ABERDARE BREWSTER SESSIONS. I The adjourned Licousiog Sessions at Aberdare, which could not be completed on Tuesday, WM continued to-day. Mr R. T. Rhys applied for a double licence for the Welsh Harp Inn, Trecynon, the holder of which has only a beerhouse licence. Mr Kenshole opposed on behalf of the owner and tenant of the Cross Inn, a double-licensed house next door. Mr Kenshole applied for a double licence for the Glandover Inn, Gadlyn, Mr J. W. Evans opposed on behalf of the lessee of the Mackworth Hotel and the owner and tenant of the Heathcock notel. Mr Kenshole applied for a licence for the Beehive Inn, to which there was no opposition.

Soudan Expedition. THE CAPTURE OF DONGOLA. OAIRO, Tuesday.-A native has been arrested at Alexandria for being in possession of ten okes of dynamo (an oke equals 2%;bs). One is inclined to ask if this is a result of Mustapha Kernel's crusade. New clothing is being issued to the troops at the front, who are awaiting offioial decision as to their future movements. -L)aily Telegraph, FLIGHT OF DERVISHES. Narrow Escape of a Leader. (SPECIAL TELEGRAM tlTOM OUR CORBKaPONDKNT.] DONGOLA, Tuesday.-The gth Soudanese Bat- talion, Major Pain commanding, and the 2nd Egyptian Battalion under Major Shekleton, are leaving here for the south. The new gunboat, commanded by Captain De Rougemont, R.N., and manned by a company of Engineers under Rekiugton, and 200 Soudanese under Fitz- olarence have returned here, having reached Merawi, and brought away a number of prisoners, including Osman Azrak's wife and son, who were taken by Rubertsou, commanding the gunboat Metemmeh. The party just failed to oapture Wad el Bishara, the Dervish commander, and Osman Azrak themselves, both of whom escaped from the house where they were only a few minutes before Robertson entered. All the prisoners confirm the report that the Dervish mounted troops are making direct for Omdurman across the desert, and that the black riflemen are retreating in a line parallel with the river, to which they descend from time to time for water. The Sirdar's arrangements for the distribution of the troops have not yet been made public, but supplies are being hurriedly pushed forward for the use of the garrison in the south. It is hoped, however, that in a short time the greater part ot the necessary supplies will be furnished by the fertile province which the expeditionary force has conquered, The cable between Werma and Hafir which was laid with the help of the North Staffordshire Regiment is now operating successfully, having answered all the usual electrical tests. The work was superintended by Lieutenant Maniford, R.E. Lieutenant-Colonel Parsons, R.A., is now en route from Cairo to take up the command at Suakim. THE COST OF THE EXPEDITION. PARIS, Tuesday.—A telegram from Cairo says that Lord Cromer is considering the introduction of fresh taxes with the object of defraying the expenses of the Dongola expedition and raising the four million francs which will be annually required for the administration of the province of Dongola alone. Among others, it is proposed to levy a stamp duty, which the British officials contend can be done by merely issuing a decree without demanding the consent of the Legislative Council. The French authorities are of a different opinion, and hope to be able to prevent the imposition of the duty in view of the suocesa of the opposition to the proposed duty on patents 10 1893. Dalziel. RECALL OF THE STAFFORDSHIRE REGIMENT. Reuter's Agency learns there is no ground for the suggestion that fears are entertained of a disturbance at Cairo and that the North Stafford- shire Regiment has been recalled from the Nile on account. SIR H. KITCHENER'S PROMOTION. The appoinbment ot Sir H. Kitchener to be major-general in the Army was gazetted on Tuesday night. %The promotion is described as for distinguished conduct in the field, and in recognition of his services during the recent operations on the Nile,"

The men resent the suspension of their delegates, which is the cause of the trouble. The number of men thrown out of work is practically 3,000, and the stoppage of the works represents a loss of wages to the amount of £14,000 a month.

