Roberts-Jones) held an inquest at Chriet- church, near Newport, on Monday as to the death of George Parker (38). a labourer, of 42, Downing-street, who whilst working at the Biehpool Brickworks On Saturday slipped and fell into a deep tank, which had 10ft. of water in it. Albert Smith, who was working not far from where Papker was pulling down a wall, heard a splash and a cry. He saw Parker rise once to the surface of the tank, but after he had got a ladder and lowered it all trace of the poor fellow had gone. Police-constable Ball, of the county con- stabulary, was sent for, and he, with the assistance of some of the men working there, got the body out. The jury found that it was an accidental drowning. Parker was a married man, and leaves nine children.

COLLIER'S BODY IN A FEEDER A shocking discoverey was made at New Tredegar on Monday. Alderman N. Phillips, the agent of the Powtlll-Duffryn Collieries, instructed some men to clean out the feeder which supplies the East and West Elliott Collieries, and this was being done when the body of a man was found. From its decomposed appearance, it had ,evidently been in the water for at least a couple of months, and there was absolutely nothing in the pockets of the clothes to leall to identification. The police were communicated with, and they found that the body was that of a man, named William Davies, aged 25, a col- lier, who lodged at 2, Alexandra-road, New Tredegar. According to a medical man, Davies, who was a Nortili Walian and had relatives at Blaenavon, was of rather an eccentric turn of mind.

TO HELP THE BIND Lord Mayor Attends Salof Work The annual sale of work lrconnection with the Blind Institute of ardiff was opened on Monday by Mr. Versni Hill- The Lord Mayor (Councillor W. S crossman), Mr. W. T. Loveridge, Mr. Tathn Thompson, and others were also present-lir. Vernon! Hill, who declared the sale ten (in the absence of Mrs. Vernon Hiil, ho is indis- po&ed), said the institution id been in existence for forty years, anflduring that time a great deal had been da to improve the condition of the blind pe{)e in Cardiff. At present it contained fort-yiorkers, who were chiefly employed in makif baskets and caning chairs. The work of he institute, however, ought to be better upported by the public, and he pointedout that at present there was an overdrt of £ 150. The Lord Mayor said that, mrteen years a.go he would never have dUmt of being a.ble to stand before them chief magis- trate of the city. He was glt to say that, following the example of thEformer educa- tion authority, the present bty had contri- buted £ 50 each year tovvari carrying on technical teaching at the iititution. He felt that the people of Crdiff did not support the institution as tily ought. The Lord Mayor then visitl the workers, and made a sympathetic rsrenoe to their affliction, after which the blil workers gave three hearty cheers for the lOrd Mayor. Mr. W. T. Loveridge mentiaed that it was their object to e-sta-bligh a rdentia1 inatitu- tion. i

LORD MAYOR AND THE DRINK EVIL I A temperaTle convention was held at the Wesley getilodist Church, Charlee-street, I Cardiff, on Monday, and in the evening the Rev. J. Alfred sharp, of London, lectured to a large congregation on temperance. Tho Lord Mayor (Councillor W. S. Croseman) pre- sided. The Lord Mayor made sympathetic refer- ence to the death of the Rev. Bourne Jones. He felt tb4t Cardiff was the poorer for the loss. It ^'as a pleasure to him to preside over such a meeting, and he thanked God I for the l^Hver to resist the temptation of drink. As ohief magistrate and a member of the 1)()aLrd of guardians, he was able to unders-tanc} the people he lived among, and he knew that that evil was the outcome of drink- He hoped that they would go from that meeting with a stronger determination to lessen the great curse of drink. They ought to be PrOnd of the work they had taken up. TernP«rilh>ee was the salvation of body and soul- Tlie Rev. Alfred Sharp, in a rousing address, said he appeared before them as a red-hot, fanatical teetotaler. The only remedy for the evils of the present day was ,otal oibstinerioe. The drink trade was an enemy to GOd. There was no power wbioh defrauded labour more than the drink traffic.

CARDIFF PANOPTICON. Under the management of Mr. Tetiow. the Cardiff panopticon in St. Mary-street hue of late advanced by leaps and mounds as a popular place of entertainment. The hail waS n<>'ain full on Monday night, and a splendid programme is provided. There is again a complete change of sut jccts. A feature ot the evening was a, pretty song nicely rendered by Little Ruth Walters, billed as "the wonderful child vocalist." By special request, the pictorial version of Following in Father's Footsteps" will be shown during the week. The programme included a number of humorous items, the best, perhaps, being "How the Time Plies!' and Caught in a Trap." Popular piotnre songs were rendered by Miss Ada Feare and Messrs. Reg. Williams and Gwilym Naish, whilst other musical items were excellently given by Mifti Hetty Hocking.

