Webb, coidd_ be ^lent died as the Queen's Prizeman of 1833. The Irish twenty is a variable factor and may be said to defy comment. The light was cool, and the little wind there was came almost directly from the butts at the commencement of the fust range. At its close Wales, to the astonishment of all. led with 58Y points. Scotland having 586. Iraia-d 577, and England, one of whose representatives with his last shot put a ball lilt the wrong target, 573. At the second tano-e the light was cool and the wind light but°tricky, tishtailing to the right, front and sometimes almost directly across the range. Nevertheless, Private W. G. Haw, 4th V.B. LiverpooL managed to put ou 54 for Scot. taad/as did Sergeant Davies for Wales, and. there were several scores of 33. Eugla nd made the best range shoot, 564, but only worked into third place with a total of 1,137. Wales still led. her range total being 555, with a scoring-board disfigured by a couple of misses and a ricochet. Scotland fell back to fourth piaee with 1,131, but it was still anyone's battle when firing began at óÙO yards, with the wind a little iresher and more across the range, and the light slightly brighter at times. The Scots did best, and their 527 made them winners with an aggre- gate of 1.653. Wales, with three misses, added 503, and linisiied with 11 points less Tiie English missed once, scoring 5U5. which left them live points below Wales, whilst several of the Irish team broke duw: uterly, and they liuished with a total of 1,611.

RHODESIAN WAR. -+- THE HlLIEF OF ABERCORN. A PER;LOUS VENTURE. BESIEGED FOR 22 DAYS. The patrol which, under the command of Captain Taylor, started a week ago w the relief of Abercom Store, returned to Fort Salisbury on Friday, all well. Some anciety had heen felt on their behalf, and their return Mi as made the occasion for a joyous c-emoustca- tion unparalleled m the histoiy of Fort i"alis- burv. The patrol brought back most interest- ing news. Leaving here on Saturday night last, tLev proceeded by the mam road thioiigh the hills. On Sunday morning the rebels opened a heavy nre. but it was badly directed and the patrol sustained no casualty. Captain Taylor a marvellous escape from death. A rebel suddenly sprang from behind a bush only four yards away. He levelled his gun and was about to fire point-blank, when a trooper, seeing the Captain's peril. fired and shot thf Kailir dead. The patrol reached the beleagured store on Monday afternoon. They found there Messrs. Broadbent, Bean, Ragusson (?), Pickering. Hoi man, Stroyan, and Rowland. These men were in strong laager, and had been so for twenty-two days, during the whole of which period thev wei e besieged by the rebels. For one week of the time the little party of white men were fighting continuously, the enemy harassing them day and night. Broadbent o and Struyan were each wounded, but not I seriously. They had plenty of provisions at the store, but 110 water was obtainable within the laager, but 110 water was obtainable within the laager, and upon two occasions only during the twenty-two days' siege were they aole to get any. They quenched their thirst as best they could by drinking lime-juice and gin. They believe that all the other whites in the Aber- com district have been killed by the rebels. We learn that the whites entrenched at Mount Hampden, twelve miles from here, were at- tacked to-day. The attack was repulsed, and many of the rebels were killed. The whites sustained no loss and are considered in a safe position. Mr. Rowland, a member of the Pioneer Corps, has died on the road of ex- haustion. I

CHILI AND ARGENTINA. QUEEN VICTORIA AS UMPIRE. It is authoritatively announced that Queen Victoria has consented to act as umpire in the arbitration proceedings in connection with the frontier dispute between Chili and Argentina. Should the Court of Arbitration fail to come to a decision the points at issue will be re- ferred for final settlement to the royal umpire.

THE ST. FAGANS TRAGEDY. MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED. ANOTHER ARREST. The mystery enshrouding the Fairwater tragedy still remains unsolved, and even the local police are beginning to despair of I getting to the bottom of it. On every hand one hears the exclamation, Why not engage Scotland Yard detectives ?" But the people who ask these questions should be certain before they make this suggestion that Scot- land Yard detectives are not at present at work. One thing is certain, and it is this, that when Scotland Yard detectives do start operations the local police may bo trusted to do their utmost to keep the fact dark. for reason that publicity might do much to frustrate their efforts. About noon on Saturday a sailor answering I to one of the many descriptions, was seen walking towards town from LiandaiT. A t-Oiitleman from the neighbourhood, having his suspicions aroused, communicated with the county police at Canton. Sergeant Stan- field followed the man and took him to the station, where he was able to give an ap- purently satisfactory account of himself. He will be detained pending inquiries as to the truth of his statement, but it is expected lie will soon be at liberty. THE LUNATIC FOUND. The escaped Bridgend lunatic. Lynch, was found at Neath, and has been returned to the asylum.

