NEWPORT DISASTER
NEWPORT DISASTER ir m DEATH-ROLL OF 20 Trench Flooded by Tide The disaster at the new lock of the Alexandra Docks extension works appears from calculations which the contractors (Mesers. Easton Gibb and Sons) made on Saturday afternoon to be even more serious in respect of loss of life than was feared on Friday evening immediately after the calamity. And one of the elements whioh then caused serious apprehension, viz., the force of the tide upon the artificial dam at the mouth of the trench fulfilled on Satur- day the worst fears. Water percolated, as the spring tide rose, in through the earth- work, flooding the bottom of the trench, and so completely blotting out the hopes of rescue which had been entertained about the poor fellows below, some three or four of whom had been known to be alive. They had up to after midnight on Friday been communicated with by conversation and by the passing in to them of stimulants and sus- tenanoe. The collapse of the timber work, which had been so laboriously constructed to keep intact the trench whilst it was being prepared for the concrete, weakened its power of resistance, and the pressure of water from the River Usk completed the work of devastation. Up to this time on Saturday and right away through from the period at which the terrible disaster occurred there had been continuous and most strenuous endeavours to get at the imprisoned men and rescue as many as possible alive. But when the water made its way through it became absolutely certain that the only thing then left was to olear the trench and remove the dead bodies. It was a particularly sad climax on Satur- day to the h?rodsm and the persistency of the reecuers, as well a6 to the 13, ??i4r and noble endurance of the entombed men, that &11 hope should have been cut off. The Scene on Sunday I The soone at the trench on Sunday would haw been witnessed by thousands of people if Messrs. Easton Gibb and Sons, the con- tractors. had oared to issue so many permits. But they discreetly decided to limit the num- ber to those who had some bona-fide business or interest in the matter and who applied at their office for passes. They would issue none to women. The roadways leading to and from the works were thronged. As a. matter of fa-et. there was very little doing at the trench. There were 50 or 60 men at work taking away such of the plant M could be taken to pieces easily. It was decided to dismantle the big concrete mixer, whioh stood upon the north side of the trench —that great, 63-ton object which was so con- spicuous in the "Evening Express" photo- graphs on Saturday. The work of clearing the bottom of the trench of all obstructions and getting out the dead bodies of the fifteen to twenty men will n^t be started at once. The engineers were on Sunday considering various schemes for dealing with it, but none have as yet been decided upon. It is no easy matter, as anyone could see. Those enormous sheet Piles-400 or 500 of them-besides the struts, have, of course, all been twisted out of their original position, and it will be a matter of considerable diffi- culty to remove them, as they are so deeply embedded. But the engineers are by no means dismayed a.t tåe prospect. The chief drawback now is that the accident will delay the completion of the great lock by possibly six months beyond the time originally fixed. REPLY TO RUMOURS I niportant Statement by Mr. W. C. Cooper A very important matter was dealt with on Sunday, and one which will allay a good deal of public feeling and anxiety. During Satur- day and Sunday there had been persistent rumours about the work and material in the trench. It was carried from lip to lip that men who had been working on the job had come out because they feared it was unsafe, that Riga timber had been used when pitch- pine ought to have been, and other things of that sort. With a view to getting to know the exact value of these persistent and widely-spread statements, one of out represeivtativea saw on Sunday Mr. W. G. Cooper, the agent for the contractors, and asked him if he had heard anything of the kind and what was the answer. Yes," replied Mr. Cooper, I beard the rumour for the first time at four o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Since then I have heard a good deal of it. It was most absurd. One rumour went the length of eaying that the timbers rose and fell six inches with each change of shift. The whole story and every bit of it it4 most absurd. When we heard of the rumour that men had come out of the trench because thy were afraid to work there we asked all the leading gangers about it, and they said they had not heard a word about any such thing. It is quite true tha-t we used Riga wood for the struts and wailings and pitch-pine for the piles. That is the ueual thing to do, and we have been doing it all the time without anyone complaining. The timber is good, as anyone who understands the matter can see for him- self. It was the same kind of timber as was u&sd in