PIPE & CAP AS CLUE -9 WYRLEY MYSTERY. Butcher Again in Dock I EMPHATIC DENIAL TO CHARGE Penkridge, a quaint little riverside town in Staffordshire, which received a sensational recognition four years ago, when George Edalji was brought up and charged with similar offences to those alleged against Morgan, was early astir to-day, and when the accused man, Hollis Morgan, ..eary- eyed and anxious, was taken into the newly- erected red brick police-station to which the court is attached, the crowd outside was a large one. and tense excitement reigned. The stuffy court, similar to those of small market towns, was crowded well before the ordinary business of the court was timed to commence. Morgan stood charged with "feloniously, unlawfully, and maliciously killing a horse at Great Wyrley, in the county of Stafford- shire, on the night of the 26th of August or the ea.rly morning of the 27t.h of August," and there was a second charge of maiming another horse in the came district about the same time. Mr. P. Burke, of Stafford, appeared, instructed by tle Public Prosecutor; and Mr. P. A. Willcock defended. Lord Ha.therton. presided, and was supported by Mr. E. A. Faden and Mr. H. St.aveley Hill, M.P. Mr. Burke: I ask for a remand for a week to Oanocck, and every consideration will have to be given to it. Mr. Willcock: I must ask for evidence to justify a remand. Every ecrap of evidence that is available must at once be given. I was instructed only on Saturday last, and I have evidence to show tht this man could not possibly have committed this offence. I notice in the statements, on the basis of '■which the man is remanded at Wolverhamp- ton, that the allegations against the accused were that a cap which was said to have been tfoand in a field where the outrages were said to have been committed, belonged to the prisoner. That is absolutely incorrect. Therefore, I want to know the evidence on the point. Mr. Burke: I have made no allegation to that effect. Mr. WiHoocka: I am perfeotly justified i n Mking for this evidence to jutifY the ren?nd. It is also etated that  in the aeld at Wyrley, has  the property of the prisoner. rmat pipe is not the property of the prisoner?. I t say tha.t emphatically. ? is absolutely incorrect. The t,hird point is that statement on Friday in the polioe-oourt to the effect that Morgan was away from home on the nigfht of the outrage. I can show that prisoner was in Wolverhampton on The Night of the Outrage is said to have been committed; and, there- fore, oould not, under any circumatene-, have been in Great Wyrley that night. The next thing is that he was employed at a Wolverhampton pork butcher's, and that two days before the outrage he took home a butcher's knife and sharpened it. I want evidence of that. I say it is incorrect. The next point is that I desire information upon that point immediately it is stated that there bias been found upon the prisoner a mouthpiece, and that mouthpiece corre- sponds with the part found in the field. I want to know where the pipe is, and evi- dence upon it. Indicentally the prisoner's character on all sides ia excellent, and I must have evidence to justify the remand which has been asked for by Mr. Burke. I notice that a man has volunteered to-day that, ao far as the pipe is concerned, he threw a pipe away in that local it". I want to know where that man is, and whether any opportunity has been given him to see that pipe. I ask emphatically is that so, and whether the man's employer took him to the police to see it. We have nothing to oonoeal. The accused is talien away at a moment's notice, and we want such things proved to our satisfaction. I understand that it is not an arrest on behalf of the local police at all. Mr. Burke, of course, ha-s nothing to do with it, and I am glad that the prosecution is in his hands. I do say that, on behalf of a man whose antec,edents are excellent, that there should be stronger evidence to justify this Position of the Prosecution something more than a mere arrest, some- thing to justify a maa being detained in custody. t Mr. Burke: May it please the court, I submit my application on the grounds of the gravity of the charge. The application is reasonable, and I ask the court to accede to it. Mr. Willcock: There is nothing before the court to justify a remand. Mr. Burke repudiates' the statement made at Wolver- hampton. Mr. Burke: I have not repudiated it. Mr. Willcock: Then my friend will not identify himself with the statement. I say again that there is nothing to justify a remand. (Proceeding.)

