The public are re-gaining confidence, and the streets are resuming their normal aspect. At Torre Aununziata ordinary work is being resumed, and in various districts refugees ars returning to their homes without anxLety. King Victor Emmanuel left for Torre ddil Greco and Regina at eight o'clock this morn- ing on a torpedo-boat. The Queen went out in a motor-car to visit the victims of the volcanic eruptiou in the hospitals. Friday Evening. The King is still visiting the victims of the disasters, and grected everywhere with en uhusiaom. Froiessor Mattucci telegraphs from the Observatory that the situation has improved, and he has hopes that everything will be Quiet in two or three days. H ear-admiral Manceron has called OIl the pTet to convey the condolences of the French Government, and has handed over a sum of 15,000 francs for the relief of the people who have suffered through the erup- tion.

Hedworth Lamb ton. -lte:J4t.r. JTURIN, Friday. A party of 110 Englishmen has passed through here going to see the eruption. Two hundred more are expected on Tuesday.— Reuter. ROME, Friday Night. As a consequence of the wind having changed its direction, the rain of ashes from Vesuvius is now falling in the neighbour- hood of Casoria. To-day a large number of people have been able to asoend the volcano, and considerable interest has been caused by the marked ohange in the appearance of the crater, which id now fully three times its former size. Throughout the whole dura- tion of the disaster several little bancus of the inhabitants of houses in the direct vicinity of the volcano have been taking refuge in caves, keeping themselves alive by eat in? root., and herbs. Messrs. Cook have engaged a. number of workmen to restore the funioular railway to ,Ve<suviu;i, as they are fully expecting a rush of English and American tourists now that; the eruption is subsiding. It is hoped to find that the line is not seriously damaged, although it is in places deeply covered with aohes. In an interview to-day Signor Mattucu, director of the Vesuvius Observatory, stated that thousands of birds had flown into the observatory in a famished condition, and in the district affected by the eruption the bodies of innumerable swallows had been found. j Interviewed to-day, Professor Ricco, direc- tor of thj observatory at Catania, stated that Etna and Strom boli were absolutely calm, Sstromboii, indeed, appearing to be quite extinct. Last night the convicts in the chief prison, revolted in sympathy with the general feel- ing of panic. A strong body of troops there- upon escorted them to the warships in the port, where they remain. According to dispatchce in the Rome news- papers, the King during his last visit to Ottajano saw a. priest standing in the street, and called him to the Royal pjee-ence. Were you here at the moment of the great cat-as- trophe?" asked his Majesty. "No, sir," replied the priest; I managed to escape." "Then," said the King, "I do not wish to have anything more to say to a priest who has deserted his manifest duty." The work of demolishing unsafe buildings continues without intermission, and in the course oT it further bodies of victims are constantly being uuovrthed.-C-entral News.

Lost on the River Bank BURIED UP TO THE NECK IN MUD An elderly woman dwelling in the Ternes district, Paris, has just had a meet extra- ordinary experience, and she now lies in the Bcaujou hospital more dead than alive- indeed, she is almost in a- state of delirium produced by terror. Her escape (writes, the Paris correspondent of the "Daily Tele- graph ") has been marvellous, and is due rather to happy chance than to anything else, as but for the fact that two residents at Courbevoie happened to be in her neigh- bourhood at the early hour of five in the morning she. must inevitably have perished in an awful manner, sinking in the mud of the Seine, in which ehe had become engulfed until only her neck and head were visible abov-e it. The two men who saved the poor ¡ woman were on their way to their daily toil, when they heard groans emanating from the wet soil below the quay along which they were walking. They hurried to the bank, and after looking about them for a while they caught sight of a haggard face, whence low cries proceeded. Several policemen were passing at the time, and they assisted in the work of rescue. Spades and ropes were called into requisition, but it took upwards j of half an hour to free the poor creature from the mud into which she had sunk. A litter was brought, and she was conveyed to the nearest relief station, where she was carefully tended, and at last she had re- gained sufficieut strength to give an account of her iuviul adventure. She had started alone for C'ourbevoie on the previous even- ing, and when she ha,d reached the river bank had lost her way in the darkness, which had in the meanwhile come on. The more she tried to get back on to the usual path the worse had her position become. In the course of her wandering? she plunged right inW the thick mud, and every effort to ret'irn to firm ground proved vain. From eieht o'clock that evening until five on the following morning she had gradually sunk lower and lower. with, a lingering death before her all the time.

