I EXPENSES OF PUBLIC MEN. I WHAT THEY DO AT CARDIFF. II ALDERMEN AND COUNCILLORS I INTERVIEWED. The question of theallowances made to public men for expenses in connection with business of corporate and other bodies which was raised at Swansea tbo other day, being of suoh general interest, the matter has been followed up at Cardiff with the following result:- On Monday (writes a representative of the if extern Mail) I interviewed some half-dozen members of Cardiff County Council on the subject of the allowances to deputations who make excursions, at the expense of the town, either on Parliamentary business or for the pmpose of inspecting" parks, baths, clcctric lighting, or other public works in English or Continental towns. I find those allowances are strictly limit-id to expenses, and consist of first. class railway fare, together with a guinea a day for hotel expenses and any charges incurred for cabs or posting. Members of deputations arc allowed their guineas for days spent in travelling, thus if a journey was commenced on the afternoon of one day and the deputation reached home on the morning of another day, they would be allowed) a guinea for each of the half days, as well as for thoso intervening, There is no disposition to regard these allow- ances as excessive-inded. they could har tie regarded in that light. Indeed, so members of Cardiff deputations complain tha Why an Alderman's Expenses are heaTY. their expenses generally exceed their allowance -though, singularly enough, the names of thes gentlemen constantly reour in the list of dep tations-and others point out that their absen on deputation work has frequently caused them considerable professional loss. The only suggestion of extravagance mad t) me consisted of the opinion expressed by some members of the council that deputa tions are sent about the country more frequently than is absolutely necessary, and that a larger number of gentJemenare appointed on such depu- ations than are really needed. There also exists a uspicion that the item for incidentals H- cabs, carriages, telegrams," &c., as the par- ticular bill of charges most frequently referred to on Monday puts it-lends itself too readily to ornamental treatment. A further element of dissatisfaction is found in the alleg-a tion that the circle from which deputations are selected is very limited, and that some dozen or so of the corporation share all the honours of his kind between them. Of course, a wide divergence of opinion is believed to exis amongst the councillors on these points. Tht members of some committees, notably the core poration pic-, I beg pardon, Parliamentary committee, and the raozzle-dazzle-I mean the lighting committee, are supposed to hold very Why Councillor Beavan's Expenses Bills are low. bread views on the subject, while others outside those committees hold strong views. I cannot say that my inquiries altogether confirm this classification. The first man I met on Monday was Mr. Frank J. Beavan, a member of the Parliamentary committee, who, after i.f.?mi.g me of the amount actually allowed, remarked The allowances would have been higher but for me. Some members, such as Alderman J- and others, complain that a guinea a day does not cover their expenses, but I find it ample." "Ob, well," I remarked, "you can easily imagine items which the gentlemen you name would incur that would not be found in your bill of expenses." My view," saidltfr. Beavan, is that except where the business is urgent no deputation should be sent unless the matter be first brought before the council. I have urged that, but the committees will not have it." The next man interviewed, Councillor parry White, was (I regret to say) in a very hilarious mood. He oould scarcely be got to take the matter seriously, but when he got into the swing of the thing I had to complain that he took me a too seriously, for I could not get a word in edgeways. He did not, he said, believe that deputations Me too numerous, either in their personnel or their frequency, nor are they toohighly paid, and, with his hand on his heart (figuratively epeaMng), he a very Hilarious Mood. I declared he spoke with a clear conscience, fer, though a member of the Parliamentary com- mittee. hc had never ened on a corporation deputation. Somewhat mystified as to what he meant by a clear ronsciencein such ? connection. T l,ft the councillor ?,,ith ',h?, ,ymh.li, 0: purity, and sought Mr. Morgan Morgan, a atem'jcr of the !i};hti)? committee. He also -tppcaro? in a. flippant state