CARNARVONSHIRE & ANGLESEY; ASSIZES TRIAL OF PRISONERS AT CARNARVON. These Assizes were opened at Carnarvon this (Friday) morning, before Judge Walton. His lordship arrived in the town on Thursday evening, and was escorted from the railway station to the. Vicarage, which serves as judge's lodgings, by a posse of police under the super- intendence of Supt. Griffith. His lordship was accompanied by Major F. J. LI. Priestley (high-sheriff) and Mr H. G. Vincent (under- sheriff). GRAND JURY. The following were sworn on the grand jury: Sir W. R: Preece (foreman), W. Bevan, Esq., R. Roberts, Esq., Dr R. Parry, M. T. Morris, Esq., 'Richard Thomas, Esq., W. Bayne, Esq., E. Hughes, Esq., Major F. Turner, Robert Hughes^ Esq., J. W. Wyatt, Esq., Dr H. Jones Roberts, R. Roberts, Esq., W. Watkin, Esq., Thomas Hughes, Esq., Col. T. E. J. Lloyd, J. E*. Roberts, Esq., J. Adey Wells, Esq., G. H. Humphreys, Esq., H. Jones, Esq. THE CHARGE. In charging the grand jury, his Lordship said that he was glad to find that the business they had to deal with was not very heavy, and to say that was rraite a common form. His experience of the North Wales circuit was that. there was very little for a judge to do. There was very little crime in the county. His 'Lordship then reviewed the cases, five in number. TRIAL OF PRISONERS. John Spencer (42), seaman, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a cost letter or postal packet, containing a cigarette case, the pro- perty of the Postmaster General- at Llandudno, on or about the 2nd July last, and also with stealing from a post letter, or postal: packet, two antique seals and two antique gold watch keys, the property of the Postmaster General at Llandudno, on or about the 2nd August last. Mr Owen Roberts I(instructoo. by Mr J. B. Allanson) prosecuted, and Mr T. Art-emus Jones (instructed by Mr Evans Thomas.) defended. It was stated that the prisoner had been for 22 years in the Royal Navy, and afterwards held a position on the Great Northern Rail-, way. He then lived at Peterborough with his wife and six children. He entered the service of the plbst office with the best testimonials. Mr T. Artemus Jones called the Rev Mr Phillips to give evidence as to character. The witness said that the prisoner was a member of the Sunday School class at the Presbyterian church. He was a man of temperate habits. He had occasion to speak to witness about his family troubles. He had an invalid wife, and a boy, of whom he was very fond, died. He had also an insane bov. Mr T. A. Jones said that there was nothing known against the prisoner until lie went to Llandudno. He was perplexed by money troubles, and in a moment of temptation he stole the articles. J His Lordship, in passing sentence, said that the offence to which the prisoner had pleaded guilty was a very grave one. He gave weight to the fact that the prisoner had served his country in the Navy creditably and honourably. The case was not one in which the prisoner had yielded to sudden temptation, and he could not pass it over lightly. 'He was bound to make an example of the prisoner, but the sentence that he would pass would not interfere with the prisoner's pension. The prisoner would be sen- tenced to eight calendar months in t> e second division. A PORTDINORWIC GROCER IN TROUBLE. John Owen (36), grocer, Port-dinorwic, pleaded guilty to a charge t f uttering, a certain guarantee to Lloyd's Bank, Carnarvon, for the sum of JB150 (well knowing the signature therein, purporting to be the name and signa- ture of Mr Wm. Hughes, Dolgelley, his father- in-law, to be forged), at Carnarvon, on or about the 3rd June, 1905. Mr Trevor Lloyd (" Jistruct^.d by Messrs. Car- ter and Vincent) prosecuted, and Mr E. J. Griffith, M.P. ((Instructed IMr R. Roberts), defended. Evidence as to character was given by the (Rev W. Jones, C.M. minister, who said that the prisoner founded the Y.M.U.A. at Port- dinorwic. Similar evidence was given by Mr R. D. Jones and 1M r Taylor, Portdinorwic. Mr (Griffith, addressing the court in mitiga- Dion of sentence, said that the prisoner's father died in financial difficulties. The prisoner tried to do all he could to put things straight, with! the result that he himself got into difficulties. The prisoner had been 'm gaol (for five months awaiting trial, and he was only allowed out of his cell for two hours each day. He (Mr (Griffith) hoped that his lordship wouKT-say that the prisoner, haying (served that term, had to some extent worked part of the sen- tence. that would ibe passed. The Governor of the Prison (iMr Hall) said that what had been referred to by counsel was the prison .regulation. The Judge remarked that a man who was awaiting trial ought to be treated as an inno- cent man. In passing sentence, his loTslhip said that prisoner had pleaded guilty to a dis- graceful crime. He would be imprisoned for seven calendar months.

