I Padding His Figure. 0 I WAISTCOAT DID NOT FIT Considerable amusement was created at the Soufthwiark Oounty-court yesterday by the ruse of a. debtor, a foreigner, to throw a suit of clothes on the bainds of his tailor, when Mr. Isaac Adler, a tailor, sued George Spink for P,2 10s., balance of the price of a isuit of clothes. The defendant emphatically declared that the coat and waLstooat were so tight that he could not breatiie. Having dressed himself in the robing-room, he returned into couTt with the wiaietooat open down the front, it being impossible to button it. The plaintiff suggested tihat the defendant must have .padded himself. "All," said his honour to the defendant, "jniSft go into the robing-room, remove your und-iclothing, and bring all the garmenxe I in. The defendant empli-at-ioally declared that sently a consitable returned into court and held up three thick woollen shirts and a heavy woollen guernsey, whidh he had stripped from the defendant. The court roared with laughter, and his honour, with grave humour, exclaimed: Bring the gentleman into court tihat he may receive sentence. (La/ughteir.) The Constable: Shall I give him his clothiew, your honour? (Laughter.) HiB Honour: *»'i, yes, let him dress first. In due course tlhe defendant returned into court looking very shamefaced. His Honour: There is judgment for the plaintiff lor L2 10s. and costs, and if you will orcly return to the gentle habit of one shirt and one underveeit the suit will fit you perfectly. (Laughter.)

ACTRESS & ACTOR MANAGER Mr. Danncy Lawrence, an actor, petitioned in the Divorce Court yesterday for the disso- lution of his marriage of his wife Marie with a Mr. Somerfield, described as an act-or manager. Mr. Rayden said the marriage tok pla-oo at the Strand Registry happily till 1901, when Mrs. Lawrence, who was an actress, got to- gether a company of her own and went on tour with Mr. So-merfield as her actor manager. The husband, who was not in- cluded in the company, went to America. Cunsel said that Mrs. Lawrence had plenty of money, requiring nothing from her has- band, who was not doing as well as she was. Whilst acting in America the husband beard that his wife was misconducting ber- self with her actor-manager, and at once came home. His wife, however, asked him not to take proceedings, saying she was very ill and dying, and he did not then commence a suit. When Mrs. Lawrence recovered she still continued to live with her actor-manager, and the husband had to take proceedings. The president granted a decree nisi.

I RIGHT TO THE MOUSTACHE. I I A French deputy, M. Antide Boyer, from Marseilles, propoeee to introduce a, Bill to punish by fine and imprisonment any employer of labour who ehall forbid his employed to wear a moustache. That prohibition, M. Boyer contends, is a badge of sei .itude, a. survival of the bar- baric ages when warriors arrogated to them- selves the sole claim to the heroic virtues by flaunting a few hairs on their upper lips. That is true, no doubt (says the Daily Gnaphic"), but it is not the whole truth. For, if the tradition that the moustache was a. purely military appendage persisted until after Jos. Sedley swaggered about Brussels with that ornament upon him on the eve of Waterloo, thereby deluding the public into the belief that he was a British officer, times have changed now.

FARMER DROWNED IN SNOW I James Mercer, ged 52, a farmer, of Rich- mond House, Chip'iMTig, after attending Preston market, on Saturday, started to walk hom-e from Loingridge, a distance of seven miles, over Lomgtridge Fell', on a dark and stormy nigM. Next morning a, farmer named Greenwood had his attention drawn, by his dog to a ditch, where he found Meroar kneelimg, with hate face in three inches of melting snow. A maze of footprints kri, the snow showed that Mercer had utterly lost himeeHf, amd finally flatten exhausted c his face in the ditch. A verdict of "AccidemitiaMy drowned" was returned at the inquest held yesterday by tihe Ba-st lianeaehtre coroner. »

THE CHERBOURG COLLISION I Sir Gorcll Barnes, sitting on Tuesday in the Admiralty Cooirt witih Trinity Masters, decided that the North German Lloyd steamer Raiser Wd-lih-elm der G-roeee was eoldy responsible for tihe recent serious colli- sion betw.¡x i that vessel and the Royal Mail 'r Packet Company's steamer Orinoco at Oher- bour.g. The owners of tthe Orinoco claimed damages for the collision against the Gennan company, and there was a counter-claim. Four paeeengers on the Kaiser "Wilhelm were killed and others injured. His Lordship held that t'he cause of the col- lision was tfoat tlhe Kaiser Wilhelm was coaming ou,t of the port of Cherbourg at, a high rate, erroneously expecting to pads ahead of the Orinoco. The Orinoco wae justi- fied in expecting that the German vessel would pasa her port side to port, and he must hold that the planting had committed no error in default. His lordship added that this collision demonstrated the great advan- tage of schooner bows. Had the Orinoco not been so constructed it was very possible that the collision might have bean a mucih more disastr-oue affair. Judgment was accordingly entered for the owners of the Orinoco, with coste, the damages to be assessed. I

