Rush for Palace Yard! UCLY SITUATION FOR A WHILE j Riotous scenes were witnessed in Palace- j yard last night. Thousands in the (piene apparently thought, near upon ten, there J would be no chance of getting through We.-t- minster Hall. They broke rank and tried to rush to St. Stephen's entrance—fortunately, without success. Although the fact had not been published, it was the intention of the authorities last night to keep the door, upen till midnight. At half-past nine (says the "Morning j Lea-der") it was evident that, if this were done, all who remained in the queue would ] be enabled to pass through th- hall. j Jut before quarter to ten, however, under an amazing impulse, the patience of the mul- titude brolie, and thousands surged towards j Palace-yard. There was iittle doubt they would have gone through, but when the cloud of charging people was seen, the police promptly close the doors. A cordon of police drew across the road, near Abingdon-.street, when the Queue broke, but it was scattered instantly. This sudden action of the cull- stables on the spot did, however, gin time for the officers stationed at gt. Stephen's entrance to call up a. few reserves and get' the doors barred. But they were only just in time. The hurrying crowds filled Palace Yard hl.-tantly, tike a sudden tiood. Women screamed, the remnant of the queue in the yard also broke, bitterly angry that, when SD near admittance, their long w ait was of no avail, and aito- j ether ma?tter? looked rathe.r u?Iy for a li?tle, while. The solid mass of police, which by this time packed the approach to the closed door-, brought tne excited folk to reason, and by sheer chaff and good humour the constables got the people on the mova and a.way. It was really a matter of infectious hysteria through the long wait in the heat. and the disap- pointed soon got over the of their oppor- tunity, mopped their pale and heated face;, and went home. Shortly after ten o'clock seeing further waiting was u?eles £ the crowds began to thin. and the Yard emptied. Many told the Leader" representatives thero that they had heell in the queue five hour. only to find the doors shut in the end. Weather Prospects for To-morrow! The weather over western Europe has become changeable and decidedly warm for the time of year and, although a detailed forecast for more tlian twe,nty-foui hours under these conditions is impossible, there is no sign of any decided variation from the present type of weather to-morrow. ¡ With the barometer some,wha,t low, and uuctuatiug slightly and irregularly, there 1- invariably a tendency towards the develop- nient of thunder during the second half of Hay, especially in the Thames valley. There will be several hours of sunshine to- morrow with a temperature of between 60 degs. and 70degs. Sharp showers are expected I to fall at intervals. I IThunderstorm in London I A heavy thunderstorm, accompanied by tor- rential rain. which lasted for several hours, broke over London this morning, and 200 people, including many women, who waited all night outride Westminster Hail to view t.he Lying-in-^tate of King Edward had all unenviable experience, most of them being quickly arenchod through. In spite of the raiil people arrived quickly as the tim& for the I opening of the b:ll a.pproac-hed, and large I contingents of poli-ce were brought from the suburban districts in brakes. Te lizili was opened punctually at six o'clock, at wbbsh hour a nensely packed queue w^s nearly a mile in length. Rain was still failing. AN INCOMPARABLE KING. I LORD ROSK BERT'S TRIBUTE TO I HOYAL PEACEMAKER. I Lord Rosobery presided over a court of I goveo-T.ora of the Koyal Scottish Hospital in London on Wednesday. who adopted resolu- tions expressing sympathy with the lwyal I Family a.t the death of King Edward and I loyalty to King George on his accession. I In the course of his address his Lordship re-called that it was just three weeks since King Edward returned home in the full belief ¡ that he was ready. with restored health and vigour, to meet the great problems of his I kingdom, and with his tact, sagacity, and | experience he would have been of priceless value to his country. It had b?en decreed I otherwise, and they could hnt submit to the decree which ha<? deprived them of their | iroomparable Sovereign. A>s the years of his reign progressed it was given to him to accord to South Africa not merely peace, but union and prosperity, and to found a new empire for the British Crown. When he came to the Throne Lurope was alienated from Great Britain, and he set himself to win back the ¡ goodwill and regard of other countries. The long line of Sovereigns and Princes who would 'follow him to his grave on Friday bore eloquent testimony to his success in this eiieotioh. But it was not merely Princes and Sovereigns of the world whom our late King I' sought to win over to our country. It was the people as well. He had left on all tuitions the impress of his marked and peaceful per- sonality. He had won the hearts of his own people before he came to the Throne, and at the time of his death he was undoubtedly one of the greatest influences for good exist- ing in the world. Alluding to King George, Lore Hosebery said he was called upon to fill the greatest Throne in the world under circumstances both tragic and unexpected, but we might look forward with real hope and real confidence to the reign of our new King.