I CARDIFF EXHiBI HON, I The Cardiff Exhibition is graced this week bl the presence of the celebrated band of the Royal. Marines, of the Plymouth Division. Owing tc the unpropitious weather their performances take place in the central building during the afternoou, and in the evening they give a promenade concert in the spacious hall. The pieces they eeleot are of the brightest description, taken from the most popular composers, and played with perfect finish. The whole of the members of the band, have a thorough grasp of the com"eet meaning, and under the skilled leadershir of Mr Frank W inter bottom, the voriow- items are rendered in a manner worthy of the highest praise. A feature of the evening's concerts is a grand naval fantasia entitled Life on Board a Man o' War," com- posed and arranged by the leader. It is descriptive of a scene in the period of the good old days," commencing with early morning, two bells, bugle at daylight, the operation of clearing the decks. the enemy sighted, and a regular action. Of course it is necessary that th* attacking boat should win the victory, and t chorale of thanksgiving, with the post prandial proceedings, and a spirited chorus, with grand finale, concludes a thoroughly enjoyable fantasia The band is one of the best, possibly the best, that has yet visited the Exhibition, and visitors go away rejoicing at the rich musical treat. Theatre Royal Athletic Sports. The 4ix-.Ii annual sports held in connection with the Cardiff Theatre Royal takes place to-morrow on the sports arena of the Cardiff Exhibition.

AN AMERICAN iiTORM. I Terrible Devastation, MANY LIVES LOST. I HOUSES WRECKED AND SHIPS I DASHED ASHORE. NEW Yoaa, Wednesday Morning. One of the fcost disastrous and widespreading storms that has ever visited the United States devastated a great portion of the Continent yesterday. Along the ontire Atlantic coast the full effects of the hurricane were experienced. Bouses have been blown down, ships dashed bore. and very few of the telegraph lines have escaped the almost universal destruction. So only far the most mekgre bulletins have been received, but a message which ce by round- about means from Savannah, in Georgia, at 2 D'elock, stated that in that; town alone sbven people had been killed and the damage to property Amounted to a uiilliou dollars. It was, however, !eared (bat much greater damage had been done in the surrounding districts. A private despatch from Brunswick states that several lives have been lost there, and the damage in that city exceeded 400,000 dollars, At Baltimore houses in the streets were stripped of their roofs, many walls were blown down, and the wind force was so great that the water in the harbour was driven over the embankments into the streets, and the entire water front was submerged and houses flooded. From Reading, in Pennsyl- vania, it is announced that two persons have been killed by falling wreckage. One huge chimney stack of a factory has been blown down in the bigh wind. In New York itself the storm has been accompanied by a terrific dolnge of ram. No telegrams at all are coming through from the South of Philadelphia, and great fears bro entertained as to the amount of damage which has been done in the distrusts boyoad that town.

A GRANDFATHER'S GRIEF. I A Sad Story Told at Newport, I A sad story was told to the magistrates at the Newport Borough Police Court to-day regarding Henry Bowles, sawyer, of 15. Bishop-street, Newport, who bears an excellent character. Some two months ago Bowles, who is an elderly man, buried both his father and mother, and last Sunday he buried his grandson, who was just on three years of kg(,, and who was tho child of his only daughter. The child bad frequently stayed at his grandparents' house, and Bowles became deeply attached to it, and felt ita death acutely. On Monday evening, to drown bis sorrow, he Went in for bout of whisky drinking; and in tho evening he was found sus- pended by the neck by a cord and strap which he fastened to one of tho rafters of the Water closet. lie was out down by a neighbour, and police and medical nssistanco was sent for. On the arrival of P.O. Perry, Bowles, who had regained consciousness, drew a clasp knife and id that he did not mean to live through the night. He was then removed to tho police cells, and this morning ho appeared in the dock, having fully recovered from the effects of the drink, and he promised not to repeat the attempt on his life. Bowles's wife and daughter the latter of whom was in deep Inourning-,slso appeared in court, and both were deeply affected. Deputy Chief Constable Brooks tola the Court that the defendant was "steady fearrl-working man, who had been in his situation lor 15 years. The Bench exacted a promise from the defendant that he would sign the pledge, and then discharged him, and he left the court with his wife and daughter.