"WE DID IT FOR FUN" The Wharfside Tragedy. CARDIFF YOUTHS IN COURT, j The Cardiff Stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) to-day resumed the hearing of evidence in the obairge of "wilfully killing and slaying George Henry Fortt, preferred against Robert Edgar Griffiths, 19, and Richard Groom, 21, who were remanded in custody on the same charge on the 5th inst. It will be remem- bered that the tragedy took plaoe outside the York Hotel, on the East Wharf, Cardiff, where the body of Fort was found, with the base of the skull fractured. Mr. Ensor appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sydney Jenkins for the prisoners. The evidence given, at the inquest, and fully reported in the "Evening Express" at the time, wal3 repeated, amongst the witnesses called by the police being Thomas Edwards, (25, Howe 1 l-v-jtrcet; Ga-thernie Thomas, Lo'udoun-square; Susan lionvells, Mary Ann- street; Martin Crowell, 24, South Church- et.reet; Mary Jane Williams, Millicent-street-; and Bridget Palmer and the polioe-oftioere. who were cicely crose-examined by Mr. Jenkins. George EJMott. Humphrey-Street-, sdMl he met the prisoners ?n Bute-treet on the night of the tragedy. GriHiths said to witness: I and Dicky Groom have just given a man a h- of an oiling outside the York Hotel. Witness asked what they did it for, a-nd Griffiths replied: We Did it for Fun." Mr. Jenkins did not ask this witness a.ny QUe{,1.0llS. Police-constable Payne said that when h, e charged prisoners with the crime both denied ,all knowledge of the matter. oiicc-constable -Art.bony Evans said t-liat. on the 5tli Groom knocked at the door of his cell, and said "I want your advice on what I am charged with." Witness went into the cell, and cautioned him, whereupon Groom said: "I went to call Susan Howell who was with me at the time I came out of the York Hotel, followed by Griffiths. Fortt came out of the door and passed a remark to Ho wells, which I did not catch. I pushed him on one side, and then he called me a bastard and sparred out at one, and to make sure I gave him the first punch, and as I punched him he fell baoCk into the road. I saw a lady and gentleman. I said to them, Did you see him insult my young lady?' They advised me to go home, a.nd I went. I heard no more until I was arrested." Mr Ensor informed the Stipendiary that Dr. Bittet was ill, and would not be able to attend to give evidence until the beginning of next week. The Stipendiary remanded prisoner's until Friday next at eleven o'clock, remarking t,hat he could further remand them if the doctor could not then attend Mr Jenkins: Will you entertain the ques- tion of bail for Griffiths at this juncture, eir. The Stipendiary: No. r I

I WeretheChitdrenThereP 1 CURIOUS PENGAM CASE The prosecution of Gwilym Parry, of Pen- gam, by the school managers of Gellygaer at Caerphilly Police-court to-day was note- worthy from the fact that Mrs. Parry com- p?ined to t)he authorities that the teasers of Gilfach Bargoed ill-treated her children. That complaint was investigated by the local board of managers, and Mr. T. C. Jones, the headmaster, and two teachers were exone- rated. The peculiar feature was that Reee Saunders, the attendance officer, now alleged, and based the prosecution upon it, that the children were actually absent upon one of days that they were ali-eged to have been ill- treated. Mr. C. S. Goodfellow defended, armed wit-q a. "Western Mail" cutting of the proceedings before the managers. The attendance of Jonwy, aged five, was four out of 60, and that of Blodwen, aged six, was also four out of 60. Mr. Goodfellow asked if the parents received warning in writing, and was told that they did. The advocate oloeely questioned the wit- ness Saunders to shake the statement that the children had not been to school since September 19, but the echool official was firm, and retorted that statements by Mr. Parrj ¡ were not to be credited. Mr. Goodfellow (sharply): How do you know their statements are false? Mr. Saunders: Because it was proved so at the board of mianagefs' inquiry. Eventually the case was adjourned for a fortnight to enable the defence to call the scthoohnistrees in order to prove that the children were in school after the date I named.