A VULGAR ELOPEMENT I Married Woman in the Dock I The story of an elopement was told to the Grimsby Stipendiary magistrate, when Edith Mee, a respectable-attired married woman, was charged with stealing £ 30 be- longing to William Eptom, a threshing- machine owner. Epton said he met prisoner in High-street, Boston, on August 26, when she told him she had left her husband, and was now going to Grimsby, where her Uncle Fred" was providing her with £200 to start a business. After leaving her he went to the bank and drew 13o for the purpose of buying an elevator at Spilsby, and took a ticket to Firsby. At Firsby, finding the woman was in the same train, he booked to Grimsby, where they stayed in apartments as man and wife for two days and two nights. He then rose early to attend Boston market, and in the train he discovered that hie purse con- taining the £30 was missing. Having atended the market he returned to Grimeby to find Edith, but she had left the apartments. Mr. White, solicitor, of Boston* defending, subjected Epton to a lengtihy cross-examinar tion. "Have you never taken this woman away from home before?" he asked.No," replied Epton. ?S?you never take her to Spalding?-No, she took me. (Laughter.) And to Nottingham ?—She wired me from Nottingham to go to her. Did you not give her Lio in February. No, I lent it her. and I have the receipt. Have you not promised her zLZ5 to lea-ve her husband?—No, I have not. If you had found prisoner when you returned from Boston I suggest no proceed- ings would have been taken.—Not if I had got the money. From first to last of this vulgar elopement you never gave her any money at a, !I?-Only 8s. 6d. or 9s. The Magistrate: Did you expect to find her when you returned to Grimsby?—Yee. Then the arrangement was that you should meet there?—Yes. Detective-sergeant Leeeon, who saw the pri- soner in custody at Boston, said when he charged her prisoner said, "Why, he gave me the money." Prisoner, who pleaded not guilty, waa com- mitted for trial.

A FORGOTTEN CRIME I The discovery of the skeleton of a full- I grown m&n at North Side, Workington, West Cumberland, by an old man named Peter White whilst digging in his garden, has caused a sensation in West Cumberland. This North Side road is reminiscent of the frightful murder of Lucy Sande, a girl living in the village a quarter of a century ago, and whose body was discovered lying under a heap of stones by an old stone-breaker. The perpetration of that orime remains un- solved at the present day. The gruesome upturning with a silgae of a. human skull and bones by White, followed by a further find by the police of smaller bones, leads to the belief that foul play has been committed. The garden is oppo- site the church, but there was never any burial ground there, and the church was erected only about fourteen years ago. The West Cumberland IVorhs-a stone's throw from the garuen where the skeleton was dislodged—were then in their. heyday of prosperity, and boremen, leaving at the week-ends with large sums in their posses- sion, were often attacked by bands of despe- rate outlaws. The conjecture is that the bones found are those of one of the missing men at that period..

It is reported from Canton (China) that a rising has occurred in the Fingeshing district of the Yuen Chow prefecture. A magistrate and his family were killed, and the magis. tracy destroyed. A brigadier-general is pro- ceeding to the spot from Canton with four regiments.