VOLUNTEERS AT TOWYN FARMERS' CLAIMS FOR DAMAG'E. The Brigade Quartermaster otf the Cheshire Brigade of Volunteers wrote to Towvn Urban Council that he Jiad received five claims from farmers for alleged damages to land while the (Brigade wa<s manoeuvring during their Whit- sun encampment ;>j, Towyn, and had endeav- oured to amicably settle, but the farmers seemed) determined to accept nothing less than the amount claimed. He had forwarded a cheque and form of receipt to all the farmers, but had not received acknowledgment of the same. He asked the Clerk of the 'Council to assist him in closing the maitter. Colonel Ommaney was very much annoyed with the conduct of the farmers in the matter. Captain Enoch Lewis (Aberdovey) asked what the Council ha.d promised to do when Mr G. S. Denniss, manager of the Cambrian Railways Company, attended Towyn to make arrange- ments for the accommodation of the volunteers. Mr Henry Evans (Towyn) reolied that the Council promised nothing, and that the claims should have been settled while the volunteers were at Towyn. Captain Lewis: Towyn was anxious to have the volunteers down. Mr Henry Evans: Are we anxious ? That is aouestion. Captain Lewis You are at Towvn. We at Aberdovey are anxious to have the volunteers— four miles away Daughter). 'Mr H. Evans: Thev do wherever thev like. and then grumble if farmers want to be paid for the damage done. The Chairman Thev cro nil 0,Pf our land rvnd don't ask any one bov'« permission. •*fter some further discussion, it was flecu'r-rl that the clerk should write to +h*» Quart*r- m-ister. statiull that the Council could not awisfc him, but susreestinfr that he should submit the claims to am arbitrator.

THE EYTON WILLIAMS' BEQUESTS HFrom a Special Correspondent). I hear that this cause'celebre is not yet on the tests. What the precise position of litigants and trustees are has even yet not been quite decided but in the course of a chat which j. had this week with one of the trustees, he said We shall probably go to court and say, Who is to have this twenty thousand pounds odd ? The University and the University college of North Wales or Mr Eyton Williams' surviving relations ? The educational authorities will brief council to show 'that they are entitled to claim the money under their charters. Mr Eyton Williams' realigns will argue to the contrary." I asked if the Government was even remotely interested, and the trustee said I fancy the Attorney-General will appear on behalf of the Crown to ask the court to refer the matter for a scheme of administration to be drafted but j I cannot really see that the Crown is even remotely interested, ifor lif the. money does not go to the institutions it was intended to bene- I fit, then it is obvt/ous it must go to the next- of-kin." -J¡¡¡i

NETS IN THE MENAI STRAITS FISHERMEN'S GR.I P?VAiXOE AGITATION FOR REDRESS. (From at Correspondent). .1 The Seiont, Owyrfai and iLlyfni tBoard of Conservators by making it illegal to draw a net of any kind (other than a trawl) through the Menai Straits have thrown out of work a body of the most industrious class; of workers in Carnarvonshire. In the Straits, soles weighing five to seven uounde. and unsumassed for table purposes by any found in British waters, are plentiful. Bass, brill, codling, flukes, mullet, plaice, pollock, ray, turbot, and other fish swarm in its waters. I give the actual catch j in a single night (before the present bye-law came into operation) of three net fishermen, each with his own boat and net. No. 1 caught 401b. of sole, No. 2 162 bass, and No. 3 26 wains (3121b.) of flukes—all in a single tide. Others gave me similar experiences, and; I was assured that an average o;f 3551 to £2 a. week was no uncommon earnings for the ordinary fisherman. "And now," these men loafing idly about the quay will tell you, "we cannot earn a. penny we go about with nothing to do but think of empty cupboards and starving families and of the shoals of fish within reach of oux nets., which we dare not touch The Committee of the Carnarvon Net Fishers' Association who have signed a petition praying: for the relaxation of the rule Number 31, are nearly all heads of families. These and their fathers and forefathers for generations have f pursued their calling without let or hindrance. Their temperately worded petition, just pre- sented to the [Board of Conservators, concludes with the follownig paragraph "We respectfully and earnestly urge you to take such steps as may restore to us this our ancient right at the earliest .possible moment. so that we may save at least so,me portion of the present season, to which we must otherwise j look forward with very serious. apprehension and grave misgiving as one of enforced idle- ness, and consequently of empty cupboards." The bye-law was passed admittedly in tha interests of salmon preservation and sporting rights in the