ACHOS Y PARCH W. 0 JONES. Y PWYLLGOR A'R CYFARFOD MISOL. Yn nghyfarfod diweddaf pwyllgor amddiffynol y Parch W. 0. Jones, yn Lerpwl, mynegwyd na -ddarllenwyd mo'r llythyr a anfonasaÏr pwllg-or at y Cyfarfod Misol yn y cvfarfod hwnw, ac am byny I Y penderfynwyd ei wneud yn hysbys. Mae y pwyll- gor yn rhifo oddeutu deg a thriugaiu, ac yn gyn- nwysedig o aelocleu o bymtheg o eglwysi cryfaf y Cyfarfod Misol. Dywedai'r pwyllgor yn eu liythyr Yr ydym yn hollol unfryd yn dymuno ar i'r Cyfarfod Misol anfon cenadwri i'r Gymdeitbasfa nesaf yn cefnogi yr apel. Ar ol ystyriaeth ddifrifol yr Ydymyn gwbl argyhoeddedig na byddai yn bosibl boddloni yr eglwys mwyach trwy ail wrandaw. yr achos mewn pwyllgor dirgel, ac yr ydym o'r farn fod yr amodau a osodir gan Mr Jones yn bollol deg a rhesymol, ac nas gall dim llai na hyny gyfar- fod a'r amgylehiadau. Fel y gwyddis, y mae am- ryw eglwysi yn barod wedi datgan trwy fwyafrif mawr eu barn yn mhlaid ceisiadau Mr Jones. Der- byniasom y dyddiau diweddaf adroddiad o pglwys Anfield-road, lie y mae 352 .0 aelodau wedi ar- wyddo deiseb i'r un perwyl: un arall o Bootle, lie y mae 315 o aelodau wedi llawnodi un; un o Rock Jerry gyda 117 o enwau, ac un arall o Prince's- road gyda 250. Yn yr eglwys olaf a enwyd nid yw y gwaith wedi ei orphen, ac yr yrlym yn hyderns o ddyblu y nifer os nad rhagor na hyny. Y mae ereill o'r eglwysi hefyd wedi dechreu ar y gwaith o ddeisebu y Gymdeithasfa, a theimlwn yn sicr y cawn o leiaf dair rhan o bedair o aelodau y cylch yn ffafr yr hyn a geisir." 11 PENDERFYNIADAU EGLWYS1G. Pasiwyd yn unfrydol yn eglwys Pantglas y pen- derfyniad canlvnol. i'w anfon at Gyfarfod Misol Lleynac Eifiunydd,ac arwyddwyd ef gany swydd- ogion Fod yr eglwys bon yn erfyn ar y Cyfarfod Misol bwyso ar y gymdeithasfa ganiatau i'r Parch W, 0 Jones, B.A., brawf agored, a'u bod yn rhoddi iddo yr holl dystiolaethau o leiaf fis o amser cyn y prawf; hefyd ganiatau iddo gael moddion priodol i gof- nodi yr holl rlystiolaethau a'r ymdrafodiaethau er mwyn (a) galluogi Mr Jones i glirio ei gymeriad, neu (b) alluogi y cyfundeb i argyhoeddi y wlad eu bod wedi ymddwyn yn gyfiawn tuagato. Hfyrl. ein bod yn dymuno ar y Cyfarfod Misol gymcrwyd mwy o sylw o lais yr eglwysi ar y mater."