NEW HALL FOR CARDIFF. I The Long Desired Big Place." I TO SEAT NEARLY 4,000. I Mneh has been said and written from time to thne as to the need in Cardiff of a meeting-place I far larger than any of the halls at present avail. Able; and particularly has this subjeot been discussed with relation to musical festivals, at which it is desired to gather as great an audience loll possible, 10 that the unavoidably heavy ex- penses may be the more readily met. Till now the matter has gone no further than the stage of talk. We have to-day, however, to announce that plans have been prepared for a large new hall capable of accommodating between three and four thousand persons, on a central Bite, easy of access, and specially designed accordant with all the latest ideas for serving the requirements cf great "diene". Mr Solomon Andrews, with characteristic enterprise, has undertaken the Project, and the large ball will be erected at the Mar of his new buildings in Queen-street, access being gained through the small arcade there and fclso from Park-lane. No effort or expense is to be spared to make this additional meeting-place la every way suitable for its purpose.

THE LOSS OF THE SALUS. I A Cardiff-Bound Vessel. I [GPKCJAL TELEGRAM TO THE "ECHO."] I Intelligence has reached Drogheda of the loss of the barquentine Salus, 264 tons registered. Captain Kearon, and eight of the crew, during the recent storm. The vessel left Arklow a week ago for Cardiff, and has not since been heard of. It is believed the Salus is the ship which went on the rocks off Pembrokeshire and disappeared on Friday last. The bodies of two men, supposed to be members of the orew, and Daptain Kearon'a flannel vest have been washed ashore near the scene of the disaster.

SIR WILFRID LAWSON, M.P., DRAWS A I PARALLEL. Sir Wilfrid Lawson referred last night at a temperanee metjng in Penrith to Armenia. and its parallel in lSngland. He hoped working men would not fall the next House of Commons as this was with brewers' agents and pot-boilers." They heard day by day about Armenian horrors, and their hearts were wrung, with the awful raeords laid before them. They literally gnashed their teeth that they were in the impotent, helpless position in which they found themselves by seeing horrors which (bey were unable to do anything to stop. But let them turn from what they could not do to what they could do. Let them denounce the Turk as much as they might, but let them see that their own hands were clean. The licensing laws of England were responsible for the crime, misery, and wretchedness which existed, and as a oonsequence they saw a welter of crime, outrage, and misery which were a blob on national life and unworthy of a free and Christian nation. Now, When they were thinking of the Queen's glorious reign, was the time to put forward their final oftrb to make England great, glorious, and free.

tUBONIC OUTBREAK IN INDIA, I BOMBAY, Wednesday.-The Government have appointed a committee to inquire into the bubonic outbreak here. Army orders have been issned to the garrisons, placing the city of Bom. bay out of bounds both for British and native troops until further orders. Dr. Dutt, the specialist appointed by the Calcutta Munici. pality to investigate tho outbrealc, has arrived here. Further rain in Northern and Central India is now regarded as beyond hope. The post tion is serious. -AWuter.

