We have lost one who was never weary in well-doing, ever ready to give the form of labour that, coming from her, cheered other labourers in their work. We have list a Royal lady and a Royal heart."

THECAVITY BEHIND THE GRATE I The space which the ingenious gratefitter has I way of leaving between the giate and the side walls of the chimney has been a fruitful source of Sanger in almost every part of the land. The tp&ce in time gets filled with soot which falls from above or when the sweep performs his duty, and the first live coal that gets amongst the mass gets it alight, and the firs works down below the skirting and the floor- ing joists and there is an alarm of fire. It was precisely this last stage in the evolution which Officer Hamer, of the Newport Borough Force, found to have happened at 6 o'clock this morning at Messrs Vipond's offices, 113, Dock-street, Newport. There was a lot of ■moke about the offices when he came on duty, but it needed the fire brigade and the knocking of a hole in the wall near the flue to discover that there was a space left which had become cram- med with burning soot. Fortunately, the mischief had got only as far as charing the skirting boards. Not only was valuable property endangered at Messrs Vipond's, but the ship chandlery store of Mr F. T. Goss, which adjoins, was imperilled. Another building bye law, please, gentlemen of the Works Committee, or the more stringent enforcement of the existin. enactments.

I NEWPORT. I There were contests in three of the five wards into which the borough is divided, and as more interest than usual centred in the proceedings there was a heavy poll.

The results of the polls were declared from the Town Hall late in the evening as follows:— SOUTH WARD. fD. Guy C 575 •C.Collier L 536 NOT ELECTED. F.

Dr. Ferdinand Gross, the president, welcomed the guest of the evening in a speech in English, but his eloquence soon got the better of his linguistic abilities. Mark Twain responded in German. It is quite impos- sible to give an idea of the curious effect of a long German discourse by the American humourist. It had long been his wish, he said, to deliver a speech in German, but he had always been prevented by people blind to art. Even now he had obtained permission with some- difficulty, it being one of the rules of the Concordia to protect the German language—as if he meant to harm it. Why, he merely meant to reform it a little, and that was the' OBJECT OF HIS SOJOURN IN VIENNA. I He hoped to be allowed to compress the beautiful broad language, to suppress and extinguish the parentheses which grew wild in every sentence, and to get a law passed by which not more than 13 subordinate sentences should be allowed to be enclosed between two fall stops. Mark Twain is anxious for one more improve- ment. He would like to change the nature of the separable verb, and to bring the detachable prefix so far forward into the sentence that it may be discerned without a spy-glass. As matters stand at present, he thinks that when a man in this country has thrown off a good long rolling sentence, after leaning for a time against a post to rest himself, he must be full of touching curiosity to know what he really said. Refer- ring to A VIENNA HUMOURIST, EDUARD POETZL, I who amiably described Mark Twain as stopping traffic on the bridges of the canal in his attempt to observe life in Vienna, the speaker explained that his sojourn on the bridges had a very different object. He found the rails of bridges very convenient for the perusal of good long German sentences. He gummed the first part of a, separable verb on to one end of the bridge rail, and the second part to the other end. Then he comfortably spread out the interminable body of the sentence between. This gave him an opportunity for taking in a German sentence at a glance almost. For ordinary purposes he found the bridges across the canal sufficiently long, but when, he continued, I want to glance over one of Poetzl's sentences I wend my way to the superb Reiehsbriicke across the Danube, and use that." A CHARMING MISTAKE I in the use of a verb of the maligned category, by which he "kiJIed" his speech instead of "finishing" it, brought the discourse to a bril- liant conclusion. If it were possible to convey any idea of the manner in which this speech was delivered it would be easier to account for the applause it called forth. It was followed by a somewhat comical incident. Herr Lewinsky, the actor, of the Burg Theatre, and a popular speaker, bad intended to read Mark Twain's humourous sketch on the German language. But this speech cut the ground from under his feet, and he read the description of Niagara.which was too American to be thoroughly appreciated.