DISTRESS IN SWANSEA. In the House of Commons on Tuesday, Mr. KEIR HARME (La;b., Merthyr Tydftl). asked the President of the Local Government Board whether his department on the 12th of October refused to make a grant to the Swansea Distress Committee, and informed that body that if it anticipated that it would be requisite to provide temporary work during the forthcoming winter it must rely upon voluntary contributions meeting the coet, and in that ease every effort, Should be made by means of public appeals and otherwiso to obtain the contributions' required; and, if so, whether, with a view to encourage local contributions, he was now prepared to make a grant to Swansea and other distress committees similarly circum- stanced. Mr. J. BURNS, in reply, said the first part of the question appeared to r&fer to a circular which he sent to some of the distress committees, including that for Swansea, on the 12th of Octobor last, and in which he srtated that on the information before him he did not propose to make any payment to them out of the grant. He had not received any communication from the Swansea Distress Committee. The object of the grant was not that a payment should be made out of it to every distress committee, but to enable that to be done in those localities in which the need of assistance in providing or contributing to the provision of temporary work was of a clearly exceptional character, j It was only where that wae the case that he was prepared to consider a-a application for a share of the grant. Mr. KEIR HARDIE asked was the right hon. gentleman aware that in Swansea 600 or 800 men were registered as being unemployed, aqid, as there were no local funds, unless a grant were made they would be entirely destitute. Mr. BURNS sa,id he would be glad to receive any application the Swansea Distress Committee might send, containing not only the number of applications registered, but | particulars of work of public utility on which they could be employed. He would I promptly respond to their letter. Mr. J. WARD (Lab., Stoke-on-Trent) inquired I whether the right hon. gentleman had received from the local distress committee any complaint that a contractor in the locality had been advertising for men when lineii were not required, and whether that fact had caused a; considerable amount of distress. Mr. BURNS regretted that any contractor should resort to that artifice, especially as he did not want the men. He had received no communication, however, to that effect. — I

BILL ON THE ROCKS Deadlock on Education I IMPORTANT STATEMENT TO- I DAY. j The Education Bill has, it is now stated, not yet been finally abandoned. There is still hope that conciliatory counsels will pre- vail which will prevent the measure from being wrecked. When, the House of Lords assembled yes- terday afternoon, Lord Ripon. intimated the 1 postponement of the discussion, and said it would still be open for a statement to be made at the close of other business. This was construed at; meaning that the Government hoped to be able to report a compromise in the evening. No report, how- ever, was forthcoming. Priv-ate negotiiatione a.t Lord Crewe's house, in which leading at.atesmen participated, took place yesterday; but we understand that the representatives of the two parties separated without arriving at a settlement. The rock on which the Education Bill may go to pieces (says the Daily Chroniele") is the quesiao-n. of the teachers. The Umiomisit leaders urge that the head-teaclieis should be made as free as tbe a.-sistemt-teachers to volunteer to give religious inSitructlon in urbaon schools. They aieo presB for a pro- I vision that one teacher in each stogie-school area should be available for the same ser- vice. I Meeting of Unionists I It was noticed that immediately the Upper House proceeded to other business the Bishops, headed by the Primate, trooped out of the Ohamber, Lords Lansdowne and Salis- bury, followed soon after by Lord Crewe, also leaving. A big private meeting of Unionist peers took place in Mr. Balfour's room imme- diately afterwards, Lord La-nsdowlne being present. It was understood that the negotiations were still in progress up to a late hour last night. The Duke of Devonshire's aid was enlisted, and a conference, at which the Duke was present, took place in the Prime Minister's private room at the House of Commons. The Obstacle." I The "Times" says:—There is reason to believe that the obstacle to a settlement which rendered futile the Crewe House con- ference is now finally regarded by the Oppo- sition leaders as insuperable. The crux of the matter is the refusal of the Government to place rural teachers in the same category as their fellows in urban areas in the matter of religious instruction—a concession insisted upon by Mr. Balfour and his friends as a condition precedent to their acceptance of the other projected modifications. It is not expected, therefore, that the Bill will be returned to the Commons, which means that in all probability Parliament will be pro- rogued on Friday, or at the latest on Satur- I day. The Bill to be Dropped I The impression certainly exists, in all POli-1 tical quarters ?s?ya the Standard"), that l the negotiations have failed, and that the Bill will forthwith be dropped by the Govern- ment. Lord Ripon has a notice on the Lords Order Paper to move the suspension of stand- ing orders this afternoon, so that the adjourned consideration of the Education Bill shall have precedure over aJI other business. Meeting of the Cabinet I A meeting of the Cabinet was held this j morning, at 10, Downing-street. It is under- j stood that at this meeting the Government I will come to a final decision as to its atti- I tude regarding the Education Bill. Informal Comm unicatipn I Informal communications are again to-day passing privately between f veral of the poli- tical leaders with regard to the fate of the Education Bill. lit is still extremely doubtful whether any It is still extremely doubtful whether any such terms can be arranged as will save the measure." Such ie the opinion expressed this morning by a member of the Government, but it is "understood that no definite or official announcement upon the subject will be made until the House of Lords meets this, afternoon.

