I Boarders and Beer. I POLICE OFFICER'S VISITS TO BUTE- STREET HOUSES I FLAGONS CARRIED IN BAGS A Spanish lady, named Pelir Garcia, who is the proprietress of a boarding-house at 160, Bute-street, was charged (before the I stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) at Cardiff Police-court this afternoon with selling intoxicants without a licence. Mr. Harold Lloyd defended, and said there was no dis- pute as to the facts. Mr. Carey Laboidy acted a-s interpreter. Inspector Ben Davies deposed that at 9.40 j p.m. on the 5th inst. he visited the boarding- house, and in the large bar he saw several men sitting at a. table on which were two pint bottlea and two glasses partly full of beer. Defendant's explanation was that the men brought the beer in with them. The inspector added that there were ten empty bottles under the counter, which, apparently, had been recently emptied, and three full bottles. In answer to tihe stipendiary, Inspector Davies said he did not ask for an explana- tion as to the presence of the bottles under 'the counter. Mr. Harold Lloyd raised the defence, which was supported in evidence by defendant, that some of the beer was for Home Consumption I whilst as to the rest one of defendant's fellow-countrymen had given her a present, and she sent the girl out to fetch some bottles of beer as a gift on the strength of the present by the Spanish grandee—the present of a coloured sasih and shawl. Inspector Davies gave evidence of previous visits, stating that he had seen large quan- tities of beer taken into the house in flagons, carried in bags. The Inspector, in reply to his worship, was sure the bottles contained beer, although he saw them at a, distance, and the Stipendiary characterised the inspector as a very bold man. Fined X25 and costs, or one month in default of distress. William Attwell, of Adelaide-street, pleaded guilty to a similar offence, and was fined 40s. and costs, or one month. Mr. Harold Lloyd, for the defence, ex- plained that defendant, who is a rigger, had a large family, and had been in finan- cial difficulties. A Case Dismissed. A similar charge was preferred against Pedro Pavacaldo, who keeps a boarding- houise for seamen of Spanish nationality out 172, Bute-street. Mr. Morgan Rees defended. Inspector Ben 'Davies spoke to seeing defendant and ten men sitting at a table, which had been pushed into a corner, and music was being played for the purposes of dancing A man was drinking from a bottle. His Worship: How do you know it was beer?—I smelt it. Then you are prepared to Bay that that was beer?—Yes. The defence was that certain bottles of ale had been presented by one of the guests for general consumption, and that there was no sale. The sale was absolutely denied, and it was stated in evidence that if any of the boarders wanted beer they had to send out and pay for it. The case being one of doubt, his Worship dismissed the summons.

T'he mishap oocurred on Bank Holiday, August 6. at 6.30 p.m. Mr. Spurgeon's six-horse-power motor-car went out of the premises of the Newport Motor Garage in Commercial-street, and was making a circular sweep to get on its right side of the roa.d to make its journey, when the tramcar collided with it. The off-hind wheel of the motor-car was carried away, and other damage was done. Mrs. Spurgeon was injured. Mr. Arthur Brooks, the foreman at the ganag £ estimated the speed of the tramcar at sixteen to twenty miles an hour, and a second witness at about fifteen miles an hour. One of the witnesses w,as asked whether the tramcar driver sounded his gong. His Honour: I don't eee that that matters at all. I am not bound to get out of the way because a tram driver sounds a gong. It is tfhe King's lliigbrway. In the result his Honour found for the plaintiff, and awarded L40 damages.

I FARMERS AND FARMING. At Ntmvort Oounty-court to-day tlbe case of Price v. Phillips was heard.

Mr. Vachell appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sankey (instructed by Messrs. Davies, Nash, and Co.) defended. There was a deal for two oows at zEZ5, aaid an arrangement that the defendant was to cut and harvest the plaintiff s hay. A sum of f,18 was paid into court, which with the £ 7 for doing the harvesting, was sufficient to pay for the cows. The other point raised was whether there was damage to the hay by the defendant's negligence in not carrying the hay during the fine weather. Miss Price produced a sample of the hay from a handbag. His Honour told her to put it back in her pocket. He held that there w,as no evidence of damage, and, therefore, gave judgment for the amount paid into court, the plaintiff to pay the costs.

