WALK ROUND THE WORLD j Captain M. Clarke, of Douglas, Isle of Man, arrived in Swansea on Thursday on his walk round the worlcT, which he states he is doing for a wager of £ 10,000. The principal conditions of the wager entered into with Lord Lonsdale and Captain Ogden, of Southport, were that he is not to beg, borrow, or steal on his journey, his means of subsistence to be derived from lecturer and the sale of programmes of his tour. The distance claimed to have been covered so far is 12,950 miles, and already the cap tain has worn out 22 pairs of boots. He leaves Swansea Castle for Cardiff at noon to-day (Friday). Captain Clarke has stated his experiences to the local papers, and ays that he started from Yarmouth in a suit made of news- papers, and proceeded over the Continent, and then back to Hull, whence lie. walked to Scotland and back to Liverpool, thence to Ireland, and thence to Wales. To the uninitiated this seems a peculiar route to go round the world," especially as the walker claims to be "in advance of his time." He gives the distances that he has to accom- plish at 52,000 miles by land and 28,000 miles by water, so that this certainly allows him the considerable latitude and longitude he seems to require. It is also suggested that two gentlemen are wagering P,10,000 on the result, but it is not stated who the arbitra- tor is to be.

CARDIFF VESSEL ASHORE AT BORDEAUX. HER CARGO OF PITWOOD BEING DISCHARGED. PRICE OF THAT COMMODITY REACHES A RECORD. A telegram reached Cardiff on Thursday morning to the effect that the steamship Melrose Abbey, owned by Messrs. Pyman, Watson (Limited), had been sunk in the entrance to Bordeaux, but that her crew were saved. It transpired later that the Melrose Abbey was leaving the river when she came into collision with the steamship Adolf Meyer. She was badly damaged, but Captain Billot succeeded in beaching her. Her cargo of pitwood is being discharged, and it is hoped that the vessel will be repaired sufficiently to permit of her removal to dry dock in the course of a few days. The Melrose Abbey is a. vessel of 736 tons net register, built in 1877. The intelligence that the vessel had su-nk caused a sharp advance in pitwood prices at Cardiff. As previously mentioned in our columns, pitwood has been for some little time exceptionally scarce, and within a com- par,atively short period has advanced from 18s. to 28s. per ton, the latter being the price at which sales of small quantities were effected on Wednesday. When it was known that the Melrose Abbey, which was laden with a cargo for Mr. Lester Jones, had sunk, the possibility of the scarcity of wood becoming accentuated resulted in the price going as high as Xg. per ton, which is T,?l,,? highe.st figure reached for several years.

ACTION AGAINST CARDIFF DOCTORS. ——— In the King's Bench Division on Thursday (before Mr. Justice Grantham) the case of Sothern v. Thomas and Skyrme was men- tioned. This is the case which was hea-rd at the Cardiff Assizes in March, and in which the jury disagreed. Mr. Duke, K.C., for the plaintiff, said it. had been arranged that the case should be kn the list for Monday next, and it was a case in which a. good dea.l of medical export evidence would be called. Mr. Pepper, one of the chief witnesses for the plaintiff, would be enga.ged in a murder trial on Monday and Tuesday next; therefore, it would be impos- sible for him to attend on Monday. He asked his lordship to say that the case should Dot be taken before Thursday next, which would suit both poo-ties. Mr. Ookwn, for the defendants, said that they wanted the case on as soon as possible, hut, under the circumstances, he would not oppose t.he application. His Lordship said that he would let it stand in the list for Thursday next after any part- heard case or any case on the list. As he had to be in the Central Criminal Court next Week any other application would have to be made to some other judge.

