[REtJTER's TELEGRAM.] I ) WAfcmNGTON, Saturday.—A group of -frflgiisti ifnanciers are conferring with senators and offioials here on the subject of the establishment of plant for the manufacture of heavy ordnance. The former say they have capital ready if the Government will give any assurances of large orders. They propose to establish the factory in ^febama.

[REUTERS TELEGRAM. 1 NEW YORK, Saturday.-Tlic representative of a large gingham manufactory u Scotland has visited West Port, Connecticut, to seek a site for a factory and has found one suitable for the purpose.

FATALITIES IN THE FOOTBALL I 1 FIELD. Two more fatalities from football were yester- day tiif subject of inquiry at Leeds. William j Arantage (19) died on Wednesday from injuries which he received during a football scrimmage on Holbeck-moor; and in the second case the de- ceased was William Scholey (17), of Wcodhouse Carr, who received injury while playittg for the Buslingthorpe Nelson Juniors at Woodlesford on j the 1st inst. Both sufferers were received into the Leeds Infirmary, and in the case of Scholey: pyemia A •

I Green-room Gossip. » The clever daughter of the popular Mr Sam Adams- Miss Ada Blanche—has been specially engaged by Mr Charles to play the principal part in the Prince's pantomime, at Manchester, I next Christmas. New theatres are to be erected in Cranbourne- | street and in St. Martin's-lane. The latter build- I ing is intended for Miss Melnotte, at present the occupant of Toole's Theatre. I Madame Patti has had from Mr Charles Maple- son, on behalf of Mr Abbey, an offer at a high fee to undertake a farewell opera tour in the United States, beginning at the end of November next year. At present it has not been accepted, as Madame Patti prefers to' postpone her return to America until the Chicago Exhibition year of 1892. Madame Patti left London on Thursday for Cardiff, where her tour under the direction of Messrs Harrison will end. Programme-selling by popular actresses appears to be a substantial means of swelling the receipts at benevolent benefits. Upwards of £ 20 was realised in this way at the Du Val matinee at the Shaftesbury Theatre on Wednesday, thus in- creasing the takings by that amount over :6200. One young lady obtained L6 10s for 50 pro- grammes, or rather more than half-a-crown each. -0- Mr Vert lately put himself in communication with Anton Rubinstein, in hope of inducing him to make another professional tour among his English admirers offering, at the same time, the highest terms ever submitted to an instru- mental performer. The answer received by telegram was "I do not play in public more, not for any sum of money." These words put an end to all prospect of again hearing the great pianist, who, we fancy, must be specially reluctant to appear in England since he discovered that only two per cent. of the population have any music in their souls. It is not unlikely that early next year the re- turn to the old playhouse prices started by Mr Wilson Barrett at the New Olympic will be fol- lowed at several of the West-end theatres where the expenses are not particularly heavy. At any rate, a determined stand will be made against the present system of reckless free admissions. How, for instance, can a matinee of any kind ever pay when all the approaches of the theatre and pay-boxes are blocked with so-called professional people begging for seats ? The paying public cannot get near the door, much less take a ticket. But the greatest encourager of the dead-head" is the acting manager, who is permitted to take a benefit during the season. Wealthy playgoers openly boast that they never dream of paying for a seat in a theatre except once a year, to take a box for the acting manager's benefit. -0 Toole tells a capital story of a well-known "order-hunter" in Dublin, who stopped him in the streets, and after overwhelming him with compliments of the most effusive description, blurted out, I say, Toole, could you give me a pass for tour to-night ?" Toole explained that it was impossible, and that the manager was re- sponsible for free admissions. "Bother the manager He's a stingy old brute Besides, I've asked him." Toole protested that it was impos- sible. Well, Toole, it's extremely awkward, for I've asked three ladies to accompany me, and they'd take it as a compliment, knowing what a good fellow you are, eh Toole, my boy Toole shook his head he could not grant passes. The erstwhile friend turned on his heel quite rudely. He did not offer to shake hands or to compliment the actor any more. All he muttered was, Then I suppose I must pay I" Miss Fanny Robina is at once plucky and lucky. This dashing lady, who has so completely won the favour of Nottingham playgoers by her splendid representation of Little Jack Sheph^ erd in the burlesque of that name recently played at the Grand Theatre, had a narrow escape from a serious accident on the 14 th inst. It was in the prison-breaking scene. Jack an d the faithful Bluey (Mr J. J. Dallas) had just climbed a high wall, which feat was managed by the wall gradually descending through a trap as they ascended. By some mishap the trap was insecurely closed, and Jack, not noticing the hole, ran up the stage, and as ill-luck would have it, trod on the insecure board, which gave way. Had it not been for the presence of mind of Mr Dallas, who quickly caught her, Miss Robina would have assuredly met with serious injuries. As it was, she severely hurt her legs and received a shock. Notwith- standing this, however, the plucky lady, with scarce a moment's pause, went through the rest of her part to the accompaniment of the cheers of the audience. The performances of French plays at the St. James's Theatre, which from the first have been slackly attended, came at the close of last week to an abrupt termination. Mr Mayer pleads that his dignity as manager of the French plays for so many years compels him to spare artists of distinction playing to empty houses." The excuse is valid. French plays stand on a footing altogether different from that they formerly occupied. Paris is now so near that it is no uncommon thing for Londoners to go over to Paris especially to see a novelty. The price charged, perhaps necessarily, for admission is prohibitive to a large portion of the French residents in London and discouraging to the English playgoer. Meanwhile English acting has during recent years improved so much that the educational aspects of French acting are lost. If some special attraction can be provided in the height of the season there is a chance of success. Under other conditions the experiment will al- ways be risky.