NO MORE OF IT." I ————. 1 Husband Closes the Door to His I Wife. SEQUEL TQ CARDIFF VISIT The stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) sitting at Cardiff Police-court this afternoon, had before him a case in which Elizabeth Jane Beer summoned her husband, Francis J. Beer, for desertion. Mr. Harold Lloyd was for the complainant; Mr. George David defended. The facts, Mr. Harold Lloyd said, were out of the ordinary course. The parties were married in 1899, and there were five child- ren of the marriage. Defendant was a master mariner, and he lived with his wife at Bide- ford. On July 3, 1904, complainant came from Bideford on a visit to Cardiff with her husband's consent, and she brought two of the children with her. On July 10 she wrote to her husband that she was about to return to him, but he replied from Bideford that this house will be closed to-morrow morn- ing," complainant, he alleged, having I Got Him Into a Mess" and he was determined to have no more of it." Defendant went on, Your conduct has not been as it should. You seem to think more of someone else. You can do as you like. Someone else will keep you. I have finished with you." In all his letters defendant declared lie would have no more to do with his wife; he charged her with committing misconduct with a man named Ereritt, and that was the reason he assigned for Refusing to Live With Her The parties entered into negotiations. Defen- dant consulted a firm of solicitors at Exeter, and they suggested certain terms. Mrs. Beer did not agree to those terms, and defendant sent his wife 25s. a week, which she accepted. On November 25, 1905, the husband filed a, divorce petition, on the ground of the alleged misconduct with Everitt, defendant claiming damages, and asking for a decree nisi and custody of the children. The misconduct was denied. There were counter charges, and a petition for alimony was taken out. The day the case was to have come on before the Master in Ghamoors detfendaut Abandoned the Petition and the matter fell through. Complainant did not ask for a dissolution of the mar- riage. She denied the misconduct, and made counter charges. Defendant paid the 25s. a week until quite recently. The Stipendiary: The petition was dis- missed, with costs. Mr. Lloyd: Yes, and the taxed costs have not yet been paid. Mr. Harold Lloyd further explained that the last week defendant reduced his weekly instalment from 25s. to 18s., on the ground that his eldest son (sup- ported by the mother) was able to earn his own living, which, however, was not the case. Complainant, who now lives at 49, Albert- street, Canton, was then called, and gave the particulars of her oa&e, stating that her (husband earned. £ 3 a week as master of a small trading ship of 29 tons register, trading ■between Bristol and Bideford. Mr. David (to complainant): You went away in defiance of your husband's orders, and met someone else, and did not intend to return?—I intended, to return on the Mon- day. Did Everett visit you in Cardiff whilst you Did EVI-rett Tieit v ware here during the week?-Yes; my hus- band gave him mv address, and he Came to See Me I Did you also see him in Bristol?—No, sir. The husband was called, and swore he earned onily 40s. a week, with 38. a trip extra, amounting to L2 6s. a,.Itogether. He also alleged that his wife had run him into an indebtedness of zC70 with various tradesmen, which sum he had reduced by smaH instal- ments. His Worship made an order of a week, with costs, the wife to have c-uelody of the children.

Sudden Exertion Danger GUARD DIES IN G.W.R. WAITING-ROOri On the arrival at Cardiff Great Western Railway Station at 11.33 to-day of the Irish boat train from Paddington to Fishgua.rd, the guard of the train, Thomas King, of London, was seized with a fit just after leaving his coach. Fifteen minutes later he expired. Dr. Taylor was called, and attributed death to heart failure, following upon some sudden exertion. Further details show that the deceased on leaving his van walked to the office of Inspector Seaborne, with whom he chatted for a few minutes. He then walked down the platform and spoke to a lady, inquiring of her about the welfare of another person, when he suddenly fell in the fit. King had been iu the service of the com- pany for 30 years, and was a native of Swan- sea, where his brother-in-law, Mr. Protheroe, still resides. Before the Irish boat-express was run the deceased worked the train from Lordon to Cardiff and on to Bridgend. His wife and family are living in London, and deceased has two brothers, who are also in the employ of the company. King had not complained to anyone of feeling ill, and on leaving Paddington he appeared to be in good health.

I RUSSIA DAY BY DAY. Over twenty arrests have been made by tihe police in connection with the discovery of a bomb manufactory and store of arms in Moscow.

