The Premier's Illness. HIS CONDITION WEAK, BUT UNCHANGED. The bulletins regarding the health of the Prim,- Minister are now anticipated with increasing anxiety. To-day's Bulletin The Prime Minister ha-d a quiet night, with a good deal of Bloop. His strength is much the same as yesterday. The Premier's Hope It is interesting to record (says the "Daily Telegraph") that Sir Henry Campbell-Banner- man wrote within the last ten days to Mr. Balfour, thanking him for his inquiries as to his health, and expressing the belief that he would be back in the House of Commons in his usual place in a very short time. Cabinet Meeting I A Cabinet meeting was held at the Prime Minister's official residence this morning. The Ministers attending made anxious in- quiriee regarding Sir Henry's condition, and appeared considerably relieved on being: shown the morning bulletin.

A CABINET DIFFICULTY I There is a rumour in Parliamentary circles (says the "Times") that if Mr. Aequith succeeds to the Premiership before the Budget is out of the way he will not accept the office of First Lord of the Treasury in substitution of, or in addition to, the Chan- cellorship of the Exchequer, and annex to that office the Premiership. Tho reason for this course of action is understood to arise from the difficulty as to whether if Mr. Asquith ac-cepted the First Lordship of the Treasury while retaining the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, he would not thereby vacate his seat for East Fife. The" Times" adds that the highest legal opinion is divided on the point, whereas the acceptance of the Premiership in addition to the Chancellor- ship raises no difficulty at all. ■' L-=

VALUE OF FRESH AIR At an inquest, at Poplar yesterday on a child who had died suddenly from pneu- monLa. it transpired that the parents occu- pied an exceedingly small room, and the mother, applying to the coroner, sa.id she never opened the window. The Coroner said that fresh air was very Essential, but there were other laces besides the East-end where it was not much believed In. In Switzrland, where people coul-d get the beautiful air from the Alps, at one time houses were built with windows which were not made to open, and animalp were liept in rooms underneath, the people malcing holes in the floor to get air. It was soon found that the breath of the animals induced consumption. A well-known pro- fessor visited Switzerland, and caused con- siderable commotion by smashing the win- dows. The people, however, recognised the value of fresh air after that, and now windows were made to open.

SNEEZED HIS LIFE AWAY Dick," the new Zoo gorilla, is dead. Our climate killed him. It was quite a. pathetic little message which conveyed the sad news last might to Dr. Ansorge, the well-known African explorer, who brought him away from Gaboon, when* Dick was born, and spent many happy days. Dr. Ansorge himself was last night pros- tra-ted by the climate, and the news of Dick's death was conveyed to him in bed. "Dick's" experience of civilisation has been brief and sickly. He arrived in London just over a week ago. When he got to London he commenced to sneeze, and poor Dick sneezed his life away. The doctors said it was influenza. Six gorillas have now paid ahort but fatal STB its to Regent's Park.

.Kept Putting It Off I WIDOWER AND HOUSEKEEPER Mr. J. A. Ormsby, acting under sheriff, and a jury sat yesterday at Durham to assess damages in an action for breach of promise of marriage brought by Mies Mary Coulson, of Dunstan, against George Curry, a joiner. Whickham. The action was entered in the High Court, where defendant had allowed judgment to go by default, and the only question was one of damages. Plaintiff, aged 31, said she was engaged on May 27 lao:t year as defendant's housekeeper, at 5s. a week. During the first week Curry said he meant good to her, and in the second week he asked if she objected to be married. She said she would consider it. She did consider it and told him that if his elder sons were agreeable slie would marry. He promised to marry her at Christmas, but it was put oft, and he then said it would take place after the New Year. He kept put- ting the wedding off, and she asked for a decided answer. He replied that she had no need to fret, and that things were all right. He soon began to change, and afterwards ordered her out of the house. Mr. Hymers: I believe he had made allegations against you?-Yes, sir. With reference to a man called Cheen?— Yes, sir. Is there any truth in that?-No, sir. Before she went to live with the defendant she was virtuous. Mr. Turnbull: I suppose you will have no difficulty in getting another young man; you are rather a masher, and I suppose you will have no difficulty ?—No, sir. Witness further said she knew the defen- dant lived in his own house, but she did not know it was mortgaged for £ 300, or that its cost was i360. He told her it was worth £600. Defendant gave evidence, and denied that he had ev taken advantage of the plaintiff. He had been a widower seven years, and had four children. The jury, after a brief consultation in pri- vate, awarded the plaintiff f,15 damages.