the trench on the other side. And, then, as to the work not having been pro- perly done, as I believe wag also suggested by the rumour, why, there are relays of workmen, gangers who look after the work, sectional gangers, the chief walking ganger (or outside manager), the engineers, and myself all on the side of the contractors. Than there is the resident engineer, who inspects the work periodically, aid ve have had a number of weJl-known engineers here, who have complimented us upon the trench. Nor can any fault. I think, be found with the time it occupied in con- striletion-fiv.e, weeks. That is rather under than over thy usual time, and it is always better to get a trench done quickly than tardily, beside, the firm (Easton Gibb and Sons) do not insure our men now, and it is not very likely that we would do anything to incur extra risk. We have had as many as 3,000 men working at these docks, and another thousand at the quarries at Trehy* (Bedwas). But we do not insure under the Workmen's Compensation Act." "Do you think the water which has gone into the trench is all river water?" Mr. Cooper. "-No, not all river water. Some river water, no doubt, has made its way in through cracks rr, ?_de in the dam by the collapse, but though the dam looks so alight at the top, on the outside we have made what is called a six-to-one slope, which increases its thickness very much. Beside the river water there is an accumulation now of water which always finds its way into a sinking whenever you get to the gravel." TO__h LIST OF DEAD I i,r ot- the live bodies at the mortuary I have been identified as follows:- 1. Sidney Anderson, single, 14. Wolseloy- gtreCt. Newport. 2. Herbert Francis Hath way (27). married, with wife and two children living at Winterbourne, near Bristol. 3. William Uoughtcn, about 40 years of a-ge. believed to be a native of ])orsct.sMre. 4. Henry LockYtJr. about 40 years of age, belonging to Sitcom be, near Bath. 5. -Not yet identified. Amongst otners, the surnames only of the meu who were believed to be in or about the trench at the time of the accident are:— Ganger Musson, Trent, Ash, Hopkins, Lowell, Brown, Brennan. Tawdry, Grieves, Austin, Turner, Snell. Randle, Williams Cox, Tutor, Jacksoai. Denton, Edwards, Knight, Buokley, Talbot, Clay bough, Griffin, Tompki nson, Wilson, Warner, Goddard, Lewis, Daley, Welsh. Webster, Summerton, Cook, Fletcher. Lloyd. Lydney, Y-illgl Andereon, Tryan, Carter, Doudaw, Mack, Roberts, Barker, Housley, Baker, Gumm, Sullivan, and Holder. Several of thete are supposed to have escaped without injury. List of the Injured I The following are the names 01 tne men who had been taken to hospital: Albert Davies (22). 9, CJOunyoena-etreet. Buffering from a cut head and injury to riba. John Brown, 38, Lime-street, broken leg. Robert French. 106, Raglan-street, broken leg. John Brain (42), Commercial-street, broken arm and shock. John Brown (26). George-street, severe shook. Fred Barfield, Wolseley-street, fractured leg, cut head and hand. John M'CaPbhy (18), 13, Hill-street, injured wrist. Treated and discharged. Edwin Ash (16), 8, Mill-parade, sprained ankle. Treated and discharged. John Palford, or Playford (50). 2, Caetle- Ctreet, out head. Treated and discharged. John Leggy, 7, Emlyn-terrace, internal Injuries. Two patients are at Wie "worxnouee ooa- jpital: Th«y are:— Aroert Musecm (38), gaager, of 41, UMwrence-1 I street, with fractured breast bone, fractured collar-bone, and ribs. Frederick Davies (32), of 15, Castle-etreet, with fractured collar-bone. Of those who have been identified amongst the killed, the best known locally was a young craneman, Sidney Anderson, who lived with his mother in Wolseley-street, near the Alexandra Dock. He is spoken of by all who knew him as a most exemplary young man, and the sole support of his mother. Like several of the others employed at the works, he was known by two names—Anderson and Powell, his mother having married a second time. She was completely grief-stricken at his fate, and, in conversat,ion with one of our representatives on Saturday, re-called the fact that three Qr four years ago an elder son also met with his death in a trench at Avonmouth dock, then in course of construction. The surviving son (Sidney), then in his teens, cheered her up and said, Well, mother, I will keep you now." They came to Newport, and he had a job at the docks extension works. Anderson's was one of the first of the dead bodies brought out of the trench on Friday evening. THE INQUEST. The coroner ('Mr. Lyhd-on Moore) has decided to open the inquest this (Monday) afternoon at 2.50. It will proba,bly only be necessary to take sufficient evidence of identification to allow the bodies so far recovered to be buried. Then there will be an adjournment for a sutaciezit interval to allow all the circumstance to be inquired into and the evidence marshalled. The coroner visited t,he scene of the accident on Sunday, and examined the timber. Work to Go On Now that all hope of getting