THE INTERMEDIATE STATE AT MACHEN. At Newport county police-court, this after- noon. some time was occupied in hearing an ad- journed summons against Mr Lemuel Pritchard, farmer and haulier, of Machen, for being drunk and disorderly on the highway at Machen. There had been a dinner at the Fwrwym Ishta Inn, Machen, on the 7th inst., and after six or seven hours' con- viviality the defendant, his nephew, and others were seen by P.C. Love, as one witness described, happy, fresh, and elevated in the roadway. Defendant and the nephew were having an up- and down purely from the fun of the thing, and Love thought it hardly proper. When he interfered and got the nephew away, with a briefly put caution to the defendant to get home as fast as; he conveniently could, the defendant became dis- pleased at the upstartness of so young an officcr, shook his fist in his face, and danced around him with surprising rapidity, considering that he is inclined to be portly.—Mr Horace Lyne, solicitor, called several respectable resi- dents, some of whom were at the dinner, to show that defendant was not drunk.—Mr Charles Watkins said defendant was perfectly sober then he qualified it by saying he was sober and this induced Dr Davics to suggest to him that he meant h., was in the intermediate state. —The Bench, having heard six cr seven witnesse decided to fine defendant 20s, including costs.

RAU-WAY TRAVELLINC, IN I RUSSIA. A Delay of Seven Hours. I During a journey by express from Cracow to Warsaw the other day the train was stopped at a small station where the express ought not to have stopped at all, the passengers were asked to get out, and after being placed in a pent house were surrounded by Cossacks and told to wait, no reason being given. After an hour or two they were asked to leave the shelter, and were taken to an open field in the pouring rain. Here they were again sur- rounded by Cossacks and made to wait three hours. During this time two regiments of infantry marched up and formed double lines on both sides of the rails. Shortly afterwards a train flew by at terrible speed. The passengers of the express were then informed that the Czar had passed, and were allowed to move about. They had been delayed seven hours.

THE SAVAGE ASSAULT NEAR I NEWPORT.. At Newport county police-court, this afternoon. Francois Ercole, an Italian seaman, was charged on remand with unlawfully wounding Mary Ann Madden, at Bettws, two weeks since. Superin- tendent Bosanquet informed the Bench that the woman was still in the infirmary, and still very ill, although she was getting a little better. He therefore asked for a further remand until next Saturday.—Mr Digby Powell, solicitor, appeared for prisoner at the instance of Mr Couta, the Italian Vice-consul, but did not resist the appli- cation, and the remand was accordingly granted.

I Taunton Disaster. J: —————- $I -————— The Question of the Signalman's Culpability. JUDGE'S REMARKS AT THE ASSIZES. Taunton 'assizes opened this morning, Justice Grantham presiding. His Lordship, in referring to the charge against George Rice, signalman, of causing the death of ten persons at Norton Fitz- warren, said that it was undoubted that the defendant had a duty to perform, and did not do it, and that in consequence of his not doing it the lives of ten persons at least were sacrificed. The law on the point was that everyone who contracted to perform certain duties upon which the preservation of life depended, and who neglected to perform those duties, and thereby caused the death of any person, committed the same olfence as if he had caused the same effect by an act done. It would be for the jury to consider what was the state of the man's mind when he was guilty of the offence—in'other words, whether the neglect was culpable. He considered they should find a true bill.

NEWPORT BOARD OF GUARDIANS. j A Protest Against Red-Tapeisiii. i The weekly meeting of the Newport Board of Guardians was held at the Workhouse this after- noon, the Vice-Chairman (Mr T. Dutfield) pre- siding. There are 346 paupers in the house, an increase of 35 outdoor paupers 2,007, increase 95. The relief amounted to £ 202 6s 4d, and there are 184 children in the Caerleon Schools.— A letter was received from a railway guard named Muskat, whese wife is at present a patient at the Abergavenny Asylum, asking the Board to contribute towards her maintenance. The clerk and chairman I suggested that the application should be made personally to the relieving officer who would bring it before the Board. These suggestions brought up Mr Brown, who warmly protested against ° so much red tapeism. He said that the applicant was only receiving 24s per week, and that he had paid 14s per week for three months to the asylum authorities. The protest had the desired effect, for the clerk was directed to communicate with the asylum authorities. MrL. B. Moore introduced the question of the drainage of the workhouse and a slight sensation by telling the members they were sitting over a defective sewer. The Rev J. S. Darby said that he had sat over it for 15 years and had felt no ill effects. On hearing this Mr Moore said they could sit for another week, and the matter was adjourned accordingly. The over- seers of Michaelstozie, who have not paid the July rate, were ordered to be proceeded against.

