NEWS IN BRIEF. At Bucks Assizes, Aylesbury, oR Monday Baron Pollock sentenced Charles Abram, barber, of Woburn, to twelve months' imprisonment for cutting the throat of John Holdstock, a custo- mer, on April 27. The charge was reduced to one of felonious wounding. A Central News telegram from New York on Monday says:—Jacob's Theatre, in Third Avenue, has been destroyed by fire. The fire broke out shortly before midnight, and the building was speedily gritted. The damage is estimated to amount to a quarter of a million dollars. A few days previous to the Queensberry case Oscar Wilde completed a new comedy entitled I. Friends." The Italian actor, Signor Ermete Zaccone, has just purchased the right of repre- sentation of this comedy. and will introduce it before a Milan audience at the commencement of the autumn season. A well-known Italian dramatist has consented to undertake the transla- i on of the comedy. On Saturday afternoon the funeral took placc in the Croyden Cemetery of Dr. Perkins William Perkins-Case, son-in-law of Jabea Spencar Balfour. The deceased was a member of the Croydon County Council, having represented the West Ward sine? 1891. He was much respected, and his obsequies were attended by several of his late colleagues on the corporation. The Infanta Eulalie, of Spain, designs her own dresses, and has a special partiality for blouses, which she buys by the dozen, gene- rally in London, as she does also her boo-tf, and her tailor-made gowns. She is particu- larly fond of wandering about in the rain, bs-tless and umbrellaless, but wearing a mackin- tosh and hood. At the Baptist Association anniversary a.t Bristol on Monday the committee on civil and religious affairs expressed regret that the pre- sent Prime Minister was a prominent patron of the turf. They commended to Lord Rosebery the example of his illustrious predecessor in the Premiership, and would rejoice exceedingly, for the sake of the young ma.nhood of England, if he would withdraw from his association with the turf. Alfred Monson, whose name was associated with the Ardlamont caee, appeared to an adjourned summons at Bow-street on Friday charged with obtaining money by false pre- tences from Beresford Loftus Tottenham.— Counsel for the prosecution asked for another adjournment to produce Mr. Murray, a. Scotch witness, but the Magistrate decided that there was no case, and the summons was dismissed. Mrs. A. T. Hall, of 17, Lowndes-square, leaves personalty amounting to £ 105,213. She bequeaths £ 20,000 to St-. George's- Hospital in memory of her late husband, and £3,000 for the poor of Weston Colville, Cambridge- shire. and for the same purpose JB2,000 each to the parishes of Great Barford and Great Birbrigiht, Oxfordshire, and Leckhampstead, Buckis. The testatrix makes the Earl of Jersey her residuary legatee. At the Old Bailey on Monday Frank Tarbtaux,, who has been iden- tified with what is known as the cutlass affray, near Regent's Park, was indicted for unlawfully wounding Arthur Cock burn and Alfred Srrvil'e—The jury xound prisoner guilty, and the Recorder, in sentencing him to three years' penal servitude, said the case was one of the very worst that- had come under his notice. A fire broke out early on Sunday morning it the Rays Farm, Horlev, Surrey, occupied by Mr. J. W. Parsons. Owing to the failure of the water supply, the buildings were burnt to the gro-md, and eight horses, seventeen pigs, and two cows were also burnt. The fixe is supposed to Itave been caused by pome tramps sleep ng in the barn. One of them was so badly burnt a.s to necessitate his removal to the infirmary. A Dalziel's telegrnm from Paris says: — Seme indignation has been excited here by news from Martinique that Behanzin, the exiled King of Dahomey, is made to go through the most degrading dances, in which his three daughters also participate, whenever he desires any little favour .from the authorities. Some French non-commissioned officers stationed there are in the habit of making the old King and his family perform for their amusement, rewarding them with cigarettes and liquor. The attention of the Minister of the Colonies is to be called to the matter. Tlie Empire Theatre Palace, Edinburgh, m SaHrday aHernoon was the £ >conc of an incident which might have had a tragic sequel. During the performance Miss Loie Fuller, the Ameri- C:1r. serpentine danseuse, had administered to her in error by her mother a, dose of cocaine it stead of another drug. The niistruce was, however, almost, instantly discovered, and Miss Fuller was dri ven without delay to the Royal Infirmary, where a stomach-pump wan successfully applied. Miss Fuller as then taken to her hotel. No further bad effects are anticipated. The