^—— < Sale of Bute Docks WHOLE UNDERTAKING IN THE MARKET I Now that the public "ve had time to con- Bider the pros and cons, of the suggested sale of the Bute Docks it is easy to see that Popota-r opinion, and particularly that of usiness men, favours the acquisition of the undertaking by one of the great railway co-mpanies, ?? London and North Western r Great Western, or by the Taff Vale. Next in f„ V?r are ?? suggestions that a public trust be .???' or a new public company <trT???' ?S?y of freighters Md represen- tatives of other interests. ThO DIrOPemi that the Ca?-dMF. Penarth, and IBRrry docks Mould be a-n?I?a?n?ted is ?etroTn. gly condemaed by coal exporters, who d'mlr'e to see the Present competition main- t-ained. n??"? the ???' of mumdoipal control is Ulliv-a,lly condemned, and Hie propocal to form & Public trust fa-Ha to find aa much support as the transfer of the undertaking to one of the railway companies named, it is generally egreed- that the present nego- tiations with the town, even if fruitless in a direct honse, may be very valuable sub- sequÐfiitly, the corporation will be placed in the possession of facts which will enable them to keep in touch with future action or negotiations in other directions. Of course, whatever change in the ownership of the Buta Docks is agreed upon, Parliamentary sanction will have to be obtained before it can become effective. The Cardiff Corpora- tion would appear either in favour or against the proposal, and, if for this reason only, the gathering of aU possible details io a wise step. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. I »mce Jhursday night's meeting, when, in I effect, the resolution passed was to aek for particulars of what the Marquess of Bute would sell, nothing has been done beyond the •ending of a letter to Sir W. T. Lewis, Bart &skiJng for this information, to which a I formal acknowledgment has been returned. It is probable that some days at least will elo,pse before anything further can be done, as it seems from the tenour of the remarks of tbe Lord Mayor on Thursday evening that ?e question of sale, except in the a-betra?. maB hardly been ??d,,red by the M-rqume and his advisers. WHOLE UNDERTAKING IN THE MARKET. .610£. 't- it ILnilolign u. nas not been defindtely stated, it 16 understood that practically the whole undertaking of the Cardiff Railway Com- pany is in the market. The Marquess of Bute owns considerably over half the capital expended, nearly 26,000,000, and has a con- trolling power in regard to the remainder. So far, however, nothing appears to be offered beyond the Bute Dophs and Railways, Ac-, as owned by the Cardiff Railway Com- pany. The Glamorganshire Canal is expressly excluded, and it is assumed that all royalties or other payments to the Marquess of Bale, gronnd rente, land, fore. Bhora rights, Ac., are not in it.

PURSER'S BRAVE DEED AT SEA: A.t Southampton on Saturday morning an flnteirestiing pfreeentation took place on bOll-rd the Uniioui Castle Miner Briton, in the of the w'0^e of the officers and crew o the oomPa;ny's officials in Lorndon and Mr. F. J. Mirrielees, a, partner im Messrs. DoBaM OuTrie and Co., and son- nt-law to Six Donald, piresented Mr. Hart, the purser, with the RoyaA Humane Society's medal and certificate for bravery in attempt- ling to rescue a lad who fell overboard near the Equator on May 23. Mr. Hart, at t.he time, was the purser om .the Waimer UaaWe, and, at the ory of "Man overboard I" without a. moment's hesitation, and not wai^ ting to djtvest hiimself of any of his olfothSmg, he plunged overboard to the) rescue. The sea. there is infested with sharks —a number had been seem om the previous dtay-amd a heauvy sea. was rumaiaig at the time. Mr. Mirrielees, in maJtung the presentation, said that, though, unfortunately, the purser's efforts were irnavaaifcg. that did not detract from the bravery of the deed. Mr. Haat made a suitable response, statamg that he only did his duty. Mr. Mirrielees PIqo referred to the gallant ftofcioa of Second-officer Attwool, who, with Bomie of the crew of the Briton, put out to a very rough sea on August 18, off the African coast, near East London, and succeeded in. rescuing the orew of the water-logged barque Cisr.lie68. »