Three Men & Boat Lost I A FERRY DISASTER I A ead accident has occurred in Loch Fyne whereby Alexander Mianro (a. head-keeper), Gregor Crawford, and Arthur Cornell (a butler) lost their lives. They were crossing from Achnaba, to Otter Ferry soon after five o'clock in a rowing boat belonging to their employer, Major M'Rae Gilstrop, of Ballimore, when cries were heard. A search party set out, but, after rowing all night, no trace of the missing men or boat could be found. The loch is very deep at the ferry, and a strong current runs there. On Monday night half a gale of wind was blowing. The men were crossing on business for Major Gilstrop, I who first heard of the accident when atter 1- ing a county council meeting at Dunoon on Tuesday.

B. Ferrier. "Two lads, George Thomas Eley and George Talbot, both aged thirteen, were charged with stealing the heart from Roath Market on December 18.

Shot in the Side. LLANDOVERY MAJOR'S DEATH A fatal accident befell Major Drury, of Cynghordy Hall, Llandovery, on Tuesday evening. About four o'clock the deceased gentleman left the house, accompanied by two dogs, to shoot rabbits. He carried a double-barrelled hammerless gun, and it is surmised that in crossing the hedge of the kitchen garden the gun was discharged in some way. The shot entered the body below the ribs on the left side. The gun must have been very close to the body, as there was Dot a single stray shot. Major Drury had strength enough to stagger back to the house, where he fell on the sofa. Dre. Taylor and Rosser were immediately in attendance, but the injured gentleman expired before they reached the residence, which is six miles distant from Uandovery. The accident has created intense sorrow in the district, where Major Drury was much esteemed.

——■—— DV)IMIES IN EISTEDDFOD I,, CHOIR. I ALLEGATION IN A RHONDDA CHORAL DISPUTE. I JUDGE BRYN ROBERTS ASKED TO ARBITRATE. A dispute between two competing choirs at a recent eisteddfod at Ton Pentre formed the subject of investigation before his Honour Judge Bryn Bobrrts at Ystrad County-court on Tuesday in a case in which a good deal of interest was taken. The Treorky Music Lovers claimed a C12 prize awarded the Tonyrefail Choir at an eisteddfod held at the Workmen's-haII, Ton Pentre, on =be?? 22, the sum referred to being deposited in court by the eisteddfod committee, the defen- dants in the action. Mr. A. Thomas James appeared for the claimants, and Mr. D. Rees j for the plaintiffs, whilst Mr. T. Milliard represented the defendants. 1 The case for the claimants was that at the competition the plaintiffs had failed to comply with the conditions laid down that the choir should consist of 60 members, that at the time of competing the plaintiff choir contained only 36 bona-fide singers, together with five "dummies," who were selected from the audience by the conductor of the Tony. refail Choir for the purpose of swelling the numbers, and that under the circumstances the winning choir was disqualified from receiving the prize, which should then be handed to the claimants, who came in second in the competition, claimants having lodged a protest against plaintiffs competing. A number of witnesses, including Councillor Enoch Davies, the eisteddfod conductor, stated that the plaintiff choir numbered only 41. For the plaintiffs, it was contended that the choir contained 64 singers, and even if there was not the requisite number the fact that the plaintiffs were allowed to compete was tantamount to a waiver of any breach of the conditions. His Honour, having remarked that the Plaintiffs must have made a mistake in I regard to their number, gave judgment for l the claimants for the 112 claimed, with costs.

'A BIT OF ABERYSTWYTH." I TREDEGAR. COUNCILLOR 'MAKES I A PROMISE. A scene occurred at the fortnightly meeting of the Tredegar District Council on Tuesday. A proposal to widim a roztd at Dukestown was defeated, and the Sirhowy members protested. Mr. T. M. Williams com- plained that everything brought forward affecting Dukestown was refused.—Mr. Bosley: Bring it forward in a proper wa.y, and make provision in the estimate.—Mr. Wakefield If it affects Tredegar it does not matter whether it is in the estimate or not. It is scandalous, and I am disgusted. There will be a bit of Aberyetwyth Council here directly. A request by ratepayer in the Tredegar dist-riot for some kerbing and channelling was then considered and passed.—Mr. Williams said no provision was made for it in the estimate, and they did not even ask the cost. It was really scandalous, and he would not tolerate it, but would leave the room.—Mr. D. Davies: You can go then.- Mr. Wakefield: There is more wisdom going out than is left.—Mr. Wakefield then left the room., and made some remark which was inaudible.—The Rev. A. Barrett: If you have anything to say come back and 8a.y it. I