A CANDID COLONEL An extraordinary tale was related at Hen- goed Police-court to-day against Albert Price, twelve, Bargoed, and William Arthur Jones, ten, of Gilfa-ch. Lillie Clark, aged eight, of of 33, Haitbury- st-rest, Pens-am, said that on March 21 (Satur- day) Mrs. Gardener sent her to Bajgoed tV l do some shopping, and gave her a two- shilling piece and a penny. On getting to Bargoed Railway Station Price snatched some sweets from her hand, and the smaller boy (Jones) also came to look for sweets, but saw the money and took that. Both lads I then bolted. Poiice-coni'.table W. H. Williams said that the girl came up to him with a complaint, and he arrested Price and the otiher on sus- picion. Price said Jones stole the money and gave him ls. Tone-s said, "Yes, and you told me to take it." On Price Is. was found, and on Jones lojd. They bought faggots with the other Hd. Colonel Lindsay said the bench were loath I to convict, but if they were his chil/ren he would know what to do with them when they came home. Peopld nowladays did not care to punish children, but his father wa.s never afraid. (Laughter.) The boys would be let off on the parents paying 5s. each.

I REWARDED AFTER 34 YEARS Peter Andersen, a farm labourer, of White Bluffs, Washington, has inherited a fortune amounting to £ 72,500 under- moot romantic circumstances. Andersen, who was too poor to buy wall- paper, had covered the walls of his cottage with newspapers. Recently he noticed an advertisement in one of these papers asking for information of his whereabouts. He replied to tho advertisement, and on estab- lishing his identity he was informed that he was heir to the sum named. He received a dra-ft of £ 1,000 to enable him to go to New York to collect the balance. Andersen left Denmark in 1873 abeard the ship W. J. Gottry, which was wrecked off ,NewfouThdland, He was a powerful swimmer, and, seizing Pet-er Knudsen, a drowning pas- senger, kept him afloat until they were able to crawl on some wreckage, which floated them both ashore. After much privaton both reached New York, where they separated. Knudaen made an immense fortune in the glove bueinees in New Jersey, and bequeathed it to his rescuer.

'WELSH CHURCH COMMISSION I The Welsh Church Commission resumed its sittings to-day, Lord Justice Vaughan Williams presiding. Mr. Hugh Pritohard, of Llangefni, and secretary of the committe-a whaoh prepared the Nonconformist county evidence for Anglesey, was called to describe bow the schedules were dealt with. He said that on the executive committee there were ten mem- bers representing the Liberal Association. The central evidence oomimittee, of which Mr. Herbert Roberts was chairman, sent them schedules to be used in obtaining the county figures, but his committee did not use them, a.nd he. as the secretary, prepared and sent out other schedules, which were simpler. The Chairman said he would like to see the original schedules return-ed by the secre- taries of the various districts. In regard to sittings in Anglesey they must have been esti- mated rather than based on measurements, a,nd they were asking ministers to send them ineas u remenits. (Proceeding.)

CARDIFF LIFEBOAT SATURDAY I The Lord Mayor (Councillor Illtyd Thomas) presided over the annual meeting of the Oar- diff Lifeboat Saturday Fund, held in the Lord Mayor's parlour on Thursday.

NEW TERRITORIAL ARMY I A lecture was delivered at the Drill-hall of the 2nd V.B. S.W.B., New port, on Thursday the 2nd V. B S. W B by Lieutenant J. W. Lewis, of the West Kent Imperial Yeomanry, on the Norwegian Militia system. Colonel Clifford Phillips, V.D., commanding the 1st Monmouthshire Rooyal Field Artillery Volunteers, presided over a good attendance. The lecturer said that men in Norway who, through physical deficiencies, were unable to do their training were despised by the womenfolk, and mothers rejoiced to see their eons able to fit them- selves for the defence of their country. It has been decided that the Cardigan and Glamorgan Militia Artillery will undergo their annual training under canvas at High Gross, near Newport, from June 4 to tJie end of July. The Cardigan men will oooupy the camp for the first three weeks, and will be followed by the Glamorgan men. In response to Lord Glanuefs recent appeal to employers and townsmen no fewer than 22 recruits have juet enlisted at Builth Wells. There will now be no difficulty in securing the company's full strength. Members of the Carmarthen Royal Garrison Militia Artillery have been summoned to assemble for twenty days' training at the Carmarthen Barracks on May 11. Recruits enlisted this year will proceed to Newport Barracks.

