STILL BRIGHT. ♦ OUTLOOK IN THE COALFIELD I Mediation of the Board of Trade IMPORTANT CONFERENCES I doint Conciliation Board to Meet A further conference regarding the diffi- culties in the South Wales coalfield took place at the Board of Trade offices yesterday, when Mr. F. L. Davis, Mr. D. A. Thomas, and Mr. Leonard Llewelyn were met by Mr. G. R. Askwith and Mr. Mitchell- After a long discussion upon the position from the masters' point of view and as to the conditions upon which they wished to base a settlement of the trouble, the con- ference adjourned. It was understood that Mr. Askwith would invite the men's representatives to another meeting with him. The date of that meeting will, of course, be settled after communica-I tion with the men's leaders. Delegates to Confer MEETING OF JOiNT CONCILIATION I BOARD. I The executive of the South Wales Miners Federation has acceded to the desire of the I inofficial deputation to call a conference to deal with the situation. This decision was arrived at at a meeting at the Federation offices at Cardiff yesterday, when the executive received a large deputation appointed by the unofficial conference held at the Cory-hall the previous day. Official Report I The following was the official report as issued to the press by Mr. D. Watts Morgan, the acting secretary:- A meeting of the South Wales Miners' Federation Council was held at Cardiff to- day, Mr. W. Abraham in the chair. Unfor- tunately, Mr. Alfred Onions had to be away at Bristol attending the inquiry into the accident which recently occurred there. Mr. Thomas Richards, the general secretary, was also away at Whitehaven, engaged in the Government inquiry and inquest held into the lamentable disaster which happened at that place. It was reported that Mr. Brace was expected home on Monday next. The council occupied the opening part of the morning session with a discussion of the general situation. A strong deputation. numbering over twenty, representing the un- official conference held at the Cory-hall on Tuesday, presented themselves before the council, and the position as discussed at the conference was ably put before the council by Mr. E. Fleming, Pontypridd, and Councillor Phillips, Abertillery. They pointed out that the unofficial conference had expressed a strong desire that measures should be at once taken to convene an immediate conference to discuss the ques- tions arising with regard to affairs in several districts in the coalfield and with regard to the policy to be put for- ward by the employers. They had come to the conclusion that it would be best to proceed on constitutional lines. Therefore, they were there to seriously impress upon the council that if in any way it were possible, this desire to call a conference should be met. Secondly, they asked that some form of financial assistance should be rendered to the Aberdare district, where there was so much distress prevailing at the present time. Several questions were put by council members in order to elicit how far it was proposed that the conference should proceed in the two directions indicated by the deputa- tion. In consequence of some division of opinion being shown amongst the members of the deputation themselves, they came to the conclusion that it would be better for them to retire and put into exact terms .n writing what they really wanted. They returned to the council and asked the execu- tive to convene an official conference within six days to discufs the position of affairs In the affected areas and to frame a future policy; also that support be given in some shape or form to the Aberdare men with a view of relieving the distress in the district. After a protracted discussion by the council it was unanimously agreed that a conference should be held at the Cory-hall, Cardiff, at 10.30 on Wednesday morning next; also, having regard to the acute distress prevalent in the Aberdare district, it was unanimously agreed, on the representation of the deputa- tion, that the sum of £ 2,000 be granted to the central relief committee at Aberdare, to be distributed in relief to the wives and children in the district. I The council then proceeded to frame an agenda for the conference on Wednesday next. It was unanimously agreed that an effort should be made to convene a joint board meeting bfefore the conference, with a view of again placing the whole situation before the employers, pressing upon them the views already enunciated by Mr. W. Abraham of a sincere effort being made to observe the whole of the conditions, both in the spirit and the letter, of the Conciliar tion Board agreement. The council agreed without a division that the agenda should be framed as follows:— Lodges are kindly requested to appoint delegates to attend the conference to receive reports upon the various disputes in the coalfield and to consider the policy proposed by the executive council for deal- ing with the same. Other routine business was dealt with. It was left to Mr. W. Abraham to arrange for an immediate meeting of the joint board, and it was announced at the close of the meeting that he had been successful in get- ting the secretary of the owners' side to agree to a joint board m.ing being called at 2.30 on Monday next to deal with the whole situa- tion. Alleged Intimidation SEVERAL SUMMONSES GRANTED mr. YY. ji-ensnoie (ot Messrs. C. and W. Kenshole) applied at Pontypridd yester- day for summonses against a number of men who, it was explained, were "Meged to have interfered with William 6<)t" with the view of compelling hùn. by means of intimidation, to abstain from acting as assistant manager at the Britannic Colliery, Gilfach Goch, on Tues- day, the 29th ult. Hr' £ Shole mentioned the following persons in respect of whom proceedings would be taken :-William EYans.

