imperial parliament HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY. The first Vote in Supply was the Vote for the Irish Constabulary, which was debated for upwards of three aud a-half hours. Mr Bilfour, in replying to the criticisms of Mr Sexton, said that the number of extra Constabulary in the Counties on 1st January, 1887. just before the Crimes Act came into force, was fifteen hundred and fifty two, aud July I of the present year, it was eleven hundred and sixty six. He hoped soon to make a further reduction of ninety-two. Accom- panying that decrease there hai ;heen a subsidence in the strained relations between the people and the police who were now on the most friendly terms. It would bo convenient for all parties if the Irish police were a more centralised body than it was. If the Irish mem- bers looked forward to a time when there was to be a new heaven and a new earth for Ireland,.the last thing they would wish to see altered in form' or substance was the Royal Irish Constabulary. Mr Sexton finally moved the reduction of the Vote by fifty-five thousand pounds, but the reduction was rejected by 87 to 62, and the Vote was agreed to. The Irish Prisons Vote was also debated at considerable length and agreed to. Ten non-contentious Votes were next:disposed of, the number passed for the day being twelve. The London County Council (Money) Bill was read a third time. The second reading of the Clergy Discipline (Immorality) Bill was so warmly opposed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer cousented..to the adjonr- nitnt of the Debate, HOUSE OF LORDS, TIICRSDAY. The London County Council (General Powers) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Post Office Acts Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY. Mr Cobb put several questions to the Home Secrc tary as to the prize-fight with gloves between Smith and Pritchard, reported in The Standard of Tuesday. The Home Secretary replied that if evidence was forth- coming to him to show that there was anything of an illegal character about any fight, he would not hesitate to direct that proceedings should be taken against the combatants, whether the fight took place with or with- out gloves. The Lords' Amendments to the Elementary Educa- tion Bill were considered. In the Lower House the Government had accepted an amendment that the Free School accommodation should be suitable. This was struck out by the Lords, and Mr Mundella now moved i ts!restoration, as a guarantee that children shouldinot be compelled to attend Denominational Schools, to which their parents objected. The Lords' Amendment gave rise to a long discussion, in the course of which Sir VV. Haraourt asserted that it had been made With the express object of injuring or hamstringing Free Education and destroying the Bill. Sir W. Hart Dyke said that what had been the practice of the Depart- ment for the last twenty years would be the practice under this Bill, and that the term "suitable" had never been applied to Public Elementary Schools. On a Division the Lords' Amendment was sustained. After a number of other Amendments had been moved on the Lords' new clause, Mr H. Fowler asked the Speaker whether this clause, which would have the effect of increasing the grant, was not an infraction of the privileges of the Commons. The Speaker replied that if the Lords' Amendment had the effect of in- creasing the grant given to any school it would be a case of privilege. Mr Fowler thereupon moved the adjournment of the debate, that the Government might have an opportunity of considering their position in reference to whit was a very serious invasion of the privileges of the House. The debate was accordingly adjourned. The House then went into Committee of Supply, when Sir W. Hare Dyke made his annual educational statement. HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY. The Railway Rates and Charges Bills were read a third time and paused. Lord Cadogan moved the second readiug of a Bill giving to perpetuity lease- holders in Ireland power to redeem their rent if their landlords consented and in the event of any landlord not. consenting they would he able, under the Act of 1887, to have a fair rent fixed. After a short discus- sion the Bill was read a second time. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, replying to Sir W. Harcourt, said the Government frankly accepted toe decision of the Speaker to the effect that the new Clause inserted in the Elementary Education Bill, authorising the grouping of schools, and the transfer of the fee grant of the richer schools to the poorer, in volved a breach of the money privileges of the Com- mons, if it li-ici the effect of doing away in some cases, with the 17s fid limit. The Government would pro- pose to negative the Amendment of the Lords, aud substitute another amendment for it in terms which would guard the privileges of the House. With regard to the business of the House, if Supply was fillish,a at the si ting then in progress the second reading of the Appr priation Bill would be taken on Monday, and on Thursday he hoped they would be able to adjourn to Saturday, when the Prorogation would take place. In Committee of Supply, the Scotch Education Vote was discussed at some length and agreed