National British Women's Temperance Association began a convention, to be held during the week, with a devotional meeting in the City Temple on Sunday afternoon. The service was entirely conducted by women, Ladv Henry Somerset presiding. The building was crowded, delegates from all parts of the worl i being present. At the Presbyterian Chureh. Regent's-square, Mrs. Betham Edwards, in the course of an earnest temperance address, men- tioned that at 200 churches and mission-rooms in London temperance addresses were being that day given by women. At the London Bankruptcy-court on Monday Messrs. Lewis and Lewis filed, on behalf of Mr. William O'Brien, M.P., his statement of affairs, from which it appears the debts were re- turned at £ 8.075. and the assets at £ 70. At the end of the statement is the following note: —"The above are contingent liabilities, in- curred solely on behalf of the Irish National movement, in which ho was interested solely as an Irish member of Parliament. The public funds of the party are responsible for the pay- ment of those and similar claims, and an amount of £ 14-,000 of those funds has been specially allotted for their settlement." A manifesto, signed by the presidents of all the Methodist conferences, in support of the Local Option Bill, has been issued. It states that, in Sir William Harcourt's Bill a great- moral and religious issue, is brought before the nalflbn, and is, therefore, a measure which ought to lie lifted out of the arena of a mere party ,-tru^le. Accordingly, a-n appeal is made to the adherents of the various bodies of Metho- dists to exert themselves earnestly in support of the Bill. which is neither drastic nor extreme. The signatures attached are:—Walford ^reer^ Weslevan Methodist; W. Ba-rtram, Methodist New Connexion; John Wenn, Primitive Meaho- — Allen, Bible Christian; James Duck- wo-r'th, "United Methodist Free Church Brimelow, Ind £ K2 £ deufc Methodist; and Thos. Johnson, Wesleyan Reform Union. The Central News ravs :—A fatal accident ocirned on the range? of Lydd Camp on Mon- day evening.

r;, LOCAL AND DISTRICT. Canon Lewis, the vicar of St. David's, is at present in Switzerland, whither he has gone for the benefit of his health. The London Gazette of Friday states that the Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. Eugenio La Croix as Vice-Consul of Mexico at Cardiff. At a meeting of the Porth caw I Urban District Council permission was given the Severn Brigade to encamp on the Docks Common from the 20th of July over the 27th. The opening services of the new Welsh Baptist Ohapel at Lla-nbradach tcok place on Sunday and Monday. The building will accommodate 250 persons. The Bishop of St. David's, as visitor of the college, has appointed Sir John T. Dillwyn Llewelyn, Bart., to be a sub-visitor, in the place of the late Bishop of Winchester. Dr. Anderson, of Swansea, attributes the ill- ness of the family Hock, at Swansea, already chronicled by us, to the consumption cf certain veal. Members of the family are still ill, but are slowly recovering. It has been decided by the officers of the 3rd Glamorgan Rifle Volunteers (Swansea) that on the occasion of the march of the regiment in July they will officially receive them at Cwm- bwrla on their entrance to the town. A new Conservative club for the Port Tennant district of Swansea has just been opened at Cleveland House, Port Tennant, and will be called the Danygraig Constitutional Club. It was formally opened on Saturday evening. A Cons-reg-ational difficulty at Swansea has just been overcome by the Rev. Harrison Lochore, who retired from the pastorship of Countess of Huntingdon Chapel there, being welcomed to start a new cause at Fleet-street Schoolroom on Friday. The Rev. David Williams, curate of Holy Trinity, Swansea, has been appointed by the Crown to the living of St. John's, Clydach. Mr. Williams has laboured successfully as curate at Blaydon-on-Tyne and Swansea, and well deserves his promotion. On Friday an order was granted by the Swansea Bankruptcy Court for the release of Mr. MTnnes Jack, wine and spirit merchant, he having now complied with the order of the court with regard to filing information. Mr. Jack has been in custody for nearly three weeks. Mr. C. H. Priestley, waterworks enginesr, re- ported to the Cardiff Waterworks Committee, at their meeting on Friday morning, that a gentle- man living in Park-place, Cardiff, had been detected using a hose-pipe without, paying for it, in contravention of the bye-laws, and it was re- solved to take proceedings accordingly. At the weekly meeting of the Merthyr Board of Guardians on Saturday the finance committee recommended that a superannuation grant of £ 80 a year be given