A further summons^ respect of alleged olence was also applied for in the case of Courtman. Mr. D. Lleufer Thomas the stipendiary) granted all the summonses, to be made returnable at Pontypridd next weeR. Praise for Police The Head-constable reported to the Cardiff Watch Committee on Wednesday that, a ithv. e urgent request Qf the Chief- constable of Glamorgan, he despatched fifty policemen to assist in preserving order in the Welsh coal strike area. Seven constables were more or less seriously injured and rendered temporarily incapaci- tated. Six of the members had now suffici- ently recovered to resume dutiee. Ca.ptain Lindsay spoke in the highest terms of the ser- vices rendered by the Cardiff police, and was anxious to retain their services until the strike was over. The Head-constable stated that before sending the men away he made an agreement with Captain Lindsay. Kelief or Distress Hr. Brabon. secretary of the Gelli Work- men's Lodge Committee, acknowledges with thanks the assistance tendered by Mr. William Mason, local representative of the board of guardians, and Mr. Harries, head schoolmaster, Gelli, in providing meals for the children whose fathers had been locked-out, also the receipt of £100 as the result of a sacred concert at the Tivoli Theatre, Pentre (kindly lent by Mr. Witi Stone), the arrangements for which were made by Mr. John Broad. As the result of entertainments at the Ton and Maindy Workmen's Institutes, L80 has been received. Sad Cases f" The Rev. Ambrose Williams, chairman of the Mid-Rhondda Central Distress Committee says they have come in contact with very Bad cases. In one they relieved a family Where there had been two deaths during the last nine days, and the whole family waa destitute. In another case five children were absolutely without food, and were obliged to Bleep on bare boards, there being no beds in the house. Musical otokers The men working at the Glamorgari Col- lieries. Llwynypia, do not leave the place day or night. The imported stokers are housed and fed on the colliery premises. With the view of making their lot as plea-- Omt-as possible owtar the circumstaoi*^ the company have provided them with a, piano, and in the evenings the men are treated to some splendid entertainments, the piano being presided over by Mr. T. E. Lewis, mechanical engireer, who is an accomplished musician. Several of the officials and men are excellent singers, and thus the evenings are very pleasantly spent. NO USEFUL PURPOSE." I Mr. Harm's Reply to Mr. Stantoni Mr. E. M. Hann has replied as follows to Mr. C. B. Stanton's last letter:— November 30, 1910. C. B. Stanton, Esq., Miners' Agent, Aberdare. Dear Sir,-I received yours of the 27th inst., but as the conditions laid down in the resolu- tion adopted by the Conciliation Board cn the 14th inst. have not been adopted, no use- ful purpose can be served by continuing this correspondence.—Yours truly, ,Signed) E. M. HANN. I Merthyr Trouble I A conference of tne various lodge com- mittees of the Merthyr Dietnct of Miners was held on Wednesday night, and it was decided to hand in notices on the 1st of January to terminate contracts at all the pits in that Particular area on account of the non-1 Unionist difficulty. Meanwhile, however, efforts will be made to bring all the i on- | Unionists into line and collect the contribu- tions of those workmen in arrears. I Strike Averted The notice given by the men employed at ¡ ?ixon*? Navigation Collieries at Merthyrt Vale 6n account of the non-Unioniet diffi- culty expired yesterday. During the Past month there have been numerous demonstrations, the loyal Federation iets having marched in :proc.sJOn to the houses of tho?e men who either stood outside the ?nion altogether or were in arrear with their contributions, and the result has been so satisfactory that instead of coming out on strike to-day, as they had intended to do if circumstances justified it, the men will con- tinue to work as if notices had not been I tendered. Pits to Be Closed I Lord Glantawe has met a deputation of the workmen of Tirdonkin Collieries, near Swansea, of which he is principal proprietor, ¡ and informed them that, owing to the present condition of things at the colliery and the heavy royalties payable, it was imperative on the management to close down. It had been intended to tender notices on Monday last, but, considering the time, of the year and the hardships likely to be involved to workmen, notices would be postponed to January 1. In the meantime overtures would be made to the royalty owner for concessions. MR. STANTON'S REPLY I Interviewed this morning upon the contents ¡ of Mr. E. M. Hann's letter, Mr. Stanton said:— I quite agree that there is not much use I in carrying on such correspondence. Mr. Hann has had all that he can get out of me, as I have given him all that is reasonable, and I can go no further. "We will, however, yet win. "My attention is, of course, very much divided now. but our people are not on their knees, and they will not go if I can help it. "In spite of my contest in East Glamorgan, my first attention shall be given to the men." Police and Public I To the Editor of the Evening Express. Sir,-As I was going home on Monday, the 21st of November, after finishing my work as one of the staff at the Theatre BoyaJ, Tonypandy, and every- thing was quiet, for the rioting had finished, I got as far as Trealaw Bridge, when a London policeman came on to me and asked me where I was going and where I was work- ing I told him that I was working in Porth, and that I was going home, as I had just finished my work at the theatre. He then hit me on the head twice and knocked me down, kicked me when I was on the ground, and then told me to get up and go home. When I got up he shouted to the other police who were by the station, and they watched me coming down. Altogether I was knocked to the ground six times with their fists in a distance of about 120 vards.—I am, Ac., am. &c., FRED STEVENS. I 121. Rhys-street. Trealaw, Rhondda.

