But in welll-informed circ-eg, the gravest fears are still entertained! that the struggle will be und'e&nitely prolonged.

Robytos-Owen reported that the committee had, according to instructions, visited the place, and had I been accompanied by representatives of the parish council and others. They had found that though the path had been used by some inhabitants, this was done against the will of the landowner. They did not think that the path could be claimed by the public. —It waq recommended that if the Ty'nycae path was of any use to the public the dis- trict council should at once declare a right I of way.-Tho Lleiniau path was open to the -pnblic.-The Chairman proposed tho adop- J tion of the above report.—Mr R. J. Evans seconded.—Captain Roberta opposed on the ground tha.t there were proofs that the Ab- erafon path belonged to the puiblic.—Mr J. T.

Williams, Henllan.— ■TV'p.ving to a question, the Chairman re- that if the Nevin Parish Council de- ert to push forward their claim to the T>f-h, hey would have to bear the expend hemse.ves.—On a division, 12 voted in fa- V'T of th? adoption of the committee'« re- port and 8 against, several members remain- w.c neutral.

DEVELOPING THE UWYR-FAI VALLEY.
DEVELOPING THE UWYR- FAI VALLEY. j A (GREAT UNDERTAKING. I The new sl'ato quairries company, men- tioned in our last issue as having been formed for the purpose of purchasing and working quarries in the "Nant y Bettors" district is showing the greatest activity. Al- ready they haive, secured] the Hafodywern Quarry, on 63 years' lease, from the Woods and' SVxre^ia, through, tihie good' offices of Messrs W. Jones, 'M.P., D. Lloyd-George, M.P., audi J. Herbert Lewis, M.P., and it will be ready for about 200 'workmen in a few days. This week again arrangements were approaching completion for the purchase, on a simrijar lease, of the Bwl'ch- yddeilior Quarry, in the same district, and this rwil require nm very far short of 200 men to properly work it. There are several other quarriee in that neighbourhood, which, if opetnedf, would together give employment to about two thousand1 men, and! this the company aim at accomplishing. We also un- derstand that they are negotiating another •undertaking, which will be beneficial to the town and shipping of Carnarvon.. The com- pany is made up of wealthy business men fromi Denbighshire and1 FTinMnre, with Mr Ellis Rolberts, Portdlinorwic, as secretary. Several! of the leading memlbers of the com- pany will1 be down next iweek, to thoroughly inspect these quarries. .I.

Bight bad been adlawtted end 15 discharged. There were now present 101. [The number of tramps relieved was 54, as icoaripared with 65 last year.—The Chairman (observed that there fwas an appreciable de- crease cotrntpared with last year, but there had been an increase on the previous fort- fiight.—The master accounted ifor the m- prease by Stating tha.t many otf the tramps fvere going to jam the militia at Carnarvon.— A vote of thanks was passed to the master and imatron for their kindness and, attention -to the cook during her recent illness; and it twas resolved to advertise for. a. new cook and an assistant. -Th e application of the Bangor ISchool Boardi for a. piece of land adjoining the Glanadda Schools, for the pwpose of ex- tending them, was considered; and it was stated that the portion referred to had al- ready been sold to the Wesleyan Church, but that the latter were agreeable to the transfer of the land to ffhe Schoo] (Board, on condi- tion that they should have another site.- On the motion of IMJr (Hugh Hughes it was therefore agteed that the land be sold to the School Board for 7s per square yard, and ,that another portion /be sold to the Wesleyan Church at the same price.—The master re- ported1 that a main, named1 Thomas Jones, whose wife had become insane, desired to have her removed to the workhouse.—A long dtiscussioni took place, in the course of which it was stated' that the union ooWd not take chailge Of this woman, because she was not destitute, and' because no provision, had been made for lunatics.—The relieving officer was ordered; to remove the woman to Denbigh Asylum.
A STRIKE AT CARNARVON.