SWALLOWED CARBOLIC ACID I Painful Scene in Court I Catherine Bowden, a young girl, the daughter of William Bowden, labourer, of 47, Habershon-street, Moors, was charged (.before the Cardiff magistrates) to-day with taking carbolic acid in a attempt to commit suicide. The poor girl was in great grief, sobbing profusely. She was in an enfeebled condi- tion, and evidently also in much pain. She was accommodated with a seat, and was in charge of a female attendant. Mrs. Alice Crowley, a sister, living at the same address, deposed that on November 5 she went to prisoner's bedroom and a-ked her why she stopped out late. After that they went to the back bedroom, where [prisoner said she would give her the brooch she had promised her. Then, before witness could realise it, prisoner had the bottle to her mout'h. Her sister became ill; witness was frightened, and sent for a doctor. Dr. J. J. M'Gregor said prisoner had evi- dently taken carbolic acid. She was in great pain, and in a state of collapse. Police-constable Gurney said prisoner had since been to the workhouse infirmary. Prigon?-r's toauiit from Newport stepped for- ward and said she was willing to take charge of her niece, to take her to Newport, and to aooept all responsibility. Under those circumstances accused was discharged. She tearfully undertook to accompany her aunt.

Soccer Club Sued, EBBW VALE PRINTERS' ACCOUNT At Tredegar County-court to-day (before his Honour Judge Owen) Messrs. Poole and Sons, printers, Ebbw VaJe, sued the committee of the old Ebbw Vale Asaooiaticn Football Cinb for f 19 17s. 6d. for printing. The defendants wore John Cameron, C.

When tha case was called on, his Honour asked for the porsons who gave the orders, and whether the orders were given in writing. Mr. Hughes: Yes. His Honour: Where ie the order. Is there any dispute aibout the work being done? Mr. Spencer: No, sir. As far as my clients are concerned they admit liability, but they say the others ought to assist, them. Mr. Dan Haris said that the other defen- dants did not admit liability. His Honour: Why ? Mr. Harris: They say they were not members of the committee, having resigned. His Honour: Where are the order*? A bundle of printed matter was handed up, which his Honour said was no good. Then written matter was produced, irom which (Proceeding.)

LITTLE GIRL STRANGLED And Thrown into a Pond. The body of a little girl who had evidently been strangled and thrown into the water was recently found in a pond on the road between Heveringham and Peasenhall, Suf- j folk. At the opening of the inquest on Monday the child was identified as having been tempor- arily an inmate of the Bnlcamp Workhouse, and the police searched for the parents. These were found at Norwich, but their child was with them. The deceased's identity is, therefore, a mj etery.

ANARCHIST ARRESTED IN SPAIN MADRID, Monday Night. By a somewhat singular cojncidence the sinister rumours of yesterday, accoiding to which an attempt had been made to assassinate King Alfonso, have been followed to-day by the arrest in Madrid of a dan- gerous Russian Anarchist. The Madrid police acted on instructions supplied to them by the police of Paris, by whom the man was descri'Vsd as a desperate character. His lugg*g!», on being searched, confirmed this et&W=ent.Ceyatmi N-ewa.

The Albion Victims CORONERS TAKE FORMAL EVIDENCE SYMPATHY WITH RELATIVES The inquiry into the circumstances attend- ing the death of the six victims of the Cil- fynydd disaster on Saturday last was opened at the Commercial Hotel, Oilwynydd, to-day (before Mr. R. J. Rhys, coroner for Glamor- gan) and Mr. E. Llewellyn Reece (deputy- coroner of Cardiff district). Councillor T. B. Evans acted as foreman of the jury, and Mr. W. T. Nicholas and Mr. D. Watts Morgan represented the Miners' Fede- ration. Mr, W. Lewis, agent of the Albion Colliery Company, and Mr. Philip Johns, the manager, and a number of other colliery officials, were also present. Mr. R. J. Rhys, the coroner, explained that only the man Strong was in his dictrict, the victims being more numerous in the district of the Cardiff coroner. What was proposed that day we.,s that only evidence of identifica- cation should be taken, and that the inquiry be adjourned until Monday week, in order to give the inspectors of mines time to look into the matter, and also enable tlbe inte- rested parties to instruct their leg-al advisers. Evidence of identification having been given, Mr. Reece, the Cardiff deputy-coroner, said he wished to express his deep sym- pathy with the relatives of the deceased men. The only fortunate circumstance was that the explosion was confined to a small area. Councillor T. B. Evans, on behalf of the jury, said that he felt it his duty to endorsa the deputy-coroner's remarks. The jury were well acquainted with the deceased, who were all good men, and would be much missed in the locality. The jury also felt for the officials of tlfe colliery, who must have been much concerned over the affair. Mr. W. Lewis, the agent, said he also wished to express deep sympathy with the relatives on behalf of the company, who would do all they could to throw light upon the matter. Mr. D. Watts Morgan, on behalf of th-s Rhondda District of Minens, also endorsed the remarks of condolence, after which The inquiry was adjourned until the 76th inst.