I ACTRESS AWARDED P.300 1 Miss Carola Taylor, at one time appearing at the Gaiety in "Our Miss Gibbs," was in the King's Bench Division yesterday awarded £ 300 damages and costs against the Auto- mobiles de Luxe, Limited, of Islington, for personal injuries. The plaintiff accom- panied her brother to Brighton in one of the defendant company's cars, driven by one of the company's chauffeurs. On the way back the man seemed in a hury to get home, for, in spite of plaintiff's request, he drove at a great pace. and upset the car and its occupants in the ditch. Miss Taylor was severely injured about the face. her health was impaired, and her stage career ruined.

KING EDWARD'S TERRIER I A white, furry representation of ^Caesar, the late King Edward's favourite terrier, as a child's basinette rug is amongst this year's Christmas novelties appearing in West End shops. The rug is a.bout 2ft. 6in. long, made of imitation white fur, and is fitted with a life-like modelled head of Caesar. Attached is a small metal label bearing the words, I am Caesar." Close to the head is a snug little pocket, in which childish hands can be kept perfectly warm during winter outings in perambulators.
POSITION REVERSED
POSITION REVERSED To-day the middle-class inan spends con- siderably less than his wife on clothes. It was otherwise in the eighteenth century, when more things were required by a man. His black suit, for business wear, cost at least 95, and his coloured suits probably half as much again. Every man who wished to appear respectable had five or six hats, costing not less than 11 apiece. He required silk stockings, woollen stockings, and "skin" stocking, and half a dozen different kinds of boots and shoes. Wigs were an expensive item, and few men shaved them- eelves, so the barber secured a good many pounds from him in the course of the year.

