According to the Milan correspondent of the Paris "Eclair," they weretArayling in an expj>ee« train to Verona, and when near Peachiera. a missile of some sort struck the window of the compartment occupied by the duke and ducheee. The window was broken, but, fortunately, neither the duke nor the duchess was injured. His Royal Highness lodged a complaint with the railway officials, and a strict inquiry will be made.

GUARDING THE GAS METER Henry Boyce, of Woodford, was summoned &t Stratford yesterday by the West Ham Gas Company for unlawfully connecting a gas Pipe with a meter without giving notice to th-fe company in writing. It was stated for the company that the defendant, having failed to pay hie gas bill, the gas pipe was disconnected. On March 27 the defendant, in a letter to the company intimating that he ha.d re-oonnected the gas Pipe, said:—"I have instructed my dog-an Irish terrier—promptly to sample the .legs of any officials who may enter my house for the purpose of ma-king any examination of ray meter." A flue of ios. and 4s. caste was imposed.

BEER AT THE BARBER'S I Thomas Henry Scott, hairdresser, of tons tone, was summoned at Stratford on Saturday by the Inland Revenue for selling r by retail, without having a lioense, on Sunday mornings. The evidence was to the effect that an Inland Revenue officer went to the shop on the morning of February 2, when men were being shaved, and after seeing some of them deceiving beer, he said, "I suppose I am 411 right for a drink if I have a shave?" Scott replied, "Oh, yes, it is there for customers." An assistant then drew some beer from a ask and handed it round. Mr. \V. H. Jones, for the defence, pointed out that there was no evidence of money having passed. Ultimately the Bench adjourned the case to hear evidence for the defence before deciding the legal point.

SAFETY OF OPERA JEWELS Although jewels to the value of hundreds of thousands of pounds, including priceless heirlooms and world-famed stones, are worn at the opera every night during the season, so elaborate are the precautions taken by the police that jewel, robberies at Covent Garden are practically unknown. While the carriages and motor-cars are setting down their occupants, the would-be thief has no possible chance of bringing off a. coup. Experienced uniformed officers are stationed on either side of the principal entrance, and other officers at the entrance and exit of the carriage-way. Inside, in the vestibule, in the vicinity of the cloak rooms, and in the corridors detective officers, attired in immacluate evening-dress, keep Unobtrusive but unceasing watch.

CHARITY THAT DOES HARM Mr. White-law Beid, the American Ambas- sador, presiding on Saturday at the anniver- fsary dinner in London of the Homes for Little Boye at Farji.im,gham and Swanley, Kent, congratulated those present on having found a charity which did good, and only good. There existed, however, a great field of cen- tixnenta.1 and well-intended, but not always Well-directed, organised charities. These were sometimes capable of doing harm to the Recipient, and of encouraging a general sense of irresponsibility on the part of people who B°tight assistance. Every misdirected shilling given in charity was not merely wasted, but 1t did positive harm.

Trouble on Barry Line I COMPLAINT BY ENGINEMEN I The Barry railwaymen to-day will confer with Mr. J. H. Thomas, the local representa- tive of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, in reference to further grievances stated to have arisen in the locomotive department. The men allege that they had each been interviewed by the locomotive superintendent (Mr. Gokiing) and asked if they had any complaints to make against the company. The workmen contend this action to be tantamount to intimidation. Cardiff Railwaymen's Grievance At a meeting- of members of the Cardiff No. 4 Branch of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, representing all grades employed under the Cardiff Railway Com- pa.ny, the following resolution was passed: That this me-eting of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, Cardiff No. 4 Branch, disapproves of the action of the Cardiff Railway Company in sending a man around inquiring of t,be. mon as to who were in the society and who were not, with a. view to finding out the number of men outside the society, evidently with the object of getting non-Unionists lwrninal-ed to the conciliation boards, their scheme for which the company is ultimatel-y going to I put forward.

