HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. On the motion to go into Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates, Mr. Hal- dane laid before the House the proposals of the Government in regard to the army. He and his advisers, he said. had entered into a covenant with the soldiers. they ao-reed to do their best to get the soldiers wha, they wanted tor military efficiency and for preparation for war, and the sold- iers, on their part, omdertook to take the estimates in hand and dea. wnh them upon the footing of cutting down ail things that were merely for show and were no useful and of securing that the nation should get as far as possible value iorits money. The economies effected in this way had not detracted in the slightest degree from the fighting efficiency of the army or its preparation for war. Mr. Hal-dane went on to describe the new or- ganisation of the Militia, the Yeomanry, and the Volluiuefers, and said they would constitute the home or territorial army, and would form the second line of de- tence. The first line would consist of a professional army, which might be eom- 1 parativeiy small in quantity because it had to operate in the main across the seas but which for that reason must be high in qjuality. After speeches by Mr. Arnold j?'orster, Sir C. Diike, Mr. Wyndham, and others, Mr. A. Henderson moved an amendment calling for the appointment of a committee to consider how far the work of arsenals and other eimilar Government establishments could be kept more regu- lar, so as to keep the machinery more fuiliy employed and prevent frequent discharges of men. Mr Crooks seconded the motion, but after Mr Haklane had suggested that if the Labour members would appoint three experts he would propose another three, who together would examine the question, the amendment was withdrawn. The House rose at mid-night. STAFF FOR NEW DEPART- MENT. In the House of Commons on Monday, Lord Robert Cecil (U., Marylebone), asked the President •r.f the Board of Edu- cation whether it was proposed to com- plete the staff of the ne,dy-formed Welsh Department by transfers from the Board of Education, or whether theapp,ointment of any other persons not at present in the Civil Service was contemplated; and,, if so, for what reason a different course was to be pursiued from that which was fol- lowed upon the formation of the Scottish Education Department. Mr. M'Kenna said the newly-formed Wdlsh Department would be completed by transfers from the Board of Education and partly by the appointment of other persons not at present in the Cidl Ser- vice. The Scottish Education Depart- ment offered no analogy to the depart- ment now under consideration since the former was removed by statute and placed under other political heads other than those presiding over the department from which it was detached. Mr. Walrond asked the President of the Board of Education what salaries would be plaid to the Secretary and Ohief In- spector of Welsh Education, if they were pensionable, and if they were required to devote their whole time to the pubSic ser. vice. Mr MeKenna—The answer to the first paragraph is £1.200 to each. The answer to the second and third paragraphs is in the affirmative. HOUSE OF COMMONS (Tuesday). Mr McKenna introduced the Govern- ment's new Education Bill, of one clause, designed to abolish the cause of grievance to Passive Resistors. The Bill, which was read a first time in face of Nationalist and Tory opposition, confirms the Appeal Court's decision in the West Riding case (afterwards re- versed by the Lords) by transferring the cost of denominational education in non- provided schools from the local authority to the school managers, who will be caHed upon to pay one-fifteenth of the salary of teachers giving denominational in- struction. The President of the Board of Educa- tion was careful to explain that the mea- sure was not intended as a complete settle.. ment of the education question, and that in proposing to remedy one grievance the Government did not ignore its obligations to remove other evils which Mr Birrell's Bill last yiear aimed at removing, and to set up ful'l popular control and abolish religious tests.