TRUNK HORROR
TRUNK HORROR I Nude Body Discovered on a Bridge I MURDERER'S ESCAPE I After Wheeling Corpse Four Miles I French amateur and professional detective? are supplied with a tangled skein to unravel by a discovery made late on Sunday even- ing at the little town of Ponts-de-Ce, on th'e Loire, a. few miles from Angers. Two soldiers on their way back to barracks found on the Dumnacus-bridge. against the parapet, the nude and horribly-mutilated body of a man. A few seconds before mak- ing this discovery they had stumbled against a small handbarrow, while between the barrow and the corpse they passed a, man wearing a heavy cloak and a hood that covered the top of his face. This individual is presumed to be the murderer. He has not been arrested. Deed Witnessed by a Child, The inquiries made by the police have enabled them to trace the path of the man with the barrow from Angers to the spot where the body was found. A warrant has been issued for his arrest, but in all proba- bility he left the neighbourhood before the hue and cry was raised. The presumed assassin is a man named Delhumeau, a horse dealer, living with a woman named Marguerite Maillaud, who has been arrested. The Woman's child, a little girl of two and a half years, was probably a witness of the deed. Awful Mutilation. j The victim, whose identity has not been established .was apparently murdered at Delhumeau's house, and the assassin then mutilated the head with a view to rendering the victim unrecognisable, sawed through the legs in order to get the body into a trunk, placed the trunk on a barrow, and set off through the streets of Angers, along the high road to Ponts-de-Ce, and was there prevented by the arrival of the two soldiers from con- cluding his work by throwing the body into the Loire. I Shaved the Victim. After the murder the victim's face appears to have been carefully shaved, and the spot where it was found is seven kilometres (nearly four and a half miles) from Delhu- meau's house. This distance, through a dis- trict, where a fair was in progress, he is pre- sumed to have walked with his barrow and its horrible load. Three times on the way he appears to have stopped at wineshops to drink. After the discovery of the body an attempt was made to arrest him, but he got away in the darkness after firing his revolver at a journalist who endeavoured to stop him. A blood-stained hatchet has been found at Delhumeau's house, also more bloodstains on the floor, and yet more blood on the shaving brush and razor. I A Banker P Who is the victim? This is a point that has so far baffled the police as completely as that of the whereabouts of Delhumeau. The latter had a second domicile in Up-street, Jersey, and one theory is that the dead man is a banker of that place with whom Del- humeau was in relations. At thef house a number of garments have been discovered bearing the marks of Eng- lish firms. These include a pair of brown boots, a hat, and a well-cut coat, which do not appear to have been the property of Del- I humeau, and are, perhaps, thosfc worn by the victim. I Loaded Revolver. A letter that arrived at Delhumeau's house on Tuesday, addressed to the woman, con- tained a time-table of the service between the Chaiinel Islands and the coast of France. This letter was posted at St. Malo. The doctor who held the autopsy concludes that death was caused by a blow struck i from behind with a blunt instrument. The knife wounds were inflicted afterwards, and an attempt made to cut off the head and the legs below the knees. Delhumeau's record is bad. He has been in prison several times for fraud and steal- ing. No less than three revolvers have been found in the house, two fully loaded and the third containing fwe charges only.

I" Saved by Wireless" I I HERO AND CINEMATOGRAPH COMPANY I I [By MABCONIGBAM.] The following message was received from the liner Adriatic by wireless yesterday:— Presiding Judge Fitzgerald, in the Appelate Division of the Supreme Court, New Yorl. State, supported by four Associate judges, delivered their judgment on Monday uphold- ing the decision awarded by the Supreme Court in March lost to Mr. Jack R. Binns, the wireless telegraph hero, of the steamship Republic, which granted him an injunction, restraining the Vitagraph Company of America, its employes and licensees, from displaying, advertising or circulating a series of moving pictures entitled "Q. Dd," or "Saved by Wireless," wherein appears Binn's picture and name. The judges ordered the case to go before a jury to settle, the amount of damages recoverable by Binns, or injuries sustained by the ilegal use by appellant of his name and picture. Mr. Binns, who is aboard the White Star liner Adriatic, is hurrying to New York in order to aittend and give evidence at. the jury trial, he having received a transatlantic wire- less message advising him of the judgment given in his favour and requesting his attendance. In an interview, Mr. Binns said he was delighted with the verdict, as it would clear him in the eyes of the people.—Exchange Telegraph Company.
ISKIPPER AND -SEAMAN
I SKIPPER AND SEAMAN James Morane (46) was charged at Cardiff to-day with being disorderly and making use of bad language, and also with assaulting John Johnson in Bute-street. Polioe-constable Oswald Craddock deposed that on yesterday afternoon he saw prisoner go up to Johnson, who is the captain of the steamer Madgeberg, and deliberately strike him on the back of the neck. The captain fell, and in the fall his right eye was badly discoloured. Prisoner had refused to perform his duty on board and was put ashore, and another man engaged in his place. It transpired that the Magdeberg went to sea last night, and the captain was not in court. Accused alleged that "the skipper started the bother," assault- ing him at the Mount Stuart Hotel. The Bench gave prisoner the benefit of the captain's absence, an ddischarged him.