Rwsia a Phrydain. Dechreu yr wythnos daeth newydd fod rhyw anghydfod rhwng Rwsia a Phrydain, ac fod cym- yiau dnon yn vmgasglu nwchben y ddwy wlad. Ymddengys y bu ifrwgwd yn Tienstin rhwng v Prydgjniaid a'r Rwsjaid gyda golwg ar ddarn o dir a hawlir gan gwmni y rheilifordd, a hyny am y rheswm, meddir, ei fod yn eu meddiant er's rhai blynyddau. Dywed y Rwsiaid fod y darn tir yn perthyn i'w hetifeddiaeth hwy. Darfu i'r awdur- iociau Rwsiaidd rwystro Mr Kinder, aro-lygydd y rheilffordd, adeiladu llinell ar y tir o dan sylw. Apeliodd yntau at y Milwriad McDonald, yr hwn a'i cyfeiriodd at y Cadfridog Barrow, yu Pekin, a'r hwn a atebodd, '• Ewch yn mlaen gyda'r gwaith hyd yn nod trwy nerth artau os bydd raid." Gos- odwyd gwarchodlu ar y rheilffordd, a dechreuwyd ar y gwaith. Tystiodd Cadfridog Rwsiaidd, Wo- gack, yn erbyn hyn, a dywedodd na buasai y Pryd- einwyr wedi gwneyd hyn pe buasai ganddynt hwy gymaint o filwyr a Phrydain Fawr. Anfonodd y Milwriad McDonald at y Cadfridog Barrow i ofyti am ychwaneg o gyfarwyddiadau, a derbyniodd yr atebiad a ganlyn: "Parbewch i fyned yn mlaen gyda r gwaith." Dydd Llun adroddid fod y Prydeiniaid wedi cynyg galw c« milwyr oddiar y iir, ar yr amod fod Rwsia hefyd i alw ei milwyr ymaith. Gwrtbododd y Rwsiaid y cynyg, a gyrasant y llafurwyr a yrodd y Saeson i'r lie ymaith drwy orfod. Ofnid yr elai'n ffrwgwd, a pharatodd y Rwsiaid i ymladd, pnd hys- bysid o Paris fod y ddwy blaid wedi cytuno i gadw'r heddweh am bedair awr ar hugain. Y mae yn eglur fod teyrnasoedd y byd yn cymer- r_1 yd mantais ar y ffaith fod bron boll gadernid mil- wrol Prydain yn Affrica. Er engraifft hawlia Senedd yr Unol Dalaethau y rhaid dirymu Cytundeb Clayton-Bulwer yn nghylch Camlas Nicaragua. Dengys Ffrainc bob tuedd i fod yn anghyfeillgar Am Rwsia, y mae hi yn manteisio ar y cyfle, mewn dulliau ac i raddau anbygoeL Yn China, y mae hi eisoes wedi cymeryd meddiant o Manchuria- gwlad enfawr, gymaint a Ffrainc. Yn ddios, cym- erasai feddiant o Korea, hpfyd, onibai fod Japan yn debyg o fyned i ryfel yn hytrach na chaniatau. Ond gan bwyll" y gweithia Rwsia. Pan orphener y rheilffordd fawr ar draws Ewrop ac Asia, o'r Baltic i For Japan, ni fydd Rwsia yn hir cyn traws- feddianu Kasbgaria, Thibet, a Korea. Eisoes, y mae hi yn llethu Persia; a chyn hir, bydd ganddi « leiaf lain odir yn rhedeg i Gnlfor Persia, rhwng gwlad Shah a chyffindiroedd India. Gwyddis, hefyd, fod ei llywodraethwyr yn benderfynol o gipio yr agoriad i For y Canoldir—sef Caercystenyn o ddwylaw'r Twrc, hwyr neu hwyrach. Gwelant, weithian, gyfle braf i fyned yn mlaen yn ol eu rhaglen, heb i Brydain allu ymyryd.

ABERAYRON. DUEL.—The papers say that the Buffet-Deroulede duel has puffed out. When is the J.M.'s quibble to fizzle out? Smoke is always a nuisance. Ain't it? MARITIME.—The steamers Norsman and "Telephone with general cargo, and the schooner Cambria, of Portmadoc, with coals, were the arrivals this week. THE TOWN PIANo.A correspondent says it would be well to have a balance sheet of the monies spent and kept (if any) in connection with this instrument. If such a sheet were published;-every- body's mind would then be pianissimo. THE TOWN LIGHTING.—Among the grievances to be redressed by the new Urban Councillors, who- ever they may happen to be, will be the need of lighting the town lamps when the nights are dark, as for instance last Sunday, when the^darkness was great and certainly warranted the lamps being lit. On moonlight nights the need of doing so is not so pressing. ELECTIONS.—The interest in the forthcoming elections is very general. The candidates for the two seats on the Guardians are now reduced to three:—Mrs Rees, the old member (Independent) Mrs Bennet Jones, Pantteg, (Methodist) and Mrs Mary Griffiths, Riverdale, (Church). The candi- dates for the Urban Council are busily canvassing, and as there are 19 of them the householders here are having a lively time of it. SUCCESSES.—In the recently published list of successful candidates in the Queen's Scholarship Examination held last December we are pleased to find the names of Mr Thomas D. Jones, 3, Alban- square, and Miss Isabella Joses, 5, North-road, the former obtaining a first class and the latter a second. Both spent their term as pupil teachers at the British School. LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY.—" That bicycles should be taxed," was the subject of an interesting debate at the meeting of the Society on Friday last. Dr Davies presided, most of the prominent members being present. In the un- avoidable absence of Mr C. Denham Evans, who was to hp.ve moved the negative, Mr Dewhurst, B.Sc. read'bisi'/ip'Oi-.tb le was supported by Mr H. W. Seex and Mr E.' -ima Jones, the latter of whom was exceedingly humorous. The affirmative was moved by Mr D. Pennant James, who based his arguments on Adam Smith, the political Economist. Rev. D. W. Davies, Rev. J. M. Griffiths, Mr C. J. Hughes and Mr J. M. Howell also spoke on the affirmative. The voting resulted in bicycles being allowed to be exempt from taxation, only five voting for the motion, while thirty voted against it TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.—The usual meeting of this Society was held on Wednesday the 13th inst., Rev. T. Gwilym Evans in the chair. There was a satisfactory attendance. A hymn having been sung the Chairman delivered a shortaddress. Mr David James read a paper on the subject: "Yr Eglwys fel y cyfrwng penaf i sobreiddio y byd." The paper was a highly suggestive and altogether excellent and timely one. Next came a song by Miss J. Catherine Joues," The Ninety and Nine"; after which the Rev. J. Thickens delivered an address, in which he took np awl discussed the main points in Mr James's paper. Miss M. Edith Thomas sang Little Mary," Miss Hughes accompanying. The meeting then terminated. The next meeting of the Society will be a public one, and it will be held in Peniel Chapel When the Revs. B. Carolan Davies, Tyngwndwn, and \V H. Davies, Pontsaeson, will address the meeting. An unusually attractive programme is in course of preparation. The Soiree which will be held on the 3rd April, will .wind up the first session U' the Society. HonSE SHOW.—The forty-second annual horse show and bull and bull-calf show was held on Thursday las'. The animals exhibited were excep- tionally go, ld, and the "h"w was a success in every respect, Til., Cmn.uit ee had secured the services of Messrs Morgan.