I Trial of Mr. Thaw Man May Avenge His Wife's Dishonour. I THE LINE OF DEFENCE. On December 3, nearly six months after the shooting of the well-known architect, Mr. Stanford White, during a performance at the Madison Garden Roof Theatre, Mr. Harry Thaw will come up for trial on the murder charge. The crime took place on the night of June 26, MT, White being seated with friends at a table in the theatre, when young Thaw stepped out of the shadow of a palm tree and fired three shots into his victim, subsequently declaring that he did so because the dead man had violated his wife's honour. During the intervening six months Mr. Thaw has been held for trial in the Tombs Prison, and a. fierce contest has waged between him and his legal advisers as to The Plea to be Put in He has insisted that justification alone must be his defence, while numerous lawyers, in- cluding Mr. David Watson, who was leading American counsel in the Alaskan Boundary Commission, have given the opinion that only a plea of insanity can save the defendant from the electric chair or a life sentence. On this account there bias be-en a Change more than once of the lawyers employed, but it ihias been at length decided that Judge Delmas, a l,eading lawyer of San Francisco, will conduct the defence on the line of the unwritten law that a man may avenge his wife's dishonour. Mrs. William Thaw, the defendant's mother, who has just returned to the United States from Europe, will back the defence with her wealth, but she wishes the plea of insanity to be raised, and in spite of the protests of her son she had him examined by mental specialists in prison. The family of Mr. Stanford White, on the other hand, have been iassisting the Prosecution Preparations actively. Mrs. White and her son are stead- fast in their belief in the viotim's moral rectitude, and they are determined to clear his character from the vilification that set in after the crime. It is noticeable that, while public opinion in New York at first leaned to young li%aw, there has been since a strong veering to the Stanford White side of the matter. Mr. Jerome, the Public Prosecutor, will handle the prosecution, and, though defen- dant's wife, Mrs. Evelyn Thaw, is expected to attempt to justify her husband by confess- ing that Mr. Stanford White was intimate with her after her marriage, on the strength of his previous power over her, it has already been hinted that she may herself be arrested and charged with being an acces- sory before the act of shooting. The case is full of sensational possibilities, and is awaited with general interest.

Bullet Not Yet Found CARDIGANSHIRE WOMAN SHOT At the West Wales Winter Assizes, held at Carmarthen yesterday (before Mr. Justice Walton), David James, 32, a collier, formerly in employment at Penrhiwceiber, was charged with feloniously shooting his wife, Elizabeth James, with a revolver, with intent to murder her, in the parisn of Penbryn, Car- diganshire, on the 10th ult. Mr. Bowen Davies (instructed by Mr. George, Newcastle- Emlyn) a.ppeared to prosecute om behalf of the Crown, and Mr. Harold Stowe held a dock brief for the prisoner. A brief report of the oase appeared in the la,te,r editions of yesterday's Evening Exprees." Mr. Bowen Davies said t'hat returning home from Glamorgan, the prisoner accused his wife of having had improper relations with a. man, named David Evans, a farm labourer. Evans called at the farm one even- ing, and noticed a loaded revolver on the hob of the fireplace. James and Evane went to a local public-house and returned to Parc- eithyn, where the prisoner lived, at about 12.30 midnight. When Evans left at two a.m. Mrs James went to 1 he door te eee him off. The prisoner, who was in the kitchen, asked 'her to come in. She did so, and the prisoner then said, "What did you want by the door? You are a bad woman." He then shot her in the side. She ran out of the house and heard the revolver fired again. The bullet had Not Yet Been Extracted and blood-poisoning might set in at any time. Prisoner was arrested, and, in reply to the charge, he said that he never intended to hurt his wife. He merely intended to frighten her. The prisoner, cn oath, stated that he had been drinking on the day in question. First of all they took beer, and finished up with a shilling's worth of whisky. His Lordship: Had you anything to drink earlier in the day?—No, my lord. Mr. Stowe: Is there a.ny truth whatever in the suggestion that you intended to kill your wife that night?—No, sir. Let those gentlemen know why you shot that night?—Simply to frighten my wife, being that she had stopped with David Evans in the passage for half an hour. Your wife has stated that you are very sorry for what happened.—Prisoner (in tears): I'm very sorry, sir. Mr. Bowen: Why were you cross?—Being that she was talking with David Evans in the passage. There was no harm in that?—No harm, only the talking that was going on between them. He never said his wife was a. bad woman. Mr. Stowe asked what proof they had of any criminal intent. Undoubtedly, the prisoner did act in a Very Stupid ana hoolish manner in playing with firearms. This would provide material for one of the best sermons that could be preached on the evils of exces- sive drinking. His Lordship said that unless the jury were fully satisfied that prisoner intended to murder his wife, or, at any rate, to inflict serious injury upon her, they ought to acquit him. He might then be indicted for unlaw- ful wounding. The jury found the prisoner not guilty, and his Lordship, in discharging him, said that the jury. had acted rightly. He certainly thought, however, that-the prisoner was very much to blame for using the revolver in a reckless manner. and there was nothing to prevent him from being tried for injuring his wife again.