I "Easy & Self-Possessed" I MAGUIRE AGAIN IN THE DOCK For the fifth time, John Francis Maguire, the young ex-Life Guardsman, who is charged with the murder of Emily Sherriff, the victim of the Southbourne Cliff tragedy, to-day appeared before the magistrates at Bournemouth. As on former occasions, the accused was brought from Winchester Gaol in the charge of a couple of warders. A crowd had assembled outside the court, but they had litt-Ie opportunity of seeing Maguire, who, in a closed four-wheeler, was driven into the station yard. The court was filled, and very great inte- rest was manifested in the proceedings. The accused maintained his accustomed easy and self-possessed demeanour. He was escorted to the dock in the custody of his gaolers, and, seating- himEelf on a chair which was handed to him, listened to the statements of counsel and the evidence with much coolness. The Mayor of Bournemouth presided over a full bonc-h of magistrates. Mr. William Letwis appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Treasury, and the accused was defended by Mr. Alabaster, barrister. Mr. Lewis, in opening the case for the prosecution, related in detail the circum- stances of the d-estli of Miss Sherriff and the supposed movements of the accused m rues- day, the 18th of February, on the evening of which day the lady was alleged to have been murdered. The medical evidence CMr. Lewis said) conclusively showed that the death of the deceased w-as DUE TO VIOLENCE, which could not have been self-inflicted. "With regard to Miss Sherriff, there is not," he eonÜnued. "the slightest doubt that she bore the most, irreproachable character. I think you will find when you iiave heard relationship which existed betweeui accused and the girl that they were as brother and sister to each other from the first to the last. Mr. Lewis then explained that after the accused bad been arrested a letter was found at M'Guire's residence in Itoiibigii- street, London, dated January 29. 19C8, from Miss Sherriff, in which the lady offered him an invitation to Bournemouth. She sta.ted: You cannot know how welcome you will be. my dear sonny. I shall be pleased to ses you. I shall be glad to welcome my dear old boy. God bless you.—From your loviai'g sister, Emmie. (Proceeding.)

Bankrupt Builder ACCUSES SOLICITOR OF FORGERY I Mr. W. Hoskings, builder, Swansea, was examined at Swansea Bankruptcy-court to- day. He attributed hie failure to "misplaced ■confidence and fraud on the par-t of my former solicitor, Mr. J. R. Richards." IDj, gross liahilitit's were set down a-t £ 22,190, of which 14,748 is exp-ectoo. to rank for dividend, and the deficiency was placed at £ 4,225. The debtor said he was a speculative builder, an-a he built a number of villas for sale, a.nd had leased land for that purpose, and almost from the first Mr. J. R. Richards had procured him advances of money on these properties. The whole business was managed by Mr. Richards, the rents were collected by him and the interest paid by him. Questioned as to what caused him to have such confidence in, Mr. Richards, he said they were boys together in school, and he implicitly trusted him. He had ke]»t no ledger showing his transactions with Mr. Richard. lie had no idea. how many mort- gages he had signed from time to time. }j.s n:ow knew that- t-hoere were other mortgages on certain of the properties besides UtÐ original ones he signed. He did not find cut a.bout these until after Mr. Richards had quitted Swansea. Most of these deeds were witnessed, by clerks in Mr. Richards'e ofnee. He had been to London' and to Cheltenham with Mr. Richards. In London he was asked to sign some papers. He did not read them, but thought, they were imsuranoe papers. He found out afterwards that it was for loans. He was inUhe habit of signing anything that Mr. Richards put before him. He charged Mr. Richards with forgery. He li-a-d inspected the signatures on some of the deeds, and he declared they were not his, and that he kne-v nothing of the loans to which theoea deeds referred. The examination was adjourned tO a, special day to be fixed.

BRITON FERRY TRAMWAY DISPUTE In the Chancery Division to-day (before Mr. Justice Warrington), Mr. Henry Terrell, K.C., said, in the action of Mowchel v. the Briton Ferry Works (Limited), he had two motions on behalf of the plaintiff. The first was a motion to continue an interim injunction granted by Mr. Justice Eve to restrain the defendants from interfering with a certain tramway in Glamorgan. Mr. Cave, K.C., for the defendants, said he had filed some evidence in answer to the motion for injunction, but he should like to supplement it if the motion was to go on; but as the matter stood he did not think his lordship would dispose of it on a motion, for inj unction, and he ougg-eeted that the case should go to trial. Mr. Justice Warrington: Will you give an undertaking? Mr. Oa.ve siadd so far as any interference with the tramway went it was practically over. Mr. Terrell said he couid not consent to the proposal without the undertaking. Mr. Cave said all that remained to he done was to fill up the spaces between the lines in order that plaintiff should have the use of hda sidings. Mr. Terrell said there was not much reaJ conflict between the parties, the defendants having written after the injunction that they were surprised to find plaintiif had these I rights, iuid they were not prepared to deny his claim. Mr. Terjrell said that if the Great Western Railway Company wanted anything to be done let them comm-unicate wit.h the plaintiff, and he would do whatever they desired to be ne to make the tramway sa.fe. I Mr. Justice Warrington thought this a I reasonable offer, and on that understanding I the case stood for a week, plaintiff consent- ing not to prevent defendants from using I their portion of the tramway during1 that I time.