to. On the Vote for Irish Education, Mr Balfour, referring to the Training Colleges Bill. said he would withdraw the Bill, looking to the opposition to it, and deal with the money part of it, not by Bill, .but in the Estimates. The Vote was agreed to after several hourt.' discussion, and the remaining Votes were proceeded with. HOUSE OF COMMONS SATURDAY. The House held a sitting on Saturday, when the amendment inserted in the London and North Western Railway Rates Bill in reference to the charges on a number of lines of railway in North vValea was agreed to. On the report of the Post Office Vote, the Postmaster General, replying to various speakers, said that the expenditure, as compared with that of last year, showed an increase in the Post Office Vote of E450,000 and for Telegraphs. £ 172,000. The reason for the increase! expenditure was to be found in the very comprehensive measures that had been framed for im- proving the condition of the staff. Almost every branch of the service had shared in that improvement. With regard to the postmen and otheis who were dis- missed in consequence of their action I \st year, those who had any special claim to consideration had been reinstated, and places had been found for a consider- able number of ex-posnnen in towus at no great distance from London. The report was agreed to, as was also the report of the vote for the Telegraph Service. # On the Army Vote, discussions were raised in reference to the employment of a troop of Hussars to keep order at tithe distraints in North Wales, and also in reference to the new rifle. The Chanchellor of the Exchequer, on the report of the Vote for the Admiralty Office, said that certain expenditure would be incurred for the entertainment of the French Fleet on their forthcoming visit to Portsmouth. The cost would be paid out of the surplus of other votes, but if the c surplus was not enough a Supplementary Estimate would be proposed in the coming session. The report of supply was concluded after debates which lasted upwards of six hours. The Appropriation Bill was then brought in and reaa a first time. The Coinage Bill and the Statute Law Revision Bill passed through Committee. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY. The Foreign Marriages Bill was read a second time. On the motion of Lord Denman, the Woman's Suffrage Bill, which was ordered on 17th February last to be read a second time that day six months, was ordered to be placed on the paper for to-day. The sitting was suspended, and on resuming, at twenty-five minutes to one this morning, their Lordships read the Coinage bill a nrst time. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY. The Lords' Amendments to the County Councils Elections Bill were considered and agreed to. Mr Atkinson, who resumed his place after his suspension, asked for a day to discuss the motions he had put upon the paper relating to Mr De Cobain, and the conduct of the Speaker but the Chancellor of the Exchequer declined to give the facilities demanded. Mr Atkinson then asked for a day for the discussion of a motion to expunge from the Journals of the House the entry respecting him, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in declining to give a day, hoped that this painful incident would be allowed to drop. On the motion for the second reading of the Appro- priation Bill, Mr J. Redmond moved a resolution with the view of obtaining a resousideration of the sentences on Daly, Egan, and other convicts for treason-felony. In the course of a protracted debate, Mr Parnell supported the amendment, and Sir W. Harcourt opposed it. It was ultimately rejected by 96 to 39, and the Bill was read a second time. The Lords' Amendments to the Factories aud Work- shops Bill were agreed to with some slight modifica- tions. The Coinage Bill was read a third time, and ¡ the Lords' Amendments to the London Public Health Bill were agreed to. The Clergy Discipline (Immor- ality) Bill was withdrawn. HOUSE OF LORDS TUESDAY. The Second reading of the Women's Suffrage Bill, which was moved by Lord Deiimau, was negatived without a division. On tb clause added by their Lordships to the Elementary Education Bill, and held by the Speaker of the House of Commons to be an invasion of the privileges of that House, Lord Cran- brook submitted a new Clause, carrying out tie ob- jects of the other Clause, but in different praeseoiogy. The substituted Clause was agreed to. Lord Salisbury said it appeared to him that the claim set up in the reasons of the Commons was ex- cessive, and was in advance of any claim previously asserted. It was necessary that their Lordships should watch over their 'privileges, and he, therefore moved that ,the House, in making the said Amend- ment, did not consent that the said reasons should be hereafter drawn into a precedent. Lord Kimberley believed it was necessary to safeguard the privileges of the House, which he thought would be done by the motion of the noble Marquess. The motion was then agreed to. The Foreign Marriages Bill passed through Com- mittee, and was read a third time. The Coinage Bill was read a second and third time. The Commons' Amendments to the Irish Land Purchase Bill and to several other Bills were agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY. Mr