out any of the men alive from the trench has been aban- doned, the engineers are considering a, scheme to devise the best plan for clearing the trench and to go on with the work again As a preliminary, the contractors arc now filling in the trench with I'<and and making: the place more firm for the men to work upon. It seems apparent that the whole p,la,ce will have to be piled around again, as it was originally, before it can be op-enc-<i up. These steps, of course, are not token out of dip- respect for the dead men. as it is only the proper course to be pursued in going on with the work, which includes the removal of the bodies. Originally the trench took five weeks to construct, and it seems quite likely t-hat many weeks will now elapse before the bodies can be reached and brought to the surface. With reference to th- water v,-pk-h hn" been finding its way into the trench during the last day or awo, powerful pumps will be let down to keep it clear. The condition of the injured men in both h-ospitals this morning is fav-,iirably reported upon. Mr. John Macaulay, the gren,-raj manager of the docks company, states that the com- pany are naturally deerdy grieved and con eerned at the disaster, but it is necessary to push on with the work fast as possible. It is scarcely possible that even to-day a complete list of the men Supposed to be in the trench will be available because the con- tractors are so indifferently informed as to the identity of the men. A Mournful Incident Whilst sand was being tipped into the trench to-day the parents and two brothers and two sisters of the boy who has been known t-hrol-ighout the pitiful stories of the disaster as King visited the scene, and cast affectionate glances at the place, which will not be opened arrai'n probably for a month or six weeks, wb-ere the lad remains. In con- nection with this matter, it is necessary ,to state that the boy was only known in the works by his fancy name, "Kingy." His parents' name ie Williams.
COAL AGREEMENT.
COAL AGREEMENT. Terms of Settlement I Mr. C. B. Stanton, miner's a^ent for the Aberdare district, addressed a ma,S(3 meeting of miners at the Market-hall, Aberdare, to- day. Mr. W. R. Evans preside.d over the largest crowd of workmen which has ever gathered in the building. Mr. Stantan ex- plained the agreement, signed by the Conci- liation Board last Saturday, and dwelt rather closely upon the various points. A number of questions were satisfactorily an- swered by the agent, and a vote of confi- dence in Mr. Stanton was unanimously passed. The new agreement reads as fol- 10NVS: Memorandum, of agreement, made the 50th day of June. 1909, between the undersigned duly authorised to act on behalf of the collieries in Monmouthshire and South Wales, whose iiameq o. titles are set forth in the schedule hereto (hereinafter called the owners) of the one part, the r rider signed-dluly authorised to act on ben a-ii of the workmen (excepting enginemen, stokers, amd outside fitters) now employed at the collieries of the said owner-of the other part, and supplemental to an agree- ment made on the 9th ci December, 1906, between the owners by trtieir reureeentr- tives of the one part and the workmen by their representatives of the other part, and which agreernant is known as the Conoolia- tion Board agreement. Whereas, in view of the coming inito operation of the Coal Mines Regulation Act, 1906, on the 1st of July next, the result of whioh the owiners allege would render impossible for the workmen (Foir continuation see Next Editionr. Rhondda in Full Swing With the exoeption of throe, all the col- lieries in the Pontypridd a.nd Rhondda Valleys started work to-day. The three excep- tions are Cyinmer, Tydraw, a-nd Cilfynydd. With regard to the first two, there is some minor misunderstanding as regards the hauliers, while at Cilfynydd there are some outstanding differences between the ma.na.ge- ment and the workmen to be disposed of, apart altogether from the operation of the new agreement. As is usual after a stoppage, there were numerous abstentions, but seveial of the collieries are in full swing.

BLAINA WRESTLING - MATCH I
BLAINA WRESTLING MATCH I At the Blaina Empire on Saturday even- ing one of the hardest wrestling contests ever seen in Wales was witnessed between AllJert W. Ooles, the Welsh miner, of Aber- tiUery, and WiJihelm Klein. of London, trainer to Councillor Peter Wright. The match was £10 "ide, and 5 pe roent. of the proceeds to go to the winner. Coles was the first to force matters, making a dive for his opponent's legs and holding Klein in a chancery hold for four minutes, after which Klein managed to wriggle free. Klein worked guardedly and' allowed Coles much scope, then he grasped his opponent's legs, and, forcing him over had almost gained a fail, when Coles wricgled ,out. At length Coles tripped Klein and, holdng him in chancery, forced him down, winning the first fail in Mmin. 25sec. The match will be concluded this morning. Mr. Jack Neill was referee.