MISCHIEVOUS BOY AGAIN At Newport County-court to-day the ad- journed action came on. for hearing of the Channel Shipping Company v. R. Gilchrist and Co., and on this occasion a second defen- dant was added, viz., the South Wales and Liverpool Steamship Company (Limited). r. Parsons (instructed by Messrs. Lyndon Moore and Cooper) appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Sankey (instructed by Messrs. Williams and Co.) was for tooth defendants. Whitet the plaintiff company's ship Emily was lying at the Liverpool Wharf, on the west side of the River Usik, the iron bucket from a crane <yn the Wharf fell upon the deck and caused damage, in respect of which and the demurrage a sum of EZ7 5s. 6d. was claimed. It was admitted that the fall of the bucket was caused by the wrongful act of a tres- passing mischievous boy, who entered the orane-housie whilst the crane man was away at his dinner, and set the machinery in motion. His. Honour held that there was negligence in the bucket in such a way that it could fall by a t.respasser getting in at an link eked door and setting the machinery m motion. He gave judgment for £ 10 lis. &d. in II ipeepect of the damage against- the South Wales and Liverpool Steamship Company only, with costs; and judgment for Robert Gilchrist and Co., with costs. He held that no claim for demurrage could be sustained.

AMALGAMATION RUMOUR In connection witih the rumoured negotia- tions of the Port Talbot Railway and Docks Company for the acquirement of the South Wales Mineral Railway, we are able to state, on t-he authority of the general manager of I the Port Talbot Company, that no definite .arrangements have been made, and that so far there is no basis of negotiations for the acquirement of the South Wales line. From outside inquiry we are, however, able to state that the South Wales Mineral Com- pany are promoting a Bill in Parliament in connection with their line, and that the officers of the Port Talbot Company have been over the South Wales Mineral Railway purely on a mission of inspection.

I UNFIT FOR HABITATION To-day, at Merthyr Police-court, orders were made upon Rees Jones, Galon Uchaf Farm, court, Betbesda-st-reeit, Merthyr; and William Penydiarren; George Griffiths, 7.

