A TRAWLER RUN DOWN OFF YARMOUTH.
A TRAWLER RUN DOWN OFF YARMOUTH. The Press Association's Yarmouth correspon- dent telegraphs: —Hie gmack Henry and Lydia. which arrived hers on Sunday night, reported the loss of the trawler Jane Smith, of Yar- mouth, with all her crew. The skipper of the Henry and Lydia, which is in a badly damasred condition, states that his vessel ran down tha Jane Smith during- the heavy weather. The Jane Smith had a. large hole made in her side by the compact, and at once settled down carry- ing her six hands with her. Big seas were run- ning at the time, and a boat, which was launched to try and rescue the struggling men, was at once swamped, so that further attempts at saving the drowning men had to be aban- doned. The Henry and Lydia, too, was in such a bad plight that during the continuance of the gale she was momentarily expecrcd to founder, and as soon as the weather abated she sa id heme. !?

VERY MUCH MIXED.
VERY MUCH MIXED. TWO MOTHERS AND ONE FATHER. During the holding of an inquest by Mr. Arthur C. Langiiiain, a witness over 70 yeara old caused considerable amusement by his extra ordinary answers. After being sworn, the coroner asked the i| witness Was the deceased your nephew ? v,v fees.* i7f*s, partly he was. Thje Coroner: What can we understand by that. Witness: Well, you see, it's a ftjee of two mothers and one father. Thu, Coroner: What more can we mothers and one father. Thu, Coroner: What more can we 1m;-1, sia-nd <"bv that? Who was 11e, and what relationship had lie to you? Witness: His mother was first wife and I'm the second. The Coroner: What absurdity. Listen to me now. Was your sister the iirst No; sdie was my sistar-in-law, speaking correctly. The Coroner (smiling): I can't see through this at all. What was his mother's name? Witness: Stanley; but 1 don't know what her mother's name was. A juryman: Let her rest pro tern. Let's settle one point at a time. The Coroner: Was his mother your sister, Dr was your sieter the second wife? Witness: No; I'm second. (Loud laughter, in which the coroner poined.) w The Coroner: You cannot be a wife. Witness Xo, I'm by the second. A j'uryman: That can't be, or you must be younger than the deceased. Witness Well, he had six by the first and ten by ths second. I cannot help it if he did. (Loud laughter.) The Coroner: It's getting a little to com- plicated for me. Witness: Well, you see, ha called me uncle, but, you see, I was only part, for we were all brothers and sisters together, although he neitfliei* brother nor sister of mine. (Loud laughter.) The Coroner said it seemed useless to try and find out the actual relationship from the witness, so he would style him "a relative of the deceased. "-Tlus was done, and the inquest proceeded.
BRITISH ARMY.
BRITISH ARMY. PROPOSED INCREASE OF FIFTEEN THOUSAND MEN. Nearly Two Millions to be Provided for the First Year, The '"Daily Telegraph" says that within the course of the next fortnight the official an- nouncement will he made of a proposed increase to the standing Army. In the schemes put forward by the Commander-in-Chief for the re-organisation and better administration of the Service, there was a draft recommending certain avid considerable additions to the number of infantry battalions, artillery, engineers, and other branche?. After much deliberation, it was resolved that the addition to the land forces should he sanctioned, and ways and means found to meet the c-ost in the next Budget. is not likely that the full amount which will H>a ultimately required annually will be set out in this year's votes, as the troops will be raised to the new numerical standard gradually. lacked, at the moment the civil powers are considering how much, or rather how little, it is advisable to spend for the increase of the Army. The cause of the proposed addition to the Army is to be found in the necessity of garrisoning naval stations abroad more effec- tively. It may be guessed (says the "Tele- graph") that the increase will in the end require nn addition of nearer 15,000 than 10,000 men. A sum, therefore, of between one and two million pounds sterling will have to be pro- vided during the first year. The new levies will consist mainly of infantry, artillery, and engineers. Of course, there will lie other details—medical staff, ordnance, and what not. ■ '■lAiiw^waiiirrtMaBaa——■—■

Saturday's Great Game .
Saturday's Great Game WHAT OUTSIDE CRITICS THINK. EULOGY OF THE WELSE FOR- WARDS. Admission of Wales's Superiority at Every Point. INCEPTION OF THE NEWS. IN SCOTLAND. WILL THE SAME TEAM BE SE- LECTED EN BLOCK TO PLAY SCOTLAND. [BY WELSH ATHLETE/'] The more one reflects upon the game at New- port on Saturday the more must one be con- vinced that the Welshmen's victory was as deserved as it was great* As to the greatness of it, there can be no doubt. Three times across the line does not by any means repre- sent the true state of affairs. At a moderate computation Wales ought to have scored in addition a penalty goal and a couple of tries. The penalty goal was a very easy affair, right in front of the English posts, and at least ten yards inside the English 2S line. Why, wit.h such place-kicks as Bancroft and Boucher in the team Gould on a day that quite discounted drop- kicking elected to try a drop at goal no one can hardly understand. Another point in the same half that very few oould see anything the matter with was when Jones fell on the ball just before the first try was scored. There were very few present but considered that a perfectly fair try. The third point that might have been put on was at the far end, when, with Cliff Bowen on' his left, Gould again tried a shot at goal that went miles wide in preference to giving Bowen a pass. With those three points added to the Welsh score, I think the account would just about have shown the diffe- rence in merit under existing conditions be- tween the two teams. What, undoubtedly, proved a great surprise to the Englishmen was the marked ability of both forwards and backs on the Welsh side to act as they did in the mud. Those who read my notes on Saturday morning will remember that I suggested that prevailing conditions were likely to suit us better than they would suit the Englishmen. I thought then, as I think now, that at the least computation the