HOTEL QUARREL Apology and Fight CARDIFF BARMAID'S STORY Hans Meyer, master mariner, waa brought before the Cardiff magistrates on Saturday charged with causing the death of Reuben Cox, an accountant. He was defemded by Mr. MoTgan Bees. The police asked for a remand until to- morrow (Tuesday), and this was granted. The prisoner, a big, well-built man, with a short, fair beard, wore a nervous manner. Mr. Morgan Rees applied for bail, urging that he was the master of a German steam- ship, and his appearance in that court so long after the affair showed that he intended to face the charge- He believed when they had he.ard the evidence they would come to the conclusion that the prisoner acted entirely in eelf-defence, and that there was no case to go before a jury. The deceased attacked the prisoner first, and he struck back. The blow, however, was not violent, and deceased went to business after- wards. However, erysipelas set in, and he died. Captain Meyer was a. man of good character, and he (Mr. Rees) felt sure he could guarantee his appearance if he were liberated. He could find substantial bail. Prisoner traded regularly to Cardiff, coming either to tliat port or to Swansea once a week. The Bench said they could not grant bail a.t present. BARMAID'S STORY. Immediately after the conclusion of the police-court proceedings Captain Hans Meyer was brought into the ooroner's-oourt, where an inquest was held by Mr. Llewellyn B. Reece, the acting coroner, into the circum- stances attending the death of Reuben Charles Cox. Mr. Morgan Rees, solicitor, again appeared for tlie accused, and there were a number of interested listeners present. Miss Elsie Council, barmaid at the Bute Dook Hotel, said she had been keeping com- pany with the deceased for about three months. On Wednesday, August 21, he was in the bar, about eight p.m. Prisoner and a. Mr. Empsail were also there, carrying on a converaa-tion in French, and Cox took exception to some remarks made by the pnsoner. About two hours afterwards the prisoner and the deceased left the bar together, and almost immediately afterwards she be-ard a ecuftle outside, iihe went out to the road, and saw Oox bleeding from the nose, and in the act of getting up off the ground. She heard prisoner remark that Cox had struck him, but as she did not see 11e P?aoaer a?ter?rds she could not say if he had a mark on him. Cox was brought back into the house, and remained there until the bleeding stopped. It was then about closing time. In cross-examination by Mr. Morgan Rees, witness said tha.t the remark to which Cox took exception was made about 8.15 o'clock, and Oox was not then in the prisoner's com- pany. They were not talking to witness at all, but Oox told prisoner to be careful. Mr. Rees: Did prisoner say that if he had said anything that was wrong he would apologise ?—Y es. And did he ask Mr. Cox to make it up? He asked him to have a drink, and Mr. Cox refused. W itness (continuing) said that Captain Meyer left the bar, but came back, and when she was talking to Mr. Cox in the passage he came out of the bar. Mr. Cox asked the captain to apologise, and the latter baid, "If I have upset the young lady I apologise. Captain Meyer and Cox then left the house together, walking side by side. Did you hear Captain Meyer shout that he had been struck?—He shouted, "He struck me nrst." Did Oox make an attempt to go at Meyer?— He was kept back by the landlord and myself. ¡ He said he would fight, and he wanted to go for" Meyer. Mr. Ilees: And he had a tap on the n<)eo? The Coroner: A tap? Something more than a tap! Witness: He got a blow. The deceased's father said that his son went to business on the day following the occurrence, and a.lso on the Friday, but Oil the Saturday he came home unwell, and did not again return to his work. Walter EmpsaLl, manager of the Bute Dook Hotel, said he knew the decea&ed as a friend and customer. On the night in question witness was in conversation with the prisoner and others, and Cox came in later. Captain Meyer was not addressing his remarks to Miss Counsell at all, but speaking to witness and the others in tha company. Captain Meyer said he would make an apology if it was called for, but deceased would not accept his apology. About an hour afterwards witness's attention was direotedto a row outside. He went out, a.nd saw Meyer bolding deceased art arm's length to prevent another blow. Detective-sergeant William Gretton said that at seven p.m. on Friday he saw Captain Meyer on board his ship, the Harold Horn, in the East Dock. He told him tha.t he had come to take him into custody on the" chargo of "killing and slaying Reuben Cox." and in reply Captain Meyer said: He struck me twice first, and I pushed him and struck him onoe." Upon being formally charged, prisoner said, "I won't say anything just now." There was a long wait for the appearance of the doctor in the case. but as the medical man did not appear the Coroner said that, as he wanted to go by train, ne would adjourn the inquefit until four o (dock on Monday, for the doctor had, probably, not had time to complete his post-mortem. I The prisoner was th?m removed in custody.

