PRESENT AT THE WHIPPING AT I NEWPORT. Robert Sully, 12, and Frederick Sully, 10 years 10-f age, of Kirby-street, were charged at Newport Town-hall, to-day, with stealing a. half-sovereign from a till in the grocery stall in the Provision Market kept by Mr George Turner. On Tuesday 'Week the prosecutor's assistant left the stall hurriedly to rescue a broken cask of grapes Which was being looted at the market gates by boys, and during his absence the two boys, who were playing- about, dodged around the counter, saw the coin lying under a half- crown and took it. They spent it in the purchase of a guernsey, pair of pants, and a football. The Court decided to detain both lads at the cells for two days, and ordered that the younger lad should be present when his elder brother was Whipped by the father of the force. The Bench offered, the prosecutor the full football rig-out, ex- plaining that they could not restore the money, but that he was welcomerto the produce thereof.

THE CHANNEL SQUADRON. I The Press Association's Scarborough corre- spondent telegraphs :-Fii-e ships of the Channel Squadron are still anchored in Scarborough Roadstead, viz., Rodney, Howe, Immortalite, Aurora, and Speedwell. Each of these vessels has been unable to recover the anchors they had to slip during Friday night on account of the storm It is reported on good authority that the Curlew has not been seen since she put to sea on Saturday morning, and that the Camperdown has gone in search of her. The injured men are to- day reported to be recovering, and only one case is serious. The ships will be opened to the public to-day. FURTHER DETAILS. I A Tragic D&th.

Eccles Election.
Eccles Election. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM. ] MANCHESTER, Tuesday Night. While the Conservatives were to-night expend- ing their energies in holding five public meetings, and thus withdrawing their workers from the important business of organisation, the Liberals concentrated all their attention upon office work, the leaders of the party gathered their officers and men around them and instructed one and all in the details of to-morrow's duties, so that everything may work smoothly and in order. Although the register is so old, and there have been a large number of deaths, and still more removals, so numerous have been canvassers, and so great will be the army of volunteers who to-morrow will take possession of the place that a heavy poll may be expected. The Liberals have received pledges from more than half the electors, and every effort will be made to secure that none of these be lost. Every- thing that organisation can do has been done, and the Liberals await with every confidence the result of to-morrow's polling. While so much can be said for the organisa- tion, nothing but praise can be bestowed upon Mr Roby. He has been an ideal candidate. Physically a robust man, he has done more hard work than would have been possible for many men to accomplish. He has rarely omitted to visit and speak at every meeting held in his sup- port, although theso numbered three, four, five, and even eight tn one night and the gift of public speaking which lie enjoys in no small measure, has enabled him to secure the adhersion of many waverers. He has presented his arguments, whether in the form of Home Rule, the Eight Hours Bill, or temperance reform, clearly and forcibly, and with an earnestness that has carried conviction to most of his hearers. In short, a better candidate it would have been difficult to find. Mr Egerton, too, apart from being a Tory of the old school, is a most estimable gentleman, and with two such candidates it is not surprising that the contest has been conducted with perfect courtesy on each side, and with an entire absence of harsh words and personalities. Whether the election will be com- pleted without any disagTeeablo feature arising, remains to be seen. The Liberals a few days ago received information that a considerable number of strangers would be imported to Eccles on the polling day for other than legitimate purposes. Tobemoreexplicit the statement is that those men will be introduced to personate those persons on the register who are dead, or who have removed. This discredit- able trick, it is said, was tried with some success at Oldham on one occasion, and the experience then gained by the Liberals will be put to good advantage to-morrow. A strong staff of "detectives," drawn from Manchester, Preston, Bury, Burnley, Rochdale, and elsewhere, will be posted in the neighbourhood of all the polling booths, and will take all possible steps to prevent personation. The following notice has been conspicuously posted SPECIAL NOTICE. Personation. Caution. Strangers visiting this district to-day for an illegal purpose are hereby warned that they are being watched. Beware The penalty for per- sonation on conviction of the offence is imprison- ment not exceeding two years with hard labour.