two small Rivers Seiont and 'Gwyrfai, which empty into the Straits on its southern shore and western extremity. For the whole length of the northern (Anglesey) shore and for three-fourthsi the length of the Carnarvonshire shore there is not a single salmon stream. The bye-law complained! of operates from the 1st of September to the 1st of IMarch in each year. These are the salmon close season. They happen to be also the months in which the best hauls of the other fish named may he got. The men in their petition pledge themselves to 'render every assistance to erasure the due observance of reasonable bye-lawa calculated to secure salmon preservation. They, however, point out that by no stretch of imagination can the greater part of the Straits be considered salmon Ground. They ask the (Board of 'Conservators themselves to define what thev consider to be salmon ground, and. while strictly prohibiting all net fishing within the prescribed area. to throw the rest of the Straits open to the fisher- men to pursue their ordinary calling. J

A QUESTION FOR MUNICIPAL CANDIDATES. The Fishermen's Association is this week submitting a copy of the petition to every can- didate at the coming municipal election, and a,ski_ncr whether, if elected, he will support a motion that the Town Council endorse the fishermen's request for a. modification of the bye-law on the ground (1) that the bye-law as 't now stands is unnecessarily oppressive, oon- demning a large number of men to enforced idleness for six months in the year and (2) that it extinguishes an ancient local industry, and tends to drive trade away from the town. The candidates were also as'ked whether thev would! use their influence outside the Council to "re-establish the Carna-rvom Fishery Industry now threatened with extinction." { Of the ten candidates, eight have written giving affirmative replies. So far, Messrs W. 'Hamer and R. Newton I have not replied.

THE CASE FOR THE BOARD OF CONSERVATORS. (Special for the "Herald.") A well-known angler, in the course of an interview. said that any movement in favour of the alteration of the existing bye-laws should be taken with great caution. The bye-law to which objection was now raised was passed owing to the wholesale poaching of salmon in the Straits by net fishermen after the close season had commenced. The prevention of netting in the Straits during the close season was rendered necessary because, formerly, as soon as the salmon netting season was over, an- other lot of net fishermen with nets of a smaller irue'shj <mmiediiat>el'y .started' to draw in the Straits on grounds frequented by salmon. As the permission given to the public by big ripar- ian owners depended upon the preservation of salmon, it was in the interest of bona-fide anglers to oppose any alteration in the existing conditions. As to the undertaking which the petitioners J said they were prepared to .cive that they would not draw on certain grounds, he asked, "Who is to see that the undertaking is faithfully car- ried out?" Jt would, he thought, require an army Of keepers. For a, screat many years past. very few draw nets had been regularly used in the Straits, and fishermen certainly did not go out with those nets after salmon had finished ascending the rivers, which pointed oonclu- sively to the fact that there was considerable doubt whether they would ever go out if it were not for the chance of catching salmon, By far the greater part of the netting done in the Straits was done bv trawlin<? fishing boats, ■ which were not prohibited by the present bye- laws. The idea, he continued, of the draw netting being a local industry was absurd. 'What the men made by draw nets with such a mesh would keep them but for a very small portion- of the year, even if they had been in the habit of going out regularly, which thev had not. He presumed that the present agitation was like that for the retention of the R.N.R. Battery at Carnarvon during the last General Election. It was an election cry to further the interests otf over-anxious candidates. It would be inter- esting to know what the returns were for the last ten yearsi of fish caueht'bv nets other th.w trawl nets in the Straits. It shouJdi also be remembered that the fishermen had every chance to make their objection at the time the notices of the intention of the Board of Con- servators to make bve-laws were published in 190?. His honest opinion W:¡IS that the whot" mn-tt-p-r had been crosslv exaggerated'. and it certainly would not tell in favour of any altera- tion at any inquiry. Tn conclusion. he said that th" scarcity J)f jvMnvm in the whole of North W"!es was- suffi- ciently well known to warrant stringent mea- sures bein? ta^n their projection and I preservation. Similar bve-laws had beer made in many par's of Great Britain, and. therefore, Carnarvon diid not stand alone in that respect.