I ADVICE TO MOTHERS. J I NEATH BABY WRONGLY FEi5 ON I BATH BISCUITS. Mr. Howel Outibbertson held an jnquest at Neath on Wednesday on Blodwen Turner, a-ged three montbg, who died suddenly on Tuesday. Lavinia Turner, the mother, said she bad fed the child from the breast and with bath biscuits soaked in water. The Coroner: Who advised you to give the ohild bath biscuits? No one. Dr. J. W. Thomas said that the child died from a convulsion. In reply to a juryman, he said that these biscuits, although very light, were hardly a proper food for a child of that age. The Coroner (to Mis. Turner): Take my advice. Don't give any solid food to a child until it is pu-st six months. The jury returned a vefdiot in accordance with the medical evidence.

CONSIABLK'S FAIRNESS. I l COMPLIMENTED BY THE CARDIFF STIPENDIARY. Maurice Conneii was before the Cardiff stipendiary on Wednesday for not observing the of the road. Police-constable Giles saad the defendant was driving a pair of horses attached to a mourning coach, and in approaching P,-iiart-h-i-oa(i he crossed to the right and caused a. cyclist to swerve en the pavement. The constable, answering Mr. T. F. Hurley, said the defendant might not have see.i his signal, and the Stipeasliary, in dismissing the case, complimented the officer upon his fairness. He added that it was neceesary, for the convenience and safety of the public, that t.he polioe signals should be obeyed, and, had he not been in doubt as to whether I defendant had seen the signal, he would have inflicted a. heavy penalty.

CANADA. AND UNITED STATES TRADING. t MONTREAL, Wednesday. The Mont real Chamber of Commerce. the most, influential French Ga-nculian trade body in Canada, ha" ad;cxp*ed a resolution asking the Government not to consider a move.ment of the "United States towards a system of reciprocity in tariffs in tariffs of the United. Stabes and Canada on the gix>uml that it would endanger tie future of British prefer- ence, and give to the United States privileges resulting in disastrous competition with Canadian manufacturers and agriculture.

Suspension of Business We are desired by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff to state that he has caueed j a large numJier of prints of the ¡ Proclamation made by his Majesty King I George V. to be posted in Cardiff, which appoints and directs that Friday, the 20th d-ay of May instant, shall be observed as a day of general mourning throughout the United Kingdom, a.nd commands that, the said day shall be so observed and that his I Majesty's subjects eh a 11 order themselves accordingly. The intention of the Proclamation is that on the day on which the funeral of his late I Majesty King Edward VII. takee place all business ehall be suspended, and the Lord May-or has no doubt the loyal citizens of Cardiff will readily and gladly obey the Royal Proclamation. The licensed victuallers of Cardiff bold a meeting on Wednesday, and decided that the recognised hours of closing their houses shall be from eleven o'clock in the morning till three o'clock m the afternoon. It will he optional for any licence-holder to keep on or close his premiee-, all day. It has been arranged that the licenced houses at Newport shall close from eleven a.m. till three p.m. The tradesmen of Merthyr have arranged to keep open their establishments all day to-day instead of shuttiug up at one o'clock as usual, and to close all day to-morrow. Mr. D. Lleufer Thomus (the stipendiary), presiding oYCf the magistrates at Ponty- pridd on Wednesday, Mud that, sitting as licening justices, it was a convenient "opportunity for referring to the arrange- ments for Friday in regard to the universal desire on the part, of the people of this country to show their respect to the late King on the da.y when he would be borne to his hirO recti ng-pkjoe. All engaged in trade and all businesses were suspending everything for a portion at least of the day. and they (the bench) thought it would be very desirable if licensed houeee in the area of tha-t petty-sessional division could be closed, voluntarily, for a portion of the day, so as to set the fullest co-operation of all people in this token of respeot and regret. The bench were very desirous not to do anything which would disorganise trade, but wbltt Ithey wanted to do was to make a suggestion wieh would thereby give the initiative to people who were already anxious to show respect to Royalty. The suggestion of the bench was tha.t licensed houses should be closed from twelve noon to three p.m. Mr. Charles Matthews, solicitor, on behalf of the Pontypridd and TUiondda Va,iley Licensed Victuallers' Association, expressed gratification that tie bench had now suggested the hours of closing. Even if no initimstion had been made as to the desire of the magistrates the licensed victuallers had fully intended to oloae for a portion of the day. Now that the hours of closing had been suggested this would facilitate matters, and all licensed premises would certainly be closed during the time indicated.