Atkinson, as a Visiting Justice of twenty-seven years' standing, asked the Home Secretary for leave to visit a convict at Chatham alleged to have been punished with undue severity. The Home Secretary declined to supersede the present visitors, or to ap- point any special Visiting Justices. The Appropria- tion Bill passed through Committee. Sir John Gorst, in making his annual statement as to the finances of India, compared the three years end- ing 31st March, 1890, 1891, and 1892. In the first of these years the predicted surplus had been practically realised in the second the final surplus had swelled to 1:3,665,000, of which two and a half millions were saved to the Revenue by tne rise in the value of the rupee and in the current year the estimated s-urplus had increased from £ 116,000 to 9396,000. The posi- tion of Indian finance was hopeful and prosperous, there was no prospect of any frontier expedition, and the danger of famine which threatened to affcct the expenditure had now disappeared. After a long debate the formal resolution was agreed to at mid- night. The new Clause in the Education Bill passed in the afternoon by the House of Lords was agreed to. The Betting and Loans (Infants) Bill was withdrawn,

ABERDOVEY. ADDRESSES BY PRINCIPAL ROBERTS AND MR. T. E. ELLIS. On Friday tea was given to the school children of Aberdovey in commemoration of the appointment of Mr T. F. Roberts, M.A., to the principalship of Aber- ystwyth College, and in the evening a public meeting was held at which addresses were delivered in Welsh by Principal Roberts and Mr T. E. Ellie, M.P. for the county. The tea was arranged by Mr T. W. Owen, of London,a schoolfellow of Mr Roberts's, Captain William Daniel, and a committee of ladies. After tea sports were held on the Common. Among the ladies assist- ing at the tables were Mrs J. Hughes Jones, Mrs Capt Williams, Mrs Captain Daniel, Mrs Owens, the James, the Misses Jenkins, Miss Owen, Miss Williams Miss Evans and the lady teachers of the schools. The evening meeting was to have been held at seven but in consequence of the Cambrian having to wait an hour at Barmouth Junction for the Groat Western train, it was after eight o'clock before the meeting commenced. The chair WAS taken by Mr J. Hughes Jones,and in the assembly, which numbered about 130, was the Rev Mr Rowlands, the vicsr of the parish. Letters apologising for non-attendance were read from the Rev John Owen, formerly of Aberdovey, and from Mr H. Owen, Board School, Glandovey, master of the National School at Aberdovey,under whom Mr Roberts received some of his elementary instruction. After a brief introduction by the Chairman, Mr T. W. OWEN moved That this meeting desires to con- gratulate Principal T. F. Rober s, M.A., on his ap- pointment as principal of the University College (Of Wales at Aberystwyth, and to show its great j..y tnat one whe was born and reared at Aberdovey should have merited so much houour and been deemed worthy of so important a trust. "We wish," continued the resolution, Principal Roberts every success in the direction of an institution that had done Wales such immense service, and the University College under his charge a continuance of the pre-emiueuee which it has so long maiutaiued iu the elevation of Wales and the Welsh." In moviug the proposition, Mr Owen referred to the importance of the College in the life of \Vales, the deep interest Merioneth had taken in the institu- tion, and the support given to it by the workmen of the county. He knew people preaeut who contributed out of their need to its support, hoping to derive tome direct advantage from it. In that direction they might have been disappointed, but they could not have failed to receive some indirect advantage, for where- ever any of the students were, contact with them was of great value. (Hear, hear.) Gatherings like that, he thought, were useful in encouraging the youth of the place. Referring to the subject of education, Mr Owen commended the sailors of that coast to the special attention of Mr Roberts and Mr Ellis, remark- ing that at the present time there was no efficient 11 means of learning navigation in the district, though it was acknowledged that in no part of the kingdom were there a better class of men for practical seaman- ship than those hailiug from Cardigan Bay ports. (Cheers.) Mr JONES HUGIIES seconded the proposition and it was carried, Principal ROBERTS, acknowledging it, expressed the great pleasure it was to him to be present in his native place on that occasion, and hoped that the proceedings of that day would prove a stimulus to some of the children who had taken part in them to excel in know- ledge and to make the beet of their opportunities. He remembered Aberdovey over twenty years ago when the advantages it offered to young people were much fewer than was now the case, and when, as Mr Owen had said, there was very little to encourage young men to go forward. Mr Owen himself was one of those, who, in spite of difficulties, had attained honourable position and was using it for the benefit of his country iu every possible way. (Cheers.) Auother of his (Mr Roberts's) schoolfellows was the late Evan Owen. After working for years in the Corris Quarries, he walked backward and