McKillop to their midst after their recent illnesses. EDUCATION COMMITTEES REPORT. ATTACKS ON fuORD STANLEY. Mr Lewis Hughes j(vice-chai-rman of the Education Committee) submitted the quarterly report of that body, which stated that the com- mittee had proceeded diligently with the work of education in the county, and' had paid due regard to the interests of the ratepayers, con- sistent with the efficiency of the work in hand. The report of the architect upon the repairs of the Council schooJs was upon the same basis as that that of the non-provided schools. The Board of Education was pressing the committee to proceed with the repairs and alterations to I the various schools, and had in several cases been compelled to suspend the payment of grants until they were assured: that the defects would be remedied. The Department imght be compelled to refuse to recognise the schools. In consideration of the heavy burden now upon the authority, the Board suggested ex- tending the repairs over a period of three years. The committee had rep'ltVd dealing seriatum with the schook in question, and acrreeincr to consult H.M. Inspector on the order in which the schools would be taken. In the cases of Amlwch, Menai Bridge. Llanfair fP.G. and Llangefni CouncSl tSdhools. Ith-ey were hoping to dd away with the dual system after the passing of the new Act. The committee was assailed with a charge of extravagance, but were the School Boards now in existence, their expenditure- would be much greater than that, of the central authority. Dealing with the staff- ing, Mr. Hughes said there was an increase in the applicants for posts, and a/Iso an im- provement in the ^qualifications. In regard to attendance, the committee were glad to note a great; impnorjement. and jaJjready they had earned B470 iVi grants in excess of laist year. Mr Lewis Hughes said that the committee much reeretted the covert and insiduous at- tacks which were constantly beinsr urged- upon Lord Stanley, the respected chairman of the Education Committee. His services and assist- ance had been oif incalculable value to the county, and in no sense whatever could it be alleged that he had ever attempted to over- ride the opinion of the committee. His Lord- shill) had always co-qperated with the com- mittee in ev-°rv instance, and had always been ready to modify his own views in order to meet the wishes of the majority of the committee (applause). ,He viewed with extreme regret The fact that week by week this splendid gentileman was assailed in this scurrilous way. and he hoped the attacks would be discontinued until those who made them had .better rea- sons than pure suspicion for them (hear, hear, and applause). Captain Lawrence Williams criticised the work of the committee, and instanced as an example of extravagance the spending of two hundred pounds on furniture for the Stanley Technical Institute at Holyhead. Mr Lewis Hughes had included Llangefni in the term "petty squabbling villa/ges" when referring to the two schools there, but spoke of Amlwch as a "metropolitan town." He (Captain Wil- hams) considered this was not a. flattering way of referring to any place in the county. The sum mentioned as likely to be expended was £ 20,000, but it seemed to him as likely to reach" a. quarter of a million if things continued a.s at present- Mr W. D. Jones It is money well spent. Captain Williams said that to one or tiro members of the Council it did not matter wihnt the cost was, but the unfortunate ratepayers had to bear the burden. Referring to the at- tacks upon Lord Stanley, he must say that, personally he thought his lordship treated the Council with the greatest contempt, for he never attended in order to explain the Educa- tion Committee's report, but always deputed the Vice-Chairman to do this. Mr C. F. Priestley considered that the Vice- 01 airman of the Committee had treated the question of educational expenditure in a very light manner, although it was well known that the ratepayers generally felt very sore on the point. They wanted their full money's worth, and did not believe that money should, be treated a.s if were ditchwater. 