CARDIFF PARLIAMENTARY I COMMITTEE. Radical Reconstruction. I Present Mayor Rejected; I A discussion arose at the Cardiff Corporation to-day concerning the composition of the Parlia- mentary Committee. Dr. Buist moved that nominations be given and then voted on. Councillor Robinson seconded, and this resolution was adopted. Councillor Chappell declared that more representative men were required on the Parliamentary Committee, and that at the present it was too much over-manned with aldermen. This remark brought up Alderman David Jones, who took exception to the statement, and contended that aldermen were representative men inasmuch as they were elected by the representa- tives of the people. They had had some experience of work, and the Parliamentary Committee business might be done worse than it had been done in the past. Subsequently the Parlia- mentary Committee was elected as follows :— The Mayor, ex officio Alderman D. Jones, 31 Alderman Carey, 29; Councillor Andrews, 28 Alderman Jacobs, 28 Councillors Hallett, 27; W. Evans, 27 M. Morgan, 26; R. Hughes, 26 E. Thomas, 25 Tucker, 25 Jenkins, 22 Courtis, 21; Gerhold, 21; Robinson, 18. The following were not elected :—Councillor Symonds, 16 votes; the Mayor (Alderman Beavan), 14 votes Councillor Mildon, 14 votes Councillor Lloyd Meyrick, 8 votes.

CARDIFF'S PARLIAMENTARY BILLS. I At a meeting of the General Purposes Com- mittee of the Cardiff County Council, held to-day, a letter was read from Messrs Riddell, Vaisey, and Smith, the Parliamentary agents, suggesting the advisability of putting the questions of the Library rate, Cathays Park, interest on Univer- sity rent, Sanatorium, and Beresford-road bridge all into one Parliamentary Bill. This suggestion was adopted, it having been stated that there was no danger, if one clause of the Bill was knocked out, of the whole measure being invali- dated.

a Cardiff Divorce Suit. WILLIAMS v. WILLIAMS AND GAZZARD. I TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. LONDON, Tuesday.—In the Divorce Division to-day (before the President, Sir F. Jeune, and a special jury) the case of Williams v. Williams and Gazzard came on for further hearing. The petitioner, Mr John Williams, landlord of the Cornwall Hotel, Cardiff, sued for a divorce on the ground of his wife's alleged adultery with Mr Arthur Shelton Gazzard, who had formerly been in his employment as a bar- man. The wife made counter allegations of connivance, cruelty, and adultery against her husband. I No Arrangement; Case Proceeded With. Counsel intimated that no arrangement had been come to, and the case proceeded. Albert Edgar Morgan spoke to having seen bruises on Mrs Williams's face several times. Drunkenness was the cause of the quarrel. Annie Griffiths said she once beard a scuffling and saw Mrs Williams leaving the bouse. Mr Williams had an iron rod in his hand. On another occasion she saw Mr Williams throw a cruet across at the fireplace as if he intended to throw it at Mrs Williams. On one occasion Mrs Williams took refuge in her bedroom. She saw blood upon her, and Mrs Williams said her husband had bitten her. Her hair looked wild," as if it had been pulled. Next morning witness found hair about the bedroom. When she refused to admit Mr Williams to the room in which the wife had taken refuge he fetched a poker and smashed the panels of the door. Mrs Williams escaped and he rushed after her. A Whip Incident. Daniel Thomas and Rose Smeatham, another servant, gave corroborative evidence. The latter witness said she had seen Mr Williams slash a whip at his wife. On the occasion when Mrs Williams and Mr Gazzard were in the kitchen, Mrs Williams was there to heat her curling irons. Mr Gazzard was reading a newspaper. Witness was present. Another witness, William Undred, spoke to the whip incident and said Mrs Williams ran up stairs. He had noticed Mrs Williams having two bald patches on her head Instructions to a Witness. Thomas Parry stated that he had been employed by Mr Williams, and on the rd oi October, 1896, Mr Williams told him to bring the pony trap on Monday morning, the 5th of October, io take Mrs Williams to the station. His instruc- tions were to take a ticket for her to Abergavenny, and to put her in a through carriage for Shrewsbury. When he came back he was sent to. Mr Jacobs to tell him that his daughter had gone to a friend at Abergavenny. About Christmas Mr Williams spoke to him about the divorce and about his giving evidence. He was to say that he took a ticket for Abergavenny and nothing else. [PROCEEDING.]