MR GLADSTONE AND THE SULTAN. Action for Libel I PARIS, Wednesday.—A correspondent writing in the New York Herald says that he has certain knowledge that the Sultan has been strongly advised to bring a criminal libel action against Mr Gladstone for calling him The Great Assassin." Whether the advice will be followed or not the correspondent cannot say.—Dalziel. PROVOKING RACIAL HATRED. I Alarm at Constantinople. I CONSTANTINOPLE, Monday.—The police con- tinue their old tactics daily of alarming Christians and exciting Moslems by fresh discoveries of bombs and explosives. At the present rate of progress before another month passes they will have proved every Armenian church, school, and warehouse to be a revolutionary arsenal. Foreigners may smile and regret a dis- play of energy so tardy, but the Sultan's policy is thus ably executed by N azim Pasha, who sows a rich orop of hatred between Turks and Armenians, and excuses his arrests, tortures, and banishments. It is amazing that the Powers fail to see the perilous situation being created, for the meanest self-interest requires the tying of Abdul Hamid's hands before he completes the destruc- tion of what little systematic government still exists. No day is allowed to pass without an unfounded warning of some terrible calamity being circulated. Last Saturday a Christian family of my acquaintance was advised by a Turkish friend to leave their house in the Turkish quarter with the significant observation, Nobody can say to what lengths the Sultan will go now he sees Europe does not interfere." The large European colonies here reasonably complain of the apathy their Governments display in leav. ing them to the mercy of the gang of brigands whom Abdul Hamid has chosen for his Ministers. -Daily Chronicle Correspondent. THE SITUATION AT CONSTANTIIIOPLE. I Armenians Condemned to Death. I CONSTANTINOPLE, Tuesday.—The mission en. trusted to Artm Pasha, namely, to arrange a basis of reconciliation between the Armenians and the Government, makes hardly any progress, apparently on accounb of the smaH number of signatures hitherto appended to the Armenian address expressing devotion to the Throne, and to the fact that up to the present the promised irade ordering the execution of reforms in all the Asiatic provinces had not yet been promulgated. Artin Fasha to-day assembled a number of Armenian notables at his house to confer with him on the subject. Diran Bey, a son of Artin Pasha, starts to-day on a special mission to the Foreign Armenian Com- mittees, whom he is to try to conciliate, The meeting of the National Armenian Assembiy, for the election of the new Patriarch, has been postponed in accordance with the decision of the Patriarchate, which does not consider the present momont opportune. The Extraordinary Tribunal Ministry of Justice to-day condemned to 15 years' hard labour the first Mussulmans who have been sentenced for the murder of Armenians during the recent disorders. On the other hand the whole lisb of Armenians suspected of having participated in the Armenian coup which preceded the massacre have been condemned to death. They include one Armenian, who was given up by the Belgian Legation on oondition that after having been examined he should be released. The Belgian Legation has now sent an energetio note]) to the Porte demanding his liberation, since nothing has been proved against him. Artaki Nouradounghian, another Armenian notable, and like Apik Eppendi Oundjian, arrested a few days ago, a member of the governing body of the Central Armenian school at Galata, has been arrested, the authorities suspecting both of belonging to an Armenian committee. The British Post Office here to-day sent abroad the last of its Armenian employees, owing to the recent discovery of treasonable placards in Stamboul. A number of Softas have been arrested and deported to An&Wlic-&uter. An Armenian Band. I ATHENS, Wednesday. A telegram from Larissa, published by the Áaty, states that a band of 15 Armenians has been formed in that district with the object of entering Macedonia. The Prefecture took rigorous measures to prevent the promoted incursion, but in spite of this the band went to Trikkala, and is reported to have succeeded in crossing the Turkish frontier. A semi-official denial is given to the statement that the Foreign Ministers here bad made representation to the Government regarding the Armenian refugees now in Greece. The Govern- ment will expel foreigners who threaten to disturb the friendly relations with the Powers.— Reuter. France and Justice. I PARIS, Wednesday.—The Matin says:—"By M. Cambou's interview with the Suitau, France has found the means of intervention demanded by Mr Gladstone, bub not indicated in his recent speech and thus France can again claim the honour of having effectively taken up the cause of justioe and humanity, Dalziel. Sir William Haroourt. I We may remind our readers that Sir William Harcourt has arranged to address his constituents on Monday next, Oct. 5, when an important pro- nouncement on the Eastern question may be expected. Sir William Harcourt, we may say, has desired to postpone his utterance nntil he could review the entire question with complete- ness. His sympathy with the agitation is com- plete and thorough, and we may expect to see him fully identify himself with its aims.-Daily Chronicle. AN ORIENTAL JACK THE RIPPER." A town's meeting was held at Huddersfield on Monday night to denonnoe the Armenian atrocities. On the motion of Sir J. T. Wood- house, a resolution was passed recording indigna. tion at the massacres and assuring the Govern- ment of strenuous support in any measures for ending the cruelties and securing future protec. tion. Sir J. T. Woodhouse described the Sultan as an Oriental Jack the Ripper" and marble- hearted monster." The portals of the Porte were worm eaten, and in the deep recesses of the hill itself they would find none more cruel than the Sultan.