War Office- Scandals £ 4,000 PAID IN ERROR FOR CATTLE [CAPTURES The third report from the Committee of Public Accounts, issued as a Parliamentary paper on Monday evening, contains some interesting information in regard to various sums lost to the Exchequer in South Africa and elsewhere. A particularly amusing case is that of a Mr. Noreen, an employe of the Intelligence Department in South Africa, who made various claims for promised bonuses for cattle captured from the enemy. He was paid LBOO, and subsequently £ 4,000. The latter sum, it seems, was paid in error, and the committee express the opinion that some further effort, should be made to compel Mr. Noreen to re-fund it. The committee state that numerous large discrepancies have been discovered in taking stock of land service stores, but it is to be feared, they say, that these must to a great extent be accepted as a necessary after- math of the war and of the breakdown of a system of accountancy which, planned for use in peace, was ili-euited to bear the hurry and stress of a great campaign." Incidentally the committee made the curious discovery that under the existing regulations" wound pensions" can be drawn by officers who are able to resume military duty and to earn full pay. The committee express the opinion that this practice should cease, and that when an officer has recovered and can resume military duty no further grant should be made to him in respect of his injury until he retires from the service.

Cunarder on Fire I AN ALARMING OCCURRENCE The Cunard liner, Oeronia, one of the largest and newest of the company's fleet, on arrival at Roches Point, Queenstown, to- day, reported that she had been on firo in Mid-Atlantic, but that the butbteak had been overcome by the crew. No injury, fortunately, bad occurred to the passengers. She proceeded to Liiverpool after signalling "AH well."

YOUTHFUL HOUSEBREAKERS Four respectably-dressed lrads-John Rolls (fourteen), William M'Auliffe (fourteen), Ernest John (twelve), and Thomias John (thirte,en)--wer,B brought up at Cardiff Police^ court to-day charged (before Messrs. T. W. Symonds and W. H. Renwiok) with breaking and entering the dwelling-house No. 1, Moteor- etreet, in the occupation of Elizabeth Jane Harris, and stealing about ls. 6d. in money, and a pieoe of tart, va-lue 3d. On 1 nday evening Mrs. Harris had occa- sion to leave the shop, and her husband aad daughter wero also away. The place is car- ried on as a refreshment house, and the occupants on their return missed the money and a piece of tart off a plate on the counter. The key had been put under the door; one of the lads succeeded in getting possession of it, a.nd entrance then became easy. Detective Henry Rosser gave evidence of arrest. The boys gave conflictory explanations. Prosecutrix did not press the Charge, which was dø; t. with under the First Offenders Act. (Proceeding.)

VOCAL PICTURES. Fine Show at Cardiff The great fixture of the popular enter- tainment which is now being given nightly in the Park-hall, Cardiff, is the chronograph mechanical device for public amusement. The chronograph, briefly, is a machine which produces singing or talking and mov- ing pictures It has only once before been &een in Cardiff, and that wa.s when the St. Louis Picture Company, who are now show- ing it, visited Cardiff on a previous occasion. Then this entertainment proved so attrac- tive, and it filled the Yarli-lall night after night, and when they opened in Cardiff on Monday it looked as though their stay for the next fortnight will be equally successful. The chronophone is something more than a mere combination of the cinematograph and the phonograph. You see a moving picture on the screen, and at the same time an invisible phonograph sings a song that is true. But beyond this an ingenious elec- trical apparatus is used which makes the progress of the song srnchronise exactly with the appropriate action of the pictured singer. If one is a lip reader one can see the words of the song being formed on the lips of the singer at exactly the moment when the phonograph sings them.

—————————— Starters and Selections; LEICESTER, Tuesday Morning. A gloriously fine morning in Leicester, com- bined with the prospect of interesting sport, had the effect of attracting one of the big- j gest crowds ever seen in the Oadby enclo- sures, and the proceedings went with a capi- tal swing. Although a good many parts of the Midlands are under water, the course was in wonderfully good order, and good fields were seen out. The racing was lacking in olasa, and hardly calls for reference in these notes, the only feature being the defeat of Stageetruck by Honest Bill in the Oadby Nursery. The once dreaded Mr. W. B. Pure-: foy has been out of touch with fortune all this season, and Stagestruck could not have lost had she got off on equal terms, for as, it was she only lost by a matter of a few inches. The chief race to-day is again a selling race, the IAicef;t.ershire November, Handicap. Longford Lad, who heads the list, is a light of other (laye-and yet they some- times shine brilliantly at the fag end of a season. I think the ohief question at issue, is whether the three-year-old, Shower Bath, can give 131b. to Chiltern? I ignore Gaa-r- ness becauee of his welshing propensities, and as i CHiLTERN I missed a tempting Hurst Park engagement I with a view to this race, he must have my vote.