'The past his- tory of Anglesey bad shown that its system of education could turn out men who had distin- guished themselves in many walks of life. Lately he was visiting Shropshire, and he no- d with what reasonableness the buildings | w^r<; in comparison with the grand, palated structures in Anglesey, which were all eaves and spires, an obornination to arolwtec- ture, and, ate/?, to economy (laughter). He be- lieved the Education Committee had started. badly, a.nd were progressing badly, and if mat- ters did not alter the burden would make the word "Education" more unpopular than any other word in the dictionary. The architect's report had given him the nightmare—(laughter), —but they were told by Mr Lewis Hug^ies that it was worth no more than the one upon the Voluntary Schools. Professor J. Morris Jones took up the remarks of Mr Priestley in regard to Shropshire, and said that when he was in Shrewsbury about 18 months ago. the Mayor had bitterly com- plained of the education rate, so that they were also complaining there. The neglect of th* School Boards to provide proper building bad compelled the Education Committee to make up the deficiency, and no doubt they wouJd have to spend a great deal more on education than hitherto. He gave the Committee the credit of spending judiciously. Expenditure on edu- cation was undoubtedly the best investment. The most, formidable rivals to Great Britain were those countries whiidh spent most money. in this direction, viz., Germany and the United St a tes Mr Lewis Hughes, in replying, congratulated Mr Priestley on his return to the Council. Mr Priest ley had charged him with levity in pre- senting the report, but .he (Mr Hughes) would noif. dream of insulting the Council by dealing lightly with a report respecting the expendi- ture of twenty thousand pounds. The Commit- tee were sinr\TtfV administrating the Act of 1903—*(hear, bear),—and their labours were so far only elementary. There was not a. member of the Education Committee but who was otriotly economical. To Captain Lawrence Wil- liams he would point out that they were getting rid of the county debt at the rate of £800 a. year. In regard to Lord Stanley. Mr Hughes paid thialt there was no man in Anglesey who spent more time uipon the public work of the county. He often spent a whole day at Llan- getfni, actively pursuing his duties in the in- terest* of the county. 'He was, an exceedingly capable administrator, and they should ap- I 'preioiate his services at their proper value. That day his lordship was engaged in the House of Lords, and could not, therefore, be present. So far a a economy was concerned the sneaker "■vfisihed he could impress upon the peofofe of Brynsiencyn, Llanfair P.G.. and Menai Bridge thia-t bv sending their children to Carnarvon- shire Schools they were preventing the Anglesey- Schools from earning grants whioh would •tim^-nnt to a verv large sum in a year. The diiscup^Km then closed. LLA \<F AIET D^'PTT5'. The LTanfaelog Parish Council wrote refusing fo pr-ccnt terme: offered hv Maior Llovd in tho Llanfaelog disotife. which the County irVniineil bad ren^mTrended them to accervt. They gave variors reasons for this, and amongst fliem they raifed the onestiop of it bf^'r^ n. bad precedent to ^omroromif-e in such a matter, lit was decided, after a long discussion, to appoint a, new committee to go into the matter. I THE MENAI BRIDGE. A loiter was read from the Oiiice of Woods, stating that as a result of representations made I to the First Commissioner by the local bodies in connection with the management of the (Menai Suspension Bridge, ho had been author- ised by the Lord Commissioner of H.M. Trea- sury to make an offer to hand over the bridge to the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey County Councils on the conditions that the bridge to be transferred to the Councils free of charge or of any liability from pa.st debts; the Councils to have power to reduce or abolish tolls; the J transfer to carry with it liability on the part of the Councils for the future maintenance of the bridge in perpetuity. The offer was made sub- ject to the necessary legislation, which the Government would undertake to introduce. Mr McKillop said they had enough millstones round their necks, judging from the previous speeches. Mr 'W. D. Jones considered they should have more particulars. Mr Harry Clegg believed it should have full consideration of the matter. Some years ago, the Government offered them the bridge for £15.000. but now they offered it free. Should the bridge be destroyed, it was possible that the Government would call upon the counties of Carnarvon and Anglesey to replace it. The 'Government could not be called upon to rebuild it. He proposed that a committee be appointed I to meet a similar number from the Carnarvon County Council Captain Lawrence Williams supported Mr M'cKillop. as it was now an enormous loss to the Government. Colonel Hampton iLewis said that when it was offered to the Quarter Sessions, it was on con- dition that no tolls be charged, and the offer was refused. IMr McKillop said that the bridge was in a dilapidated condition. Mr J. R. Davies remarked