"THE CECIL PLOT"
"THE CECIL PLOT" LIBEL CASE TRIED Astounding Allegation OF A SCANDAL AT HATFIELD Demand for Jury of Matrons. Verdict and Sentence. The oase in wflricih. Matilda Lavinia StB/nlcyj otherwise Sneehaii, is indicted for publishing a. false and defamatory libel of and oan-oern- iJUg Lady Gw-endolen Cecil, sister of the Marquess of Salisbury, came on to-day at the Old Bailey (before the Common Serjeant, Mr. Bosanquet, Q-0.). The court was thronged, amongst those occupying seats b&ing the Rev. Lord W. Cecil, rector of Hat- field, Lord Robert Cecil, K.C., M.P., and Lady Gw?T?dolen, who sat together on the sheriffs' benches. The defendant, on taking her place in the dock, pleaded not guilty, amd put 1n a plea of justification. The Judge ait the outset said that. as defendant was not represented by counsel, he thought it right to point out that, in order to make her defence good, Lt was not (sufficient for her to prove that she believed the matter which she had published to be true, but she would have to prove the facts upon which she had made the imputations against the prosecutrix. The Prisoner: I should not have published the libel, my lord, if I had not been sure. Prisoner's justification was then produced— a large closely written Sheet bearing her signature. Mr. C. F. Gill, K.C. (with whom was Mr. Bodkin), at once opened the case. He at first called attention to the ruling of the Common Serjeant as to what defendant must be in a position to prove in order to substantiate her defence. She would have to show that the statements she had published were for the common benefit. The libels (said counsel) were contained in a pamphlet oaliled The Hatfield Business: or, the Cecil Plot. Extraordinary Revelations. Great is truth, and in the end it will prevail. Price one efhHIing. In that pamphlet the defendant asserted that A Soandal Arose at Hatfield House between Lady Gwendolen Cecil and the then Rev. E. J. Edwards, chaplain of Hat- field House Chapel, about the year 1890. The Jibed set out in the indictment was the follow- tn paragraph, which Mr. Gill read:- In consequence of distinct information I have received, I demand as my right that Lady Gwendolen Cecil shall submit to the examination of a jury of matrons; that she publicly produce her child born in the year 1890, which she has infamously attributed to me, and the names of the doctor and nurse who attended her at the birth of the child, together with the trades- men's bills connected with her illness and stated to be made out in my name, and that she take her trial in the law courts. Mr. Gill read the following extract from the pamphlet:- I found, to my utter astonishment, that after I left Hatfield a foul and baseless slander had been adroitly and designedly fixed to my name for a very apparent reason. Mrs. Stanley continued to say that the cir- culation of the rumours had caused her irreparable injury, and proceeded to deal with the origin of this plot and with all its subsequent developments and complications. She stated that "in the year 1890 this lady gave birth to Sa child, of whom it was alleged that the chaplain was the father. In order to shield themselves the parentage of this child was infamously attributed to me." It was unnecessary, added counsel, to say that these astounding allegations were abso- lutely without foundation. This pamphlet, he continued, was followed by the publica- tion in this year of a leaflet, also printed and published by the prisoner at Gladstone- place, Brighton. It was also entitled "The Hatfield Business, or Cecil Plot," and it con- gained this paragraph:- I regret to learn that one or two points in my published pamphlet axe not quite clear, so in response to innumerable requests I now give the name of the lady for whom I was made the scapegoat—Lady Gwendolen Cecil, whose disgrace and dis- honour has been written upon me for fifteen years, with most disastrous results and at terrible cost to my husband and myself. It had been pointed out to the prisoner over and over again that she must be suffer- ing under delusions in this matter, but she still insisted. Hence the necessity for these proceedings. No woman (continued Mr. Gill) I made these sort of statements suddenly. This was the culmination of a series of wild state.! inents and threats against all sorts of people I extending over a great number of years. From 1889 or 1890 down to the present time she had been complaining of her sufferings, making the most sweeping charges that people were engaged in some diabolical plot against her, that the Post Office officials were parties to it, letters and forged documents being sent in her name. Mrs. Stanley, who was of respect- able parentage, was for many years organist of Hatfield House Chapel, in the employ of the late Marquess of Salisbury. Her father died in 1899, and, being broken down in health, she went to Paris for a rest. As show- ing the condition of her mind, her letters -written while there showed her feelings to be that everybody was hostile to her. From Paris she wrote thanking Lady Gwendolen for many kindnesses. In November, 1900, she wrote asking for a loan of 980. This was (followed by a letter addressed to the late Lord