— By order. It is only fair to say that the Tories have similar apprehensions, and that they too have taken precautions of a like nature to those indica- ted above. The Tories, like the Liberals, will have abundance of help from all quarters. The organisations of both the Conservatives and the Liberal Unionists will be worked in Mr Egerton's interest, and his friends profess to be very sanguine as to the result. They are particularly gratified by the fact that Mr Edward Pilkington, brother of the chairman of Mr Roby's election committee, and a member of the Clifton and Kersley Colliery Company, has signified his adhesion to the Unionist party, and they belieye that this will effect a good many of the miners' votes. It is pretty well known, however, that Mr Edward Pilkington has been a Liberal Unionist for some time, and, in any event, it is not thought that his conduct will influence any votes one way or the other. It seems to be generally conceded that the fight will be a close ont% and that it will end in Mr Roby's favour. The Liberals have issaed a final appeal to the electors, in which they point out that Mr Roby has been a consistent Liberal for forty years an active worker in tlø cause of reform, and a hearty supporter from Mr Gladstone's policy of Home Rule for Ireland, while Mr Egerton is a good old-fashioned Tory whose parliamentary career shows a long list of votes against popular measures of reform. POLLING TO-DAY. I The Press Asgociatiou -Pollilig commenced this morning in the Eccles division of South-east Lancashire for the election of a member of Parlia- ment, in the room of the late Hon. Alfred Egerton, Conservative. The candidates are Hon. Alger- non Fulke Egerton, Conservative, who formerly represented South Lancashire, and subsequently South-east Lancashire, and Mr Henry J. Roby, Gladstonian Liberal. ECCLES, 11 A.Ar.-The voters came up in con- siderable numbers during the first hour, and there was much bustle and excitement. The speech of Mr Gladstone at Edinburgh was eagerly read and discussed among the Liberals, who did not fail to make the utmost use of it as an aid to their candidate. The Conservertives were no less active, and a large proportion of the voters were brought to poll in carriages provided by sup- porters of the Government in the neighbourhood. ECCLES, Noon. -With carriages the Liberals are well supplied, as are the Conservatives. The miners will vote during the afternoon, as they are engaged on the day shift during the forenoon. The miners are engaged chiefly at the collieries of the Bridge- water trustees. The polling is proceeding steadily at Pendlebury, Swintcn, and Walkden. Mr Roby will visit these places during the afternoon. Personation Feared. I The special correspondent of the Central News telegraphs from El celeg: Polling goes on steadily at several stations in the division. A good proportion having recorded their votes by eleven o'clock, the Liberals, on the whole, claiming advantage. The weather continues miserable, a thick fog enveloping the district, and render- ing out-door workmost unpleasant. Both candidates were about about by 8 o'clock, and busily eugaucd themselves driving through the constituency, waiting at their respective committee rooms. Mr Egertcns colours are blue and Mr Robev's are red, the favours being freely worn by their respective supporters. Both seem to have an unusual large supply of vehicles, some out voters being brought from long distances. Wholesale personation seems to be feared, and the Liberals have two special scrutineers in each polling-booth, to guard against it, It is expected that the result of the polling will be made known about 11 o'clock. The figures will be telegraphed to Mr Gladstone as soon as I possible, and Liberal Associations from all parts of the country have requested to have the news u,, PREVIOUS ELECTIONS. 1885. 1886.