of mmd -tho?h I maybe, he was but 'i?i,tliig to keep his uouMEn np. He d?,,I?,?,d he had nevcr hoard of the pic.nie committee, and vowed Iw did not know the meaning of .z4e-dazzif, said he was not used to very choico !fU)?!?c in the conno) chamber, and begged me at tetxt ?o keep up to that st.mdMd. Here, aMiu, I regret to say, I found no evidence of a reforming spirit, despite the imminence of November 1, of which I duly reminded him. Ho did not, he said, discern any particular in respect to the question under discussion which should bc ..b. jected to change, and, with a solemn cOlmte. nance, hea180 olnimed .1 a clear conscience" on tho same ground as that urged by Conncillor White, adding (somewhat pathetically), When I want an outing I have to pay for it myself." I next saw Councillor Short, who remarked, when the subject was introduced, i4 I have ideas on the subject, but. untortunately, I shall not be in the next council to work them out. I have tried to get particulars, but have failed. The bills require careful analysis. For instance, ¡The X21 7s. 5d. for Crockery might h&ve been MVen if Councillors carried their own mugs. the town-clerk's bill is often much higher than thoso of ordinary members of the deputa- tions." 44 What do you suggest? That items are in- cluded in the town-clerk's account which should be in others r" Certainly." Mr. Short then directed my attention to varions items in the last published borough accounts, amongst them being .£21 7s. 5d. for "crockery" in connection with the opening of the Cantreff Reservoir, and another for £19 12s. 6d., described as oxpenscs t pays." Of these, Mr. Short remarked, the ordinary councillors were not furnished witli particulars. "The accounts simply come before a com- mittee," added Mr. Short, and that committee do not take the trouble which should be talien in analysing them." "Well, what about these deputations I asked. Are they too numerous or too frequent ?" 44 If deputations are sent at all, I don't think the numbers are excessive," replied Mr. Short. But what is the good of sending men who are not experts to view works, seeing tllat we L-i. lo? :etr;rie;s7f)d' sieil ¥aek:Ir.¡ advice. Where i 3 the advantage of emploving experts, such as the borough engineer and Mr. Massty, if we cannot trust them to advise us ? If deputations are sent at all they should be composed of men with practical knowledge, such, for instance, as Alderman David Jones as a builder: Nlr. T. H. Riches as an engineer; and Alderman Sanders as a financier. At present they are principally drawn from a very narrow circle of non-practical men. while schemes are sanctioned by committees of liko character on the advice of the experts engaged by the corporation." I finished up the series of interviews with a chat with Alderman David Jones, who said the explanation of the "crockery" item was that articles to that amount were purchased for the use of the corporation at their annual inspection of the waterworks-the arrangements being really in the interests of economy. The expendi- ture at pay.-s (Alderman Jones explained) is simply the expenses of the clerk, who pays the men periodically at the works. Alderman Jones added that he did not regard the cxpenditme for deputations excessive, and remarked that, in his own case, the last time he went on a dep't"tion he lost about fourteen guineas pro-| fessional fees in a matter in whielg he was en- gaged. His own impression was that, except in cases of ut-ger,ty, the question of send- ing a deputation always came before the council for sanction beforehand. Deputations were chiefly composed of members of the Parlia- mentary Committee or of the eommittees chiefly concerned with the busiuess on hand. A good deal of jealousy had been exhibited when small deputations had arranged matters in dispute, and consequently deputations were made larger and more representative. THE DISBURSEMENT TO A SWAN- SEA HARBOUR TRUSTEE. Mr. David Harris, in the course of an inter- view on Tuesday in relation to the disbursement to Alderman Walter Lewis, said:—"The case is far stronger than I had reason to believe it was. What do you think I find ? Why, that the amount which Alderman Lewis has received in connection with the matter is, not £80 17s., but iCl22 17,1. Ou November 30 of last year ho received as personal expenses R30 10s. on May 31, for services rendered, £80 17s. and on June 3, £10 10s. for personal expenses. I cer- tainly intend to pursue the matter. The pay- ments were never authorised by the trust."