Salisbury, asking him to use his in- fluence with the Duke of Devonshire on behalf of a clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Stanley, with the view to procuring him a living. The next application was for a loan of JB300 for the purpose of starting a school. Subsequently the defendant returned to Hat- field, and was there married to Mr. Stanley. Counsel proceeded to read extracts from the letters whicih the defendant had written from time to time, in which she complained of Her Shattered Condition Mr. Stanley she had become acquainted with a.t Eastbourne, and it was for an appoint- ment for him wt Esseiiden that she asked. It was in 1894 that she first made suggestions of a "plot and conspiracy," and she wrote that her life of persecution, torture, degrsi- da/trton, and all its attendant miseries must cease." She wrote of "the lord otf Hatfield" being responsible for her "losses and personal injuries and outrageotis" in such a way as to le&d to the conclusion that her mind was slightly unhinged. She spoke of Mr. Stanley and herself becoming bankrupt unless she could uadse a loan, and pointed to her twenty yeans' faithful service in a sacred capa-city. Amongst those whom sihe suggested were in league against her was also the name of a clerical dignitary in the South of England. The prisoner and associates distributed leaflets and pamphlets containing definite statements regarding tine prosecutrix. These being brought to the notice of the Cecil family, steps were taken, a warrant issued, and the prisoner arrested at Brighton. At the house where she had been living were found thousands of pamphlets to be sold a.t a shilling, of addenda to be sold at three- pence, and of other printed matter, including copies of "A Letter to the King" I on tho subject. The learned counsel wad. some correspondence to show the ignorajMe and stupidity of the five women who formed the prisoner's "committee," &nd who testified their belief in her bona-frdes. He added that her husband had kept discreetly in the background, but he was somewhere where this printing press was at work. The whole thing was cairried on in the hope that money would be paid to stop it. The learned counsel ooncluded by sta,ting that he might have simply proved publication of the libel and left the defendant to attempt to prove her justification, but he would put Lady Gwen- dolen Cecil in the witness-box, amd she would say that there was not a shadow of founda- tion for the allegation concerning her. Inspector Edward Shaw (Sc-otland Yard) ga,ve evidence of the arrest of the prisoner at Brighton Railway Station on Angtist 14, and the discovery amongst her luggage at her address of a great quantity of the libellous printed matter. After being captioned, the prisoner made a statement: — I have been expecting this for some time, and I am glaxl now it has come. I have been very much persecuted. I am a deeply- wronged woman. I have appealed in a long letter to the King, as well as to the public, for funds for a fair, equal, open trial in the law courts, and mean to fight to the bitter end, not only for my own sake, but for everyone concerned, as I regard it as a representative case, and one seriously threatening and involving the rights and liberties of the people. -6he afterwards added that ebe had bep persecuted for twelve years, and nothing had been done, while Lady Gwendolen Cecil had only been attacked eight days and she was arrested. George Keith, a private inquiry agent, gave evidence of the prisoner and her committee making calls at newspaper offices, and after- wards driving about London and distributing the libels. I LADY GWENDOLEN IN THE BOX Lady Gwendolen Cecil was then called. She had been sitting with her brother, Lord Robert Cecil, in the court during counsel's opening statement, and nearly fell over a hidden step as she made her way across to the witness-box. She was perfectly self- possessed, spoke witth a strong, clear voice, but naturally little relished the necessity of appearing íill this scene. Replying to her counsel, she said she was the daughter of the late and sister of the present Marquess of Salisbury. She knew the defendant as a member of the Sheehaai family, who bad lived at Hatfield, and been irn the employ- ment of her grandfather and father, and been pensioned by her father. The defendant was a member of a large family, and was employed as organist until 1889, when she left. Have you had any oommnnioalttan with her for years past?—None whatever. Was a commu:nioatioTL made to you by one of your brothers in August?—Yes. Were you subsequently shown this printed pamphlet, called "Addenda" ?—Yes. You are the Lady Gwendolen Cecil referred to there?—Yes. Now, I formally ask you the question is there any foundation for what is imputed to you there?—None whatever. The Common Sergeant (to the defendant): Do you ask this witness any question? The Defendant: Do you remember the Rev. G. G. Edwards? Lady Gwendolen Cecil: Yes. Who was he?—Chaplain to my father at Hatfield House. Were you not on terms of extreme intimacy with the Rev. Mr. Edwards?—No, I knew him as I knew all the other gentlemen who served my father in the same way. Do you remember warrants being out for his arrest?