ENGINE HOUSE FATALITY I Dr. Macartney, the Dean Forest Coroner, conducted an inquiry on Saturday into the death of Sidney Arthur Beddes, which occurred at Lightmoor Colliery on Thursday. Deceased, who resided at the Paggett, Little- dean, was a fire.ma,n at Lightmoor Colliery, and it was part of his duty to oil the wind- ins engine, of which his brother. William Beddes, had charge. At 11.15 on Thursday deceased entered the engine-room, a,nd took up his stand, as usual, waiting for the engine to stop. A few seconds later his brother noticed something wrong with the engine, and, stopping it, was horrified to find Arthur lying dead on the floor. His head was terribly injuired. William Beddes. in replying to Mr. J. S. Martin, inspector of mines, said deceased, to his knowledge, had never attempted to oil the engine whilst in motion, and he could not say if he had tried to do so on that occasion. They allowed six seconds for oil- ing which was ample time. No one had com- plained on that score. There were only two places to oil. A verdict of Accidental death" was returned.

FIGHT FOR LIFE IN MID-AIR John Hutchinson, of Trenton, New Jersey, a blaster at the quarries of the county work- house, was at work on a rope ladder 150 feet in the air when he was attacked by anenor- mouse snake which had crawled out of a rock fissure. Below nearly a hundred workmen and others watched the conflict. Hutchinson had a stick of dynamite in his free hand; he could not drop the dynamite because of the people at the quarry's bottom. As quickly as he dared on the swinging ladder, he put the dynamite in his coat pocket and drew from it a small steel drill. With this he struck at the snake, which, hissing fiercely, was already close to his bead. The ladder swung under his act on and the blow missed. The snake struck in his turn, but as quickly Hutchinson struck again. He hit the snake's head, dazing it. Again and again the drill descended, until the snake, slowly uncoiling from the rope, fell dead in the pit below. The snake was five feet seven and three-quarter inches long.

I SAID SHE FELL INTO WINDOW I Elizabeth Pugh (30) posed to-day before the Cardiff macgistrates (Messrs. Ebenezer Beavan and Enoch James). She was charged with diisorderliness and using obscene language in Herbert-street on September 7. There was a further charge of breaking a pane of embossed plate-glass, value 30s., in the window of the West Dock Hotel, the property of Sidney Williams. Prisoner, it was alleged, was put outside because she had had enough, a.nd then she broke the window with a stone. Prisoner's defence was tha,t having had a drop of drink, she fell into the window.—Fined 10s with costs and damages, or 21 days.

I FELL THROUGH A ROOF. I A slater, named Howarth, was repairing the roof of a chemical works on Saturday morning art, Radcliffe, when, he fell through into a tank of boiling liquor. He was terribly scalded, and died at the Bury Infir- mary on Sunday morning.

Walked in the Waterl GRANGETOWN WOMAN'S SUICIDE I Elizabeth Hodges, aged 43, of 35, Mon- mouth-street, Cardiff, was seen to delibe- rately walk into the River Taff at the portion known as the Merches-embankmcnt, Grangetown, on Saturday evening, about six o'clock. A man named John Andrews, of Li, Monmouth-street, waded into the water waist deep, and, after groping about for some time, found the body at the bed of the river, and brought it to bank. The body was afterwards conveyed to the mortuary.

I G B.S. Lost on Mountain -—— I- FABIANS DISTRACTED George Bernard Shaw, Fabian and Socialist, has been lost on the Welsh mountains since yesterday morning. Two hundred men were out searching the locality all night. He left home yesterday, accompanied by his coliie dog, to visit the Soman steps, situated in a mountainous part of Merio- nethshire. The members of the Penrailt Fabian School were to follow him and meet at an appointed place. Wearied by waiting, George Bernard ,s.h.a.w must have g-one on, as his card hao been found prinaed to a. tree in a dangerous spot on the mountain-sidefi with the words, "I have gone on; please follow." It is surmised he has either lost his way or has met with, an accident. The members of the Fa,bian Society are quite distraughted at the disappearance of their leader, and it is hoped that he will soon be found or turn up.