WILu GO INTO THE PASTRY I TRADE. I PENARTH HERMIT'S GLOWING # HOPES. The Penarth hermit, Samuel Baldwin, called at onr office on Tuesday night to let I us know how he is getting on. He said that I he is now carving a staircase in his cave with the object of making 0-n upper apart- ment. Ho is treated very kindly by the I tradesmen and residents of Penarth, and never lacka the necessaries of life. "I have never been happier," he said; "in fact, I am as happy as a king." "What are your future plans?" "I am going to open a shop to sell pastry, and I'll guarantee to make pastry equal to the best that can be got anywhere. When the summer comes I believe I shall do good I business.

BRn ISH COAL MINING. I j FATALITIES AND PRODUCTION COMPARED WITH AMERICA. I Mr. D. W. Williams, the American Consul I at Cardi. ff, in a report to the Washington Bureau of Manufactures, says that mining as a British industry dates back over 2,000 years, but in spite of all means known to the highest civilisation in the way of legislation, inspection, mine discipline, and invention, death s daily toll of lives abatee but slowly- The highest death-rate prevails in the Cardiff distriot., where to mine 22,815,107 tons of ooal 86,881 miners were employed, of whom 287 lost their lives, or an average of 3-Z out of eaoli 1,000 employed. The death-rate for the entire kingdom was 1,358 per 1.000.000. The average British miner is bom. anl not made, and when he takes up his father's pick he expects to wield it until he sur- rendens it to his selL This a.nd hi6 tempera- ment and other conditions IU-. him care- ful and deliberate to a degree unknown in America. It would appear that he is becoming more deliberate year by year, for the average number of tons mined per person has fallen gradually from 314 tons in 1899, to only 279 in 1904. Whether this slowing down of 35 tons in five years is due to the greater difficulties of mining or to the atti- tude of the miner is an open qiiestion. Referring to the last complete statistics, those of 1904, Mr. Williams says the American tonnage exceeded the British by almost 100,000,003 tons. To produce the American tonnage would require 1,262,761 British miners, whereas only 594,768 American miners' were engaged. The British death-rate is reduced by producing coal at a slower speed, and the American death-rate is increased by the higher intensity of production.

MEZLEY SINKING. I PROBABLE TOTAL WRECK. I The barque Mezley, on which the explosion I occurred on Monday at Port Talbot, was almost completely submerged on Tuesday, but remained in an upright position. All the body of the vessel was under water with the exception of the fc-reoa,tle and poop. She will be allowed to remain in this posi- tion until a decision is arrived at by the insurance companies as to what course shall be adopted to float and repair her, if possible. Mr. J. O'Sullivan, shipbroker, Port Talbot, who is the agent for the vessel, is of opinion that the re-floating, unloading, and repairing will eventually be carried out successfully. In conversation with several captains and shipping men at the docks our representative found that the prevailing opinion was that the Mezley is destined to become a total wreck, and that she will never survive the ordeal of salvage operations. There were some narrow escapes by trades- men and others in the town. The case of Messrs. Williams and Bees, shipping and general clothiers, Port Talbot, is one to point. This firm was supplying the Mealey with stores and clothing, and had the explo- sion occurred five, minutes later they would have been. on board. Fortunately, both the goods and themselves were saved. In another instance a lad from the graving dock named Le Garee had only just been sent from the vessel to fetch a hammer when the explosion occurred. Mr. O'Sullivan, jun., also was making his way on board when the explosion occurred. Mr. Alfred Davies, of the Docks Hotel, who, with Mrs. Da-vies, rendered such valuable aid to the injured, avers th&,t hi& supply of beer in the cellars of t-he hotel was interfered with by the explosion, which had precisely a similar effect upon it to thunder—that is, turning it from a clear to a grey colour. This indicates theut the hotel must have had a severe shaking. SUFFERERS VERY ILL.