—I knew nothing about it. Do you deny that you have ever had a child?—Absolutely. Do you deny having had a child in 1890?— Certainly. Did you know a person called Mrs. Beere? —I knew a Mrs. Beere. Did you or your family not offer Mrs. Beere A Thousand Pounds to Settle I this disgraceful affair —I never heard any- thing about it. Do you know thatt a. proposal was made that my husfband Should have a living of £ 700 a year and promotion in the Church, 8I,n!t I an annuity of £ 300 as compensation for the deadly wrong done to me afex miany years of long service at your beck and call, never free a day?—Never, I never heard any- thing about it. Daiendant, in continued cross-examination, asked if Lady Gwendolen biad not had a child and had had the bills connected with the birth made out in her name. The Judge repeated the question. Witness: No. Defendant: Are you not aware that my hustond has not been allowed to work, and th ait I am a, scapegoat for him ? Witness: No. Farther questioned, Lady G'wendolenii said that ehe had heard thait defendant was asking her family for money. Defendant: Oh, no, my lad, not for money, only for comipefnsatiom, for a deadly wrong. I have appealed constantly for justice aiga.i'nsft the a.cousaltion of scandal a,nd libdl against me in connection with Mr. Edwards instead of Lady G-wendolcn. Defendant added she had no further guestione to ask now, as Lady Gwendolen had denied the birth of her child, but she would ask for an examination by A JURY OF MATRONS. t The Common-Sergeant: You cannot asu that. No jury of matrons can be empanelled for that purpose. Defendant: She confessed her guilt to Mirs. Beer, a member of the Saseoon family. The Judge: You can call your witnesses when the time comes. Mr. R. Thompson Dunton, priva-te secre- tary to the late Lord Salisbury, put in private letters received from time to time from the defendant. He remembered the defendant leaving the service of the Hatfield family in 1889 because SeT health not being good and her substi- tutes not being satisfactory, Lord Salisbury thought a change necessary. He knew there were warrants out for the arrest of the Rey. Mr. Edwards, but knew nothing about hds being allowed to escape. Witness also described an interview at Arlington-street, wfhiclh the late Lady 8alislbury brought about with the view to provide for Miss elieehan's future. This was the case for the prosecution. The defendant, addressing the jury, asked tTnat all the pamphlets should be put in, including tJhe letter to his Majesty the King." This having be-en done, defendant addressed the jury. I desire, she began, to record my abso- lute beilief in the truth of every word I have published. For some fourteen ydare, said defendant, She had been the victim of a loathsome libel and oonspirwy, and she had taken the course ghe had adopted because of the MARTYRDOM AND CRUCIFIXION I of her husband. She had been accused of blackmailing—anything to save the exposure of a guilty woman. It was in 1892 that she heard the terrible accusation that she amd not Lady Gwendolen was the mother of an illegitimate child. An attempt was made to connect her name with that of the clergyman Edwards, but she had never been alone with him in her life. It was MTs. Beer who con- fessed to Lady Gwendolen's guilt, and through her that the defend,ant was offered jSl,000 a year—not a very large sum considering that she was a pupil of Sir John Stainer and did mainly musical examination work-but she refused to live a lie. Defendant went Into certain particulars connected with her hus- band's position, and to certain correspondence with the Archdeacon of Esseb .and with the bishop of the diocese. i I u Verdict and Sentence, I aiirs. fc^awiey was found guilty, and sen-I I tenced to six months, imprisonment.

RAILWAY FINANCE IN 1905.
RAILWAY FINANCE IN 1905. An official report upon the railway com- panies of the United Kingdom for 1905 was issued on Monday. It shows that the total paid-up ca,pit-al on the various stocks was 1282.8 millions sterling, compared with 1268.5 in the previous year, being an increase of 14.3 millions. This is a smaller increase than that of any previous year since 1894. The average dividends paid on the various classes of capital ia 1905 were almost exiaotly the same as those paid in 1904, being approxi- mately 31 per cent, on ordinary capital, SJ per cent. on preference, 4 per cent, on guaranteed, 4 per cent. on loans, and 3J per cent. on debenture stock. The total passenger traffic for 1905 was 48.7 millions sterling, against 48.4 in 1904, and goods traffic 56.4 against 55.4. It will thus be seen that goods traffic increased by one million pounds. The return mentions that, whereas third- class railway passengers have increased from 888,000,000 in 1896 to 1,092,000,000 in 1904, tramway passengers have increased from 759,COO,OX) to 2,068,000,000 in the same time. The proportion of net earnings to capital was 3.39 per cent., as compared with 3.36 per cent. THE COMING OF ELECTRICITY. The length of railway line, in equivalent of single track, which was worked at the end of last year solely by electricity, was 1401 miles, while that worked partly by electri- city was 1701 miles.