I RISCA COLLIER BOYS' "MIXTURE." Mr J ohn J ones,landlord of the Risca House Inn, Pontymistcr, was summoned at Newport county pclice-court to-day, for permitting drunkenness on the 13th instant. At 10.40 on the evening in question, P.C. Jones saw an under-sized youth named John Bevan came out of the house staggeringly drunk and being led by another young man named Bacon. The officer wètlt into the house and complained to the defendant, who replied that he was more troubled with boys than with men. Afterwards defendant told Sergeant Porter that Bevan came to the house between eisrht and nine, and that he did net notice him until he began to make a noise with horseplay,, when he turned him out. Bacon, called as a witness, said four young men went into the house, and had a, famous mixture consisting of two quarts of beer one or two glasses of rum, and a pint of rhubarb wine between them. Mr A. II. Oliver, solicitor for the defence, admitted that there had been seine sort of irregularity in allowing young per- sons to go to a public-house and get a ridiculous mixture of drinks which no man's stomach would stand, but urged that for 25 years defendant had kept the house fairly well.—The Bench thought it was a gross case, but, in consideration of the de- fendant's previous good character, they fined him only 20s. The boy who was in the house was also fined 5s; and the Bench, expressed the opinion that the witnesses who had been called for the defence had not spoken the truth.

SALARIES OF CARDIFF POOR LAW OFFICERS. An application for an increase of salary by Mr T. Williams, relieving officer for St. Mary's Penarth and Llandough, was read at the meeting of the Cardiff Guardians to-day. He has been in the service of the Board for eleven years, and he claimed to have effected a considerable reduction in the relief granted. This was combatted by the chairman (Dr Paine), who attributed the reduction to the vigilance of the committee Mr F. J. Beavan thought the application should not be considered at all, in view of the fact that the whole question was fully gone into a comparatively short time ago. —Mr Butler observed that if they acceded to this application they woukLJ) hea.ring from all the relieving officers (26). —The appliea- tion was referred to the general purposes com- mittee, who will also consider the general subject of the manner in which the relieving of.fcer8 dis- charge their duties.

THE WELSH AMATEUR BOXING I CHAMPIONSHIPS. On Friday and Saturday next a series of boxing ffempetitions open to amateurs only are announced to take place at the Colonial-hall, Cardiff. The competitions will be open to light, feather and middle weights, the prizes in each instance being a valuable silver cup with gold medals for the runners up. Boxing of any de- scription is a safe attractiOb; for the multitude at Cardiff, but on this occasion they are provided with a complete noveltv. No competitions of such a character have ever been held in the town before, and the fact that the winner at each weight will be entitled to style himself Welsh Amateur Charnnion should lend increased interest to the affair. Mr H. "Wheeler, Oastle-road, is acting as hon. secretary to the promoters, and from him further particulars can be obtained. The proceeds, we should state, will be devoted to charitable purposes.

A GOOD SIGN OF THE TIMES. I At the usual meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians held to-day, presided over by Dr Paine, a report was submitted which showed that the return of outdoor relief for the seventh week in the present quarter indicated a general decrease compared with the corresponding week last year, as follows :—No. 1, including St. Mary's, Canton South, and Penarth, 78 decrease in individuals ayid:66 4s 2d in cost No. 2, Roath and St. John's South, 102, and £ 6 17s 4d No. 3, St. John's North and Canton North, 41, and B2 Is 4d rural districts, 7, and £1 Os 8d total decrease, 228 in persons relieved and £1635 6d in cost.

A NEW DANGER IN THEATRES. A curious case is occupying the attention of an eye physician in Berlin. A Government official suddenly fell ill with opthalmia, and a specialist was called in. The physician came to the con- clusion that the sickness had been communicated to his patient, and asked the latter whether he had recently been in the society of any person suffering from disease of the eyes. Thinking for a moment, the patient replied that one evening, while at the theatre, he sat next to a lady who appeared to him to be suffering from an affection ot the eyes, and that she had borrowed his opera glasses. .———.——

STATE REGULATION OF LABOUR. A Disorderly Meeting. [RENTER'S TKLKGBAST. J BREST, Saturday.—A meeting organised by a Socialist journalist to consider the question of the State regulation of labour was held here yesterday. It was so disorderly that the police intervened, and the meeting finally broke up amid cries of "Vive l'anarchie.

THE EXECUTIONER OF BIRCHALL. A Dalziel's telegram from Toronto yesterday states that Thomas Rasley, the man who hanged Birchall, has been obliged to resign his steward ship in the Sunnyside Boating Club, the members of the club having discovered the part played by him in Birchall's hanging.