I THE GLOVE DIFFICULTY The only way to get over the difficulty of the unused right-hand glove would be to wear fishermen's knitted gloves, which are undivided except for the thumbs, and may be used for either hand.

Deep-sea fishermen swear by them, and we put similar gloves on the tiny hands of infants who are too young to undergo the torture of the ordinary lingered glove.— "Daily Chronicle."

An Election Issue j A morning contemporary says that a can- vasser called at a house in Huli :e and: explaining his mission to the woman who opened the door, asked to see the house-, holder. My husband's asleep, and I daren't wake him. But there's been another gentle- man before you. and my husband told him he was voting for the other side as a protest I against the taxicabs." "What is your husband?" the canvasser asked. II "A cabdriver!" was the reply. No Longer the Last There is unlikely to be a contest in the Orkney and Shetlands, and Mr. Cathcart Wason will, therefore, escape from the posi- tion of being the last member to be returned to the House of Commons. The nominations will take place on the 14th. Should there be an opponent polling will take place on December 27 and 28, and, unless a special steamer were chartered it would then be impossible to collect the ballot boxes before January 2. Practice of Canvassing The barring of the canvass is not confined to Macaulay. Peasant and lord may have the same conscientious objection to its wiles. Joseph Arch had this objection: "There was one point on which I stood from the start, and that was No canvassing, declared Arch. I do not wish it. I regard the vote as a sacred trust, and I disdain, to extract by means of a canvass that which the law directs is to be done in secret. Canvassing is,, in my opinion, a mean subterfuge. Its object is to get a man's vote in an indirect way, and I shall steer clear of it." Winston Jekyll and Churchill Hyde The Right Hon. Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, P.C., M.P., is a man of many parts and many parts and many enemies. Personal popularity waS" not his lot at Harrow or in the Army. and is not enjoyed by him even on his own side in Parliament. One remembers, too, the answer of the Con- servative agent in the Manchester bye-elec- tion of 1908 to the question, "Why haven't you canvassed the Midland Hotel ?" No need," he said, "Winston himself is staying there." How untowardly genial and hail- fellow-well-met he has been found to be by numerous callers and chance acquaintances! At other times e seems possessed of a demon of unreasoning rudeness and insolence. He can rise to heights &I statesmanship, but he often sinks to depths of Yankee "smartness." When his American side is uppermost he does things repellent to English ideas (,f sportsmanship. When England is on top he is the type of English aristocrat that Americans most dislike.—"N. W.

5,000 People Trapped !,
5,000 People Trapped I SERIOUS FLOODS IN FRANCE j PARIS, Thursday. The Seine is still rising slowly, but per- ceptibly. The situation in the provinces has gone from bad to worse, and at Nantes and Tours the rise of the Loire has brought wholesale damage. Three thousand work- people have been thrown idle in the former town, while at Tours many streets are com- pletely inundated. The position at Angers is very grave. The flood has already passed the level of this year's previous visitation, and, as was feared, the Nontjeau Dyke has given way. The quays are submerged, and the river water, pouring into the roadways, has reached as far as khe Saint Serge Railway Station. The electric power station has been thrown out of operation, and the electric cars are standing abandoned on the tracks. In the lower parts of the town some 5,303 people are trapped in their houses. Reports almost as serious are reaching Paris from other departments. In Correze, for instance, several small villages have been flooded out. At Montwalent there ha-s been a wash-out. on the railway connecting Paris with Toulouse, and trains cannot get through. Motor 'buses are being used to carry on the service over this particular section. The Rivers Gardon and Isere are in flood, and are causing an alarming rise of the Rhone, while the Cere is also threatening. Continued storms are reported from the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts.—Central News.

He suggested that the Government should give a subsidy of some 110 a horse per year to those firms using horses suitable for artillery purposes. A reso- lution to try and secure such a registration fee or subsidy was carried.