PEACE AT HAND. !
PEACE AT HAND. Cuban Government to Treat with Rebels. MAGICAL EFFECT OF THE AMERICAN THREAT. I WASHINGTON, Monday. I The On.ba.n Legation has received the fol- lowing telegram from the Cuban Secretary of State:— Hostilities are suspended on both sides. It is believed that peace is at hand. Dispatches received at the State Depart- ment lead the officials to take the view that an effort is being made, both by the Cuban Government and the insurgents, to settle the situation in a practical and satisfactory manner before the arrival of Mr. Taft, in order to avoid intervention in any form. In reply to inquiry, the State Department declared that, in affording protection to American interests in Cuba during the revo- lution, the United States will also give pro- tection, as far as possible, to British inte- rests and prorly.-Reuter. HAVANA, Sunday. After consulting with the leading con- spirators now under arrest and with the emissaries from the revolutionaries, the Government has announced its indefinite sus- pension of hostilities, with the object of mak- ing peace before the arrival of Mr. Taft, or before the United States intervenes.-Reuter. NEW YORK. Monday. According to the Havana, correspondent of the American," both the Government and the Opposition are working desperately to restore peace before Mr. Taft reaches the ielaod.-Centr.sl News. HAVANA, Monday. After the issue of the decree suspending hostilities. Government emissaries set out in motor-cars to confer with the revolutionaries. General Menocal, accompanied by two Con- gressmen, went to a spot near Santiago de Las Vegas, where Senor Zayas, the Liberal leader, is encamped with Castillo's forces, while other Government representatives pro- ceeded to Guana-jay, which has just been occupied by a large force of Insurgents under Congressman Marquetti. The Government has liberated thirty of those indicted for con- spiracy. Members of the Government declare that they are making an effort in the direc- tion of peace, in accordance with the advice contained in President Roosevelt's letter to Senor Queada. They have no objection to the friendly assistance of the United States, but they believe they can settle the dispute with- out the necessity of intervention. At leaet, they are making an attempt to do so, and have fair prospects of success.—Reuter. One Week's Grace. I The "Times II New York correspondent, telegraphing in reference to the Cuban rising, says Mr. Taft should arrive at Havana to- morrow (Wednesday). It is understood that if a week after then I jsoaoe is not restored, the United States will send troops. In the meantime all the resources of the Navy are being utilised. If the United States were at war the activity at the naval station could not be greater. Every available war vessel is being sent Bouth. If the United States again send an army to Cuba, it is likely to stay there. The extraordinary feature of the situation, how- ever, is that thie, apparently, is exactly what the Cubans want. PEACE OFFERS REJECTED. t NEW YORK, Tuesday. The Havana corrcspondent of the "Ameri- can says that at a meeting of rebel leaders in Bejucal yesterday it was decided, after a number of violent speeches had been delivered, not to accept the peace proposi- tions made by the Government.—"Central News.

A Mere "Town" ClerkI
A Mere "Town" Clerk I ALDERMAN CAREY INDtGNANTt I Here is a proof of the Cardiff deptrty-town- clerk's Biblical knowledge being as accurate as his municipal information. At the meeting of the Cardiff Telephones Committee this mornting ALdernian Cafrey aalked why it was that t/here should be a "city" engineer and "city" treasurer and only a mere "town" clerk. Mr. Cecil Brown (deputy-town-olerk): Well, because a town-clerk is mentioned in the New Testament and the others are not. (Laughter.) The Chairman (Alderman David Jones): We shall call a special meeting of the council to discuss it, alderman. Aidermmi Carey: Yes, do. I came back specially from Hereford for it this morning. Thus spoke the city fathers. The passage referred to by Mr. Brown is the 35th veiise of the isth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. It reads as follows;- And wihen the town-clerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesirs, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a wor- shipper of the great goddess Diana, and of tilie image which fell down from Jupiter? Has Cardiff fallen or advanced since the days of St. Paul, seeing that the naane which rallied the adoring multitudes of mighty Epheeos iø dbw used to distinguish a mere street in which pressmen abound?