I A Famous Scholar. i j DEATH OF CR RICHARD GARNET I Dr. Richard Garnett, C.B., died at his Hampstead residence at five o'clock on Good Friday morning from internal hemorrhage. aged 71 years. Deceased was foj many years connected with the British Mcscum, having been an assistant in the library in 1851, superinten- dent of the reading-room in 1875, and keeper of the printed books from 1890 to 189. IT-o was the author of a, large number of publi- cations, including works dealing with the lives of Carlyle, Emerson, and Milton. Dr. Garnett contributed to the "Envyclapeedis Britannic a," and wa.s editor of the Interno- tional Library of Famous Literature. He had been president of the Library Associa- tion. the Modern Language Association, and the Bibliographical Society, and was vice- president of the Royal Society of Literature, and also a member of the Dante Society. lhe late Dr. Garnett took a prominent part in the annual conference of the Library Association held in Cardiff in the autumn of 1835, and some of hig speeches on that occasion created a notable impression. One memorable occasion was tho lavish enter- tainment oi the members by the late Marquess of Bute at Caerphilly Castle, when Dr. Garnett gave an address distinguished for its learning and high literary merit. He was on the occasion of that visit the guest of Mr. Louis Tyler, Oathedral-road, Cardiff. Among those who have special ground for deploring the death of Dr. Garnett is Mr. J. Ballinger, the Cardiff City Librarian, with whom the deceased had been for years on terms of intimate friendship, and between whom there had been a considerable degree of co-operation in matters appertaining io library development. Mr. Ballinger, in an interview with a, representative Cf the "Western Mail" dsalfcfed that he had heard of the death with much sorrow, as it involved the loss of a valued personal friend. He never went to London without visiting Dr. Garnett, and found him the pleasantest and most interesting of companions. Dr. Garnett took a great interest in the prosperity of the Cardiff Free Library, with which he was very familiar, and upon which, he looked with a very kindly eye He also took a very keen interest in the children's department of library work in Cardiff, carried on at the schools, and now under the education com- mittee. He looked upon it as one of the mcst important developments of library work. He was, without doubt, the most distinguished librallian of the nineteenth century. In addi- tion to his eminence as a man of letters, his knowledge of English literature was pro- found, and he was frequently consulted even by learned men. Mr. Ballinger related that he visited Dr. Garnett at the latter's house in the autumn, of last year, and was informed that the doctor was sometimes besieged by visitors from America, who came out of regard for his great learning', and juat to look at him.

BURGLARY AT BRITON FERRY. Between the hours of ten o'clock on Thursday night and six on Friday morning an entry was effected into the residence of Mr. Goldwire, Baglan, but up to the present the police are unable to ascertain if &ny- thing h,? been taken, as Mr. Goldwire is away from home. The drawers in several articles of furniture had been ransacked, and a painstaking scrutiny had been given to all likely recesses. The police, who were apprised of the fact by the caretaker, dis- covered in the works nearby an old pair of boots and some garments which had appa- rently been exchanged for clothing stolen from the caretaker. The burglary is attri- buted to one of the tramp class. The police are actively engaged in searching for the burglar.

CARDIFF MAtnJBRÃVERY.. Saves a Woman's Life at Bristol. I The story of a Cardiff man's gallant con- duct was told before the Bristol magistrates this morning, and won very hearty praise from the bench. It seems that Harvey J. Garratt was on Good Friday paying a visit to Bristol, and when walking in a, suburb information was brought to him that a woman had jumped into the River Avon near by. With grea,t courage, and wearing aa he was his complete holiday attire, he jumped into the water and effected a gallant rescue. Ellen Durbiu, the woman in question, told the magistrates that she had of late been very depressed. Whilst walking near the river she was seized with an impulse to commit suicide, jumped into th-e water, and, doubtless, would have been drowned but for the gallantry of the Cardiff man. The justices remanded the woman, and paid a pleasing tribute to the courage of Garratt.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM Gro N Together on a Plant. Strawberries and cream grown together on a plant-th.is is the remarkable news fare placed before its. readers by an American journal, which in. charity we shall leave namakBS. Mr. Alonzo Murphy, of Morristow.il, New Jerc< y, we arc told, claims to have achieved this remarkable feat, and he hopes to be able to furnish the fruit shops this summer with strawberries and cream direct from the hand of nature. Mr. Murphy, being an imaginative farmer, dreamed that he could accomplish this by a judicious crossing of the milkweed and the strawberry. Last autumn he grafted several strawberry plants on the liilkweod. One grew sturdily close to Mr. Murphy's kitchen range, and was in full fruitage, wiien, aLa" the fire went out, and it succumbed to the cold. Mr. Murphy says that each strawberry when examined was found to contain a quantity of cream varying from a few drops to a. teaspoaniul, depending OIl the size of the berry. He believes he will havp a lar^e supply ready for the summer strawberry season. At. leartt, the American paper in quest-ion | declares that he believes this.