MR GLADSTONE IN I SCOTLAND.…
MR GLADSTONE IN SCOTLAND. Great Speech at I Edinburgh. EDINBURGH, Tuesday Night. Though none the worse for his journey and exertion of Monday, Mr Gladstone remained withindoors until this afternoon in orderto reserve his strength for the Corn Exchango meeting. This meeting was to begin at half-past three o'clock but two hours before that time the doors were beset by thousands of Midlothian electors and delegates from village committees, who had come into the city by early trains, and who soon gravitated towards the Grass Market, where the hall is situated. On the doors being opened there was an eager rush, much elbowing and squeezing, and then, when the portals had been passed, a helter-skelter hopping and jumping over seats to get into the best places that the tickets would allow. The Exchange was found to be divided by barricades into various parts, some unreserved, some left for ordinary electors. A commodious balcony ran round the building and increased the accommodation, and of this the ladies had a division to themselves. The platform was a large and spacious one, and contained several hundreds of gentlemen. There stood out from the front of it a rostrum. This, and indeed the whole Ex- change, was prettily upholstered and decorated with flags and banners and red, white, and blue bunting. -To improve its acoustic properties a star-like arrangement of telephonic wires radiated outwards from the rostrum. The names of the Liberal leaders in both Houses of Parliament were inscribed on the walls. Above the platform there was a Welcome to our own Grand Old Man." As the afternoon was a hazy and dull one, the gas was alight in little jets, ready to be raised should the darkness increase. Altogether the scene was a very striking and animated one, the hall containing between four and five thousand persons, all brimful of party enthusiasm. The display of this on Mr Gladstone's entrance was very striking. The audience sprang on to their seajts, and, waving their hats, cheered as long as their breath held out. Lord Rosebery led in Mrs Gladstone, and Mr Gladstone followed, looking very energetic and bright. The demonstrations of the audience suffused his countenance with smiles, and he bowed his hearty acknowledgments. The Earl of Rosebery took the chair. There were also present- Mr Arnold Morley, M.P., Mr Campbell-Banner- man, M. P., Mr Childers, M.P., Mr Buchanan, M.P., Mr Majoribanks, M.P., Mr Munro Fer- gusson, M.P., Mr Maclagan, M.P., Mr J. B. Balfour, M.P., Mr D. Crawford, M.P., Mr Asher, M.P., Mr Herbert Gladstone, M.P., Sir George Campbell, M.P., Mr R. W. Duff, M.P., Mr Asquith, M.P., Mr R. B. Haldane, M.P., Dr Farquharson, M.P., Mr A. L. Brown, M.P., Mr Provand, M.P., Mr Parker, M.P., Principal Raiuey, Mr S. Williamson, M.P., Mr McEwan, M.P., Lord Elgin and the Earl of Rosebery's two little sons (Lord Dalmeny and Lord A. Prim- rose), whose early entry was welcomed as a good augury of the improved condition of the countess. The business of presenting addresses was at once entered upon. There were 176 of these, and as they had been previously printed and placed in the hands of every,persoli who entered the hall, it was unnecessary to read them. The names of the districts from which they came were simply read out, and the addresses handed to Mr Glad- stone by their bearers, who for this purpose filed past the right hon. gentleman. They formed a huge heap in front of him when all were accumu- lated. Mr Gladstone's Address. I It was clear in the opening sentences of his speech that Mr Gladstone was in admirable voice. In due time it became also evident that he intended to husband its resources. He spoke throughout in a quiet tone. Not once, even when he alluded to Mitchelstown or when he declaimed the peroration with which he finally varied the strictly narrative character of his speech, did he uplift his voico in those stormy notes to which Midlothian audiences are not unaccustomed. He spoke for nearly an hour and a half, apparently without fatigue to himself, and certainly without once losing his hold on the attention of the audience, albeit the story he unfolded was in its main passages not un- familiar. At the outset lie mapped out in detail the course of the campaign on which he that afternoon embarked. He intends to review the office and work of the present Parlia- ment, to show how it has failed, and why it has failed, a prospect at which the audience genially cheered. He will next deal with some events that have taken place in foreign lands. Thirdly, with the establishments of the country and the manner in which public economy is now regarded. Fourthly, with the relations between labour and capital and lastly with Scottish affairs, after he has had the opportunity of communication with Scotland. There was, however, he proceeded to say, one question which over- shadows and eclipses all others of the day. Here the audience, which had pricked up its ears at the mention of "establishment" in the third division of the self-allotted task, became again