I Disarming the Cubans. I IMMEDIATE DISPERSAL EXPECTED] HAVANA, Monday. The diplomatic body called at the palace en masse to-day to say good-bye to Senor Palma. The first considerable landing of American forces tqok place yesterday, when 450 Marines from the squadron in the harbour entrained here for Oienfuegos and other points, not on account of any actual trouble, but in onder j to exert a calming influence, since in certain; localities the feeling between the Govern- ment Volunteers and the ineurgents is intense. The first disarmament commission left last! night for the rebel camps in the vicinity of Puerto Principe; others will start to-day by, speciaa train for the province of Santa Claxa. The provisional Government does not expect even a considerable number of revolutionists to surrender their weapons, which are mostly the personal property of the soldiers,; but no doubt is entertained as to the imme- diate dispersal of the rebel forces. The disarmament of Government Volun- teers has already begun. Mr. Taft has conferred with the Cuban health officers with a. view of taking addi. tional measures against yellow fever, of which there are six cases in Havana. Mr. Taft has cabled to Senor Quasada, Cuban Minister in Washington, requesting him to r-esign.-Reuter. WASHINGTON, .Monday, The Navy Department announces the following movements of warships. The cruiser Desmoines has sailed from Cien- fuegoe for Santiago, and the cruiser Tacoma from Havana for Cienfuegoe. The cruiser Prairie has sailed from Boston, and the battleship Texas from Norfolk. Both are due to arrive at Havana on Thursday. The cruiser Brooklyn will sail to-morrow from Philadelphia, for Havana. All these warships will carry marines.-Reuter. MR TAFT AS TEMPORARY GOVERNOR I A wireless message was received at the War Department at Washington on Satur- day night from President Roosevelt ordering the despatch of 6,000 troops to Cuba, imme- diately. The American Provisional Government assumed possession of Cuba on Saturday, when Mr. Taft's proclamation declaring him- self Governor of the island was formally issued. The proclamation sets forth the failure of the Cuban Congress to act on the President's irrevocable resignation or to elect a succes- sor, thus leaving the country without a Government at a time when great disorder prevails. It requires that, pursuant to the request of Senor Palma, the necessary steps shall be taken by authority of the President of the United States to restore order and protect life and property, and for this pur- pose to establish a, provisional Government. The proclamation declares that all the execu- tive departments and the provincial and municipal governments are to continue to be administered as under the Cuban Republic. The courts are to administer justice, and all the laws, not in their nature inapphc. able, will remain in force. Mr. Taft drove in a motor-mr to the Palace and arranged to succeed President Palma, who said he was glad to be relieved of his burden and felt satisfied. Mr. Taft has received a letter from General Gomez and other conspiracy prisoners, representing that the insurgents had agreed to lay down their arms, and requesting the appointment of a Commission to arrange details. Mr. Taft has released all the con- spiracy prisoners and appointed a. Commis- sion, as requested. This is regarded as establishing a precedent in the proclamation of provisional Govern- ments and Protectorates.—B-euter. —" ——.—

Girl in the Canal. I CATHAYS MAN'S PLUCKY RESCUE I A domestic servant, named Mabel Walters, I aged nineteen, residing in Edward-terrace, Cardiff, is alleged to have jumped into the Glajmorgra-n Canal, near North-read, on San- day night, with the intention of committing suicide. A man named Joseph W. Evans was surprised to see a woman walking along the tow-path* and watched her, amd later saw her jump in. Evans shouted and attracted the attention of John Sullivan, living in Bertrami-shpeet, who, without hesi- tating, jumped into the canal, and, with some difficulty, rescued the girl, who was uncon- scious. At first her life was despaired of. However, Police-constable Jackson came on the scene and resorted to artificial respiration. and partially brought the girl to conscious- ness. He afterwards removed her to the Cen- tral Police-station, where Dr. J. J. Buist attended her. She was thence removed to the workhouse. Accused Remanded ) The case was oaNed upon at Cardiff Police- oourt to-day (before Messrs. J. W. H&Jlett amd Joseph Howard). Court-sergeant Price sadd the woman was unable to appear, and I a remand was granted until to-morrow.

GRENADIER'S COOL CONDUCTI Thomas Bradley (26), a private in the 2nd Battalion Grenadiers Guards, was charged at Clerkenwell with stealing four cigars, value Is. 2d., the property of Salmon and Gluck- stein (Limited). An officer of the regiment wotcbed the proceedings. James Geary, assistant to the prosecutors at Holborn, said that on Friday night the prisoner walked into the shop, picked up four cigars and walked out, remarking, I'm going to collar these." Witness followed him into the street and asked him to pay for the cigars or return them. He declined to do either. Police-constable Ambrose (228E) took Bradley into custody. He said to the constable, I wanted a smoke and hadn't any money. I'm not igoing to give the cigars back." Prisoner repeated the statement to the magistrate. Mr. Bros (to the regimental officer): Wbat character does he bear?—Bad. I suppose he had some object?—I'm not sure that he is quite right; he does some strange things. Mr. Bros: I shall discharge him from here, and leave the military authorities to deal with him.

SNEEZING AUDIENCES An unpleasant kind of practical joke has lately been played ait the Alliainbra and the Tivoii. It takes the form of a nasal irritant, which drifts about the theatre and sends the audience into paroxysms of sneezing. The nature of the irritant is unknown. Theories have been put forward to the effect that it is red peeper, .a. pungent snuff, or a form of tobacco. I believe myself that it is an old elee- tdaneerjng dodge, which was a favourite method years ago of silencing an opponent and his supporters," the manager of the Alhambra informed an Express represen- tative. it was composed of cotton wool, rolled up, and contained a quantity of red pepper. This ball, when set alight, does not flare up, hut smouidera and sends out fumes which cause incessant sneezing. "The people in the grand circle were the flreit sufferexe here. Their eyes became inflamed, tl-eir noses and throats began to burn, and they looked as if they were suf- fering from a severe influenza cold. We have detectives on the look-out now, and I can promise the jokers a warm time if they try their tricks again." The manager of the Tivoii has also employed detectives to waitoh for the mis- creants.