forward daily to Towyn Academy and made as much progress in learn- ing as he had ever seen anyone make, and showed great promise. Owing to stress of circum- stances, however, he was obliged to leave school to make his way in America; but unfortunately his health failed and he died. But though the advantages were few and the encouragements were slight there were men at Aberdovey who exercised influence over young men ana to them he gladly acknowledged his obligation. (Cheers). The late Rector of Merthyr spent at Aberdovey his summer holidays and was un- faihug in his words of encouragement to every young fellow who showed any eagerness for reading and study. His constant encouragement was of the great- est value to him (the speaker). The late Dr Pughe, besides being accomplished in his profession, was an enthusiastic Welsh patriot; the translator of the relics of the ancient Welsh physicians of Myddfai, the friend of Eben Fardd and of many other prominent Welshmen. (Cheers). Dr Pughe's example helped to kindle in him (the speaker) an affection for his country for its language and traditions. In addition to his arduous professional wo k and his studies, Dr Pughe preached the gospel unostentatiously for more than thirty years in the Bath Gbapel, which was now the Literary Institute. (Hear, hear). Another inhabitant of the place who was always proud to help young people was the late Thomas Rees (Rhys Meiron)—(cheers)—a man without the advantages of school, but of much natural ability and force. He at one time held for the benefit of the children of Pen- helig small literary meetings or classes on Saturday evenings, and for those meetings children left their play in the streets. There they read or recited or competed for prizes of one penny or three halfpence in impromptu speaking and other exercises. (Laughter and cheers). There were also in connection with the various chapels of the 1 lace literary societies and bands of hope which proved of great help to the children of that time. (Hear). One of the main currents of opinion at the present time was in the direction of intensifying mutual self help in small communities like that of Aberdovey. There was scarcely a limit to what could be done in a place like Aberdovey if the inhabitants realized their duty of doing everything possible to stimulate and encourage the youth of the place. There should be in connection with Church and Chapels, week-night classes for young men and young women wherein they could meet together to read together some of the chiet books under the guidance of the most intelligent men and women in the place. Every advantage gained by the few in schools and colleges could thus be placed at the service of the many who could not read or understand what they read without the teacher to stimulate and inter- pret at the right moment. (Cheers). It would be a fitting mission for a leading member of each religious community at the present time to go on a pilgrimage throughout Wales to establish societies of that kind fnr young people, and to foster the establishment of libraries along with them in each case. (Hear, hear). The Jmany currents of thought and of life to-day made it dififcult tor a young man, without close and constant help, to know upon what principles to think or to act. Numbers of young Welshmen, for want of such guidance, went adrift in matters of thought or of conduct and a Welshman perhaps, more than a member of any other nationality on earth, required that the religious and moral bases of his life should be firmly laid, if he was to live and work to a purpose. Other people might fare better without those higher influences but the whole past of Welshmen—the very history of their progress; the source from which sprang the educational movement and everything, that was great in Welsh life-all those things pointed out that the Welshman, if he was to succeed in life must make his matter good with that which was spiritual I and permanent in life. They must be helped in order to see that and they must be helped in order to see how to act on Uie lines of the bess traditiQns of their past. (Applause). Mr WILLIAM JONES then moved a proposition con- gratulating Mr Ellis, the member for the county, on, his return in restored health. The proposition was, seconded by Mr EDWARD DAVIES and carried with acclamation. Mr THOMAS E. ELLIS who was received with cheers, acknowledging the \o:e, said—It is a special gratifica- tion to me to be amongst you to-night on this con- gratulating occasion. Since I last addressed you I have been taught to realise some of the circumstances of seafaring life. I have sailed over 18,000 miles of sea and lived three months on hoard ship. I have met many a Welsh sailor and have longed to secure for the young saiHotfS of Aberdovey and the coast towns of Wales opportunities to learn navigation so that they may fit themselves to be practical seaman, quarter- masters, mates and captains. (Cheers). The more we concern ourselves with national education, the more urgent is the necessity to provide not merely an educa- tion in writing, reading, and arithmetic, but in subjects such as drawing, manuel instruction, agri- culture, and navigation which more directly fit and adapt young men for the actual work of life. (Hear, hear). But