TO FIGHT INFLUENZA. I Warning and Advice to Sufferers I "Influenza is very prevalent, doctor, ie it not?" observed a member of our staff to one of the most popular of Cardiff medicos. "It is," was the response. "I have a large number of cases, and I believe a great many other doctors are in the same position." "What is the cause of the malady?" "lit is due to a germ, which it is now generally agreed is borne on the air. Influenza, I might say, is not the new disease a vast number of people think. There is a widespread impression that it was first intro- duced into this country in the form of Russian 'la grippe' in 1889, but as a matter of fact medical history tells of it occurring in epidemic form as early as 1173." "Is there any means of avoiding the malady ?" "There is no immunity, but the mainten- ance of the general health at the highest pitch would tend in that direction. Of course, it is inadvisable to visit friends suffering from the complaint, but anyone is liable to an attack at any season of the year. The bacteria cling to a person's clothes, to luggage, or even to letters. To struggle against his illness on the part of an influenza patient is supreme folly. On the contrary, he should take to his bed immediately he is aware that he is attacked. The symptoms are well known. The patient feels his temperature rising, and pains all over the body." "During the feverish period the patient should take light nourishment at frequent intervals, such as chicken broth, milk, and soda water. When the attack is abating an abundant supply of nutritious and digeet/ible food is needed, as well as stimulants in the case of elderly patients. The medicinal treat- ment is well known to all doctors." "A final quest-ion. Is the disease serious?" "Influenza itself is not a dangerous thing, but its complications make it a very serious malady. Many fatal cases occur of bron- chitis, pneumonia, pleurisy, and heart failure." It is stated that nearly 400 members of the Metropolitan Police, and nearly 40 mem- bers of the Cardiff City Police are laid up with influenza, and commercial houses in Cardiff have had their staffs reduced by the exceptional changes of weather. ALDERMAN T. J. HUGHES AND I PRINCIPAL GRIFFITHS LAID UP. At a meeting of the Glamorgan County Education Committee held on Tuesday at the offices at Cardiff, under the chairman- ship of Dr. Morris, The Chairman announced that several members were unable to attend on account of the prevailing epidemic of influenza. Alderman T. J. Hughes telephoned that he was laid UP. and Principal Griffiths was con- fined to his bed. The clerk (Mr. Mansel Franklen) was also too unwell to attend, but for another reason. The Chairman said they all sympathieped with Mr. Fraaiklen in the severe trials he had undergone owing to the affection from which he suffered, and they all hoped he would soon return to his duties. Dr. Morris proposed a vote of sympathy with him, which was seconded by Alderman I E. H. Davies, and carried unanimously. .——————————————— t

ICBOUNCING AND BAWLING." I A short, sharp discussion took place at a meeting of the Pontypridd Electricity Com- mittee on Tuesday, in which some per- sonalities were indulged in. The chairman (Mr. James Roberts, J.P.) had ruled that an application for an increase of salary by a workman could not be discussed, and Mr. Moses Jones, who had been arguing to the contrary, moved the suspension of the stand- ing orders. While Mr. Jones was speaking some of the members were looking at some plans, and Mr. Taylor handed him a sketch with the remark. "Here. Moses, here's the plan for you"; whereupon Mr. Jones rejoined: If you can't set the gentleman don't act the fool. If you suppose that I come here to be subjected to ridicule you had better try it on. The Chairman appealed that personalities should not be indulged in. Mr. Jones: If you allow membv;s to insult me you can be prepared for the rest. The Chairman: There is too much per- sonality. It is painful when discussion descends to that. Mr. Taylor (to Mr. Jones): Do you refer to me? Mr. Jones: Yes. Mr. Taylor: He says I insulted him by handing him the plan. It is not for a wicked thoughted" man like him to challenge me that I insulted him. I can take part in discuseion without bouncing and bawling as he does. Mr. Jones (to the chairman): What do you say about those remarks? Do you consider them all right? The Chairman: I suppose Mr. Taylor handed the plan in a jocular manner. Mr. Jonee: It was not jocular; it was in a sneering manner. Mr. Taylor: I never did it in a sneering way. I simply said, "Here, Moses; here is the plan for you." The incident then closed.

RAPPIXGS AND WINDOW-SMASHING. I Ghostly rappings and window-smashing appear to have been delighting some prac- tioal joker at Caerphilly for some time past, I as mysterious noises have been heard, and the occupants of vthe house cone-erned were so annoyed, no, to say alarmed, that the I police were informed, and Inspeotor Daviee placed a man on specMJ duty in the vicinity. It is satisfactory to note that the :=n4?,- of the constable has had effect, as the disturbance has since ceased. TREFOEBST ORDINATION. I At Castle-square English Congregational Church, Treforest, the ordination services of the Rev. J. Evelyn Thomas, B.A., B.D., of the Memorial College, Brecon, to the pastorate of the church were held. The officiating ministere were the Rcvs, T. Lewis, Brecon, T. Walters, Mert^yf; T. Bees, Brecon; John Morris. Star street, Cardiff; G-. Jones, Pena?th; J?e?b Jones, Merthyr; PrO'fsor I Tyssil Evans, Cardiff, and the R4,? = Thomas, Merthyr. the father of the young pastor. CHAPEL BAZAAR AT BEDWAS. A two days' bazaar in aid of the building I fund of the English Baptist Church, Bedwas, was opened at the chapel on Tuesday after- noon. The chapel was prettily decorated. The opening ceremony was performed by the wife of Principal Edwards, Baptist College, Cardiff, assisted by the principal. The pas- tor (the Rev. J. C. Redmand) proposed a vote of thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Edwards. Good business was done daring the after- noon vi-nd. eveniasr at virions BtailBi