FERREIRA'S FORCE. THREE RAIDERS CAPTURED. Gen. Botha's Offer of Assistance. CAPE TOWN, Thursday. Three of Ferreira's followers, including Ferreira's brother and a native spy, have been captured.-Reuter. DRAGHOENDER, Thursday. A strong patrol of Mounted Rifles under Captain Grant is now co-operating in this district with the mounted police force, 100 strong, under Major Halse, which reached Marydale yesterday. Heliographic communi- cation has been established at Marydale, which will probably become the base. Ferreira is reported to be at Zwartzkop, ten miles north of Kheis, on the Orange River. He is entirely dependent on loot for fresh supplies of arms and ammunition. The patrol commanded by Sub-inspector Adams is in close pursuit of the gang, which is reported to be increasing in numbers.— Press Association Foreign Special. An Intercepting Movement GRIQUATOWN, Thursday. The greatest excitement prevails here regarding the movements of the raiders. A body of 25 men raised locally has set out in the hope of intercepting them. All ammunition has been brought in from the stores outside the town. The Cape police have gone out in various directions to scour the country. PRETORIA, Thursday. Replying to General Botha's offer of assistance against Ferreira, Lord Selbourne, after expressing his thanks, said he was always sure that General Botha disapproved of the raid. His lordship added that he had no doubt that the Cape Government would deal with the movement successfully— Reuter. 300 Natives Killed PRETORIA, Thursday. While a native commissioner was engaged yesterday in carrying out an order for the removal of three rebellious natives from Atnos Matihi's kraal, in the neighbourhood of Haman's kraal, a. faction fight occurred in which 300 natives are reported to have been engaged. Several of the combatants were injured. A force of constabulary* has gone to arrest the ringleaders in the fight and to effect the removal of the troublesome individuals.-Reuter. The Outbreak in Natal I PIETERMARITZBURG, Thursday. Speaking in the Legislative Council to-day Mr. >1 ay don, Minister of Railways, stated that Colonel Mackenzie, who commanded the Natal forces during the rebellion and sa.ved South Africa from serious meniace to the prestige of the whites, would shortly receive a signal lionour.-Reuter.

A WORN-OUT BUGBEAR I Considerable criticism has been evoked in the Canadian press by the recent articles in English newspapers on the Americanisation of Canada. The Ottawa Journal says such talk is purely mischievous. If not deliberately cal- culated toO assist the United States experts in tlic i,r chosen task of hypnotising t,he British Colonial Office to the betraying of Colonial interests, it is bound to contribute to that end. The "Montreal Witness" saysThis Americanisation talk is a worn-out bugbear. Imperial sentiment is strong in Canada, but it could be fostered by the British Govern- ment making more liberal Post Office regula- tions for the transmission of British- periodi- cal literature to this country.Retiter.

BOARDERS AND BEER. I POLICE OFFICER'S VISITS TO I BUTE-STREET HOUSES. A Spanish lady, named Pelir Garcia, Who is the proprietress of a boarding-house at 160, Bute-street, was charged before the stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) at Cardiff Police-court on Thursday with selling intoxicants without a licence. Mr. Harold Lloyd defended, and said there was no dis- pute as to the facts. Mr. Carey Daboidy acted as interpreter. Inspector Ben Davies deposed that at 9.40 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 bottles 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. Mr. Harold Lloyd raised the defence, which was supported in evidence by defendant, that some of the beer was for home consumption, whilst as to the rest one of defendant's fellow-countrymen had given her a present of a coloured sash and shawl, and she sent the girl out to fetch some bottles of beer as a gift on the strength of the present. Inspector Davies gave evidence of previous visits, stating that he had seen large quan- tities of beer taken into the house in flagons, J 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 zC25 and costs, or one month in default of distress. Wilham 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 similar charge was preferred against Pedro Pavacaldo, who keeps a boarding- house for seamen of Spanish nationality at 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. The sale wa,s absolutely denied, and it was stated in evidence that if any of the boarders wanted beer they had to send out and pay I for it. The case being one of doubt, his Worship dismissed the summons.

DIED IN A WAITING-ROOM j TRAGEDY AT THE CARDIFF GREAT I WESTERN STATION. On the arrival at Cardiff Great Western Railway Station at 11.30 o'clock on Thursday morning of the Irish boat train from Pad. dington to Fishguard, 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 de&th to heart failure, following upon some suefden exertion. Deceased on leaving his van went 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 a fit and died in one of the waiting-rooms. King had not complained to anyone of feeling iil, and on leaving Paddington he appeared to be in good health. King joined the railway service in 1871 at Swansea, of which place he was a native, and where his brother-in-law (Mr. Protheroe) still resides. He was made guard in September, 1875, and sent to New Milford. In 1B32 he was removed to Paddington. He worked the Torquay express for twelve years, and acted as Royal guard, being presented by his Majesty with a bronze mcda'. King was one of two brothers, both being guards, and was 56 years of age. He was appointed to the Irish boat-express only this week, and it is of interest that, while he worked the 8.45 a.m. boat train from Paddington to Fish- guard, his brother, John King, was in charge of the 8.45 p.m. boat-train from Pad- dington to Fishguard. Deceased leaves a widow and two children. His cousin is in service with Mrs. Vernol-i Hill, and when his brother and the widow arrived in Cardiff by the 6.30 train on Thurs- day night they were met by Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Hill, and the widow stayed the night witlh Mrs. Hill at Caerau.