A STRIKE AT CARNARVON. On Tuesday lmoming last, aid tihe mould ens eja-ployed at Mesana IDe Winton'a foundry, Carnarvon, struck work, and from tftie particular we have been able to gather, it appears thiat the men's case is as follows — The moulders are /paid by piece work, or rather, a system that nearly approaches that method of payment. Aiboiifc ia (fortnight ago they decided to send a deputaition to Mr iStennin^ the manager, with a. view of ob- taining a higher rate of pay, and they ap- Jpoinfbed Mr ThomMa Prige Jones and another, to carry their meaaage to the manager, Mr Stenfiing granted them Ibdtter prices, and it -is said that he atee promised that those prices .were to remain in .force, whatever the viages (the men would earn. However, about five o'clock on Monday evening last, without any previous notice, as íø alleged, Thomas Price Jones and another, were called ibo the office, and told they would (be pa.id off up to the following Tuesday night. When asked the reason for this, the manager is said to have replied that he wanted to do with fewer hands..By the following morning two new moulders from Lancashire appeared on the scene; but when they undenstood how mat- ters were, they would not commence work, and they returned to theiir homes. When .the remaining moulders went to work on Tuesday morning they at ocice were handed notices to the effect that Mr Sbenning, the manager, bad decided to reduce the prices to what they were previous to the agitation a fortnight ibefore, and all the moulders then resolved to strike. The average wages of the moulders at this tfoundry is said to be aibouft 22bper week, according to the old scale. ,Mr 'Stenning very readily granted our re- presentative an interview. He said he did not turn the men out. If men thought they oould obtain a better rate of payment any- where else they had every right to go for it, of oounse. The average rate of wages for the mould era in this foundry was 2% a week according to the old soale, ibut some of the men had been •arning 30s. Questioned as to the all imporiiant point of the reduction in the prices, or rather the return to the old and lower scale after only a fortnights' trial, he said that it was a question of whether the men would accept one price for the whole floor or individual prices for each man and each. joib. 'By adopting the latter plaia, best men would receive the best pay, instead of the younger and more inexperienced men being very often paid better than capaible and good workmen ItS was often inevitably the case under existing arrangements. But the men would not hear of that plan; or, alb any rate, the young men would not have it," but he believed' that t!he older and more experienced would be quite ready to accept it were they left alone. The prices he was off-ering them now had been in. force for the (past fiix months, until the riae was grunted a 'fortnight ago, and the men made money under those arrangements at first. He de- clared himself ready to take all the strikers back agiain, even the two men who had been dikmaiased on the Monday night. Questioned as to his reason for dislm-issing those two men, he replied that he wished to reduce the numiber of mou'd'ers, for that deparbment had of date 'been geifeing ahead of the rest of the foundry—'they were turning out more work thian the machinery in the other de- partmen% oould cqpe with- Mr Steiwiing *ae.n^t asked how came it to pass that two ^e™\Jlands appeared on itihe scene on the ruefiday morning following the dismissal of the two o,d hands. He replied that two mien ftom JjipgAT^i applied for work on Tuesday, but wlhen lie told them the prices:, they went away. The strikers came to hilm on Tuesday in a very excitable manner, ibut people could not talk matters over in that fTame of mind. He quite ready to take them all back, and he should be very sorry to have to let the floor to any other workmen. Sine9 writing the above we are given te, understand that the men's deputation met Mr iStenninig thi^ PViday) morning, amd ftb,,t the dispute is now pTacHca-ny settled, and that probably .the men will resume work on Monday morning.

HANGOR NOTES.
HANGOR NOTES. Notwithstanding the protest made by 3tii P. S. Gregory at last week's council meeting, there seefms to be a determination; on the part of the Bangor advertising agencies to continue their .policy of defacing the city. During the last few days, another hoarding has been set up, this time near the football field. Moist of these boards, as Mr Gregory pointed out, projedb a few inches on to the roadway or paveiments of the city, and thus the cousci! should be to same extent in a position to raise abjections to them. Even, if this is not legally within, their power, there is, no doiibt, but that the council would have great moral power on fhe owners of thetee hideous things, if they made a. strong and deter-mined protest against them. I hope (Mr Gregory will kOOf) the ball rolling, and that, by means df legal or moral per- suasioni, he can clear iihe city of