Tittle Tattle from the "Pail Mall." The distressing controversy over the Rear- guard has been gftScl at any rate for the sale of Stanley literature. Major Barttelot's Diaries are already in a third edition. The books by Mr Jephson and Mr Ward are both in a second edition, where Mr Troup's will doubtless soon join them. Of Mr Stanley's own book, a fourth edition is now in preparation. Why has not Mr Bonny published [a book? He would have secured a great vogue just now. Mr Jameson's will excite great interest also. But they will not contain the alleged Cannibal Sketches." -0 An interesting point in the law and procedure of divorce, which is indirectly suggested by the O'Shea case, is raised by the Daily Chroniclc. Should a divorce ever be granted, it asks, in undefended cases without an exhaustive inquiry into the petitioner's own conduct ? In the O'Shea case the question is immaterial; for Mr Justice Butt and the jury seem both to have been satisfied that Captain O'Shea's conduct was all that could be desired. But, as a general rule, the danger pointed out by the Chronicle seems to us a very real one. So long as the theory of divorce is that it should not be granted if both parties want it, then ought not the Queen's Proctor always to appear in undefended actions to cross-examine the petitioner ? The character sketch in the next number of the Review of Reviews will be devoted, not to Count Mattei, the cancer curer, but to Dr Koch, the consumption curer. Count Mattei s friends are greatly rejoiced at the excitement caused in the medical world by Dr Koch's discovery. When Count Mattei asks the doctors to inquire into his cures, they say, I We could not think of inquir- ing into a secret remedy," But Dr Koch's liquid is a secret too, and yet the doctors are going to Berlin in their thousands to investi- gate it. The powers who arrange such matters are said to have decided that this is to be a great fur year. The heavy cloths of last winter and all the woollen fabrics that were so fashionable, and indeed so pretty, are to give way to fur. More- over, fur is to be worn with variety. In quarter- ing the skins of animals false heraldry is not only to be allowed but to be encouraged. One kind of fur is to be worn with another. Such at least is the fashion at Vienna. Sealskin sleeves to an astrachan jacket—it seems to be flying m the face of nature. But they are doing it already—in Vienna. Here, however, there has been up to this a little difficulty. Ladies' tailors can do a great deal, but they can't control the weather. If correspondents write from the Isle of Wight to say that the trees are breaking into bud, how can the ladies break out in furs ? Peace and happiness reign once more in the regions of Topsyturvydom. The Savoy hatchet has been' buried. To put it plainly, Mr William Schwenck Gilbert and Mr D'Oyly Carte have shaken hands and fallen upon each other's necks —metaphorically speaking. The joyful fact was made known the othror night to the Savoy com- pany, all of whom, doubtless, hailed it with much jubilation. The reconciliation simply means, I am told, that all will go on as before, and that The Gondoliers will not be fated to terminate the phenomenally successful series of operas which have brought fame and fortune in such gigantic slices to our only librettist and our greatest composer. For months past many people have been convinced that the unlucky quarrel had too flimsy a founda- tion to last very long, and now it turns out that these sapient folk were quite right. Mr Gilbert, it is well known, has bound himself to supply the Lyric Theatre with a comic opera, to be written in collaboration with Mr Alfred Collier, next September. In the meantime, no doubt, a new Savoy piece will be laid on the stocks. -0-- The abortive result of the recent trial of the two pugilists Slavin and M'Auliffe was one by no means unexpected by at least one of the principals concerned. It is said that nine of the jury were for an acquittal but whether this statement be quite accurate or not, this is quite certain, that some members of the jury had let it leak out on Saturday night that they meant to say not guilty." In a conversation with a correspondent of this paper on Sunday last, Slavin said that from start to finish the defence of himself and co- defendant had already cost well-nigh £ 1,000, fees amounting to nearly half that sum having been paid to secure the invaluable services of their leading advocate. True it is that a certain sporting peer and an equally liberal parfumeur have found most of this large sum but if the Treasury think it their duty to again prosecute it is almost too much to think that they would again contribute so largely and it is almost equally too much to think that the pugiiists themsel ves could find it unaided. Still, there seems to be no limit to the money always ready to be expendcd on popular "bruisers" by their enthusiastic supporters. -0-- Over thirty years ago," writes Mr J. Cuming Walters in the last number of ladrasil, a stranger came to Caerleon, and without giving his name or stating his errand, took up his abode at the Hanbury Arms, facing the Usk, one of the oldest hostelries in the kingdom. 'Quiet and un- obtrusive to a degrees' said a local chronicler, he soon attracted attention from his very reserved and seclusive habits. It was soon recognised that the stranger was fond of long walks, and there was not a hill in the neighbourhood up whose sides lie did not climb. For a time no companion or friend seemed to notice him, but occasionally a letter arriving at the post-office was delivered to him. At first the name attracted no attention, but at length Alfred Tennyson, Esq. inscribed on succesive missives, seemed to have a special interest for the local postmaster. Some few of the inhabitants still remember the poet residing there, and at the Hanbury Arms the chair whch he chiefly occupied in his apartment overlooking the Usk is still pointed to with some pride. Tennyson's visit to Caerleon (unrecorded by his biographers) is important (says Mr Walters) inas- much as it offers a further exemplification of the poet's scrupulous care in studying details; and it adds to the interest of reading the Arthurian poems to know that he obtained from the genius loci both inspiration and enlightment.

CURIOUS MARRIAGE DIFFICULTY. A singular discussion took place at a conference of the clergy a.t Nantwich last night on the subject of the marriages of boat people. The Bishop of Chester presided. The Rev T. W. Norwood said a couple of boat people on the canal which passed through his parish wanted him to publish the banns to enable them to get married. They had no residence except the boat, and therefore he had to decline to pub- lish the banns. He asked the Bishop's advice in the matter. The Rector of N antwich said that two boat people came to him to be married, and he induced one of them to reside in the parish during the time of publication of the banns. The Bishop replied that the case brought forward by Mr Norwood was so unusual that before giving his opinion he must look into the law on the subject. Of course, couples living together on boats ought to be married.