Dundee Election MR. CHURCHILL HECKLED I The parties engaged in fighting the Dundee election, are favourable to the selection of Saturday next as the polling day, and should the writ arrive on Tuesday the sheriff will be asked to fix that date. The Unionist, Liberal, and Labour candi- dates were all active on Saturday, and the Prohibitionist remains before the electorate. Taking a.I! tilings into consideration, there is very little to choose between conditions obtaining in Dundee and those that pre- vailed in Manchester. The people of Dundee take a keen interest in politics, and listen respectfully to speeches on a.ny subject, but they show their native wit and intelligence when the opportunity comes for heckling, which t.hey have brought to a. fine art. It has become pretty evident that the Labour candidate, Mr. Stuart, espouses the cause of Socialism, and has a fairly exten- sive following among the industrial popula- tion. When. Mr. Churchill was delivering his first public speech in t,he Drill-hall there were bands of young men giving away copies of the special May Day issue of the "Labour Leader," which contains an article by Mr. Kedr Hardie severely criticising Mr. Churchill and calling on Dundee to elect Mr. Stuart. At this meeting there was a sigrnificajit absence from the platform of men officially identified with trade societies, who used formerly to support the Liberal candi- date, but are now found on the side of Labour when there is a Labour candidate in the field. The proceedings in Dundee were very lively on Saturday. Sir George Baxter, the Conservative candidate, did not address any meetings, but his supporters were actively canvassing. Mr. Stuart, the Labour nominee, spoke at several open-air meetings, and was supported by many friends, whilst the Pro- hibition doctrine was expounded at various places by Mr. Scrymgeour. The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Churchill), speaking on Saturday night in Dundee, said he could not tell when the next general election would be, but he thought it might not come for two years. Still, the unexpected might happen. He spoke hopefally of the settlement of Irish difficulties. Asked at a meeting: whether he would give Home Rule to Scotland, Mr. Churchill replied that he would not deny to that country any liberty extended to Ireland. Questioned as to whether he had received a telegram from the Prime Minister objecting to the Govern- ment being pledged on Home Rule, Mr. Ohurchill asked what right anyone had to inquire about his private correspondence. There was absolutely no disagreement between the Prime Minister and himself on any statement he had made. What he had said he had said as an exposition of Mr. Asquith's policy. I UNIONIST HOPES HIGH. Sir George Baxter, the Unionist candidate, considers the progress of bis campaign so far highly satisfactory. Sir George is one of the' best-known men in Dundee. He employs 4,000 hands at his jute and linen factories, and is immensely popular with his workpeople. Mr. Churchill at his meeting on Saturday night showed unmistakably that he had not yet recovered from the shock of his Man chests r defeat. He did not essay any oratorical fire- works, but endeavoured to be dignified and statesmanlike. He succeeded only in being dull and prosy. In answer to various temperance deputa- tions which waited upon him, Mr. Ohurchill was faced with some difficult problems. "Will you," he was asked, "suptwrt tbe Liquor Traffic, Local Option (Scotland), Bill?" He replied that he had not studied this measure, but would do so and give them an answer. Asked if he were in favour of com- ,,e in fav-oiir of c?iii- pensation to licence-holders, he said he was entirely opposed to compensation out of public funds. He added that he was m favour of as short a time-limit as possible. He also declared he was entirely opposed to the municapolisat'on of the liquor traffic. Mr. Stuart's Igient talks hopefully of secur- ing no fewer than 6,000 of the total number of "vote6 to be recorded on the fateful day. MORE QUESTIONS IN THE HOUSE. Several questions appear in the notice- paper of the House of Commons for this week rel?e to Mr. Winston Charchin-. speeches at Manchester.

CONVINCED SUPPORTER OF FREE IMPORTS. Sir John Brunner. addressing a crowded gathering of the Northwich Division Liberal Association on Saturday, replied to misre- presentations of his Reform Club speech. There had never been, he said, a shadow of turning in his fidelity to Free Trade. The policy of leaving trade alone was a grea.t hindrance to the public good. Every other country used the national force, funds, and credit to help trade. Therefore, he advo- cated a constructive Liberal trade policy as an antidote to the Protection poison. (Oheer.¡ Unlike Protection, Sir John continued, nia policy would not take money out of any pockets, but would bring general prosperity. When bad trade came and profits dwindled it was a temptation to advocate import duties. By a liberal construction policy such as the nationalisation of -ailways and canals and minerals, t,be whole country would be benefited far beyond any Protec- tion system. He counselled the Government to borrow money freely for national works and imitate the wholesome example of every other civilised country. This was a patriot's policy.

SIR JOHN'S BOMBSHELL. The Spectator," the uncompromising „r„ of Fifo Trade, says it is filled with d?may by the attitude of the Liberal party toward. Free Trade ? ?dic?i 'll the so?ec? of ?r John Brunner. Astoamding aTit sounds," aaam our cont?m?ra.ry. he considered it a.ppr?pri? to  ? bi8 friends the shibboleths of the Ta.nit Reform party-and he did so without the slightest protest from the so-oalled Liberal Free Traders who were gathered to hear him." After quoting his words, the" Speotator" continues:This is either nonsense, and mischievous nonsense, or else it means that the Liberal party are advised by their typical rei>ressii'ta/ti\re to abandon the policy of maintaining free exchange and free contract wherever possible, and to enter upon the futile and dangerous task of attempting to encourage trade by Government action i.e., the protection of commeroe and industry. Translated into action, this means bounties for industry, either through uneconomic '4 Lloyd George is railway rates, such as Mr. Lloyd George is always feeling after, or else by some other equally undesirable instrument. Bounty-fed industries are always demoralised industries. and we are not sure that we would not as soon see Free Trade absndoned for a tariff as Free Trade abandoned for a, system of 'encouragement by Government action.