ITELL TALE LOCKET MARRIED MAN'S PRESENT TO CANTON GIRL Violent Court Scenes. An affiliation case was brought to a head before the stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) at Cardiff Polioe-court this afternoon, the com- phdnant being young girl named Blanch Yates and the defendant Eli Head, a man much older, married, a quarry-man, and a dealer in horses. Mr. Harold Lloyd was for the complainant, and Mr. W. H. Davies defended. In opening, Mr. Harold Lloyd said com- pla.ina,nt was a single girl, 21 years of age. Defenda.nt was a married man, and com- plainant was aware of the fact when advan- tage was taken of her. As a result, a child was born in September last, and if the evi- dence oould be relied upon the corroboration was overwhelming. Complainant, who now lives at 51, Ethel- street, eaid the baby was a male, and was born on September 21, and the father was defendant, who lived at Twynyrodin, near Wenvoe. She was confined at Cadoxton, and had known defendant a good many years. Separated from his wife, defendant came to her in October, 1905, and invited her to come and nurse his mother, who was ill in bed. She went and stayed there for some time. On Christmas night they went to the house of witness's sister, and stayed there until 10.30, and on their return intimacy took place, and was from time to time repeated. When she told defendant of her condition he suggested that she should go to an old lady at Cardiff until it was all over, and then he would put the baby out to nurse. Defendant Gave Her a Locket. in which was a look of his hair, and also a brooch. By Mr. Daviee: I have never kept com- pany with a jockey named Dan Davies, and I did not tell Mrs. Head that I had been to Cardiff with Davies and had drunk with him. I know a man named Babhe, and saw him when he came home on furlough, but he never came to the house. Witness went on to say she used to be in service at the Vic- Ltoriai Park Hotel, Canton, and when there she never kept company with a boiiermaker, and she had never stated that she had received money from this boiiermaker, in- cluding a sovereign at the Ty Pwll Coch Hotel. A string of' witnesses was called, the last being defendant, who absolutely denied the im pu tatiom. Mr. Harold Lloyd produoed the tell-tale locket. Defendant then alleged that the girl took the trinket from him. "Look wlliat is inside," chipped in Mr. Harold Lloyd, as he handed up the locket. Witness (not tho least taken aback) said She cut the hair off one night-the same ,time that she took the locket. Defendant, in answer to his worship, said he was unaware of the girl's condition until the summons was served upon him. A month after she had been confined?—Yes. The Stipendiary: I don't believe a word this man utters. Mr. Davies after this intimation did not proceed further. SCENES IN COURT. His Worship mads an order upon defen- dant to pay &I, a week until the child attains the age of fourteen, together with five guineas advocate's fee, the expenses inci- dental to the birth, and court costs. DefeTida-nt (excitedly): I shall not pay it. Police-constable Thompson (catching hold of defendant) said: Ccme this way. Tho Stipendiary: Turn him out of the court. The command was obeyed, but the trouble wae not yet over, for presently feminine screams, as it seemed from both fear and pain, were heard in the corridor. The court officers rushed outside to quell the disorder. One of the witnesses Mrs. Olive Williams, who carried a baby, complained that defen- dant's mother had gripped her by the throat. The witness was very agitated in conse- quence. John Williams, husband of the last witness, said defendant threatened to knock out his —— brains, and he put up his fist to strike him, when witness tumed his bad: upon him. and avoided the blow. The Stipendiary ordered warrants for assault to issue forthwith, and issued the ukase, Arrest them now" before they leave the town. The commission was acted upon with great promptitude, and in no more time than it takes to write it all the parties were At the Feet of Justice Defendants (mother and son) sat together, and stood up to face the stipendiary on tho charges formulated against them. Eli Heard was charged with assaulting John Williams; Lydia Ann Heard (63) was charged with assaulting Olive Williams. Eli was the first to face the music. Court-officer Bet-tie saidi he a rested pri- so-nor in Mr. Chick's yard (Westgate-street). He denied the oharge. The Stipendiary (to prisoner): You are remanded in custody until to-morrow. Eli: All right, sir. The old lady next took up her position, and Polke-constable Beetle gave evidence of arrest, adding tha.t at the police-station defendant said she merely caught hold of complainant's dress. Here the witness put her hand to her throat to identify the identical spot. His Worship: Remanded until to-morrow. The old lady, as she limped away to her quarters said, "I was never in a court before."

Tug Wrecked by Fire. OUTBREAK ON THE USK LAST NIGHT J Between ten and eleven o'clock on Wednes- day night the Newport fire-brigade were called to the river bank, where it was found that the steam tug Katie, belonging to Mr. Edwin John Walker, of the Mariners' Arms, Botany, which was moored to the Risca Wharf, had taken fire. The alarm was gi-en by a constable on duty in the Oorporation-road district, and when the brigade reached the place, under the command of Superintendent Tothill, the flames had secured a good hold of the vessel. The firemen played on the flames for ever an hour before obtaining the mastery, but by this time the tug had been reduced to a total wreck. How the fire originated is at present a mystery. The tug had been on service down the river on Tuesday, and was on Wednesday night getting up steam to go out again to-day (Thursday). There was no one on the vessel at the time of the fire.

CARDIFF STEAMERS SUNK. I Crews Safely Landed. A Dublin telegram states that the steamer Ross, from Ayr, for Newport, in ballast, struck near North Bishops. The crew left the steamer in a sinking condition, and were picked up by the steamer Argo and landed at Dublin. The Ross, of 801 net registered tonnage, was built in 1881, and is owned by Messrs. J. Cory and Sons, Cardiff- The Montrose Abbey I Advices were received at Cardiff to-day that the steamship Montrose Abbey, owned by Messrs. Pyman, Watson, and Co., Cardiff, has been sunk through collision in the Bordeaux river. Further news has been received at Cardiff Docks with regard to the sinking of the Mel- rose Abbey at Bordeaux. It appears (writes our Docks reporter) that the vessel was leav- ing the dock, when she came in collision with the Adoiph Meyer, inward bound. The Melrose Abbey immediately began to sink, but she is not completely submerged. Her cargo is being discharged, and there is every prospect of her being sa.lved.