Fight with Lioness - I
Fight with Lioness TERRIBLE CIRCUS SCENE I BERLIN, Wednesday. A terrible scene caused a panic among the audience at Johnstone's travelling circus, which is visiting Berlin. A typical Sunday crowd had filled the tent to witness a performance, the chief feature of which was announced as a "wrestling match" between an animal-trainer named Myer and an Abyssinian lioness, but it; speedily became apparent -that the latter was dangerously ferocious. The lioness, it appears, had not been long in captivity, and, further, bad weather had necessitated the abandonment of all per- formances for a fortnight previously, which facts accounted largely for her intractability. Myer had only just entered the cage when the animal sprang upon him. The whip with which he defended himself only infuri- ated her the more, and knocking him down she began to tear his face and neck. At onec there began a wild stampede for the exits, in which many were trampled upon and injured, and but for the fact that somebody tore a large opening in the tent canvas fatalities would probably have occurred. Meanwhile, a lady trainer, who happened to have been in the crowd, seized a hot iron from one of the attendants and bravely rushed into the cage to Myer's assistance, helping to carry him out, but he had been so terribly injured that he is not likely to recover. The police closed the circus for an hour, after which they permitted it to re-open on condition that such performances should be deleted from the programme.—Central News.
"Until Death Doth Part" -…
"Until Death Doth Part" i SCOTCH IDEA OF MARRiAGE I The Divorce Commission resumed its I sittings on Wednesday at Winchester House, under the presidency of Lord Gorell. The Rev. Pearson McAdam Muir, D.D., minister of Glasgow Cathedral and modera- tor of the General Assembly of the Church of. Scotland, said he had been 40 years a clergyman 01 the Church of Scotland, and a remarkable thing was how very seldom in all those years the subject of divorce had been mentioned, and how seldom any case of divorce had happened among his parishoners. Everywhere he had found respect for marriage. The idea that in Scotland marriage was more lightly esteemed than elsewhere was in Hat contradiction to all his observations. "In my childhood," he said, I used to "accompany my father when he was officiating at weddings, and nothing on those occasions impressed me more than the solemn manner in which some such phrase as until you are separated by death was used. The uni- versal feeling is that death alone is to dis- solve the union." MUST HAVE A MINISTER. A weddmg was not considered as perfectly respectable unless it was performed by a minister The fact that in Scotland the mere acknowledgment of each other before witnesses as man and wife con- stituted a legal union made it remarkable that such marriages were exceedingly uncommon. There was a growing feeling that, while divorce should be made difficult for every class, it ought not to be made easier for the rich than for the poor to obtain it. Mr. Christopher N. Johnson. K.C., sheriff principal of the county of Perth and stand- ing counsel and legal assessor of the Church of Scotland, explained that the most impor- tant difference between the divorce law of England and that of Scotland was the recog- nition of desertion as a ground of divorce in I Scotland. He was, he continued, opposed to all other extensions of the grounds for divorce. The only grounds in Scotland were misconduct and desertion. u POSITIVIST'S VIEWS. ?__ Aur. Frederic Harrison, wno was president of the Positivist Society for a number of years and author of several works on the marriage law, was the next witness. He said that the State had the highest interest in maintaining a uniform public, simple form of lawful marriage. Property, family rights, personal duties and liabilities all hung together on that institution. The State should not abdicate its duty of recording this legal act and suffer various religious bodies to keep these all important registers. To a large majority of Englishmen and to almost all Englishwomen marriage seemed to demand a religious sanction of some kind over and above the legal sanction by the State. The religious sanction must be left purely voluntary, at the discretion of the parties. To allow the religious rite to con- stitute or in any way to affect or modify the legal rite was to breed confusion and strife. Mr. Isaac Sharp, of the Society of Friends, submitted a memorial from the members of the society in Great Britain advocating the equality of both sexes in connection with the divorce laws. In reply to the chairman, he said that divorce and breach of promise were practically unknown among the Society of Friends. Mr. William Hill, secretary of the English Church Union, and the Rev. E. Wood, proctor Convocation for the Diocese of Ely, both held that marriage was a Divine institution and I indissoluble. The Commission was again adjourned.

