Towards eight o'clock a, large crowd assembled outside the polling-station, and it was evident that the majority were hostile to Mr. Cummins, the Independent candidate, and one of the latter's supporters was roughly handled. Mr. Cummins and his friend were also set upon, the candidate being ra,ther badly kicked. The two gentlemen took refuge in a house, and they were still there at a late hour, a large crowd remaining outside. I Eggs, Apples and Kippers I Extraordinary scenes occurred towards the close of the poll at Repton in South Derby- shire on Tuesday. The boys of Repton School, numbering about 300, are alleged to have attacked the Liberal committeti- room, smashed the windows, and bespattered the doors with eggs, apples, kippers, stones, and potatoes. For nearly three-quarters of an hour the village was in possession of the boys, the masters and police being power- less to allay the tumult. I Gower Polling. I Polling opened in the Gower Division to-day under depressing conditions. The colistd- I tuency is a very extensive one, and the heavy rain that fell during the night and early hours of the morning has left the roads in a bad state.

Scotland Scared ———- ——— 'QUAKE SHOCK AND BURGLAR HUNT A severe shock of earthquake wae felt over a large area of Glasgow and neighbourhood laet night, and created considerable alarm. Buildings and houses shook per- ceptibly. bells were sounded, and crockery and other household utensils rattled en shelves. The seismic disturbance lvus expe- I rienced. about nine o'clock and afiwiexi all the north side of the city, being felt most acutely in the residential suburbs in higher portion of the city. The effect was most pronounced in the telephone exchange, where the female operators were greatly alarmed. Later particulars gleaned to-day show that the earthquaqe was much more vnrieepread and more severe than WEL" origina.lly reported. Two distinct disturbances took place and were felt perceptibly all over the city. Fortunately no personal injuries I resulted. I Supposed Burglars. Caretakers in all the principal tiank, formed the impression that safes had been exploded, and at the Anderston branch of the Glasgow Savings Bank the police were hastily summoned to invetigate what was thought a mystery. A crowd of fully 1.000 persons blocked the street in front of the watching officers hunting for supposed burb- lars. At the British Linen Bank the shock forced open the boiler door of the ehating apparatus and at the Central Police Office the noise resembled a heavv train passing over a bridge. In restaurants diners were great.ly alarmed. Glassee rattled ominously, while pictures were observed to mave. At Govan tenements were so severely shaken tha.t the inhabitants were a.1 raid to re-enter their homes for nearly an hour. In Glasgow chairs moved, glasses rattled,' windows shook, and bells rang.

MAYOR OF NEWPORT'S GIFT The Mayor of Newport (Mr. J. Jr. Williams) on Wednesday sent a cheque for L25 to the [Infantile Health Committee, and another for Clgo to the committee of the Newport [Showing Carnival.