ILLNESS iN THE CARDIFF WORKHOUSE. To-day, at the meeting of the Cardiff Poor Law Guatdians, Dr Paine presiding, Dr Sheen, the medical officer, reported that a case of puerperal fever had occurred in the lying-in ward, and described the precautionary measures he had taken in the way of isolation and disinfectants. He reported further that all the sick wards in the Workhouse are now full, and in face of the coming winter it would be necessary to prepare, without further delay, a new block for occupation, and to appoint an additional nurse.—The Chairman and Alderman Jacobs supported the recommendations of the Medical Officer, and it was agreed to refer them to the sub-committee of the House Committee, a special meeting of which will'bc called at an early date.

A HOUSE OF ILL-FAME AT I CARDIFF. At the Cardiff police-court to-day—before Alderman Jacobs, Councillor Peter Price, apd Alderman Richard Cory-Martha, Jane Gould was brought up in custody of Sergeant William King charged with keeping a disorderly house in Crwys-road on November 22nd and other dates. The usual class of evidence was given by Sergeant King, P.C. Thomas (40), and P.C. Dingwell. They visited the house on various1 occasions and- found men and women there. There was prac- tically no defence, and a fine of £3 and costs was imposed, or, in the alternative, a month with bard labouc. 1,

I :Alarming War News. I A TERRIBLE BATTLE IMMINENT. I n [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] I iNEW YORK, Saturday.—An alarming telegram from Pine Ridge is published in the Sun, stating that it is probable troops will take the field against the excited Indians to-day. Everything points to a long campaign against the Sioux, who are inflamed at the presence of the coloured cavalry. The situation is regarded as so grave that even old Indian fighters refuse to give an opinion as to the result. They say if the Sioux attack the troops now there will not be a soldier, civilian, woman, or child left to tell the story. Massing the Trooos. Fifteen hundred heavily armed warriors are within a radius of 40 miles of the agency, while the force opposed to them, including troops, Indian police, and civilians, does not exceed 500.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE U SOUTH WALES ECHO." oiKj i was rather astonished, upon reading the Echo of the 19tli inst., to find a most uncalled-for attack upon the Cardiff team by a person signing himself" Hon. Member Gloucester Team," the accuracy of which I doubt very much, because the team sought the aid of R. Garrett, Penarth, being crippled of their own three-quarter, Charlie Arthur. Is it for that simple reason that this envious scribe wishes the team's downfall, or is it that Wales is possessed of two Rugby teams in Cardiff and Swansea that can more than hold their own against their most formidable opponents ? Presuming the natronage of Hon. Member would come from a gentleman, are the lines that he penned the act of one ?—I am, &c., RIVERSIDE, TO THE EDITOLL OF THE SOUTH WAI.ES ECHO." SIR,—" Hon. Member Gloucester; F.C." is, in my opinion, a misleading and a mischievous noni de plume. I cannct imagine that so undignified a protest was ever penned or, conceived by a Glouccstsr man. A petty jealousy, begotten of malice out of defeat, inspired the author. I think wa may look much nearer home for- that very careful "Hon.Member Gloucester F.

Here we are toiling from Monday morning till Saturdaf night, and yet they think we are nothing, while shop girls got more time to run the streets and give us more work. I really think something- ought to be done to show them we are not machines, and have hearts as well as them —We are &c., TWO SERVANT GIRLS. 'BUSES FOR RiVERSIDE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES EOIIO." SIR, -I understood, from the reports of the Corporation meetings which appeared in the Echo some few months since, that the Cardiff Tram- ways Company were going to run 'buses from Canton, through Riverside and Wood-street, to the Docks on, I believe, the 1st of October. It is now seven weeks since that day 'sferived, but never a 'bus has passed through Riverside. If it takes as long for the company to stiH 'buses on that route—comparatively speaking"—as it does for the tramcars to get from Roath to the Docks, it will be this time next year before they run. If they made an agreement with the Corporation to run those 'buses on a given date, why does not the Corporation keep them to it ? They let them off on the Bute-street anair, and it fe* about time now that the company were kept to their agreements, for they seem to carry everything off in a rather high-handed iranner.-I am, &c., CPADDOCK.

THE O'SHEA CASE. j Confidence in Mr Parnell. rm:UTEIÙ; TErÆGnAI.] I Sittirdav.-At a meeting of Messrs Dillon and O'Brien's Reception Committee a resolution was introduced endorsing Mr Davitt's utterances on the result of the O'Shea suit in the Labour World. After an excited discussion it was decided almost unanimously to dismiss the proposal, and a resoluticn expressing confidence in Air Parnell was adopted. Statement by Mr Gill. [RENTER'S I -NEW YORK, Saturday.—Mr Gill, in reply to questions as to the address issued by Mr Cornelius J. Reilly and five other members of the National League, said, What could you expect me to say? Isn't it childlike in the extreme to say that our meetings here have never been under the auspices of the National League, wnen all has been harmony Otnd goodwill. The same feeling prevailed wherever the delegates went, and such being the case I think it un- necessary to notice complaints of persons who evidently desire todrawattentionto themselves and not to benefit the Home Rule cause. Mr Gill denies that he has made any charges against Captain O'Shea, but says if the America,ns were acquainted with him and knew the full facts, they would change thir opinions. The amount svbscribed at the recent reception of the Irish delegates in Jersey City wa,g 3,4-60 dollars.