I am not here to-night to make a speech on education. For eight hours last night I listened to speeches and made speeches on education, and I left [ the House of Commons at four o'clock this morning still discussing education. My purpose here is to unite with you in congratulating an old Aberdovey boy upon the high honour conferred upon him in being elected to the most distinguished and responsible educational position in Wales. He has made most interesting references to the societies and individuals in Aberdovey that influenced and moulded his early life, and laid great, but not a .vhit too great, stress on the beneficial influence of literary institutes and reading circles. I am forcibly reminded of the four happy years we spent together in Aberystwyth College and four years at Oxford. At Aberystwyth we never missed the Friday night Debating Society where we hotly discussed subjects relating to Wales and to social politics. Principal Roberts has lovingly referred to Thomas Rees's Academy in Penhelig which held its classes on Saturday night, and I am reminded of the Saturday night meetings of the Aberystwyth College Club held in the various Colleges in Oxford, at which our minds were awakentd to the facts of Welsh history and life and cur hearts were set aglow with bright hopes for the future of Wales. (Cheers). He will agree with me that the students' societies in Aber- ystwyth and Oxford were as important and lasting in their influence upon mind and character as any part of the organisation of lectures, classes, and examinations. I would therefore wish to imprees upon the young men and maidens of Aberdovey to appreciate and utihse the Literary Institute and to establish reading and debating circles. (Hear, hear). This celebration of the honour conferred upon an old Aberdovey boy is very fitting. Every child in Aberdovey to-day has planted within him a local pride and a sense of self- respect and hopefulness which will have far-reaching influence upon the life of your town and indeed of Wales. For the romantic story of the life, the struggle, the victory and the crown of Principal Roberts is being eagerly read aud pondered over on thousands of Welsh hearths and many a workman and peasant and villager's lad and lass will find in that story a new inspiration and a new spring of hope. (Cheers). Mr T. F. Roberts, in the principalship of the University College of Wales, is like a city set on a hill. He cannot be hid. He will be a light to Wales. But his, like a city's life, will be full of struggle, anxiety, and responsibility, and we are met to-night to bid him be of good cheer, to strengthen his hands, to encourage him to trust to the confidence and judg- ment of the masses of the people of Wales in his arduous work of clearing out abuses and obstacles, in launching new projects, and in governing and guiding a really national institution. (Cheers). The, best life a really national institution. (Cheers). The best life of a people is associated with and entwined round their national institutions. To-morrow and Sunday the whole Swiss people will celebrate at Schweitz, the crade of their liberties, the 600th anniversary of the foundation of the Swiss Confederation. Six hundred years ago the brave peasants of three mountain districts met and swore an oath to stand together in ridding themselves of the Austrian oppressors and in forming that pact which has developed into what is now the oldest and the most democratic free state in the world. There is no country in the world which has so many truly national institutions as Switzerland or where those national institutions are so prized and cherished. And none more so than their institutions of national education. They are the most complete and best equipped in the world. Rich and poor are on a level in tne schools. Not even the poorest peasant is unable to read and write. In no country docs education more thoroughly tit its youth for the work of life. In no country .s materitl prosperity so evenly and universally distributed. In no country does the land enable so many of the people to live on it. In no country is the volume of tiade per head of the population so considerable. In no country is public life so pure, so honourable, and s i efficieut. There are there no magnates and no very rich men. Nor is there in the world a country with fewer poor men or fewer loafers and spendthrifts. All this they owe to local freedom and to splendid education. Switzerland is physically like Wales, aud the Swiss like the Welsh. Shall we have national institutions like the Swiss ? Can we be a people breathing the same moral and national spirit as toe Swiss, possessing their fibre, and sharing their progress and the prosperity ? Yes, if we have courage, devotion, and siugleuess of aim. (Applause). Principal Roberts has been placed at the head of one of the national institutions which will make or mar the future of Wales. We are met here to-night to wish success to his work and effort, to pledge to him our help, and to express the hope that the prayer of Wales may be ardent and constant in his behalf. (Applause). On the proposition of Principal ROBERTS, seconded by Mr T. E. ELLIS a vote of thanks was accorded to the Chairman for presiding and the meeting separated.