heavy ground was a try fti our favour. I don't think a single English news- paper critic was of that opinion. Every one of them that I spoke to upon the matter felt quite certain that Wales would be the sufferers. The only exception was the Rev. Frank Marshall, who on Friday night had no hesitation in telling me that a wet, sloppy ground would be all in our favour. One of the English forwards held the same opinion, in, perhaps, a mors modified form. A. J. Gould, the Welsh captain, strange to cay, was of the same opinion, and in answer to a question of mine on Friday evening said, briefly, HI think we shall do better in the mud than they wit" The result proved his words to be correct. That the English forwards were badly beaten in the tight scrimmages no one can doubt; at the same- time, I have nearly as good an opinion of thema-s I had at Rich- mond. Tha.t the wet ground handicapped them tremendously there can be no doua:, Those who witnessed their following up cannot hold much doubt as to their pace, neither can there be much doubt as to their dribbling abilities. How I look upon the matter is that they were too fast for the ground. They did exactly what I anticipated they would—that is. they overran the ball. Had the turf been dry and fast their pace and fine footwork would have given them a much greater command over the baill in the loose than pertained on Satur- day, and the result, I am firmly convinced, would have been that we should ha.ve expe- rienced much more difficulty in stopping some of those dangerous rushes of theirs than we did. On th* other hand, the Welsh forwards. the majority of whom I hardly think to bo as fast as the English eight, were suited by the mud. On a dry turf the ball would probably have gone a bit too far for them. As it was, they were enabled to keep command of it. In addition, one often saw half a dozen forwards from both sides kicking at a ball which was stuck in the mud, and the end of that was that a scrimmage was generally formed, all of which was playing into the hands of the Welsh for- wards, for they were heavier and stronger than their opponents, and. consequently, held com- mand of the tight pack. As to the abilities of the Welsh forwards, their combination in the scrum, their wheeling, tackling, and all round play, there can be no doubt. They were a grand eight, and did what a number of good judges hardly expected them to do, that is, they stayed right bang up to the finish. Behind the scrimmage we always had the upper hand of the Englishmen. Almost as much so. in fact, as we did in front. There is some little excuse to bo made for the ohow of Wells and Taylor, whose merits I look upon in the order their names are written. Th^r forwards gave them but few opportunities for attack. Once or twice they got the ball, but they were never quick enough away from the scrimmage to beat Jones and Biggs. They did some good saving work, it! is true. At the same time, it was surprising, from a Welsh point of view, to notice ths?ir; marked predilection for lying on th? ball instead of getting up and playing it. I had always understood that Englishmen made a point of keeping the ball gomg. ludted, on many occasion, I have heard the most earnest and bitter protestations on the part of English players when a Welsh back hugged the ball until his forwards came up to make a scrim- mage. On Saturday the boot was quite on the other foot. With, perhaps, the single excep- tion of Fookes, I contend that my earlter sug- gestions as to the want of international class on the part of the English three-quarters were justified. Some excuse may, perhaps, be made for Baker, who has only just recovered from a severe accident. Those strong bursts of his that we have been accustomed to in the past were noticeable only by their absence. He did not seem to have any particular resource about him eithsr, whilst his kicking had neither the length nor direction of Gwynn Nicholls's Fletcher, the other centre, played a fearless game, and once or twice brought off some good saves. In tackling, however, he seemed very undecided what to do on many occasions. Once, when Gould, with a brilliant dribble back into the centre, got through, Fletcher was waiting for the pass to the w4ig man, and had the pass to Bowen been a less difficult one, that indecision on the part of the Englishman would have almost certainly cost his g:de another try. On another occasion Fletcher was completely fogged as to what to do with Nicholls. He seemed dumfoundered, and for a second or two stood quite still looking at him. Yet in the North Fletcher has an excellent reputation, but it is well to remember that he does not often have the class of men to play against that he did on Saturday. Like his confreres, F. A. Byrne had practically nothing to do in the way of attack; in fact, I don't remember that he had three passes given him during the game. He worked hard, but was never conspicuous—principally for the reason that he was opposed to such a brilliant indi- vidual man as Pearson, who was repeatedly bringing off a number of fine individual efforts in attack, and, furthermore, offered a most sound defence. On Saturday's form Pearson is probably the finest right wing we have play- ing in Wales at the present moment. Brilliant two or three years ago when partnering Elliott in the Cardiff team, he is a more solid player, especially in defence, than he was at that time. He has thickened out a bit probably, and rarely, if ever, lets a man pass him, and trusting, as he usedf to do in the past, to his speed to overhaul him. Gwynn Nicholls, I consider, was the most consistent centre on the ground. He never made a mistake in tackling. His kicking to touch evtn on a dry day would have beer, called magnificent; on a slippery field, with a. wet ball, I can only characterise it as superb. He did not get as many opportunities as I should have liked to have seen him have, but what opportunities did come his way he dealt with in a most workmanlike fashion. Gould showed better defers than I ever remember seeing him do before, whilst his kicking to touch was t excellent. I don't consider, however, that his judgment was quite so good as usual. Of course, he is judged by a rather higher standard than the majority of three-quarters, and we have been so accustomed