Strikers' Grim Demand PROCESSION IN PONTYPRIDD I I Leaders' Entreaty I DEFENDANTS REGARDED AS HEROES One of the meet remarkable demonstrations witnessed in the Rhondda was held yes- terday morning, when over 10.000 strikers marched to Pontypridd as a protest against the tsummonses against Gilfach Goch men for alleged intimidation under the Conepiracy Act. At Pontypridd a ma,;s meeting was held around the historic Rocking-stoue, under the presidency of Mr. Noah Rees. Mr. Rees apologised for the absence oi Mr. C. B. Stan- ton and Mr. D. Watts Morgan, who, he said, were engaged at the conference in Cardiff. He then appealed to the men t-uoonduct therwelves in an orderly manner, pointing out that the military arid police were I (Stationed in some considerable force at Pontypridd, and stating that any aggressive policy would be suicidal. Mr. Jack Rees followed, and he also enjoined the men not to commit any act of violence, which would be futile and would do more harm than good to the cause. I "Rush the Escort I Eneuing speakers severely criticised the Federation leaders. A Gilfach l-ioch repre- sentative demanded to know what they were doing at the Rocking-stone. Vv hat good would that do the men who were being tried in the court y he asked. He proceeded to 6a.y that their place Warl outside the police-court, and 111 the event of the men being sent to prison they should rush the escort and free their comrades. The younger members of the huge crowd assented, cries were raised To the court," and a, large number immediately left the spot and prooeeded to move down towards the street. Again the chairman appealed to the men to refrain from any act of violence. "You are afraid," cried a voice. "He's showing the white feather," said another. No," answered Mr. Roes, but I see that no good can accrue if you persist. I do not want to see any more bandaged heads in llid-Shondda." Notwithstanding *his entreaty, consider- ably more than half of the crowd left the ipot, but the older men remained. I Message to the Conference Mr. John Hughes added his entreaty to the appeals of the chairman, and advocated a passive resistance. lie moved a resolution that they send a message to the conference sitting at Cardiff stating that they were not prepared to return tc work under any con- ditions, in the event of the men being sent to prison until those men were set frell j This mat with the approval of the remain- ing men, and the resolution was carried unanimously, the secretary (Mr. Ha.rcombe) being instructed to forward the telegram. A further resolution, moved at the sugges- tion of the Chairman, that they conduct themselves in an orderly manner was also carried, and the men dispersed, walking towards the town. A large crowd awaited the conclusion of the police-court proceedings. When the defendants left the court they were sur- rounded by hundreds of their fellow-strikers. Courtman, whose rase was the only one in which the evidence for the prosecution had been concluded, was carried shoulder-high from the court to Mill-street, where the procession homewards was re-formed.

Strikers Accused I MORE SUMMONSES HEARD The hearing of the summonses against thirteen persons in connection with the recent disturbances at Gilfach Goch, was resumed at Pontypridd Police-court this afternoon. Charles Courtman, Charles Franklyn, Henry Handley, and Charles Lucas were charged on two counts with using violence and intimi- dating William Gould, assistant manager at the Britannic Colliery, while the following ware charged on the one count of intimi- dating the same person:—William Evans, Edward Williams, .John Nicholas, Henry Scourfield, John Cox, William Langford, Albert Oaten, Albert Cooper, and Daniel Gregory. Mr. C. Kenshole appeared for the prosecu- tion, and Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C. (instructed by Mr. A. T. James), defended. Mr. Lucas, the miners' agent, represented the Miners' Federation. Yesterday the case of Charles Courtman and Henry Handley were commenced, and the defence was reserved until the other cases had been heard. In Hundley's case, PoJiee-serpeant George said that he heard the defendant remarking Now, boys, let's go on.; let us kill the Defendant. suiting the action to the words, rushed on and struck Gould on the back of the neck. Witness pulied him on one side, and the defendant continued to shout and surear, and then picked up a brick. Witness requested him to put the brick, down, and one of the defendant's friends intervened, remarking, "Don't throw stones; you don't know whom you will hit." Defendant then dropped the brick.—Cross-examined: Witness emphatically contradicted the suggestion that Handley remained at a distance during the dis- turbance. Police-constable Williams and others gave formal corroborative evidence, and denied tha,t there could be any mistake as to defen- dant's identification, and added that there were threats couched in such expressions as. We will have him; we will kill the and see that he does not return to work again." The court then adjourned until noon to-day (Thursday).

THE WORKHOUSE MUTINY Police-court Proceedings The eighty-six inmates arrested were to-day brought up at button charged with being concerned in refusing to conform to the regulations of the workhouse, and with doing wilful damage to the extent of £2 10s. One of the men, named Jeffrey, was further charged with assaulting Labour Master Swan, and another. named O'Brien, with assaulting Labour Master Rylance. Mr. Higgins, the workhouse master stated that about 3SG men refused to eat the food provided, and made a great disturbance. Later they refused to retire to I",)St- and when the officials entered the room they were pelted with plates. Police went to the officials assistance, and the hall was cleaj-ed. A quantity of crockery was daD1agEK1. Answering the Bench, the witness said the men objected to so much porridge. Labour Master Rylance corroborated, and said O'Brien assaulted him. O'Brien: You and the master have com- mitted perjury. Labour Master Swan stated that one of his teeth was knocked out by Jeffrey. ilr. William Alexander White, a, member of the Fulham Board of Guardians, who was present at the disturbance, said one man urged tho others to demand bread and Puttier. They had previously warned the nolice because the men had knives, and it had been said there would be bloodshed before. Polico-inspector Sorumervhill stated that some of the men 12acl knives, and assumed a. threatening attitude. The police had to draw their truncheons, and when reinforce- ments arrived eighty-six. were arrested. Both Jeffrey õtnù O'Brien were committed for trial. LA report of mutiny will be found on t ———