The Mayor hopes to take a cheque for a substantial amount to the meeting on the 19th as a practical proof of the sympathy he has happily assisted oo evolve from Newport and the rest of MoomouthehiM MEETING AT NEATH. I A crowded meeting was held at the Gwyn 1( Hall, Neath, on Tuesday night, by invitation of the Mayor (Councillor Hopkin Jones), who had been presented with a requisition signed by a number of ratepayers asking him to give the town an opportunity of expressing its horror and indignation at the Armenian atiooities. The Mayor presided, and seated with him on the platform were the ex- Mayor (Councillor Hopkin Morgan), the Rev. Edward Morgan (Congregationalism), the Rev. T, W, George (Baptist), the Rev. Wm, Davies (Baptist), the Town Clerk of Neath (Mr E. C. Curtis), Mr T. W. Jones, Councillor E. S. Phillips, the Rev. Hopkins (Baptist), Mr Frederick J. Gibbons, and Mr James Edwards.

Rowo Evans, the Rev. James Owen, Mr J. E. Moore, Alderman Isaac Evans, Dyffryn, and others, who had been expected to speak. The Rev. Edward Morgan offered prayer. The Mayor, iu opening the meeting, commented upon the present crisis as being very grave, and huggttatpd that the destinies of the country were in safe and able hands. The Rev. T; W. George, in an able and impassioned speeoh, moved the following resolution That this meeting of the fnhn-bitauite of Neath ex. presses its abhorrence at the inhuman atrocities practised upon our fellow-Christians in Armenia by the Turkish authorities, and assures our Government of every support in its endeavour to put an end to such cruelty, and to devise means for preventing its recurrence and further that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Prime Minister and to the loco repre- sentatives in Parliament. The speaker urged patriotic and humane considerations, and higher than either, the im. pulse of Christian feeling to which the people of this country should yield themselves. The people of England were in honour bound to protect the sufferers, and as England had inter. posed before single handed, so they should aghin in the interests of the Armenians,— Councillor B. S. Phillips seconded. He said that he had been so moved by the blood-curdling narratives of the doings of the Turks which had appeared in the newspapers that, lover of peace as he was, he felt that he could arm him- self and go forth to fight the abomin able miscreants.—Mr Fred C. Gibbins supported the resolution. He said he believed that a peaceable mode of settlement of the difficulty would be found, and it would meet his views if the word peaceable were introduced into the resolution. Possibly he should stand alone in that view, and he should be sorry if by any word of his he should throw the apple of discord into the meeting. He had great hopes of good results following the visit of the Czar of Russia to this country.—The resolution was carried unanimously and most enthusiastically. —The Rev. Edward Morgan moved:- That a collection be made in this meeting for the relief of the destitute, the victims of outrage and massacre in Armenia; and further, that every Christian Church in the town bi asked to take up a special offering in their respective places of worship on any convenient Sunday for the same beneticentand humane purpose. Councillor HOPUN MORGAN (ex-Mayor) seconded. Other gentlemen having spoken, bhis resolution was also carried with enthusiasm. The customary votes of thanks closed the meeting, OTHER LOCAL DISTRICTS.

WATERLOO COLLISION. I Board of Trade Report, I The report of Major Marindin in reference to the railway collision which occurred at Waterloo stabion on August 21st, is issued by the Board of Trade to-day, A pafsenger tram to Portsmouth was run into by a gshunting engine, and another engine following the train also collided with it. Major Marindin declares that both the first and second collisions were caused by want of care on the part of the two drivers, He reaommends that the company shall put in a shunting neck, so that engines which are to be shunted on sidings can do so without danger of fouling the passenger line. l\hjor Marindin adds that it was most improper to allow the engines to shunt out past the signal at danger. The arrangements, he recommends, will prevent the recurrence of such a collision.

The officer referred her to a lodging house and escorted her into the street, bUt Mrs Healey returned and insisted upon stay- ing the night, and she was lodged in the cells and thus obtained her desire. The Bench now dis- charged her.—Jane Jones next came up from the cells, and it was explained that yesterday morn- ing she left Cardiff for Pontypridd to visit bar daughter, but got into the wrong train and found horseif at Newport, where she was g;ven some drink by another woman, to whom she told her troubles, with the rosult that the drink overcame her, and 'she was lodged in the cells.