I CHILD ADOPTION TRICK 1 Reference to what is known to the police as the adoption fraud" was made at the Bow-street Police-court on Saturday, when George Brown and Gerhard Loeber were remanded on separate charges of obtaining money by false pretences. It was stated that for many years the system of frauid of the type of that with which the prisoners were accused, had been successfully carried, on. In many oases people have been induced to send an inquiry fee to cciver the exiJ^pas of investigation imto the respectability of the foster parents. Then they heard nothing 1 more of the matter,,

THE BALLOON RACEI FLEET OF AEROSTATS CROSS THE CHANNEL. Exciting Incidents Lost in a Fog The start of the international balloon ] race for the Gordon-Bennett Cup took place in the garden of the Tuiileries on Sunday afternoon. The filling of the balloons was completed at two o'clock, and in the presence of a large crowd the sixteen competing balloons ascended. The HOD. C. S. Bolls is one of the competitors .—Renter. A large balloon, believed to be one of those taking part in the race from Paris, passed over Gravesend this morning, travel- ling in a north-westerly direction. The two occupante were seen up in the netting above the car. The anchor was hanging down, but a long way from the ground. I Another message states that four balloons i passed from the Channel over Hastings this morning. riiho first balloon came down low, and a figure three could be seen on it. The Central News Hastings correspondent telegraphsThree large balloons, evidently competitors in the Gordon Bennett Cup race, passed over Hastings this morning, going north-east. The first was seen at 6.30, the second at 7 o'clock, and the third at 10.5. All were at a great height, and their distin- guishing flags could not be made out. One of the balloons was flying a French flag. Tbout seven o'clock this 'morning one of the competitors had an exciting ex-peri- ence at Alton. A thick fog hung over the 'town, and the rope caught in the wires in a hop garden. Getting free the balloon j sailed over the town. The rope then got entangled with the telegraph and telephone wires bringing them down. Then the rope i twisted round a chimney pot, but the balloon was released by the rope being out. It was soon lost again in the fog. VILLERS-SURMER, CALIADOS, Monday. Mr. Frank Hedges Butler, of the British I Aero Club, who piloted the balloon, City of London, accompanied by Mr. P. Spencer, found that he had lost his direction, and made a descent this morning half a. mile from the sea'at Blonville, sur-mer.—Beuter. A telegram, timed St. Leonard's, 10.20, reports a white balloon passing from the sea probably over Rye, and bound north. A balloon, presumed to be one from Paris, passed near Reading this morning. It came up from the south-west, and was proceeding in a northerly direction. It appeared to be going slowly, and was soon lost to sight in the fog.

Lady Lodger Frightened I DANGEROUS MAN SENT TO GAOL I Before Mr. Chester Jones, at the Clerken- well Sessions, on Saturday, Thomas Harry Lewis, 56, decorator, was convicted of having maliciously wounded Arthur Chapman. of Little Queen street, Kuutsford-place, Edg- ware-road. Mr. Wynne prosecuted. Prisoner lived in the prosecutor's house for a few weeks, but in consequence of his' mis- conduct Chapman told him, on the evening of September 14. that he would have to leave. This exasperated the prisoner, and after some argument he assaulted Chapman, who ran into the street. Lewis followed and catching him, stabbed him in the back. They fell to- gether on the the pavement, and two wit- nesses named Henry Duffey and John, Thomas Hunt rushed up, and seized the pri- soner's arm, and wrenched1 the knife a-way. Detective-sergeant Pullen said that the reason the prisoner was given notice was that the previous night he had broken into the room of a lady lodger and. armed with a poker, had stood over her as she lay in bed. After a. time he left the room, and re-appeared •with a knife, which he flourished and threatened to use on her if she diared to say anything to t'he landlord. The lady was so ffright,ened and upset by her experience tha-t efhe had! to remain in bed for a week. The 'prisoner, the officer added, was a most dan- gerous character, and had threatened to murder policemen on many occaeions. Inspector Blackburn proved that at the Central Criminal Court, in June 1898, prisoner was sentenced to nine months' hard Labour for the manslaughter of a man with whom he quarrelled in a. public-house. Since 1891 prisoner had also been seventeen times con- victed for drunkenness, assaults, threats, wilful damage, &0. Mr. Chester Jones said the prisoner was indeed a dangerous man, mud what' his ultimate fate would be no one knew. Prisoner would have to be imprisoned and kept to bard labour for two years.

GIRLS TORTURED IN CHURCH I An extraordinary scandal is reported from the isolated Alpine village of Obervaz, in the Gamiton of Grisons. The young unmarried women of the village between the ages of eiglhteen and twenty recently received an order by letter (says a Daily Mail" corresponderit) commanding them to appear before the village sexton, an elderly mail, to undergo the punishment of flagellation until the blood flows, for the great benefit of their souls." The letter was written by the sexton, who forged the signa- ture of the pastor. Without question or inquiries, the young women suffered shameful indignities after their promised silence had been obtained by threats. In the church vestry amd at the sexton's house the superstitious women were stripped and beaten until they were covered with blood. These scenee had been goin on1 for some week swhen the parents of one of the vic- tims discovered the truth and informed the police, who immediately arrested the sexton, who is accused of the most serious offences.