LIKELY TO RESUME — ■' — Position of Aberdare Miners MR. STANTON'S SUGGESTIONS I I DEPUTATIONS TO COLLIERIES Fully ten thousand workmen attended the mass meeting of the Aberdare miners, which was held at the Market-hall to-day, for the purpose of reoeiving the report from the delegates who were present at the conference a.t Caxdiff yesterday. The grea,tost excitement prevailed, and the result was awaited with keen anxiety throughout the district, in view of the recommendation of the executive coun- cil that work should be resumed forthwith. and by the recent decision of the workmen's conference last week to abide by the issue of Wednesday's meeting. Mr. ] -aac Griffiths presided- Mr. Noah Tromans submitted a report of yesterday's conference. I Mr. Stanton's Suggestion. Mr. C. B. Stantoon said be was in no way discouraged as the result of Ea-st Glamorgan ejection, but he hoped some member of Par- li&ment would bring before the House the question of the minimum wage. Dealing with the local situa-don he suggested that a de-pu- tation, including himself, should meet Mr. E. M. Hann in order to find out whet.her he would be prepared to go into the alleged grievances, and to ascertain whether Mr. Hann was willing to reinstate all tfiose men whose working places were available. Mr. Stanton explained that any workman who could not restart because his place had fallen in would be financially supported the Federa- tion. Should any victimisation be carried on. however, he hoped that all the workmen would stand loyal pending the extinction of any such practice. He would further sng- gest that he should approach, over the tele- phone, the other colliery companies in the district with a view of finding out wL* her I they would re-engage aJl the workmen it was possible w re-engage. I Workmen's Deoutation. Eventually the following resolution was put to the meeting:— That the workmen's committees of the various collieries should each send at. depu- tation to the different companies with a view of ascertaining whether they would agree to an immediate resumption of work, and whether they would be pi-epared to reinstate all those workmen whose places admitted of a re-start, the various deputa- tions to submit their respective reports to a meeting of the joint committee to he held this (Thursday) evening. The resolution was very adversely criticised, a.nd those who spoke against it were heckled by a section of the audience. Ultimately Mr. Stanton intervened, and expressed the opinion that it would be useless to prolong the discussion under the circum- stances, and he added that the resolution should be dealt with at another mass meet- ing of the men which will be held to-morrow morning. 1 Resumption Probable. I have no doubt (telephones our Aberdare representative) that the different companies will offer no objection to an immediate re- engagement of all the men whose working places are in a proper condition. In my opinion, the great barrier has been removed, at any rate so far as the Cwmaman, Owm- dare, and Blaeyiant workmen art, oonoerned, and in all probability steps will be taken between now and Saturday with a view of a resumption of work taking place on Mon- s for the Powell Duffryn Collieries I have reason to believe that Mr. E. M. Hann will agree to the wishes of the deputation, and that operations will be recommenced at I those collieries next Monday.

I No Plenary Powers NAVAL MEN AND THEIR DEPUTATION I A meeting of the Naval workmen was to have been held at the Empire, Tonyp&ndy. to-day, to decide as to whether plenary powers should be granted to the deputation which meets Mr. A&kwith on Saturday at Cardiff. Mr. Tom Richards, Mr. Alfred Onions. Mr. E. Morrell, and Mr. D. Watts Morgan were to have been present, but owing to the adjourn- ment of tthe police-court in postponing the case of the Gilfach Goch men who had been summoned, it was decided at an informal meeting in the Butchers' Arms-square to adjourn to some future date. The men, however, were asked if they were prepared to grant plenary powe-, to the deputation, and by a decisive majority they were refused. The Strikers' Joke ¡ Hereaboute. the crowd were augmented by striked from Gilfach Gooh, who had marched over the mountain, and prominent in the pro- cession was an effigy on horseback, which caused great fun. It was held to represent Mr. Leonard Llewelyn, and was doool with tin medals and a card on whicfc was printed, "For saving the bonw. u of