The Easter- Manoeuvres] I A MIMIC RAID ON CARDIFF. I To Destroy the Railways and Stores. Field operations of an interesting and j character were conducted on Caerphilly Mountain by the C (Cardiff) j and D" (Pontypridd) Squadrons of the II Glamorgan Imperial Yeomanry on Good Fri- day. The weather was all that could be desired for the manoeuvres, but as they were only known to a few the spectators I were limited in number. The general idea of the scheme, which was set by Captain Williams, of the lith Hussars (who a few days ago took up his duties as adjutant of the regiment) was that a. hostile cavalry force ("D" Squadron) was reported to have bivouacked on Thursday night near Bedwas. Its intention was supposed to be to destroy railways and stores at Cardiff, which were occupied by a defending force, C" Squad- ron forming a portion of the outpost line and covering the city from Naintgarw (including the Barry Railway line) to the Travellers' Rest at Thornhill, a front of about two miles. This squadron fell in at North-road, Cardiff, at 9.30 on Friday morning, and the main body moved along the Rhiwbina road past Blaengwynlaie Farm to the Blaick Cock Inn, where they threw out a patrol to the right to meet No. 1 patrol, which proceeded along the main Caerphilly road past the Travellers' Rest, and to the left to meet No. 3 patrol, which moved alone; the Tongwynlais road, and watched the Barry Railway line between Walnut Tree and Nantsr&rw. O" ScsfrtfTou, with r g -?, r.L m a ,j o r Giddens in command, was in position by 12.15. its centre being on the hills north of the Black Cock, with out- posts extending from the Barry Railway on tue west to the Cardiff and Caerphilly main road on the east, these being the boundaries within which operations were confined. The opposing sides were distinguished by the Pontypridd men wearing slouch hats, and the Cardiff Squadron forage caps. In the meantime "D," the raiding squadron from Pontypridd, assembled at Eglwysilan Church, under the command of Sergeant- major Knowles, and marched to the Naptgarw road, whey they waited until 12.15, when they threw out their patrols and advanced on the positions taken up by the defenders. As events proved it was the intention of the commander of D" squadron to break through on the right of "C's" line in the neighbourhood of the Travellers' Rest, but at the same time a feint attack was made on the centre of the defenders' position. A fairly strong body waaseen moving,down,Froin the village of Groeswen. They came along the Tymelin-road which leads almost in a direct line to the Black Cock, and affords plenty of cover along the greater part of its distance. Fire was opened upon them from a com- manding hill near the Black Cock, and, dis- mounting, they replied with volleys and independent firing from a small plantation and a farmhouse where they were well screened. There was not the slightest sus- picion of smoke to be seen, and, therefore, it was difficult to locate the enemy." As their I advanced patrol was creeping near the Black Cock, evidently with the intention of getting in the rear of "C's" centre, a section, ) under the command of Corporal Evans, was sent round to bar their progress. So cleverly was this movement executed that the enemy's patrol was cut off, and found itself between two fires. The entrapped men, how- ever, refused to surrender, and galloped off, although every saddle must have been emptied in real warfare. No further development took place in this part of the field, but the main body of the enemy in the meantime delivered their attack on the right flank of the defenders, who were superior to them in numbers, and held strong positions. "D" Squadron suffered from a heavy fire, commencing at 700 yards' range, but continued to push forward, making use of every ava-ilable bit of cover, until they found they were enfiladed by a strong patrol on the Cardiff-Caerphilly road. The result was that the D" Squadron failed to break through, and the railways and stores at Cardiff are still eafe. It is only fair to say that in numbers the Cardiff Squadron was stronger than the Pontypridd, but, on the other hand, the commander of the attacking party was not «impelled to spread his men out over a front of about two miles. "C" had no means of knowing, until the enemy appeared in view, where be was likely to be attacked, whi'e "D" knew I exactly at which point of the line of out- posts he hoped to break through. When the mimic battle was over Captain j Williams called the two squadrons together j and addressed them upon the day's work. Patrols, he said. should look behind as well as in front. He foUowed within fifty yards i of one patrol for about a quarter of a mile and they did not know it. If he had had a section of men they must have been captured.. He also advised the men forming a patrol on a road to allow a considerable distance I' between each, so that if a trap were set they would not all fall into it. The com- manders of both sides and other members of the Yeomanry were encouraged to express their opinions, and Captain Williams, in thanking them for turning up so well en a holiday, said he hoped to see more opera- tions of the same description, because on every occasion officers and men learnt some- thing. Newport Volunteers' Manoeuvres. I Successful and instruct??ve field operations were carried out by the headquarter companies of the 4th V.B.