Water Polo, j WESTON v. LEIOESTER: RADMILOVIC IN GREAT FORM At the Westminster Baths, London. The meeting of the English and Midland Counties champions did not produce so good a game as had been expected, for from first to last it appeared as if the particular idea on the part of the players was to prevent those that were opposing them from showing good form. Perhaps the most interesting develop- ment was the endeavour of J. A. Jarvis to stop the speedy Radmilovic from getting away. To a certain extent he was successful, for, although Raddy" was served by his clubmen with such liberality that it appeared as if he was the mainstay of the side, he was, often spoilt" by the attentions of the Leicester crack. Still, Jarvis was not al- together succcseful, for of the six goals scored by Weston the Welsh International n.otohed all but two, which under the cir- cumstances was a very fine performance. Recently we described Radmilovic as the fastest and cleverest forward in the country, and if ever he had an opportunity of prov- ing it, he did so on Saturday -.ight.. Unfor, tunately, the tactics of the men spoilt the better features of the play, and as a result the character of the exchanges was rather scrambling. However, the better team won, but it was entirely due to Radmilovio. They led by four goals to two at half-time, and in the end won by six to four. Davey, Cecil Stradling, and Radmilovic (4), scored for the .winners, and Ross (2), Snow, and Jarvis for Leicester. The Weston team were much ham- pered by the olat1,ention that was paid to Radmilovic, yet his brilliancy asserted it- self, and in the end he scored four goals. It was, without doubt, quite one of the Welsh- man's best performaucee, for we have never seen a player so well looked after." Weeton won" and on the play deserved the victory, but it was a game won by one man. —" Biportman." M ■ ■ ii in.i..

"Freelance" on Railways1 TEN YEARS' DEVELOPMENTS I Following up the question of railways, it will not be uninteresting to show their development during the past ten years. Few people (writes Freedanoe") have any idea of the vast capital expended and the huge I amount of revenue on the railways of the United Kingdom. It is too great a taek to go back in detail to the days of the "Rocket," but a comparison as indi- cated during the past decade will give some idea. of the immensity of the subject. The length of lines in the United Kingdom in 1896 was 21,277 miles; this had increased in 1905 to 22,847-a,n increase of 1,570 miles. The total capital invested in 1896 was £ 1,029,475,335; in 1906 it had increased by £ 153,325,600. What is known as watered stock stood at the enormous figure in 1896 of which by 1905 had increased to £194,341,2.39. The total number of passengers carried in 1896, exclusive of season ticket-holders, was 980,339,433, which, by 1905, had increased to 1 1,199,022,102. Probably the weights of goods an-dminemls are tthe most interesting figure of all, beoauee they so clearly indicate the great economical changes that are taking place on our rail- ways. Here the big engines speak out with- out any assistance, and show the mighty changes effected. In 1895 the total of goods and minerals carried was 356,468,000 tons; in 19C5 this had increased to 461,-39,023. Since 1896 goods and mineral train mileage has decreased nearly three million miles, but tonnage increased nearly 105 million tons. If the goods and mineral traffic carried in 1905 had been handled in the same way as in 1900, 40 million more train miles would have been run and 2,222 more engines used. It will thus be seen»how seriously this economic change is atfectinig the locomotive men. Averaging two men and one boy to each engine, it will be seen that there are less loooanotive men employed by nearly 9,000; hence the agita,tion by the railway servants to effect a remedy by the shortening of the 'hours of labour, in consequence of the in- creased ment.all and physical strain. Coming to the expenditure and profits, we have some startling figures. The total revenue in 1896 amounted to 190,119,122; in 1905 it had increased to £ 113,531,019. The ex- penditure in 1896 amounted to £ 50,192,424; in 1905 it had increased to £ 70,064,663. The total profit was, therefore, in 1896 £ 39,926,698; but in 1905 it had increased to £ 43,466,356. It is a striking fact that, whilst the railway com- panies have made several millions more Profit, they carried 106 million more tons of goods in 1905 than 1900 at a less cost in locomotive men's wages of £ 88,228. The railways lay a very important part in our commercial enterprise- The effect of rates, both in goods, mineral, and passengers, has immense influence on not only our Import and export trade, but on distribution at home. One can only get at tihe real facts by comparing the rates in other countries with our own. This at once shows the great dis- advantage of our farmers, manufacturers, and shopkeepers. That the question of the railways will have to be deait with at no distant date in such a way as to make them a help in competition with other countries, and not, as at present, a hindrance, is a point I will deal with in my next articles.