ILOVE AT FRST SIGHT Prince Sacrifices Fortune to Marry Mayor's Daughter. STORY OF THE BETROTHAL I need not say that I am more than happy. I have broken away from the traditions of my house because I placed my own happiness and that of my bride above acient (prejudices. As long as I live I shall rejoice that I had the firmness to cut my- self loose from mediaeval prejudices. In these words Prince Eberwyn of Bent- heim-Steinfurt, who sacrifices his royal birthright and an annual income of L250,000 in order to marry the daughter of a retired tradesman, assured me (writes the Berlin correspondent of the Daily Express ") of his ccmplete happiness. I am now able rto relate the full story of the betrothal of the romantic couple. The bride's father. Christian Langenfeld, began life as a peasant. Before he reached manhood he abandoned agricultural life and obtained employment in a State school at Berleburg. Afterwards he went into business at Hueckswagen, a town of be-tweent 3,000 and 4,000 inhabitants, of which be Subsequently Beoame Mayor Last summer, having retired from public life, he went to Weisbaden in order to take the cure. He was accompanied by his daughter Lilly. It was here that the Prince, who was also taking the cure, first saw Mi&3 Langenield. He was intr-oduce-d to her, and her friends declare that it was a case of love at nrst sight. She is a tall, graceful girl, full of vivacity. A fortnight later the Prince made a formal proposal of marriage. The girl's father at first opposed the match, perceiving the diffi- culties in the way of the lovers, but the Prince's enrtlhusiaem swept away his doubts, and ihe then, gave his consent to the betrothal, which was celebrated at Wies- baden, according to the German custom, by a festive gathering. The Prince, who was fully aware from the beginning of the sacrifices the match would involve, wrote to his father formally Renouncing His Birthright Pressure wm brought to bear on the Prince in the highest circles, and the mem- bers of his family warned him that the mar- riage would probably turn out to be a.n unhappy one owing to the divergent tastes of the contracting parties. Even Miss Langenfeld, recognising the force of the worldly arguments advanced, in for-nied the Prince that he might consider himeelf quite free. The Prince, however, cast aside all the objections, and proceeded to make arrange- ment is for the wedding. They took Dr. Moelten into their confidence, went to Lon- don, and were secretly married at t rie Strand Registry Office. It is said that a family arrangement has been made whereby the Prince will receive an annual allowance sufficient to enable him to live in comfort as a gentleman farmer.

Welsh Football Union. DR. BUIST'S SCHEME FOR REFORM I In connection with the movement initiated by Dr. Bjuist, of Cardiff, and advocated in the Evening Express," for a reform in the constitution of the Welsh Football Union an import-ant and unexpected development has taken place. According to a resolution passed at the last annual meeting of the Cardiff Club circulars were issued to clubs affiliated to the Welsh Union inviting them to send representatives to a meeting to be held at Cardiff on Decem- ber 13 for the purpose of determining upon ways and means of bringing about the reform which Dr. Buist has in view. That a serious view has been taken of the reform movement is proved by the fact that three Welsh clubs have taken advantage of Bye-law No. 10 of the Welsh Union in the way of sending a requisition to Mr. Walter Rees, the Welsh Union secretary, for a special meeting of the Welsh Union to con- sider the whole question. This particular bye-law provides:- That the secretary shall convene a special meeting at a.ny time on receiving a requisi- tion to that effect, signed by the captains and secretaries of not less than three clubs belonging to the Union, provided that the object of the special general meeting is not arranged for in the bye-laws or laws of the game. It need hardly be said that no provision is made for such a broad question as the reform of the Union, and the special meeting will, accordingly, have to be convened. Whether that meeting will be held before or after December 13 is a, matter for the Welsh Union to decide; but, in amy event, the position is an interesting one, and the foot- ball public will await developments with eagerness.

THE EXECUTION OF A WOMAN AT K ONSTADT The Prefect of St. Petersburg has sum- marily suppressed "The Russ." The motive is not officially given, but the action of the Prefect is understood to be due to Professor Kuzmin Karavaieff's article denouncing field coutrs-martial and asserting that a woman executed at Kronstadt was in a condition which rendered her death a flagrant defiance of the most sacred traditions of humanity. It is officially denied that she was about to b-eooom-e a mother. The denial does not, how- ever, conform with the popularly accepted version of the case. Not only is the allega- tion declared to be correct, but it is also marted that title woman's husband, who is in prison, .became insane on learning she htd been execut-ed.