ALLEGED PARENTAL NEGLECT. I THE DEATH OF A CARDIFF CHILD. This afternoon irank Hulstrom and his boarding-house keepers, Bute-road, were again brought before Stipendiary Lewis on a charge of having neglected their child, Albertina Louisa., so as to cause her unnecessary sufferi The case was called about a fortnight ago, when it was stated that the child had been very much neglected. It died of pneumonia at the Work- house, whither it had been taken by Police- sergeant Reed, and an adjournment followed so that the Coroner's jury might give their verdict and a post mortem examination be made of the body.To-day Mr B. Harris prosecuted on behalf of the police, and Mr Morgan Rees defended. Mr Harris mentioned that the Coroner's jury had found that the child died from pneumonia, but censured the parents. Nurse Helen Twiney said she had seen the child on the 8th of October at the Workhouse, and considered from its emaciated :condition that it had been very much neglected. It increased in weight by a pound in a few days after being admitted to the Workhouse. In cross-examina- tion, she said the child had contracted pneumonia, but it had apparently been neglected before that. Dr. Davies, medical officer at the Workhouse, also said the child was emaciated, and gave it as his opinion that it had been neglected. Cross-examined by Mr Rees, ho did not think the child had been puny and weak at birth. Mrs ElizabethChristopher.wife of a dock gateman, said she attended at the Hulstrom's house as charwoman, and from what she had seen con- sidered thereiiad been neglect of the child by the mother, who, she also stated, was very often the worse for liquor. Cross-examined, witness said she was in the washhouse outside almost all day, the only time she was in the dwelling-house being when she went for meals. Although she believed the child was neglected she did not do anything for it. After other similar evidence had been given, Mr Rees for the defenoe contended that the fact of the woman being drunk was no proof that she had neglected her child but even if his Worship did find there had been neglect, he put it that she had been sufficiently punished by not only the death of her child, but by being before the Coroner's jury practically on a charge of manslaughter, and also before the Police Court. — Mrs Hulstrom said her child was six months old, was very small at birth, and she never ;expeoted it to live. She was surprised it had lived so long. She had frequently sent for a, doctor, and had given it condensed milk, cod liver oil, isinglass, etc., but notwithstanding all the treatment it had received it never thrived. The child suffered much from diarrhoea. She absolutely denied the statements of Mrs Christopher that she was in the habit of drinking and neglecting her child. The child was not insured in any way. Frank Hulstrom gave similar evidence, and said he had never sean any neglect of the child. It had been properly attended to by his wife. Dr. Gowan, one of the doctors to the guardians in the parish of St. Mary, said he saw the child about a fortnight after its birth. It was smail-about the size of a seven months one-and he formed the opinion that it was weakly. He believed the parents brought it to him as they were afraid it would die suddenly. He saw it several times after- wards and gave instruction for tending it but it did not improve. He thought there must have been some inherent weakness about the child, and there were symtoms of chronic chionie indigestion. The child might have bee in an emaciated candition even though plenty had been given, if the food were not properly assimilated. In answer to the Stipendiary, he said it was possible that such a condition as the child was in might have been caused by overfeeding as well as unaerfeeaing--Dr- Davios, recalled, said ho thought it most unlikely that the con. dition of this child was caused by over. feeding. He has a certain reticence in giving an absolute opinion, but as far as be could judge it seemed to him to be impossible. The Stipendiary said there was a clear difference of opinion between the doctors, and that being so, a reasonable doubt had been generated in his mind. He would give the defendants the benefit of the doubt, and accordingly dismiss them.