to brilliant and fatuit- lese generalship on his part that, falling a trifle short of that standard, even though such defec- tion leaves him on a standard above the ordi- nary run of three-quarters, is to those who know his play so well particularly noticeable. Cliff Bowen played, I thought, a remarkably good game, and in defence never gave his side the slightest cause for anxiety. Probably he was the lightest of the Welsh three-quarters, and so ths least able to stand the knocking about of the English, forwards. The cx- Llanelly man is a rare game 'un, however, and took all the gruelling they could give him. I think he ought to have scored on one occa- sion at least, that being in the second half of the game, when Gould, however, elected to try the fruitless drop at goal, instead of sending the ball out to Bowen. Again, in the first half, when Gould made one of his old-time brilliant breaks into the centre there was an opening on ths left wing', which with ordinary luck would have ended in either Bowen or GoulJ scoring. The pass was a bit too high, however, and before Bowen could get round and recover himself the opening had been closed up. At full back England did not have the worst of matters. Bancroft was as tricky as ever, and generally managed to get his kick in. His length was not what it used to be, however; neither did he find touch as often as could be wished. J. F. Byrne had a. very warm time of it, but on the whole acquitted himself most creditably. To give a definite reason why Wales won would be extremely hard, for all round the players contributed largely towards the success of their sidi3. A very large amount of credit, however, must be given to the Welsh forwards, who, fairly breaking up the English- men in front, sorely tried the defence of the English backs. Their tackling, too, on many occasions proved most useful to the Welsh backs, and invariably when one of the latter was collared the forwards were wonderfully smart in getting up to start a scrimmage. I mention elsewhere the surprisingly small accommodation of the Newest reserve stands. The crowd present numbered, I should say, about 15,000. Had the day been fine, I very much question if ths accommodation existing would have been sufficient for the crowd that would sn-elv have been present. Reception of the News in Scotland. The defeat of England was widely discussed in the sparting circles at Ed/inburgh on Satur- day evening, the fine vctory of Walc-s being highly spoken about. It was well known that Wales waoild moke a grand appearance, as the Watsonians had been heavily defeated in their engagements with Cardiff and Newport. The result invests much greater importance. PRESS OPINIONS. The "Birmingtiiam Gaaette" says the most striking Ihsmg about the match was the grand piay of the Welsh forwards. The attacking qualities of the Welsh team were great, and every man seemed inspired with tremendous energy. They worked splendidly all throag'; and every department did its share in gaining the victory. It was a surprise to see how bril- liantly the Welsh rushed the scrums, and how smartly they followed up and tackled. The "Birmingham Posit" says:—"England were fairly beaten at every point except lull back. where, if anything, the display of J. F. Byrne (the Moseley player) was superior to 1'h. of Bancroft. Once more England's sup- porters pinned their faith upon their forwards. As a rule tihe Eixgllish pack ha.ve beaten the elsh; but on Saturday Wales were magni- ficently represented, and, as their forwards combined in themselves exceptional dash and determination, with great dribbling and tack- ling powers, England were beaten in front. The elsh played a magnificent game and weil deserved their victory." The "Western Dalv Press" says:—"it ;s, undoubtedly, a disadvantage to England to be represented by virtually a scratch team, e- <1 perhaps the Richmond team by itself wo1: hI ,h'1. n\ made almost as good a fight as did ths English combination. However, the fact remains that f<he South Wales (with Monmouth- shire) players have brougiht Rugby too-jball to peri" tion, and that their win was welll ueserved The interest taken m football in Wales is very remarkable, as no other form of sport eivit>h-» ii- the principality, but the gallant littla coun- try may be assured that there are thousands of Englishmen who envy them tiheiir teams and the fine football they can aften see. The "Morning" says:—On a mudhsap at Newport on Saturday, -tihe fourteenth match between Wales and England ended in a hand- some victory for the Welsh fifteen by 1 goal and 2 tries to nil. This is the most decisive beabimg that any English fifteen have received at the hands of Wales, and is the third success that has fallen on the repreeentasbivea of the Principality. It may be said at once that the Welshmen thoroughtty deserved their victory. Though under such conditions, the element of luck entered largely into the contest, there could be no question that the game went to the better slide. The bulk of the play, of course, fell upon the forwards, and the Welsh front rank men were cleaotily the smarter. They used their feet with better judgment ?>nd ability, were quicker in their movements, and more certain in tihenr tackling. It was practically impossible to distinguish any one forward, as in less than ten minutes tha men's faces and clothes were smothered in mud, and the half-backs were also quickly in the swine condition. As may be imagined, the work of the backs mainly con- sisted in stopping rushes, and the few attempts at hand-to-hand passing were mainly made by the Welsh backs. Selwyn Biggs, alt half-back, was in fine form, Gould and Bowen were the best of the three-quarters, while Bancroft, at full back, quite maintained his high reputation. J. F. Byrne was a good full back for England, but the quarters were disappointing. Taylor and Wels did a lot of hard work, but scarcely made any real attempt to feed their/ three- quarters. This is how the "Morning Leader" bardltet sums up the whole business: — Sing a song of goulsome sorrow; Lift a. lay of hvrks and laughter; Tears that fall until the morrow; Joys that jurgles ever after. It was iu the moon of day-mist, Under dark and dismal weather; Where the brute-beasts were the tamest, And the green things grow together. ?"?

