The House of Commons yesterday had quite a miscellaneous programme before it, the champion questioner of the session, Mr. Weir, the member for Ross-shire, taking up the lion's share of the time. When the sitting was drawing to a close, Sir William Harcourt proposed that the House at its rising adjourn to May 29, which gave Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr. Chaplin the opportunity to refer to the backward state of publi- business. The armoured ironclad Audacious grounded on soft mud off the Isle of Grain, Shec ess, yesterday morning, but was expected to float with the rising of the tide, and aid so, without any damage being sustained. Mr. J. H. Wilson, M.P., lay all day yesterday in it very critical condition. So little hopes were entertained of his recovery that his relatives were summoned to his bedside. His illness is attributed to his exertions during the Hull strike. The execution of Robert Gay, forgeman, of Horwich, condemned to death for the murder ,of his infant daughter, has been fixed for the 30th inst, Lily Goodwin, aged sixteen years of age, was found yesterday in her bedroom so seriously injured that her recovery is despaired of. The ,?uiids are SMd to have been inflicted bv her step-father, whohas disappeared Jeav saying he intended to drown iimX?a'note inind, it is feared, is unhinged by the recent I. f hi..?,?,,nd wife and lfe sufferings of .his own five children by his first marriage through his being long out of work. A telegram from Leipsic yesterday an- nounces that in consequence-of the explosion of a railway engine boiler at Ilmenan five persons were killed on the spot and eight fatally injured. Joseph Spellman, a member of the Operative Bricklayers' Society, yesterday recovered, in the London Sheriff's-eourt, £8 from Arthur Cole, a builder, for false imprisonment on the change of being a picket. At a new first meeting of the creditors of Mr. Horatio Bottomley hold yesterday a state- ment made by that gentleman as to his present position was received with considemb?e satis- faction, and the meeting was adjourned for two months to allow him to go to Vienna to arrange with the vendors of the Hansard Union. The terms for the resumption of work at Hull were agreed upon in conference yester- day, and being ratified by the mass meeting of dockers last night, the strike is ended. Mr. Hughes, second mate of the Cardiff steamer Iolo Morganwg, during the present out- ward voyage of that vessel, has been washed overboard and drowned. Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Lewis, of Cardiff, was yesterdaY,ted by the Court ofUivorcea decree nisi, with c*sts, e against her hnaband, a wine merchant'. traveJrer, on the ground of adultery and desertion. The demand for money continoed on a very, moderate scale in London yesterday. Rates were still arm. Disommt. r9led about 4k for' first-elass three montw acceptances. A' further general Í!JIFO' took place iwtoe stock market, b6k bodum enft*Ry was somewhat restricted. At CWJ tb. further recovered'yestet'day, and a considerable amount of business was douo in local and general shares.

A day or two ago the Westem Va ?l com- Ad :i the e4Torts of Mr. HBNEAOB and two or three other members of Parliament to have the expenses of port authorities in endeavour- ing to keep out cholera thrown on the Ex- to k.? it is most desirable that the demand should be put before the Government as early and as strongly as possible, for if the port authorities are left in uncertainty as to whether the whole burden of these extra- ordinary sanitary arrangements will be left for them to defray, there will always be a danger of sacrificing effectiveness and completeness from a false idea of economy. There is, of course, no economy under any circumstances in risking the public health, but in this par- ticular matter of preventing an invasion of cholera it is equitable, wise, and prudent that the whole taxation of the kingdom should bear a burden which is for the common advantage of the whole popmation. Only the other d%y we argued the question in some detail, but really the justice of making these cholera pre- cautions a national and not a local charge is so thoroughly self-evident that it is a waste of words to enlarge upon it. We expect that every Parliamentary representative o ,rSouth Wales and of all constituencies between the Bristol and the English Channel will respond to the request made to them in the circular which they, like all other members of the House of Commons, have received from Mr. HBNEAGE. To keep the cholera swily from our shores is quite as much a national necessity as to keep away an armed invader, and the diity of sharing the costof needful defence ought to be as cheer- fully accepted in the one case as the other. The important thing, however, is to have whatever in r" may be cecetMtry to ensure this being d=brou,?t before Pui?ament promptly, with the support of all parties, simply as soond finance.

