Welsh Church Disestablishment Bill Abandoned. THE WELSH MEMBERS BADLY TREATED! MR. CLEMENT EDWARDS FL'KIOUS AND IX REVOLT. We lsh Churchpeople have anotner breath- ing space, but they roust kpep their powder dry, as the at ack, it is said, has only been deferred. Bat the Woizh members and their po'i^ca! backers amongst th,) Aati- Chare. Nv ncoLiformists have been badly- sold, and althuugb, for the time bJug, Cfjol d into submission they are very 0 The only man amon,st them, how- ever, who b".s the courage of his couvia kn" ix Mr Clt,ment Edwards, the member for Denbigh boroughs. He realises they have been sold and declares his persistent opposi- t;on tu the Government in conspqtiei.ee. The following is from the L,nd n Corres- pondent of the well-known Liberal papT, Th1 Licerpoi.l Pust and Mercu-y The threatened revolt in the Welsh party has b' en averted, or at least has been reduced to th^ din-.en&ions of a single rebel" (Mr Clem' nt E wards). The situation, how- ever, was so seri ;us that the Pi ime Minister ent the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the me ting of the Welsh party in ordur to xp! in the p -itioil "'uel iuten'-i- ns of the I G v. rnment. That Mi Lloyd George had a difficult task may be iuferred from the fa t that the meeting lasted an hoar and a half. He made prac ically t vor fEors fothi- rrue'inu—the first that tne Welsh Church B 1 ohoahi be read a second time, and then postponed till uex ses. iori and the s cond tt.at the 5 11 should not b< further pro owed ed with this year, but that, su j -<<. to unforeseen exigencies, it shoulo be tau fL'st bu n ss rext sessioo. Ou thb-e pe,- 1 po-d ions a 1 ng discusvion took place, and in t' e covirse of it Mr EUis Davius, Mr I El is G illitL'S, Mr Walter R h, and o hers, strongly corr;plaiued of the treatment which Walet hid received from the present Go eran-a'. B ,t perhaps the most dr fiaat note was sounded by Mr Clement Wdwarls. In the end a resolution was oroposed to the <_ff ct that having heard Mr Lloyd George, \ihe loaLr of the W lab party be requested to ask the P ime Minister whether the Govemment will make the DiaestablLhaient (Wales) Bid the first busmejs next session, and pans it inrou,h all its stages in the House cf C jinmons, aud in the event of their repl, tji ing in the olli: ruative, the meeting would, under the circumstances, accept it as satia- accory. A proposal was made that the iee'ing should be adj urued in order to clFoi ;e whether the statement of the Piiuie Minister was satisfiotory, but this was defeated, ouiy thiee memhora voting for it. The solutiun of the W^lsh difficulty is perhaps, on the whi-le, the most satis- tactory that could have been expected, but it wo a id bo useless to deny that there is a hood deal of dissatisfaction among several or the WcLh members at the treatment which the Weish Cuurch qu stioa has received, Mr Clement Edwards is the only member who declares that he will for t e luta; e persistently vote against the Government, but Mr Ellis Davies, Mr R.)ch, and others reserved full freedoaa of acfiou. Fur the present, however, the difficulty may be resarded as ended, for there b no doubt that the Prime Minister will give an affirmative reply t(, Sir Alfred Thomas's question. The abandonment of th. Bill for thifJ. seasien will give almost universal satisfaction. The two or three (iays which the second reading would have taken would simply have been wasted, for it w. 3 universally recognised that the Bill could not proceed further this year." Mr CilemLnt El ward,, has been as good as his vo.-d, and on Tuesday night spoke and vuted against tho Government's proposal as to t.u^e tor future business, and said he shoula vote a^a:n = t the resolution as a protest g the cynicia A i fhgrdnt breach cl rit. ou the part of »ue Govern- ment in abandoning the Welah Disestab- lishment Bill after having given a spec; c pledge that it would be passed through an it, islages this session. Mr Eilis G.xfficu also scathingly taunted the Government for gaiuiug four weeks of Parliamentai y time by not fulfilling their distinct pledges to the Wel^h Liberals.

ABEHGELE. THE MONTH Y E'AIB.—Wednesday's fair was a gratid one iu evot3 respect. It is question- able if e^er there was such a splendid how of, good agricultural hlJl"e, iu Abergele before.. -HIP CAFE. Sir Hubert Robeits and hi" family haVb decided to enlarge this building at once. The contract has bt.>Cll eutrusted to Messrs Jones and Piitchaid, Abergele. &ing.: absolutely non-puliuical, the Oalè has been a veiitable g d^end to the town. INSTRUCTIVE SCHOOL TKII\—By. the kind permission of Mr Euas Davies, Garth Gt-gp,, fifty-seven of the older pupils of the Abergele girl'" school spent a pr^fioable and pleasArits time on Thursday afternoon in inspecting the British fortress on Pen-y-Corddyn. They found it a very stiff climb, but Were amply rcp,id by the beautiful view, and were ready to enjpy. a good lunch after the climb. Afterwards- they walked all round the old camp, and libt. ned attentively to a lesson in history and geogcapby. Tnere was much interest shewn in the remains of too Walls and in various points of interest iu tbe surrounding coun'ry, such as .M;ider.¡. Rock and t.he Valley of Dulab." The day was not clear enough for a view of "Mud Siabod or Carnedd Lly welyn." The descent was somewhat risky, and the teachers glad when all the girls reached the bottom sa-ely. They had a merry walk homey singing patriotic and other songs all the way.

■ <> MAI:3 AXD AKIZOXA. Mars. according to Professor P^rcival LOITell, is a dying world, a flag expanse of waterless desert, whose few remaining inhabitants are I only kept from perishing of thirst by a wonder- ful system of canals which brings to the equa- to rial regions the melting snows from the Mar- tian polar ice-caps. Arizona, also, where his ob- Ger'rations were made, is a waterless desert, ex- copt whore it is irrigated by canals, the reason being that its few rivers run along the bottoms j o: terrific gorges, called canyons, some of which are over two miles deep. Of ordinary rainfall there is little or none, just as Mr. Lowell says is the case in Mars. In fact, if a Martian were transported to Arizona, he would probably de- tect little if any diiTcrcnce bct.vecn iiis own | ct-i.cy aud it. J ;z;J