He was buried cm the morrow, Borne along in Fifteen hoar see; And to orown the cup of sorrow, 1, the Bardlet, wrote these verses. "Oval," writing in the "Morning Leader" of to-day, says •—"The Khondda Valley forwards won the matoh. This n* my judgment in a I nutshell. They gave the Welshmen what they have always wanted—tenacity, strength, and dash in the pack. Wales can always win behind'; on Saturday she won everywhere. For the greater part of the play the English for- wards were all much outplayed—I do not piay beaten—as were the backs. Our backs were beaten and outplayed as well, our forwards were simply outplayed. The Welshmen were far more clever in controlling the ball with their feet, and they nearly always brought it with them when the scrimoages broke up. though in wheeling the Englishmen, who usually n-ivoted on Oakes, a grand forward, were probably more I successful. The Welshmen overcame the physical difficulties of the ground and greasy ball far better than their opponents, the passing was much faster and more accurate than would have been deemed possible by anyone who had not seen the play, and their players were not m hampered in running and tackling as were the losers, who would not, in my opinion, be so much behind were the game re-played in fine weather on a firm foothold. I trust no Welsh reader of the "Morning Leader" will think this II. biased criticism, or one which owes its parent- age to the wish, on the part of one who Iran seen the Englishmen play on a dry ground, and knows that their three- uarters far nt-back," This is hot* the same writer praises our for- wards:—"If Wales is not satisfied with this eight she merits no further success this season. I I dp not Ree whidl pack is to bel1t them, the Scotch or the Irish, for they combine the best qualities of each. They are as clever as they can be, and as they averge well above 13st. they cannot be deemed too light. I much question whether etxra weight, after 1M. 7lb., is not nearly always neutralised by awkwardness. There is not much enthusiasm over the halves. Listen to "Oral" again:—"It wag one of Selwyn Biggs's average days. Take this player on a series of games and you will find no more consistently capable half. Of 'course, there were blemishes in his perform- ance, but all round he was good. I can't make- out, though, why he coundl't throw out straight from touch. Nearly every long lon.g throw was yards out of the perpendicular. Danny Jones disappointed folks, though he got a try, and all Aberavon got excited on Saturday night. He held the ball as if he loved it dearly, and couldn't share it with any- one. Still, his tackling was immense, and if he is really as gcod in offence as is said, he oi..ght to have another trial." Then glance at this eulogy of the Welsh three-quarters :—" All four three-quarters did wonderfully well. Of the four I think Gwynn Nicholls the besft. He was certainly the chief in defence, and in attack was sejond only to Pearson, of whose brilliant play I have before spoken. Gould struck me as not in his usual form; he certainly was very closely marked, Fletcher being constantly o!n the look out for him. Now ang again he got clear, but hardly ever with a willg laxly looked after, to help him. Bowen had hard lines fn not scoring, and was probably the Welshman most affected by the weather. He showed all his old speed and dodging power. Bancroft wap uneven in his play, but he always found touch, a. point in which he excelled Byrne, though his kicking was not so strong as the Englishman's.

Halsey did not run ai single horse at the Ling- field Meeting, and none of the Michael Grove contingent was present. The five year old mare, Kenney, whom Bur- bidge bought at the Newmarket sales, now figures in the hurdle races as the property of Mr. W. C. Elwes. Though Williamson had several mounts at Lingfield, nearly all of which were on favour- its, he did not win a single race.

Shipping DisastersJ
Shipping Disasters J THE WRECK OFF BREST. The Press Assoc-cation Dover correspon- dent telegraphs: —Eleven men, forming part of the missing crew of the steamer Belgic, which has sunk off Brest, landed at Dover on Saturday morning. The Belgic was bound from Bayonne to Antwerp with iron, and the captain and three of the crew were drowned when she went down, while three others reached Brest in an open boat. The crew are thus all accounted for. The men picked up by the Glen Dochart suffered considerably from exposure. The name of the captain of the Belgic was Kersting. One of the men suffered so severely from exposure that he has been taken to the Dover Hospita.1. The remainder will be sent to Antwerp. The ship's lifeboat in which the men esca.ped is lying in Dover Harbour, and shows con- siderable damage from the effects of the sea. The Press Association Hartlepool correspon- dent telegraphs:—Messrs. Crosby, Magee, and Co., shipowners, on Saturday morning received a telegram from Dover stating that their steamer Glen Dochart had landed eleven of the crew of the steamer Relgrc, of Antwerp, which had been lost off Brest, north of Ushant. The boa.t "was picked up ?5 miles north-east of Ushant. Seven of the crew are not accounted II for. ADRIFT FOR SIX MONTHS. A Renter's telegram from Cape Town says: The British ship South African, from Ran- 'I goon to Kio Grande do Sul, with a cargo of rice. has been picked up in Saldanha Bay by the tug Aurora, which, with the assistance of the Luna, Aowed her into Table Bay. The crew of she South African were stricken down with rcurvy, South African were stricken down with rcurvy, 'aid the vessel had been drifting about t.Ho Indian and South Atlantic Oceans for the past I six months.

The P. and 0. steamship Bailarat landed at Plymouth on Sunday Captain Harris and five of the crew of the brigarwine Queen of the Fleet, of Bristol. The vessel was proceeding through the Straits of Gibraltar at midnight on December 13, and when off Point Tarifa she sighted a steamer endeavouring to cross her bows. The unknown steamer failed to clear the sailing ship, and crashed into her star- board sido with terrific force, nod, without waiting, proceeded on her way. Th. brigantine rapidly tilled with water, and the crew took to her boats, the vessel foundering within three- quarters of an hour from the time of the colli- sion. The crew reached Gibraltar in safety. NARROW ESCAPE OF A PASSENGER BOAT. On Saturday afternoon, while thé Crut.ha penny steamer No. 3 was proceeding down the Clyde ehe collided with No. 2 horse ferry- boat, which was crossing the river. The Crutha boat was so severely daTnarned on her port quarter that she immediately beg'an to fill. She was run alongside the landing-stage, where the crew a.nd passengers, numboring at least 100, were landed. The horse ferry-boat was not damaged. GROUNDED OFF THE NASH.

WELSH QUARKT DISPUTE. MAYOR OF CARDIFF AND THE RELIEF FUND. On Saturday morning the Penrhyn quarry- men now at Cardiff with the view of raising a fund to relieve the distress of the men ,w ho have been thrown out of employment by tho closing of the Pcnrhyn quarries had ari interview with the Mayor of Cardiff (Mr. E. Beavan) in his parlour at the Town-hall. The deputation, which was introduced by Councillor E. Thomas ("Cochfarf") consisted of Messrs Pritahard, Hughes, Rowlands, and Jonee. The Mayor said that, although the local claims upon him were very great, he felt justified in handing over a cheque for two guineas to the qua.rry- men's fund. He hoped his fellow townsmen who could afford it woiild aubscribe liberally toward. alleviating the distress which existed in North "Wale*. The deputation, who were highly gratified with their reception, were pro- fuse in their thanks to his worship. After leaving they contrasted their reception at Car- diff with their experience at Chester, where the mayor, although a native of Anglesea, refused to see the deputation. Undoubtedly, they said, Cardiff deserves to be the capital of Wales, Only one had everWisited the town before. LORD PENRHYN AND HIS QUARR.Y. MEN.