A VOLCANO OF GAS. I II Capping the Crater with an Iron I Hood. A thrilling account of the" oapping" of t a flaming gas volcano in the Caney field, Kansas, is given in the "Petroleum World." The fire was caused by lightning. As the electric fluid came in contact with the gas there was a blinding flash, and the earth shook with the roar that followed. Ii The lightning had transformed the six-inch stream of vapour into a raging volcano. The gas well is known as the Yaudcrpod No. 1, and belongs to the New York Oil and Gas Company. It is one of the greatest gushers ever discovered. Its shaft leads into a vast depository of gas, whose force, pent up for age. exerts a terrific pressure. A manifestation of the power that lay under- neath the 8am e was seen when an iron hood weighing 73,OÜOlb. was dropped on the hole. It was tipped off as a boy shoots a paper wad with his thumb. A few days later the hood was repaired, its weight was increased, and it was again clapped over the hole. The mass of iron stuck, but within twelve hours the sand blast that poured out of the shaft had riddled the great iron cap till it was full of boles. Out of every hole shot a flaane, and the whole looked like an infernal bouquet cf fire spray. So fierce was the heat that an inch steel cable was burned in two directly it touched the flames. The task of removing the wrecked hood from the well to make way for another was a. difficult problem. A cannon waa taken to the scene, and colill shot were fired into the white-hot mass. Only- part of the obstruction was moved in this way, when the workers, becoming impatient, lilted the remainder with a specially rigged derrick. The flames shot from the earth with such tremendous pressure that the roar could be hoard at Independence1, Kansas, twenty miles away. Conversation was impossible within 300ft. The light it shed at night, was such that a newspaper could be read a mile away, and a. brook running close to the fire was converted into s. After tho failure with the first hood a new and heavier one was obtained, with* which the well was finally capped and the flames subdued.

Young Mother's Crime INTEREST AROUSED IN CARDIFF. Some interest has been aroused in Cardiff by the news of the murder of a child at Isle- worth by a young mother (who then com- mitted suicided owing to the similarify of the name of the husband (Camillo Fontana) to that of an Italian family who were residents of Cardiff some six or seven years ago. A man named Camillo Fontena formedy lived in the town, and was well-known by his fellow-countrymen of the Italian colony in the city. The father of Camilio came to Cardiff from Bordeaux, and worked as a sculptor off Castle-road. He was very skilful at his work, and was assisted in business by Camilio. Fontana, senior, used to lodge with Mr. Burinetti, boarding-house-keeper, 126, Bute-road. The two left for Paris, where the elder Fontana died some five or six years Camillo when in Cardiff was vn- married.

INSURANCE QUARREL. "Mutual" Co. & British Policy- holders. Mr. Peabody, president of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, having been informed that the British policy-holders would not be satisfied without the retire- ment from tiie management of the com-, pa.ny of those interests identified with Mr. M'Curdy's interests, replied that if British policy-holders would sa.y which trust,ees ought, in their opinion, to resign, those trustees would resign or explain why they did not do SQ. Mr. Peabody expressed a doubt whether the British policy-holders really ma de iiiieh demands. It appears i that wh at the British policy-holders actually did request is, firstly, that a British actuary should verify the computation of the reserve to meet liabilities. To this the Mutual cheerfully contented. Secondly, they demanded the election of ona or more British trustees. This the board wouid gladly do, but wants the British interests to suggest nam.2. Thirdly, they suggest that the whole British business should be turned over to a new company to be formed in London, the New York board at the same time delivering the total reserves held against British policies. This the board does not see its way lawfully to do, for which and for other reasons it considers I this suggestion impracticable. Mr. Ohoate is now examining the legal questions involved iu the zlbovo demand.-R.eut,er.