CHECKWEIGHER'S DOG I Pathos and Comedy at. Hengoed Pathos and comedy intermingled at the dog licence proceedings of Hengoed Police- court to-day. When the case of William Jenkins, a eheck- weigher, of Bargoed, was called, Police- sargeaut Nicholls advance extenuating cir- cumstances. He is an old 'man, your wor- ships, who is unable to work, and last year the iiiihabitamts subscribed for the licence," said he. The Clerk: Is he obliged to have the dog? Police-sergeant Nioholls: Well, he has had a dog for many years, and he doesn't like to/part with it now. Colonel Lindsay: Well, the next time, sergeant, the public of Bargoed had better get their subs crip tiolns in a little earlier. (Laughter.) He is cautioned. Ca-muel Lewis, 28, a clerk, of Bargoed, put forward a curious a.rgument. The people I bought the dog of had it in January and February," said he, "and I bad it only five days and got summoned." (Laughter.) He saved 5s. by hie plea, for he only had to pay 2s. 6d. Johin Morris, 22, labourer, Bargoed, enlightened the I)ezich. "rllie rule in North Wales," said he. is that they ooine round in April for the licence." Half-a-erown was the penalty. Mrs. George Monks, wife of a Bargoed col- liery rider, was all smiles. I gave the dog away." aaid she, but it came back. (Laughter.) Of course (she added, confidingly), I have got a licence now." (Loud laughter.) The Clerk: And you have the dog as well? —Oh, yes. (Laughter.) Colonel Lindsay: Pay 7s. 6d. MTS. Frederick Matthews, wife of a Bar- goed repairer. was highly i¡ndigdnt. "Willy," she exclaimed, "the dog was only six months and oight days old! I have get the stud- book here for you to see." The Clerk: You have the birth certificate, have you? (Laughter.) Mrs. Matthews: I only finished paying for the dog on the Monday, She was cautioned.

Sea Tale of a Meteor I HOW A SHIP WAS NEARLY SUNK, I There is a weird suggestion of the "Ancient I Mariner" in a wonderful story about a steamer's narrow escape from being wrecked by a meteor that has just reached Plymouth. According to Captain iienkert, the Dutch steamship Ocean, which has arrived at Phila- delphia, barely escaped destruction by a meteor weighing many tens. The vessel was almost enveloped by huge waves, following the impact of the aerolite with the sea. Many of the crew became ill from the effects of gas, which Captain Benkert declares would have asphyxiated them had they not sought shelter below decks. The gas remained in the atmosphere for more than fifteen minutes. When Captain Benkert and his men ven- tured on deck they found it covered with a peculiar brownish powder which fell from the sky Then followed, according to Captain Ben- kert, a shower of blazing meteors, which began to fall about t,he vessel, the phenome- non lasting several minutes. The süa, about the vessel became phosphorescent, and as far as eye could see the men aboard the Ocean say dazzling objects of every colour danced about on tne surface of the water. This remarkable sight, according to the log of the Ocean, was witnessed at three o'clock in the morning of March 4, while the steamer was in latitude 39.59 north and longitude 71.27 west.

King at Biarritz BATTLE OF FLOWERS SEEN FROM HOTEL WINDOWS King E-dward has a slight cold. and did not his apartments at Biarritz on l iiursday, out witnessed the ba-ttle of iiowers from the windows of the hotel. The spec- tacle was extremely gay and animated. In the evening his Majesty gave a dinner party. After dinner the King and his guests witnessed from the hotel windows the torch light tatoo, in which several military bands took part.—Renter. The Prince and Princess at Cologne The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived at the Muelheimer Heide, Cologne, at eleven o'clock on Thursday, being enthusiastically ch-eared by the public. The Prince then rode to the front of the parade ground, on which his regiment, tne 8th Cuirassiers, was drawn up, the Princess following in an open carriage. His Royal Highness greeted the regiment with Good morning!" whereupon the men answered, Good morning, your Royal High- ness!" On returning to their hotel the Prince and Princess watched the march past of the regi- ment from the balcoi-,y.-Peiiter. Kaiser in Venice I Shortly before ten o'clock on Thursday morning, King "Victor Emmanuel, accom- panied by Signor Tittoni, Minister for Foreign Affairs, proceeded on board the German Imperial yacht Hohenzollern at Venice. St. Mark's Harbour on Wednesday evening presented a wonderful fairy spectacle. All the warships were superbly illuminated with electric lamps, and a large number of gon- dolas with Venetian lanterns. In various parts of the town Bengal lights j were burned-I Enormous crowds paraded the streets. At eight o'clock a dinner was given on board the German Royal yacht Hohenzollern. King Victor Emmanuel, both in going to and returning from the yacht, was cheered by the crowds, and was saluted by the guns of the German and Italian ships.-Reuter.