the meet hideeus of these advertisement boards, which -will undbuibtedffy do a great deal to "uglify' the town. Great alaitrn is felt in many,places at the prospect of a heavier rate next year. Of late yeara, the rates of the city have gone up by leaps and bounds until even at present (in- CLuding water and gas rates) they amount to over 108 in the j3. The prospect of another Is or Is 6d inicrease fe 'by no means a re- assuring one, especially in view of bbe en- ormous schemes which the council seem Bent on carrying out. The suooes's of the pier is to say the least douibtful as yet, and when it is remeirrfbered that the council are already applying for further borrowing powers with regard to it, and are promoting am order for the establishment of electric light, it seems almost suicidal to thiink of entering upon aruother scheme of providing workmen's houses. That there is need df these houses cannot be denied. Thle overcrowding of cer- tain partB of the city is a disgrace to a civilised country, as was only too well proved by the refinarkaixe evidence of Mr Bircha/m, and the emlbsequent inquiries. How to deal with the (matter is however a question which should receive great consideration from our councillors. There is undoubtedly too great a disposition to rush matfceite oni the part of miany of them, as was tremarkabty demon- strated in the Local Government Inquiry some time ago. The personal recriminations induilged in at the last meeting wi], not help the members to difsouss the matter in the riigfbfc spirit. There is, no doubt, that the facts brought out iby Mr Henry Lewis are very. significant, ibut their meaning should not be ejtrainied, especially in view of the clear statement of the Mayor and members of the committee. Thib is ndt the first time that memibtnJ of the council have been charg- ing each other, and have been charged by outsiders of using their position for personal benelfit—for what eUse does it imeani—but such dhiarges are very grave, and should not be lightly imade or passed 'by. They show the need of great care on the part of every man wfoo is a memfber df public bodies, which deal in matters of public and private interest. Bangor rwas the first town in this part of the country to give a clear and' uninistakeable voice 00 the Oretanl question. White the matter has been IjedJb in tother places to be dealt with only in the meetings of public bodies, the leaders of oroinion in fiangor todk the (wise course of calling a town's meet- ing. And !the meeting beM at the Penrhyn Hafcl, on Monday evening, was a success in every reqpeot. The Mayor was in the chair, aa it was fitting that he shoulld be, aa chief citizen, and on the i^lalfafonca and among the speakers wore gentlemen of ail Arties in the town. CJhurohmani and Nonconformist, Liberal and Unionist, all seemed to be of the sania naSmd on itihe question. Never, I suppose, was such unanimity and unity of opinion dhown in the ihiBlbory of this city, which has alwaivs been (fanned for its sectar- ian and partisan feedings. The cbeexs which greeted etracyme-ation of "Greece and its gatll. larat action, and the cries of "Shame" and hooting which (followed reference to the die- cision of itihe [Powers to coerce Greece and defend the unapeakaible Task, were remark- able for their loodniess and tenooiby- I will not atbempt) to follbw the arguments of the speakers. The VeneraMe Archdeacon Pryce proposed! the reeolution protesting against waifeke operations being taken against Greece for her gallant action. Thfe was seconded by Professor Rhys Roberts in a.particularly con- vincing speech. While expressing confidence in Lord S&Mmry, Professor Roberts showed how criminal wound be the action) of England in allowing such a thik*^ to happen. He showed! how the Greek 'had always fought for (freedom, which is a dear word to every Engliahnnan, and' (blow the Turk has always been the representative of darkness and op- pression. Indeed, the qpeech throughout was full of teiling points, Wniudh were thrust home m a 'brililiant perforation, calling on England to be true to -her IfraddtioniS as the deliverej of the oppressed andl the friend of the weak. The other resolutions were passed' with as mucfli enthusiaiam as the first, which was re- ceived with acclamation. The speech imoet deeemving of note was that of lMlr S. (R. Jenkins, B.A., who was particulhrly telling.. Standing as a represen- tative of the students, and givimg expression to the thoughts and ideasi of young Welsh- men, Mr Jenkains was very happv in his lan- guage and manner. He seamed k) have been roused to great enthusiasm, and to have en- tirely laid; aside (tihe pulpit style which has, in my opinion, on other occasions, dirawn from the- off ect of his speeches. Whatever aibout this, it must be admitted' that he stirred the great audience whilch over-crowd- ed the (hall to their hearts.. The collection whifcb was made realised ft lls, and I hope I something will \be done to increase this amountt at once.

STAGE PLAYS AT CAR' NAUVUN.