attentive, and there was heard a whisper, The Church question." But Mr Gladstone lost no time in ex- plaining that the affairs he had in mind were those of Ireland. That question, ho insisted, is paramount, and will remain so until the diffi- culty is removed by an effectual settlement. The Irish question is like a rail- way train which has broken down and obstructed the line. Other trains come up, and passengers demand that they should be allowed to pass. But they can make no progress till the Irish train is set in motion and removed out of the way. There- after to the end of his "-speech Mr Gladstone devoted himself to exposition and illustration of the Irish question. Ho briefly entered upon retrospection in jus- tification of the course taken by his Government in 1886, when it gave precedence to Irish Bills over others, a divergence which led him to make a rare reference to "thc ultra-Tory party," being a new name for the Dissentient Liberals. He advanced the thesis that the administration of the law in Ireland is a great deal worse than the law itself, a proposition mightily approved by the audience. The Government itself, he declared, reading from one of his few notes, is the most perfect pattern of illegality. This statement he supported by a refer- ence to shadowing, drawing a graphic picture of an Irish citizen going about his ordi nary business accompanied by a policeman, who walked with him shoulder to shoulder, as if," said Mr Gladstone, holding out his hands in amazed indignation, he was his intimate friend." There could be no doubt of this state of things, sipce it had been photographed in actual process. But the Government, who were above all things afraid of the truth, had forcibly put down the photographer. Another charge he brought against the police, acting under the directions of the Irish Government, was the insolent violation of the private domi- cile. Nor did he mince words in dealing with the nomination of Mr Shannon to sit on the banch to try Mr Dillon, who had a short time earlier come into personal conflict with him, and had made his conduct the subject of accusation in the House of Commons. Mr Shannon's appear- ance on the bench in these circumstances was, Mr Gladstone declared, a gross scandal, it was impossible to carry indecency further. If the scene was changed from the other side of the Channel to this, and such tricks and pranks could be played here by the wantonness of power, they would find out very shortly"— What discovery was to be made was lost amid the angry roar of applause with which this prospect was greeted by the sturdy Scotch audience. Still dealing with the police question, Mr Gladstone showed that, relatively to the population- of England and Scotland, Ireland had six policemen to their one. The force was kept up at a cost of £1,600,000 a year and you," ho added, with a comprehensive wave of his hand, pay that sum in order to collect the rents of the Irish land- lords Nor were these in a more disastrous condi- tion than their British brethren. As a matter of fact, whilst rents in Ireland had fallen by 20 per cent. in recent years, English rents had fallen 24 per cent., with this added difference, that with the Irish landlords the fall was accomplished only by the intervention of the Court, whilst in England it had been brought about by voluntary contract. Adverting to the evidence of public opinion, he recalled a decla- ration made by a Ministerial speaker that only a seat here and there was lost; but how is that? Mr Gladstone asked, and, amid laughter and repeated cheers, answered, It is because we have only had an election here and there. Let us have a general election, and we will win seats here and there and everywhere." He concluded by an eloquent appeal for united effort in the settlement of the Irish question-a settlement which he de- clared is likely to rid this Empire at once of an intolerable nuisance and of a deep dis- grace, and to gild with a brighter glow the plosinac Y15 of 5i0.tj.qus bad added its shroud to the darkness of the evening as Mr Gladstone drove away from the hall, but a. crowd had assembled all along the route to Rothesay-terrace, and cheered him as be passed. To-day's Incidents. The Press Association states that Mr Gladstone will, during the day, receive at Rothesay-terrace a number of his personal and political friends now in Edinburgh, among whom are Mr Childers, Mr Marjoribanks, Mr Arnold Morley, and other members of Parlia- ment. After luncheon, it is probable Mr Glad- stone will pay a private visit to Lord Rose- bery at Dalmeny, and view the Forth Bridge, but this is contingent upon the state of Lady Rosebery's health, and no report as to her ladyship's present condition had been received at Rothesay-terrace up to the time of telegraphing. This afternoon Mrs Gladstone will attend a meeting of the Edinburgh Women's Liberal Association. The ex-Premier has accepted an invitation to lunch with Mr Buchanan on Friday, and this is the only engage- ment at present made for that day.
I What the "World" Says.