The "Waratah" Mystery BOARD OF TRADE INQUIRY I A Board of Trade inquiry into the dis- appearance of the liner Waratah was opened at Caxton Hall to-day before Mr. John ) Dickinson, one' of the Metropolitan magis- trates sitting as a commissioner. With him as assessors were Professor Walsh. Com- mander F. A. Lyon, R.N.R., and Mr. Halett. The liner, which belonged to the Blue Anchor line (Messrs. Lunds) was last heard of on July 27 last year, since when no trace of the ship or wreckage has been seen. ,e has been seen. Her last port of call ell route from Australia was Durban, and her next port of call would have been Capetown. There were 300 souls on board, passengers and crew. Mr. Laing K.C. and Mr. Raeburn appeared for th'e Board of Trade, Mr. Butler Aspenal), K.C. and Mr Cra-ig Henderson represented the builders (Messrs. Barclay, Curie and Co., of Whiteinch. Glasgow), and Mr. Leslie K.C. and Mr. Stephens were counsel for the owners. Mr. Bucknall represented the rela- tives of certain passengers, including Dr. Carrick, a South African mining expert, who was drowned. I Top Heavy." I Mr. Laing, opening the case, said there were 92 passengers and lj9 of the crew on board the Waratah, and the case was one of very great public importance. The Waratah was a new vessel and was on her second voyage. She possessed every certifi- cate for fitne-ss which a vessel could have, and her disappearance had caused great consternation. AI sorts of theories had been proposed to account for her loss, and various allegations had been bandier about in the press as to the condition of the ship. It was said that her insurance was very I heavy, and that the vessel had proved to be top heavy, and had behaved in an extra- ordinary way on her first voyage. It wp., said that the master had threatened to leave. and it was said that the chief engineer did leave because the vessel was top heavy. The question was also raised in the House of Commons, where it was said she had also behaved extraordinary on her second voyage.

Some clothing and a few papers were found in it. Nothing | is known of the vessel itself. The German steamer Palermo, from Ham- burg, went ashore near Cape Corrubedo, and appears to have been totally lost. The fate of the crew has not been ascertained. Some of the cargo has been washed up. Two I previous vessels owned by the same firm. the Spezzia and the Sorrento, were also lost at this very spot- ¡ Va.rious wrecks and small fishing-boats are reported from various points round the coa?t. Owing to the violence of the gale several houses were ceverelv damaged at Cuta, and I three deaths are reported. At Zamora 148 persons who were in danger of being swept away by the floods were rescued by soldiers. It is thought that one or more vessels have I been lost off Vigo, as numerous pieces of wreckage have been cast up by the waves. A heavy fog hinders the work of .search, and severai tugs are ready to start out as soon as the weather permits. The Guadalquivir continues to riee, and further damage is feared. Spain is threatened with a severe winter. and subscriptions in aid of the poor are already being raised. A Lloyd's telegram reports that the Mar- garet Jones left Rotterdam for Barry on the 14th inst.