FOR SPLOTT AND ROATH. Beresford-road Bridge Question. A discussion arose at the General Purposes Committee of the Cardiff County Council held to-day concerning the Beresford-road Bridge. Councillor David strongly urged the building of a bridge for vehicular traffic. Alderman Carey said that he did not think that, considering the fact that forty houses would have to be bought, the bridge could be constructed for less than .fAo,ooo. Councillor Brain moved, and Councillor j. W. Gerhold seconded, a proposition to the effect that the matter be referred again to the Parliamentary Committee, and that they be recommended to erect a substantial foot bridge. Aldern2an David Jones and the Deputy Mayor (Councillor Morgan Morgan) urged the construc- tion of a bridge snitable for vehicular traffic. Councillor Chappell, in a maiden speech, sup- ported Councillor Brain's resolution. Councillor Jenkins and others spoke, and the resolution was subsequently adopted.

A SCRAMBLE FOR CASH. I Dodging Duns at a Skating Palace. I The case of Moseley v. Collier came before his I Honour Judge Bacon yesterday at the Blooms- bury County Court, by way of a. judgment sum- mons. Defendant said he had been manager at the National Skating Palace, at a salary of £5 a week, but he had lost the position owing to these proceedings He was now living on the charity of his mother at Hastings. He had come up to town specially for the case. Plaintiff What does your mother allow you ? Defendant: A shilling now and again. (La.ughter.)-Plaintiff What is that for ?—De- fendant A drop of beer and a bit of tobacco. (Laughter.)-Plaintiff :You look fine and healthy, so I suppose you get plenty to eat ?—Defendant: Yes, thank you. (Laughter.)

CARDIFF BOUNDARIES. At the meeting of the Cardiff County Council to- day Councillor David called attention to the recommendation of the Paxliamentary Com- mittee that a plan that had been prepared by the Borough Engineer of the borough boundaries be approved. Councillor David urged that the matter was most important, and that it would not do to rush it through. Subsequently it was unanimously agreed to eliminate the paragraph in question.