A meeting in support of the candida- ture of Mr J Jones Morris at the Town Hall on Tuesday night drew a large and representative gathering; of Liberals. Mr Richard Davies, who has been re- turned unopposed, presided. He dealt in detail with the points of the address of Mr R. J. Purnell, the Conservative can- didate, remarking that the addresses of the Conservative candidates throughout the county was to the same effect. Mr Purnell urged that County Council elec- tions should not be fought on political lines, but he (Mr Davies) submitted, hav- ing regard to -the education question. that they had no alternative but to fight this election on political lines and there was no doubt if the Conservatives were successful at the polls in the County Coun- cil elections, they would say that this suc- cess was an endorsement of the wrecking of the Education iBill by the House of Lords. Mr Purnell said the county rate was £ 5,355 in 1891 and Cll,192 in 1906. Had he taken the rate of 1890, however, he would find the rate exactly what it was to-day viz., 4d in the pound, but he chose to take the year when it was ex- tremely low. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Dealing with the statement that the cost, of elementary education had risen from £ 15,153 in 1902 to £ 31,435, Mr Davies said this was due to a ^variety of courses. For one thing, the old school boards, knowing that there was to be a change in the education system, had for a long time ceased carrying out building improve-1 meats. When the County Education Authority came to existence they were forced by the Board of Education to spend on such improvements at the rate of £4,000 a year They hoped to be able to complete these abnormal improvements by 1908..Again the Counts, had to borrow £ 15,000 repayable in five years for pur- poses- of capital expenditure. When they came to existence they had no money to pay teachers' salaries which represented about £4,500 a. month. Mr Davies con- demned in strong terms the suggestion in the address that the Liberal majority in the County Council were for shutting out the Bible from the schools. As a fact, Carnarvonshire had adopted a syllabus of religious instruction equal to that of any county in the country. Lessons from the Bible were taught in .aU classes. (Ap- plause.) Having intimated that he was 110 secularist, he closed, with a warm tribute to the services of Mr Jones Mor- ris on the County Council and of the in- fluence which he wielded. (Applause.) Mr J. Jones Morris, who was given a hearty reception, stated that he intended entering into the finances of the county at a meeting to be held on the eve of the poll when he hoped to prove that there was a great deal of difference between heavy expenditure and extravagance. (Ap- plause.) He agreed that County Coun- cil elections could only be fought on poli- tical lines. It was necessary in his opinion as a Liberal to administer in a Liberal spirit measures passed by a Liberal- Government, and it was most necessary to administer in a Liberal spirit measures passed by a Conservative Government of the nature of the Edu- cation Act of 1902. (Applause.) Hav- ing pressed this point still further home, he appealed to Liberal electors not to be dominated by the feeling, "Oh, Jones Morris will be alright. We need not worry. This was an important contest and it behoved Liberals to exert all their strength. He hoped that they would sup- port him at the polls not because he was John Jones IIorris. or that he attended such and such a. chapel, but because he was the chosen representative of the Lib- eral party. (Cheers.) Mr Morirs twitted the Conservatives on tne fact that they had allowed MrDavies Who was chair- man of 'tne County Education Finance Committee to be returned unopposed, whilst they1 opposed one who had no- thing directly to do with the education side of the county work. If it was edu- cation expenditure they were opposed to why allow Mr Davies to be returned with- out a, contest ? (Applause). The fact was they would not get a grant from Conservative headquarters towards their Club which was in need of financial help unless they did fight. In short, he bad to fight because the Conservative Oub j was in need of money. (Laughter and applause.) The Rev J J Roberts (lolo Caernarvon) in a stirring speech moved a, resolution of confidence in Mr. Jones Morris. Up to this election he did not know that Mr Purnell, for whom he had every respect, was a Tory, and he was sorry to learn that ho was. He noted that Mr PurneII claimed that he came out in the interests of the community at large and not for personal advantage* Now claims were really Liberal claims, for the Lib- erals did not believe in serving a class-- the Anglican Church to-day, the brewers to-morrow—they believed in serving man- kind! (Ajppiause.) itig ii-iali- to elevate man. (Applause.) Mr Purnell said the County Council had need to economise. He (Mr Roberts said the need was to see that the money they had was used properly. (Hear, hear.) He must say that he was afraid of Portmadoc on this point. The cry of down with the rates had played a prominent part in its public life in the past. It had been so prominent that as a town they had gone almost to the door cf tiM work- house. Now would the town suffer if the rates were raised to carry out great and beneficial improvements. He was told that the inhabitants of neighbouring towns, despite high rates, were able ou live like princes. (Hear, bear.) He would like to see more activity in the life and business of the town. The Creator had made Portmadoc one of the most beautiful places in the British Isles and he considered^it be one of the duties of the inhabitants to do -all that lay in their power to bring peopde there to see its beauty. (Applause.) Mr J Lloyd Humphreys afterward ren- dered most effectively a topical song, the audience joining heartily in the chorus. Mr Charles E Breese, seconding the vote of confidence, gave an interesting re- view of the advance of democracy during the past thirty years and said there I never was greater need than now for unity in the interests of progress. He dis- counted the suggestion that the County Education Authority had been extrava- gant and in support of his contention drew upon his experience as a member of the School Board for 10 years. Although personally a secularist, he could only say that the statements made that it was the desire of the Nonconformists to banish I the Bible from the schools was a detest- able falsehood. (Hear, hear.) Touch- ing on the charge of extravagance against the County Council, which he repudiated, he remarked that economy without effi- ciency was not worth a twopenny bit. (Laughter and applause,) Mr J R Owen, Aelygarth, supporting dwelt on the faithfulness of Mr Jones Morris in the past and hoped that the Nonconformists of Portmadoc would be I loyal to their principles. (Applause.) A racy speech by the Rel W J Nichol- f son followed. He remark-ed that lolo Carnarvon urged the need for bring Port- madoc more to the front. Well, nobody Icould say that Mr Jones Morris took a back seat in public life. (Laughter and hear, hear)—and bv keeping himself in front he helped to keep Portmadoo in front. (Applause ) The resolution of confidence was car- ried unanimously and amid cheers. At Morfa Bychan on Monday night, Mr Jones Morris was supported by the following as speakers:—The Rev G Parry (chairman): Messrs J R Owen, W Morris Jones, John Jones Conglyffridd; and Hugh Hughes, Garegwen. At Borthygest on "Wednesday night, the speakers with Mr Morris were Messrs J Lloyd Humphreys, Thomas Prichard, G E Edwards, and Captain Owen Jones, Fleetwing.