Fashionable Weddings. I MORGAN-BUOKLEY. I At St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, London, on Tuesday afternoon, pleasantly situated under tbe shade of the historic Abbey, and in the presence of a large assembly of South Wales families, many of whom had come to town specially for the occasion, the marriage took place of Mr D. Hughes Morgan, eldest son of Mr David Morgan, of Talog, Llandovery, and nephew of Colonel John Moigan (hon, colonel 1887 1st Volunteer Battalion South Wales Borderers), DJj. and J.P. for county Brecon (High Sheriff, 18S8, and Mayor of Brecon 1883. 1884, and 1887, 1888, 1892). of Brecon House, Brecon, and grandson of the late Mr Morgan Morgan, of Ciiposte, county Car- marthen, and Miss Blanche (Daisy) Buckley, eldest daughter of the late Mr Jamc-s Buckley, J.P. for counties Carmarthen and Brecon, of Bryn-y-Caerau Castle, Llanelly, Carmarthenshire, and granddaughter of the late Mr Joseph Josephs, F.S.A., and J.P. for county Brecon. The service was fully choral, and the church handsomely ornamented with tall palms banked with white plants, while the altar vases had been specially refilled for the occasion. The nuptial ceremony was conducted { by the Rev. J. F. Duncan, M.A., of Whitwelll Herts, assisted by the Rev. C. A. W. Rob;ns, of St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, HEITZMAN—RAMSDEN MORLEY. On Tuesday, at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic j Church, Penarth, the marriage was celebrated of I Miss Sophie Maiy Heitaman, second daughter of I the late Mr Raymond Heitzman, of the Holmes, t Penarth, with Mr Kenneth Ramsden Marley.

Her bridesmaids were her two sisters, Miss Heitzman and Miss Lydia Heitz- man, who wore extremely becoming gowns of cream satin, deep-frilled chiffon fichus to the waist, where they were kept in place by wide pale-blue ribbon sashes, the ends reaching to the hem of the skirt. The large black velvet hats with feathers had two small bows resting on the hair at the back, They carried beautiful bouquets of pmk roses, and wore blue enamel and diamond brooobes, the gift of the bridegroom. Mrs Heitzman wore a black gown, the bodice trimmed with JOB embroidery.

MR J. H. HECTOR. A Notable Missioner at Cardiff. I To-day (Wednesday) the Rev. J. H. Hector, of North Carolina, will arrive in Cardiff in order to deliver two of his well-known lectures in the Cory Memorial Hall. "The Black Knight" of iem- p-ranee reform, as Mr Hector is popularly styled in his own country, he being a. full-blooded negro, is one of the most impre-aive orators of his time. RUV. J. U. BacToll, I He possesses, besides, a keen sense of humour, and sustains the interest of his auditors to a degree few can equal. and none surpass. Above all, he is thoroughly in earnest. "The Black Knight" was Fraternal Delegate to the Wesleyan Conference at Livarpnol from the African Methodist Episcopal ZIon Church of America, and is financial agotit for Livingstone College, Salisbury, North Carolina. This collfge was founded by the late Dr. J. C. Price with subscrip- tions which he received from friends in England Who were in sympathy with the education and uplifting of the coloured race. Mr Hector is now in England to solicit aid for the erection of industrial and educational buildings for the purpose of educating the hands as well as the heads of the people. His life story is a remarkable one. He passed a youth of vicissitude, hardships and privations such as few have experienced. Later he fought in some of the fiercest struggles of the great American War, and was five times seriously wounded. Subsequently, as an engine-driver, he had many a perilous experience but he came through all to be a converted man, an earnest Christian, a successful minister of the Gospel, and one of the most effective advocates of Prohibition and other moral reforms. As an orator he has been described as a phenomenon, carrying his audience along with him by a tornado of eloquence, humour, and pathos that is fairly irresistible. His originality, wit, readiness of repartee, and intense earnestness quickly open the way for the shafts of truth whioh he hurls with consummate tact and telling force. Everywhere he goes he captures the hearts of the people, rouses their sympathies, appeals to their best nature and purest motives." 1 he title of Mr Hector'e addross in the Cory Memorial Hall to-night is The Devil Dressed in White." To-morrow night he will relate the thrilling Story of my Euly Life."