Glamorgan Assizes. Glamorgan Assize^ were resumed this morning in the Law Courts, Cardiff, Mr. Lloyd Morgan, K.C., M.P.. sitting as Com- missioner in the Crown Court at 10.50. Charge Breaks Down I George Johnson (58), fireman, Thomas Car- penter (28), labourer, and Daniel Sullivan (28), labourer, were charged with stealing sixteen bottles of spirits, 181bs. of tobacco, and 50 cigars, of the value of E3, the property of Emil Walleniums,- on the 23rd of February, at Swansea. Mr. Lleufer Thomas (instructed by Mr. Lawrence Richards, Swansea,) prose- cuted, and the prisoners were undefended. The steamship Fema was lying in the North Dock at Swansea at the period men- tioned, and on the Saturday afternoon the officer of Customs had sealed up quantities of spirits and tobacco in the locker of the vessel. During the night it was found that the locker had been broken into, and a quantity of spirits and tobacco stolen. The police visited a lodging in the Strand, where the three prisoners were found. There was a strong smell of whisky In trse room, A ioi or r wok en cot-ties were found in the place fcirniku- to those which were in bond in the ship's stores, and lnlb. of tobacco of a like d-escrition to that which was missed from the Fenia were found hidden under the flooring. The prisoners denied having committed the theft, and the jury found them not guilty, and they were discharged. I" I Am Satisfied" A peculiar story of alleged theft was told v. ben George Wright (65), labourer, was placed in the dock charged with stealing £2 12.s. id. belonging to John Thomas Whaatou, on April 1, 1906, at Cardiff. Mr. T. F. Howell (m-tructcd. by Messrs. George Da.vid and Evans) prosecuted, and prisoner was unde- fended. The prosecutor brought, home h.iE \V:u::c.; on the 31st cf March, and kept the money in his possession;. Next day he was removed to the workhouse as a pauper lunatic. Tho pri- soner was an inmate of the workhouse, and was acting as a watchman. When Wheaton was brought in he was given, a bath by all attendant, and during his absence it was alleged that the p,rison-er had every oppor- tunity of going through the prosecutor's pockets. When prisoner 'eft tho workhouse he showed to one of the officials a sum. of ni.,oney-on-o sovereign, two half-sovereigns, and two shillings, and a. purse-the latter of which was said to be the sasne as that belong- ing to Wheaton. Late-r on. in consequence of inquiries made by Mrs. Wheaton., an inquiry was held at the workhouse, and some-time afterwards the prisoner returned and asked to see one of the officials, but did not wait, and ran away. Eventually he was arrested in January of this year, when he said, "I am satisfied."

SCOTCH LAND BILL I The discussion of the Land Values (Scot- land) Bill was resumed in the House of Lords on Thursday, when the Earl of Mar and Kellie and the Earl of Cranbrook advo- cated its rejection. The Marquess of LANS- ¡ DOVVNE, however, argued that they could not get to close quarters with the Bill unless it reached the Committee stage, and they wanted to find out what was the ulterior stage of which it-seeiningly a mere measure for securing harmlee-s statistics—was the forerunner. The Bill, he also pointed out., penalised the man who did not coveE his land with bricks and mortar, but he was informed that last autumn there were 13,000 empty houses in Scotland. The Opposition were very far from satisfied in regard to this measure, but they were glad to give the Government all opportunity of convincing I them in Committee. The Barl of WEMYSS said the principle of the Bill was what must be examined. In I this case it was revolutionary, and simply appealed to the predatory instincts of primi- tive man. (Laughter.) Viscount RIDLEY, with reluctance, -with- drew the amendment of rejection, and the Bill was read a second time. The House then went into Committee on the Sunday Closing (Shops) Bill, which was passed through Committee.

ASSAULT WITH A HATCHET I John Avery, an elderly man, was taken from Brixton Prison to the London Guild- hall yesterday in connection with tbf, City hatchet assault case. It was alleged that Av-ery struck Mr. Herbert Oxley, a manufac- turer, two blows oil the head with a hatchet, rendering him unconscious. Avery was remanded at a previous hearing for his m-emital condition to be inquired intp, and it was stated yesterday that the prison doctor had oei-tifild as to his insanity. Mr. Harry Myers, for Mr. Oxley, applied to have the case proceeded with, but the pre- siding alderman said the man was not in a fit condition to answer any further charge. He thought the case would best be met by his adjourning it for three months, with liberty for the prosecution to apply to make the case an indictable offence. Avery would now be discharged. Avery then left the dock, but on emerging into the courtyard was re-arrested as a wan- dering lunatic.

The annual musical festival of the English Baiptist Churches of Merthyr and district, extending from Dowlais to Treharrie. was held on Thursday a.t High-street Chapel, Merthyr.