THE AMALGAMATED SEAMEN'S I AND TRADESMEN'S UNION. I A Stormy Meeting. I The official of the new unionism has often to play the part of a skilful detective, not unlike the representative of what is called "modern journalism." Accordingly, when it Was known that a meeting was to ba held last evening of the Sailors' Society, which is more commonly known as the Boarding-house Masters' and Tradesmen's Union, a sailor, friendly to the National Amal- gamated Sailors' and Firemen's Union, found his way into the assembly by some mysterious means. The assembled directors did not know that there was a chiel amang them taking notes, and, faith, he'll print them. If he did not jot them down on paper, he took a careful mental note of what was going on and reported accordingly at his headquarters. Our reporter has learned the result of his investiga- tions, and if what is stated bq correct the society docs not seem to be in a very flourishing condi- tion. The sailor in question states that the chair was taken by Mr Weeks, and that the financial statement showed the receipts for the week were JB5 9s Id and the expenditure L6 18s, exclusive of salaries. This balance on the wrong side provoked a Ioomplete confusion of tongues, many of those present being foreigners. It was resolved, amid uproar, to forward a petition to Mr Laws for the purpose of his reconsidering tho question of amalgamation with the Free Labour League. It was further resolved to use their best endeavours to persuade all members of the National Union as to the advisability of joining the League, and that they place pickets at the outlying stations to seek men and convey them in vehicles to Cardiff. Sir Graffunder, it is said, proposed to go to the fishing villages and get men to como to Cardiff, their fares to be paid from the funds. He, of course, condemned Mr Wilson's drastic policy. It is further said that of the 54 members present nearly all were what is known in seafaring par- lance as Dutchmen."

CLAIM FOR REPAIRS AT CARMARTHEN. At Carmarthen county-court, on Friday- before J udge Beresford—Messrs Samuel inompson and W. Shaeke]], of Cardiff, brought an action against Mr E. Colby Evans, in which a claim of made for repairs necessary to two houses in Guildliall-square, Carmarthen, re- cently used by the defendant for the sale of stationery, &c. Mr Robinson Smith, Swansea, appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr W. Morgan Griffiths, Carmarthen, for the defendant.—Mr Kobmson Smith, in opening the case, said that a payment of £ 27 6s Sd had been made into court by the defendant in respect of the claim, but when he did that he said he was not liable for that sum. He left it for the jury to decide whether he was liable to pay that sum or any part of it. The agreement made when the houses were leased went to show that on the expiration of the tenancy defendant was to deliver up to the plamtitfs in a, tenantable condition.—Samuel ?rank Thompson, the plaintiff in this action, said he previously earned on business in Carmarthen, :md was the lessor of the two houses contained in the lease, which was for 24- years. At the time it was granted some repairs were done to the prc. mises, under the joint control of Mr Colby Evans and witness, and they paid for them jointly. The tenancy after that. couSnued, and expired last March. Previous to that date he saw the defend- ant, and in consequence of an examination of the premises instructed Mr H o N- e i, n, of Swansea, 011 the 29ih Sept.,to make a survey of the premises. He acquainted the defendant of what he had done, and sent him a copy of the surveyor' s report. Some repairs were then effected by defendant, and he afterwards saw Mr Philip Austin, painter and glazier, of Swansea, and entered into a contract wi}h him for repairs. A copy of the bill of particulars of what had been done was seni; to defendant's solicitor. Defen- dant paid j370 a year rent, and was very sorry when he terminated the tenancy. He got £ 65 a year from them now. The tenancy was yearly. --Afr Howell Watkins, stationer and printer, Swansea, said the houses formerly occupied by defendant were not fit to bo occupied by a fresh tenant whn th lease expired. His estimate for putting tlifcm into tenantable repair ws £22158.- Edward Colby Evans, the defendant, said he lived in the premises in tthiestioii for 15 years. He kept the house in tenanf>vble repair while he was there. During the tenancy he paid £ 43 15s 3d for painting alone. The premises were in the same for ])aintiii- Z, ?eii he left them as when he entered. c- ) n,, 1i* tion Nv He considered that an outlay of £ 3 2s 3d would have rendered it reasonably fit for a new tenant.— W. R. Edwards, a county alderman and a magis- trate for Carmarthen Bt^bigh, gave corroborative evidence. The retired, returned 2J minutes subsequently, with a verdict for J327 6s 9d, the amount paid into court.—The judge having left, the question of costs will be sub- mittad to him by Mr Registrar Thomas Parkin- son.

I SPORTING ITEMS. I A few years ago on the Manchester Cup day a bet produced (on paper) over two thousand millions-" a winter's keep." Tommy Burns, the Liverpool diver and swimmer, jumped off one of the Glasgow bridges into the Clyde on Wednesday in the presence of I a crowd of some 20,000 persons. He was chased by the police on landing, but escaped. Lizzie, the dam of Goodlake, was foaled with five feet, but at the request of her owner, the late Mr Radrnall. the unnecessary pedal addition was removed, and she is now as lively as any other four-footed animal.