tha.t the bridge was 80 years old, and. being of iron, had con- siderably deteriorated. On the Carnarvonshire side, it was built on an artificial foundation, ] there being no rock, and no-one knew what was taking place. Only two voted for Mr Cleg.g's motion, and it was decided by a large majority to refuse the offer. RIFLE 'RANGES. Mr Lewis Hughes, on the Education Com- mittee's report, asked if it was premature to consider the question of rifle ranges, especially for the intermediate school lads, or even the older boys in the elementary Schools. Some other counties were moving in this direction, and it was a happy coincidence that the ex- High-Sheriff (Mr Prichard Jones) was offering an annual contribution of £100 during his life- time to promote this. Mr Hughes said he be- lieved they should do something in this direc- tion. There were no further comments. BORROWING QUESTION. The Finance Committee report contained a reference to the application of the Education 'Committee to borrow J35162 2s 6d, and said j they felt, it would be far better if the loan now required! could be effected on the 60 years' repayment scale contemplated, and provided for by clause 17 of the Education Bill. The Chairman explained that it had been sug- gested that a small deputation should go to London and see the Education Authorities, with a view to having the period of repayment ex- tended. The borrowing powers of the county had come to an end, the rates were very higjh, and the short period of repayment increased their burden. Mr Hugh Thomas explained' that now they oould only borrow for 3D years, but if a t-em- } porary loan could be negotiated until the be- ginning of 1908, when they expected the new Act would come into force, they could re- borrow for 60 years. Mr Harry Clegg pointed out that the bank rate was very high at present. The money was actually being spent, and the loan was re- quired. They had to decide whether it would be better to get the loan temporarily, or pro- ceed a,t once to negotiate for a 30 years' one. The Clerk said he Council could borrow tem- porarily upon the personal security of the mem- bers. Mr W. D. Jones pointed out that the Holy- head Urban Council had obtained a loan with- out this. Mr Lewis Hughes proposed that a tem- porary loan be obtained. It would be better to flounder about for 12 months than for 30 years, Mr W. D. Jones seconded. It was decided to leave the matter to the Finance Committee to negotiate such a loan, but willh power to secure a loan for 30 years, if one could he got at a reasonably low figure. SWOP HOURS' ACT. The Council considiered two petitions from the dta-pers and boot a.nd shoe dealers at Holyhead, and decided to make a dosing order under tihe Shop 'Hours Act. RE-ELECTED.

I STRIKING CARNARVON EVIDENCE One swallow does not make summer, nor doftf* on* striking cure prove a. medicine to be (good. But wlusn evidence is piled on evidence, proof on proof, case upon. case, all given by neLghlboure, it must he believed. "I can speak well of Doan's backache kidney pills." payR Mr David Bridges, 55, Chapel- freei, Carnarvon, "for they have done me a ilot of good. "For six months before taking the pills I suffered from severe pains in my back, and rijjflit round the loins. I was so bad at one time that I could hardly get on with mv work. I knew the trouble was caused by my kidneys not acting properly, beoause the secret-ions were unnatural. T am a stoker, and I believe tlbe sudden changes of air were the cause of my kidneys becoming disordered. "Of all the medicines I tried, only Doan's backache kidney pills gave me permanent relief. I soon found that these pills were jus twibat I wanted, so I kept on with them, and the\* completely drove away the pains. I believe Dean's pills have cured my kidneys, for there i* no sign of any disorder now. /Signed) David Bridges." What better encouragement could there be than this home proof ? It brings hope to everv kidney sufferer-to the man whose work is made slavery by backache, rheumatism, kidney cold, urinary disorders, sciatica, eRarp pains 1 when stooping; to the. woma.n made miserable i by dizzy spells, frequent headaches, and mys- terious aches and pains which she mistakenly puts down to female complain The genuine Doan's backache kidney pills arc safe and reliable for old and young. Their one purpose is to heal the kidneys—to build j them back to their natural condition so that thev can filter out the uric acid and other kid- nev poisons that cause disease. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills art two shil- lirnow and ninepence per box (six boxe.s for thirteen shillings and. ninep&nee).

