Her Last Words. I DAME WALES: t- Now, bachan, remember the wackin' you did get from the Englishman, an', look you. take it out of this chap in return."

NOTES FROM LONDON. f ALL THE GOSSIP OF TOWN AND CLUBS. Lord Rosebery's name will go down to posterity as that of the great Bogey Man of Downing-street. To-day he had his third surprise Cabinet during the recess. It was called even more suddenly than the others. H;]d not the public mind become habituated to Lord Rosebery's bogey tricks, there would have been another scare. As :t is, the soothing announcement is to be put forth to-morrow that the Cabinet was only to consider the words of the Queen's Speech. I think it is more than probable that some- thing else was considered. It was certainly not necessary to call the Cabinet together ( at a day's notice to consider the Queen's Speech. THE TRUTH INADVERTENTLY TOLD. Earl Spencer's indiscreet frankness last night has greatly annoyed his colleagues, from the Premier to the humblest spokesman in the Cabinet. They have been preaching up and down the country that the Govern- ment do not perceive any necessity for a. general election for a considerable time to come. Poor Earl Spencer, in the innocence of his heart, declares that a general election will take place soon, and that within two months the Government will introduce their resolution against the Lords and will then dissolve. I do not apprehend that the Government will have an opportunity of introducing a resolution or anything else. They will stand or fall by the Address, and are prepared to fall. SELECTING THE EXECUTIONER. As at present understood, Sir Edward Clarke is to move the fatal amendment from the Front Opposition Bench that will wreck the Cabinet, but this is not definitely decided. In fact, the Opposition leaders can only make approximate or contingent arrange- ments until they have seen the actual words of the Queen's Speech. But their intention to throw out the Government on the Address being known to Ministers, you may expect ttie Queen's Speech to assume £ us nearly the form of an election manifesto as | may be permissible in so august a document. THE PREMIER'S LATEST BLUNDER. The Premier's latest blunder is probably his worst. After making the absolutely ridiculous statement that the Roman Catholics are better entitled to the endowments of the Church of England than is the Church of England, he has declined to discuss the matter. This is sillier than chalking up "No Popery" and running away. It will recoil on its author. Sir. Impey could enlighten the Premier on the point. I speak by the bc-ok,^ or, rather, by his confessions in the "Westminster Gazette'' to-day. One of his principal reasons for defeat is the deca- dence of Dissent. This is in full con- firmation of what I have been able to com- municate to you, as the result of research throughout the country, that the Noncon- formist feeling in favour of Disestablishment is cooling, and that this is a result of the steady decrease of Nonconformity. PATRIOTIC, PURE, AND POOR. Lord Randolph Churchill's patriotism was of the sort that is pure, and it, therefore, left him comparatively poor. It has never been concealed that when he flounced out cf office at Christmas, 1886, he made a tremen- dous pecuniary sacrifice, for the £ 5.000 a year of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for six years was an income noi, to be despised by a poor man. Lord Randolph had no costly vices, but he spent his money with a lordly hand. His racing experience, both when in partnership with Lord Dunra,vell a.nd when he raced on liis own account, made away with some of his money, though his losses were not ruinous, for he was nwt a gambling sportsman. He ran his iiorses fairly and squarely for sport, and backed their chances with courage tempered bv prudence. I have always understood that Lord Randolph benefited indirectly bv the said of the Blenheim pictures. "Anyhow, both the late dukes, his fat-heir and his brother, were proud of him. loved him devotedly, and would have done anything in their nower to make straight his WilV. It is said he made money by one or two speculative investments, but I fancy his >y- perience was the usual experience of nwn who go down from the West- End to the City, namely, that their losses are more than their gains. THE CHURCHILL FAMILY. If the present duke were to marry there will be thre.e Duchesses of Marlborough alive, and as a matter of justice there ought to be four. There is the Dowager Duchess, the mother of Lord Randolph there is the Duchess, t.he second wife of the late I duke and there is the Marchioness of Bland- ford. the first wife of the late duke, who is not a duchess onlv by the accident that she