At Ilt-rtfovi county petty-sessions, at St Alhr.na, to-ciay, before Baron Dimstlaie, M.P., and other magistrates, Charles Stearmau, a carpenter, giving an aJdress at Camden Town, London, was charged with shooting at five police officers on Siind&v morning last. He was one of three armed burglars, who exchanged ever thirty revolver shots with Head-constable Wood, at Hatfield, outside the entraaee gates to Kaifiold Hatfield House. The other two men escaped into Salisbury The Treasury prosecuted. Sup?uterJ- ent Parish, of Hertford, gave formal evidence of arrest, and asked for a remand to Hertford lock-up in order that he might com- plete his inquiries. Mr Sheppard, for the defsage, assented to this course, and the accased waa remandect.

DR. KOOHS DI-SCOVERY. I [RENTER'S TELEGRAMS.] I J^zhLTK, J? ridav.—At a meeting of the Munici- pal Council of Berlin yesterday, a motion for conferring the freedom of the city upon Dr. Koch was unanimously adopted. It was also decided that, pending the completion of the special State hospital, the premises required by the professor for continuing his researches should be provided by the municipality. A motion to this effect was referred to a committee of ten members, who proposed, in addition, to place the necessary rooms at Dr. Koch's disposal, and to assist him in every possible way in the prosecution of his ex- periments for the benefit- of mankind. The funds required for this purpose were voted. Dir-in^ yesterday's sitting of the Berlin Municipal Council, Dr. Spinola, the director of the Charge Hospital, announced that Dr. Koch considered his labours in connection with tuberculosis as finished. ADELAIDE, Friday. The Government of South Australia has instructed Sir Arthur BIyth, the Agent-General in London, to make enquiries re- garding Dr Koch's cure for tnbsrculosis, and, if possible, to obtain lymph for use in the Adelaide Ho.spital. i ,c,ii cl ocL?Di7.,? to The anxiety on the part of foreign doctors to become possessed of the lymph prepared by DrKoeh is very great, and an Italian physician has o?ered no less a sum than £100 for a small phial of the substance. Dr Koch was on "Wednesday received in audience by the Empress Frederick. Dr Koch is certain that-his remedy will cure consumption, as he had said, but there can be no truth in what is asserted about its being a cure for cancer, as in that case Dr Koch's idea of its being a specific remedy and a differential diagnostic would be exploded. Dr Hince, of Bradford, who was the first E^nglish doctor to proceed to Berlin wit.h patients for Dr Koch, wrrces that he has seen marvellous improvements in cases of tubercular disease'of even 23 ytilr". standing. Mauv English patients are now in Benin awaiting treatment, it is absolutely unknown when a surgery of lymph will be obtainable in England. It may be months or years, and it is therefore imperative that anyone wishing to be treated should proceed to Berlin. Patients should secure apartments before arrival, as the city is crowded with doctors and con- sumptives.

A SWANSEA SALVAGE CASE. On Friday, Sir James Hannen, sitting in the High Court of Admiralty, gave judgment in the salvage action, the owners of the Kildonan v. the owners of the-iiichcape Rack, the particulars of which have been published. The Kildonan, of Swansea, from Buenos Ayres, with coal, came to the assistance of the inch cape Rock, of Glasgow, w hen on a voyage from San Francisco, to Liver- pool with a cargo of wheat. She had lost three of her hands, including thd" mate, who was washed overboard on the 13th April in the present year. Those on board the Kildonan came to the assistance of the disabled vessel, whose compass and charts had been washed away; and supplied her with a compass, thus enabling her to complete her journey. On the conclusion of the plaintiff's eme, .yesterday, an adjournment took place to enable tht; parties to come to a settlement, but on the court meeting this morning Mr Bucknill, C,, on behalf of the defendants, asked his lordship to pronounce judg- ment.—Sir James Majiticn said he was very sorry that he had been cailcd upon to give judgment, because it was unlikely that lie had arrived at the same figure as the parties themselves. There could be no doubt that valuable services had been rendered to the vessel of the defendants. She had lost all her means of navigation—all her charts and her compass; her master had no opportunity in the state of the weather of forming any idea of the position she was ÎIl. III these circumstances the salving ship supplied her with the necessary mens of navigation, and undoubtedly it was done in a condition of risk. It was agreed that there was not any substantial exaggeration 011 the part of the salvors. At the same time the services ren- dered did not occupy any long period, and the pr.lving vessel itself was not exposed to any danger. Under these circumstances, the Trinity Masters and himself had come to the conclusion that the sum of 2300 should' be awarded, and should be divided to the owners of the Kildonan, and £ 100 to the master, who exhibited a laudable spirit, bringing coercion to bear upon some of the crew who showed unwillingness to assist. There was a risk of the captain of the salving shio being lost. The mate would receive £ 50, and the crew, who went in the boat with the compass, except one man who refused, £10 each. —Judgment accordingly, with costs.