With regard to other por- tions of your letter, I wish to point out that, as I a.m unaware as to what letters you have received from the men, it is naturally impossible for me to know whether you have furnished me with the substance of their communications or I not.

THE RECENT L AMP ACCIDENT AT CARDIFF. DEATH OF THE INJURED WOMAN. On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Alice Sale, of No. 8. Ordell-st: ,et, Cardiff, died at the, Union Workhouse Hospital, from exhaustion consequent on injur.es received on Saturday week. M-s. Sale had explained that she was quarrelling with her husband, who upset a paraffin lamp, which exploded, and the burn- ing spirit set fire to the woman's clothing. Since Mrs. Sale has been an inmate of the hospital she has informed the police that her injuries resulted from a pure accident, and that her husband, who was also badly burnt about the hands, did all he possibly could to subdue the flames. j
Welsh Land.I
Welsh Land. I CONFERENCE AT CARMAR- THEN. 500 DELEGATES FROM WEST WALES. The long-talked-of conference of freeholders and tenant fanners of the three counties of Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Pembroke was held at Carmarthen on Saturday afternoon. The meeting was organised to take into con- sideration the recoiiuiiendations of the Welsh Land Commission, and more especially that portion of their report to which they gave unanimous assent. Over seventy preliminary meetings had been held in the eister counties to elect delegates to the conference, and five hundred representatives had been appointed to attend. The arrangements had been systematically carried out by the secre- taries (Messrs. W. Llewelyn Williams, Lon- don, and J. H. Davies, Cwi imawr, Cardigan- shire), with the re&uit that long before the advertised hour the Skire-haii was uncom- fortably packed by a representative gathering of agriculturists from every comer of the three counties. Six Radical members of Parliament attended, and the meeting will be long remembered in the annals of the agita- tion. The speeches were delivered almost entirely in the vernacular. On the motion of Mr. Lloyd Morgan, M.P., Mr. T. E. Ellis, the Liberal Whip, was voted to the chair. Mr. Llewelyn Williams having enumerated the steps that had been taken to organise so magnificent a gathering, the Chairman rose, amidst great applause, to address the meeting. SPEECH BY MR. T. E. ELLIS. Mr. T. E. Ellis said that nowhere could the Welsh land campaign be more fittingly opened than in Carmarthen, for it was the chief market town, the agricultural capital, of the joint counties of Carmarthen, Pem- broke, a.nd Cardigan. These three counties were typically Welsh. Every form of the Welsh agrarian problem could be seen and examined there. They would find in those counties instances of estates where the prin- ciple of hereditary tenantry was respected; they would also find there estates where land- lords endeavoured to exercisc the power^ of feudal barons. There could be seen estates which had been sold, re-sold, and bioken up without any thought for the tenants, for their passionate attachment to their homes, or for their property in the improvements laboriously made by themselves and ancestors, or for their feelings and wishes. The present freeholder problem was bigger and more urgent there than in any part of Wales, and the successful experiment of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in selling their farms to the cultivating tenants was well known in those counties. There the land hunger was at its strongest, and it was employed to keep tenants submissive and rents high. (Hear, hear.) The sharp weapon of the notice to quit was very freely used by landlords in those sister counties. In the days when Wales was gaining its political enfranchisement the evictor was busy and relentless in West Wales. Evicting landlords had largely helped to accentuate the numbing sense of insecurity which had become the most crying grievance in Welsh agrarian relations. (Hear, hear.) In no counties could the trail of the rent-raiser be more markedly seen than in Carmarthen, Pembroke, and Cardigan; in a word, these counties had been the happy hunting-ground of the rackrenter. (Hear, hear.) The agricultural rent of England went up from 34;i millions in 1815 to 39 millions in 1842, and fell to 36 £ millions by 1895. But it might be contended that, as compared with Wales, England was much more of a corn- growing country. Take the returns of the Board of Agriculture, and compare the counties where there was th-3 fame proportion of arable and pasture land as in Wales. These counties were Cumberland, Westmoreland, Lancashire, Cheshire, Derby, Stafford, Northumberland, and Durham. In those counties rent rose from £ 9.768,302 in 1815 to £ 10,786.822 in 1842—an increase of 10'4 per cent. In 1895 the rent of those counties was £ 10,949,453—a further increase of 1'4 per cent. There was thus an increase of 12 per cent. in those counties in 1895 as compared with 1815. But some fastidious persoas maintained that it was only by taking the hilly, grazing, and *emi- Celtic counties of Cumberland, We<?tmoreland, Devon. Cornwall, a ad Cheshire that a proper comparison with Welsh counties could be made. Grant, for the sake of argument, that this was so. What were the rent figures for those five counties? In them rent rose from £ 5.599,826 in 1815 to £ 4,341.794 in 1842— an increase of 15'2 per ceut. In 1895 it stood a.t £ 4,835,267—an increase of 11 per cent. Comparing the rent of 1815 with that of 1895, they found 1lU increase of 34 per cent. Now, let them take the rent figures of the three counties of Carmarthen. Caidigan, and Pembroke. In 1815 their sent was £ 543,170; in 1842 it had risen to £ 742.275, an increase of 35'4 per cent. By 1895 it had been screwed up to £ 1,012,764, an increase of 36"4 per cent. as compared with 1842, and of 83'3 per cent, as compared with 1815. ("Shame.) During those eighty years the tillers of the soil in the three coun- ties of West Wales had re-claimed large tracts of land from wastes by infinite labour: they had effected a large proportion of all the im- provements they had paid the rates for making and maintaining roads, for the housing of the poor and of pauper lunatics, for establishing and maintaining the police force, for building and maintaining schools, and for other means of social progress and civilisation. They had, perforce, maintained the Established Church, which England kept like a yoke upon their shoulders, and