ITHE WHITSUNTIDE BANK HOLIDAY.I
THE WHITSUNTIDE BANK HOLIDAY. To-day we begin the Whitsuntide Bank Holidays. Thanks to Sir JOHN LUBBOCK, we all get a bit of a rest and change; iioine longer than others, of course, but, at any rate, we all have a taste of what it is to cease from toil. Railways aud steamboats, competing one against another, have made it comparatively easy for us all to get away from the surround- ings to which we have been tied during the long, dark winter, and note for our- selves what land and sky and sea are like as seen from the Welsh mountains or the rocks of Devonshire. We have no patience with the people who are always ready to praise the places in which they are not. In England the talk is always of holiday in France; in France they talk of Ger- many; in Germany of Italy. We are too pr-One to feel perpetually discontented with what wo see, and to long for places too far away for average people to reach and return from within the space of a Whitsuntide Bank Holiday. Sweet are the songs of Egypt—on paper," says honest Jack Ladyard, in his travels. "Who is not ravished with gums, palms, dates, figs, pomegranates, cassia, and sycamores, without recollecting that amid these are dust, hot and fainting winds, bugs, mosquitoes, spidors, flies, leprosy, fevers, and almost total blindness ? Let those travel to Egypt, then, who cannot exist without seeing monuments erected by tyranny to the frantic demon of superstition." Why should anyone in South Wales wish to traverse dis- tant regions in his Whitsuntide Bank Holiday ? Or why should we picture foreign lands in our newspaper articles and our conversation, and neglect the lovely haunts that abound within a run of at most two or three hours ? Hundreds will visit the Alps and the Rhine from South Wales who would not spend a groat to see the glorious Vale of Neath, the majestic railway route to Talyllyn, the ruined castle of Caerphilly, the mystic lake of Llangorse, that exquisite gem of architecture at Tintern, or the heathery paradise that sweeps in unbroken beauty for mile on mile during autumn along the upper reaches of tho Wye; nor the sylvan recesses of Dean Forest; nor the charming rock-bound shores of Somerset and Devon. The pretence of these runagates to foreign lands, who can see nothing to admire at home and among their own country people, is that at Whitsuntide and at other Bank Holidays crowded trains and steam- boats full of ordinary working people have nothing about them enjoyable. But, still, for the sake of the hard working multitude, we are grateful for the Bank Holidays given to the shop girl and the clerk, the mechltBic and his jaded wife, the artisan and his little child by Saint LUBBOCK, for they have put rail- ways and steamers in friendly rivalry to see which can carry these homely people furthest and quickest and cheapest from home that they may she what the world is like a little away from the places associated with their daily moil and care, and, though a Bank Holiday crowd is not comfortable or eon. venient, it -is always worth a good deal to a naturally generous-natured, happy-hearted man or woman to see others enjoying them- selves who deserve to do so, though they may seek their pleasures by methods that differ from our own. There will be romance enough in every train that runs through South Wall g daring these Whitsuntide Bank Holidays, and on every steamer that plies to and fro across the Channel. In our own lives and in the lives of those around as we may always find some- thing of the romantic wherever we arc. To-day for a little while we begin a truce to politics and bHsiness. But the business man may well ask himself if this Whitsuntide Bank Holiday does not, after all, pay for itself by the refresh- ment of the workers in body and mind, and so jnetify the politicians who invented it. The wonting man during hia brief run to Ilfracomhe, or Minehead, or Bnrnham, or Weston may well be struck with the thonght that the good time coming which sages and poets foretold, though it tarry long, is after all slowly dawning. A Whitsuntide Bank Holiday. Since when have toilers had that ? Express railway trains and luxurious steam vessels to carry horny-handed workmen hundreds of miles for a merely nominal sum Who could have dreamed of that a hundred years ago ? Surely none of us are so blind as not to see this Whit- suntide Bank Holiday that the world is brightening, that life is becoming better worth living; that without Socialism, without revolution, without any attempt to take the Kingdom of Heaven by violence, a happier day has dawned already on the part of the race which earns its bread in the sweat of its brow. We are very well content for the masses to enjoy their Whitsuntide Bank Holi- day. Every new possibility of enjoyment put within their reach is one more means of niaking them happy, contented, and conserva- tive-better citizens and better units of social life.

The Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway Company directors have Won fairly and squarely all along the line in their conflict with Great Western monopoly, and there is some talk oflionouring the victors in their hour of success by a public function of some sort. The disaffected members of the trustees' sub- committee—whose conduct we have more than once commented upon-appear to ha k t up their opposition to the last, and it is reported that a number of unpleasant diøcuøsion, cul- minating in a threat Eyl the Rhondda Compa y :i: the ;e!g:e: their PâfJ, took place in the course of the negotiations. 'The wholematter, however, having now been settled, "the least said the soonest ?mended' will, we think, be the motto most worthy of adoption. We tried. ;all &long ob=" to Mbtr the bot we gave them credit for sincerity in ttt?My did. It. bwommivable that men like Mr. Th?Mf <t? 1&, C? YM could have tMttedMthtydH?BttM they retUy believed am the mmm *"Mona seas themselves of dangerous powers and to endanger certain existing interests of gret im- portance. But we believed they were "'1"6 III their action, and that the argumentb lor free access to Swansea overbalanced everything they could put in the oppo- site scale. The" two-thirds majority" works no harm to anyone, for if any really threatening contretemps oocurred we are < 011- viueed that tlie trustees of the Swansea Har- bour would be found on the i-iglit side to the extent of at least two to one, Such a connection as Swansea will now have is bound to increase her trade in time, and, besides this. the com- petition instituted with the Great Western liailway Company is bound to be of immense value to the western portion of industrial Wales.

The proposed harbour trust for Cardiff is a matter of supreme importance. Indeed, it is not too much to say that it is scarcely possible for those who live to-dav to gauge the immense meaning of all that is invoh-ed in that enterprise. It is, 'e,?tly, very for- ,l:rit a:d¡ff CO7$rlenir'e v:ilr. Ithe knowledge of Mr. J. M. MACLEAN,acquired by experience in the city of Bombay, which in a good many respects resembles, so fu as this particular matter of harbour accommodation is concerned, the greatand thriving community in which we live. The interview published to-day elsewhere in these columns between our London correspondent and Mr. J. M. MACLEAN is so full of facts and figures, 80 full of expecta- tiolls realised, diftlclilties surmounted, "lItici- pations exceeded, that there will be everywhere in Cardiff perfect unanimity of opinion that it will be well worth the while of those who have this matter in hand to secure his services still further as a helpful guide in the great enter- prise which is so intimately connected with the future of Cardiff. The physical oonagur&tion of Bombay, the argument that n large body of still ".t?, Such as ""? l?. e to ?: ¡orrfftta¿ tliJ:C OiIOSc extendij outwards from the Bute Docks to Penarth Head means unhealthincss. the bogie of expense- all these alarms Mr. MACLEAN in his own person experienced and triumphed over in Bombay long ago. and the result has surpassed the most hopeful dreams of the most hopeful dreamers of that time, as they were considered. The sorest point of all, that of voicing and protecting all inte- rests, has been overcome fit Bombay, MI", MACLEAN shows lucidly, although the (govern- ment is the controlling power: so that if the Government can effectually con- serve and advance all interests, so CMI the municipality of Cardiff. The way in which the trade of the port, of Bombav has prospered under the new arrangement reads in the interview with Mr. MACLKAN like It fairy tale. We leave the figures to speak for themselves, but. after reading nil that he has to say, we feel sure in Cardiff there will be general agreement with Mr. MACI.F.AN when he says. "Something of the sort carried out in Bombay is necessary in Cardiff, where the object of a trust is to equolise as far as practicable the revenue and the expenditure and to prevent too many and constant changes in the rates."

The three magistrates w ho sat on the Cardiff bench yesterday surelv doubly hlunclerecl in calling back the landlord of the Grange Motel and censuring him severely for selling drink to II girl of thirteen for consumption off the premises. The eagerness to censure a trad("sman simply because he is in a particular branch of business was in itself a great mistake, for it seems to imply a bias, a prejudice, against that particular calling, and that is most unfor- tunate on the part of dispensers of justico. It so happens, however, that in severely cautioning the publican—who. by the way, was assisting the guardians of the law by giving evidence as a witness in a matter unconnected with either his house or tracle- against selling liquor to children under thirteen years of age they ware outstripping the require- ments of the Licensing Acts. There is no law in this country against publicans selling anything they deal in to a child of any age to be taken away for consumption. All the statute says is that licence-holders shall not be allowed to sell a child under sixteen years of age any intoxicating drink for con- sumption on the premises, which isaveryright and proper law. We know there are people eager to make it illegal to serve a child sent upon an errand with what it has been sent for to the public-house, but the proposal is so ex- treme and so ridiculous that it is not law yet nor in the least likely to become so. Under the circumstances, therefore, the Cardiff bench have taken upon themselves to go beyond the authority of the law in rebuking, not only the proprietor of the Grange Hotel, but all publi- cans, for there is no publican that does not do what he did—supply a child with what it is sent for. We await with some curiosity a correction from the bench, equally public, of this bad exposition of the law.