Mr H. Gladstone at Maesteg. t HOME AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS, I Mr Herbert Gladstone, M.P., was on Monday evening the principal speaker at a great Liberal demonstration held at the Town Hall, Maesteg. This was the first public appearance of the member for Leeds in Glamorganshire. Upon alighting, Mr Gladstone was for- mally welcomed by Dr. John Davies, with whom was a large company of the leading Liberals of the district, including Mr Tom Rees, Mr W. R. Thomas (Liberal agent), Mr D. Beynon (miners' agent), Rev. E. Jones, the Rev. Harris, Messrs. Jenkins, H. Bowen, W. Bevan, W. G. Roberts, D. Preece, J. Watts, G. Davies, John O'Brien, E. Harding, Councillor Matthews, Councillor Jenkin Jones, Mr T. King Davies, and others. Subsequently a procession was formed, and escorted by many thousand workmen the visitors were driven from the station along Castle-street and Church-street to Commercial- street, which was one mass of bunting, to Bryn Llynvi, the residence of Dr. John Davies, where Mr Gladstone and the party were entertained to dinner. The Town Hall, where the meeting was held, was packed to suffocation long before the adver- tised hour for commencing the proceedings, while outside were several thousands more vainly contending for admission. The waiting time was agreeably spent in singing popular Welsh hymn-tunes, under the leadership of Gwilym Taf. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said they had had some big meetings in that hall in the past, but that gathering that night eclipsed everything. (Cheers.) They were all proud to be honoured with the presence of Mr Gladstone, proud of what he had done himself, but more proud because he was the son of that grand old statesman, William Ewart Gladstone— (chcers)—who had always raised his voice on behalf of the oppressed and downtrodden.' (Cheers.) In concluding, the Chairman read a telegram expressing regret for absence from Mr D. A. Thomas, M.P. Dr. COBDEN ROWLANDS moved, and Mr ZACA- RIAH JENKINS seconded, a resolution expressing hearty welcome to Mr Herbert Gladstone on his first visit to Mid-Glamorgan. This was unanimously carried, after which the vast audience joined in a, thrilling rendering of the favourite hymn tune" Aberystwyth." MR GLADSTONE'S SPEECH. I Mr HERBERT GLADSTONE, who was received with vociferous cheering, confessed that he was totally unprepared for that magnificent reception. Nothing that he had done entitled him to it or to the expressions used in the resolution. But all the more did he welcome the reception of that resolution, and its more than kind allusion to his father. (Cheers.) Personally, he wished his father were 20 or 30 years younger, though that would probably relegate him (the speaker) back to school. (Laughter.) But thai would be but a small sacrifice for him to make. As to his father, however, in relation to politics, they had got to contemplate his past and not, he was sorry to say, his future. He (the speaker) was glad of this opportunity to make acquaintance with THE MEN OF SOUTH WALES. I A resident of the North all his life, he felt he was no stranger to any part of Wales-(cbeers)- and when their member asked him to come down to Maesteg,' be (the speaker) could not refuse him, for their member's great capacities were recognized by his friends and colleagues in the House of Commons as warmly as they were at Maesteg. The Liberal party had always during the last 20 years been able to look to South Wales to send a solid contingent in support of Liberal principles in the House of Commons, but it appeared that even in that part of the country they were not unaffected by the great wave of disaffection with the Liberal party at the last election. They had possibly been carried away by the baits offered by their political opponents, and the Liberal farty suffered unexpected losses in South Wales. t remained for them now to make good those losses at the first opportunity. They must win at least six seats from the enemy when the next General Election came round. (Cheers.) At present they were as Liberals, wanderers in the political desert. But THEY STOOD IN NO NEED OF CONSOLATION. I (Applause and cheers.) They were acquainted with the past history of the Liberal party. The Queen's Jubilee festivities afforded a great object- lesson in the history of Liberalism. They had all been influenced by the wonderful behaviour of the people. The visit of the Colonial troops in strong loyalty to this country, the demonstration of the great military and naval strength of England—were any people prouder than Liberals on that great occasion ? (No.) For what thought and what knowledge did it bring to mind ? The miles of peonle, well-dressed, comfortably fed, and excellentiy-behaved—could such a thing have been possible 50 or 60 years ago ? (No.) They remembered that these people had thriven because of the great principles of Free Trade. (Cheers.) They remembered that great national Education Act passed through the efforts of the Liberal Government. The visit of the Colonial Premiers lv-Aiia&ed them now Liberal Governments had ttietr Colonies self-government in their own ana they had their reward now in the enhanced and greatly increased loyalty of our great Colonies through- out the world. Sometimes the Conservative Earty termed the Liberals "Little Englanders," nt when they regarded the Army did they not remember that it was mainly to Lord Cardwell, that: great Army reformer, a member of the Liberal Government of 1868, that the present position of the British Army was attributable ? (Cheers.) And as to the Navy, it was under a Liberal Administration, with Lord Spencer at the Admiralty, that work was taken up which had drawn from Admiral Lord Charles Beresford the acknowledgment that no Government had ever done so much for the Navy as the Liberal Government which entered office in 1892. (Cheers.) But their work was by no moans over. (Cheers.) In South Wales they had big majorities in many constituencies, but their opponents were always active, and they could not afford to let things slide. They must maintain their strength, increase their numbers, and keep the lamp of Liberalism burning brightly. (Cheers.) EAST DENBIGHSHIRE AND BARNSLEY I —(cheers)—showed that they could recover lost ground if only they went to work in the right way, and they could learn many a lesson from the discomfiture at the last election. They knew what the weaknesses of the late Liberal Government were. The work of that Government was very great, and he doubted whether at present they could fully realise the value of that work. He prophesied that when the political and social history of this period came to be written, the three years from 1892 to 1895 would be found to include more new and difficult departures for the benefit of the people at lai-ge than any three years during the last 50. (Cheers.) But that work was attempted under the greatest possible difficulty. They were hampered in the House of Commons by having too small a mvemnly. a.na au tnrongh those years they had to njTlW IOr tneir nie. xuu result was they had to catch at too many straws. He denied that under the pressure of their Irish allies too much attention was paid to Ireland and not enough to Great Britain. While they passed the Home Rule Bill through the House of Commons, they passed also three or four Bills of the greatest importance to the country at large, including the Parish Councils Act, the Employers' Liability Bill, which the Lords practically threw out, the Factory Act, and Sir William Harcourt's great Death Duties. (Cheers.) In Wales they carried Liberal candi- dates with large majorities, because I WALES HAD POLITICAL STABILITY —(cheers)—definite political enthusiasm—(cheers) —and a. national feeling of their own which kept them together. (Loud cheers.) Strong