divorced him before, he succeeded to the ducal title. Lord Randolph's six sisters are happily married. They also have rich hus- bands. There is. I believe, no record of six sisters having been thus happily married to able and amia.ble young men, each with a hand- some fortune—each a millionaire or nigh unto the same. It has been calculated, indeed, tha-t the six sisters of Lord Rantiolph married well over ten millions of money. They are the Duchess of Roxburghe, Lady vY I m borna. Ladv Tweedmouth, Ladty De Ra-msfcy. Viscountess Curzon, and Ladv Sarah Wilson. Lady Sarah was the }.aÙ married. Her husband is Mr. George Wilson. of the Horse Guards Blue. son of Sir Samuel Wilson, the millionaire, who rented Lord Beaconsfield's house. Hughenden. THE BIRMINGHAM INCIDENT. Poor Lord Randolph was so often accnsftd j of disloyalty and ili-discipline tha.t I mast revert to the unhappy Birmingham -neideat. This was at the bye-election of 1889, when, on the death of Mr. John Bright. Lord Randolph perplexed, pained., and disappointed his friends, both in Birmingham and through- out the country, bv backing out of the pledge he had given to contest Central Birmingham. The seat being claimed by the Libe-al Unionists, despite an understanding that it was to revert to the Tories when Mr. Br'ght ceased to represent it. Lord Randolph reluc- tantly sacrificed his desires and hopes, and. under cover of an arbitration by Lord Salisbury and Lord Hartington, the se-it was awarded to the Liberal Unionists. It was sample loyalty to his colleagues that stiffened Lord Randolph to resist the earnest persuasions of his friends that he would go down to Birmingham and fight for the scat against all-comers. I heard from the lips of ere who was present a graphic description of the scene in Lord Randolph's house when his irrevocable decision was made. It was late at night. Three men in two hansoms met at Lord Randolph's door. Their errand was one. It was to dissuade him from obeying the award. I will only mention one of the names. It was that of Mr. Louis Jennings, the late member for Stockport. one of Lord Randolph's stoutest supporters. The other two are alrve. Lady Randolph was present, and she was the most earnest in pressing him to go down and fight. Her entreaties becsine J passionate. Her face flushed, her eyes sparkled, and, as my informant put it, she looked as if she would slap his face. But Lord Randolph was immovable. He could be as stubborn in his loyalty as he could be unruly in his waywardness. And no doubt he was right, for, though he would have beaten the Litei-al Unionists out of Central Birmingham, he would probably have in- flicted a fatal blow on the Unionist alliance.

BURNS' CONCERT. A GOODLY GATHERING AT THE CARDIFF PARK.HALL. [BY OUR LADY CORRESPONDENT.! Despite the drifting snow and the slippery pavements and the> biting cold, the gathering1 o' the clans at 4be Park-hail, Cardiff, cn Friday night was very satisfactory, and most ladies in the balcony honoured the memory of Burns by coming in evening dress, and the white opera cloaks, with here and there a note of scarlet or blue, gave a. pretty effect. We noticed amongst the audience Mrs. Lucovieh and party, Mrs. Hier Evans, Sire. Spencer (late of Llan- dough). Mr. and Mrs. Fulton, and many other notabilities of the neighbourhood, and, of course, all the "bonnif Soots" who are exiled in the Welsh Metropolis. Madame Clara Novello Davies and her husband we-re in the balcony, quite enjoying the concert. Air. Frangcon Davies accompanying them. himself one of the distinguished baritones of the day. Miss Coss- lett, of whose charming singing we are so proud, looked very well in a blue a.nd pink brocade. Her bodice was of pink ohiffon a.nd bands of blue velvet. Her singing of 'Twas within a mile of Ed in bro' toon was, to our < hinking. the gem of the concert. Sir. Norman Salmond was most enthusiastically received and encored. What a magnificent voice he has Mr. Strouach's first song was persistently encored, his remark- ably sweet voice making an evident impression. Miss Marion M'Kenzie looked very charming in a pale greenish-blue dre^s seamed with gold and the low oorsage and puff sleeves trimmed with rosettes of wliite chiffon, and won the hearts of the audience at once, with her fine con- tralto voice, a.nd her duet,, "0 wert. thou in the could blast," with Miss Cosslett was delightful. Mr. Risley's magnificent rendering of The Storm on a, Lake was a masterpiece of execu- tion. and at the close he received a perfect ovation. The audience persisted in an encore, and "would not be happy till they got it." To those who were instrumental in getting up the concert and assembling of such talent we owe a most delightful evening.