DOCKS IDLE ———— ———— Free Labourers Imported GRAVE TROUBLE AT DOCKSIDE Strike-Breakers Return Home It is to he hoped mat the labour difficulty j at Newport docks, small at; it appeared to ba at first. will not end in a serious disaster to the trade and commerce of the port. There is some danger that it may do so. The events ot Wednesday were of a. qnite alarming character. Messrs. Houlder Brothers and Co., who had chartered the steamship Indian Transport, arranged on Tuesday to bring dowh something like 50 general cargo hands from London to load and stow the cargo which the regular hand." at Newport ■deolined to touch at the day rates which Messrs. Houlder Brothers offered. The men arrived at Newport on Wednesday morning at two o'clock. Their coming was known to the local dockers assembled at the railway station to the number of about 80, apparently with a view to giving them a. reception and explaining the local position. But the strike-breakers did not detrain at Nowrport Station. The carriage in which they had travelled was taken by a locomo- tive round the dock lines to the ship's eide, and the men went on board. The intention was that they should be housed on board whilst working the cargo. Some of them were spoken t-o by tlie local dockers, and asked if they would not, under the circum- stances. prefer to go home at the expense of the Unions whose, men were involved. There wae a division of opinion. At .seven a.m., the i-tsual time for work to begin, they Fta-rted loading the vessel. The large crowd which gathered was kept away by a cordon of police, which was thought at the time to be sufficient. Mr. Geo. Jackson, the local sacretary of the Meameus Union, called out to the men not to make themselves blacklegs. The two Unions directly involved, viz., the Dockers, of which Mr. Henry P. Seer is district secretary, and the General Labourers' Union, of which Mr. John Tworuey is general secretary, took a leading part in the demonstration. Though work was going on steadily on the ship there wa« a rising feeling of discontent ashore, and it had been known that oLhi' Unions would take action in sympathy with thiwe more dircctiy concerned. By degrees this became apparent. The oranemen on the docteside declined to go on. Physical Force This lod to the first out-burst of physical force. Some of the imported labour men went awhore to attend to a crane. The crowd by this time 'between cloven o'clock and n<>on) had gnto over a thousand. Seeing the new corners ashore, a rush was made to get. at them, either to strike or to argue. The cordon of police was broken, and the strike-breakers bad to rut?h as fast a.s pos- sible back to the chip. None of them appears to have been actually assaulted, but it was sueh a soene of tumult and mob-law that one of the men in his anxiety to escape to the sate retreat of the ship slipped in getting up the gangway and fell into the dock. He was rescued with nothing more serious than a ducking. The situation had now become 80 serious that it was neoeasary to send for a great many more police. Head-constable isinclair, of the town force, and Superintendent Morgan, of the docks police, were in charge. About 30 constables were drafted to the quay, and kept the crowd back as far as possible. Manager Stoned Shortly before one o'clock all general cargo work was suspended a.t the docks with a view of arbitration jn the afternoon. Mr. Hay, the local manager for Messrs. Houlder Bros., had a narrow esoape about one o'clock. As be was leaving the dockside he was hooted, and "lone6 were thrown at him. He got away as quickly a-s possible and rode off in a hansom. The suggestions of arbitration which were made by Mr. Seer when work was broken off shortly before one o'clock came to nothing in the afternoon. The crowd became larger and larger and more demonstrative; in fact, so much oo that the force of police could not