Abraham (Mabon), M.P. made a feeling reference to the disaster at Abercynon. Hitherto accidents in mines had been caused by the falls of roofs or sides and by great explosions, but here was a new phase; and though not the first of the kind which had happened, this accident was about the most grave in its consequences. He urged upon the men to do what they could to assist the management in providing for their greater safety. The hon. member then moved a resolution of sympathy, which was agreed to.

GIRL AND HER BANJO. !
GIRL AND HER BANJO. PATHETIC CASE OF A NEWPORT FAMILY. An Austrian 'tailor, named Charles Mann, was brought up at Newport on Monday for the second time charged with neglecting I his wife and children—Nellie, aged fourteen, Elsie, aged eleven; Doris, aged eight; Gladys, aged seven; and Charles, aged four. Mr. Lyndon Cooper 'prosecuted on behalf of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Inspector George Sparks stated that his attention was first called to the case in October last, when the family lived in Bond- street. He found the family then in a state of semi-starvation, and the children were ill-clothed. There was no food or fire in the house. As the husband was away then and at many other times, he (the inspector) advised the wife to apply to the relieving officer. After trying to find the man for several weeks, witness found him at home on Deoember 4. He wa? well-dressed, but ?,?h children were in rags. The wife and children had had to go away hop-picking, but the man went away and took away the wages which had been earned by the eldest girl. But for the kindness of people who had responded to the appeals of the inspector for help the family would have starved. The wife said that she had been married to the prisoner for 24 years. How have we been living of late? you ask (she said). It has hardly been living. But for the kindness of neighbours and friends we should have starved. My landlord was very kind. He wouldn't take the money due for the rent. Whilst we were in London one of my girls had to go out singing for food in the streets with a banjo, whilst my hus- band was sitting at home by the fire. She used to go to the big hotels, and she got as much as 5.s. or 6s. a night. Mr. W. H. Brown; Did the prisoner know that the girl was doing this? The Wife: Yes, he was waiting at the door for her to bring home the money. The Bench, in the result, held that it was a bad caae, and send Mann to prison for a month. Prisoner: Thank you, sir; I am much obliged to you. •

PARIS UNDER ARMS I BALL CARTRIDGES SERVED TO TROOPS. Suspected Conspirators Arrested I Paris continues to suffer from a fit of I nerves, due to apprehensions of what may happen to-day (May Day). The feeling of uneasiness has been increased by the alleged Royalist-Labour plot against the Govern ment, and several arrests were made on Monday. The ferment in the labour world shows no signs of subsiding, and the exodus I from the capital continues. The exoduis of well-to-do foreigners and Frenchmen continued all day on Monday, all the trains to the coast and the Swiss and Belgian frontiers being crowded.—Central News.

I There was a charge of cavalry in the streets around the Bourse de Travail yes- terday evening. Several people were hurt, some rather badly. The number is not yet known exactly. The circumstances which led up to the charge were rather extraordinary (saye the Daily Express"). A largo meeting was held in the Bourse de Travail, and at about ten o'clock a man in the uniform of an officer in the French army sprang up into the tribune and made a violent Anarchistic speech. He was wildly and enthusiastically cheered. As soon .as he left the hall polioe and soldiers outside arrested him. A rush was immediately made to rescue the man, but he was carried away from the crowd, who were charged by the cavalry with drawn swords, and he is now in prison. He has been identified as Tisserand de Lange, an infantry officer.

When I asked what he would do if he were ordered to fire on the people, the lieutenant said that he would advise the workmern to keep quiet and avoid a conflict, but as for himself he would not allow the blood of his brothers to be shed. His opinion, he declared, was shared by misuny of hie brother officers. He added he would emphatically refuse to give orders to are. On leaving the building he was loudly cheered.—Keuter.

BUTE WEDDING DOWRY.I
BUTE WEDDING DOWRY. I CEREMONY AND PRESENTATION I IN CARDIFF. Mr. Andrew John Thomas, 11, Henry- street, Docks, Cardiff, cabman, and Miss Mary Emma Davies, 70, Albany-road, Cardiff, the fortunate couple who have merited the Bute wedding dowry, were on Monday married at St. Martin's Church, Roath, by the Rev. G- P. Symonds. There was a large congregation—mostly of women-present to greet the happy pair. The bride, who was attired in light brown, with hat to match, was given away by Mr. George Beanies, of Albany-road, builder, in whose service she had been for the past eleven years, and she was accompanied by Miss Mabel Beanies as bridenuaid, whilst Mr. Edward Tutty acted as groomsman. It was a quiet affair, but after the signing of the register Mr. and Mrs. Thomas were met with showers of confetti at the church door, and the same greeting favoured them when, at three o'clock, they entered the Town-hall, where they were to receive the dowry at the hands of the Lord Mayor. In the Mayor's Parlour the bride and bridegroom were received by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, amongst others present being Miss Kate Hartley, of Cynlais (cousin of the late Mr. T. E.