I TROUSERS RECOGNISED I I James Davies. collier, of Abertillery, was brought from Usk Gaol, where he is under- going a term of three months, to Aber- gavenny on Wednesday to answer a charge of stealing a pair of trousers, vest, stockings, and a watch and chain, the property of John Arthur Perrin. The latter stated that he was lodging in Victoria-street, and pri- soner was sleeping in the same room as him- self. The arScles were taken while witness was at work. Police-sergeant Prosser stated that while taking another defendant to Usk he saw prisoner in custody on another charge, and recognised the trousers. He taxed prisoner with the theft, which the latter admitted. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to three months' hard labour, to follow the present term.

Council Uproar MAYOR SENDS FOR THE POLICE Mr A A Purcell, the Socialist candidate for West Salford. was responsible for a. remarkable incident at yesterday's meeting of the town council of that town, of which he is a. member. A discussion was taking place on the question of penny-in-the-slot gas-meters, and a councillor made a statement which Mr, Purcell challenged. "It's a lie," he cried, rising to his feet The Mayor (Mr. PhiUips) Mr. Purcell. you must withdraw that language. Mr. Purcell: 'I withdraw nothing. The Mayor: Then I must ask you to leave the council chamber. Mr. Purcell I shall do neither. The Mayor: Then I must send for the chief constable. The chief "0Thc.a.ble I Mr. O. V. Godfrey I was Eummoned and entered the council chamber with Inspector Johnson. In vain Mr. Purcell's friends and all parties advised him to withdraw, and finally the mayor in- structed the chief constable to remove him. At first Mr. Purcell offered some resistance, but better counsels prevailed, and he finally left the chamber

Royalty and Racing I
Royalty and Racing I KING & QUEEN TO ATTEND THE DERBY I If all is well, the King and Queen will be present at Epsom Races on the Derby and Oaks days, and the arrangements for the visit of the Court to Ascot will be the same aq during the past reign. It is very likely 'says "Truth") that the King will attend Goodwood Races on three days of the meet-?, ing, and in the autumn His Majesty may be &een at Newmarket during either the Second October or the Houghton Meeting. I have seen an announcement that the King hopes to attend the summer meeting at Newbury, but this is clearly a mistake. This meeting is fixed for Moo day and Tues- day in the Coronation week, days on which the King will be overwhelmed with both public and private engagements in London. The proper days for Nowb-lry are Tuesday and Wednesday in the week after Ascot, but the meeting was brought forrd when the list of fixtures was settled last summer, because it was then expected that the Coro- nation would take place ou Wednesday, June 21. As matters stan-U, Wednesday and Thurs- day (Coronation Day) in that week are both blank exoept for the Newcastle fixture.
THE REFERENDUMi
THE REFERENDUM Mr. F. E. Smith, speaking at Liverpool on Wednesday night. said Mr. T. P. O'Connor had been good enough to make some obser- vations about him of not a very polite cha- racter. (Laughter.) He took no offence at any- thing Mr. O'Connor said about him, because although as a politician he wished to destroy our dukes, as a journalist he was entirely dependent upon our duchesses. (Laughter and cheers.) He had said about Mr. O'Con- nor before that he would sell every single Catholic school in Liverpool for the sake of a housemaid's little tattle about a lady of title—(laughter and cheers)—and this was one of the democrats who were going to sweep away the House of Lords. On the Constitutional question, he proceeded. a very interesting transformation of opinion had taken place. Not very long ago their opponents were saying that what we wanted was government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Now they were running away from the people. (Laughter and cheers.) They were afraid of the referendum to the people. (Hear, hear.) On the high authority of Lord Lindley, the Veto Bill would not give the people the rule, but it would give uncontrolled rule by the House of Commons. Speaking for himself, in the interests of democracy he would fight 1 the Veto Bill as long as he had a seat in the House of Commons. Speaking of Home Rule, he said the quarrel was the same, the enemy the same, and the end would be the same as in 1886. (Cheers.) He noticed in the papers with little surprise that the loyal Ulster Council had de&nitely and formally stated that they would never pay taxes to a Home Rule Parliament. He was a law-abiding citizen, but he could not find it within him to use language of censure at the expense of men whose only fault was i that they had always been loyal to this country. (Cheers.)