What the "World" Says. 0 Princess Louise has been staying since Thurs- day at Balfour House, Fifeshire, on a visit to Mrs Wemyss, of Wemyss, whence she will proceed to Balmoral. Mrs Wemyss has carried out great improvements at Balfour during the last few months, and the house is now lighted by elec- tricity. -0- The Duke and Duchess of Teck were last week the guests of the Dowager Duchesse de Luynes at Dampierre, the magnificent place she inherited from her father the Due de Doudeauville. She was assisted in doing the honours at the splendid fetes which she bad organised with so much skill by her daughter-in-law, the Duchesse de Luynes, who is a daughter of the Duchesse d'U zes. A series of dramatic entertainments were given by a troupe which comprised the Marquise d'PIervey de St. Denis, Mdne. de Banuelos, the Comtesse de Guerne, and last, but not least, Count Jacques de Pourtales, whose leadership of cotillons is always respectfully remembered in London. Lord Salisbury has advised the Queen to confer the Grand Cross of the Order of the Star of India upon the Sultan of Zanzibar, and her Majesty has consented to do BO; but it has not yet been decided when his Majesty is to be invested, or by whom. -0 Few women played a more important part in the politics of their generation than the Dowager Marcmise de Castellane, who died a few days since at Rothecotte, in Touraine, the beautiful demesne where she maintained, with the aid of the Comte de Falloux, Montalembert, Dupanloup, and now and then M. Thiers, a fierce opposition to the Second Empire, and did so much to undermine the power of Napoleon III. She was the mother of the Princess Radzivil, who worked so hard for the French prisoners at Berlin in 1870. -0 The Comte de Paris is expected to arrive on Saturday, November 8th, at Stowe, where the Comtesse de Paris has been residing during the last three weeks, and they will remain there until the middle of January, when they are going to Spain for three months. The Prince and Princess of Wales will probably be the guests of the Comte and Comtesse de Paris at Stowe during the third week in December, and they will stay for three days. The Comtesse and Princess Helene have been out several times with the Grafton, and the Comte's pack of harriers (removed from Wood Norton, in Worcestershire) had a capital run last week. The park at Stowe is now open to the hounds. -0- The Duke and Duchess of Bedford are residing with a family party at Woburn Abbey, where they intend to stay until the meeting of Tarlia- ment, and they will return there for the Cllrist- II mas holidays. The Duke's large steam-yacht, the Northumbria, has been laid up for the winter at Southampton, and he has lent his smaller vessel, the Blunderbuss, to his brother-in-law, Lord Delawarr. Sir Morell Mackenzie has returned to England, home, and duty, after what seems to me an ideal holiday, passed in one of those so-called yachting trips which are now arranged for by some of our great shipping companies. Leaving London on August 29th m the Chimborazo, a floating palace of four thousand tons, belonging to the Orient Line, with a full crew and eighty passengers, the tourists, failing to make Tangiers on account of stress of weather, took Algiers as their first land- ing-place, and proceeded thence to Athens, where the Duchess of Sparta, who was living some four miles out of the town, drove in to see Sir Morell, with whom she was acquainted. At Constanti- nople the eminent physician received great civili- ties from the Grand V izier, and, though accident- ally prevented from being presented to the Sultan, who sent for him, he was the recipient of the Order of the Meajidie (second class), as has been already narrated. Perhaps, on the whole, Sebas- topol was the most interesting of the places visited. The arrival of the ship seems to have bean viewed with some suspicion at first by the Russians, and passengers were not allowed to dis- embark until after several hours' detention in the harbour, during which a searching examination of the vesoel, and even of the passengers' cabins, was made by the officials. Presumably in the interval instructions had been demanded from headquarters, for on their landing they were received with the greatest civility. They visited the battlefields and the British cemetery on Cath- cart's Hill, which they report as beautifully kept; and they noted that even to the present day the city itself, in broken walls and roofless houses, showed manifold traces of the famous siege. It seems probable that the Chimborazo will be one of the last vessels permitted to enter the harbour, its it is said that the days of Sebastopol as a com- mercial port. are numbered, and it will henceforth be converted into a military and naval arsenal. -0- It was in the fitness of things that Professor Thorold Rogers should have died at Oxford, the scene of the greatest grief and the greatest triumph of his life. His good though full-flavoured stories will be remembered by many who already forget his famous passage of arms with Professor Bonamy Price, and will never remember his utter- ances at Westminster, where he proved a con- spicuous failure. Professor Rogers used to lecture on political economy at King's College, but his discourses often degenerated into a series of amusing reminiscences of Gladstone, Beacimsfield' and John Bright. The O'Shea case will be tried before Mr Justice Butt. Sir James Hannen will not, therefore, have a second opportunity of dealing with an inquiry in which Mr Parnell is deeply interested. -0 Unless Sir George Elliot decides to proceed as prosecutor, the case of Hairs v. Elliot is at an end. Last week the plaintiff applied for leave to discontinue her action, which Mr George Lewis, on behalf of Sir George Elliot, opposed and it was only on the conditions that Miss Hairs bore the costs of the entire proceedings, and undertook to bring no further action against Sir George, that the court granted its order that the action she had entered for re-trial should be withdrawn. If the matter is re-opened it will only be by Sir George Elliot taking the initia- tive.