ICARDIFF SENSATION. •.*i
I CARDIFF SENSATION. Woman's Frightful Fate SINISTER RUMOURS AS TO I SUICIDE. Canal-parade, Cardiff, is not a. particu- larly respectable quarter, and is used to sensations. But on Monday night, when it raw a girl rushing in a mass of flames from door to door, and screaming for help, it had a sensation that was quite out of the oardi- nary. And it was only one of the bystanders, a man named Kinmonth, who had enough presence of mind to run up to her and throw his coat around her. With a good deal of trouble the flames about the woman's cloth- ing were extinguished, and then, when the police arrived, she was found to be suff,ering so severely that she was at once taken to the infirmary, where she died this morning. How she came to get on fire is the mys- tery. Her name is Lily Price, and she lived at 7, Canal-parade, Cardiff. She was sufficiently oonecious when she went to the infirmary to tell Police-constable Wil- liam Price that she had upset a lamp. Curiously, when the police came to search the house they could find no trace or rem- nant of anY iarnp at all. But the neigh- bours said that Price had been served with a summons for frequenting a shebeen. After that she said that she had never been in a. court before, and rather than appear before the magistrates she would commit suicide. Whether she attempted to do so or not it is not known, but it seems that she left her house to buy some oil, and the remains of her petticoats smelt of oil when she was taken to the infirmary.
NOISY CHICKENS IN COURT.I
NOISY CHICKENS IN COURT. I Philosophy of a Witness. I An Abertridwr schoolboy was charged at Caerphilly to-day with stealing a fowl, the property of Christopher Campbell. Mr. W. Spickett prosecuted, and Mr. Tom Phillips defended. Mrs. Campbell, the wife of the complainant, described the fowl as a "Morocca." She saw defendant's brother, she said, lurking near the place, and later missed another chicken. She alleged that she marked the fowls with paints, and also cut the feathers of the wings. A sample fowl was brought forward, and subjected to a close scrutiny, despite its noise. The defence also had specimens. A married woman, named Lydia Evans, who gave evidence in support of the case, was being cross-examined when she ex- claimed, "I've come to speak the truth, and if the troth is under water it will come on top." The case was dismissed.
« WHAT'S IN A NAME P" f
« WHAT'S IN A NAME P" f A Row at Death's Door. f 1 appear for Death!" cried Mr. C. S. Good- fellow, solicitor, at Caerphilly to-d.ay, and the court shuddered. It proved to be an assault case from Pengam, in which James Watkins, a Pengam contractor, summoned Morgan Rees Death and his wife, Mary Ann, for assault. Mr. A. E. S. Thomas prosecuted, and Mr. Goodfellow defended. The details were petty. Although it eoumded strange, it was alleged that Death came to Mr. Watkina as he and Mrs. Watkins were passing the defendant's house, and yet he survived. Mrs. Death joined in an assault by poking complainant in the eyes with her fingere. Like a fond parent, gr. Watkins was wheeling the perambulator at the time. The Bench considered that Death was not natural, and the penalty was 10s. and costs, -but the case against Mrs. Death and a cross- summons were dismissed.

BOY CONJURER'S DEBUT. I The debut of Master George "Griff," twelve- year-old son of "IGTiff," the well-known clown juggler at the Newport Empire last evening, was quite a success. The house took "Griff, I junr., with sympathetic interest as he appeared for the first time on the variety j boards as page to his father. There is not much in that part to do as yet, but young "Griff" has all the natural vivacity a-s well as the budding genius for the profession. He is an artiste in the making—at the very begin- ning, in fact. A wide field opens out before -him. He has the opportunity of being clown, juggler, singer, dancer, and patter comedian His start last might was auspicious.

IVOTES FOR SIXTEEN MONKSI
VOTES FOR SIXTEEN MONKS I Sixteen fathers of the Franciscan Order were yesterday, by the decision of the revising barrister for Flimtehire, allowed the right to vote. The fathers live in Panrtaeaph Monastery, near Holywell, amd the barrister held that they separately occupied their rooms as dwelling-houses in reepeot of their service to the Order. The Liberals had objected on the ground that the fathers, did not occupy the premises as OWIMSTB or tenants, but went in and out at the will of the Superior. Evidence was given that each father had a separate room, with a key to it. They were bound by the rules of the society, and not by the ocrders3 of the Superior. The fathers had the right to invite friends, provided those friends were not of the other sex. For the Liberals it was asked that the fact regarding the limitation of sex should be p<ut down, in view of aJ1, appeal. The Barrister said he would do so, and he fixed September 24 as the date oil which he would present his case to the Superior Court for the approval of the appellants. I
UNFAIR TRAP FOR BOY THIEFI
UNFAIR TRAP FOR BOY THIEFI A boy of eleven was brought up at Green- widh on a charge of theft from his employer, but in view of tihe fact that the latter had laid a trap for the boy.wihomihe suspected, by placing marked coins ia a desk without oatoh or lock, and had taken no preventive step to stop theft, the magistrate discharged the boy. It wa.s, he said, most unfair to the lad. If the man sueploted him he sibould have taken steps to prevent him from taking the money; he ought to have devised some means of keeping the money out of his way. The trap for suoh a small boy was grossly unfair, and could be justified only where it was the last resource.