Seaman's Eye Punctured I USE OF A HAT PIN DENIED I A Oardiff woman, named Louisa George, j was charged at Llandaff on Monday wiirtAi un- lawfully wounding a Norwegian seaman, Banned Charles Henri keen. | The alleged offence took place on Wednee- day last, and Henriksen, in repeating the evidence given at the occasional court, said that he and the woman had numerous drinks in Cardiff, and then engaged a cab to drive to Whitchurch. On the way he dis- covered that about LZ was missing from his I pocket, and he a-t once accused the defen- dant. She denied stealing his money, and a I scuffle ensued in tlie cab. Prosecutor tore out her pocket, which contained seven shillings. He then decided to leave the c&b, and, as he wae doing so, he found his eye bleeding, and he palI.d a long baffcjrigi out of his eye. At I Tongwynlaie he gave the defendant into cus- tody. The defendant Grose-examined complainant with the object of showing that tie pin entered his face accidentally during the struggle in the oab. Dr. Tare Well, stated that he found a. small puncturer wound on the right side of the right eye and another small wound on the side of the noee, showing that ML instrument lake a hatpin ha-d passed in 011 one aide of the eye and out at the other. He did not think there would be any per- manent injury to the eye. A fall such as suggested by the defendant might have caused the injury. The Chadrmam: We think thi6 was a drunken squabble, and the case is dismissed, j

FERREIRA'S RAID. POLICE IN PURSUIT. Freebooters Located. We were informed on inquiry on Mon- day evening that neither the Colonial Office nor the Agent-General for Cape Colony had received any further details of the Boer raid into Cape Colony. In official quarters the view i.s held that, although a movement of this sort needs closely watching, it need not be regarded as anything more than a fili- bustering expedition. Trooper Bellew, who was wounded at Abiam, has died of his injuries. Statement in Parliament In the House of Commons on Monday, Mr. BALFOUR asked whether the Govern- ment had any information at their disposal with reference to the alleged Beer raid wlfich was stated to have taken place in Cape Colony. Mr. CHURCHILL said information had been received from the Governor of Oape Colony that a Transvaal Boer, named Ferreira, reported lately in the employ of the Government of German South-West Africa, Wilii five followers, all armed- (laugh ter)- had attacked two police poste and wounded two policemen, one seriously, and stolen arms and ammunition They were inviting Boers to join them, stating there was a, rising in the Transvaal. The Government of Cape Colony were taking all necessary steps, and at present Ministers did not think the assistance of regular forces was necessary. (Nationalist cheers.) The Governor of Oape Colony had telegraphed to the Governor of German South-West Africa reporting the cir- cumstances, and asking him to take steps to capture the freebooters if they returned to German territory with a view to their extradition on charges of theft and attempted murder. On Sunday the Governor-General reported that the number of Ferreira's fol- lowers had increased to eleven fully armed men. He detailed the steps which were being taken to capture them, stating that 150 police were on the way and 350 more were available if required. (Nationalist laughter.) Mr. DALZIEL asked whether there was any information at the Colonial Office to justify the belief that the so-called raid was engi- neered from Johannesburg in order to divert attention from Chinese labour. (Opposition criee of Oh!") Mr. FLAVIN: Will the hon. gentleman call for volunteers from above the Gangway on this side of the House. (Loud laughter.) iSfe SPEAKER: Order, order. IN HOT PURSUIT CAPE TOWN, Monday. Later particulars show that Ferreira's party, after attacking the Cape Police oamp at Witkop, which is 50 miles south of the fron- tier town of Rietfontein, have been following a line almost parallel with the Molopo River from Witkop. They marched fifteen miles to the south upon Abiam, and thence to Zwart Modd-er, which is only some 50 miles from Upington. The r aide re on Saturday were within 30 miles of XT ping-ton, and, according to the latest information, are being pursued across the south of the dread Kalahari Desert towards West Griqualand. During the month of November this region of drifting sand hills is usually almost wat-er- less, and is only traversed by bushmem a-TKl a few hunters of big game. Many routes, indeed, can only be followed when the pools bave been filled with recent rain. It is a district which presents the greatest difficulty as regards military operations, especially if rapid movements are contem- plated. Colonel Lukin will reach Prieska to- morrow, and will then assume oommand of the operations. Trooper Bellew, who was wounded by Fer- reira in his raid at Abiam on the 7th inat., has died of his Injuries.-Peuter. German Desperado as Lieutenant] CAPE TOWN, Monday. A telegram to the Argus" states that Ferreira, has destroyed or captured a Cape police heliograph. A German desperado named Jensen, it is added, is acting as his lieutenant. It is believed th-at some of Ferreira's men are wanted by the German authorities. The Oape Government is in communication with the latter with a view to concerted action.— Renter.