ABDURMAN'S MONEY I Bute-street Meeting and Sequel Willia-m Barry, 22, was charged a.t Cardiff to-day with stealing Li 2s. 6d. from the person of "one Abduramari" at the East Wharf on Sun-day night. There was also a, charge of pereonal violence. Abduraman is a Mahometan, and the evidence, which was given in the Mall-ay language, was interpreted by a. short, curly- haired youth, whose locks and countenance were darker than tthose of Abduiraman, whose features were more of the copper-coloured style off beauty. The process of swearing in on the Koran occupied some time, as it took the officers of the court some little time to explain the formula. And those preliminaries over, it was difficult to understand chat was said, and, therefore, to gather what had transpired. It was elicited that prosecutor was a "bo&sun," and that at nine or on Sunday night he fell in with two girls in Bute-street—one in a short frock and Tam- a-shanter hat, and the other wearing1 a long white apron—and they all repaired to the East Wharf. In that vicinity prisoner came up and asked for 6d; then he asked for more, and the son of the prophet, being afraid, handed him 2s. 6d. Then, as alleged, Barry took the rest of the money, and struok him on the head a.nd left eye. At five minutes past eleven prosecutor complained in Bute- street to Police-constable Victor Chappell, and the latter at three o'clock arrested the prisoner, who had gone to bed in Dorset- street, and was discovered soundly asleep. He said he knew nothing about it. Two shillings and sixpence in silver was found, however, in his possession, and, although he reached home at 10.30, he was sent for trial to the assizes.

BOARDS OF GUARDIANS. I MERTHYR. I THE INCREASING EDUCATION RATE. I The Merthyr Board of Guardians on Satur- day passed a resolution giving consent to making additions to the infirmary, for the purpose of providing for children, at a cost not exceeding L1,900. It was decided, upon the proposition of Mrs. Richards, to cal-I the attention of the Local Government Board to the desLMbility of establishing homes for imbeciles, with the new of relieving the present undue pressure on the accommodation of lunatic asylums and workhouses. Mr. David Evans (Merthyr) submitted a resolution protesting against the ever- increasing education rate as a most unfair burrden on the innid amd other ratable hereditaments in rural and other districts, and exng an opinion that the whole oost should 00 borrowed out of the rIDI>eTiall Exob?ue<r.

Morocco Armistice 1 GENERAL DRUDE IMPOSES CONDITIONS A "Times" (second edition) telegram from I Oasa Blanca states that, according to further news, a severe blow was struck at the Arabs on the 3rd inst. A meossage has been received from Maizi, an influential Arab of Mazagan now at Taddert, nine miles off, asking General Drude to cease hostilities, and to receive a deputation of the tribes to arrange peace. A Central News message says that the general consented to open peace negotiations ion condition that the heads of the tribes in person came in, and that the persons guilty of the murders at Casa Blanca were surren- dered for execution. Meanwhile he would grant a forty-eight hours' truce. General Drude is reported to have beem given an absolutely free ha.nd in dealing with the situation in Morocco, eo an early advance on Taddert is expected. Further reports confirm the rumours as to the heavy losses suffered by the Moors in ,the fighting on Tuesday. Kvc ka-ids, includ- ing MDakra, are stated to have been killed. In one small circle fourteen dead or wounded horses were counted, a fact which testifies to the terrible severity of the French artillery fire. The guns fired over 6D rounds apiece.