I WELSH MUSEUM • MR. EDWIN SEWARD'S PLANS Mr. Muir Mackenzie, one of the Official Referees at the London Law Courts, to-day further heard the action brought by Mr. Edwin Seward, a well-known Cardiff archi- I tect, against the Cardiff Corporation for fees and damages in connection with the plans prepared by plaintiff for the Welsh National Museum. The same legal i-epresentatives as before appeared for the parties concerned. Further cross-examined by -Air. B. Francis- W iUiams, K.C., Mr. E. Seward said that some of the plans which were submitted to the I committee on January 17. 1902. were, no I doubt, tentative plans, but they were all neatly finished. No doubt, the object of tentative plans was to see whether they suited the views of the clients, and in the case of the defendant corporation that would II be the case. If the plans were not approved of it did not follow that he would have to draw new ones, as he had often used rough plans when further developed and finished neatly. Suppose you submit plans to a client which he does not approve of, llo you charge for the plana.'—That depends on circumstances. What circumstances?—The amount of work the client gave me to do, which, if he was not a business man. might go over mouths or j ears. You must a-Iow I had to get some- thing for my work. I suppose you know that the regulations of the Royal Institute of British Architects allow 5 per cent. commission on work '1 executed by architects, including the prelimi- nary specifications and sketches, approximate I estimates, &c.. so that all that would be included in the 5 per cent. supposing the work went on?—Yes, but that is for necessary work and would not include unnecessary work. Further examined, the witness said that some of the plans submitted on January 17 1902. were 1-16 to the inch. and the final plans were usually à of an inch. (Proceeding.)

I Million Lost in Wages I BOILERMAKER'S RESUME WORK The resumption of work in the Clyde ship- yards to-day was general, and in moft instances satisfactory. Some of the firms experienced difficulty in securing a sufficient number of men. In one yard work was started last night. and the double-shift system wial continue many months. The amount of new work in the Clyde yards is estimated at, half-a-mil'ion tone. A Newcastle telegram says that platers, riveters, cahikers, and other members of the Boilerma,lierr-I Society resumed work at the federated shipyardr, this morning. A fairly good start was made at the 'Tyne yarns, but I some days will necessarily elapse before work can be got into full -swing again. Great satisfaction i& expressed on every hand that ¡ men have got back to work, especially the smaller shopkeepers on Tyneside, who have been great sufferers by the prolonged lock- out. The boiler-makers' lock-out lasted fifteen week. The loss in wages is estimated as follows:- I 15.000 Boilermakers £45a,QOO j I 15.000 other artisans 337,500 I 8,000 labourer 120,000 I TotaJ £907,500 I In addition there has been a great drain I on trade union fuitds. The 15.000 boiler- makers have been receiving 5s. weekly from their society, and a similajr amount from I the General Federation of Trade Unions. The Boilermakers' Society funds hAe I thus been depleted to the extent of £56.Z50, and a similar amount 1125 come from the federation. The loss to employers cannot be estimated. There were many unsuccessful attempts made to settle the diHjmte-

I Traveller's Accident I INTERESTING COMPENSATION CASE At Newport County-oourt to-day the adjourned oompensation case of Dyer v. it Alger and Son was further heard. Mr. A. J. Parsons (instructed by Mr. A. P. Williams) appeared for the applicant (Mr.s Dyer, the e the widow of Frank Dyer, who was killed in June last whilst riding a motor bicycle from the hill climbing competitions at Rhiwbina towards Cardiff); Mr. F. n. Metcalfe, of Bristol. appeared for the respondents. Elec- tricians, of Newport, by whom the deceased was employed as traveller. Mr. Metcalfe contended that the accident in this case did not "arise out-of and in the course of" the employment, because the decease-d had gone to Rhiwbina ostensibly for his own pleasure and was to see a customer later on whilst having tea. Eis Honour in giving judgment said not only was the motor-bicycle supplied to the deceased for his use in getting a.bout the country, but he was entitled to it by the terms of his oontract. At the time that the I accident occurred deceased was on his way from Whitchurch to Newport, where he lived. I His Honour was soatisfied that he had -one to Whitchurch on his employers' business, and having done what he could in further- ance of that business he was returning home. t The accident, therefore, arose "out of and in the course of his employment," and there was an award for £300. Mr. Metcalfe applied for a stay of execution for 21 days' in view of an appeal. His Honour granted a stay, but said the I widow must be paid 15s. per week, pending I the appeal.