yet at the end of eighty y^ars they had to pay an annual rental increased by the appalling figure of 83*3 per cent. (Loud cries of "Shame.") Turning to the report of the Land Commis- sion. he would, he said, take one out of a multitude of instances. One farmer—Mr. Simon Davies, of the parish of Penbryn— j said he had lived for fifty-five years at Panty- j bettws Farm. His rent at first was JB105 on lease. When the lease expired the rent was raised J325 per annum. He effected enormous improvements on the farm. and "about the year 1877," continued Mr. Davies to the Commissioners, "Mr. Davi.s, of Froodvale, came round to value the estate, and my rent- was raised, in consequence, to JS178. I paid this heavy rent for two or three years, but I could see it was a hopeless job rto try any longer, and I told the agent so. I said that, after s.11 my trorble and labour and money put out, I must leave unless the rent was reduced. It was reduced to B140. In 1881 Mr. Francis, an auctioneer from Carmarthen, came to value it again, preparatory to the estate being sold. In 1882 my farm was put up to auction, and withdrawn, as the highest bid was not up to the reserve price. I after- wards offered £ 4.000 for it privately, but J was refused. It was put up again in a year or two, and I made a. bid of £ 4.040 for it. but it was knocked down to a stranger for £ 4,050, only JB10 more than what was offered by the tenant who had spent years to irr.piove the farm, and who had, lIe ventured to say, sunk £ 800 in the place. ("Shame. ) He had a final notice to quit, and how much compensation did they think he obtained? J35. (Loud cries of "Shame.") Neither landlord? nor Parliament could be made to do justice unless the tenants "rere united and true to one another, for combination and loyalty to com- bination were necessary preludes to the secur- ing of an effective Act of Parliament, and Hl- dispensable safeguards for its efficient and satisfactory working (Loud applause, during which Mr. 'Eiiis resumed his seat.) THE BURDENS OF DISTRESSED FREEHOLDERS. Mr. J. Lloyd Morgan, M.P., who was heartily cheered upon rising to propose the first resolu- tion, said he had only just commenoed h:s re- marks when thue was a great deal of commo- tion at the door of the hall, owing to the inability of .-cores of the general public to find room. It wa?i then resoived to hold an over- How meeting at the Assembly-rooms. When quietness wan restored Mr. J. Lloyd Morgan pioceeded to propose tihe following resolution: "That this conference calls upon the Govern- ment to carry out the rec-ommeaida'tions which have been unanimously made by the Welsh Land Commissioners in their. report with regard to lightening the heavy burdens of l>he distressed freeholders of Wales by means of State loans at low rates of interest." What they had to do first of all, he said, was to get the Govern- ment to recognise the principle of lending money to freeholders. Once they established a case for advancing Government money to small free- holders in tihis country, then the details oon- ] I tamed in tihe recommendations oouild be dealt with and thoroughly considered. (Hear, hear.) So far as he bad been able to understand it, the history of the Welsh freeholder had been a struggle for independence. The freeholders bad lived with utmost frugality, and worked from early morning till the shades of night, calling their childretn to their aid, and all together toiling like slaves. These were the people whom the Government were asked to help, and it was devoutly hoped that that help would not be sought in vain. (Applause.) The Government were nm asked m give thi, assistance by plundering any ether class of the on terms which wcuid benefit Hot only tenant faTIIlers, but the country at large. In his opiniDll either one of two course# ought to be adopted. First, then, the Welsh members, especially those interested in agricultural affairs, and particu- larly in the small freeholders, ought as soon as possible to "bailoc for a night'' in the House of Commons for the full consideration and dill- cussion of the question. (Hear. hear.) Failing that, he suggested thalt a deputatioll should wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer and lay the whole matter before him. He also advised them to keep the freeholders' question entirely apart from others, because some aspect, of the land question were very controversial. Upon the freeholders' question, however there was a cencensus of opinion among the Liberal party, and a very la.rge r umber of Conserva tives, too so that if his suggestion was adopted no harm would be done. It did not matter to the freeholders whether they got their heart's desire from a Conservative or a Liberal Government; the thing was to get the required aid. (Applause.) Mr. Griffith Davies, Alltyoordde, Penbryn, one of the most prominent of the Cardiganshire anti-titherz, seconded the resolution in a fierv one of the most prominent of the Cardiganshire anti-titherz, seconded the resolution in a fierv Welsh speech, which was frequently applauded. He had a receipt in his pocket which showed that a farm of 224 acres, adjoining his own, was rent 150 years ago for £ 10, whereas now it was rented at £ 158. It was dearer because the down-trodden tenants had improved its value and were M-lurtant to leave the old home when the landlords took repeated advantage of this enhancement to raise the rent. ("Shame.") Eight farms in Penbryn. which were form or lv let at jB316, were now after their sale rented at £635. Hie Rev. J. Owen (Taihirion, RJllenvenna1) behoved stron-ely that the present Government would listen to the voice of the freeholders of Wales. The Rev. W. JoneR (Trewyddel) Booke of the costly process of transfer of land, and advocated reform of ihe existing law. Mr. Dd. Richards (Gilfaeh. Whitl.iridi, risin? in the body of the hall, said he had sne-nt £ 450 in improving a bit of land on the seashore, and whten the lease expired he was onlv ten minutes in which to make up his mind whether he would renew it or not. ("Shame.") He had never -recovered from the shock which euch treatment had given him. The resolution was carried with acclamation. THE AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS ACT TO BE SWEPT AWAY. Mr. Abel Thomas, Q.C., M.P., who also was accorded a..splendid reception, then pro- posed:—"That this conference calk upon the Government to amend and extend the provi- sions of the Agricultural Holding* Act, 1553, on the lines unanimously recommended by the j