W. Edmondes, M.A. (rector of Coity), Fitzhamon Court, Bridgend. The ceremony was performed by the bride's father, assisted by the Rev Roes Morris (curate), and the service was choral. The bride, who was attired in a dress of rich white silk, entered the church leaning on the arm of her uncle, Lieut. -Colonel Edmondes, R.E., and the only bridesmaid was Miss Roper Curzon. Mr W. W. Hood, Llwyny- pia, brother of the bridegroom, acted as "best- man." As before mentioned, the sacred edifice was crowded, representatives of a number of ,t those present. The county families being among those present. The wedding breakfact was laid at Fitzhamon Court. The newly-married pair left Bridgend by the afternoon express for London en route for Scot- land, where the honeymoon will be Spent. The presents were exceedingly numerous and costly, and testified to the respect in which the two families are held.

Superintendent Hennett stated that in con- sequence of the publicity given to the case by the Press, he had received communications from all parts of the country, from banks, clergymen, and others, who had been swindled by the prisoner. His opera- tions ranged over nine counties, from Hampshire, through South Wales, to the North Riding of Yorkshire. He had obtained money from ten banks, three clergymen, a Roman Catholic priest, and a gentleman in London. In these cases he held warrants for the prisoner's arrest should he be acquitted. All these offences had been committed since his release from prison in August last. Stanley is the son of a watchmaker at Neath, Glamorganshire, and is well educated. The Chairman stated that in 1886 the prisoner was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment at the Surrey Sessions for obtaining money by fraud, and in 1888 to 18 months im- prisonment at Dorchester Assizes for a like offence. Society must be protected from being preyed upon by such persons as the prisoner, and the sentence of the court was that he should do tleb
IThe Cardiff Tragedy.
I The Cardiff Tragedy. I THE CONDITION OF RODERICK. Marked Improvement. The man Ontonio Roderick was stated by the Infirmary authorities at an early hour this morn- ing to be in a very dangerous condition but on inquiring about noon it was ascertained that subsequently he fell into a sound sleep which continued for several hours, with the result that when he awoke the doctors found that his condi- tion had very considerably improved. It was stated, however, that this progress will have to continue for some days before any attempt will be made to probe for or extract the bullet. There have beeu several calls by relatives of Roderick at the Infirmary, but absolute quiet is insisted upon, and consequently nothing further than inquiry is permitted. The Funeral of Mrs Roderick. Messrs Marsh and Co., St. Mary-street, have been entrusted with the arrangements for the funeral of the murdered woman, Mrs Roderick and it has been decided that the interment shall take place at Newport on Sunday afternoon. The body will be conveyed by road, and we under- stand that the cortege will leave Christina-street about 10 o'clock on Sunday morning. The coffin is of highly-polished elm, with brass furniture and the plate inscription is as follows :— ANN RODERICK DIED OCTOBER 20TH, 1890; AGED 35 YEARS. Treasury Prosecution. v Mr T. 1L Belcher has received instructions from the Treasury to prosecute in the charge of murder preferred against David Harsent.