SUFFRAGETTES' DEFIANCE, I Mrs. Hill's Fine Paid. I Mr. Horace Smith, sitting at Westminster I on Tuesday, dealt with the suffragettes who were arrested in the main lobby of i.he j Houses of Parliament on Monday night while I declaiming for women's votes. The defendants arrived at the court at Rochester-row shortly after ten o'clock. They were all on bad!. Their naifies were given a,s- Miss Annie G. Fisher, London. Mrs. Emma Hillier, Liverpool. Mrs. Mary K. Hill, Cardiff. Mrs. Elizabeth Wills, Birmingham. Mrs. Mary T. Steel, Canning Town. Miss Olivia Smith, London. Mias Laura Richardson, London. Miss Patricia, Woodlock, Liverpool. Miss Ada Chatterton, Manchester. Mrs. Jennie Baines, Stockport, and Mies Mary Smith, Manchester. The charges were variously obstructing the police and resisting the police. Mr. Muskett, who conducted the proseca. tions on behalf of the police, said he was desired by the Commissioner of Police to say that the arrests of these women demonstra- tors were only made when they became abso- lutely necessary in the maintenance of public order. Every effort was made to induce these persons to go away in he first I instance. The Commissioner of Police also desired to say that, so far as he was con- cerned, he had no desire to press these cases in any undue manner. If they declined to pay the fines that would be imposed he hoped that the defendants would not be kept in gaol over the Christmas holidays. The Magistrate: I don't consider ip giving sentence whether Christmas Day intervenes or not. Ada Chatterton and Jennie Baines were first put into the dock, and the constable's story was that at 9.5 on Monday night 30 or 40 people were assembled in Old Palace Yard. They were shouting "Votes for women." WILFUL RESISTANCE. I When asked to go away Mrs. Chatterton replied, "I won't budge an inch." Both resisted arrest. Mrs. ChattertoD, when invited to ask the officer questions, said, Is there any law existing to say that women may not go into the House of Commons? I know of none. I resisted the police, as I always intend to do when they prevent me from going into the House. I ask, Is there a law:' The Magistrate: Yes, there is a law. Defendant: There is no law. The Magistrate: Everybody is forbidden. Defendant (proudly): So you know we don't obey the laws because we don't make them. The Magistrate: I fine you both 20e., or in default fourteen days' imprisonment. Mary Smith, of Manchester, was next put into the dock, the charge against her being disorderly conduct and resisting the police. The policeman who arrested her said he heard the defendant cry, "I won't be locked up; I won't be locked up." Defendant (hotly): I beg your pardon, I didn't say so, and I didn't struggle. The Magistrate: Twenty shillings or four. teen days. A similar fine was imposed in the case of all the other defendants, most of whom were well-dressed women. REQUIRED TWO POLICEMEN. I Miss Patricia Woodlock, of Liverpool, according to the policeman said, when asked to go away, "I will not go unless you carry me away. In reply to the charge at the police-station she said, It took two policemen to take me away, and I am proud of it." Defendant: That is right. I am Lancar shire. (Laughter.) The defendant was trying to give as a reason for the women's demonstration the poverty of people in the North, which would be altered, she said, if women had a vote, but the magistrate interposed: "I have nothing to do with the poverty of the North or with women's suffrage. All I have to do is to keep the peace." The defendant, on being sentenced, exclaimed, "I will do the imprisonment. I won't waste the money, i win ouy a new hat." (Laughter.) The defendants generally protested that they would not pay the fines imposed, and in default of doing so they will spend their Christmas in Holloway as first-class mis- t demeanants. MBS. HILL S FIKt PAID. I We are informed that Mrs. Mary K. Hillf fine was paid without her knowledge or per- mission. Deta-iled aocotmte of the disorders show that punctually as Big Ben struck nine, and when there were .about 50 people in the i lobby, Mrs. Hill jumped on a seat near the Iddessleigh statue and shouted, Never mind anything about education; we want to know about votes for women." Mrs. Hill wae King of the osu?tle for seconds ooly. The shocked and astonished police rushed in and puRed her down. PETITIONS FROM CARDIFF. I In the House of Commons on Tuesday Mr. Ivor C. Guest (R., Cardiff) presented petitions I in favour of the extension of the franchise to women from the Splott, the Grangetown, the Roath, the Adamsdown, and the Sooth and Central Branches of the Cardiff Women's Liberal Association, and also one against the adoption of legislation favourable to a form of undenominational religioris teaching in schools, or to the abolition of tests for teachers from parents of children attending public elementary schools in the parish of St. Mary's. Cardiff. Mrs. Hill Interviewed I "I am deeply annoyed," Mrs. Hill said to a. press representative last evening. "I call it a I gross interference with the liberty of tthe subject. It was my brother who paid the fine. What ds a sovereign as compar t with the principle I am fighting forp I could get twenty sovereigns if it was the money I wanted: but it is the vote I desire, and no payment of fines will prevent me agitating until I get it." Mrs. Hill Protests I I To the Editor of the Evening Express." Sir,—As a really outraged Woman, I wish it to be completely and fully understood that it was entirely unknown to me that, my fine was going to be paid to-day. It is at once, another conclusive illustration of the need of wbmen to assert themselves as being able to do their own thinking, and fit to do it on matters that concern them- selves only. I had my husband's full approval of what I did in the matter of this protest. I bad made all arrangements for imprisonment. In any caee the money is wasted, and the action, however well intendad, is altogether naaippredated amd undesirable. It shows a. total want of understanding a principle. We arc lighting for a principle, that of being ¡ reoogniscd as rational beings, gocd and use- ful citizens. We demand the votoe in order to help to bring I about much needed reforms, which we feel will never be effected except by broa.dening the ba-sis of the franchise to include women as well as men. We are prepared to go to prison in support of ur,jews, and paymg I fines will not help us in the v?ny I?a?t. Let that be well underwood.—I am, &c" Dec. 18. 3d AK i KEATING HILL. I

WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN THE I CHURCH. INTERESTING SPEECH BY A I CARDIFF LADY. In opening a bazaar at Bethel Baptist I Chapel, Bedwas, on Tuesday, Mrs. Edwards, wife of Principal Edwards, Cardiff, said that a great deal was said nowa- days about the righto of women. In the I' Church of Christ women were all upon the same level, none boing debarred from taking an active part. homen were in the apos- tolic succession of Dorcas, who was one who plied the needle, and they were certainly more in the apostolic succession than wicked pric-sts who claimed to be in the succession of Peter, but were not. She would urge the women of country villages to be active in Christian work in order that they might lift up its moral tone. I

AN UNSEEN ASSAILANT I The lafbourer, William McAuliffe, accused of a. murderous attack on an elderly woman n-,m,ed Susa-nila-b Johnson, known as the old miser." and residing alone in Baitersea, was discharged yesterday at the South- western Police-court. The woman attended the court with her head enveloped in bandages. She stated that she returned home after going ou- oil a.n errand, and, having let herself in with the latchkey, was assailed and knocked down with heavy blows on the he-id. "Did you see your aesailant?"—" No, I was attacked from behiud. "Do you know whether it wa? a man OT a "Do you know whe DetexAive Inspector Scott meiltioned tha4. the caee oould not be carried a.ny further. No one was able to identify the prisoner.

A woman complained at Marylebone that her boy (who accompanied her) wae con- j stantly ateaUng. Very well," said Mr. I Pa.ul Taylor, take him down and let the j gaoler show him the biroh and the cells." Soon afterwards the boy was heard orying piteoasly, the warning evidently having had jjg,effect.

West -Ham Scandals I MAGISTERIAL INQUIRY I Bond Makes a Protest. The magisterial investigation for the sixth day into the charges against the guardians and officials of the West Ham Union brought together a, large crowd today at the Stratford Police-court to-day. The names of the accused are:- I George Arthur Crump (guardian), Richard Phillip Karpt (guardian), Frank William Hill (guardian), John Anderson (guardian), Edward John Hodgkin, master of the workhouse; John Baird, engineer in chairge of the infirmary; Lewis Grorge Hill, formerly steward of the infirmary, Alfred Riches, formerly storekeeper of the infirmary. They are c^prged with fraudulently con- ¡ spiring with Harry Elijah Bond, formerly coal contractor to the union, to obtain large sums of money from the guardians of West Ham. Mr. Bodkin again prosecuted 00 behalf of the Treasury, and the accused were legally represented. As Anderson, and 13,ai-rd were only before •the court on Monday last, and ae Bond's evidence, which had previously been given, •affected them, that evideanoe was now read over, in order that it should be placed before ,tit.e court in their presence. Bond again WOOit into the witness-box to listem to the reading of the evidence. Before, however, the magistrates'-<?lsrk began W rps-d at, Bond, alluding to a question put by the defence cm Monday as to his parentage, said loudly, "I should like to be allowed to produce the marriage certificate of my father and mother to refute the tosiTOuatkvn made by Mr. Cowl as a protest against what I take to b? an insult to my dead parents. I hope the local press will take notoce of this." The reading of the depositions was tbenc i proceeded with.