SWANSEA CLUB STRUCK OFF Evidence of Drunken Habitues At Swansea Police-court on Monday a case against the Standard Working Men's Club, Dyfa-tty-street, Swansea (William Lewis steward, and Ezekiel Jenkins, secretary), of permitting drunkenness, occupied some hours in hearing. Mr. Richards, who prosecuted, said the application was to have the olub struck off the register under Section 28 of the Licensing Act of 1902, on the ground of the frequent drunkenness which was permitted there. Mr. Henry Thompson defended. Police-conetable Pember said that on Sun- day, October 28, he watched the olub from six p.m. till 12.25 midnight, From eleven p.m. to 12.25 he saw 70 men come out. and thirteen of these were drunk. On. October 21. between 11.40 p.m. aawl 12.30 a.m., 46 men iel't the club, ten being drunk; on October 14 (wh«u the olub closed at 11.45) he saw four men leave drunk. That was "a very quiet night." (Laughter.) In reply to Mr. Thompson, witness said that the steward w-as away on holidays during the week first mentioned. He agreed that the club compared favourably with others that had been closed. Police-constable Triok gave similar evi- ienoe. Cross-examined: He thought the club had seen fairly well conducted. Mr. Thompson: There are not many clubs Hft in the town for working men, are there? •-No. But there are a number for middle-olass poplc?-Yes. They don't oome under your observation?— 10. Polioe-constable Bateden gave similar evi- lence. Mr. Thompson: Do you know of any single ;nstance in which any men have purchased lrink at this club and then been prosecuted for drunkenness?—I do not. Mr. Thompson submitted that the club t;hould not be struck off, as it was in an excellent building, with respectable officials and proper rulcif After hearing the defence, the Chairman said that the bench had no doubt that drunkenness had been permitted, and there- fore they were obliged to make the order that the club be struck off the register of the court, and also to direct that the premises be closed altogether for twelve months. The costs would be borne by the club. The Chairmaii. further remarked to Mr. Thompson that something had been said as to better class clubs being left unwatched, and if that was so the bench hoped the police would attend to all clubs alike. Mr. Thompson said his experience was that there was one law for the rich and another for the poor in these matters. The Chairman said the law would be squally administered in that court, adding: I presume all clubs are treated alike." Superintendent Gill: Most certainly, air. Wo distinctions are made.

OAL-TIPPER DIES AT WORK An inquest, was held on Monday in the Town-h%ll, Cardiff, by Mir. E. B. Reece, coroner, touching the death of George Law- eon, aged 54. ooal-tipper, living at 26, Chris- tina-street, who died while at work on Satur- day. PoAioe-constable Joseph Ford, dock con- stable, etated that Lawson died on board a Turkish chip, which was lying alongside the weighing-machine, and had since left the dock. Dr. Rutherford, assistant to Dr. T. Wallace, stated that he had examined the body, and come to the conclusion that death was due to hoart failure. A verdict in accordance with the medical evidence was returned. I

