which t,hey had, on compiling evidence, exceeded their duty. Perhaps, in this case they harl, he did not say wilfully, overstepped the bounds of prudence, and overstrained the case. The prisoner would be discharged.

I Mail Cart Stopped I BY A NEWPORT CONSTABLE I At Newport Police-court on Monday Mr. E. GilLard, of Cardiff, the mail-cart contractor, was summoned for causing a horse' to be cruelly ill-treated, and George Wilson, his employe, was summoned in respect of the actual cruelty. Mr. Harold Lloyd appeared for the defence. The mail parcels from London are made up in one big consignment, which reaches Cardiff by the down mail from Paddington at 9.15, due at Cardiff at 2.20. They a.re then taken out, and the Newport parcels are driven back to Newport. Mr. Harold Lloyd subjected Police-constable Va.tch.er, who started that he had been in a. cavalry regiment for seven years, to a severe cross-examination. The constable said that he stopped an iron-grey mare in Cardiff-road on the 13th inst. On making an examina- tion, he found that the mare was in rather a low condition. The horse had a. blood-raw wound on the off shoulder, a sore on the I' off pin bone, and also a &and crack, and was very lame in the off hind leg. She was allowed to go on her journey on condi- tion that silie was properly cared for and driven at a steady pace. Mr. Harold Lloyd asked the officer why i*o BJloncd line Ironse to go on. an4 the coa- stable replied that he thought it the best, in order not. to dehy the mail. A few d:\vs later the witness went to Grange Lowu, Cardiff, in order to point the horse out to Inspector Johnson, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animate, but from the evidence of the prosecution the same horse was not shown. Witness said that the horse then shown had a coat, and the other was clipped, and also that the horse in Cardiff was in a much better condi- tion. Mr. Harold Lloyd then asked witness if he could suggest any reason for showing the wrong horse, and in answer he said he would suggest nothing. Mr. Evans, veterinary surgeon, Cardiff, said it was quite possible for the horse to havo become lame suddenly and soon recovered. The defendant Wilson said there were no marks, only old ones, and that there were pads in the collar to prevent it from chafing the wounds. The Bench, after a short absence, found that the case was proved against Wilson, and fined him 40s. The owner was then charged with allowing the horse to be worked, but Mr. Lloyd In this case urged that defendant wa,3 not respon- sible, as he had given strict instructions that if anything was wrong with the horses he was to be notified of the matter immediately. It was pointed out that Mr. Gillard was the owner of nearly 50 horses, and that he em- ployed stablemen to look after them. The Bench dismissed this charge.

SHEEP WORRYING Coaltrimmer Ordered to Pay Dai-nagesb At Barry Police-court an Monday Llewellyn Williams, Westra, Dinas Powis, claimed t3 from John Langford, coaltrimmer, Cadoxton, damage done by the defendant's dogs worry- ing two sheep. Mr. W. H. Lewis, solicitor, Cardiff, appeared for the claimant, and Mr. A. Kershaw (for Mr. A. Jackson, solicitor, Barry Dock) defended. Williams stated that he was in one of his fields on Sunday afternoon, the 15th inst., when he saw two St. Ilernard dogs worrying one of his sheep. Ho ran down the field. and he found one sheep lying dead and another dying. The dogs were caught, and the police sent for. About 8.30 the same night defendant came to him and identified the dogs 'as his property. On the following Monday defendant promised to pay £ 6 a,1 ta.k,e the carcases away, but he did not keep his promise. Mr. Kershaw stated that Langford's mother was lying dead, and at present tihe defendant was in hard straits. The Bench ordered defendant to pay 25 damages and costs within a fortnight.

ENGINE DRIVER IN FLAMES, Startling Scene on tl-> Raika>' An engine was seen passing through Willes- den Green Station on Monday at the rati* of about 30 miles Per hour, the driver of which had his clothes on fire. He seemed- to be clambering over the engine in order tl) get into the water tank. The engine ran past the signals, but was eventually pulle. up. Several men at cnce rushed up with the object of putting out the flames. By this time the driver's clothes, beard, and hair were all on fire. He was quickly taken illt,) the statio-n-master's office and his clothes removed. It seems that when he was drawing steam the flames burst out from the furnace, igniting his oily clothes. The driver, whose name is Griffon, is rather an elderly man. # The stoker was also burned in trying to extinguish the flames. A doctor was called, and the injuries are of a very severe character.