in action under these influences, they bad again and again worsted their political opponents. This, how- ever, did not apply, he was sorry to say, to other parts of the country. But Wnen next the Liberal party came into office they must have a strong, overwhelming majority, for if not they could only work on in weakness, and perhaps produce once more a catastrophe such as that which befel them in 1895. Now, their position was not at all bad it was full of hope. Personally, he was full of confidence, (Cheers.) Their opponents said there was not unity in the Liberal party. Well, he did not know there was so very much unity in the Unionist party. (Laughter.) Mr Courteney was of opinion that it was abso- lutely necessary for the good of the country that the Liberal Unionist organisation should be kept strictly apart from that of the Conservatives, because, according to him, if the Liberal Union- ists did not keep the Tories in order the Tories would certainly do a great deal of mischief in the country. This threw a curious light on the subject of the I UNITY OP THE UNIONIST PARTY. There was a singular unity in the Liberal Unionist party at the present time, because so far as he could see there was only one Liberal Unionist left in the House, ana that was Mr Courteney, and so long as he maintained that position there was no danger of the Liberal Unionist organisation being merged in that of the Tory party. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach declared the other day that the party had never been so united before, that he had sat in many Cabinets, but had never sat in any Cabinet so united as the present one. Well, it was his (Mr Gladstone's) experience that when a Cabinet Minister in public declared a particular Cabinet to be thoroughly united there was reason to believe that that Cabinet was rent with disunion. (Laughter and cheers.) Twenty years ago they had the same assurances with re- spect to the Cabinet of Lord Beaconsfield, and yet almost immediately afterwards Lord Derby and Lord Carnarvon resigned. On the question of bimetallism, the pre- sent Cabinet, they were told, were hope- lessly disunited. Before the last General Election Mr Balfour, Mr Chaplin, Sir M. White Ridley, end several other present members of the Cabinet openly professed bimetallism, and thou- sands of voters in Lancashire and other places voted Conservative inconsequence of the speeches made by Mr Balfour and his colleagues on this question. Now they were told by Sir M. Hicks- Beach that though the Cabinet were disunited on bimetallism, this was really not a political question, and therefore no acute situation had .ftrisw. Eta (the this proceeding was not honest. (Loud cheers.) If this question was political before the last election it was political now. (Cheers.) It was one of I THE MANY TOBY BAITII I at which many silly fish arose, and if Mr Balfour and Mr Chaplin could not carry the Cabinet on the question of bimetallism then, having regard to the speeches they made before the last General Election, it was their duty now to resign. (Loud cheers.) Liberals were often accused of dishonesty, of want of belief in the measures they put forward, and of a tendency to logrolling. All the measures introduced by the last Liberal Govern- ment were measures which every true Liberal could support. (Cheers.) The Tory seemed to see dishonesty in the Welshmen supporting Home Rule and in Home Rulers supporting Welsh Disestablishment. Where was the dis- honesty? Nearly 30 years ago Welshmen assisted Irishmen in getting the Irish Church disestablished—(cheers)—and it was in full accordance with Liberal principles that the Irish should help to get the Welsh Church disestablished (Cheers.) But what of the morality of their opponents ? At the last election they said pretty nearly everything, and it was difficult to pin a Tory now, for when you quoted one speech they quoted another against you. They opened their sails to catch every breath that blew from any quarter of the heavens, but did they tell the country they intended coming upon it for millions of money to put into the pockets of the landlords ? (" No.") If they had they would have paid the penalty of exclusion from office tor a considerable period. T^ey gnlled the electors, and then proceeded to distribute the rewards. Where was the political honesty or justification of that measure, THE LANDLORDS' RELIEF BILL, I which he deliberately declared was passed through the House of Commons under a false pretext ? (Cheers.) Did they tell the country they were going to cay large sums of money to Voluntary schools, but only one-sixth of the amount to necessitous Board schools, or that they were going to set up associations which resolved themselves naturally into Church Associations, the effect naturally being an additional influence to the already overwhelming influence of the Church of England in all the parishes throughout the country ? (No.) While the niass of the Tory party preserved the regular oithodox front on the question of eight hours for miners, Tory candidates were allowed to pledge themselves as they liked on the question. This had been deliberately arranged over and over again, the last time being at East Denbighshire, where, however, the Welsh miners were not to be gulled. (Loud cheers.) Before the election Mr Balfour declared that if the Unionists were returned the country would be rid of Irish legislation in the House of Commons. Since then they had had one Land Act for Ireland, and the Government had already announced that the great measure of next Session was to be a. Local Government Act for Ireland. This was the fulfilment of the pledge that the country was to have perfect rest from Irish legislation. However low the political morality of Liberals might be, it had not, at any rate, touched the depths attained by that of their political opponents. (Cheers.) Turning to the Government's FOREIGN POLICY, the speaker characterised it as one of reck- less extravagance in one direction and shameful impotence in another. They grasped at farther territory all over the world, and demanded more soldiers to defend that territory when they had no one more for- midable to meet than a, Zulu or an Afridi. But when it came to a question of honour and responsibility in Europe, where they had to face Turks, Russians, and Germans, then this extraordinary spirit of valour and enterprise appeared to sink into their boots, and they assumed an attitude of the most abject humiilty. The speaker referred to the hair-brained expedition to Khartoum, for which the British taxpayer would have to pay, and said it would be matter for no surprise if the Government next prepared to annex the Desert of Sahara. (Laughter.) Referring to the mad forward policy of the Government on the North- west frontier of India, the speaker attributed the present formidable uprising of the mountaineers against British power to a reversal of the Liberal policy. As to THE EUROPEAN CONCERT, Lord Salisbury had allowed it to be dominated by Russia and Germany for their own ends, and not for the general good of Europe. The whole matter was one of the highest degree of shame. Lord Salisbury in negotiation had been feebly forcible, and in action he had been absolutely impotent. The Government had done nothing for the honour of this country or for the safety of the Christian subjects of the Porte. In conclusion the speaker expressed his belief that when next the electors were appealed to they would demonstrate by large majorities that they took pride in the destinies of their country, that they respected the rights of others, that they were ready to be true to their engage- ments and duties in Europe, even at heavy sacri- fices, and to be true at any rate where treaties and honour commanded them to be true. (Loud and prolonged cheers.)