"White Slaves" in Court I SHOCKING ALLEGATIONS I Henry Booilanger, 30, a French sufbject, living at Steradaile-road, Shepherd's Bush, wae charged at West London on Saturday with conspiring with Gustav Chamber]en (not in custody) to procure Jea,nette Le Gros, aged nineteen, for immoral purfioeee. Kitty Heinen, nineteen, stated she had been in domestic service at several places, her last pflace being at a. shop in Hampstead-road. She first met prisoner three years ago at the cluibs with Ohamberden. She had been to t'he house in BOlingbrok,-Toad. A few days after Sunday, July 1, she saw Jeanette Lie Gsfos in the house for the first time. She saw the prisoner and Jeanette come downstairs together, and the prisoner intmdtoced Jeanette to her a8 his sweet- heart, telling1 her thait was the first time he had been in,tian,a,te with her. She often saw Jeanette at the house after that that day. She had oponed the door of the house to couples at the suggestion, of Oham- berien,, and gentlemen had called at the bouse for Jeanette. The latter did not happen to be in. the house, and two of the gentlemen were intimate with her. Cham- heailen took all the money she received. She was afterwards brought to the court and signed an iafomnatton. Mr. Bodkin: And where did yon go after that, baea/use you disappoaxed? The witness said she met Jeamette, and they drove in a cab to Boliim gbroke-road. She saw Chamber-ten amd the prisoner, amd Chatn- berfen, Jeanette, and she went to Ctetend. The prisoner gave Jeanette xz Iflfe. to pay the fa- ea. At Ostend they lived in a. house in the Boulevard de Midi, and a week later the prisoner joined them, amd then she and Jeanette brought men to the house. Jeanette Le Gros, living at Mabledon-place, Euston-road, said she first met the prisoner in the "Tube" at Shepherd's Bush. He smiled at her in the lift, and afterwards spoke to her in the train.. They both got out at Oxford-circus and went to a public- house in Newman-street, where he treated her to a glass of cider. He made an appoint- ment to meet her, and he took her to have tea, at the house in Bolingbroke-road, where he seduced her. He promised to marry her, and asked her to become engaged to him. The prisoner said the house was his, and that if she liked she could become mistress of it. Afterwards Boulanger asked her to live with him, and on June 14 she left her employment and went to live at Bolingbroke-road. una,mnerien lived m the house, and the prisoner used to come in the afternoon and stay until half-past twelve. French, German, and English women used the house, and the witness used to open the door to them at Boulanger's orders^ Boulanger took all the money she received from gentlemen at the house. On hearing there was a warrant out for Chamberlen's arrest they went to Ostend, the prisoner giving Ohamberlen money for the fares. At Oetend she continued her immoral life. After Boulanger left Ostend she met a tailor, "an honest man," and he paid her board and lodging, and she no longer led an immoral life. In answer to Mr. Pierron, the witness said before she went to live with Boulaager ehe knew the house was a bad house, but the reason she went there instead of staying ait h was that she expected the prisoner to marry her. The ma-gistrate committed the prisoner for trial.

Gasped and Died. I PAINFUL INCIDENT AT PORTHCAWL f Mr. Howell Outhbertson held an inquest at Porthcawl this morning on the body of the late Mr. Robert Griffiths, of Garth, Maesteg, who died suddenly on Friday morning. Miss Griffiths identified the body as that of her late father, who was 52 years of age, and was a carpenter by trade. He entered the Rest on Wednesday. He had been ill for four months previously, having suffered from influenza, which affected his heart. David Bees, another inmate of the Rest, said deceased sat next to him in the day room. Deceased complained of the heat, and shortly after gasped once or twice and died. Dr. Alexander attributed death to heart trouble, and a verdict accordingly wae returned.

Great Britain and Russia ALLEGED AGREEMENT DENIED I From an authoritative source I learn (says the "Times" St. Petersburg correspondent) that the reports emamating from St. Peters- burg in reference to the imminent conclu- sion of an, Anglo-Russia in agreement are devoid of any foundation. It may be added that the alleged clause providing for the passage of wiarsfoips througth the Dardanelles and Bosipihorus could not possibly be nego- tiated between Great Britain and Russia, since this question ooneerns all the Powers who were parties to the Treaties of Parie and Berlin, not to speak of Turkey. The report in question stated that there was reason to hope that common ground had been found for an agreement on Asiatic policy betweem Russia and Great Britain, particularly in Tibet and Persia, and that the next Persian loam was to be jointly nego- tiated between Russia and England. The report suggested that atft-etr the new conven- tion had been ratified the question of the Near East would be reached, and when this was settled Russian warships would be no longer excluded from the Dardanells.

Cardiff Youth's Despair! OUT OF WORK AND TAKES POISON 1 Sweetheart's Distressing Story I A labourer named Henry Vincent, aged seventeen, lodging at 7, Ordeil-street, East; Moors, Cardiff, with Mr. Frederick Milford,: went upstairs about 10.45 o'clock on Satarr-; day night, apparently to go to bed, but: shortly a-fterwairds groans were heard pro-. oeeding from his bedroom, and he was found j lying unconscious on the bed, with a bottle, I which had contained carbolic acid, in his I band. The police and Dr. Howard were sum- moned, a.nd the man died shortly after- j wards. Mrs. Miliford, in an interview, said: Vin- cent had been out of work for some time when he came to me. He had no mother, and I told him that he could have a, home with me. You see, my daughter was his; sweetheart, and he used to always oall me mother. He has of late been employed a.t ( Bradshaw's yard, a.nd last Monday evening he came home and aaid, Mother, I've been j stopped for a couple of days.' I replied, That won't hurt you, I expect; you will soon get some work again.' On Wednesday he worked a full day, and on Thursday three-quarters; then he was stopped, and was gloomy and silent, and I told him not to worry about it. He g:ave me 8s. on Saturday, and I asked him if he would like lB. back. He said, No, I can manage.' On Saturday there was a funeral at a neighbour's named Mr. Powell, and he and my daughter were there, and they returned home in the evening and sat in the kitchen. After drinking a bottle of lemonade my daughter got up and went to do some errands for Mrs. Powell and asked Vincent if he was coming, and he replied, "All right, Nance; I'll be there presently." That was all that happened. They never qu<arralied." Continuing, Mrs. Milford said the carbolic acid was bought for disinfecting purposes. One day Vincent found the bottle, and, holding it up, said, "Carbolic acid I Wouldn't Kill a Man" I a.nd after her assuring him that it would he said, Let me, try." She told him not to be silly and took the bottle from him and hid it in the back kitchen. He evidently dis- covered it afterwards, as he went into the back kitchen just before going to bed. Mrs. Milford also spoke of two previous occasions when he had threatened to take his life because he was out of work and was tired of life. The only reason she could suggest for his taking his life now was that work was slaok, and he feared that he had. been dismissed. Mies MilifoTd, the deceased's sweetheart, who was present during the interview, and whose eyes and general appearance showed that the suicide of her sweetheart had occa- sioned her much grief, confirmed the state- ments of her mother. She said they had never quarrelled, and when asked eo specifi- cally, she shook her head and said, The only thing he said was, What do you want to go there again for? Why can't you stop here with, me?' I said, 'You come along, too, Henry,' and he replied, 'AU right; I'll be bhere in a minute.' That's all that occurred." The remembrance of this inci- dent brought tears to Miss Milfords eyes.