The stage was prettily decorated with drapery, trees, laurels, and flowers. l'he Chairman, who has had much experience in trainingthe young in music, said that he was surprised at the acting and elocutionary ability manifested by the party. He said that he felt glad that he bad made an effort to be present, and that he had really enjoyed himself, and that it would be a good thing for the party to go to other places to perform the cantata.

The audience ex- pressed its thanks to Dr James for presiding, and also to Mrs Evans for her painstaking labour in working up the concert. The entertainment was concluded by "The Land of My Fathers" being sung by the Chairman, and the audience joining in the chorus.

TOWYN. SOCIAE EVENING.-—A social evening was held on Wednesday evening in connection with the English Presbyterian Church, at the Assembly Rooms. Tho chair was occupied by Mr R. B. Yates. The proceeds were devoted towards the reduction of the church debt. OBITUARY.-The death took place on Sunday of Mr Thomas Davies, son of Mr John Davies 16 Arfor-terrace, at the age of twenty-seven. De- ceased was assistant master at Cathcart Board School, Birkenhead and previous to that was a student at the U.C.W., Aberystwyth, He returned to Towyn in August last owing to ill-health. He was a very promising young man, and had every prospect for a bright future. The high esteem and the warm love in which Mr Davies was held, will cause his death to be felt as a personal loss by all who knew him. Not only was he by his great abilities and learning in great request by all societies, religious and social, but his great personal kind- nesses, his self-sacrificingspirit, and his willingness to lay his services at the disposal of all classes, rich and poor, were well-known to all the inhabitants of Towyn. While filling the post of assistant master at C ledpoeth Board School, near Wrexham he had a powerful ennobling influence on the youlng:meii of the neighbourhood, and on his leaving Coedpoeth to take up duties at. Cathcart Board School, Birken- head, be was presented with a most handsome illuminated address, bearing the signatures of many of the most influential men in the district. as a token of the deep appreciation and gratitude thev felt for his exceptional usefulness. Amongst his young friends at Towyn he was always the centre of attraction, and the admiration for him was extra- ordinarily great. Great .sympathy is felt with deceased's family.

Y RHYFEL YN AFFRICA. CYNGHOR HEDDWCH. Ychydig o newyddion swyddogol gaed o Affrica yn ystod yr wythnos. Mynegwyd fod Botha yn foddlon ar y teierau gynnigid gan Kitchener, ond nad oedd De Wet felly ond nid oedd yr un o'r ddau adroddiad yn swyddogol. Hysbysai Kitchener, ddydd Sadwrn, fod De Wet wedicyrhaedd Senekal, a bod y Cadfridog French wedi lladd neu glwyfo 46 o Foeriaid, a dal 146. yn nghyda llawer o ynau, &c. Cyrhaeddodd Arglwydd Methuen i Warrenton, i'r eroerledd o Kimberley, o Klerksdorp. Credid fod Boeriaid, dan arweiniad Scheepers a Malan, wedi myn'd tua'r de drachefn. Dydd Sadwrn, cyhoedd- wyd negesau oddiwrth Kitchener i'r pervvy] fod adran dan ofal yr Is-Gyrnol Park, aeth o Lydenburg ddydd Iau, wedi meddianu gwersyll Boeraidd yn Krugersport. Lladdwyd un, clwyfwyd 5, adaliwyd 32 o Foeriaid. Lladdwyd un, a ohlwyfwyd pedwar o'r Saeson. 'Doedd dim newydd yn Cape Colony. Metbodd y Boeriaid, dori drwy llinellau'r Prydein- iaid rhwng Ladybrand a Thaba 'Nchu. Hysbysid o Cape Town, dvdd Llun, fod commando De Wet wedi ymwasgaru yn Senekal, a hysbysid o Brussels mai De Wet a Delareyyw'r unigraio'r cadfridogion Boeraidd sydd yn gwrthod telerau heddweh Kitchener. Caed yno delegram hefyd ddvdd Llun oddiwrth De Wet yn clyweyd v byddai dillad, ac anghenrheidiau ereill i'r milwvr at y gauaf yn dderhyniol. Dydd Mawrth yr wythnos flaenorol, yn Nhv'r Cyffredin, gofynodd Mr Lloyd-George i Brit' Arglwydd y Trysorlys a oedd yr ymdrafod a'r Cad- fridog Botha wedi ei ddwyn i derfyniad ac os felly, a allai ef ddyweyd beth oedd y canlyniad ? Mr Balfour a ddywedodd nad oedd ganddo yn bresennol unrhyw Liysbysrwydd i'w roddi i'r Ty.