SIR BUY VMO(i JOXtSS, lVI.P I AT ABERAVON. Sir Brynmor Jones, M.P., on Thursday opened a library which has been established in connection with Carmel Chapel, Aber- avon, and subsequently he delivered an address in the chapel on Libraries and Their Uses." Mr. Moses Thomas presided. Sir Brynmor advised those in charge of the library to introduce good books of reference and reliable histories. Preferring to the value of a knowledge of history, he said that had Mr. Chamberlain in introducing his fiscal policy referred to the past he would probably have formed a different opinion.

WELSH CAPTAIN DROWNEDI The captain of the Welsh schooner Catherine and Margaret, which trader between Liverpool and Carnarvon, was drowned in the Mersey on Thursday. He and a youth belonging to the crew were coming ashore in a rowing boat on a strong ebb tide, when it is thought the captain lost one of the oars, and in trying to recover it overbalanced and fell into the water, being carried away. The youth's shouts for help drew the atten. t'ion of the captain of a. passing ferry-boat to the drifting craft, and the lad was taken on hoard in an exhausted condition. The name of the deceased has not transpired. Father and Son Drowned. Lloyd's agent at Spurn Head telegraphed on Thursday night:—A small fishing boat belonging to Grimsby sank whilst crossing the bar of the Inner Binks. Father and son named Cooper were drowned.

WORKMEN FOUND DEAD A mysterious tragedy came to light late on Thursday evening in Newry, when the bodies of two men, named Harvard and Niaholson, were discovered at the back of a house in Queen-Htr-eot. Both men were engaged in repairing the roof of the house in question, and as they did not return t9 their homes at six o'clock their made inquiries, and as the result both ijVjfa were found lying dead. It is belieVed, t'tt too men missed their footing while on roof, or that one slipped and the other jdso fell in trying- to same hiaa*

Starters and Selections DERBY, Friday Morning. At Derby yesterday it was dull and showery, but, fortunately, there was an absence of the for which prevailed on Wednesday, and a good view of the racing was obtainable throughout. The attendance was again an excellent one all round, and the fields were of plethoric proportions. To-day the prin- cipal event is the Derby Gold Cup of 2,000 govs over a mile and six furlongs. Daring the loet few days there have been bet.ting returns on, the race, which point to the fact t.hat Homg Kong will be the real hope of J.. Powney's stable. It. is aaid that he was' unlucky at Liverpool when beaten by Goring -Re,a,t;h, and if he is caught in a generous mood to-day he might win easily enough. However, he is a horse that is easily upset, and. I must, therefore, look elsewhere for the wi niii ecr. Golden MeajTure has plenty of weight, amd if he were only to re-produce the form that he displlayed when beating Min- tagon in the Great Ebor Handicap, to-day's race would be all over. Killeagh meets the liatiter on 21b. better terms than at Kempton Park, and afterwards beat Bridge of Canny in the Free Handicap, but that form should not be reli-ed upon. Manaton will be Taylor's selected. Great Scot- has not. yet shown amy really great form in this country, but is believed to be now acclimatised. Magis Balm its said to be a rod in pickle" for this event, but the beat of a poor lot may turn out to be GOLDEN MEASURE, with HONG KONG the chief danger.

We believe that, in connection with the disqualifi- cation of Cisy's Revel at Hooton l'ark, the bets in this instance will go with the stakes. An objection to Cissy's Revel for the Neston Stee- plechase at Hooton Park was made by J J Maher, on behalf of Mr K F Malcolmson, owner of the second, on the ground that Captain Noel Money, owner of the winner, is a disqualified person. The latter having admitted that such was the case, the acting steward-Lold Cholmondeley, Lord Cole, and Mr Hall Walker-have disqualified Cissy"'s Revel and awarded the race to Sprig of Nobility.