MAN'S ACID BATH I A well-known music-hall artist. Harry Han- son, ha.s jusit had a terrible experience which will necessitate a long stay in the hospital. He arrived in Chicago from Wisconsin, where he had been travelling with a circus, and hid attention was attracted by two well- dressed men, who spoke to him, and asked him into a public-house. I noticed that some men looked at us in a strange manner." said the singer to a police inspector, who visited him in the hoo. pital; "but I paid no attention to them. They asked me to come down to the basement, where we could talk in greater comfort. I was seized from behind and my coat stripped from my back. I could feel the thieves taking things out of my trousers pockets, and attempted to resist. Then I was dragged over the floor for a few feet and forced to stand still. Then the floor gave way beneath my feet, and I fell into a vat of acid in the cellar. The pain was terrible and I screamed. I waf pulled out of the vat by the men, and thrown into the street, with my hat and coat gone. I was in terrible pain, and in a few hours, during which I wandered about like a crazy man, my clothes began to fail off." The police are searching for the thieves.

DEATH OF A BISHOP. I The Rev. Ernest Roland Wtiberforce (the I Bishop of Chichester) passed peacefully away at 6.10 this morning at Bembridge, Isle of Wight. The late bishop was 67 years of age, was a son of the Rev. Samuel Wilberforce (Bishop of Winchester). His lordship was married twice. He was 4educated at Harrow and Exeter College, Oxford. He held several positions in the Church, namely: —Ourate of Cuddesden, 1864-66; vicar of Middleton Stoney, Oxfordshire, 1866-69; Sub-Almoner to the Queen, 1871-62; vicar of Seaforth, Liverpool, 1873-78; canon residentiary of Winchester, 1876-62; and Bishop of Newcastle, 1882-95.

DUEL LASTS 31 4 HOURS I A remarkable duel was fought at Naples on Saturday. It arose out of a quarrel between two Neapolitan aristocrats, to settle which a duel was arranged. When, how- ever, the combatants were facing each other, sword in hand, a reconciliation was effected. Thon a fresh dispute arose between Signor San Malato, one of the principals, a noted fencer, and Signer Basilone, one of the seconds, with the result that a second duel was arranged between them, to continue until one of them was incapacitated. The weapons were to be pistols. Both parties, though famed as fencers, proved very bad shots, for at 65ft. distance 41 shots were exchanged without the shedding off blood. At the 42nd shot, however, Sam Malato grazed his opponent s cheek, making a slight abrasion. The seconds then intervened, honour was declared satisfied, and the duellists em- braced each other amid, the report says, a touohing scene. Both combatants were congratulated upon their coolness under this hail of bullets. The affair lasted exactly three hours and a half.

A MIDNIGHT ADVENTURE I Dressed in the height of fashion, a well- developed young woman, giving the name of May Mack, was charged at Bow-street Polioe- court with stealing money from the person of Mr. Raymond Giliman. The prisoner stoutly denied that she had stolen any money, and at the station it was found that she bad only about ls. 6d. in her possession. Mr. Raymond Gillman said that at about one o'clock in the morning the prisoner accosted him outside the Garrick Theatre and asked him to accompany her to her house, which was somewhere in the Lam- beth Palace-road. He declined, and she afterwards told him a pitiful story, and appealed to him for some assistance. He told her that he could not give her anything, and after he had finished talking to her he missed some money from his pocket and gave her into custody. The prisoner denied having stolen the money, and the magistrate, remarking that the evidence against her was not sufficient, ordered her discharge.

DEAR CONIES. Albert Talbot, 41, labourer, Cardiff, was before the LAandaff Bench thie morning charged with trespassing on Itand belonging to Mrs. Oory in search of conies.