A BETTING THREAT Mr. Jeremiah Macveagh asked the Post- master-General in the House of Commons! this afternoon whether his attention had been called to the fact that at a meeting at the Holborn Town-hall on Monday to denounce the Street Betting Bill a speaker threatened that within five minutes of the passing of the Bill he would send a betting telegram from the Lobby of the House of Commons; iand whether he would give in- structions to prevent this threat being carried out. (Laughter.) Mr. Buxton said he had not seen a report of the speech referred to. He had no power to prevent an hon. member committing a breaoh of the law. That would be for another Department to deal with. (Laughter.) Mr. Masveagh: Who is the hon. member. Mr. Buxton: I cannot tell. Mr. Macveagh: I can. (Laughter.) Mr. Plarvin Perhaps the right hon. gentle- man can say on which side of the House the nioble lord sits. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Buxton: I have no knowledge.

SLAVERY IN ZANZIBAR Mr. Churchill, answering Sir Charles Dilke, in the House of Commons to-day, said Lord Elgin was of the opinion that the time had come to abolish the status of slavery in the Zanzibar coast strip, as well its on the island, and was in communi-catA with the •Secretary of State for Foreign Vffairs upon the question of the measures I be adopted to give effect to that policy. 4e hoped to xoafeo a definite s shawtly.

I WILL THE "BOKS" BE r BEATEN P Praise for "Teddy" Morgan. I "Will the Springboks be Beaten?" is the I title of an article from the pen of E. H. D. Sew ell in the London Opinion." Mr. Sewell says:-After thinking over the brief visit to Wales, I aim, inclined to say No." The introduction of such class for- wards as J. 1. Hodges and C. M. Pritohard, of Newport, into the pack that did duty for Glamorgan, and the second revival" of Gwyn Nicholla, will make the Welsh team stronger by a good deal than that which was really not very luoky to lose at Cardiff on the 31sit uilt. For IVales or anyone else to beat the South Africans, however, the plain, straightforward attack is of no avail. Taking the caisc of Wales v. South Africa, Wales have not two wings so good as Steg- mann and Loubser, or SûegIDann and Mara- burg, though they have one wing, Dr. E. T. Morgan, better than, either. Thus one South African wing will always be superior. All round, the South African third line will be faster than any third line in either the four Unions. The South African lime may not get much of the ball, owing to its for- wards being beaten for pon., but it has the ability to compensate for th.is by excep- tional speed in intercepting passes. In nine out of ten such interoeptionc, it scores tries by superiority of foot, only one back, Morgan, being really capable of overtaking a player thus off with a flying start. OTHER NATIONS. Scotland v. South Africa means that the Colonials must be not only beaten, but badly beaten, forward, for Scotland to win. Ireland v. South Africa is less promising, for the Irish pack was an exceptional one these last two seasons. It is backed by a pair of half-backs of high class and known to each other, end has at least one three- quarter who is the straightest and most determined runner of any British three-quar- ter. B. Maclear is quite as diffioeult to stop as Stegmann, but IrelandG are not getting full value out of him by playing him at centre. England v. South Africa finds us with, I fear, insufficient scoring strength among our backs, and good though our forwards are, they, too, lack scoring power, and are not likely to be much superior to the Colonial pack as to establish a winning mastery. Not one of the four teams has such a rally- ing defence as the South Africans possess. If the four internationals are played with- out the Colonials suffering accidental loss, and the luck of the game is evenly divided, I believe they are going to win all four- although it is no small matter to have to tackle the full strength of Wales before 50,000 thick and thin supporters of their opponents. I First International-v. Scotland I It has now been definitely decided to play I the Springboks v. Scotland mat-ch next Saturday, at the New Hampden Park, Glas- gow, aind the rival teams will be:- SOUTH AFRICA. I B-aci, A. F. Marsburg (Griqualand West); three-quarter backs, J. Loubser (Western Pro- vince), J. D. Krige (Western Province), H. A. de Viliters (Western Province), and A. Steg. ma-nn (Western Province); half-backs, H. W. Carol-in (Western Province) and F. Dobbin (Griqualand West); forwards, P. Roos (Wes- tern Province), W. A. Burger (Border), D. J. Brink (Western Province), W. S. Morkel (Transvaal), D. M'are (Transvaal), H. J. Daneel (Western Province), J. W. E. Raaf (Gridualand West), and D. Brookes (Border). SCOTLAND I I I -nacii, oJ. li. sscouiar ,vam-oriage univer- sity); three-quarter backs, A. L. Purves (Lon- don Scottish), M. W. Walter (London Scot- tish), T. Sloan (Glasgow Academicals), and K. G. M'Leod (Cambridge); half-backs, P. R. Munro (London Scottish) and L. L. Greig (Glasgow Academicals and United Services) (captain); forwards, D. R. Bedell-Sivright (Edinburgh University), W. P. Scott (West of Scotland), W. H. Thomson (West of Scotland), J. C. M'On Hum (Watsonians), L. M. Spiers (Watsonians), J. C. Geddes (London Scottish), H. G. Monteiith (London Hospital), and D. Fraw (Glasgow High School). Thomson, Spiers, Frew, and Geddes are new to international honours. Stegmann has been selected for the South Africans, but he is a doubtful starter, being I troubled by lameness. The back divasion of the Springboks is thoroughly in accord with expectations. With Burmeister injured, and Joubert, not yet arrived, there was no other choice for full- back but Marsburg. He has proved himsell a splendid man for the position, and his great games against Newport and Glamorgan will not soon be forgotten by those who wit- nessed them. The three-quarter line is t,he now famous Snellenbosch four-Lo-ubser, Krige, De Villiers, and Stegmann. They oould not be improved. Oarolin and Dobbin, the half-backs, are a moet serviceable pair. With regard to the forwards, there may be a dif- ference of opinion as to the best eight. For all-round forward work the Spring'boks have not earned much distinction up to the presemt. But they excel in line-out play, in which the height of their men is a decided advantage. On the whole, it is a strong, eer- vioeable side, which should be tho-rougttly capable of upholding the prestige and renown of South African football in their first inteT- national of the tour. W. E. Kyle, who has played in each of tihe Scottish internationals for the past five years, owing to an injured ankle, will be unable to play, and his place in the front rank will be filled by J. C. Geddee (London Scottish), who gains his first cap. Wales v Springboks I A reader of the Evening Express" sug- 1 geats that the following Welsh team would defeat the Springboks.- —Back, H. B. Winfleld- three-quarter backs, J. L. Williams (left wing), R. T. Ga,be (left centre), E. G. Nicholle (captain) (right centre), and E. T. Morgan (rigtht wing); half-backs, R. M. Owen and P. F. Bush; forwards. W. Joseph, C. M. Pridhard' D. Jones, J. F. Williams, A. F. Handing, Goo. Boots, R. Thomas, and J. Brown. Ireland v South Africans I Mr. John Tulloch, president of the Scottish I Union, will act as referee in the inatch between Ireland and the South Africans at Belfast on November 24.