A FIGHT FOR LI FE How a Submarine's Crew Met Their Fate. CAUSE OF THE DISASTER. I It is now known that the men of the ill- 'fated French submarine Lutin fought des- perately for their lives before being drowned. The commission of inquiry has reconsti- tuted the last moments of the vessel and its crew, and the story is told in all its dramatic horror in a telegram which the "Petit Pari- sien" will publish to-day from its Tunis cor- respondent. t It will be remembered that the sub-marine went out in rough weather, and was followed by the tug Iskeul. After three dives Captain Fepoux signalled to the tug that he was about to drop 48ft. for a fourth dive. The water ballast was taken on board and the submarine disappeared in the waves. When it had arrived at a depth of 48ft. (as the manometer showed him), the captain ordered the valve to be shut. The sailor whose duty it was did so, but when the valve was two-thirds shut the sluice stopped, and the sailor, Thinking It Was Closed left it. The captain then ordered water to be pumped out, and his orders to that effect are oioted 011 the log. But the valve was open, and the water continued to pour in and the submarine to sink deepr. Then the turbine was set working, but under the pressure of the water six holes were torn in the sides of the Lutin, the accumulators were paralysed, and the wretched sailors worked feverishly in an inky darkness, broken now and again by a flash, as one short circuit after another occurred. In the dark the men felt their way to the compartment forward, for the turbine in the stern could not hold its own against the inrush of water. They reached the forward compartment, closed the partition, and fought feverishly for life. Then the lead weights of the fore part were set free, and the Lutin made a sudden leap above the surface of the water. The sailors on boad the Iskeul saw her leap out of the water prow upwards, Like a Dolphin at Play and plunge down again for the last time. The sailors on board the fated ship tore their shirts and clothes, and in their frantic fight for life tried to stop all openings until the Iskeul should bring help. It was exactly half-past ten when the water stopped the clock in the stern. The clock in the tower stopped at 11.25. For nearly hour the fourteen sailrs must have waited for the help which did not come, and then they made one last desperate bid for safety. They opened the hood (capot), but the water rushed in like a mill sluice, and all was over. The cause of the disaster is believed to have been a little stone the size of a walnut, which became fixed in the valve and pre- vented it from closing properly.

j Draper's Shop Gutted MOTHER AND DAUGHTER BURNT TO I DEATH A terrible fire occurred in the small hours of this morning at a iincn drapers shop in Bermondsey-street, S.E The premises were completely gutted, and the proprietress, Mrs. Deeks, and her daughter, Ada Deeks, were burned to death. The firemen succeeded in rescuing Bert Deeks, son o. the proprietress, but he is eo severely injured that his recovery is not an ticipat-ed. His sweethear, a Miss Bush, was in the house at the time, and saved herself by jumping from a second floor window, injur- ing herself badly. Both are now lying in Guy's Hosuital.

A SAILOR AND HIS MONEY. William Morel, a ship's fireman, was paid off on Wednesday, and at Viotoria. Station, London, he booked to his home at Rouen. Be then went to a money-changer's, and while changing £8 into French money he, noticed that G-ailo Legondo, aged 42, a well-i dressed man, had followed him. Legondo was charged yesterday at Westminster Polioe-court yesterday with .attempting to obtain money by false pretences. Morel told Mr. Curtis Bennett that while he was. waiting on the platform a. Frenchman remarked to him that, as they were fellow- countrymen, they should have some refresh- ments together. They then repaired to a public-house, and Legondo followed them and joined in the conversation, and several times paid for drinks. Legondo said he was a bad sailor, and that if Morel would look aftr him and his money on the boat he wou? pay his expenses even to Paris. Morel refused to take charge of the money offered to him, though pressed to do so by both men, and when he nailed a policeman they ran off in different directions. The prosecutor added that he did not spend any money in the public-house. Legondo was remanded.

-= PROPOSED NEW MINERS' UNION Mr. Stephen Jacobs, speaking on Tlr.wsday at Gilfach Goch Constitutional Club, aHudcd to the new Miners'Union, and said that 'it was to be non-party, non-political, amd exclusively- labour. Not a single member, so far as he was aware, of the Conservative party had anything to do with the new scheme. In the ea.rly spring of 1907 the active propaganda of the new Lmon would begin, and the miners' leaders would find the promoters from amongst their own household.

CARDIFF INFIRMARY TICKETS At a meeting of the governors of the Car- diff Infirmary consideration was given to the report of the sub-committee appointed to consider the advisability of abolishing the j 111 and out-patient tickets. The resolu- tion adopted by the sub-committee was that it.was not desirable at the present time to abolish subscribers' tickets, but that where the circumstances of the patient- were other- wise suitable for treatment the production of such tickets should cease to be compul- sory.—Tho recommendation, however, was deleted.