BOMBS IN BENGAL I —————- ————— Discovery of a Band of Anarchist I Plotters i ANARCHIST ARSENAL More Startling Disclosures Expected The Calcutta police have now unearthed a widespread conspiracy to assassinate certain obnoxious officials. There is evidence that the plot was hatched at Calcutta, and clues are still being followed up. As a sequel to this discovery a nativeshop was raided on Saturday morning, and a number of finds of the most startling descrip- tion were made, including six fully-charged bombs of grea.t explosive power, a quantity of cartridges, and materials for the manu- facture of the same, and a marked copy of the "Illustrated London News," containing a dia,gr.im of the manner in which Kin,go I Carlos and the Crown Prince of Portugal were murdered. A house in the suburbs of Calcutta has also been raided, and further bombs have been found, together with a quantity of dynamite and picric acid. Thirty arrests have been made in connec- tion with the affair, one of the men arrested being Ba-dindo Grhose, editor of a venuumlar newspaper, and a leader of the gang.- Oentral News. Anarchists' Arsenal Before dawn on Saturday the police raided two houses in the city and discovered large quantities of explosives in both, including stores of dynamite, picric acid, fulminate, and detonators fitted to incomplete bombs. Twenty-three persons were arrested and a quantity of correspondence was seized. It is difficult to obtain information, as the police are very reticent, but it is believed tha.t owing to information received another raid is expected, which is likely to be accom- panied by more arrests and startling dis- c i,) so. --TZe,u t el-. The amount of bombs, explosives, ammu- nition, and arms seized in Anarchist dens and the office of the Na-vasakti 11 news- paper turns out to b--3 larger than was thought, adds a special message. The Lomb.) were of the latest pattern, and electrical batteries for contact work were also dis- covered. 0 It took a long line of carts to convey the material seized to the police station. A box containing correspondence was also dis- covered, and the documents will probably lead to further startling disclosures. A library of up-to-date Looks on the manu- facture of explosives and a collection of Anarchist, pamphlets preaching sedition have been secured. Plotters of Good Position Some of the men apprehended are of sub- stantial pogition, and one is a chemist, who has studied in Paris. One of the prisoners is reported to have declared that he had been inspired by a I study of the vernacular press and by the speeches of extremist leaders. A high police official states that the whole of the gang has not been arrested. The manufacture of bonibs is not confined to Calcutta, but has been going on in other parts. He attributes this Anarchist tendency to the influence upon a section of the population of the doings of Anarchists in Enrope and America. He thought that this capture would check the activity of the Indian Anarchists for a time, but not for long. The native papers make no comment on the outrage or on the raid.

SATURDAY EARLY CLOSING Cardiff Drapecy Assistants Move I A general meeting of the employee can- nested with the drapery trade will be held to-night (Monday) to consider the question of the early closing of shops on Saturday.

I BARONY OF MILFORD Nr-iugham Daily Post" London cor- restpond'eri.t:—The peerage which, according -to rumour, is to be revived for Mr. Wynford Philippe, in view of his retirement from the PLbitir,,P,s, ??tion of Pembrokeshire, ie the Barony of Milford, which has already been held by two members of the family. Mir. Wynford PhTlipps, the eldest of three brother.g of commanding physique, who are aoll in the House of Commons, is the heir to the baronetcy now held by his father, Oanon Sir James Eras-smite Philipps. The seventh baronet, Sir Richard Philipps, was created Ba-ron Milford in 1766, and on his death in 1823 the title became extinct. Twenty-fou.r years later another Plhilipps was given the barony, but he died without issue, so that there b,as been no holder of the title since 1857, though the widow of this last Lord Mil- ford is still living- The family is one of great antiquity in South Wales, the flTSt baronet having received the honour in 1621.