to Mr. W. David, relieving officer for the Aberdare District, whc was about to retire after 47 years' service. The report of the Swansea Committee on electric lighting is nearly ready. The committee adhere to the scheme, and propose to borrow £ 50,000 for the purpose of carrying cut the lighting- of the central part of the town and re-erection of dust destructors as motors. On Monday night a fire broke out in a, back bedroom at 45, Gou-gh-street, Cardiff, a dwell- ing-licuse occupied by John Mackie. It appears that a lighted paraffin lamp, fell on to a dressing-table and set fire to some clothing, the window blind, and other articles in the room. The fire was soon extinguished. On Monday evening an examination in con r.ectior with the local branch of the St. John Ambulance Gorpsi took place at the Town- it,d), Cardiff. The examiner was Dr. Thomas, of Penybont. Twenty-eight members of the Cardiff borough police foroe presented them- selves for examination, all of whom passed successfully. The monthly meeting of the R:n¡on Ferry Uiban District Council was held "n Thursday evening. Mr. L. Jenkins presiding. The medi- cal officer's report showed that there had been registered in the district ten births and eight deaths, giving a birth-rate of twenty and a death-rate of sixtean per 1,000 of the inhabi- tants. The quarterly meeting of the Pembrokeshire Farmers' Club was held at the Swan Hotel. Haverfordwest, on Saturday. The subject announced for discussion was" Suggested Remedies for Agricultural Depression," upon which Mr Robert Ward read an excellent paper, in the course of which he spoke with approba- tion of Loid Winchilsea's Union. The many friends of Mr. William Merchant, J.P., the mana,ger of the Metropolitan Bank, will be gratified to learn that the complete rest and abstention from business enjoined by his medical adviser is having the desired effect, and that his return to convalescence is now assured, though it must take some time and necessitate a thorough change of air before complete recovery can be looked for. On Saturday a special court was held at Caer- philly for the purpose of hearing a charge against Edward Jones, of Bedwas, for having on Thursday evening last assaulted William Jones, of the Fisherman's Rest Inn, Bedwas, by striking him on the head with the irons used in his calling. The alleged assault was the resnlt of a dispute in game known as tip it." Prisoner was committed to the Glamorganshire Quarter Sessions. Mrs. Thomas Jones, the late matron of the Normal Coltege, Bangor, was on Friday pre- sented by the tutors and students with a silver tray and tea urn on the occasion of her marriage. Mr. Joihn Price, principal of the college, pre- sented the tray on behalf of the staff, and Mr. Isherwood, the senior student, presented the urn. Mr. Thomas Jones, Five Elms, Ganston, returned thanks on behalf of his wife, and read three stanzas composed by her in recognition of the gifts, which were favourably received. The "Athenseum for this week says:- It is satisfactory to be able to state that we were to some extent mistaken in what we said a fortnight ago about the intentions of the Government with gard to the continua- tron of the work of calendaring the Welsh manuscripts. In the estimates for the cur- rent financial year the Treasury has inserted the sum of JB450 for the remuneration of the inspectors employed from time to time on this work wnder the direction of the Histo- rical Manuscripts Commission. At Merthyr County-court on Thursday (before his Honour Judge Gwilym Williams) a case was set down for hearing in which the Rev. Daniel Lewis, rector of Merthyr, was sred by Mr. B. R. S. Frost, printer and stationer, of Merthyr, for £ 37 13s. 5d., for wc-rk done and goods supplied, &c.—When the ease was called 0 on Mr. Simons explained to his honour that it had been agreed between the advocate on the other side and himself that an adjournment should be taken for a month, and that meanwhile the matter should be refert-pd to Mr. North, the stipendiary laa-gis- tiate, for arbitration. At the monthly meeting of the Brecon Town Council on Friday a letter was read from Lord Tredegar's agent, Mr. H. Edgar Thomas, con- senting to lease to the council the two fields by Newtown Pool for a term of 99 years at an annual rental of £20, from the 25th of March last. On the motion of the Mayor (Mr. J. A. Jebb), seconded by Dr. Williams, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Lord Trede- gar for his kindness in leasing the ground to the corporation for so long a term aud at so mode- rate a rental. A resolution was also passed thanking Mr. John Evans, the tenant, forgiving up possession of the two fields in question with- out notice.