UNKNOWN SHIP ON FIRE I The master of the Norwegian barque Fomjot, which arrived in the Tyne yester- day, gave an accoomt 0( am exciting expe- rience midway between Norway and Shields, which gives rise to the fear that a serious shipiang disaster has occifned in the North Sea. At eight o'clock on the morning of yester- day week a vessel, believed to be a Russian schooner, was sighted, burning furiously. The captain of the Fornjot bore down on her, 001, her name could not be read owing to the volumes of smoke rising from the ship's holds. There were no signs of the crew on boa.rd. The unknown vessel was partly digmert-d, and had every appearance of having experienced tempestuous weather. The seamen of the Fornjot attempted to board the vessel, but were quickly driven back by the flames, and all efforts to traoe the name of the strange derelict were futile. Quantities of other wreckage were seen float- ing about, which suggests that a, disaster has J itifcfiia pgftoe.

Colliers & Non-Unionists NOTICES HANDED IN TO-DAY I The campaign against the employment of non-Unionists in the mines was opened in the Rhondda. District to-day, when notices were handed in by the Federationists employed at all the Great Western collieries, Pontypridd, with the exception of the Mari. it time; Meiros, Llanharran; House Coal Colliery, Trehavod, and the Dowlais Colliery, Abercynon, all of which are in the Bhondda j No. 2 District. Notices were also handed in by the miners I employed at Messrs. Insoles, Cymmer; the JJwis Merthyr Colliery, Trehavod, and the j Albion Colliery, Cilfynydd. j It is understood that wherever the local lodge roll has been fully made up the lodge oom- inittee have the right to abstain from handing in notices, and where subsequent to the hand- j ing in of the notices such a clearance may be effected the lodge officials may withdraw j the notices after they have been given. It is i stated that where numbers of men had not I toed the line until Friday and Saturday last the rush to pay up, so as to avoid com- plications, was quite surprising. I