Mr. Dait Davies, sang the various antthems and hymns in a. manner that evoked unqualified praise. -0-

I Scenes at Workhouse I I OFFICIAL STRUCK BY INMATE I Thomas Harris (32) was described to the Cardiff Stipendiary magistrate to-day as a (native of Manchester. Harris displayed con- siderate gifts of oratery, end he criticised the methods in operatiüu at Cardiff Work- house, and the conduct of officialdom with all the freedom of a, guardian. The loqua-cious Thomas smilingly answered the charge, "For that he on the 26th day of March, 1908, whilst an inmate of tho casual ward of the Cardiff union Workhouse did assault one William H. Perry, superintendent of the casual ward of the said union workhouse." Perry ita-ted that prisoner had put in two suits of clothes, and wher- ordered to divest himself ofcrne of the suits he became enraged, and was also abusive and threatening. Upon witaess going the cell to get the second btiit of c'othes, prisoner attempted to strike him. Witness pushed him away. Harris stumbled bs.ckwa.rds on to the bed, pulling witness ok top of him, and, lifting his foot as be fell, he kicked witness on the forehead. Prisoner was a relentless eross-examiner. He put questions as follows: — Yon took your coat off and challenged me to fight r—I never had my coat- off. Hadn't you been drinking?—No. Why do you leave me by myself?—You had been quarrelsome all day. Why did ypu wife say "Take no notice of him"?—You kiiow what she eaid as well as I do. Why did she say it?—She never said no such thing. Why did you shove me?—You attempted to strike me first. You took me into the room and shoved me on the bed and fell against, my boot?—You deliberately kicked me. Mr. Xng'K.dew (master of the workhouse) sa-id that two Tiien said they saw accused kick the euperintenrlent. His Worship asked if the superintendent was quite sober. Witness answered that he had no reason to suspect ot tier wise, t.nougii trie man might shave been :t bit excited. Did the prisoner suggest that Perry was d.rtiv ii c mentioned It to me. Did prisoner coanplaan that the superin- tendent struck him in the jaw?—Yes, he sa-id he had pushed him. I Prisoner: Tho first thing I said was that he was drunk. What did you Bay?-I don't recollect giving any answer. Didn't you say "I think he has bad a j little"?—No. Didn't I tell you about his shoving me and taking the clothes from me?—You said some- thing about the two suite. Mr. Ingledew, in answer to the Stipendiary, said he had no reason to suspect the superin- tendent of being drunk, and if there bad been any indications he certainly would have noticed them.

KAISER AND AMBASSADOR In face of tho entirely contradictory versions current in official circles in Wash- ington and Berlin regarding Mr. Hill's nomi- nation to the United States Embassy at Berlin, it is difficult to sift the true facts of the case, but a report which is circulating in well-informed circles with considerable persistency is to the effect that the Emperor sent something in the nature of a private and personal message to Prcsidant Roose- velt, informing: the President of his convic- tion tha.t Mr. Hill would not adequately represent the United States in Berlin. AV-aile the grounds for the view thus attri- buted to the Emperor are publicly known, it is surmised that some incident may have occurred on the occasion of Prince Henry of Prussia'^ visit to the United States, when Mr. Hill, as Assistant Secretary of State, oame into frequent touch with the Prince and hie suite. In diplomatic circles it is believed that there has beern indiscretion somewhere, and that the affair has been clumsily managed. It is certain that Mr. Hill's name was not mentioned to the Gorman Government until inquiries were made through Baron Speck von Sternburg, German Ambassador to the United States, as to whether Mr. Hill would be acceptable as a successor to Mr. Towers in Berlin. For t!he time being Berlin news- papers content themselvee with flatly deny- ing Washington telegrams alleging that the Emperor objected to Mr. Hill's appointment. -,Reuter.

ARGUMENTATIVE JUROR Mr. J. B. Walford. district coroner, held an inquest at Tredegar on Thursday on the body of Dennis Cotter, a la Dourer, who fell down a flight of stairs at a lodging-house on the 24th inst. Several witnesses stated that the man was under the influence of drink at the time.—The Coroner said that, in face of that evidence, the only verdict the jury could return would be one of misadventure. Homo of the jurymen hesitated about accepting the coroner's suggestion, and the coroner put the matter to the vote, a majority voting in favour of that verdict. One juryman, however, declared in favour of a verdict of "Accidental death." The Coroner: Don't put that man on the jury again. Do you remember your oath, eir ? The Juryman: Yes, sir. The Coroner: Then how can you give such a verdict? The Juryman: That is my opinion. The Coroner: If the man wae under the influence of drink, was he sober? The Juryman: He was not drunk. The Coroner: I never heard such a thing in my life. You are not fit to sit on a jury, and I disallow your expenses, as you have not given your verdict in accordance with I your oath. You can go, sir. The verdict recorded was" Death from misadventure."

FROM ALL QUARTERS The Veterans' Relief Fund has reajdhed £24,Z60. The condition of Sir John Da.y, the ex-judge, is reported to be serious. Prince Edward of Wales is on the high road to recovery. Mr. Thomas Gorst, brother of Sir John Gorst, died yesterday at Fareham. A Bill to abolish the sale of pews in parish churches in Jersey was read a first time yes- terday in the States. The Hon. Thomas Price, the Prime Minister of South Australia, will occupy the pulpit at the afternoon service at Whitefield's Ta.ber- nacle on Sunday. Packing-ton Hall, Coventry, the residence of Earl Aylesford, was last night the scene of the second fire during the present month. Little damage was done. In aflQftwer to a petition asking the autho- rities to license wo.men as chauffeurs, the Mayor of Chicago declared that no woman was physically fit to drive a motor-car. A woma-n horse-thief, who .bad dressed in a man's clothes, was detected at Midland Junction, West Australia, because she got off on the wrong side of the animal, and also loosetue-d the wron-g side of the girth.