possibly cope with such pressure. There were thousands of men, women, and boys surging towards the ship, and work generally along the dockside and the riverside had ceased. Londoners Consent to Depart At lengtn tlle crowd got to the Ehip's side. a,id the men's leaders went on boa-rd. They interviewed the men, and obtained their con- ,id <)bt-bLined their coti sent to go back to London if their fares were paid. This the Union officials had no hesita- tion in promising. The result was hailed with much loud cheering, and a huge pro- cession was formed from the docks, headed by the Dockere' Union banner, to escort the men to the railway .station to go away by the &.28 p.m. train. The streets were thronged with people all the way to the station. It is expected that the work of loading the Indian Transport, when resumed. will occupy about a fort- night. She is taking in one of the largeet cargoes of general goods ever shipped at New- port. There is very great variety in the character of the goode, which are ooneigned to various South American ports. The general cargo ti-ade is a feature of the prosperity of the mercantile life of Newport, which is being greatly cultivated, and the Alexandra Docks Company have gone to a. very large outlay to meet the needs of shipowners and merchants. The change in the arrangements for paying the men from ton rates to day ratea (as is the case in other ports) is put forward for the purpose, amongst other things, of exercising greater care in the handling and stowing of the goods, which are not only liable to serious damage if not properly stored, but instances of aeffual damage have been brought to the notice of the shipowners after the cargoes have been discharged. Amongst the things dealt with are large quantities of furniture, earthenware, shop fronts, glase showcases, machinery, and many other classes of goods Pee-allarl y liable to damage. Men's Contention I The men say that if they accept the dav rate arrangement, foremen will Ire put over them to see that they do just as much work for less pay, and )' that if their Unions givo in on this point the other workers U the dock who load ooaJ. iron, &c.. will also be asked to forego ton rates and accept day rates. Messrs. Houlder Brothers, however, say that they have no intention of departing from ton rates in such oasee where the liabi- lity to damage is practically nil. Now as to the effect the oonfliot will have ) upon the trade of the port and the whole body of men employed at the docks. All work at the Alexaind-ra Dock, the Town Dock. and the river where crane men were engaged was stopped on Wednesday after- noon, and a.t six p.m. the locomotives were stopped by the management of the docks ¡ beoause there wajs neither coal nor genora-1 cargo being discharged. There was a oon- I signment of 35,000 tons of railway iron to be i shipped at Newport, but when the develop- ment of the disturbance became known one of the steamers was on Wednesday diverted to Cardiff. We understand that in oon sequence of the action of the men in general a.t the docks there will be no work available for anyone to-day (Thursday). To-morrow (Friday) is a holiday, and there would in any event be no work. In fact, the position has, we under- stand, been now defined thus-wutil the men of a.11 elapses who ceased work on Wednesday themselves go to the management- and seek employment upon terms to be agreed they may consider that there is no work for them. The omttcok is not at a.11 a oho&Hul one from any other aspect. A large meeting of the men was held near the docks on Wednesday night, with Mr. W. Cadogan presiding. Councillor John Twomey, general secretary of the Labourers' Union; Mr. H. Seer. local secretary of the Dockers' Union; and Mr. Williams, Swansea, president of the Labourers' Union, addressed the men, reviewing the position and laying emphasis upon the fact that they had taken the first trick in having driven the Free Labourers out of the town. It was decided that none of the men return to work except upon the old conditions and on the understanding that the cranemen who had been discharged would be reinstated. A deputation was appointed to dinouss the position wittb the employers. Work at Standstill. All cart-go work a-t Newport Docks depen- dent upon the use of ora-nes is at a standstill to-day as a result of yeet.erday's proceedings. The crane mea-ha-ve not rotrrrne-d to work, and, therefore, it is iiupoweibLe to hisndie cargo.