Commisisioners, in order to ensure to the tenant full compensation for all his improvements, and greater protection against capricious diB, n.wsal from his holding." The hon. member tickled the risibilities of his audience by attempting to address them in Welsh —an atterupk which he had to con- fess must < end in failure. They were, he said, the people of the country, atid if the landlords stood in the way—although he was a landlord himself, he e-aid it with a good conscience—they navi be made to get out of the way. It ws^ for the good of the people of Wales. (Applause.) A great thing in their favour was that some of the Commissioners were good stout Tories. They would see why it was jo u seful to them in pre-sing that lesolu- tion upon the Government whe,:i they had men like Lord Kenyan and Sir John Dillwyn Llewelyn, both of them excellent landlords, it was true, but both cf them good sound Tories. When men like those were found agreeing with Rscicala in the resolutions they had come to the farmers were in a good way of getting, it seemed to him. what they had wanted for so long. ("Hear, hear,' and applause.) He sincerely hoped that before very long that part of the Commissioners' report which dealt with the question in the resolution would be before most of the tenantry In the Welsh language, (Hear, hear.) It was of vital importance that thev should understand what the whole of the CcmmissioneiB advised shotll be done with regard to the Act of 1883. What seemed to him stronger than anything else was the unani- mous recommendation of the Commissioners ttlat no tenant should be capriciously rurned out of his holding- without compensation. (Applause.) The Act of 1883 would have to be swept away and a new Act on similar lines, but much stronger, wcujd have to be passed, but it would take much time and labour. How- ever, if they were to simply go upon what the Commissior.ers unanimously agreed in reoom- mending so far as that Act was concerned and no further, he ventured to think that they would get what would be an enormous boon to his fellow-countrymen. (Applause.) Mr. Rees Davies, speaking as the member for Pembrokeshire, said he understood that an opinion was prevalent that the southern half of the county was not as keen on laml' reform as other parts of W nles. Speaking from abundant experience on the subject,'he had no hesitation whatever in saying that no part of Wales uas more thoroughly in earnest about it than they. As thoroughly in earnest about it than they. As far as parts cf North Pembrokeshire were concerned, the subject referred to in the first resolution, viz., State loans to freeholders, that might be of primary interest: but in South Pernbrokesliire the grievances of the tenant farmers, who in ninny instances were under hard landlords, necessitated remediable legisla- tion. (Applause.) The Rev. Wm. Davies (Lland'ilo), chairman of the Carmarthenshire Farmers' Commit-iee. said he had an impression that the present Government would do its duty bv the farmer. Mr. Morgan Evans (Oakfield. Llana.rth) said the Commission had imparted new life into them. The resolution wfce tihen voted upon and adopted unanimously. LAND COURT FOR WALES. The next resolution on the agenda stood in the name of Mr. Lloyd-George, M.P., and advocated the establishment of a Welsh Land Court. —The Chairman explained that, owing to a pressing engagement, Air. George had been unable to attend, and called upon Air. A aughan Davies, M.P. for Cardiganshire, to present the resolution. Mr. Vaughan Davie*, M.P., who was well received, then proposed 'That, this ,-onTe- rence is of opinion that a. land court ought to be established in Wales, in order to ensure fair rents and better and more equitable conditions I for tenant farmers, and calls upon the Govern- ment to introduce legislation putting into opera- tion the recommendations of the majority of the Welsh Land Commissioners to that effect." He saiid he felt proud to be there to represent the county of Cardigan—("Hear, hear," and cheers) —a county which, he thought, had done as much as and suffered more for the Liberal cause than any county in Wales. (Hear, hear.) He safely said that, although the Act of 1883 had been in existence for thirteen years, it had done no good whatever to the tenant farmers of I his county. The majority of the Commission had suggested the formation of a land court on the lines of the county-court. They must, how- ever, tak* care in freeing the tenant farmers from the power of the landlords they did not put thom into the hands of the lawyers. (Laughter.) They were told that the law was equally for the rich and the poor. That wa.s very grand in theory, but how about the practice of it? Did they think that, under the present law. whe e thev had the right of appeal, that a tenant farmer'could go on fighting such a battle against his .land- lord, who had got the wealth? ("No.") What was the main point between landlord and tenant ? It was the question of rent. If that was tn be settled it had better bv far be done i an,T:'trnc"ltr"ral expert than by anvbodv els-e. ,Hear, hear.) Let the Oovernmert appoint such a one, or even two, if ntcevsary m every rovrdy, and pay those n en to be the medium for settling disputes, and ther the tenant would have a fairer chance of getting what was due to him. ("Hear, hear," aiiid ap- p'ause.) The Rev. W. Thomas (Whithnd), in seconding-, s.ajc, many knotty questicis could not posrs-hfv he settled fairly without Hw arbitration of an expert tribunal, and for that reason he warmly advocated a land court composed of gentlemen vrell versed in agricultural matters. AN OVATION FOR MR. LLOYD- GEORGE. GEORGE. Mr. Emlyn Jones (Penuwch) and Mr. J. C. Jones having spoken, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall, and in a short time Mr. Lloyd-George, M.P., was seen to push his way to the platform. His arrival gave rise to great applause, which was kept up for several minutes, and terminated in the tikigiug of "He's a jolly good fellow." The 'hon. gontieman, who had just arrived by train, from Carnarvon, where he had been engaged in a two days' sitting before the magistrates, was accommodated with a seat, Imt was at once called upon by the Chairman to support the resolution. Mr. Lloyd-Georige, also speaking in Welsh, said the question was asked, "Why did yon invoke legislative interference for the purpose of fixing the price of land more than any tether commodity?" The answer was a simple and, a¡1 he thought, a conclusive one: Competition affected