Ii PORTMADOC SHIP IN THE LABRADOR HURRICANE I The recent hurricane on the Labrador and Newfoundlajid coast have caused extensive de- struction on land and Eiea, and vessels who were unfortunate in being; within the circle of the hurricane had narrow escapes from disas- ter, and their crews passed through terrible experiences. Th schooner "Yosemite," burst her cables and drove ashore. The mountainous waves swept her over the reef when she lay on her broadside, and was carried about half a mile along a shallow, rocky bottom in a very swift tide, and the wreck lay on her beam ends. Two of the crew were washed off the vessel, one being rescued by the Carnarvon schooner "Owen Morris," and,the others by the schooner "River Queen." As the "Yosemite" drifted she drove a hole through the bow of the "Owen Morris," and nearly two other schooners ashore. The "Owen Morris," commanded by Captain D. Evans, is a wooden three-masted schooner, of 168 tons gross and 139 tons nett register, and owned by Mr Owen Morris, of 49, High-street, Portmadoc, and registered at Carnarvon. v

THE LORDS AND THE EDUCATION IMLiL In the (House of Lords yesterday, in (Com- mittee, Lord Stanmore moved to defer con- sideration of the Education Bill until the final decision in the West Hiding appeal, but with- drew his motion. Lord Goschem said that if Voluntary Schools were to Be sacrificed1, they mus.t have Provided Schools in which the parents had confidence. The Archbishop of Canterbury eiatid there was the danger of a bureaucratic system of control, and on administrative groimds alone amend- ment was necessary. They must insist on properly qualified' teachers for religion, but all they could hope to do was to make the best of ttbadjob. iLord ILondtoncletrrv said the bill did not carry out the declarations of Ministers. Lord Crewe said the Government would pro- ceed with the bill, upon which the judgment in the West Riding case had no real bearing. The (Government had striven to do justice in the bill, but would carefully consider any amendments their lordships proposed." The motion for going into committee on the tUl wae then agreed to.

— CARNARVONSHIRE TEACHERS The dispute between the Carnarvonshire Edu. cation authority and the Church schools' man- ) agera reached an interesting stage on Wednes- day. As the result of the West Riding judg-. m,ent, the authority has served the Cnurctt school teachers with notices terminating theia engagements, to enable them to make a reduc- tion of one-tenth in their salaries to cover tha proportion of time devoted to denominational instruction. Acting on the advice of the Ban- gor Diocesan Shoois' Association, who havei obtained counsel's opinion, the Church school teachers have written to the county authority declining to recognise the notices served upon them terminating their engagements, and add- ing that they would look to the county au* t'hority for their salaries.

Mr Lloyd-George, President of the Board of Trade, personally attended ati Beddgelert to consi.der the application and to hear the objections on behalf of the National Trust. As a. result an agreement was arrive at which is embodied iin a new clause which it» is proposed to insert in the Portmadoc, Bedd- gelert, and South Sliowdon Railway (Lighfi Railway Order. The clause provides that the railway through the Pla-ss shall be constructed in accordanoe witn the original plans, sections, and cross sections, except where varied by a plan and cross sections which has been agreed to, and which tis to be signed by Mr Nigel Bond on behalf of the National Trust of Places of His- toric Interest and Natural Beauty, and by Mr W. A. Harper, on behalf of the Company, and! deposited with the Board of Trade. There is to be no departure from the plans unless the Lord Lieutenant of the county .(Mr J. E- Greaves) and the Board of Trade are satisfied tha.t it is practically necessary. All reasonable- directions which the Lord Lieutenant shall give as to the use and construction of cuttings, em- bankments, retaining walls, fence walls, and* other matters must be complied with by the- Company. The remainder of the clause is as follows: "The Company shall keep any posts of standards erected on the lands in this section: for the purpose of working the railway by electricity on the overhead system of suds • colour as the Raid lieutenant may direct, pro- vided that all the insulators shall be of a brown colour.