STATE SCHEíE OF INSURANCE. + ODDFELLOWS AND MR. LLOYD G lj'O L:1:' GEOHGE. CENTENARY CELEBRATION AT SOUTHAMPTON. The centenary conference of the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows was resumed in the Drill-hall. Southampton, on Wednesday, Grand Master E. Bourne « heitenhamj presid- ing The question of Stale insurance for sickness was ra-iaed on a report from the directors to the effect thait the Cha-noellor of the Ex- chequer bad not yet received the deputation at- promised, and whether any l'lt would ultimately aocrue had yet to be seen. Director Barley (.Norwich), in moving the clause, -aid their Parliamentary secretary had received a letter from the secretary to )di-. Lloyd George to the, effect that the Chancellor couid not at present say anything in regard to a Government scheme for a contributory insurance against sickness invalidity, as owing .t-o the political situation the Government were precluded from taking a.ny immediate action in the matter. Bro. Barley added that it was only rig-ht to assume tha-t Mr. Lloyd George would receive a deputation, but meanwhile they must be content to let the subject rest until they had the opportunity of hea-ring his propoija-ls un&tcad of through mysterious mediums Bro. Johnson (South London) was convinced that the directors were lightly interpreting the views of the majority <y; members of the Manchester Unity on this question. Bro. Lingattrom (North. London) did not think the directors had received the con- isideration a-t ihe h^nds ol the Chancellor of the Exchequer which that organisation demanded. He was not one of thoee who were prepa.red to swallow any State scheme which was set uip before them, neither was he pre- pared to oppose it because it was a State scheme. He oelieved they raiust, in the words of the Prime Minister, wait and M'e. The Grand Ma?ersaid the dirc<?oM did not 3.ee with Bro. Lingstjx)m tha-t they had been torea,'6ed with any want of '?T?iderH.tion by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The political situation had been so peculiar ihat they coukl hardly expect the Chancellor to receive them. The clause ivio carried. TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTION. Director R. Rtgg. in moving the eiaui°e delating to the sanatoria benefit which is now provided for members of the society suffering from consumption, said it was gratifying to announce that no leee than 80 per cent, cf the casea treated in the first stages of the disease had been cured, while no less tha.n 52 members had been discharged as their condition improved, while four mem- bers had died in the sanatoria. I Bro. Jones (Lianelly) asked that the society might acquire the exclusive use of tw-o beds in the West Wales Sanatorium m the same way as it had at various sanatoria in ling- land. It was decided to oontinue the levy of a halfpenny per member for sanatoria treat- ment. and, on the motion of Bro. Pinhorn, a resolution was passed expressing the opinion that the treatment of consumption should be considered on a national basis, and asking the Government to receive a deputation from the society on the subject. Bro. H White <South London) moved that the conference direct the attention of the lodges and districts to the proposals in the reports of the Poor-law Commweioners, and, while emphasising complete political neutra- lity, was of opinion that a.ny measures which tended to the preventing of eickneae and d- titutjon were in harmony with the principles of Oddfellowsliip. He said it wa;, their duty to see that no stigma attached to those who were brought to destitution through no fault of their own. The resolution was adopted. The conference then received deputations from the Ancient Order of Foresters, consist- ing of High ?ub-Chief Ranger Wood and Per- Tnanent Secretary J. L. Stead (Birim?ii.h=? and P.H.C.R. Roliss (Southampton^, and from the* Reehabites, consisting of High Chief j Rutei- Philipson (Xewcastle-on-Tyne) and Chief Secretary Richardson Campbell (ilan- chesten, conveying congratulations on the attainment hy the Manchester Unity of its century of existence. The Foresters presented an illuminated address, and the Becha-bites a clock for the board-room at Manchester. CENTENARY CELEBRATION*. The afternoon was occupied with the special celebrations of the centenary of theal