I OFFICER'S BROKEN HEART I have deliberately thrown away my [ happiness- I requeist naval funeral, as it broke my heart to leave the service, and I gave the best of my life to it. The above is an extract from a pa.thetic letter written by Lieutenant Montagu Lister Hulton, a son of the late Sir W. Hulton, Bart., who shot himself at the Park Hotel, Preston, on Friday. At the inquest on Saturday the verdict was that Lieutenant Hulton committed suicide while of unsound mind.

"ABUSIVE" LANGUAGE A man charged at Stratford on Satur- day with using obscene language objected strongly to the adjective. He had "never in his natural used obscene Language, he said. Magistrate: Well, we'll call it "abusive" language. Prisoner: Yes! I shall prefer that. It is more orthodox and sensible. So he paid up for abusiveness, and, having ■apologised to the bench for giving trouble, offered the reporters "two bob" to keep the case out of the papers.

POLICE RAID SEQUEL I Michael Marshall, a commission agfcnt, was charged on a warrant at the London Guild- hall on Saturday with keeping an office for betting purposes.

Wben witness with other officers visited the place on F'riday he saw seven bets made ranging from 40s. to 2s. Defen/diant was fined JE50. or three months. Seven men found in the office by the police pleaded guilty to being in a betting house, a-n". were severally bound over.

AN UNPARALLELED APRIL Meteorologists are already busy with their statistics trying to find a parallel. Not only have they failed so far to discover an April go wild and fierce, but in many districts the snowstorm has eclipsed in its fury any expe- rienced in 1381, and the worst of it is that it did not stand alone.—"Country Life."

DEATH SENTENCE The East Sussex coroner was informed on Saturday of the death of Mr. Arthur Ussher, living at Woodhursfc, Peas Pottage. Deceased, it is stated, had been told that he had not more than a month to live. This apparently 69 played on his mind that he shot himself with a revolver. Deceased had recently undergone an operation.

He commenced life with less than the pro- verbial half-crown. At fourteen he was earn- ing ten shilling a week. Now he owns 100,030 cattle and 10,0-0 horses. He sold a section of the Broken Hills for LicO. Six months later it was re-sold for £450,000.

STRUGGLE WITH SUSPECT An exciting tussle and chase after two suspects was described at Mortlakcon Satur- day, when two men, named Smith and Jones, were remanded charged with burglary at East Sheen. Seeing a jemmy mark on the door of a hou6e, a constable said he blew his whistle, and then saw the men come out on the roof and enter an empty house through the sky- light. Smith was seized as he was escaping through a trap-door, and a tussle ensued, during which he sprang to the open window, but was held down until assistance arrived. Jones was caught alter a long chazie over fences and gardens.

AFTER MR. HUNNABLE I A summons for street obstruction against Arthur Hunnable, of Ilford, was called on at :t rafon] on Saturday, but thu defendant -A-a6 not in attendance. Mr. Barker appeared for the police, and said: He is rather a .diftknlt gentleman t?? reach. I understand he is at Dundee. (Laughter.) The Clerk (Mr. Atbwater): Wait till the bye-eiections are over. The summons was adjourned for three weeks, Mr. Barber observing: We will make strenuous efforts to have it served by that time—in Dundee, Wolverhampton, Montrose, or somewhere else. (Laughter.) I

POISON PROOF DOG I A remarkable story is forwarded by a Bris-I tol correspondent. A terrier having bitten a child, the owner of the animal decided to have it destroyed. A chemist syringed pruseic acid down the dog's throat, but with- out the desired result, so a second, and stronger, dose was administered. The ani- mal, however, again suffered no ill effects. The next day it was given a piece of meat containing enough strychnine to kill a dozen dogs, but the poison again proved futile. The dog was then chained up, and is still alive.

A MISSING CARDIFF MAN I In the Proba,te Court to-day a.n application wa,s made for leave to presume the death of Mr. John Rcchards, of Cardiff, a donkeyman, on board the steamship Gatesgarth, which sailed on Dtlcemiber 3, 1907, from Liverpool for Pen a i'th. Mr. A. oJ. David, counsel for the applicant (the widow of the presumed de-ceased', stated that on the 4th of December, the vessel was seen in Carnarvon Bay, and had not since been heard of. The vessel had been posted a.t Lloyd's as missing. Mr. Justice Bargrave Deane gave leave to presume the death on the 4th of December last.

SWANSEA WOUNDING CHARGE Thomas Morris, 61. bricklayer, was charged at Swansea to-day with cutting a.nd wound- ing Annie Griffiths, lodging-house keeper, 12, Strand.

He then asked for his change, although, he had not given any money, and he drew a kn.ife from a basket and stabbed her in the breast, inflicting a slijfht wound. The caee was adjourned.