White Shirt Parades NINE FEDERATIONISTS FINED I The Maesteg strike cases, adjourned from the previous week, came on for hearing at Bridgend on Saturday, before Mr. R. W. Llewellyn and other magistrates. David Saunders was summoned for using thteats in Oaerau-road on September 4 with intent to Pint a person in fear; David Williams was summoned for a similar offence in Caerau- road on September 5, and also for obstruct- ing Police-sergeant Da vies; Trevor Lewis, James Davies, Philip Lewis. William Henry Griffiths, and Richard Lewis were summoned for using insulting language in Gaetle- street on September 8. with intent, and for obstructing the thoroughfare after being asked to desist; David Jenkins was also summoned for using insulting language, and John Jenkins was charged with obstructing the police. Mr. T. J. Hughes appeared to prosecute for the chief-constable, and Mr. J. Sankey (instructed by Mr. Evan E. Davies, solicitor to the Maesteg Miners' Association), was for the defence. The case againet David Saunders was taken first. Police-constable Walter Kelland started tha-t in Caerau-road, Oaerau, at 11.30 p.m. on September 4 he saw a crowd of about 500 people walking in procession. In the foreground wae a man named David Jenkins, led by the defendant Saunders. The crowd was hostile; some were shouting Pay the Federation," and other were booing. Witness asked Saunders to let the man go, and he replied, He will have to pay the Federation before he goes." A Wife Appeals to the Crowd I By Mr. Sankey: He saw Jenkins after- wards, and he made no complaint. Jenkins had been served with a witness's summons, but was not present, and they could not find him. Police-constable Parry said he heard Jenkins's wife appealing to the crowd to let her husband go. Mr. Sankey said he would not call evidence, and he submitted that according to the bye-law under which the sum- monses were taken a case had not been made out. Jenkins was seen by a police-officer within 24 hours of the oocasion, when there was no crowd to frighten him and when there was no question of his giving evidence at that court, and he then made no complaint. The Chairman announced that a majority of the magistrates were of opinion that there had been a breach of the bye-law, and Saunders would be fined 92 and bound over to be of good behaviour. "To the River, Boys!" I The charges against David Williams were taken next. Police-sergeant Bees Davies eta-ted that about ten o'clock at night on September 5 he was in Oaerau-road, with Police-constable Kelland, when he saw a. crowd, a.bout 300 strong, coming towards him, headed by the defendant and another man, who were lead- ing a man named Frederick Roberts. The crowd were very angry, shouting and booing, and rushing Boberts along. Roberts called out, I want you to stop the crowd t?tdOB oat, Witness asked WilIiMBa and ?? other me. man to release their hold, and the other man did eo, but Williams refused. Witness took hoM of Roberts, but Williams tried to get him away, and shouted, To the river, boys." Witness appealed to the crowd, and pulled Roberts away. The crowd had now increased to about tiOO. After going a little wa.y with Boberts Williams dashed towards them, used filthy language, and said, Don't let the take him, boys." A summons had been served on Roberts, but he had left the district. By Mr. Sankey: The affair lasted about twenty minutes. Boberts was frightened and a, little exhausted, bnt there were no marks of violence on him. Mr. Sankey said he could not conceal from himself that this was a more serious charge than the last, but tjhey were told defendamt was under the influence of drink. Williams was found guilty of both offences, and there being a previous conviction for assaulting the police, he was fined E2 for each offence and bound over. A White Shirt Procession" I The remaining cases against seven defen- dants were taken together. Inspector Sansome described a procession in which William Ellis, an old man. gured. He was wearing a white shirt and a white hat trimmed with red and blue colours (pro- duced). As soon as witness got near Ellis said, "I want protection from this howling mob. They will pull me to pieoes." He looked very distressed and very pale. Wit- ness and Police-sergeant Davies caught hold of him, and immediately John Jenkins also took hold of him, and shouted, "Now, boys, don't let the go." He and Davies were hustled about for five minutes before the crowd would let Ellis go. By Mr. Sankey: No one but John Jenkins had hold of Ellis, and none of the other defendants used violence, though they were all ringleadera. Old Man's Pathetic Story I William Ellis said he was 63 years of age. He was a member of the Federation, and had been ever since it was established, but he had not paid his subscriptions to date. On the 8th of September he went to Coegnant Colliery, but was unable to work. and returned. When he reached the street there were 100 men waiting for him, including all the defendants. Jenkins got hold of him by his arms, and the others hustled him. He was thrown down on his left side, and his hip joint had been bad ever since. Then they threw his box of food and his water-can into the river. Some of them raised him up and carried him on their shoulders face down- wards. They took him towards Nantyffyllon Institute, and on the way he lost a valuable watch, which he had had for many years. At Castle-street they held a "council of war" in the vernacular. Then they procured the white shirt and hat, and put them on him. He was then marched up to Monkey Island (the top of the valley, about three miles dis- tant) and back again through different streets. Someone gave him a severe blow on the head. He was in their hands alto- gether for three hours before being rescued by the polioe. Witness's clothe*; were torn, and whilst he was being marched about some of them were kicking him and thumping him. By Mr. Sankey: He had been working ever since the affair. Richard Lewis put the white shirt on him, but afterwards be did not ill- treat him. The Bench fined Trevor Lewis, Richard Lewis, James Davies, and Philip Lewis 92 each; William Henry Griffiths (against whom there was a previous conviction) and John Jenkins L3, and David Jenkins 91. All the defendants were bound over. The charges of obstruction were dismissed. M f -.—

FROM WEDDING TO BOXING CONTEST Syd Ruseell, the young Cheltenham boxer, was married on Saturday last at Tredegar to Miss T. Coleman, of Merthyr, sister to the well-known Welsh boxer, Bedmond Cole- man, of Merthyr, ex-9st. 61b. champion of England and South Wales. Straight from the wedding ceremony Rcasell journeyed to Newbridge (Monmouth- shire) to fight Joe Knight, of Aberavon, the Welsh heavy-weight pugilist, late of the Guards, beet of ten rounds. After a good fight, before a large audience, Russell gained the verdict, stopping his man in the ninth round. The same evening a match was made bet- ween oan Jordan (Abertillery) and Syd Russell, the beat of twenty rounds for £25 aeide.

ELECTION SEQUEL.) A WELL KNOWN SPORT I SUMMONED U0 nder the Corrupt Practices Act At Oxted Police-court to-day. (before Mr. Garland Soper and other magistrates), Robert R. Fowler, clerk and manager to the Lingfield Bace Course, appeared to answer summonses under the Corrupt Practices Act, in relation to the last general election. Mr. Muir prosecuted for the Treasury. Mr. Lewis Coward, K.C., and Percival Hughes defended. I' The clerk read the summons which charged defendant with dismissing Robert Taylor, clerk and surveyor, John Hood, cloak-room attendant, and William Richardson, carpen- ter, on account of their vote at the Reigate election, and with using undue influence. Mr. Muir said the offence was indictable, and if a prima case was made out defendant must go to the assazes. The offence alleged took place in January. One of the nomina- tors of the Liberal candidates at the Beigate Election was Hoo5. Next day defendant met Hood, and said, j "Surely you are not going to vote for Mr. Brodie." Hood replied that he thought of doing so. Fowler said, "then you are going against the interest of the racecourse. I Surely you known which side your bread is buttered." Hood said he did not know I that, and Power replied, it is when (Proceeding.)