New Movement in Cardiff j
New Movement in Cardiff j I MR. JOHN CORY Is CIFT TO CANTON Wellington-street, Cardiff, was en fete on Saturday, when the first of the John Cory Men's Institutes was opened by Sir Clifford Cory, V.P. Tbe friends of the movement present included Sir William Crossman, Mr. Richard Cory, Alderman F. J. Boa van. Prin- cipal Griffiths, Principal Edv/ards, and Messrs. F de Courcy Hamilton (chairman of the committee). WID. Laurence thon. treasurer), W. T. Le-c (hon. secretary), F. S. Higman (general secretary Y.M.C.A.), L. H. Allot, Pratt. W H. Scott (the architect), H. W. Flint, and W. H. Pethybrids-e, and the Misses Lee and other ladies. Sir Clifford Cory opened the doors amid loud applause. At the assembly in the billiard-room imme- diately after-ii-(Is Mr. F. de Con icy Hanrl- toll presided. He said they ought to congra- tulate themselves tha.t Canton had the fiift of the four institutes. In declaring the institute open, Sir Clifford Cory (who wa.s warmly received) said it was a great pleasure to be present on behalf of his father, who was better than he had been, but not well enough to disregard his health, which he was building up at Kolkestone. (Applause.) That institute was the forerunner of three more. One in Comet-street would be opened at the end of July, another in Milford-street three weeks later, and the fourth about the end of August. Institutes of the kind they were opening would, without, confiscation of property, close more public-houses than any amount of legis- lation. (Applause.) Though the institute was to be mainly of the social kind, it was not to be non-religious, and thare would be brother- hood services. It was to be non-sectarian and non-political and teetotal, but it was to be of a distinctly religious character in uphold- ing the Christian faith. (Hear, hear.) Sick a.nd benefit olubs would be invited to hold their meetings in the institute free. It would also be the centre for athletics, cricket, foot- ball, and other outdoor games, a.nd he hoped it would prove a blessing to all members and those connected with them. (Applause.) In proposing a vote of thanks to Sir Clifford Cory, Mr. Richard Cory said th-e-e institutes were very magna-nimous gifts, a-lid he did not think his brother, Mr. John Cory, could bestow some of his wealth in better ways than he was doing. (Hear, hea.r.) These insti- tutes, he was convinced, would prove one of the best agencies in the city for helping men, and it was right that his brotner should give his money where he had made it. (Applause.) Mr. D. H. Francis seconded. Mr. W. Laurence supported the motion, which wa,g adopted with acclamation. It was then the Chairman's plea.sure to propose a very hearty and sincere vote of thanks to Mr. John Cory for his munificent gift. Their only regrt was thc.t the state of Mr. John Cory's health made it impos- sible for him to be precent. (Hear, hear.) Sir William Crossman, in' seconding, said three years ago, when he was chief magis- tra.te of Cardiff, he saw Mr. John Cory to see if he would give a oent-ral institution for the workers of Cardiff. Mr. Cory thought it would be better to have district institutes, like the one they were opening, near the homes of those it would benefit. The insti- tutes, of which that was the first, were tho result, though he took no credit to himself in the matter. Mr. W. T. Lee roadie a strong and eloquent appeal for a library, saying ZESO would give t'hem fZO for each institute. Ke asked Sir Clifford Cory to accept a silver inkstand as a memento of the occasion. (Applause.) Sir Clifford offered £100 to form the sug- gested libraries. (Applause.)
GRAVE OUTLOOK IN MOROCCO
GRAVE OUTLOOK IN MOROCCO Reported Flight Mulai Hafid Every day's reporte, both from Fez and from the southern provinces (says the Tangier correspondent of the Standard ") strengthen the belief frankly expressed by the highest foreign and native officials that the Moorish Empire, whioh barely a century ago was able to dictate to Great Britain conditions for the ransom of English captives, is on the verge of disruption. The situation was recently summed up by a distinguished diplomatist in the single word "chaos." The tide of popular enthusiasm which bore Mulai Hafid to the throne of his ancestors is ebbing fast. New pretenders are cropping up right and left, while undisguised dissensions between the Monarch and powerful chieftains like the Grand Vizier El Glawi threaten a renewal, open or veiled, of the rebellion which ciiaracterised the reign of the hapless Abd ul Aziz. Moreover, the Sultan's attitude towards France and Spain has provoked those Powell to take simulta<neous action for the protection of their interests. The Paris Journal has received the 1 al- lowing telegram from Madrid: -A dispatch from Melilla states that. according to advices from Fez, derived from native sources, El Itoghi has entered the town, and Mulai Hafid has Red.-R-outoor.