COLONEL HOWARD VINCENT. On Friday erening Colonel Howard Vincer t M.P., addressed a meeting at the Temperance^ hall, Aberdare. in support of the candidature of Mr. Herbert C. Lewis for the borough of Mer- thyr. The chair was taken by Mr. James I Lewis, J.P., Plasdraw.—Colonel Vincent in the course of his speech expressed his grateful thanks for the reception given to him on the previous night by the working men of Cardiff. He spoke, not only, he said, of the welcome at the station, and of the vast and gigantic meet- ing, which had taken him entirely by surprise, but of the cordial greeting subsequently extended to him within the walls of the Conser- vative Working Men's Club. And he felt certain that all the Conservative and Unionist electors of the borough of Merthyr would have been rejoiced had they seen the way in which these thousands of working men of Cardiff received on Thursday night their friend, their candidate, and their future member, Mr. Herbert, C. Lewis. (Applause.)

WELSH FNIVERSITY. I MEETING OF THE COURT OF I GOVERlvORS. A meeting of the Court of the University of Wa.les took place at the Baren Hotel. Shr ws bury on Thursday. In the absence of Lord Aber dare, who was unable to attend through indie position, the chair was taken by Mr. W. llath- bone, who said he was sorry to have to do so. especially as Dr. Isambard Owen, who bad done so much for the university, was present.—Dr. E. D. Roberts, on behalf of the Gilchrist Trustees, London, wrote offering the University of Wales a scholarship (or studentship) for teachers under conditions specified.—Dr. I Owen proposed the acceptance of the offer, and that Dr. R. D. Roberts be elected an ex-officic member of the committee.— The motion was agreed to.-A communication was read from the registrar of the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire to the effect that the Lean cf Llandaff had been elected president of that college in the place of the Marquess of Bute; and the Lord President cf the Council wrote stating the Marquess of ISute had been elected a member of the court of the University of Wales for life.—A commu- nication from the secretary of the senate I announced tha.1 Mr. Lloyd Tanner bad been elected to represent the South Wales and Mon- mouthshire College on the university court in i succession to Professor Sorley.—The Chairman j said t-ht next business, though simpJe. was very important-the appointment of chancellor. Their choice would naturally and inevitably fall on Lord Aberdare, who had given immense service to education during the past 30 years. (Applause.) They may almost look upon him as the founder of the present system of complete education from the bottom to the top. When they looked back upon the past ten years he thought there was no necessity for words, because history and facts spoke with far move eloquence than they could do.—Lord Aberdare was unanimously appointed chancellor.—Mr. Brynmor Jones. M.P.. moved that Mr. Rathbone be elected senior deputy chancellor.—The Chairman said if there was one man suitable for the office it was Dr. 1. Owen. and withdrew his nomination in favour of Dr. Owen, who was elected senior deputy chancellor, and Mr. Humphreys Owen deputy chancellor.—Tiie Senate presented their report the syllabus for arithmetic and algebra, and recommended certain alterations. Five candidates for the office of registrar attended, and Mr. Ivor James (Cardiff) was eventually elected.—Mr. C. Maynard Owen (London) was appointed solicitor to the univer- sity.—At this stage Mr. Ratlibone vacated the chair, and Dr. Isambard Owen presided in his place.—Mr. Rathboiie proposed a vote of thanks to Dr. Isambard Owen, who, in response, said the importance of the University of Wales, in his eyes, was so great- that he had always felt no private feeling could possibly overweigli it. (Apnhr se.)—The number of theological experts from outside to sit on the theological board should not exceed four, a-nd Principal Fair- bairn. Dr. Mculton, Canon Driver, and Pro- fessor Harries were. ekcted. The members of the court chosen to act on the board were the Rev. J. Douglas Watters, the Rev, J. M. Jones, the Rev. 1.1. Edwards, and the Rev. W. Evaus.-The following was choten as the motto of the university:—"Goreu awen Gwirionedd"—Latin "Optima musa Veritas." —The meeting then terminated.