THE SCOTCH IRON TRADE. GLASGOW, Friday.—The position of the Scotch iron trade is becoming less satisfactory within the last few days. Large quantities of pig-iron warrants ha ve been pressed for sale, causinsr a very severe fall in prices. The partial recoveries that have occurred in values have, no doubt, tended to check the decline, but there is an absence of influential support for the market, and a large operator has been obliged to suspend pay- ment. A great source of weakness in die market at present is the comparatively trifling decrease in the stocks of pig iron in the warrant stores. Not only is the store iron in poor demand for abroad, but a lerere proportion of it is believed to be unsuitable for use in the Scotcti finished iron works, and Scotch manufacturers are increasing their pur- chases of English and foreign pigs. Shippers of special brands of Scotch iron have had to cancel orders of importance as supplies of these qualities are exhausted. Some makers of bar iron are offer- ing to take contracts for future delivery at 2s 6d below the general price, but the majority adhere to former quotations. The principal Scotch steel makers are well employed, but English makers are bidding for orders in our market at prices showing a considerable decline. 'There is a smart fall in the prices of fuel.

LIFE ASSURANCE IN FRANCE. [UEUTFR'S TELEGRAM.] PARIS, Friday.—M. St. Germain has introduced a bin in the Chamber of Deputies with respect to foreign life assurance companies. It provides that such companies before establishing them- selves in France must obtain the previous authori- sation of the Government, and further that one- half of the amount collected for premiums on policies effected in France shall be invested at French rates. Another clause stipulates that every such foreign society must annually draw up a special inventory of the insurance business effected in France. The preamble explains that France, in view of her commercial war with the United States, ought not to favour the establish- ment of foreign assurance companies.

Bad passing lost the visitors their advantage, Sweet-Escott. taking the ball from Pearson ran well past the half flag. Newport working back to the middle Ingle lew cleverly evaded the Newport halves, and passed to Pearson, who ran to the Nev.-pori 25, but tossed the wildly bttck to Bijss, and so lost a fair prospect of a trv.

STANLEY EXPEDITION. Cannibal Story Repeated LETTER FROM -ASSAD FARRAN. I 3HOCKING ALLEGATIONS. [REUTER S TELEGRAM. ] BOSTON, Saturday.—A letter has just been published here which Assad Farran wrote in July, 1888, to Engineer Camp, of Upper Congo steamer Henry Reed, belonging to the American Baptist Missionary Society, and which was for- warded to Missionary Lewis at Lakunza, who Sent a copy of it to the Rev Mr Merrian, Assistant Foreign Secretary here. In it Assad Farran com- mences by saying that the men of the rear guard had suffered greatly from hunger, having had to subsist upon roots for a year, with the result that many sickened, and a number of them died N from starvation. Major Barctelot, he declares, had plenty of means of preserving the men if he Wished to do so. He had a great quantity of clothes, brass rods, beads, etc., which were the native money, and which he threw away at last. He cruelly treated the men, giving 200 to 300 Stripes a time for small offences, and in some cases even shot them. Tippoo Tib's men, on learning this, refused to go with the expedition. Assad Farran mentions in his letter the case of two deserters from Mr Stanley's force reaching the camp and reporting that seven of their companions had been eaten by cannibals' and refers to Major Barttelot's endeavours to > induce Tippoo Tib to furnish men. Finally he lent Mr Jameson to visit Tippoo at Kosongo. the latter had received letters from Zanzibar Urging him to send men to search for Mr Stanley, as he had been reported to be dead, and he was therefore obliged to give Mr Jameson the men required. On this trip, says Assad Farran, Mr Jameson, anxious to see how natives eat each other, bought a girl and gave her to the natives, who tied her to a tree, stabbed her, and cut her body up and placed it in a cooking-pot. The writer adds that Mr Jameson was pleased at the sight and made sketches of it. The letter mentions the arrival of two steamers, by which about half a load was taken to Bangolia, and says the sick men on board were not supplied with food on the way. This letter has been shown to Mr Stanley, Who pronounced it to be genuine, but 1 Said, Don't make the matter any Stronger Jameson's own letter is the most damaging evidence against him. I would gladly "prove Assad Farran to be a liar, but after Jameson's letter how can I? When Bonny told toe about the trouble I did not believe it. Jameson tvas as nice a fellow as you ever saw, but he did 'lot see things from a humane standpoint. His Science led him away. Jameson was a rich man, and the thought came that perhaps this man was blackmailing him for not paying his salary, I (but the Jameson letter settles it.

DEAN VAUGHAN AND GENERAL I BOOTH. "General" Booth has received the following letter from Dr Vaughan, Dean of Llandaff and Master of the Temple — Dr Vaughan is strongly of opinion that the large and bold ex- periment for which public assistance is asked by General' Booth deserves at least a fair trial, and that the sympathy of all who have hearts to feel for the misery of their people ought to be frankly and greatly accorded to it. When the subscription list reaches £ 50,000 (half the amount required to set the scheme in motion), Dr Vaughan will be glad to offer -250 as a small but hearty token of his interest in its success." Mr F. Peek, of 4-, Fenchurch-street, and a friend h?e also promised £ 2,500 for the pro]>osed 81dters for tho homeless, workshops, home ft? and o?lonia-I aettlement? when actu44. UukcL