I RANJI, IHE ilUN-GEITEtl. I I Toasted at Cambridge, I There was a remarkable assembly at Cambridge on Tuesday evening to do honour to R. S. Ranjitsinhji, the famous ex-University and Sussex cricketer. The Mayor presided, and was supported by most of the notables of Univer. sity. town, and county, aud many cricket and athletic celebrities. Letters of apology were sent from the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Rutland, Earl Sheffield, Dr. W. G. Grace, Lord North, Lord Harris, Messrs A. G. Steel, A. S. Stoddarb, Mitchell, S. Woods, C. B. Fry, A. J. Webbe, and others. Dr. Grace wrote that Ranjitsinbji well deserved the compliment that was being paid to him. Mr H. Musgrove, the manager of the Australian team, wrote that if Ranjitsinhji could be induced to visit Australia they could assure him of a hearty welcome.—Sir John Gorst, in responding for the tcast of The Members of Parliament," said that the guest of the evening, in his short life. had done a great deal to promote good feeling between all parts of this Empire.—The toast of Our Giierit was proposed by Dr. Butler, the Master of Trinity, who spoke of Ranjitsinhji as a product af the attempt to engraft the manliness of English publio schools in India. He hoped the one result of their guest's success would be to so foster the game in India that it might be possible to send a team of oricketers to England and the Colonies. Napoleon, when before the Pyramids in Egypt, said, Soldiers, 40 centuries look down upon yon," and since the year 1891 their guest bad looked down upon 40 centuries.—Ranjitsinhji, who was tremendously cheered, briefly returned thanks, and hoped that England and India might long remain united by the strongest ties of oommon interest and affection.

NEWPORT & CAERLEON RACES I Important alterations have been made on the well-known course by the Usk, between Newport and Caerleon. in preparation for the Tredegar and Llangibby Hunt Raoes. The committee have been at great pains to make the course as perfect at possible, and a good deal of money has been spent upon levelling, draining, bridging the dykes, 4c. Where the course crosses the river a bridge of sleepers well laid with solid earth has been made, and the ground at all the jumps is now firm, thanks to filling and rolling. After all the improvements which have been made, the going will be excellent, and it is a remarkable testimony to the efficiency of the draining that after all the rain a naturally wet course is in splendid order. It seems as if no possibility of accident exists so far as the fences and ground are concerned, and owners of steeple chasers and hurdle and flat racers need not fear to enter and run their horses at Caerleon, A new hurdle race coarse is being laid down, and so far as the work has proceeded at present, there is no doubt that it will be an excellent one, Possibly a two-day meeting will be arranged, and in that case the support of the publio is certain. Probably Lord Tredegar would be inclined to help the committee by changing the date of the meeting of the Tredegar hounds from Friday to Sturd

NtWPORT MAYORALTY. J A movement is being initiated to invite Lord Tredegar to become Mayor of Newport for the ooming year. The National Eisteddfod will be held at Newport during the next mayoralty, and it is generally felt that no better selection could be made than that of the descendant fof Ivor Hael. Should his Lordship be averse to taking the position and its duties and responsibilities, the other pgKsiblea include Dr. Garrod Thomas, J.P., an4Mr Thomas Goldsworthy, either of whom, by universal consent, would do worthily in the position of hoaauc.