STAGE PLAYS AT CAR- NAUVUN. FORTHCOMING APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSES. THE WORKING OF THE 'NONCON- FORMIST CONSCIENCE. Something -worse than Hamlet's ghost will haiunlt tHe Carnarvon Corporation ere long, if what we hear is correct. The Lord Cham- berlain has suddenly realised that .stage plays are being enacted in hiundteds of halls and other buildings throughout the country whitch. a-re not Ikicensed for such a purpose, and) he appeals to have made up hies, mind to put a. stop to it, and to bring under legiti- mate a.nd! proper control all buildings in which the dr^vina—whether legitimate or ille- gilUilmate—i<s being represented. DEfe has communicated ihis to the local authorities (prasulmably the police) throughout the king- dom, and we notice that last week a gentle- man was fined' at Conway for letting a hall in Penmaen/ma»wr for theatricals, the said haO being minus a license. -Now, the worthy and hbghly-regpectabl'e members of the Car- narvon Corporation will soon be sorely trou- bled in apifrit by the sad fact that they have, ever since the Roman era, been letting the Guild HaJH for all sorts and conditions of theaJbrinJa- f^erformarwes without applying, even once in a century, for the nece-sary li- cense What will' became of them should a sumtaoions be served upon them to appear "ibefore their betters," that is to say, before themselves, for they are nearly all o'f them J.[P."sl Wil- uhey be ccmscientious enough to inlflict a. fine upon themselves, and if so, wil] the ratepayers pay that fine for them ? Anyhow, the mandate having arrived in CariLarvon that all ita playhouse's iinust 'hence- forth be duty licensed, the corporation its now eager to comply with the requirements of that law which it has defied all1 along. More than thlat, we understand tJhat the Pavilion Company will also apply (for -a similar license for that huge building, in whiifch BIondin, Rostock, and mmnyi tmore amusers' of the public have heffa high revel, and in which also many a magnificent Eisteddfod and cy- manfa gami, and several Sassiynau and great proadhixig anniversaries of thle various deno- minations, have been held, not to mention the always suoceesM horse show. To make matters still' worse, from the point of view of tthe opposters of this licensing business, it is said that a. theatrical1 license wii. be ap- plied for the Drill Hall. All these applica- tions will he made to the County Bench, some on Saturday and some afterwards, and it is alleged that alL or some of them will be stubboriity resisted by the "Nonconformist League. We have not heard that it is intended to apply for a li- "cense for thle Conservative Assembly-rooms, but if any place in (Carnaevon requires such a license, it is that building, where excellent Stage plays 'are frequently performed. As regards the Guild Hall, it is alleged' that the I outlets are fearfully dangerous, that the I stairoases are but death-traps in case of a sudden, panic, the chief stairway having three or four comers, in which a great crowd rush- ing down would wedge itseuf into a frightful mass of struggling humanity, to become in a few minutes a h-eap of dead bodies. All those whom our representative has inter- viewed ion the question appear to agree as to tlbe dangerous character oif fthe outlets of this hal. Respecting the application of the Pa- vilion Company, everybody appear to be well satisfied as to tbh-e means of ingress and egress, for the building could be emptied in a few minutes, even if it contained ten, thou- sand people- But the opposers have another reason than this for oirmoeang in this case, and briefly, it can be put in this way: fA theat- rical licence carries with it (say they) an ex- cise license to selll intoxicants. At any rate, it opens the door wide for that. Suppose a theatrical (MlId, consequently, a drink) li- cenSe existed there last Saturday evening, when fully two thousand people were in, what an imimense public-house the Pavilion would have been The reasons for opposing the license to too Drill Hall have yet to be disclosed, but there is one general reason whadh Applies to this hall, as well os to all the others, and! that is, that three theat- rical licenses for tooh a small town- as Oar- I narrvwn would be out of all reason. In view of rumours of action bv the local ■Nonaonforniis't (League, our representative called upon several of its prominent mern- bem. Most of them wtere rather shy in giving their reasons, probalbly because they did not wiaint the "enemy" to have a glance at their trump cards. A few, however, ha.d the courage off their conrrictions, aadl we briefly reproduce the same,. The Refv Stainley Jones, minaister of the Salean Congregational Church, thought that it would be decidedly detrimental to the imQmlity of the town to have theatrical licenses for the Pavilion and, the Drill Hall. He was not against innocent amusement; im fact, he had many times, during hife short stay in Carnarvon, been very plain on that question, ibut he fully beliewed, that these licenses, if granted, would cause direct evil and create a taste for the superficial 'and the low. The Rev Owen Williams (Wesleyan) said he was dead against those things, but what was the use of opposing them ? People wouJd 'have them all the same. Three theat- rical licenses for such ia small town as Car- narvon was something aiwful to think about. But wlhialt saith the Church? The Vicar of (Llantoeblig told the 'IHerald'' man he was oomimitted to the fprincilpJe of