THE TWO SCOTLANDS. I
THE TWO SCOTLANDS. I There are two Scotlands," declared the Rev. R. J. Campbell, in the course of his sermon at the City Temple yesterday, "the Scotland of a dour, forbidding, religious faith, and the Scotland of the humanism of Robert Burns. The latter is the salvation of the former. Burns saved the hard, dried-up soul of Scottish religion."

INQUEST ON SIR CURZON WYLLIE
INQUEST ON SIR CURZON WYLLIE I VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER The inquests on the victims of the Imperial Institute murder opened in London to-day at 9.i0. Mr. Luxmore Drew, the Kensington coroner, sat at the Kensington Town-hail on the body o,f Sir Curaon Wyliie. The court hout-to was kept scrupulously guarded, and practically only interested persons were admitted. SlLpelointcndent Quinn, the famous "Anarchist" detective, of Scotland Yard, and Superintendent ifcaaos and Inspector Draper repif-emed the police. Sir Benjamin Frank- lin attended at the request of Lady Curzon Wyliie on her behalf. Colonel Sir David liarr, a member of the Council of India, and a in end of Sir Curzon Wyliie wat also pie- bent. After the jury were empanelled they were taken to view the body, which had been removed jTfom deceased's house at Onslow- square to the Kensington Mortuary for the purposes! of the ÜHíuÐt. The prisoner Nadar Lai Dinghra was not represented. The Coroner briefly opened the inquest by remarking that on Friday morning the country was startled by hearing of tiie ter- rible tragedy which occurred at the Imperial Institute. "The case that would be developed to the jury," he said, "will be so clear and simple in itself that I don't anticipate any difficulty as reg-ards the length of the inquiry," but he was not sure it could be con- cluded today. The first witness was Mr. H. G. Wedderburn, a member of the English Ba.r and brothe.r-in- law of Sir Ourzon Wyllie. Ho identified the body as that of Sir Curzon Then followed a young Indian, named Madal Mohan Sinha. a student in the Middle Temple, who said he was at the Imperial Institute on Thursday night. He saw an Indian fire the revolver at Sir Curzon Wyliie, who was just facing him, and afterwards at Dr. Lacaca. Witness threw himself on Dinghra, who aimed it at witness as he was rushing at him. I gave him a push," con- tinued witness. There wore some chairs on the right-hand side. Hp collided with the chairs and lost his balance. There was then a straggle a.nd the REVOLVER WAS TAKEN FROM HIM. I Did he say anything- while lie was with you?" asked the coroner. "The only thing- replied witness, "he said was, I would like to have my spectacles.' Was the accused calm?—Quite calm. Mr. Douglas "William Thorbum, a jour- nalist, of the National Liberal Club, who also witnessed the shooting, gave similar evidence to the proviotiis witness. The assailant (lie said) made no remark except that he asked for his spectacles. "I a,kc-d him what he had done," said witness, and why he had don,e it. He made no reply a.t all. -t-([ litd.Y, said she was Mi-ss Beck, a middle-aged lady, said sne was secretary of the Indian Institute which gave the reception on Thursday night. She had known Dhina-gri for four months. She sent him an invitation to the reception. Dhinagri was known to Sir Curzon Wyliie, who had asked witness for the address of the Indian. What sort of a man was DhingraP" asked the Coroner. There was nothing to erotiso my sus- picion about him," replied witness. He was always calm." Witness spoke to him thrice on Thursday night. She a.sked him what he was doing, a.nd h~ said he in tended to return to India in October, after he had passed his examination. By a, Juryman: Do you think Dhimgra had been influenced by any of the seditious speeches that have been recently made?