The con- ference negatived a proposal from the East Liverpool Bi-anch that the time has come when the Federation should affiliate to the Labour Representation Committee, but I adopted a proposal of Mr. Hyndman pro- claiming the readiness of the Federation to afIlliate to the Labour party and the Labour Representation Committee so soon as that combination publicly acoeptea the principles of Socialism.

I Bambaata- and his followers have taken I refuge in caves near Cetewayo's grave, known as Signauda's stronghold, after a veteran chief of that name. The rebels were un- deniably assisted in their flight by surround- ing tribes under three ohiefs-Signando, j N'Dubi, and Gayele, who have large follow- ings, t and whose attitude towards the troops is not satisfactory. On the other hand, ihere are several loyal chiefs a;ble to place 6,000 Zulu warriors at the Government's disposal. Signando is a centenarian, and wa3 a friend of Dingaan and Cetewayo. He hae long been suspected of harbouring outlaws.—Press Asso- ciation Foreign Special. K'KANDHLA FOREST, Friday. It is expected that Mr. Saunders, the Com- missioner for Native Affairs, assisted by a dozen chiefs, will organise a contingent of 6,000 natives, who will surround the forest in tihe neighbourhood of Bambaata's refuge, while a mixed force of whites and natives advances to capture him.—Renter.

Seamen for Hamburg I CONTINUED RECRUITING AT CARDIFF The German agents for the Hamburg steamship companies, who on Thursday engaged at Cardiff about two hundred sailors and firemen to go to Hamburg to take the places of the saamen on strike, were busy on Good Friday in arranging for the despatch of the men engaged and in recruiting as many more as they could get. The National Seamen's Union officials dis- countenance the recruiting ,of local men as much as possible, out of sympathy with the Hamburg men. The higher rates of pay offered, however, form too great a, temptation for many to resist, especially those who find it difficult to get re-engage- ment locally. It is expected that the local shipowners will be asked to pay higher wages in consequence of the departure of so many men from the district.

GOWERTON MEN ARRESTEDI As the result of investigations set on foot I by Superintendent Saundars, of the Greiat Western Railway Police (Paddington), Fore- man-shunter Albert Newman and Under- shunter Richard Silk, employed at Gower- ton Station, situated between Swansea and Lla-nelly, are in custody, and will be charged jointly before the county magis- trates at Swansea to-day (Saturday) with stealing a sack of flour, a. case cf tea, and a cas-e containing 350 eggs. For the laist two months robberies have been reported from goods trucks in transic I from London, Bristol. Manchester, Cardiff, Merthyr, and Swansea-, and going through stations west of t,he latter point. Following upon elaborate investigations, Superinten- dent Saunders last week visited Soutn Wales. He was assisted by Detective- inspector Matthews (Cardiff) and Detective- inspector Townsend (Swansea). These two officers kept observation at Gowerton Station on Thursday night, with the result that New- man and Silk were arrested. Inspector Williams (Gowerton), of the Glamorganshire Constabulary, on receiving information, went to the men's houses.

THE CURE OF INEBRIETY. i Dr. Donald, of the Inverueith Lodge Sanar tOfiuni, issues a serious warning to those who treat inebriety by hypodermic injec- tions. He points out in his annual report, which is referred to in the British Medical Jour- nal," that a. hypodermic needle was an unknown article to a great many of the patients when they entered one of these institutions. But in undergoing the treat- ment they got accustomed to it, and a.fter they left it was a simple step for them to inject such drugs as morphine and cocaine. Dr. Donald says he has had several cases 01 patients who became narcomaniacs by this means. The doctor has something to say, too, about the method of curing by giving drugs which are said to act as specifics in remov- ing the desire for alcohol, and thus curing the patient of his habit. The trend of public opinion, he remarks, seems at present to be in favour of a short cut or royal road to cure a disease of long standing. The hire of inebriety is, to a great extent, prophylactic, and Dr. Donald, having tried the short and drug methods himself, expresses the belief that they not only fail to do good, but often do actual harm. a.

SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. I The annual conference of the Gloucester- shire, Herefordshire, and Monmouthshire Association of Sunday School Unions was held at the Mount Pleaant Conjjrelational Church. Pontypool, ou Friday. The morning conference was presided over by Mr. T. A. King (Hereford), president of the association. In his presidential address he deplored the fact that Sunday School work did not receive the recognition from the churches that it deserved, but he waa pleased to note that generally the teachers were fully alive to the responsibilities imposed upon them as trainers of the young. They should all endeavour to eet the best example possible, and refrain from intoxicants of all kinds, as well a. tobacco, and, above all, should not, under any consideration, lose control of their temper during the time they were teaching.—An, address was delivered by the Rev. Frank James, London, upon the subject of Control of Class and Desk," and at the evening meeting, which was presided over by Councillor J. Liscombe, J.P. (the Mayor of Newport), addresses were delivered by the Rev. Frank James on "Farces jn Teaching," and the Rev. J. B. Paton, M.A., D.D., on The Redemptive Social Mission of the Church."

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION. I An important discussion regarding the pending railroad ra.te legislation took place l at White House on Friday. President Roose- velt suggested the wisdom of adopting one or other of the amendments proposed by I Senators Simmons and Vallary to the Rev- 'I burn R-ate Bill. Both are designed to prevent unusual dday in the con8idr:Ü10n of appli. c?.tMas for temporary iaj?nctioas against unlawful rates. It is regarded as lely that such amendment may be adopted.—Reuter. — ess

CDiap. 1.-1 had been told by my M.P. to visit him early, and he would give me a. warm welcome at the Houi-e of Commons. I at-iended the opening day, when the SP(3aker, wao chosen out some time betfore the King was present. I wanted to see Joim Borne, Winston Churchill, and their great rivsul Mr. Chamberlain, and I looked for them earnestly in the lobby. The flr&t big man I saw was Sir Henry Fowler. Chap. 2.—Manv new M.P.'s showed by their demeanour that they were fct rangers. Mr. Bell. tie railway servants' member, was busy, so was the Tory Whip, Sir Aciand Hood. The L.C.C. Chairman, Sir E. Corn- wall, was back from gunny France with pleasant smiles and greetings to friends, and doubtlsse was questioned about his kisses of ceremony in. the gay Capital. MT. Balfour was absent, but I hooped to catch a glance at Sir Henry Campbeil-Bannerman. Oha.p. 3.—While waiting, a, companion near at hand facetiously remarked that the House had in the names of M.P.'s a Baker, Butcher, Clarke, and Cooper. I informed him there was ako a Gardener, Glover, Maoon, as well as a Shipmaa, and the greatest of nil professions, that of a King. "There .) Crooks," some person sud- denly ,:11êd, as tihe fighting M.P. for 1% paasd by, followed later by his comrades Mr. Barnes, Mr. Bowerman, and Mr. Shacklerbon. Chap. 4.—At last I journeyed home after securing a seat in the Stran-perf' Gallery on the opening night of tne debate on the Adrees. I saw many famous men on this j second visit, a.nd nearly all the chief orators of the s-reat parties took their share in the proceedings, a-nd those that did not mtch the Soea-ker's eye, I v.es able to recognise from their portraits in the papers. My own M P in order to make my visit a pleasant one, had a. long chat, and explained several things I did not understand. Cuafi. 5.—It was amusing to not-ice the pleasure which the new members got, out of politics. "Would it JasP" was the point I turned over in my mind, and looking at the over-crowded House, it was easy to under- stand that many aspirations and careers would be marred by lack of opportunity. The Whips chiefly required their supporters to vote rather than speak in order to get on with the affairs of the g-overment (govern- ment). After one or two sessions it is not Eurpripin? tba.t the mt?re&* Massed. Chap. 6—The Labour MP- tL^ent t,<) the .Eou?e were in <3?d ..ameS:. They foliow? the orders for the day. lisenoo  the 6peecb. made some pungent rem.-Tit. d<A?nmned that they, at a.ny rat.(, "'QuIa carry out their duties well, and ^4 the w?-Tare of tl? working-men ?? had honoured them with their sunport. To D? the matter in a nutshell, all saw ta*t the day had dawned so far as the Labour P&rty was ooncerned. and none could prop-iiesy exactly what war; in store in the future.