Fatal Disobedience RIDER'S DEATH AT A NEW TREDEGAR COLLIERY ) Mr. J. B. Walford, district coroner, held an inquiry on Thursday at New Tredegar j irto the circumstances attending the death of Alfred Price (20;, of Fothergills-road, who J wa* IU.\ over by a journey of trams at West Elliot Colliery on Tuesday.—The evidence I showed that the deceased jumped on the shackle between the first and second tram. The back of hie head had bw knocked in, and his leg practically sfevered. 'ity-vso iXv.ies, under-manager, etated that ou the Saturday previous to the acci- dent he had cautioned deceased for riding between the trMDe. Mr. Walford stated that he bad the autho- rity of Mr. Wilcox, the manager, in saying that whatever the verdict was it would not affect the compensation. He thought a ver- dict of misadventure would be the correct one, as the young man had disobeyed the orders given to him. Mr. E. Thomas, miners' agent, representing the said there was no question of the employers paying compensation, aci the present Act demanded it. The Coroner said that was one of the most foolish and illogical things passed by Parlia- ment. It was silly to think that if a man was only slightly injured through wilful misconduct be was fined, whereas if it proved fatal eora.pensation was obtained. A verdict of "Death from misadventure" was retued, with a rider that written, I notices should be given to the riders in Eng- lish and Welsh of their rules. Mr. Robinson, deputy inspector of mines, represented the Home Office; Mr. Fred Wil- oox, the Powell-Duffryn Company, and Mr. E. Thomas. Bargoed, the Federation.

As anticipated, the result was a win for England after a well-contested ma-tch. The attendance was disappointing owi^s to the mid-Lent festivities. The weather was dull and overcast.

 'Put Me Amon g the G i rls' | MERTHYR TEAM IN YORKSHIRE I Impressionable Youth and the Mill Hands The Merthyr Northern Union men on their northern tour this week preferred to make Bradford their stopping place, and have been in strict training since Tuesday at Green- field Ground, Bradford. To interest the players while in Worsted- opolis what could be better than a visit to one of the huge woollen factories. This was accordingly arranged for yesterday after- noon and the whole team were courteously shown over one of the representative mill- tha.1, of Messrs. Mitchell Bros., of Manchester- road. The writer accompanied his fellow-country- men throughout the visit, and it is a curious fact that the Welsh football players came independently to tho same conclusion as did Lord Brav^sey, the great naval expert, on the occasion, of a similar visit to a Bradford mill on Friday last. The veteran ex-Lord of the Admiralty then publicly stated that next to the huge industry in wool which he had seen, he was interested in the classic beauty of II the Bradford mill b'ir16 ¡ That evidently was the reason wh ytwo or three of the Merthyr men "lingered longer" in the weaving and spinning slieds on Thurs- day, and one of them emerged from the mill audibly humming, "Put 11 e Among the Girls. Another was a goo ddeal more practical, fc,- he made appointments with a dozen or fifteen damsels for the same evening, "at the same hour and place," as the phrase runs. We have been told that the net j-esult was a rcttarkable proceos-ion of Yorkshire mill girls, with one man, bearing no resemblance whatever to a YorK^hireman, to the front of the pit-stalls in the local Empire. We give bik- information "with all reserve," our foreign correspondents say, the M-erthyr man is said to have many lady friends at home! -00pyright.

ENGLISH CUP SEMI-FINALS By Soccerite Barely has so nruoli interest been taken in the cup-cies os this sec.sori, and to-morrow's res'iil'ts are pI"û.blem.a.t:i-ca.1. The Newcastle Uri.u.'d and EiiJha-m at Liverpool pnxt-uce a great gate, if net a, grk,at, yarne. Fiuiham, alitor the: sensational defeat of Manchester United, are favourites for the cup, and they htavo a splendid chance of hcat:'b:<g Newcastle. True their beating by Stockport last put them out of the naming for proraction to the first urvision, but cup-tie fightin>g is a game by iteeif, and I look to F-Lilb-aul an odd goal to-morrow. If they do this, then it will fee J'luiùh>a:m fcr the cup." There will be an immense orowd on Chelsea's ground at Stamford Bridge to witness the S:ou their pton-WolvcirhamptoM maJtch. Old cup-tie winners, the Wolves have all along been an outside tip for the cup, and if they pait any dash a.t all into the game they jvill beat the Saints. The latter are not a-t all dismayed at their pros- pects—-indeed, they fully expect to win. With Ijoek in goal, and the same combdnation that has characterised their play all the season, I expect the "Wolves'- will be beaten and the faints left to meet Fulham iin the final.