society. The celebrations were shorn of everything in the nature of festivities, all of which were abandoned in of the death of King E-dward. Centenary jewels were pret-ented to dele- gates. The G l-and Master and directors and officials of the society, together with the 700 delegates, then walked in procession from the Drill-hall to St. Marys, the parish church of Southampton, headed by the band of the Hampshire Regiment, to attend a special thanksgiving servioe. All the dele- gates wore tlieir centenary jewels and badges. The thanksgiving service was oonduoted by the Rev. Canon Durst, vica-r, and the first lesson was read by the Grand Master of the Older. The Bishop of Winchester preached the special eermon, which was devoted to the century's work the Man- chester Unity. His lordship referred to the interest taken in their work by King Edward aud the present Sovereign. Friendly Societies, he added, had promoted a reverent and serious view of the of life, I of deepening the sense of brotherhood among men, in spreading a knowledge of the power of self-control and of the happiness that oame of a share in giving to relieve the com- mon misfortunes of human life. Their prin- ciples had told in favour of honesty, sobriety. and purity. They had favoured and promoted the cause of temperance, they had upheld a strict and searching standard of financial propriety, they had contributed to strengthen the foundation of Christian character. Born into a. world in which srickne&s, infirmity, old age, and death played too large a part. it was their Christian duty to meet the facts of daily life with courage, with knowledge, and with brotherly love.

A LADY ODDFELLOW. I I INDEPENDENT OH DEI! AND I WOMEN'S WORK. I' For the first time in the hiwtory of the Order women were represented at thea-unual Movable Conference of the National Indepen- dent Order of Oddfellows at Llangollen on Wednesday, Sister Mary Watson, of the Lady Somerset Lodge, Leeds, being the solitary lady amongst 150 delegate?. She mounted the platform ajuid loud cheers, and thanked the conference for their indication of interest in woman's claims to recognition. She repre- sented a very strong women's lodge in a large Yorkshire city, and she could vouch for the wide enthusiasm which prevailed amongst the women of Leeds in any and every organisation that made for the encourage- ment of thrift. Grand Master Andrew, on liehalf of the A.M.C. and of Oddfeilowship generally, expressed the admiration which they felt for women's work in all departments where female influence might be usefully exercised, and said he welcomed Sister Watson most 'heartily. The executive committee recommended the Order to set up a standard of solvency and compel every branch to crnne up to iL. At the present time the standaid mentioned in the rules was las. in the £ and at the last valuation it was shown that 117 lodges i failed to comply with this Memvrs had I been admitted at am inadequate scale of con- tributione, which bad made the position worse. -it was decided to stop lodges worth less than 2Cs. in the £ from accepting members on an inadequate scale, to enforce a system of valuation, and to limit the amount to be given in sick pay by lodges below 17s. 6d. in the £ line. Mr. E J. Farnworth (Prestom wa^s appointed vainer to the Ordt-r in the place of Bro. Sowerbutts (Manchester). A long discussion took place as to the proposals of the executive to deal with decay- ing lodges. It was decided to close, after giving twelve months' notice, any lodges of less than twenty members which had be* u established over five years. Pro]x>sal^ were agreed to for the amalgamation of decaying lodges, and it was decided that any lodge, irrespec- tive of size, having to discontinue payment ol sickness benefit Mloujd lie closed. The scheme cannot take, effect until the rules have been drafted by the executive committee. A matter of considerable importance came forward in a recommendation from the Harrogate District, tha-t each division should nominate, throcgh it.. districts, the names of candidates for the executive committee, to be voted fc by delegates from their own divi- i sions only. This w-tw. vigorously opposed by the Birmingham and tbe Northern delegates as tending to destroy the unity of central administration, and defeated by 69 votes to 13.