ALL NIGHT SITTING.1 M.Ps.Walk in TheirSleepl "IN NAME OF HUMANITY LET US ADJOURN" Lively Interruptions in Commons The House of Commons eat until an un- usually laite hour this morning. The object of the Government was to expedite the passage of the Land Tenure Bill, the Chief Whip being anxious to complete the report stage at to-day's sitting. At two o'clock the House proceeded to discuss Clause 4, which gives to the tenant, notwithstanding any provisions of any contract of teiniancy or agre-ement, full right to cultivate crops or dispose of the produce of his holding without incurring any penalty, forfeiture, or liability. Mr. Stewart Smith moved an amendment to provide that the tenant's freedom of cropping should not be interfered with by any custom of the country. This was seconded by Sir Edward Straohey, who was in charge of the Bi:tl on behalf of the Government. While Colonel Kenyon-Slavey was speaking on the amendment, Mir. Flavin muttoeired something about one of hie former tenants. Colonel Kenyon-Slavey, turning round to his iinter raptor, warmly atigma-tised the com- ment as a, "rude and vulgar interruption." (Opposition cheers.) Mr. Austen Chamberlain, on a point of order, hotly appealed to the Chairman to protect members from such remarks. Mr. Flavin: "What I have said, I have said." I have Nothing to Withdraw. I Mr. Stanley Wilson (to the Deputy-Speaker): The interrupt-ions from this quarter (indicat- ing the Irish Benches) have been continuous. The Deputy-Speaker: I did not hear what the interruptions were, but I would appeal to hon. members to preserve order. Address- ing Clolon-el Kenyon-Slaney, the Deputy- Spea,ker said he hoped he would withdraw his remarks. Colonel Kenyon-Slavey: Yes; but it was a peculiarly offensive remark, and I think it was very mildly rebuked by me. Mr. Flavin: The hon. and gallant gentle- man can take it in any way he likes. Colonel Kenyon-Slaney: That, naturally, is the way I take it. After a protracted debate the amendment was carried by 203 to 61. On the stroke of four Sir Frederick Ban- bury moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr. Balfour supported the motion, declaring that the policy of the Government in press- ing forward the Bill at this stage now was a disastrous one. There was not the smallest neoeseity for requiring the House to deal with a Bill of this importance at this time of the morning. It should be discussed in the hours of daylight. Mr. Haldai-le said the Government would accept the motion on the understanding that t,he discussion on this stage of the Bill should come to an end at eleven o'clock to-night—(Opposition cries of "Oh!"—other- wise the debate must go on. (Ministerial cheers and counter cheers.) Mr. Lane Fox appealed to Mr. Balfour not to allow himself to be Bribed or Bullied" by the Government. See the humiliating position this House will be in," he said, if when this Bill goes over to the House of Lords it is thrown out because it has not been properly considered in this House." In the name of humanity," pleaded Viscount Tumour, amid loud laughter and cheers, let us adjourn. The Cabinet Minis- ters who have been listening to this debate have become thinner as it has gone on." (Roars of Opposition merriment, in which Ministers joined). Mr. Whiteley, the Chief Government Whip, appealed to from various quarters, expressed his belief that if this Bill was unduly de- layed it would bo necessary for the House to meet after Christmas. He did not propose, he said, to move the adjournment of the Kouao this morning until the Prime Minister came down and authorised him to do so. (Opposition cries of "Oh!" and Ministerial cheers. ) What an amazing proceeding!" exclaimed Mr. Walter Long, thumping the braes-bound box. (Opposition cheers.) Take off your coat," sarcastically shouted an Irishman. At five o'clock Mr. Carlile said the Patronage Secretary seemed to think they were not enjoying themselves, and. that they found the time rather long. They had only to look at the members e-ittling around him to realise that they were a long way from being exhausted. At the same time, Mr. Carlile proceeded, they ought to adjourn. iou have only to look at the mem- bers walking up the floor of the House," he eaid, "to see tha,t they are walking in their sleep." (Roars of laughter.) Proceeding, Mr. Oarlile said he saw two Cabinet Ministers on the Treasury Bench—Mr. Burns and Mr. Hal- dane-and he thought they ought to be able to speak for the Prime Minister. "Are we," lie asked, "to be dictated to by understrap- i)era?" (Loud laughter.) The motion for the adjournment of the debate ww.6 defÐaited by 182 to 62. At half-past five the House returned to the consideration of the At a quarter past seven Colonel Lockwood asked lea.ve to move the adjournment of the Houee, but the Speaker would not aooept the motion, the House having decided, he remarked, less than two hours ago to go on with the Bill. At a, quarter-past eight Lord Tumour, the youthful member for Horsham, e,poke amid Nationalist cries of "Who said Cicero was dead," and "Take some Mellin's food." At half-past eight, while Colonel Kenyon- Slaney was speaking, Mr. Clement Edwards interrupted with the remark, "What did you do with Horner?" Colonel Kenyon-Slaney: I should like to know what the hon. member interrupted me for then. I should know in what corner of the House sits a slanderer. Mr. Clement Edwards stood up. The Deputy-Speaker, addressing Colonel Kenyon-Slaney, said the right hon. gentle- man -must know that that phrase was enti rely u n-Parliamentary. Colonel Kenyon-Slaney said he had been personally subjected seven or eight times in the course of the debate to a personal illu- sion which was most discourteous, unfair, and decidedly slanderous. The Deputy-Speaker: The right hon gentle- man must not use the word slanderous." He must withdraw it. I am sorry these interruptions are made from time to time. Colonel Kenyon-Slaney: I will immediately withdraw any word which is un-Parliamen- tary, I am .equally certain if you knew what was meant by the word you would hardly think my retort, too strong, and in t-hat I should be fortified by the opinion of many hon. members on the other side of the House. The Prime Minister returned at a little after n.ine o'clock, and explained that his absence from the House since the ado the previous night was unavoidable. Replying to Mr. Balfour, he saJid he re.cognis-ed that rtlhey bad now arrived, at the critical stage of the Bill, and he thought an arrangement might be made. What lIe proposed was that they should not suspend the eleven o'clock rule to-night or to-morrow night, that they should be allowed to get Clause 4 at this sitting, and that they might agree that this stage of the Bill should fin.ish before eleven o'clock to-morrow (Wednesday) night. (Cheers.) Hon. gentlemen opposite have the credit and glory of having by their discussions during the dead hours secured another day. Mr. Balfour said they were prepared to aooept this proposal. At tweny-five minutes to ten all the amend- ments to Clause 4 were disposed of, and the clause paseed. The Speaker put the question, "That the further consideration of this Bill be now adjourned," and this was agreed to amid feeble cheers from the members oil both sides of the House. Members then quietly dispersed, after sit- ting for just on nineteen hours.