WORK AND WAGES. THE MINING DISPUTE. Most of the men employed in the Leeds brass trade struck work to-day for an td- vance of two shillings per week. The strike in the building trade continues. A Chester- field correspondent to-day (Monday) had an interview with Mr. James Hasiam. J.P.. member of the Conciliation Board and secre- tary of the Derbyshire Miners' Union. He states that the present position of owners and men was both difficult and delicate, but the men's leaders generally believe that there will not be a repetition of the strike cf aG'Jo, owing to lack of cohesion among the owners, j

HOW THE PUBLICAN IS CAUGHT. A few weeks ago, by direction of the Chief- constable of Staffordshire, a. Sedgley police- man dressed as a. miner visited several I public-houses in Weduesbury and dis- trict, and at senac lound many persons 1 engaged m betting, whilst at others gaming i was boing resorted to for beer and other iiquids. Those -who permit,tea irregularities were on Saturday called upon to pay fines ranging from £5 to £13, Defendants, I through their advocate* protested agains t the mode adopted lor detection. t>

J- Coventry was opened at tbe Royal Courts o: Coventry was opened at tbe Royal Courts o: Justice, (o-ciay (Mofday), J before the Lord Chief Justice, Pollock, and ¡ ilr Justice Hawkins Tho defendants are indicted under the Foreign Enlistment Aci, I, with having, wilhiu her Aiajesty's domin;oi)s and without her jieencf, prepared and fitted out a military exreditioa to proceed to a friendly Swale-—to wit, the South African 1 Republic. Great public interest was taken in the pro- ceedings, and tho court was thronged witti ladies and genlieaien who had obtained admission by ticket. Dr. Jameson and his comrades were accomodated with seats at the sol.citors' table and appeared to be in excel- lent health. Before the jury wore sworn, Sir Edward Clarke, for tiie defence, Mioved to quash the indictment. He then proceeded to state what tho indictment was. He said tDat the indictment was indelinite and ambiguous, and before ploading an accused person was entitled to have the charge against him stated definitely. He also contended that it was necessary for the Crown to prove that the Foreign Enlistment Act had been proclaimed by tiio Government of tiie part of her MfjetLy i. I dominions in which the offence way alleged to have taken piaee. This had net been done. Ko submitted that tho Act could not come into force in any British possession outside the Uuitcd Kingdom except as the result and eon»-equenee of a proclamation. The indict- ment which did not allego the fact of such proclamation having been made was a bad indictment and ought not to bo submitted to the jury. The importation of this ambiguity into tho indictment was an ondeavour to turn mto a question of law that which he was entitled to have tried as an issue of fact. Counsel took objection to other counts, and moved that the indictment be quashed. Sir F. Lockwood said ho endorsed his learned friend's arirutaents with regard to the indiatment. The Attorney-General submitted that the arguments of counsel for the defence were ill-founded. The indictment had been drawn I up in accordance with well-known prsncip'es of law. All material facts had been stated, and general allegations of Jaw and fact had keen stated in genera! terms. The Solicitor-General also addressed the court in support of the indictment, aud bir Edward Clarke having brieilv replied. The Lord Chief Justice intimated that the ceuro would take limo to consider Sir Edward Clarke's objections, and, therefore, the further bearing of the ease would be adjourned till lo-aaorrow morning. Their lerdships then rose for the day at ten miuutes P&i1 two o'clock.

At Swansea Police-court, to-day (Monday) I Willi am John Pavies, a small boy living at 23, Grumlin-street. w;is charged with unlaw- fully removing a signal on the Great Western Railway, on June 19. Mr. W. Robinson Smith prosecuted, and said ID it was a very serious oifence. though it was to be hoped that the defendant was not aware how really serious it was. The law covered such acts done by boys either in play or for mischief. He was afiaid that in this case it was wilful. The defendant was with two smaller boys who were not summoned. The alleged offence took place at the East Dock, and the boys, seizing the wires, pulled the signal from "danger to "line clea, Th-. were seen by the signalman, who observed me movement of the wires, and one (the defen- dant) was caught. Fortunately, though the case was a felony, it came under die summary jurisdiction act, and the Bench could deal with it there. Edward James Chamberlain, signalman. gave evidence in support. He slated that the signal, when released, would move back to its normal position, at danger. Defendant was ordered to receive six strokes I with the, birch. Joshua, Davies. father of the last defendant, pleaded guilty to obstructing the signalman, and to trespassing on the line on the same I date. The evidence showed that defendant I came up the line to the signal box and used threatening language. For the obstruction he was fined Is., and 8s. 6d. costs.