A 2,000 YEAR-OLD CEREMONY The dominating element in the Jewish calendar for some weeks to come is the counting of the Olner. A ceremony inti- inately associated with the la.nd of Pales- tine and with the Temple service, it has been nothing more than a merehistoric reflection since the days of the Temple, that is to say, roughly speaking, for close upon 2,000 years. But it has held its firm place in the Jewish ritual, and evitably there have clustered around it associations somewhat different from its original purpose.—"Jewish Chro- nicle.

MINERS V. NEWSVENDORS A fatal street brawl occurred at lkns to-day. A dispute arose between four news- vendors and a number of miners, who reproached them for selling a journal which is opposed to M.

You have got that vest, too! Now I feel more comfortable. Asked where the other property was, he said: "That's on the Continent. You won't get that. The other chap with me had all the lot. I only had these boots as my sl1.are." The magistrate committed him for trial. 1 1

His lordship said he had decided to seek the I new of that committee before coming to a decision. The Chairman (Alderman F. J. Beavan) sa-id he was dead against such a holiday, and he did not think the committee ought to coun- tenance it. If holidays were to be multiplied they must ask the salaries committee to c c) n ?qi consider what bearing it would have on the question of salaries.

Another Landslip SERIOUS MOVES IN RHYMNEY VALLEY The earth disturbances in the Rhymney Valley are assuming a more serious form. On Saturday the retaining wall near Sebas- topol railway bridge was found to have moved so close to the line that the trains were only allowed to go past the scene at a slow pace, and the masonry has since been taken away by the repairers, who are con- stantly on the watch for developments. Before this was done, however, the wall was actually within a couple of inches of the footboards of the carriages, with every sign of turther encroachment. Every care is being taken by the railway authorities to ensure safety. Above the wall stretches a tremendous bank. which ii almost perceptibly moving. Matters are, if anything, worse on the Mon- mouthshire side of the valley. The dry weather has produced fresh disturbances at the scene of the great slide of a couple of years age, and many tons have become dis- lodged from the mountain top and settled againet the gigantic heap which formerly fell and now acts as the guardian of the road, the Brecon and Merthyr Railway, and the Powell-Duffryn Oolliery.

DEPUTY-CLERK'S SALARY Mr. Cecil Brown, the deputy-town-olerk, fent in an application to the Cardiff Finance Committee this morning applying for an advance in his salary, which now stands at £ 350. Mr. Brown pointed out tha.t. this gum was lower than that paid to his predecessor, and that the saJaries paid elsewhere to deputy-town-clerhs were Birkenhead, £ 450; Croydon, £ 450; Nottingham, £ 500; Swansea, £550. The Chairman (Mr. F. J. Beavan) said there was no question that Mr. Brown's qualifica- tions and abilities commanded a higher furure, but the point was whether the salary was low for such a man as they actually required. The Deputy Lord Mayor (Mr. H. C. Vivian) moved that the ,alary be increaaed to £ 450; bu.t at the su?estion of the cha.irman, MT. ViviAn amended his resolution to iCi v MT: this wae carried unanimously.

On obtaining admission he discovered his wife lying dea-d in a pool of blood, shot through the heart with a rifle by her side. Mrs. Lawrence has been in failing health recently, and it is presumed that she placed the rifle against her breast, and released the trigger by the aid of a stick, the bullet pass- ing through the heart.

RICH IN TWO MONTHS Mr. Charles Morse. the "Ice King," who was indicted in New York in February for grand larceny and perjury, has been gradually pay- ing off his debts, and on Saturday announced that he was prepared to liquidate his liabi- lities completely.

I LEICESTER SENSATION. I r FORCED TO JOIN A GANG OF I BURGLAR. John Frederick Spenoer, who is in prison at Ijeioester on charges of burglary in the district, has, it is announced, made a con- fession. He states that his drapery business did not pay, and lie became pressed for money, and the business was disposed of. He says he made the acquaintance of a man, who aaid he was the head of a gang of burglars. Spencer asserts that he was forced to join a company of burglars and share their secrets. They took him to a house where a burglary had been planned in Kent-street, Leicester. He took no part himself in the hurglary, but was told off to keep watch whilst the gang entered the premises and carried off the valiiablee- The same thing ooouirred on a good many occasions, until he became hardened and desperate and had not sufficient courage to draw back. He was continually being com- pelled to go on, he adds, and the result was that, he was present at and took part in a large number of burglaries that were com- mitted in Leicester and neighbourhood. Before his temptation and fall he was an earnest worker in the Sunday school and ohapei.