Dr Jones is reported to have asserted that fibroict phthisis was a disease to which q'jairymen were pecu- liarly liable, and that it was directly attribu- table to elate dust particularly that in the sawing mills. This theory was advanced some twelve years ago by Dr Roberts (IsaUt) at the Quarries Committee appointed at that time at the instance of the late Mr Thomas Ellis. Absence of post-mortem examinations is said to make it difficult to prove the direct proposition. The Approaching Elections.—It seems clear that there will be contests in several wards for seatB ou the Uibati District Couccil. A vestry is to be held on Saturday to discuss the repre. sen ation on the Board of Guardians. Present indications point to a contest here as well.

In the course of the drive. Miss Griffith left the carriage and walked along the bank of thr- Estuary which at the spot is some height abov- the river. The Rev J C Jones, Congregational minister at Borth, however, states that he wa > sitting in his house about one o'clock in the afternoon when he heard a noise as if someone was beating one of the windows with a whip. He went outside and there found Mrs Casson in a carriage. She shouted to hiin, Run, run," pointing in the direction of the river. Mr Jones, who cn!y had his slippers on, at once ran down the sloping ground and over som ■ rocks in the direction to which Mrs Casson was pointing. After going some distance, he saw a lady in the middle of the channel, whom he recognised as Miss Griffith. He shouted to her, 44 Cheer up, Mits Griffith, help is coming." Being unable to swim, he looked about for something to throw to the unfertunate lady, who was being kept floating by a sealskin which she was wearing. At this moment Mrs Casson came on the scene, and, finding Mr Jones could not swim, quickly divested herself of her jacket and pluckily swam out to the drowning lady. She got hold of her, anJ held her up with one hand, trying to swim to land with the other. Seeing that both were in great danger, Mr Jones went into the water, and, getting within reach of Mrs Casson's outstretched hand, he seized it. In doing so he was pulled out of bis depth, but without relaxing bis hold of Mrs Casson's hand he managed to regain his footing, and pulled both ladies, who were very exhausted, to land. County Council,—No County Council election will be held within the uiban district of Bar- mouth, Councillor T Martin Williams, Bod Idris. having been returned nnopposed for the south ward, and Mr John Morgan, Bally- macora, will succeed Councillor 0 W Mcrria to f represent the northern electoral division, as the latter has, owjng to pressure of business, de- cided to retire. Advertizing. — A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Barmouth and District Im. provement Association was held on Wednesday evening at the Council Office. Mr H Wynne Williams presided and other members present were Messrs 0 W Morris, Morgan Richards, John Jones, Rhys Jones, David E James, E D Jones, M.A., William Owen, Humphrey Jones, treasurer and R Llewelyn Owen, secretary. The Guide Book and Press Coirmittee reported that a letter had been received from the Secretary of the Health Resorts Association stating that he had been able to arrange for editorial paragraphs and line advertisements I similar to the silver sea column in the Daily Telegraph," to appear in several London papers during the ensuing months. By taking a line line i dvertisement in either the" Daily Tele. graph," 44 Daily News," ".Standard," 44 Tri- bune," or Daily Chronicle" for not less than thirteen insertions the Association would in return have the advantage of having a para- graph with local news inserted free of charge in the editorial columns of those papers once a week. The total cost covering a line advertise- ment thirteen times in each of the papers men- tioned the Committee recommended the Executive Committee to fpend that sum. The Secretary was directed to write the Photo- crome Photo Company to ask for their permis- sion to lend the blocks which they had supplied the Association with last year with views of Barmouth and district thereon to the several magazines, periodicals, etc., applying for the loan of tame from time to time for reproduction. —The tender of a Leicester firm to supply 6,000 copies of a revised guide book for f36 wes accepted, and the sum of B40 was allocated to the Guide and Press Committee to defray the cost of producing the same and procuring any additional blocks which might be required. It was resolved that only members of the Associa- tion should have the privilege of inserting any advertisement in the new guide book The Treasurer reported a balance in favour of the I Association at the bank of jS79 18s. Sanction, however, had been granted the Guide Book and Press Committee to spend f33 on press adver- tising and £40 on a new guide book which amounts would have to be deducted from the balance now remaining at the bank. The Finance Committee in their report thought it was premature to Lake any steps at present t., collect the promises made in aid of the funds of the Association for the ensuing year and no instructions were consequently given in the matter.