- Net that I know of. Police-constable Xicliolls described the searching of Dhingra at the Imperial Insti- tute. The weapon with which he fired at his victims was a Colt automatic pistol, loaded in six chambers. Inside his coat, in a pocket, he also a found a Belgian automatic pistol, fully loaded. Wituetss then produced a dagger, which he unsheathed in court, dagger, which he umsheathed in court. It was about lOin. long, the bright pointed blade being about 4in. long. Witness ex- plained that that dagger wa-s found in his ooal pocket on the left-hand side. Detective-sergeant Oliver made an interest- ing- statement in court with regard to the ehot that Dhingra fired at his owin head. Taking the Colt pistol in his hand, he fir,e.d. several shots in a natural position, and ex- plained that unless there was a pressure of the hand on the butt. the pistol would not fire, and he pulled the trigger several times to ifrustrate this. "If a man want-s tD commit suicide," he continued (alnod here he sharply turned the pistol on to his own head), you will observe that the pressure of the hand is released owing to the strained position, and, although you ea;n hear a click, the hammer will not fire the cartridge. Wit- nesses have spDkell to hearing a oliak when Dhingra pointed the pistol at his head, and that accounts for the misfire." Ins-pector Draper i>rod'uced A LETTEiR FROM SIR OURZON WYLIJE to Dhingra, daited April 13. It wa,s found in Dhingra's lodgings, and therein Sir Gurzon offered to be of any assistance he could to Dhingra, and asking him to oa-ll at the India Office, if he conveniently could- The inspec- tor also produced a shooting book, in which Dhingra had written a reoord of pistol prac- tice for some time before the murder. The book was specially prepared fOr the purpose, and contained columns with regard to angles and height of fire, &c. The Coroner, after examining the book, said that the preti-ce must have been con- sidera-ble, Dr. John Buohanian said he was at the reception, and his atteinior, was called to the murdor by hearing frring. "I thought at fimt," he said, "it. was fireworks." ii-e found Sir Curson Wyliie lying in a pool of blood. Dr. Thomas Neville, who was called to the. Imperial Institute, described the wounds on Sir Curzon Willi-a. They werd aU on the face, and two of the shots had gone right through the head. The cause of death was shock following upon wounds. This was all the evidenoe offered, and the Coroner briefly addressed the jury. At the outset of his remarks he said that the sym- pathy, not only of those present, but of the w hal-e world, would go out to Lady Curson Wyihd end to the Indian Office, who had lost suoh a brilliant servant- The Coroner proceeded to review the evidence, and said that if there was any farther evidence the jury would lik-e he would adrou.rn the rase.

M.P'S SYMPATHY WITH MURDERERI
M.P'S SYMPATHY WITH MURDERER I The Press Association states that in a speech last night at Huddersfield Mr. Victor Grayson, M.P., said, referring to the murder of Sir W. Curzon Wyliie, he had that morning seen a portrait of the murderer, whom they called an assassin, and he said to himself why not put Lord Molrley in and say anouher assassin? He did not condone the act, but extended his sympathy to the poor Indian, ma.d and exasperated by the horrors endured by his people.
Lady in Flames I
Lady in Flames I SERIOUS NEWPORT ACCIDENT I An extraordinary burning accident to a Newport lady has only just been reported. Miss Clarice Duekham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Duckbam, of The Gaer, Newport, were at the Lighthouse Beach with a friend for a picnic on Friday, and whilst making ten. a light from the fire which the two young ladies had kindled, caught the dress of Miss Duckham, and almost in a moment she was in a mass of flames. Her friend, realising the dreadful situa- tion and being unable in a<ny other way to extinguish the flames, rushed Mis* Ducknam into the tideway close at hand, a.nd thereby put the fire out. Later on Miss Duckham was driven back to her parents' home, a distance of about five miles, and has been ever since under medioal treatment. She was in a most serious condition at the time, but she is now considerably improved.
Malta Threatened _?I
Malta Threatened ? I FEARFUL PEOPLE SLEEP IN STREETS. I The Paris Eolair" has received the fol- lowing telegram from Rome:—Since Satur- day the sea at Malta. has been still as a lake. It recedes slowly, a-nd then suddenly swells into enormous waves, which rush over the quays and breaks the moorings of vessels anchored in the port. This phenoynena, reported from hour to hour, is accompanied by a terrifying, moaning sound. It is pre- cisely what happened on the eve of the catas- trophe at Messina. People a.re terror- strioken, and many of the inhabitants are sleeping in the streets.