CARDIFF'S NEW MAYOR. I And His Salary I I At a meeting of the General Purposes Com- mittee of the Cardiff County Council held to-day, his Worship the Mayor (Alderman E. Beavan) presiding, Alderman Joseph Ramfedale was unanimously selected as Mayor of Cardiff for the ensuing year. A letter was read from Alderman Ramsdale, who was unable to be present owing to an injury to his leg, and stating that if he was selected by the Council as Mayor for the ensuing year he would do his utmost to merit their con- fidence. (Hear, hear.) The Mayor briefly expressed his pleasure that Alderman Ramsdale had been chosen. Alderman D. Jones spoke in high terms of Alderman Ramsdale. They would doubtless presently be called upon to fix the Mayor's salary, and he (the speaker) said that personally Alderman Ramsdale did not wish that any addition should be made to the initial sum voted to him. He (the speaker) moved that the the salary for the Mayor of Cardiff for the en- suing year be £ 1,000. During the year they had the Grand Moveable Committee of the Ancient Order of Foresters and other important bodies coming. Of course, in the event of any unfore- seen event, such as a visit of Royalty, the present salary would have to be augmented. Councillor Jenkins seconded on the understanding that there should be absolutely no subsequent addition to the salary. Aldermen Carey and Trounce also supported. Councillor Good asked whether part of the SI,000 would be spent in establishing ex- penses when he took up his residence in the new Mansion House. The Mayor said that in view of the decision of Justice Romer it was beyond their power to dictate to the Mayor how he was to spend his salary. Subsequently the resolution was unanimously adopted.