Brock, a.nd Mr. Davey, the Lord Mayor's secretary. The Lord Mayor, having explained the origin of the dowry, presented the bride with £ 30 14S., the year's interest on the £ 1,000 left by tffe late Marquess of Bute. His lord- ship read the first eleven verses of the 2nd chapter of St. John's Gospel, according to the terms of the foundation, and afterwards gave the happy couple good homely advice. The Lady Mayoress, in presenting the bride and bridegroom with a handsome Bible, congratulated them most heartily on their union, after which Mr. H. Brock, manager of the Roath Furnisfting Company, intimated that his firm had presented the pair with a sitting-room suite, as had aLso been done on the eight previous occasions' l upon which the dowry had been awarded.' The next presentation was of a collapsible fireguard and fender, by Councillor Dr. Robinson—his own invention. Congratula- tory speeches were also made made by the Deputy-mayor, Alderman Trounce, Coun cillor J. W. Courtis (who had nominated the bride as the worthy recipient of the dowry), and the town-clerk, after which a very interesting little function was con- cluded by an expression of thanks by the bridegroom on behalf of his bride and self.

Sultan's Latest Note I
Sultan's Latest Note I NO REPLY YET SENT BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. The Press Association learns officially that the British Government has not yet replied to the Sultan's latest note on the subject of the alleged Turkish aggression on Egyptian territory, and there has been no actual development in the situation. So far from it being the fact that King Edward is hurrying back to London in consequence of its gravity, his Majesty is returning three days later than the date originally named as the earliest for his arrival, viz., on May 5 instead of May 2. At the British Foreign Office no estimate of the probable trend of the negotiations is obtainable, but in other diplomatic quarters in London confidence is generally expressed in a peaceful solution of the difficulty. There were many callers at the Foreign Office on Monday, including the French, Russian, and German Ambassadors and the Belgian Minister. Turkey Still Defiant. The following eingTilar telegram from Con- stantinople appears in th,e Frankfurter Zeitung" (Berlin) and is circulated by the German semi-official agency (says the Times correspondent;— In of he reports of the Turkish Minister in Athens, Rifaat Bey, in conversation with whom the King of Eng- land during his visit to Athens referred in serious terms to the Tabah incident, a Ministerial OoanLcil has been held here, at which it was decided -not to modify the standpoint hithepto a,do'pted by Turkey." Germany's Disclaimer. I Reuter's correspondent has received a semi- official statement to the effect that the German Government has noted the rumours of German complicity, and that they are purely fantastic. Germany has no idea of helping to create a Turco-Egyptian frontier incident. Anarchy at Jeddah. I A letter received at Alexandria from Jeddah says that the town is in a state of complete confusion, and .foreign inhabitants are alarmed. A large number of Ottoman troops have left Jeddah for Aka-ba. (says the Daily Chronicle "). The officers at first refused to proceed till they received half of their pay. Jeddah is the port on the Red Sea whence the Mussulman pilgrims proceed to Mecca. Turkish Troops in Egypt. I The well-informed corresponrent of the journal Mokattam at El Arish, who first transmitted the news of the removal of the boundary pillars 'by the Turks, has been sent by the Mokattam" to Refh to investigate. On his return to. El Arish he telegraphs that the removal of the pillars is certain. A telegraph line runs acrosa the frontier. The Turks have advanced up to the twelfth Egyptian pole (says the Cairo correspondent of the "Daily Mail"), and declare that the boundary now lies there. They have also penetrated a;bout a mile west of the locality where the boundary columns stood. Fifty Turkish troops, commanded by two officers, are encamped in ten tents on Egyptian territory. The correspondent interviewed these officers, who were extremely reticent. They stated, however, that they had been at Refh for the last 45 days. The armoured cruiser Lancaster sailed for Alexandria on Monday evening, convoying the transport City ,of Athens, with the Lancashire Fusiliers dm board. —————.—

THE LYCEUM, NEWPORT.-I
THE LYCEUM, NEWPORT. The important week of the Royal Carl Rosa Opera engagement opened on Monday night at the Newport Lyceum with an excel- lent production of "Faust," which is still in gr-eat popularity. It was an excellent ren- dering of the great Gomiod work. Mr Edward Davies was fine in his presentation of the title part. He is one of the older favourites of the Carl Rosa Company and is certainly not declining in his hold upon the public. Mr. Arthur Winckworth, who is also well known, was Mephistopheles." On the ladies' side there were Miss Grace Nicoll as Marguerite," and Mies Anna Hope as Siebel "-both very pleasing in their parts To-night "Tannba-user" will be produced.
NEWMARKET I
NEWMARKET I Starters and Selections NEWMARKET, Tuesday Morning. It is unusual for flat racing to take place in the South of England on a Monday, and, with the weather most urfpropitious, it was not surprising to find only a limited com- pany assembling on the Iingfield Course yes- terday. For the greater part of the forenoon it rained in torrents, and though after the decision of the first event it brightened up, the improvement was only temporary, and I the majority of the visitors were thoroughly soaked. Except for the opening event fields were ofjbig size, but they were for the most part composed of poor class animals. The rain which fell at Newmarket yesterday has done a lot of good to the going on the Heath, and the large number of visitors who have already journeyed down for the First Spring Meeting are likely to make it a little more animated than the Craven gathering a-fort. night ago. This is, of course, to be expected, for do not the Two Thousand and One Thou- sand Guineas figure in the programmes of the four days, and there are other interesting races besides. The leading item this after- noon will be the Hastings Plate of 500 sow, which will attract a field of ten. Peter Jack- 'on ha's been i3tr eon has been etrjick out of the Three-year-old Handicap, evidently with a view to this race. He ran a good third to Galilee and Nausicaa at Folkestone in September, and third to Eugenia colt and Farasi at Stockton, having won previously at Haydock and Birmingham. Gilpin's Satira looks dangerous, but the horse with the best form is undoubtedly DEMURE, who won at Hurst Park from Little Theo, Succory, and Chicot.