The annual British Empire cycling- cham- pionship meeting, held at Celtic Park. Glas- gow. on Saturday, was r1"),g'g"2("( by misfortune. First the English representatives refused to ride in the quarter-mile owing to the wet track, due to heavy rain, but they eventually mounted, and in the final (,wd (8o;1t.l:1r¡) heat Jones (England). The latt-er protested that he had beE4n compelled, to ride wide by another Scottish competitor, and on the jU(g ordering the race to be re-rldden the Scotsmen would not start, a-nd J ones- rode over. Meredith (England) easily won the ten miles, although his oacing motor broke d.wn. and he ha-d to finish alone. Several other events were postponed till to-day.
WELSH FOOTBALL LEAGUESI
WELSH FOOTBALL LEAGUES I With the exception of the Rhondda Valle, League all the Welsh leagues were repre- sented at the annual meeting of this Union on Saturday evening at the Bristol and South Wales Hotel. Cardiff. Mr. R. Buckland (Swansea.) presided. The annual report and balance-sheet, preeentod by Mr. A. H. Wil- liams, the hon. treasurer, showed a deficiency in the general acoount of 16s. 6d., am d a balance in the Old Boys' account of £ 53. The accounts were unanimously adopted. ThefoL lon-iner officials were elected for the ensuing year:-P.eeiclm.t, -Nlr. H. S. Lyne; vice-presi- dent-s. Messrs. W. M. Douglas, J. Jarrett, E. A. John and A. T. W. James; chairman, Mr. Llewellyn. W.F.U., vice-chairman, Mr R. Buckland (Swansea); hon. treasurer, Mr. A. H. Williams, Cardiff; hon. secretary, Mr. R. W. John. On the motion of Mr. A. H. Williams, it was decided not to recosrnise any league Vv hioh consisted of lees than sIx clube. Mr. J. Andrewartha called attention to the scenes which had in the past taken place in "friendly" games between leag-ue clubs and clllbs unaffiliated to any leagrue or union. —It was unanimously decided to prohibit clubs from playing any teams which were not affiliated to one or other of the various leasrues or unions. In order to prevent "coercion" it was ej?reed tha-t clubs might become afliliated, and thus be under govern- ing- control, but need not necessarily engugc in league g-a-mes. Owing to the large increase in the work of revisintr the va.rious leagues' decisions, it was decided that during the coming season the oommitteeA(on^ member from each letvgue) should mAi on the first Saturday in oacb month. The W.F.U. ruled that the referee in the Birc-hgrove v. Cardiff Welsh match was not entitled to allo-w a player who had been ordered off to return when extra time was played-the game was a cup match. The oom- mit-tee decided to order the clubs to re-piav the game. The Chairman reported that the Welsh Rugby Union had decided to band over complete control of junior football to the Union of Welsh Leagues, with the exception of points of law of the game. Therefore, the findings of the body over which he presided were absolutely final. Welrfi Clubs and the Southern League The Southern Football League, after many futile attempts to secure a second division, are row in a fair way to accomplish that deeirable end. The league have by rule determined that should the second division comprise ten or more clubs at the end of next, floflson, the two k"\t.pl;-¡,ced clubs in the first division table shall be relegated to the lower division. The ten clubs for Division II. are now pra,et-ically a certainty, ard it is hcpedthat the number -will include some elubs from the South Wales district.

This w-eek s flxturos are Nottingham, Bibury, Ponteiract, Diiis^oid, and Hajdock Pii-rK, but amojigst the lot tillre ts no race of outstand- ing- merit.

The Wilton Bandioa.p wi 11 be the chief feature of the card at Bibury o-n Tue^id^ay, in which America Girl is given top w;ej;;h t. This mare is fairly smart over five iuriongc, and, although she has a few good por- formances to her credit, the weight may stop her here. In the opinion of many good judges, TfiK TOWKit, fiiii-ould have won com- fortably at NLwrLi at k-et, and, if liddon by a. strong jockey, Mr. A«ton'tj hoive appears to have a splendid chance of appropriating the spoils in what should prose a good betting race. On Wednesday the Bibury Cup is set for decision, and in app-rai&in^ the c-uiajj-oes of th* 6-m-all held it should he twkan inito account t,hat the bottom weight is 7at 21b, a point worth rememhering in deaiing with the chanees of the top weight*.