ISIR EDWARD REED AND HIS I…
SIR EDWARD REED AND HIS CRITICS. THE DEFEATED RESOLUTION OF THE ADAMSDOWN NINE. A CLEVER REPLY. A CLEVER REPLY. SIR EDWARD CONGRATULATED BY RADICAL M.P.,S. In writing to a correspondent Sir Edward Reed says that the action of his critics lind opponents in Cardiff is of the most puzzling nd unintelligible character. It is, indeed, incom- prehensible. He cites liS an example the reeo- Intion moved and apparently supported by nine votes-but defeated by nineteen—in the Adams- down Ward on Wednesday evening. This reso- lution, says Sir Edward, express-s entire disapproval of his attitude towards tlie Home Rule Bill. But his attitude towards this Bill has been to vote for its first reading, its second reading, its first clause, and its second clause-in short, to vote for it at every point thus far. He has never yet spoken an unfriendly word of the Bill as it is. And yet his attitude towards the Bili-which has been that of uniformly supporting it-meats with the "entire disapproval" of these nine friends of the Bill. "Ido not profess to know what these gentlemen IDPan," says SirFAward. "Iftlieyhad said they do not approve of my attitude towards some threatened alterations of the Bill which some members are trying to force Mr. Gladstone to adopt, I could have understood them. But, then, unfortunate-ly,they could not have reminded the hon. member of his promises and pledges,' for my promises and pledges have all been diametrically opposed to these threatened alterations. It is astounding that these gentlemen do not Bee that every criticism which I have uttered in Parliament, properly Understood, has been calculated to help Mr. Gladstone and to resist those foolish and reeldesH men who are urging him to the ruin, not only of his Home Rule Bill, but of his Administration and of all the hopes that we have rested upon it. This is perfectly well under- stood in the House of Commons, and many good Liberals and Radicals, who thoroughly understand the situation and are anxious about it, have heartily congratulated me upon my promised resistance to those fatal alterations of the Bill to which some theughtless and unre- flecting members are still urging the Prime Minister."
EXCITING AFFAIR AT I MAESTEG.
EXCITING AFFAIR AT I MAESTEG. A BOY LOST IN A COAL MINE. I Early on Friday morning Maesteg was in a state of excitement on hearing that a boy named George Cox, Bridgend-road, aged fourteen years, was lost in No. 9 Level, the property of North's Navigation Company. It appears that on Thursday the boy was sent by the collier with whom he worked for a sleeper." It is sup- posed that the boy's light went out, and that he wandered into the workings in the darkness. Ho did not return, and a search on Thursday night and Friday morning failed to discover him. It is reported that his track has been followed to an old working, which cannot be entered until the gas has been mmovail

One member of the Govern, meut. has sent in his resignation, five GU4. stonians have voted against the Goverrmwt or spoken in opposition to vital principles of the Bill, and important secessions from tie party have taken place in different parts of tfc country. The Unionists have good reason tt keep up their courage. I 8m WILLIAM HARCOCRT EXCISED# IflI I 1-CSTKVCT10N8.