Mr. Forster stated that the prisoner was apprehended on a warrant on the charge which had just been read over. Mr. Knight was a justice of the peace for that city and the general secretary of the Boilermakers' Society. With the consent of his friend, he proposed that day to simpJy give formal evidenre and ask for a remand for a week. He would, therefore, put in only one letter and prove its receipt.

The letters were ad- dressed "R Knight. Esq., Impostor-General, Boilermakers Society, Lifton House, Eslington- road, Newcastle." Detective Carson stated that he arrested the prisoner on a warrant at his residence No. 2, i Dudley-place, Cardiff, and brought him to New- castle. He made no reply 011 his reading the charge over to him. They arrived at Newcastle at eyen o'clock on Tuesda.y morn-ing.

In the meantime, however, he would ask also that the case should be adjourned formally for a week. This was agreed to by the bench, it being un-1 dderstood that counsel would be engaged in the case a fortnight henoe. Bail was allowed, the prisoner himself in £50 and two sarctics of £25 oach.

I COLLIERY AMALGAMATION I IN SOUTH WALES, D. DAVIS AND SONS AND TYLORS COMBINE. AN OUTPUT OF TWO MILLIONS A YEAR For two or three days whispers of an im- portant amalgamation of collieries in South Wales have been heard on the Cardiff Exchange, The possibility of a combination between North's and International having fallen flat, other fields were sought which might produce some excuse for the rumours which have been floated. There need not be any further trouble. We are in a position to state that Messrs. D. Davis aud Sons (Limited) have taken over the property boloneing to Messrs. Tyler and Co. These companies hold all the properties between the National and Mardy Collieries, and the output of the two collieries at the present time is close upon 2,000,000 tons. New pits are being sunk, and there are indications that D. Davis and Sonzi, who will now have the minerals under 3,000 acres, and cover a distance of over two miles, will greatly improve their property by the annexation referred to. Meniirs. Tylor's is private property, although for con. venienee of workiug it is under the form of a limited liability company. Messrs. D. Davis aud Sons' undertaking was formed into a limited liability company three years ago, with X675,000 capital, £ 450,000 of which was in 910 ordinary shares and X225,000 in 5 per cent. debentures. Ihe company has paid 10 per cent. dividends since its formation.

AMERICAN TIN-PLATS I TRADE. INTERESTING FIGURES AS TO THE MARKET. ALLEGED RAPID GROWTH OF I THE INDUSTRY. Special Agent Ayer has submitted to Secre- tary Carlisle, of the United States Treasury, a report on the production of tin and terne platen in the United States during the quarter ended .J uno 30. He savs the aggre. gatfc output for the quarter, was 41,866,042 pounds, of -ligiltly more than 49 inr f,n? Am(,,i(-aii Muck I)Iate. The tin and terno plates manufactured during the fiscal year 1892 aggregated 13,606,71!), of which 9,296.553 were from American black plate ami 4,350,166 from foreig-n black plate. Thaw manufactured during the. fiscal vear 1893. aggregated 99,819,203, of which 43,599,724 were from American plate, and 56,219,477 from foreign plate. There were 5,620.867 pounds of American sheet iron and steel made into articles and \yare-s tinned or terne plated during t-lie fiscal year 1892, and 8,802,681 pounds made during 1893, making the aggregate manufac- ture of tin and terne plates iu tJie United States during the year 1832, 19,267,586 pounds, and during 1893, 103,621,885 pounds The total number of American plates used 18 follows: 1892, 14,917,420 pounds, and 1893, 52.402,405 pounds. The total pro- duction of black plates during the fiscal tear 1893 was 63,681,541 pounds. The output of tin and terne plates proper of the lighter class during the fiscal vear 1893 was 93,850,487 pounds, showing an excess over and above what may be termed the one-third requirement of i4,542,548 pounds. This, the report says, is exclusive of the manufacture of American sheet iron and steel inane into articles and wares, tinned or terne plated. The product from American pit during 1893 of the kind subject to comparison with the net importations was about five- eighths of that necessary to enable meeting the one-third requirement, comparison being made with the net imports in the fiscal year 1892. Mr. Aver then presents figures showing the imports and exports of plates from the United Stat. and says: "This will indicate that the entire consumption of the United States during the fiscal year 1893 was 720,000,000 pounds, of which more than 15 per cent, was of American manufacture. It was shown in my report, dated April 26, 1892, that during the three fiscal years ended .Tune 30, 1890. there were imported and entered for consumption in the United States of tin and terne plates, and of the taggers' plates an average of 678,000.000 pounds annually."