Feather Fanciers
Feather Fanciers GOOD ENTRY AT CARDIFF BIRD SHOW I The fourteenth annual show of the Cardiff and District Cage Bird Society was opened on Wednesday at the Cory-hall by Lord Ninian Stuart, who was accompanied by Lady Ninian Stuart. Lord Ninian remarked that the excellent selection of birds exhibited quite surprised I him. He never knew till that day that bird fanciers were so strong in number, and that they spent so much time and money on their hobby. He congratulated the show executive on their splendid exhibition, and wished them a continuance of the success which ranked the Cardiff Show amongst the best in the kingdom. Lady Ninian. responding to a unanimous call for Speech," said she was well in touch with birds, for in her travels abroad she had kept macaws, parrots, and numerous other birds of bright plumage. She congratulated the officials upon their excellent exhibition, and wished the society every success. A vote of thanks to Lord and Lady Ninian was proposed by Mr. T. H. Melhuish, one of the oldest fanciers in Cardiff, and, after being supported by Mr. Fred W. Blower and others, was carried with acclamation. Lord and Lady Ninian afterwards inspected the exhibits. This year's exhibition is one of the best held under the auspices of the society, the quality remhing a very high standard, while the 760 entries are only a few short of the record. The Yorkshire, Norwich, and British finches were strong classes, whilst the crests and crest-breds were also a couple of splendid classes. Other classes for British and foreign birds were also filled well, and com- petition for honours was keen. The judges were Messrs. J. H. Payne (Gloucester) and W. H. Battye (Huddersfield), and the show arrangements were admirably carried out by Mr. A. Sheilum (chairman), assisted by a strong committee and Mr. J. W Dummett, hon. secretary.

-ST. ANDREWS NIGHT
-ST. ANDREWS NIGHT Cardiff Scots made merry on Wednesday night at the Park Hotel, when, like brither Scots all over the world, they celebrated St. Andrew's nicht. There was an attendance of about 160. including many well known English, Welsh, and Irish residents of the city. When the chef brought in the baggis, preceded by the piper, according to time- honoured custom, all joined in the merri- ment. irrespective of race. Mr. W. W. Hood. president for the year, occupied the chair. Mr. J. Macaulay, Newport, proposed the toart of The Cardiff Caledonian Society." Having paid a tribute to the good work done for Cardiff by the Bute family, Mr. Macau- lay said that they, as Scotsmen, must taka care that those strong ideals pursued by their forefathers must be upheld by themselves. Mr. W. McKenzie, chief-constable, in response, said the excellent report of their secretary (Mr. T. Balmer) showed that no less an amount than LWB was expended in charity last year. They would hardly believe it, but they had even sent some of their fellow- countrymen back to Scotland. (Laughter and cheers.) Just as Dr. W. Taylor. J.P., had concluded proposing the toast of The City and Trade of Cardiff," Lord Ninian Stuart entered the room, led by the piper, and to the accompani- ment of loud and prolonged cheering. There followed a hearty rendering of For he's av jolly good fellow." The Lord Mayor (Alderman C. H. Bird), in responding to the toast, said when he 88.. the men about him who had contributed to the progress of Cardiff he was full of hope for the future. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Minor Canon Clarke proposed Kindred Societies," and Dr. R. Prichard, representing the Cymmrodorion Society, responded. Lord Ninian Stuart, speaking as a. past < president of the Caledonian Society, gave the toast of The Visitors." Their society, he said, had no consideration of creed, no consideration of politics; its only oonsidera.- tion was to promote the welfare of those of their fellow-countrymen who had fallen below the stratum of what was called com- fort in this country, but in any other country might be called misfortune. He congratulated them on the enormous sub- scription they had received that night towards the objects of their society, and he congratulated them on having so many visi- tors that night to partake in the joys of their society. The subscriptions given that night he had no doubt would in the near future be properly and well expended by their friend, the chief-constable. Dr. R. J. Smith responded, and Mr. T. M. Heywood proposed The Chairman."