MORE CONGO HORRORS. I Trophies of Babies' Hands I More horrors from the Congo are given. in the diary of the Rev. Joseph Clark, American Baptist missionary at Ikoko, which is re- printed in the November journal of the Congo Reform Association. Since 1893 a flourishing town of 4,000 inhabi- tants has been reduced to a oowering hamlet of 600. The district has been drained of rubber and of its life-blood by methods illustrated by the following quotations from Mr. Clark's diary:— Imagine the soldiers returning from fight- ing some rebels'; see, on the bow of the canoe ie a. pole and a bundle of something on it. These are the hands (right hands) of sixteen warriors they have slain. Warriors!' Don't you see among them the hands of little children and girls (young girls or boys)? I have seen them. I have seen Where even the trophy has been cut off while yet the poor heart beat strongly enough to shoot the blood from the out arteries to a distance of fully four feet. We have seen a child of between three and four years of age, Whose hand was cut off by soldiers of the State. The soldiers began to cut off the left hand, but noticed their mistake and then severed the right, one. M Nearly all Ikoko is in tle bush-this ever. lasting rubber is sending lots into eternity and many to live like wild beasts in the wood, where they are afraid to make a, fire far tear of attracting the man-hunters."

Trunks are dull, and Mexican Bails have given way 4 to i, on profit-taking. In the Foreign Market Japanese Bonds meet with strong support, and show an advance of i to Ii. Bus- siajia are also firm, the Four per Cents, advancing to 761 and New Ftve per Oents. to 6i discount. South Africans are idle, and show a sagging ten- dncy. Westralians maintain a finn tone. There has been some good buying of Siberian Proprietary, which are 9-16 better at lOA, and Orsk Goldfields are 7-32 higher at 211-32.