D'OYLY CARTE OPERAS AT CARDIFF. It is indicative of the good judgment of Car- diff that it should accord such flattering recep- tions each night to the operas which are being presented this week at the Theatre Royal. On Tuesday night the building again presented a crowded and brilliant appearance, Iolanthe evidently baring a firm hold on the public. There is scarcely need to indivi nall! upon the characters. At any time it is rendered an uneasy task when such un.. form excellence is the wb:riss Cockburn as Phyllis, and Miss Dorothy Vane in the title role, Iolanthe, won every favour, the latter especially by the correctness of her intona- tion. Messrs. Richard Clarke and J. J. Fitz- gibbon gave artistic presentments of the two earls. Everything has been prepared and arranged on a magnificent scale, so that there can be nothing but satisfaction. The Gondo- liers is to be given to-night.

The revision court for the Caerphilly Division of fcast Glamorgan was held at the Police-court Caerphilly, on Tuesday, Mr. Arthur Lewis being the revising barrister. Mr. J. F. M'Clune Con- servative agent, appeared on behalf of his party while the interests of the Liberals were looked after by Mr. Charles Morgan. All the Conser- vative claims, with the exception of those which wero pre-dated, were allowed.

CONTINUATION SCHOOLS A.T NEWPORT. GROCERS AND THE CO-OPERA- TIVE PRINCIPLE. At the monthly meetings of the Grocers and Provision Dealers' Association recently held at Cardiff and Newport strong protest was made against the teaching of the co-operative principle m board schools. As stated in Tuesday's Western Mail, what has raised the opposition of the grocers is a book which is in use at the continuation schools at Newport. This book, in teaching the duties of a citizm, advocates the advisability of the co? operative principle in the production and distribution of cmmm wants. This teaching, the grocers think, will tend to transfer their custom to the co-operative stores In support of this opinion, an addrese was delivered by Mr. Gower, of Cardiff, at the above-mentioned meet*-ls, urging upon those interested in the trade the necessity of preparing a case for pre- sentation to the Education Department. The suggestion was approved of, and a committee, consisting of the president and six members, was apppinted.

Jenkins presiding.—Mr. William tivans, "j.tant miners' agent, dealt with the necessity of or- ganisation. and vindicated the principles of the sliding-seale. With reference to prices, he showed that dissatisfaction wa? not limited to South Wales, as eren the miners ia England themselves were (iis (i. It-Ir. BVILns said 40 per cent, was claimed by the federation. In Lancashire 40 per cent, had not been made, as, owing to the deductions in tim- bering, &c., the percentages had been taken away, so that tho amount of 40 per cent. was nominal.—Mr. Abraham then addressed the meeting, and said the sliding-scalo had served them well so far. Whatever system they chose they, as leaders, were ready to help them, only let them be decided as to the course. Ho recommended the hauliers not to work in contrast to the colliers, but be injuiiity with their fellow-workmen, whose sympathies were with them in any of their grievance., THK PROPHET OF THE WELSR COAL TRADE.

SIR JOHN GORST AND THE UNEMPLOYED. Sir John Gorst addressed a meeting of working men at the Central-hall, Slioreditch, on Tuesday night, on the subject of Labour and the Unemployed." He said he had been taught to believe that, unless some cure was found for the present state of things, the present social order and the present society could not possibly con- tinue in existence. The cause of the unemployed was the congestion of unskilled labour in large towns, due to the fact that there was no work in the country. The remedy was to get people back on the land by offering them attractions for the investment of their savings in small holdings.