I Mr Chamberlain I I I  ? GRAVE NEWS ABOUT HJSGONDmON 1 The London correspondent of the "Western í Mail" has on several occasions indicated j that the illness of Mr. Chamberlain is more ■ serious than the reports authorised by members of the family would lead the public i i to believe, and events have tended to con- i i firm his special information, notwithstand- ¡ 11 ing persistent details. A Sunday paper ¡ now announces, with regret and a full sense of responsibility, that there is little, if any, I hope that Mr. Chamberlain will ever again j I take any part in public life. Immediately after the Birmingham birth- < day celebrations," says our contemporary, when Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain had come to Prince's Gardens, the former was dressing i for dinner. His prolonged absence caused j Mrs Chamberlain to go to his room, where II she found him in an insensible condition. Since then he has been practically j unconscious all the time. He has been | deprived of the power of speech, and, in fact, the only person he has given any indication of having recognised is an old servant of I thirty years' standing. "It is a matter of some importance in this connection that, notwithstanding that several doctors have been in daily attend- ance upon him for the last few months, no medical bulletin has been issued." A Birmingham correspondent, telegraph- ing on Sunday night, says :-The wild MlIDOnn; which are in circulation concern- ing Mr. Chamberlain's health are entirely at variance with the reports from Highbury. The right han. gentleman was out on Sunday, and the fine weather which prevails enables him to spend a good deal of time in the open air. Mr. Austen Chamberlain stated that his father was out regularly for weeks before he left London, and he had been out regularly since. He spends several hours daily about the grounds of Highbury or driving farther afield. Mr. Austen Chamberlain again added that his father's condition had never given cause for anxiety.

111 the Forecastle Holdi "I STOLE THE BAG." I Before the Cardiff magistrates to-day Henry (Yoonnor (26) and James King (32) were oharged with stealing a canvas bag, containing a quantity of clothes, etc., valued at £.5, the property of Harold Jack- eon. The latter is cook on board the steam- ship Taunton, anow lying in the Boath Basin. He left his bag on the forcastle hold and went into town, and on his return the bag was nowhere to be found. Upon that he gave information to the pofice, and pri- soners were arrested, King wearing a hat which prosecutor claimed to be his.-Dock- constable Donovan described the move- ments of the men in the vicinity and the circumstances under which he took them into custody. On being charged King made no reply. (yOonnor, however, became vio- lent, and said, "I have just met this man" 4 (meaning King). With assistance witness- secured the man. On the way to the station King said, "My mate knows nothing about j it. I stole the bag of clothes and will show you where I put it." The bag was found hidden under a heap of stones not far from the ship.—The magistrates sent the case to the quarter sessions.

NEWPORT MAN'S BROKEN LEG ] While a young man named William Upton, living aA 2, Wyudbam-street, was walking through the barrack fields at Newport on Saturday night, and crossing a. dip between the two fields, he accidentally stumbled and, falling, broke one of his legs. He was re- moved to the Newport and County Hospital and detained.

T ramwaymen's Charities I "NOTHING TO DO WITH CORPORATION" I i Mr. Joseph Stanfield raised a question, at a meeting of the Cardiff Corporation Finemce Committee this morning relative to the voluntary subscriptions of the tramwaymen to a. benevolent fund having been recently dropped. Mr. ATloook (city treasurer) sadd he knew nothing about it. Mr. Stanfiedid said that the fund had been in existence so long that the men were up im arms when they found that no provision had been made, as usual, for deducting certain sums out of their wages. He was speaking more especially in the interests of charities. The infirmary, for instance, received E50, amd the Nurses' BODle also benefited. Mr. Courtis contended that it was not a matter for that committee or amy other, amd the Ohairmxun said tha-t corporation clerks Should have nothing to do with it. The Chairman ruled the disused on out of order, and the matter dropped.

CITY COUNCIL AND INFIRMARY I A letter was read from Mr. Rea, the secre- tary of the Cardiff Infirmary, at a meeting of the Cardiff Corporation Finance Com- mittee to-day in regard to the claim of the corporation to be represented on the iftr- smary management oosmmittee by virtue of IbedBig annual subscribers of ZOO guineas. Mr. Bea pointed out t'hat such representation would be oontrary to the rules of the insti- tution, and tha.t several members of the city council were already on the committee as private subscribers. Mr. Courtis said there was a way out of the difficulty, and sub-committee was appointed to meet representatives of the iuflnmary committee in a fortnight hence.

Starters and Selections NOTTINGHAM, Monday Morning, An appreciable difference was noticed in the attendance at Windsor on Saturday, pre- enmJbabJy owing to the Jewish fast, but still the holiday pwbdie displayed great ourioesty to see the Oesarewitch favourite, Nocbniform, under silk in the Boyail Borough HajMticap, and the crowd was a fairly leurge one. There was leas mist im. the Windsor district tten im other parts of the Thames VaJl-ey, amd the light W'3B not at ail bad when the big event wae decided. There was. of course, a rush im the paddock to see the New Zea-kuictar. As he looked thoroughly trained, the piiungere had no hesitation in laying odds on him, and great was the comstemation when it wae seen that he was in hopeLeee diffioultiee five fur- lotoge from home. Sucoour was fancied 'n, a quiet way, and Eaudual, having instructions to,find out if there was amy flaw im Noctui- farm's aamour, wemt away at a eprimtamg pace. From the start Snooour was always deaz*. and it wae in a canter that he soared from St. Day and Love Chaarm. It may be poaaible that Noctuifonn did not give his true running, but be is bound to see a long ptqce for the Oesarewitch. There will. be a. surfeit of ratting during the present week, though I am afraid that without ram fields will rule email, although the number of arrivals in to-day's card at Nottingham is fairly numerous.