CLEVELAND IRON MARKET.
CLEVELAND IRON MARKET. MIDDLESBROUGH, Tuesday.—The iron market to day showed much less favourably than at any time since the collapse of warrants a fortnight ago. There is practically no business. Neither buyers nor sellers will operate, and the market is stagnant. There is no understanding the position into which the trade has drifted, and predictions that prices would be strengthened because of the Scotch strike are entirely falsified, as prices have been much worse ever since. The quotation for No. 3 has been to-day 48s, sellers. Buyers will only offer 6d. Hardly a transaction can be heard of. The makers generally refuse to sell unless they obtain more than this rate. Warrants are against 47s 4d, but all prices for the moment are little better than nominal. No. 4 forge is 49s hema- tite, 58s. Connal's stocks are increasing. Ship- ments are likely to prove higher the remainder of October. Very little business is doing in manu- factured iron, and steel prices are about the same as last week. Common bars and angles are L6 ship-plates, £6 5s steel plates, 26 15s. Coke is very firm.

THE BARRY DOCK AND RAILWAYS SERVANTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE" SOUTH WALES ECHO." N- TT oin,—Having- taken considerable interest in several letters that have appeared in your valuable paper, I should like to further acquaint the public with the feeling- that exists amongst the officials towards their men, signalmen especially. I hear that they are evty ready to insult them, doubtless with the object of getting rid of what, to them, are an obnoxious set, simply because they dare to stand up for their rights. They have not attempted to carry out towards them what Mr Inskip, the mouthpiece of the directors, distinctly promised. I hear that within the past week one of them, holding one of the highest positions, told one of the signalmen that they had got vei v dissatisfied all at once, and that he could not see the reason. He must be dull, or pretend to be. The reason is not far to seek. One in- stance They fined a few days ago a married man 2s 6d for lack of discretion, where I cannot see any whatever. That man has a wife and family to keep with his starvation wages.— I am. &c.. NOT A BARRY 1TE. JOURNEYMEN PRINTERS' WAGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SOUTH WALES ECHO." Sir,-It is with great interest I have read the correspondence in your paper bearing on the above question, but there seem to be some facts which are overlooked. Whilst we have some employers in Merthyr and surrounding districts who sympathise with the men, there are others who persist fn employing an unlimited number, of apprentices, and adopt the drive- on system from Monday morning till Saturday night. Fvery job brought up to the office is accompanied with the instructions, Cheap job," or Wanted at once." Now, sir, I consider it a great injustice to those sympathising employers (who pay for all work done according to society rules) that we, as society men, should allow such a state of things to exist. I have no doubt some employers, with their army of boys, resist any demand on the part of the men. j But we could call the public atten- tion to the fact, and ask members of public bodies, trades unionists, secretaries of friendly societies, members of religious denomina- tions, &c., for their sympathy. Let them inquire of themselves whether they are justified in taking their work to those firms who carry on such an unfair system of competition. I would say let the Secretary of the Cardiff Branch of the P. T.A. 1 take the matter up at once, visit the various districts, and enquire of the members as to the real state of things. I am sorry to say that the trade has got into such a state that if a journeyman is not possessed of some exceptional qualifications he stands no chance of a permanency. I do not believe there is a compositor existing but what would pull out" in a case of emergency, but I do think it is high time that we should protest against the obnoxious system of a continual drive just to pleasa unscrupulous employers. And now, fellow- workmen, in conclusion, if you have any respect for the welfare of your trade, let me appeal to you to join the P. T.A. for unless we are united we will never gain our object.