CARDIFF MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS I REPRESENTATION OF SPLOTT I WARD. A representative deputation of residents ifi Splott Ward waited on Councillor Andrews at his residenue in Newport-road on Tuesday evpning, and presented him with a requisition, signed by about 500 electors in the Ward, asking Mr Andrews to abandon bis intention of retiring from the Council, and to agam contest the Ward at the ensuing election. Several of the speakets referred in appreciative terms to the valuable services Councillor Andrews had rendered to the Ward and to the town generally. Mr Andrews, in reply, stated that he had intended to retire from municipal life, but after the representations that had been made to him from men of all shades of political opinion, and especially the influential requisItion he had so unexpectedly received, and the very kind expression of appreciation of his public services, he readily placed himself in their hands and would contest the Ward against any candidate who might think 6t to oppose him. CENTRAL WARD LIBERALS. I MR LOUIS SAMUEL SELECTED. I Mr Alderman David Jones presided on Tuesday evening over a meeting of Liberals of the Central Ward. held in the Association Offices, the sole business being to decide whether the ward should be contested in the party interest at the forth- coming municipal eleotion, and to choose a candi- date. It was unanimously resolved that the seat should be challenged, the strong dissatisfaction (even among Conservatives) with Mr Waring, the present member, making it more than probable that the fight would this time be a viotonous one. Mr Louis Samuel suggested the name of Mr F. Jotham as the Liberal candidate; but that gentleman, being present, at once stated that he could not entertain the sug- gestion, inasmuch as his duties in connection with the Glamorgan Council absorbed the whole of his time. Upon the motion of Dr. Buist the meeting then unanimously invited Mr Louis Samuel to undertake the Liberal battle, and that gentleman said that there being no other nomina- tion he should be pleased to accept the invitation. The course of future procedure was subsequently discussed, and a further meeting of workers at an early date was fixed. Mr Samuel has been for 48 years resident in the ward. He is connected with the Atlas Furnishing Company, whose large premises in the Hayes are so well known, and he has for many years taken active part in local affairs. All present in the meeting pledved themselves to heartily assist the new candidate, and there was an evident intention to make a strenuous effort to change the partisan com- plexion of the Central Ward, Mr Samuel himself being clearly determined to completely organise and carry through the work. I RIVERSIDE WARD. I The Liberals of Riverside Ward are benb upon I regainiug for the party the seat about to be vacated by Mr Beynon Harries, and although no candidate has so far been finally selected, the nominee of the Tory party must make up his mind that he will have to fac9 a stiff fight. Au enthusiastic meeting of the Riverside Liberal Association was held on Tuesday night at the S-'vern-road Board School, under the presidency of Mr George Griffiths, who in his opening address pointed out that Mr Beynon Harris was the first Conservative member for the ward, and they hoped that bhe seat would now be regained. Several gentlemen were named as probable candidates, and a selection committee was appointed to call upon those nominated, and make a recommendation to a future meeting of the ward association, when the final selection will be made. Feeling references were made to the death of Mr Macnamara, and the Rev. W. Spurgeon was unanimously elected to the seat on the executive rendered vacant by his death. Mr AUgood (the Liberal agent) gave an encouraging report of the proceedings at the Cardiff Revision Court, and a vote of thanks was tendered to him. and also to the canvassers, whose work and energy the agent highly eulogised.

PROBABLE STOPPAGE OF TON COLLIERY. I 1,200 Miners Affected. I On Tuesday evening a mass meeting of the miners of the Ton Colliery miners (Ocean) was held ab Ton, Pentre, to receive a statement f.om Mr W. Jenkins, J.P.. agent of the Ocean Collieries, with respect to bhe proposed stoppage of the Maindy Colliery. Ton. be property of the Ocran Company. Mr W. Abraham, M.F. (Mabon) and Mr W. Evans, agents of the Cambrian Association of Mimers were resent. The Press were exoluded, and the proceedings were confined to the Ton workmen. It is stated that a committee has been appointed to oonsider the suggestions or the remarks of Mr Jenkins, and that another meeting of the men will be held inja few days.

I BETTING AT WREXHAM, I On Tuesday at Wrexham Town Oonncil Mr Thomas Jones proposed that a bye-law be passed for the purpose of preventing street betting. This was seconded by Mr C. R. Benson and opposed by the Mayor (Mr Charles Murless), who preferred so long aI betting existed to see it done openly and honourably, rather than secretly and hyprocritioally. Referring topulpit allusions to the question and the resolution of certain religious bodies, be said he thought references and resolutioni had done great harm by advertis- ing betting and infusing new life into it. The resolution was carried by a majorityof two to one.

Howe, as deputy assistant over- seer, presented the list for the various wards in the Barry District. There were a large no mber claims set up by both parties, but the proceedings were of a very uneventful character. The Conservatives made claims in respect of all the policemen stationed in the Barry District-—about 20 in number. An objec- tion was made by Mr J. H. Jones on the ground that there was 110 sole occupation, and this being proved the Revising Barrister disallowed them all. A claim was made by the Liberals on account of a lodger, who enjoys the use of a sitting room, although living with his employer, Mr Jones remarking that this was but a s'gn of tbe times, Eventually the claim was allowdl. As a t-eanltot the day,'s prog-digigs the Liberals hold a slight lead.