Asleep in the Train I GOWERTON WOMAN'S STORY A peculiar case was heard at Swansea County Petty Sessions to-day, in which Chiarlee Davies, Ammanford, was charged with being drunk, assaulting two police officers, and robbing Margaret Gould, a married woman, of Gowerton, of her purse and money. Margarert Gould was also charged with being drunk. From the evidence it appeared that the man and woman were both returning from Swansea, and happened to be in the same carriage. They both got out at Pontardu- lais when the woman said she had fallen aeLeep in the train and passed her proper station. They were drunk and created a dis- turhaiLoe, and the police were called. Sabeeqtientl y t-he man assaulted the police- oonedyaibles outside the station, and he and the woman were then locked up. Nest morning the won-n alleged that sha lost her purse whilst asleep in the carriage, and declared tihat the purse produced by Davies belonged to her The woman's husband said his wife was not accustomed to take much to drink. The Bench sentenced Davies to seven day,, for drunkenness and 28 days for the assault on the police, and dismissed the charge of theft. They fined the woman 1. for being drunk.

Starters and Selections I 1 NEWBURY, Wednesday Morning. A nasty, drizzling- rain, accompanied with fog, was very much in evidence at N I owbm-y yesterday, and long before the conclusion of tAe proceedings the majority of the visitors were tfooroughiy drenched. For a winter meet-ing the atrtendianoe was a wonderfully large one, but, owing, no doubt, to the soft character of t-he going, the racing was not up to the standard of the previous meetings. The same atmospheric conditions are likely to prevail ibis aft-ernoon, and these will, no doubt,, affect the attendance, as well as the fields. The principal event is the Berkshire I Handicap Hurdle Race of 200 BOVS, in which Domino, Alyth, Mount Prospect II., and One Away a-re sure to be backed. Mount Pros- pect II. ran a good raoe with Alyth at Kemp- t.on Pa-rk, and, as be has now a pull of 101b. in the weights, it is merely a question of jook-eyship between the both now. I have a greait liking for Mr. J. B. Joel's horse, aMd he is sore to go very close, but from what I hear I believe he will meet more than his match in Mr. M'Kralay's ()NE AWAY, who is fancied by his connections. In the t Andover Handicap Steeplechase Mahftr is running ] 0 N W A R Dc instead of Cinders, a.nd this is likely to make him start favourite. He scored easily at Haydock Park from t.he useful Ravenscliffe, and ought to score to-day from David Grieve.

CONTRACTORS AND CARDIFF I RAILWAY. CLOSE OF THE, ARBITRATION I PROCEEDINGS. The ajbitra-tion proceedings between Messrs. Monk amd Newell and the Cardiff Ra-ilway Company were oontiinued on Tues- day before the arbitrator, Sir J. Wolfe Barry, K.C.B. Mr. James Glover resumed his evidence, being cross-examined by Mr. Honoratiue Lloyd, appearing for the railway company. He repeated that the work carried out at the bridges was superior to that at usual railway works. Mr. Lloyd: By whose orders? Mr. Glover: By the resident engineer's. Do you mean to salv Mr. Allan said you were to go beyond the contract?—I say he required very excellent work, and got it. Did you ever suggest extra payment ?—No. Mr. Lloyd then addressed the arbitrator. He daimed that the CONTRACTORS, knowing of the option to make open cuttings instead of TUNNELS, were bound to cairry out the work at the contract price, although it might not have been a. remunerative one. He contended that the engineer for the contractors in estimating tbeir claim had included losses on the a-greed contract, which, should not be thrown upon the company. His clients were of opinion tb&t the total charge in this respect should not exceed lg. 6d., and the extra- 3d. brought into the arbitration was not heard of until June of thia year. In regard to the bridges, it WAS often the case that bridges were not always shown upon the original plans. As to the charge that the masonry work was done too well, there was no obligation to go beyond the terms of the contract. Coming to the company's counter-claim, he desired to point out that, although application was made by the contractors for an extension of time for completion of the work, no each extension WAS refused or granted. Conse- quently, the contractors were bound to finish at the time specified in the proviso. Mr. Allan, tiie resident engineer for the railway company, aaid he never required the contractors to do other than was provided for in the contract. He might have called attention to a rather larger joint than usual, but he could not agree that the work was better than was usually the case on rail- ways. In regard to the counter-claim, the work was never stopped for want of tipping banks. Mr. Glover never spoke to him about the claim of 6d., and the first he heard of it was from the engineers. Sir Douglas Fox EA-id the emallness of the stone ufted, no doubt, added to the difficul- ties of the oontract and to the oost. As for the question of the time for the contract, he did not think with the alteration and extensions it oould have been completed in the time. If the matter had been pressed upon himself and has colleagues, as advisory engineers to the oompany, be felt etire some Extension of time would have been granted. The proceedings were closed, and the arbi- trator will consider his award.