—I am, &c.. PICA FAT. THE RAILWAY CLERKS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SOUTH WALES ECHO." SIR,—While sympathising most deeply with j those white slaves of oppressive railway com- panies, I must at the same time offer a pro- test and a reproach against them for the manner and spirit in which they are now about—as they think—to revolutionize the whole system of rail- way clerks' working and ways. In the first place, that old spirit of high-mindedness and sunerioritv over their brethren—the uniform staff—still reigns predominant, and yet, while admitting that they are helpless against their employers without union, without combination, they, with Don Quixotic fo)ly. ru.?h to the conclusion that a Union of Railway Clerks would assist than and place them on the same independent footing as their wiser brethren, the despised uniform staff, have proved themselves to hold. May I ask the secretary of this newly-formed committee how long they anticipate waiting before they have enough capital to guarantee their taking decisive steps with safety to themselves ? And also what percentage of railway employees are clerks ? And whether in the event of a strike of railway clerks could they so paralyze the working of the railway systems as to make the directors yield, to their demands ? This latter question I ask because < I believe it to be of vital importance, inasmuch as the clerks have taken such a bold and defiant attitude towards the uniform staff and their unions that I doubt whether the insignificant uniform staff would render them any assistance, but, on the contrary, do what they could to raise their own standard of value, just in retaliation for the depreciation of their services by the clerks at the present time. I would also im- press upon the minds of the clerks that at almost every station in the kingdom there are uniform men who are qualified for positions as clerks. Remember the board schools. Under the personal superintendence of their station-master, they would be able to carry on the work of the clerks successfully, and thus place them in a very pitiable position indeed. 4o, my worthy clerks, dispel from your minds that apathy of yours. l\cknowled:e your weaklJe""c: and grip the bony hand and sinewy arm of the green- corduroy and blue-pilot boys. They can carry you through but not so long as you entertain that spirit of bigotry will you receive their assist- ance. I hasten to assure you that without the men of muscle and brains standing by your side your efforts will be futile.—I am, &e.. I Merthyr. BRASS BUTTONS.

SPORTiNG ITEMS.
SPORTiNG ITEMS. C nrsiorpliini-, the two-year-old daughter of Foxhall and Cuojwtte, is said to move somewhat sore on her off hmd leg at exercise, and at the present time it is somewhat doubtful if she will be able to run for the Dewhurst Plate. Both Alicante and Tostig are bad horses for the books, and if the pair keep tit and well there will be a lot of hedging money in the market before the runners go to the post for the big race to-day (Wednesday). The statement is authoritatively contradicted that Fred Barrett will rot ride for the Palace House stable next year. On neither side has there het'11 the least desire to terminate an engagement which has worked so smoothly for several seasons. s horses have left the Green Mr D. Cooper's horses have left the Green Lodge stable at Newmarket and joined those of his brother, Mr W. Cooper, at Matthew Daw- son s. fiyan tinds that he has far too many horses under his charge, and other changes are anti- cipated. Thirty thousand" of the best" will leave the ring for one speculator alone if a certain animal catches the judge's eye to-day, independent of thr. money invested by other followers of the stable— a nice stake this, considering the difficulty of getting money on nowadays. The yearling filly by Lizzie Kendal, by Kendal —Lizzie, who was purchased by Lord Lonsdale for a big figure, after taking first honours at the recent Duhlin horse show, arrived safely at Pen- rith from Ireland on Saturday in charge of Arm- strong, after a rather rough voyage. She is a grand-looking filly, and, with good luck, may make a name for herself. The start of the jumping work at Sandown was not altogether satisfactory, as, in the first place, the entries were small owing to the unusual diffi- culties in the way of schooling young horses and, secondly, the hard ground kept many of tha old practitioners at home. Another point to be considered is the far more expensive nature of the game compared with the value of the stakes to be won than racing undar Jockey Club Rules. To-day there will be a meeting of the Jockey Club to confirm the alteration of the rules on the subject of added money, and to discuss the motions proposed by Lord Cadogan ond Mr L. tie Rothschild. The former La.ing c::o.:rried a motion that no entry or declaration of forfeit shall be made for races for two-year-olds between the last Tuesday in S{èjJtember,' when they are yearlings, and the first Tuesday in March in the following year, was a?so desirous that no added money should be given to any two-year-old race run before the week which includes May 25. This re- form, which meant the virtual extinction of two- year-old racing before the date last-mentioned would have been very sweeping, and Lord Cado- gan now proposes that the value of the added money before May 25 shouhl not exceed LZOO to a sweepstakes or JS500 to a plate.