-—On the motion of Mr David E James, seconded by Councillor 0 W Morris, it was resolved Ithat the Secretary should convey to the Rev Gwynoro Davies the sincere sympathy of all prespnt with him in his illness and that they all wished him a speedy recovery 60 th t be might at an early date assist in the work of the Association as he had done so well in the past.—Mr William Owen proposed, Mr David E James seconded, and it was resolved that u vote of sympathy should also bo conveyed to Major Beat and Mrs Beet in their illness. ADJOURNED LICENSING SESSIONS, Tuesday, February 26th. -Before R. Prys Owen, 'Lewis Lewis, W Anseli. John Evans, and H. Wynne Williams, Esqrs. The Pavilion.—111 respect of the ap- plication by Mr David Davies for a danc- ing licence for the Pavilion, Mv Ivor Evans (Mr A J Hughes's offices, Aber- ystwyth) appeared and asked for an ad- journment to the ordinary sessions. He had had notice from the other side to. produce the licence aiui unfortunately that, was not forthcoming. It would he a matter of great favour to Mr Hughes and to Mr Davies if the Bench would kindly adjourn the matter to the next- ordinary sitting.—Mr Louis Jones (Messrs George and Jones) objected to adjournment and said the applicant had had plenty of notice. The Clerk the parties all lived at Barmouth.—The Hi-iich granted the apphcanon. Atr Ivor Evans stated that Mr Davies had been served with a summons in respect of the use of the Pavilion and he took it that that also would be adjourned.—-P.S. Owen said that summons wass returnable to the ordinary Court and not that day. | The Marine.—The Clerk (Mr John Charles Hughes) said he saw Mr Jenkins of the Marine Hotel before the Court sat who sai(! lie was anxious to show the magistrates over the hotel for the pur- pose of inspection as decided upon at the licensing sessions.—The Chairman asked if there had been any fresh partitions put up since the last inspection.—Mr Jenkins replied that that there had been no st ructn'ra! alteration the inden- tIon.-Tlie Chairman said the \Ben-eh would visit the hotel that morning.

County Council Election SOUTH CARNARVONSHIRE. The sitting Liberal members returned unopposed in South Carnarvonshire in- eltide:- Mr Griffith Jones for Aberdaron. Mr G Hughes Roberts for Nevin. Mr Maurice Jones for Pwllheli. Mr Richard Davies for Portmadoc. The contested seats are as follows:- Llanbedrog, where Dr Gwenogfryn Evans (Liberal) and Mr G C Yale (Inde- pendent) are fighting for the seat vacated by Mr T E Griffith (Liberal). Bottwnog, Dr Thomas, Liberal sitting member; Mr G Owen, Nanhoron, bailiff, Conservative. Abersooh, the Rev Rheidol Roberts Liberal sitting member: Mr WTilliain Tnomas, MiiT, Conservative. Abererch, Mr. Robert Parry, Liberal sitting member; Col. Evans, Broom Hall, Conservative. Llanystumdwy, Mr Wm. George (Lib- eral) and Sir Hugh J Ellis Nanney (Con- servative) for the seat vacated by Mr W Pritchard (Liberal). Penmorfa district, Mr Owen Hughes, Rhosgill (Liberal) and Mr 'Lloyd Priest- ley (Conservative) for the seat vacated by Mr R 0 Williams (Liberal). Beddgelert, Mr William Pierce, Lib- eral, sitting member, Captain Hig^on, Conservative, and Mr Cadwaladr Hum- phreys, quarry nianager, Independent Liberal. Portmadoc (western ward), Mr J Jones Morris, Liberal, sitting member, and Mr R. J. Purnell, Conservative. Llanaelhaiarn, Mr. D. H. Davies, Lib- eral, Mr A. H. Wheeler, Unionist, sit- ting member. in most of the constituencies there will be keen contests, and those at Abererch, Llanbedrog, and Llanystumdwy are ex- pected to be very close. The hope is1 expressed that Liberals will not be behindhand with carriages. Usually, Conservatives are more in front in this respect and Mr. William George suffered owing to this in his fight against Sir Hugh twelve years ago when Mr. George was beaten by eight votes. Canvassing is being vigorously carried on by both sides. Public meetings, how- ever, are confined to the Liberal candi- dates, except in two or three instances, including Llanystumdwy and Criccieth.