I The retarn gu,.me between the" police" of Newport and Swansea took place -at Newport on Thursday. The previous game at Swan- bca enrled in a dra w. The Newport policemen did most of the attacking in the first half, but they lacked "Sei-g-eant Lightning" in th-o back division, being too slow to penetrate the defence. Swansea attacked by short rushes, and Wetter afterwards nearly kicked a penalty gpa.1 for Newport. J us t before the interval Police-constable Phillips, the New- port centre, retired injured.

After somo ineffective play, PriteLax(t whilst saving a dangerous attack by the Aberda-re forwards, received a temporary- injury. Clever head and foot work ena-bled the 'Dariane to gain ground, and, getting well into a favourable position, T. D. Jones scored a good goal. Aiter a nice bit of cross- kicking by Connors and Hawkins, Groves, within a minute of the last goal, equalised. Aberdare from the kick-out went down with a forward rush, and after a bit of smart bock play Pettic.an received, and scored the second poal for the 'liarians. Joe Ie-wis received a temporary injury, and Pritohard had to be taJcen off the field. Half-time arrived with- out further score. Soon after t,he re-start a penalty kick was a warded Treharris, and Pickett, talcing the kick, equalised. From a third penalty kick Groves scored t.he deciding goal. Final score: Goals.

A few minutes before the interval Francis, one of the Llamdudno players, was ordered off the field. Shortly after half-time Bangor scored tho first, goal, and a few minutes later a fight commenced amongst the players on the Llandudno left wing. This drew the entire crowd over to that part of the field. Police-sergeants Edward Willi a-inf;.an d Jomes were successful in stopping the row, and then both Johnny Roberts, of Llandudno, and Kerry Williams, of Bangor, were ordered off. After about ten minutes' delay the game was rc-started, Bangor winning by one goal to nil. CARDIFF SCHOOLS LEAGUE. STACEY-ROAD BECOME CHAMPIONS.

SCOTCH EDUCATION BILL In the House of Commons on Thursday Mr SINCLAIR moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to educa- tion in Scotland. The right hon. gentleman explained that the object of the measure-waa not to re-cast the system of education, in Scotland, but to supplement and strengthen it. It made more adequate provision for secondary education by the establishment of an Education (Scotland) Fund, iuto which would be paid all the looal taxation moneys now intercepted and applied to the purposes of education for Scotland. He estimated that this fund would annually amount to something like £ 350,000. After meeting prime charges of a national character, in the shape of grants to universities and central iEBtitutions, the remainder would be distri- buted to the secondary education authori- ties 011 the basis of population, quali- fied by the cost of education and assessable rentals in each district. These authorities would meet general chargies of a, local character, and the balance wonld be distri- buted to the school boards and the managers ot me voluntary ranmjib on tne same basis. The Bill also empowered school boards to make further provision for continuation classes, and to pass bye-la-ws requiring the attendance of children under the age of seventeen. Responsibility for the feeding of the children was placed in the first place upon the parents, and if they were in default, the duty of making provision was laid, not upon the parish council, as in last year's Bill, but upon the school board, (Cheers.) The school board franchise was assimilated with the Parliamentary fran- chise. No opposition was offered to the Bill, and it was bronght in and read a, hrsl time.

SWANSEA DOCK STRIKE The strike of platelayers under the Swan.l sea. Harbour Trust continued on Thureday, wh?n Mr. Ha.rry WiHi?ms. addressing the strikers, said he should stick • by them till their grievances were. rectified, and the strike was likely to develop at Swansea. Docks if necessary. These men had been tyrannised over by a particular foreman. With regard toO the suggestion in the Western Mail that the men should be provided with tlmbrellas, and that of the foremen that they should have oilskins, he said the pay of the Swansea Harbour Trust did not allow of such luxuries A resolution was carried by the men stating that they believed they were in the right, pla.ciflg themselves in the hands of the society, and adding th.a.t they were pre- pa.red to stand by anything t11a.t. was done. Mr. La.w, writing to Mr. Williams, describee the whole occurrence, and adds: — As you are aware, when the agreement between us wae being negotiated it was expressly mentioned that if the weather was too bad for the men to work they were to go home, and be paid for the time actually worked, although the men were not told fio go home. and I feel sure you will not justify the action of the men forming Tom Long's gang, who left under the circumstances described." MT. H. Williams in a long letter in reply says: It certainly was too wet for three gangs, knd if it was too wet for them. I feed quite sure that it was too wet for the fourth ?a.up. If that ie the way your Mr. M Kinnelt is going to do business, I thdnk it. is time to put a stop to it. It is the action of men who, having been tyrannised for so long a time, will put up with it no longer." i
