THE LATE MR. WILLIAM. JONES, I M.P. A GEBAT WELSHMAN. I FROM FARMSTEAD TO THE TBBASUBY. I We regret to announce that Mr. William Jones, M. P., for North Carnarvonshire and one of the Junior Lords of the Treasury, died on Sunday at Tendhffryn, Upper Bangor, the residence of his cousin, where he had stayed since he had left Londoa some seven weeks since to recover after the seriotfSiillaew with which he was seized late in January. Mr. Jones was born in 1860 on a small farm near Pdnymynydd, in Anglesey. His family on both sides had been agriculturists for generations and his father dying when he was a young child he removed to Llangefni market town, where be began his education first at the Church and after wards at the British School. At Bangor Normal College Mr. Jones studied for the teaching pro- fession, and his first appointment as a teacher was in Cardiganshire. He served for a time under the London ,Sshool Board, bat ww later ehosen by the Toyabee Hall authorities to atart a summer achool at Oxford for elementary ttchool teaaheM, and this resulted in his taking up hia reaidence permanently there. For several yaara he remained at Oxford, where he met with considerable suc- cess as coach. He maintainen, however, his association with Wales, and assisted Mr. Lloyd George and the late Mr. Tom EllilJintbenational movements of the nineties. Then came his choice as Liberal candidate for Arvon, for which division he was returned in 1896 in succession to the late Mr. William Rathboae, and he increased his hold on the constituency at -'exch subsequent general election. Mr. Jones was a proficient linguist, and as a speaker he had' great charm and persuasiveness. Punch once hit off his oratorical grace in the couplet- 0, William Jones, 0, William Jones. I much admire your silvery tom." In his later years Mr. Jones travelled extensively visiting America with the Mosely Educational Commission and India with the late Mr. Samuel Smith, with whom he was present at the great Dethi Durbar. Many great scholars and teachers at Oxford and many statesmen on both sides of the House were included among his friends. His fluency and ripe memory stored with so much that was interesting ou historical and literary subjects made him a charming canvergatioaalist. He rendered such servioe to the Liberal party that his selection as one of the Junior Lords of the Treasury gave great satisfaction in the House. His work in the whip's office subsequently during a trying period m Parliament history, won for him general admiration, but the strain of it on a con- stitution not very robust certainly told. As a platform speaker none was in greater respect. He addressed scores of great meetings, particularly during the Budget camp tign, on a number of oc- casion taking the place of Mr. Lloyd George when calls of State prevented the Ciiqjacellols ful- filling his engagement*. In the course of a leading article the Manchester Guardian paya It i-i not only in Wales tliat the death of William Jones-noboiy ever thought or spoke of him with a prefix to his name -will pe deeply felt; among members of the House of Commons past and present, and among countless friends scattered all over the Country, there will bp a singular SMiae of loss, even in these days when sorrow awaks upon so many of us. For in truth William Jones was a rare and attractive personality. Like a good many other able Welshmen—like Mr. Lloyd George him- self—he had risen from the ranks, and by the aid of the admirable Welsh educational system and the Welsh enthusiasm for education had passed from the elementary school to the university, and thence to the House of Commons. For many years Parliament and Oxford shared his time and his labours. The week was given to the affairs of the nation, the week-eudto earning a modest pittance—members were not paid in those days— Ott his u-iiveriity, whence the explanatory ov hon- orflc addition of Oxford" by which he came to be distinguised from doubtless a good many othei William Joneses less noteworty. He spoke seldom in the honse, but never without effect^ for be had a singular charm of manner and a native gift of eloquence, and an background to those, wide knowledge, a cultivated taste, and command of vidid illustration and apt analogy. He spoke simply and from the heart, and could vise to a high level of appeal. There was no one quite like him in these respects. Perhaps for earnest- ness and for a high sincerity lord Hugh Cecil, when he forgot to be a partisan, most resembled him. His selection in recent years as-a Junior Whip was only a small recognition of his constant service both in the House of Commons and, as a speaker on countless occasions in the constituen- cies. Few members of Parliament can have been more widely known. But his work in the Whips' office, though performed with a diligence which, it may be feared, told at last upon his health, can never have been wholly congenial. His gifts were the gifts of the soul and the imagination, and it is grievous to think that the light of this fine spirit has been so early quenched. The body of Mr. William Jones was taken from Pendyffryn, his cousin's bouse at Bangor, at 11 30 on Wednesday morning, for Llangefni, where the interment took place at 1 SO. A memorial service was held at the Welsh Chapel, Charing Cross, London, at the time of the funeral. I SELECTION OF A SUCCESSOR. J- It is understood that until the end of this week no IlIteps will be taken by any of the political parties in the Arvon division to deal with the question of a successor. Under normal con- ditions the Conservatives would have been prepared to put their candidate forward, but at present a contest is highly improbable. It is possible, however, that the Ltbour party may claim to be recognised as an important, if not the determining f actor in the selection of a successor. As recently as last week the conference of the North Wales Quarrymeu's Union pissed a Resolution intimating its intention to nominate a candidate whenever the opportunity occurred in Arfon, Eifi,,n, or Merioneth, and as the elate quarrymen are in the majority among the working men, it is inferred that the nominee of the Qaarrymeu's Union will be accepted by all the other Labour organisations.