Mr. Holbrook wakened him and found that he was a deserter from the North •Staffordshire Regiment, stationed at Alder- shot. He ba,d entered the house by the larder window, which he had broken. He ate severai cakes and drank three-parts of a bottle of wine, after which he went to sleep. At Farn- ham yesterday he was Committed for trial.

It is reported from Hong Kong that a typhoon, which sprang up there at ten o'clock this morning, caused enormous damage to shipping.

IUniticke-My rthyr Shop.I
IUniticke-My rthyr Shop. I I COW, DOGS, AND HORSE COMBINE TO I SMASH IT UP About a quarter past nine a.m. on Mon- day there was another smash at the estab- lishment of Messrs. R. T. Jones and Co., drapers, Ac., at Merthyr. Whilst a horse and cart, belonging to Mr. Weekes, fruiterer, were standing unattended in the market building the animal became frightened through some dogs fighting near its feet and ran away. It dashed straight into Messrs. Jones's window on the other side of the road, breaking a. stout iron bar which protects the window. and destroying two huge panes of plate-glass. The horse sustained only slight injuries to the forelegs, and there was no damage done to the stock, because the window was packed only with heavy rolls of linoleum. It was only last week that two large panes of plate- glass in another part of the establishment were smashed through the vagaries of a oow which had got out of control, and men were employed in putting in new sheets when this second accident occurred.
IALLEGED FRENZIED ATTACKI
ALLEGED FRENZIED ATTACK I By Cardiff Man on His Wife at I Bristol. A remarkable affair occurred at Bristol just before midnight on Monday concerning which David Nelson (45), a man once promi- nently associated with Socialistic propa- ganda at Cardiff, now at.an-dis charged with a savage assault upon his wife with a pair of scissors, with which he is &aid to have inflicted a wound in the neck. When the wife was rescued Nelson said, "Take me up; I am mad, or I shall jump into the river." It appears that quarrels had ariisen over relations in Appledore. He was very excited when the police arrived, and maCd wild aoous.a.tioDs against his wife. »!• "TSiyw I.. II.
" MABON" ON THE COAL-TAX
MABON" ON THE COAL-TAX Addressamg the meeting of the Rhondda I District of Miners at Porth on Monday, W. Abraham (Mabom), M.P., referring to the propceed abolition of the coal-tax. said it I was very difficult indeed to say what the workmen had lost directly through the shilling coal-tax at any given, time, but that they did lose there could be no doubt at all. They lost in two way-so The imposition of the tax afforded the Germans an opportunity to take a-way a large portion of their trade. This was a. loss in the volume of trade. Then, again, the owners, in order to compete with the Germa/ns, had to reduce the price of coal, and that meant a direct fall in the wage- raite which was calculated at 8f to 10 per cent, as the ultimate effect of the tax. T::e miniers' leaders had held a conference upon this matter, with the view of prevent dm g the owners takimg advantage of the abolition of the tax to reduce the price of ooal for t.he purpose of re-mpt-aring the lost markets, for if this were allowed to be done the benefit would only be in the direction of increased trade, and would not necessarily result in any more wages. What they (the miners) wecne endeavouring to do was to get the employers to keep the one shilling in the audit to the oredit of the sell- ing price -of the coal. (Hear, hear.) He did not expect that the employers would do all that they were asked in this connection, but he did hope that they would keep more of that shilling in the common exchequer than they would have done had not the men's leaders moved in the matter. (Applause.)