I FAILED TO WALK THE PLANK. I Late last evening as Michael Brickley, laboorer, Newport, was carrying ashore a bag of clothes belonging to one of the seamen of the as. Ella, moored at the Riverside Wharf, he missed his footing on the plank and fell twenty feet into the mud below. In his descent he struck the staging and sustained severe injuries to his head. He was picked up and taken ashore by some workmen, and after being seen by Dr. Paton WM removed o the Infirmary and detained. t ■■

I Gossip and Incidents. [SPECIAL TELEGSAK TO TO ECHO."] LINCOLN, Tuesday.—From the breakfast hour just as visitors were speculating on the probable chaxacter of the day the san burst through with splendid power, chasing the mists away and making the afternoon one of the brightest seen during the recent phenomenal spell of autumn weather. There was little change to be notified in the character of the attendance, which remained very meagre compared with the average, yet there was no lack of life in the proceedings. The opening showed cis I an improvement on yesterday's sport, as half a dozen turned out for the Blankney Nursery. which proved to be a good thing for Grand Prix, who was sent in preference to Westman from Golding's stable, and as Westman on the book held a superlative chance Grand Prix therefore quickly became favourite, but previously J. Moeder figured in that position, greatly to his backers' loss. I J Tn. needs little comment, as Sait TLoates went along as he pleased on Grand Prix, gwsting off fairly, then pulled back, and within 'ue dis- tance coming on the stand side and readily over- hauling the leaders, to win by three lengths. Mr Calvert is finding indirectly that the Winkfield's Pride blood is useful in his interests. Winldield's Pride smashed up Bridegroom and others in the spring, ana at this autumn meeting Winkfield's Dower and Bonny Winkfield have won races. These juveniles are, however, not of much account, and Bonny Winkfield in beating Hie Labor, who was very weakiy ridden by a little boy, the performance must be accounted moderate. The winner was bought in for 270gs. Lincoln Autumn Meeting. I LINCOLN, TUESDAY. Though the early morning was by no means too promising at Lincoln the conditions gradually im proved, and at noon the sun found his way through the murky atmosphere, and matters were rendered pleasant by a tinge of sharpness in the air. The London specials were only sparsely patronised, and the attendance in the principal enclosures showed very little increase on the opening afternoon. The arrival list was however augmented this morning and sport proved fairly interesting.

SPORTING ITEMS. I i According to a New York telegram of yester- day's date, Mr Pierre Lorillard, who returned from Europe on Sunday, in the course of &n interview, in which he gives his impressions of sport in England, said I like England the best horse wins there. There are gentlemen on the Turf there who race for sport." The Baker, wires a Malton correspondent, as left Highfield House, Malton, for Eversleigh Hall, Eversleigh, a noble sportsman having bought him, according to report, for 4,500 guineas. Sam Loates rode a fine race on Bob White in the Yarborough Plate at Lincoln yesterday. He is by no means a nice horse to handle, but Loates got him balanced from the start, a.nd keeping his field on the stretch the whole of the way he held Lord Molescroft and Dargas at bay, winning not a little cleverly from Mr Whipp's horse.

FOOTBALL. CARDIFF v. SWANSEA. Enforced Changes in Cardiff's Ranks. Cardiff committee on Monday night had to pick a team to play Swansea, at St. Helen's, with a know- ledge that the captain and two forwards could not make the journey. Biggs and George Dobson are on the injured list since the Hospitals match, the former having severely sprained the ligaments of his right knee, which was on Monday set in plaster of Paris, and the forward having had a kick on the leg which has caused the limb to swell considerably. The other vacancy is brought about by the resignation of A. M. Jenkin, who has been compelled to abandon the game, as he will be unable to spare time, consequent upon his receiving an appointment at a Rhondda colliery. The committee rearranged the back division by playing Driscoll in his old position at half, removing T. J. Thomas to the left wing, where he should not be amiss, and filling the position of custodian by giving Winfieid, of the Reserves, the trial which he should be well able to justify. Choice for places forward fell upon Mills and Davies, oi the Reserves, two useful man. South Wales Association League. Table up to Saturday, October 30th POSITION OF THE CLUBS. Goals. Pld. Won. Drn.