I THE WELSH PRESS. [BY GWYLIEDYDD."3 The New Cymru Fydd Scheme. The first meeting of the Cymru Fvdd Federation, formulated at Aberystwith a short time ago, is the subject of discussion! in several of the vernacular papers. It is a remarkable phenomenon thfrt, whilst the! "Baner" and other non-sectarian papers are enthi'.siastic about the new scheme, the organs of the different denominations ignore 1:1 1:1 the -v,-Ilcle thing. The Nonconformists are warm supporters of Disestablishment and ciisendowment, but are not enamoured with Welsh Home Rule. The complexion of the Llandrindod meeting bears out the theory. There were many Nonconformist ministers present, but they are better known as political Dissenters than ministers of the Gospel. The religious leaders of the sects were conspicuous by their absence. The theory is further sup- ported by the fact that, out of a total of 31 Radical Welsh members, only three attended the Llandrindod meeting! It was held in Whitsun week, when Parliament was not sitting, and no excuse could be alleged for non-attendance. And yet the "Baner" and the Carnarvon papers are jubilant over what they describe as the "complete success"' of the movement. The "Baner" says: -"The meeting wa.s not only a successful one, but an important incident in the development of Welsh nationalism. We greatly rejoice in the successful establishment of the National Federation, and in doing so 'we believe that we echo the feelings of every patriotic Welsh- man." The "Herald" says :—"We are pleased to announce that the movement to unite all the nationalistic forces in Wales is progressing gloriously. Only one Welsh newspaper lias disgraced itself by opposing it. It is alleged that the editor of 'Cymro' had no right to be present at the Chester meeting, for Mr. Isaac Ffoulkes is not a member. He has. proved himself to be an accuser of the brethren, and given a false report of the proceedings." The "Cymro" replies to the "Herald" as follows:-—"We have brought our old sluggish friend the 'Herald' about niv head. He does not appear to understand much English, for the English version of the pioceedings has chafed him dreadfully. We know more of the Chester meeting than he, poor fellow." It then enumerates a num- bei of facts showing that the meeting was anything but unanimous, or even peaceful. "Fortunately," it says, "such irregular meet" ings are not often held. The chairman and secretary, like parson and clerk, monopolised all the talking. Four times did a gentleman attempt to move a resolution, but the chair- man talked him down each time." Of the Llandrindod meeting the "Cymro" writes: — "The political heresy that has fallen like a blast upon the Liberalism of Wales has taken another erroneous step. Some quarter of a hundred were present, including three mem- bers of Parliament, and most of the others were persons of whom we have never heard before. Is it likely that the Liberals of \Vales will consent to be governed by Mr. Thomas Gee and Mr. Lloyd-George ? We hope better things." The "Tarian" uses strong language. Thus —"Notwithstanding the temptation to visit Llandrindod, the attendance at the Cymru Fydd meeting was not large. Very few, comparatively speak- ing, were from the South. It is time that this childish quarrel should cease. The people, fortunately, take no interest in it. We are far from approving of Mr. Lloyd- George going about the country making attacks upon the Government, and saying nasty things about Mr. Asquith, as he did at Blaenycwm the othe-r night. If he could, v.ith the assistance of the Tories, place the Government in a minority by pressing his amendments. he would do more harm to his party than all the good he has done since he has been in the House. He must have known that his reasoning in the Rhondda. Valley was false. We have much respect for the member for Carnarvon, but he often allows his feelings to carry him away, and judgment does not always hold the reins." Jlr. T. E. Ellis on the Welsh People. Mr. T. E. Ellis has been speaking at an eisteddfod at LlanuwehllynNund showing his Celtic dislike of England. He spoke of the Rev. Michael D. Jones as a model Welsh- man. who did all he could to "sten^the English torrent that is flowing into Wales." He does not appear to be well posted in the history of his country, for he said that Welshmen were once noted for their skill in architecture. It is true that the Romans once taught them the art, but they reverted to their native mud and willow cabins as soon as their visitors left the island. He also expressed regret that Welsh parents give English names to their children. If he took the trouble to inquire, he would find in Wales nine Hebrew names for every one who bears an English one. The Political Outlook. Most of the papers are sanguine with -re- gard to the success of the Government and the future of the Radical party. The "Baner" "hopes that Sir William Harcourt will put a stop to the obstruction of the Tories, and get the Government measures passed as soon as possible." It also urges the Welsh members to attend the House regularly until the end of July. The "Genedl" is of opinion that "the business of the session is progressing "as satis- factorily as can be wished," and that "YVaiet has nothing to complain of with regard to Dis- establishment. The Irish members have acted honourably, and we hope that Mr. Asquith will accept the amendment of Mr. Lloyd- George. There are two things which causa anxiety, namely, the restlessness of the Lon- don Radicals and the misunderstanding among the Welsh members." The London corespon- dent of the "Celt" takes a gloomy view of the situation, and writes thus:—"Lord Rosebery speaks hopefully, but that is not the feeling of his followers. Doubt, fear, and suspicion characterise the party. Why ? One thing because of the misunderstandings aniongj the leaders. Masters are not sweet between Rose- bery and Harcourt-. The sympathy of the party is with Harcourt. The opinion is that Rosebery is not sound upon Home Rule. The attacks upon the House of Lords- has been a failure, so far. Besides, the Government does not show courage. The compromises and conferences between Harcourt and Balfour are thorns in the feet of the Radicals, and have a bad influence on the party. Another reason is the fact that the Tories are likely to win another general election. We are certain to have a dissolution in July or January, and the Tories are certain to win. It is probable that matters will remain as they are in Scot- land and Wales, but the change will be in London and England generally. The attitude of the worJvinc classes is also suspicious." The 'Tarian" says that "the Unionists believe that a genc-ral election is at the door. And we think so too. We fear that we slitll los.e. many LiberaJ votes; but, with the exception of one or two constituencies, we shall hold our own. Some think that the Government will be beaten on the second reading of the Local Option Bill." Mariolatry at the Anglican Church in Cardiff. The "Carnarvon Herald" has the following —"The Protestantism of Wales is on its trial. It is contended that the Church of England is the bulwark of Protestantism in this country out wlia-t is to be said of what took place lately in a Church at Cardiff ? It isf re- corded, with gratitication, in 'St. Peter's Chair.' a Papist monthly, that an image of the Virgin Mary had been 'blessed' in one of the 'Protestant Churches' of Cardiff, at- tended with great ceremonial pomp. Hymns were sung to St. Joseph, and it was taught in the sermon that Mary, 'the mother of God' was interceding with her son for sinners. That is enough, we think, to show the folly of keeping the Church from being disestablished^ for it is not a strong bulwark against Popery." The "Western Mail" drew attention to the matter a few days ago, and offered space in its columns to the Rev. T. C. Wool com be, the curate of St. Agnes, to contradict the state- ment, if untrue, but he has not availed himself of the offer. The Welsh Methodist Cymanfa in London. Last week was a girand field day in London with the Welsh Methodists, and our friends boast loudly over it. Our good friend "Itlriswyn is boiling over with delight in consequence of the demonstration—"another proof," he says, "of the life of the old nation. It is doubtful to me if any other nation in the world could make a stronger one. It 38 no small matter, be it remembered to hold A eassiwn in London, when there are scores Gi representatives to be entertained for nearly a week. It is a complete answer to those who ignore the Welsh language and prophesy that its death is near at hand." The "Goleu.d" pri'Hs the address of the moder itor at length, whi-:?i is a. vioreiit attack upon the Church cf England. The statements made by him a.re reckless and unfounded. "For 200 years," he says, "we, as a nation, have been yearning for Disestablishment!" It hast been the practice of the Methodist community to state that Wales was in a state of heathenism anc immorality before the advent of Methodism. It is only 150 years since Howell Harris began to preach, and he never uttered a word of reproach against the Church, and never left her communion. Disestablishment was never suggested before the days of Edward Miall, about 50 years ago. "The connection of the Church with the State," lie continues, "it unscriptural, unjust, injurious to religion, morality, and is hostile to progress of every kind. It nourishes injustice, perversion, and tyranny. It stimulates lying, immorality, and idleness, and generates a spirit of slavery and other kindred evils Referring to educa- tion, he says:—"We must raise the standard of religious education. We must have it in the three grades—the elementary, inter- mediate, and higher—and a perfect system of religious literature." This gentleman, who- ever he may be, is trifling with facts, and talking absolute rubbish. Has not religion been eliminated from all the schools, and hava not the Welsh Methodists, been foremost in the work? They have even excluded tha Bible from the elementary schools, and for- bad any religious teaching in the inter- mediate school It is time, in the face of such an exhibition of inconsistency, to call things by their proper names. What a. change 60 years has. made in the denomination which had among its ministers such men rg John Elias, Henry Rees, and others of t&gl same character! r-riifTryecMwj'g^gasaagtagJiiiii'trainaETggTiiMJi'.inrf'iw^gA^giLiBLgsBJM—