I OFF FOR THP HOLIDAYS. The desultory discussion arising out of the motion to adjourn over the Vhiisim holiday was tftken in the usual good-humoured win iå which Parliamentarians slop into the holidays. 4ir William Harcourt came down to ang*W the gentle criticisms of Opposition mental wearing.. very hrond sn;ile and n special whill waistcoat. Oddly enough. the debate tailedol irom affairs of high Imperial interest into the subject of swine fever, and in the odour at "wine fever the House went about its holi- days. To By UP AUSTRALIA. Ir. Tom Wilson, the great backer of faxourites and the plunder par exctU^nce of the tnrf, i,. I hear, t.lki??,g nerioutdy of going out to the Antipodes and buying up tb* whole shoot." to ItFe all expressive vulgarism. He hns tnken notes, like Captain Cuttle, of the 6ituatioii in the Australian Colonies, and is thinking that there is a fine opportunity for a man who has" the ready and who would not look for any return from his investments in ths immediate future. There is no doubt that the crisis in Australiu. will afford many opportunities of the kind, which will not be missed by cats speculators. Things v. ill be dirt cheap in the Colonies for some time to come. 1- chatting onT the malter yesterday with Mr. Pritchard Morgan. who oùght to know some* thing about Australian affairs, find be expressed to me his opinion that with tea million pounds you might e^ily purchm forty millions of asaets in the Colonies at the p7 ( sent time. A rni1\ionaire. indeed, lihe ML Astor might almost buy Australia outright! THE CHAMPION "HHKXR." Ty the way. Mr. Tom Wil,.i?, the most ..0- ee&sful backer of h.?. on the t.?-f now, ha built up his own fortune in a very remarkubet manner. He was educated nt Edinbur University, and was intended for the legal pro- fession. feut he went racing, and at ones concluded that it was possible to make noW by backing horses, despite the fact that tbt bookmakers appeared to be the only cia.. whs eventually came out on the right ide. Thuk with no capital to epesk of, Mr. Wilso entered npon his career aM It backer of horse8, Rnd beforc many years lie came to the front as about the most successful meing mm of his time. He has succeeded, not primarily by the aid of mere luck or fortune, but by his pencil, his book, and his brain, as he put it the other day to a friend. The successful backed of horses may almost be counted on the liugefl of the two hands. But not one of them has achieved the gigantic successes of Mr. Wilsoe. He stands in a class by himself. UiTOPllARITY OF fH* (IOIFRVMPNT- I was not surprised to hear from a Unio" candidate, who is fighting a gallant battle is an almost hop,.j"i<J-" CJaùstonillD constituency, that the most uujjopulov plauk in the Govern- ment platform is lie Local Option Bill. Home Rule stirs people to a splendid euthnsisSB when the evils of that wretched measure Me expounded in great meetings. But the wrong aud bitterness of Home Role doe8 not. come home to the mssssi naturally. It does not affect then personally in the me W¡W does Lood Option. The masses e. app-?i.te. ith teaching a proposal to rob the poor mar of his beer; but they cannot realise as vividly the consequences, remote to the., of the tcrribli act of revolutionary wreckage Air. Gladstone proposes t. i.fli,t u Irelan d It will, there- f;lo8 :vt:: for l;d:. it the iniquity of Home Rule, not to forget tie side issue of Local Option. BEHRNRE SF-A ARBITRATION CiSE. It becomes more and more certain as the Bebring Sea ,bitrti- CHse between Great Britain and the United HtAt.es proceeds that the latter have not in reality a rr, to 1-d upon. Experts in the aUe? h,) thoroughly well posted in all the details lie confident that Great Britain is bound to come out of the oase with flying colours. But ttat will not be immediately. The length of "the argument" is appalling, and it looks as th-0 the decision could not be given this sumawr. The arbitrators, after counsel on both sides have talked themselves out, will, I understand, call in one or two experts, such as Sir George Baden Powell or the American Commissioner to clear up points which are left in doubl Considering that the èOWISel employed bJ Great Britain and the United Statl.;f! respw tively give totally different tales, it is not sy prising to hear that the arbitrators get a trift mixed as to the true facts of the case. A COLONY AT ST. STEPHEN'S. The colony of pigeons which have eetdII down at St. Stephen's is said to be in d-ngfr. I do not mean that any crisis is threatening them snch as that which has come upon till Australian Colonies. But ttrare is a plot to Or terminate them. The officials whose duty itb to look after the Houses of Parliament 80 much distressed at the way in whieh tblw pretty and very tame blue-rocks deface If their BMt.-tMtMing propensities the wttt? and M<th<tect<u? bestios ef the great buildings at St. Stephen's, and it has be* suggested that the only way to 00- the evil is to destroy a Isrg* proportion Qf the birds. Certainly, the liwj* creatures seem to have no-respect whatever for the sacred character of the great buildings st Westminster. They have calmly bailt tMIr nests again this year as usual on the she." and, in some instances, even on the crowj4 a number of Kings of England. The FAwwb are greatly affected bv the blue-rocks, sea Charles II. bears a great mass of dittv straw and dt/jris on his kingly shoulders. I imne, however, that the officials will lie juatifted in destroying the birds unlie, the lm as it at present stands. It will be within the memory of some bird-loyers that there we* serious offence oommitted in this rsapest* while ago in the esae of thp pigeons at I** British Museum.