tEBBW VALE MASS MEETING. I
t EBBW VALE MASS MEETING. The annual mass meeting of the Ðbhw Vale District of the Miners' Federation was held on Monday. Mr. W. Vyce, miners' agent, occupied the chair, and was supported by Mr. W. M. Thompson, Mr. Thomas Richards, M.P., Mr. W. Brace, M.P., Mr. John Gale (Eb'bw Vale), the Rev. D. J. Llewelyn (vicar of Beaufort), and several ministers. Mr. Vyce said he was well satisfied with the condition of the district, as they had practioally no trouble with non-Unionists. Mr. John Williams, Cwm, proposed the Federation resolution, and Mr. Evan Davies seconded. Mr. W. M. Thompson immediately com- menced a strong hostile criticism of the pro- nouncement made by Mr. Keir Hardie in his speech in Scotland on Saturday, in which he proclaimed that the Labour party must be a Socialist, party, and that liberal and democratic candidates who were not Social- ists should not be returned to the House of Commons. It was, sa.id the speaker, the first time that the truth had been proclaimed that the Labour party and Socialism were identical. Mr. T. Richards, M.P., said they had recently been trying to improve the position of the hauliers, with the result that almost all the colliery companies had advanced the rate of wages. There was one company, how- ever, Messrs. Guest, Keen, and Nettlefolds, of Dowlais-one of the wealthiest com- panies in England—who had refused their hauliers the lid. per day. According to a pamphlet he received lately, the profits of this company for six years amounted to £ 2,500,000. During that period they had declared dividends of 10 per cent. each year —60 per cent. in all. Yet, with all their accumulation of wealth, they quibbled over paying lid. per day to their hauliers. It was in cases of this kind that all the forces of the Federation should be used. In the near future they might be used, and he had no hesitation in saying that the company must pay this lid. per day to their hauliers, or they would have to know the reason why. In conclusion, the speaker said that next year he hoped the eight hours day Bill for miners would become law. (Cheers.) Mr. Brace also briefly supported the reso- lution, which was carried.

Cardiff Auditor's Report
Cardiff Auditor's Report MUNICIPAL LOSSES OF THE PAST YEAR1 Mr. John S. Taylor, the elective auditor of the Cardiff Corporation accounts, has for- warded us his annual report as a matter of duty and privilege before seeking re-election at the Town-hall on October 1. He points out that without the aid of the press he has no means of making his report public, as he is debarred from any expenditure in connec- j tion with his election, and he is not exempt from the corporation's muzzling order. The corporation gospel, he says, is to bury facts and figures in the unfathomable depths of the celebrated Blue-book, rather than allow one of their officials to publish a plain, straightforward statement in language understandable of the people. How thank- ful we ought to be, therefore, that we have not a municipal press. I New City Treasurer Takes a Tip I It has been my duty during the past twelve months to audit the urban, water- works, and electric light accounts under the Public Health Act of 1875, and those of the city fund, tramways, and Burial Board under the Municipal Corporations Act of 1882. Since the appointment of Mr. John Allcock as city treasurer and controller I have con- sulted him on several occasions, and let me say that he has always met me as a gentle- man, and, in the public interest, will, doubt- less, carry through my numerous sugges- tions, especially in regard to a reform of the rates department, with which I was closely connected for eighteen years before the un- happy, but much vaunted, unification scheme came into vogue. Few people, for instance, have any idea that it is a practice in the rates department of Cardiff to give prefer- ential treatment in certain rate-collecting districts. Going through the summons-book, I which is produced before the learned stipen- diary and other local magistrates, I found that by comparison with the rate-book there were many cases in which no proceedings had been taken up to as recent a time as last month, although the rate was made in October of last year. To act justly, pro- ceedings ought to have been taken in these I cases at the end of March or the beginning) of April at the very latest. On Monday of; last week I presented a report, in conjunc- 5 tion with my colleague, to the finance com- I mittee, in which I drew attention to tihe fact that warrants are not executed sufficiently I promptly afttr tho time given by the magis- trates has expired, and that in many parts of the town no proper survey is made and no proportions demanded between the first demand and the next rate. The committee decided to print this report in the minutes, but I do hope that in addition immediate official attention will be given to the matter, which is one of urgent municipal reform. How Football Saved the Ratepayers I find from another part of the urban account that, owing to the efficient manage- ment of the central and fish markets by Mr. Marsih there is a profit shown on the work- ing of the central market of C719 10s. and the much maligned fish market of L113 16s. lOd. But I must direct the ratepayers' attention to the serious losses on the Canton Market of C917 Is. lid., Roa.th Market L306 13e. 3d., th..) newly-constructed North-road convenience jE131 4s. ld., and of £ 1,217 Os. 4d. on the cor- poration baths. There seems to me no pros- pect of this last loss ever being converted into a profit. It may be of interest to my numerous sporting friends to