WALES V. SCOTLAND [SOCCER GAME FOR CARDIFF The Council of the Football Association of Wales met at Shrewsbury last evening, Mr. J- Davies. Wrexham, presiding. The chief matter dealt with was the venue of the internationals for this season. Two are to be played in the Principality—Scot- land v. Wales and the amateur international with England. Mr. John Stephens moved that the amateur mat"h should be played in North Wales, sug- gesting Wrexham, and that the Scottish match should take place at Cardiff, pointing out that in the southern portion very few class amateure existed, whilst as "mis- sionary" work was needed in South Wales it would well pay the Association to allocate the fixture to Cardiff, where Ninian Park or the Cardiff Arms Park could be secured. After a discussion it was resolved to play the amateur game at Wrexhax2 or Bangor. and the Scottish match at Cardiff on Mon- day, March 6. Delegates were appointed to visit the Car- diff City ground.

Llwynypia. this afternoon. When the teams met on Saturday at Ninian Park. Cardiff, a draw of two goals each resulted, after Cardiff had at one time held a lead of two clar goals.

Though the home 6ide are not so good as last season, they have yet to be beaten on their own ground, and are determined that Glou- cester shall not rob them of their record. Llanelly tried another full-back last Satur- day. The latest player to be experimented with was W. Roberts, the ex-interna-tional schoolboy, who won honours as a half-back. He has developed into a cool player, but is probably too small and slow to do much in first-class football.. I Evan Davies, the Llanelly right wing three-quarter back, maintains his consis- tency as a scorer. No ether wing player shows greater resolution in going for the goal-line, and it is to be hoped he will have a chance in the trial match of showing what he can do alongside a good centre three- quarter. Aberavon have selected their strongest fifteen for the inalch at Swansea next Satur- day, and are hoping to run their strong opponents to a close finish. W.

Another who heard the tidings with regret was Bill Clark, better known as the "Belfast Chicken." who was Mace's sparring partner more than sixty years ago.

I CARDIFF'S NEW M.P. v The statement has gone abroad that when Lord Ninian Stuart. M.P., and Lady Ninian leave Cardiff this (Thursday) evening by the 6.43 train their admirers and supporters are to promote a monster demonstration and arrange an elaborate send-off. This is alto- gether incorrect, as Lord and Lady Ninian, who are naturally much fatigued after the strenuous election campaign, desire no osten- tatious departure. They will be gl-i. how- ever, to eee any of their election supporters on the platform when they leave this even- ing for London before proceeding to Scotland to spend the Christmas holidays. Lord and Lady Ninian Stuart return to Cardiff some time nexl month.

Moving Mountain SLIDE IN RHYMNEY VALLEY. The situation at Troedrhiwfuwch, in the Rhymney Valley, where a huge portion of the mountain-side is imperceptibly, yet slowly and surely, on the move towards the bottom of the valley, bears a somewhat serious aspect. It has been noticed that the movement is greater during the rainy months than at other times, and the exces- sively bad meteorological conditions of the last few weeks have drawn public attention in an alarming degree to the happenings at Troedrhiwfuwch. The affected area is on the Glajnorgan side of the valley below Pontlottyn and about three miles north of Bargoed. The River Rhymney runs through the bottom of the valley, and the Rhymney Railway line runs parallel with the river, but at a slightly higher altitude. At this spot the mountain, of a particularly steep gradient, towers above the village of Troedrhiwfuwch. menacing it with destruction. The inhabitants of this little hamlet have grown familiar with the cracks in their walls and the grotesque slant of various buildings, and, although recognising the devastation which would be caused when the big slide actually takes place, they evince no fear. and look upon the situation in a philosophical manner. Although the huge gaps in the mountain- side are ever widening and thousands of tons of earth are moving down the valley, they are apparently indifferent. The houses lower down the hill have long been aban- doned, and it is only a question of time before the houses at Troedrhiwfuwen will share the same fate. At present the greatest danger threatens the railway line a.t the Troedrhiwfuwch Halt On the river side of the halt the land ia slipping away to the river, thus necessitating the re-banking of the line on the mountain side of the rail- way. The halt has been closed for passenger traffic. Huge gangs of men are constantly unloading ballast from trucks and placing it in such a position as to form an extension to the railway embankment. The lines will then be removed further fmm the danger zone. It has been found necessary to demolish a stone bridge which crossed the railway line.