DOCKERS' MEETING. ADDRESS BY MR. BEN TILLETT AT CARDIFF. Alderman Ben Tillett, ganeral secretary of the Docker./ Union, was announced to deliver an address at H'ie Colonial-hall, Cardiff, on Friday night to *,he members of the Dockers' Union a,!id men who sympathise with it.—The Chairman (Mr. Councillor J. Jenkms, presi- dent of the Cardiff Tiades' Council), appeared upon the platform at 8.20, with Mr. Tillett, and the attendance, all told, was less tliaj 200. — ihe Chairman having opened the proceedings, Mr. Dite proposed:—"That this meeting- of Cardiff dockers and other workers expresses its belief that it is only by combination in Trades Unions that many of the grievances of the workers .;an lie redressed, and pledges itself, individually and in a body, to again rally to the ranks of the Union."—Mr. Tom M'Carthy. '.roin -M-C local organiser, seconded.—The Chairman then put the resolution, which was carried unani- mously.—Alderman Tillett was then called upon, and expressed regret at the conditions of work existing in Cardiff. He did not blame the dockers generally, because many things could be urged on their behalf, but there was no reason why the dockers should not make the beet of their circumstainces. Although lie had been an agitator for ten years, and lioped to con- tinue ene, he had never called men out on strike, If they were united, they would not be pinched and punished and hrowbeaten and terrorised as they were to-day. He would stand by th'T Cardiff workers for all they were worth, but if there were signs of weakn-eiss, if there was in- gratitude a-nd. a disinclination to stick to their guns, then Cardiff men must put up with the consequences. A section of the press would have them believe that all poverty was caused by drink, but even in the lowest type of society only 13 per oent. of the poverty was to be attri- buted to drink. (Applause.)—After the usual votes of thanks, the proceedings terminated with the un der stand in cr that an opportun it-y should be given for enrolling men weekly 111 The Union.

"T An Aerial Polar Fleet. FOR EXPLORING THE UN- KNOWN NORTH. An Expert Says is is Not so Difficult as it Seems and is Safer than Sledding Over the Ice. A systematic endeavour to penetrate anif explore the Arctic Ocean and to reach the North Pole, now covering more than three centuries, has resulted in absolute failure. 1 Vsterans and raw recruits, experienced navi- gators from the foremost navies of the world, as well as hardy landsmen, backed by all known skill and ample financial resources, have all been baffled in this prolonged quest. There is hardly a civilised government that has not sent some of its daring eons to an encounter with this all-defying North. A small army of men have gone forth to en- dure privation and trial, to put forth every effort-, only to succumb to hunger and cold, to fail, heroically it might be. but to fail nevertheless. Expeditions, wheth-er under the auspices of commerce or science, dike have shared the common fate. It is evident tiiat all efforts on the old lines to reach the unexplored Polar interior should be. aban- doned. A suggestion is now made to reach the Pole with aerial ships. Either this must be done or a better knowledge must be secured of the physical peculiarities of the shore lines of the Arctic basin. It is known that this great sea has an area whose dia- meter is about 40 degrees, or 2,400 miles, which implies a coast line of 7,200 miles, with the Pole well toward Greenland and Spitzbergen Islands. The three outlets all fall within one-half of the coast circle, namely, from Behring's Strait, the (smallest, and on the Pacific, to the arm of the Atlantic that pro- jects northward between Greenland and Nor- way. Between these, and second as to size, is tiie Baffin's Bay connection, dividing Green- land from the North-Eastern Coast of Nordi America. Now, by far the largest outlet is that wide expanse of the Atlantic arm that extends Poleward beyonu Iceland, and this approach, where the ice has the freest- and readiest egress, should, other conditions being equal, be tiie course to navigate to reach as near a base of operations as is practicable. This is what may be done. The expedition is to be properly equipped and with experienced aeronauts, to make an aerial journey Poleward, from the base selected and. wnh a favouring wind, tins should