stimujating rather than, checking every innocent amuse- ment for young people- He was strongly of opinion that reiligious people were losing their touch with the young people through holding too narrow vi-ews on, thip subject. He was not aware that the religious leaders in Canruarwn showed any interest in even such innocent thingts as gymnastics, volun- teiering, football', cricket, or rowing; the re- sult being that the lives of many of the young people were lived apart from those who ought to have a good influence over them. He also found that many of those who professed to hol!d very strict views on the subject at home, allowed thamBaPvaa very considerable latitude when they went from home. The late Dean otf Bangor was once travelling on the Mediterrmean, ancll in the same vessel there was a [Nonconformist minister. The two had (many arguments on Teligious and social qestioms. At one port, the minister went ashore wiuli the unato to some, enter- tainment. When he cianne (back 1m board, the dean began to "roast" him for this. The minister appealed to the mate, his compan- ion, and, said, "'I aim sure it was all' very re- spaotabi ct, was it not?" The mate's answer was, "Since you ask me, I am sure you might haive put all the clothes one of those girfe had on into a snuff box!" The. vicar concluded by remarking that young people must have their amusements, and religious people, if they were wise, would show them mora sympathy, and, trouble them with less sernDoniising. MJeeti/nigp of Jthe (Nonconformist League were held on' Miondiay, Tuesday., and Wednes- dday, to consider the question. We have been supplied with .the outline of the pro- ceedings on Wednesday :—Rev O. Davies, D.D., occupied the chair, and the secretary was Mr Berialh G. TEvajisf. The subject for discussion^ having (beem submitted, a legal metaibeir stated that the magistrates granted a. theatrical! license without conditions. An excise license would! be granted by the In- land Re-venue officers, as a. matter of course. It was reported' thaffc notice had been given by Mir Dan Rhys of an atpplicaihion for a li- cense for the Pavilion.—The Secretary- said that a. similar application was madie on behalf of the Guild Hall and Drill Hall, and it related with the mteeting to dlecide whether they were going to oppose the three appli- cations. A licensfe could be granted' for 12' months, and! for any less period, and it was recessary to pay 5s a month for the license. Some people would* say that it wads not wise to oppose aH soiits of dramatical perform- ances. If the magistrates confined the li- cense to short 'periods, people would be able to keep n, more effective watch upon them.— The Chairman explained that at was not in- tended to keep &way 1311 entertainments, buit to tiaike pfecauitioam against iow-cla.^s per- formances.—Another .minisitetT said that he would shut off the deluge altogether. It was alimioat certain that if these licenses were grantedl, drinking Licenses would follow as a master of oourse. He was not sure they I woulld succeed; but when anything of this nature is brought forward for .the first time, it should] not be granted unopposed. He would tike all the directors of the Pavilion to get good dividends on their capital; but dividend^ made in this war were by far too dear.-—A resolution was afterwards unani- mous-y passed to take certain, action. "Noncon." writes:—Once more, the 'Non- cmdoniaiiat Council of Carnarvon have been holding a aeries of sittbikigB on account of this question. Thdsi time, it appears that the powers that be have, found that a theatrical license as required for a building like the Pavilion, and the 'Noncodformist Council of Cariiarvon has thought this a golden oppor- tunity for putting a stop to these mischievous entertainments, which Last year they averred financially ruined the population of the dis- tricts around Carnarvon. This year, the Council haive came to aiiie conclusion that the entertaiiiimenltsi ruim them) morally. What harlm they can, prove do-es any maai, woman, or child,, receive from such entertainimenits as those that have been held this wintefr in the Pavilion? Is there more harm in going to see these performances at home than atway from home, as some of the great opposition- itsts do ? I thope the Carnarvon coumty magi- stratas will act justtily next SatuTldia-r. and grant the thieatrieal license asked for by the Guild) Haul1 and the Pavilion Company. Ftrom what has been Said in the meetings of the Council, it eearns to me that some of its members aTe im'utsio-halG and theatre-goers wthien from home, for one gentleman talked of a scene in wihich he wiitnessed1 a woman carrying a "pail of beer" down the pit. What! are the majority to be deprived of enjoying a good theatrical piece in their own town, becase a ceitain o-emtawui has seen a "paill of beer" carried ilnto the pits of certain music hal" 11 ? Does, this gentleman know so little of Oarnaalvon as .to ibeCieve he need go to any music hall to have that sight ? What about the huge jugs df supper beer carried regularly into the houses of Dissenting church members? Some surprise has been expressed at the fact that the applications (have to be made to the county — not to the borough — bench. The reason ife ithait the function of licensing theatres was .transferred 'by the Loeail Gov- ernment Adt to the County Councils, with powers to delegate the jurisdiction to the oounty magistrates. Through an oversight, presumably, the borough benches were for- gotten.