the price of land in a very different manner to that in which it affected goods in general. The general effect of competition was to reduce the price of an article, but with land its only influence was to increase the price: and that was not the full statement of the case, because, whilst competition increased the value of the land, it decreased the value of the pro- duce out of which the. farmer was enabled to pay the rent, so that it beoame necessary that the farmer should be protected against extor- tionate rents. His second reason was that it wai fgund as a faot that rents were in Wales much too high, and this was attribuhlble to the f»ot th** farmers, rwthe; than quit their homes, laid extravagant prices to ths landlord. The I fact oi the matter was, farmers had been paying Ij rente for the [ago ten years not £0 lllU0h OUtt of their own earnings as out of the accumulated earnings of the industry of themselves and of their fathers for generations past. The fat of the land went into the pockets of the landlords, people who had done nothing to earn it. Landlords were like a flock of eheep on grazing land; after they had teen there, there was nothing left for any other animal. (Loud applause and laughter.) The I*tad Commission had looked into the landlords' packs and found that they contained very inferior good". Hryw had thE; lardlords became possessed of ihe land H was easy of explanation—their ancestors had the charm of being good robbers of land, and they were in their present position because they | were descendants of thieves. ("Hear, hear," and applause.) There were as good men as 1 they in the di.-strict—men who ha.d always been industrious and abstemious, who rose early tù 1 follow their a.voca.+u.O'1S. and retired late at ingot to rest; but, unfortunately for them, they were the children of honest | parents—nobody belonging to them had ( stolen land in the past. (Applause.) i However, a brighter day was dawning for the honest farmer-, and they were there in crowds that day to assert their rights. The hon. that day to assert their rights. Th'3 hon. member then referred to the Penrhyn Quarry digpute, Lord Penrttyn's name being received with prolonged hisses. The people of that part of the Principality, he said, were honest people. He bad the best proof of their was a common there not stolen. (Loud laughter, and applause.) The mountain was free, as it should be. but one day a Scotsman came down í to Carnarvonshire: the mountain was enclosed ftId the common taken possession of. Iin the mountain the Scotsman found a quarry, and he was made a lord for his disoov8T\ (Derisive J laughter.) In that quarry 3.000 Welshmen worked hard to secure a fortune for the lord, but they were not. treated like men, notwith- standing and now t!1é men stood up for their riehts without a dissentrent voice among theim. He was glad to say tha.t the Churchmen amongst the workmen were standing a#: firm as the Met. Heaven helped those who helped themselves; and 08.S in the Penrhyn -dispute 80 in the land agitation he hoped the farmers w01Jld stand as one man in the attempt to help themselves. If I they did that, he had no doubt as to the issue. •; THE PROTECTION OF WITNESSES. Air. Llewelyn Williams then proposed — ] "That this conference supports the demand which has been unanimously put forward by the Commissioners that a public inquiry should be made into the operation of the Witnesses' Pro- tection Act, 1892. especially as complaints have been made bv witnesses in these three counties 1JJat they have been damnified by having- given evidence before the Wekh Land Commission." He drew attention to the fact, that about a dozen witnesses from the three counties brought their complaint before the Commissioners that they had been damnified for giving evidence. The Commissioners reported that they were cases for inquiry, and the Home Secretary had insti- tuted a private inquiry. They, however, de- manded a public inquiry into the allegations. Air. J. H. Davies (Cwrtmawr) seconded, and the resolution was carried unanimously. THE GEE TESTIMONIAL. The Chairman referred to Mr. 'Ihomas Gee's work on behalf of the farmers of Wales, aud asked the people of West Wales to respond liberally to the appeal now be-ing made for funds to raise a testimonial worthy of him. THE LATE DR. ENOCH DA VIES. The Rev. Towyn Jones (Garnant) proposed a vote of condolence with the family of the late Dr. Enoch Davies, Brynteify. It was to such men as Dr. Davies that Wales was in- debted for the Commission and the lirospects arising out of its deliberations.—Air. Lloyd Alorgan. M.P., a personal friend of the deceased, seconded in a brief address, and the resolution was carried amidst silence. An enthusiastic- vote of thanks having been accorded the chairman, on thp motion of Mr. I J. Lewis. A-Ieiros Hall. Llangeler. the meeting terminated with the li-arty singing of "Hen Wiad fy Nliadau."

SWANSEA TRIPLE SCHEME.
SWANSEA TRIPLE SCHEME. IMPORTANT DEPUTATION TO THE MAYOR. I On Saturday morning an influential deputa- tion, headed by Mr. J. R. Leaver, and including Miss Dillwyn, Messrs. E. Austm Williams, T. W. James, D. M. Cla-sbrook, Stephen Thomas, and others, waited on the mayor of Swansea to prefer the request that the Parliamentary Bill on the triple scheme. &c., should not be burdened with the side issues of widening Castle-street and erecting university offices. Air. Leaver, Aliss Dillwyn, and Mr. Williams having spoken asking the mayor to use his influence to have the polO takmi on the triple scheme question pure and simple, otherwise it would be money washed and would evolve no real decision. The Mayor, in reiply. expressed his own anxiety that the vote should bp direct on the triple scheme question, and proceeded to ex- plain how the other matters came to be in- cluded. To meet the great difficulty, he said he was prepared to recommend the councsd to wvthdraw the clauses relating to Castle-street, but not with regard to the university offices, which was an imperative matter. The Town-clerk said that to promote a sepa- rate Bill for the university question on the merest off-chance that Swansea would be selected would be a monstrous propoaition. To include this question in the Bill was really their only chance of getting the offices to Swansea. The Mavor, having thanked tihe deputation, said he would take care to lay their views before the corporation, who would take the respon- sibility of deciding on the course to be adopted. Thanks to the mayor concluded the proceed- ings.