be done inside of 24 hours. What is needed is a fleet of not less tha-u four air ships, each with an inner, a. central, and aa outer structure, the intervening spaces well inflated, the baskets properly ballasted with food, instruments, arms, and ammunition. Eight pTsons at last should go on this voyage, each assigned to a particular duty. It can be demonstrated that at least a two months' < floatation can thus be secured. This quar- j teste of ships, each being virtually a tripii- cate vessel to insure safety, can float to- y gether, being suatabtv connected. Each Siiould Oe a,clt to be, witù safetv all the members of the expedition on the final return journey: some of the ships being necessary simply for their reservoirs of gas, to be utilised in c-tse of an emergency. If an island be found," iet' a landing be made if practicable or deemed justifiable, and let the ships be tethered while exploring 1 cone. If no suitable terra firma be found in mid-ocean, let the sailing and ohservati:«i continue till some shore or coast is reached. As this should be in the later spring, in the day of several months' duration, the Arctic region should be crossed and re-crossed in various directions in favouring currents and thoroughly scanned. Oi course, liiese • men would incur hazards, vet not so great, as others took under the old methods, and when there was neither chance of reach" the Pole nor petting away. All darmp: implies hazard. Thej'e are no violent storms during the Arctic summer, fogs "n spring being_Jdie most difficult feature in the Porar meteorology. The floating should be as low as is consistent with safety in avoiding the surface. When landings are made. one of the ships should be used for stationary obser- vation. as a captive, in which an observer may ascend, and, with a good glass, take in the local surroundings. If it be true, as is claimed for Mr. Maxim, that. with b.. rapidly revolving fans, he can so cleave the air as to propel his aeroplane, when mounted on a car and on a track, then this mo: "'e power can be suspended from such a safe air ship as has been under consideration, and the mechanism, not being taxed to main- tain buoyancy, can be applied to determining direotions—to tacking more or less, and. If so. the voyaging over and around the Pole from a near-bv station would be exceedingly simplified. There is no question as to getting to or over the Polar region and from it. on the plan indicated, and with intelligent management the vital purposes of such na expedition should be accomplished and the. return journey be made without any particu- lar jeopardy. Long journeys by air I: I ,e, been made with many fold more risky vessel* than this 500 or 800 miles over tile route to the Po4e. It is true that no such journey' has as yet been made by a fleet of air ships, but this is only an added element of safety, and must be a strong contributory factor to success. The landing on the ;m- mediate Polar area would bs of no spe vd utilitarian consequence, unless it be true tbrt there is a mild interior. There will he nothing even remarkable or recognisable as a pole. There will not even be any kno" n way of determining its location by a score of miles. It will simply be a supreme *atjc. faction to have been there. The pion;«r aerial navigators will liavs no means of knowing their rate of speed, ajid there will be no familiar marks from which to gauge location. But, while th", chances are t,at this hitherto enigmatical region can be made to divulge its secrets, the likelihood is that those who succeed, if success is once accom- plished. will yield to considerable disappoiot- ffiflllt. Certainly this is the way. and lw only way. of .solving the Polar problem, as any Arctic goose or duck could from t.ho first have informed us. It would. ind'Vid, be amazing if intelligent man's resources did not equal those of a common fowl.

DISESTABLISHMENT. THE BILL ACCORDED FIRST PLACE 3N EXT SESSION. In ocnnection with the meet nig of the Calumet it may be definitely stated that-, though Lore Roseberv indicated in his Carddf speech some of the measures which he would like to see passed before the dissolution of Parliament, the Cabinet has not. gone beyond settline that the Welsh Disestablishment Bill shall take first place. Another meeting- of the Cabinet is likely to fbe held towards the end of the coming week.