George Edward Clarke, of Chesterfield, horse- dealer, gave further evidence in the Divorce Court yesterday in answer to the accusation of having misconducted herself with Charles Askew, William Forbes, a.nd other men un- known. In the course of further cross- examiinatian, witness admitted that iin the summer of 1906 she was in communication, with a. gentleman in Lomdon. Mr. Barnard (for the petitioner): Did you receive this telegram from him—" Cannot afford; limited means; wire ten shillings "? To what did that refer?—I do not know what it means. Did you receive this lett,-r- Dear Page,—I have just got. your letter, and was glad to heaT from you and know you are keeping well. Yes; I remember all the places I met you. I should like to see you omoe when I am in town. Could you run down fcr a day or two? Please do not get disappointed because I do not enclose the money. I prefer to give it to you when you come here. I was glad you did not mention anything i,n a. letter. I know probably you will have inconvenience to get about without funds, so I enclose postal order for 20s.-Yours truly, J. What were you receiving money for from a man who did not even sign his name?— This gentleman I knew years before mar- riage, and I had never kept up correspon- dence with him since. Here is another letter-This is Bribery On My Husband's Part. This was at a time when you had left your husband. This letter says: Dear Page.-I received your wire this morning. I have just wired you to say I would meet you at the station there about 12 o'clock. I will leave here, St. Pancras, to-morrow at 8.15, and will get there somewhere about 11.45. I will look for you on the platform or in the general waiting room. So please do not fail. More when we mect.-Yours, J. Did you meet hiuli-ye6. What money did he give you?—A five-pound note, I took the pledge tickets and he gave me enough to get my gold guard and dia- mond bracelet out. Mr. Justice Bargra,ve Deane: Why did he address you as Page ? Mr. Barnard: Tha.t was her maiden name. Mr. Chambers, K.C. (for the respondent): How did your husband's solicitors get hold of those lotters?—Through my husband and a woman he met, who stol,) them from me and gave them to my husband. Who is "J"?—He is a prince, a.n Indian prince—Prince Jadeja. (Laughter.) Mr. Chambers: I do not see what there is to laugh at. Witness: I'll spell it. J-a-d-e-j a. (Laugh- ter.) Where did you meet IiimP-At Dougtas. When you were a barmaid there? Yes. Did you ever see The Indian Prmoe I while you were living with your nusoanci?— Never. Was there ever anY impropriety between you and him?—Never. Did he propose to marry you?—Yee, some years before. Wirtmess added that for weeks she was with- out money at all, and bad to pa.wn her jewellery. She wrote to the prince, oare of Cook and Son, where he was employed whem she first, knew him. Mr. Chambers: And he came down in re- membrance of his old affecti O'H for you aind gave you money to get your jewellery out of pawn ?—Yes. William Forbes, one of the oo-respondenrts, demied the allegation that he had miscon- ducted himself with the respondent. Mary Herring, who was servant to the Ol'a.rkes in 1901, described her mater as a, very nasty-tempered man, who treated hia wife very badly. Another servant deposed to having heard the pe-titioner knocking his wife up and down t-he room. Mrs. Clarke was not a. sober woman, but she did not take too much drink. (Laughter.) Mr. Jiu-tioe Bargrave Deane: I do not untterstand. At the conclusion of the evidence the hear- ing was adjourned.