know that but for tihe abnormal receipts on the occasions of the New Zealand v. Wales and Shetland v. Wales international football matches there wor.Jd also have been a. loss on the working of the Hayes convenience. So that foot-ball is not, after all, the unmitigated evil some people would have us believe it to be, unless they inquire too minutely into the theory of cauae offw effect. Before leaving the urban authority department I feel bound to pay a tribute to Dr. Broad, the kind and thought- ful medical superintendent of the sana- torium, for his continued economical admini- stration of the sanatorium. His accounts show a decrease in expenditure as compared with the previous year of L920 6s. Id., and over the year 1904 of zEI,549 De. 5d. Collection of Water Rate J In the waterworks rentals account controlled I by Mr. Marks I find that on a levy of j 966,971 12s. 5d. there is a. loss under the head- ing of "Otherwise irrecoverable" of only a j paltry zEZ6, which means 9d. per 9100 loes on I collection, as compared with 168 6<1. per £100 j loss on the collection of the urban rate. It j should be explained that no collector can obvia,te losses on vacant properties and reductions on appeal by the assessment com- J mittee. And yet, notwithstanding this J remarkable collection of the water-rate, j which is without parallel in any part of the j kAgdom, the corporation have determined J to dispense with the services of Mr. Marks, j one of the most able and conscientious | officials ever* in the employ of the corpora- tion. It is not within my proving to dic- { tate a policy, but my sense of British jnetioe j compels me to hope, at least, that Mr. Marks J will not be deprived of his post without due A rega.rd being paid to his long and faithful I service. Ministers "Swift" on Burial Fees t After dealing with the electric light and tram- ways, Mr. Taylor mentions that the burial board account shows a loes of X680 l&s. 10d. There is a peculiarity in this aœount, he I aads. The deputy-regLstrar (Mr. C. D. Hunter)  oollected ministers' fees .amounting to £590 4s. during the yeaT, and there was not a I single fee unclaimed. Law Costs I Another important matter to which I directed the ottention of the finance com- mittee, and which must bo immediately dealt with, continues Mr. Taylor, is the taxa- tion of all law costs exceeding R25. I have look in vain through the pages of the cele- brated Blue-book for details of law costs and compensation paid out of tramwayis insuratice fund, but I found them in a. com- mon little cash-book, and they total approxi- mately the nice little sum of £ 2,100. Expenses of City Fathers' Officials I And now we come to what that interesting individual, the man in the street, will, doubtless, consider the meet importa.nt part of my report, viz., the several amounts paid I to the city fathers and chief officials in respsot of expenses. I should like to explain th.at in the case of the town-clerk £ 66 5s. 4d. was re-paid by the charges made in respect of I loans to other authorities. The following are the amounts actually paid during the year ended March 31 last:- I The Lord Mayor (Alderman £ 8. d. £ e. d. R. Hughes) 65 16 6 Alderman T. W. Jacobs 22 8 2 „ P. W.

I And now that I have presented my report, I I may be allowed to say in oonelueion that the gratitude of the oorpo-rat-ion promises the most grotesique development, for I find that in the next Bill to be promoted by t.he Cardiff Corporation, i'n Parliament there is a clause which hae for its object the abolition of the office of elective aju d i tors, and U- oom&equeaut destruction of the most effective searchlight on the details of municipal expenditure in this city. I have no doubt in my own mind that had I chosen to remain passive and to keep the ratepayers in the dairk this clause would never have been dreamt of. But, whatever happens, I am determined to do my duty to the ratepayers, who honoulr me with their confidence, by publishing my report as long as I hold the office of elective auditor. Whether this clause is to be aJlowed to pass unopposed is a matter for the ratepayer of Cardiff, and, in the public interest, I hope strenuous action will be taken at the right time. Whether I hold the office or not is only a secondary consideration. I Mr. Taylor concludes by acknowledging the ¡ valuable and ever-ready assistance of Messrs. R. W. Lewis (deputy city treasurer), D. A. Williams (chartered accountant), Harrison, Hunter, Woods, Elliott, HoweU, The<>. Jones, p. and .W! Williantg, Hjtrol.d

! BARGOED MINERS' MEETING
BARGOED MINERS' MEETING To the Editor of the Evening Express." Sir,—The allegation of Mr. Edmund Jones, check-weigher, in your issue of yesterday calls for a brief reply. He intimates that my report was gmsely exaggerated, but, fol- lowing the lines of his chieftains, carefully avoids even hinting at the truth. At every one of the miners' meetings held during the strike week members of Mr. Jones'e inaic- circle were ready with a proposition to exclude the press, but in each instance the intelligence of the workers prevailed, and the motions were easily defeated. That should really have pointed the way to the den's officers, yet at last Saturday's meet- ing the press were told that the proceedings would be private before the miners had been consulted! Why this secrecy when so few of the miners of the district were present? They pay their levies, and they have the right to call the tune. As for my report, I have two respectable Unionists who were present to confirm what I have written, and, as Mr. Chamberlain said, I withdraw n,thiiig.I am, Ac., Sept. 18. YOFB BARGOED REPORTER. I