New Cunarders Start. I THE RUN TO QU€ £ »ST0W« At 6.30 o'clook on Saturday evening the Cunard liner Lucania left Liverpool for America, followed two hours and a half later by the Lusitania, the great new vessel with which it is hoped to win back the Atlantic record from Germany. It will not be merely a test of speed, but a contest between two types of engines-the reciprocating and the turbine. While it is officially denied that the Lucania and Lusitania will race across the Atlantic, there is little doubt felt in other quarters that it is a real test of sveed. Everywhere confidence is felt that in the new vessel Great Britain haa the fastest liner that float6. The occasion made a Tecord day for the Cunard Company. The departure of the two leviathans meant dealing with over 4,000 pas- sengers—a thing which no Atlantic company had ever before attempted at Liverpool in one day. Great crowds watohed the steamers all day, but as the time for the departure of the newest of the leviathans drew near the excitement grew greater and greater, and the crowds on the stage and along the I river wall increased until every spot from which a view of the veeeel could be gained was occupied. CHEERS PROM THOUSANDS. I At half-past eight the new record-breaker gradually drew away from the stage. So carefully was she handled, however, that fully half an hour elapsed from the time that the ropes were cast off until she was clear. Amid cheers from thousands of throats. the hooting of syrens and fog-horns, and the shrill scream of steam whistles, the noble ship glided majestically down the river on her maiden trip, a trip that it is fondly hoped and believed will result in the supre- macy of the Atlantic ooming back once more to Great Britain. A Queenstown telegram of Sunday stated that the departure of the Lusitania was timed from Daunt's Rock Lightship at 12.10 noon, while the Luoania left at 11-55 a.m.—a start of only 35 minutes. The passages of both ships from the Mereey to Queenstown were uneventful. Tne Lucania, a.fter leaving the landing-stage at 4.55 p.m., oalli" to an anchorage, and crossed the bar at 7.30 p.m.; whidc the Lasiitania left the stage at 9.35, proceeded stra-ight to sea, and crossed, the bar at 937. Fog wae experienced off and on. The Lucania was slowed down for two hours, the Lusitania getting abreast of her at 4.30 on Sunday morning in the vicinity of the Tuskar Book, and leading hear to Queenstown, anchoring off Roche's Point at 9.20. The Lucania arrived fifteen minutes later. The Lusitania's speed from the Mersey entrance to Queenstown was a knots. There was no attempt to drive her turbines at full. speed. Our Liverpool ooiprespoodent, wiring late on Sunday night, reports thaa tlhle Ouaaiaird Lino received word that the Lusitania had covered the 60 knots separating Danmt's Rock from the Eaetnet by 3.25 p.m. Greenwich mean time. At that hour there was no message from the Lucania, but Bubse"eyltAv a Maroonigram came to hand reporting the Lucania's ix>sition as 95 miles west of the Fastnet at 8.30 p.m. Calculating the respective speeds of the two vessels, it is estimated that the Lusitania wowld probably then be about twelve to fifteen knots alhead, and, doubtless, steaming westward at a graxluaHy inoreew-ing rate. CUNARDERS' PROGRESS. A Lloyd's Browhea.d message to-day reports as follows:—The steamer Lusitania, Liver- pool for New York, signalled here two a.m. to-day by wireless telegraphy. Distance not ascertained. The steamer L/ucaniia, Liver. pool for New York, signalled 225 miles west of here three a.m. to-day-

Miners' Demonstration MR. STANTON AND SMALL COAL QUESTION. The annual demonstration of the Aberdare District of the Miners' Federation was held ,to-day at the Market-hall. Aberdare. The audience was the largest ever seen on an occasion of the kind in the district. The principal speakers were the Rev. W. A. Edwards, rector of Llangan, Mr. W. E. Mor- gan, miners' agent, Swansea, Mr. C. B. Stanton, Aberdare, and Mr. Illtyd Morgan, secretary of the Aberdare branch of the Miners' Federation. The chair was occupied by Mr. M. J. Morgan, G-lyn Neath. Mr. Stanton moved the usual omnibus resolution. He said no one could find fault with its terms. The workmen had not obtained all they desired, but he (the speaker) hati no doubt that continued devotion and loyalty to the Miners' Federation would mean the conferment upon them of further im- provements. With regard to the question of small coal, it was a mineral in respect of which the laws of the country declared that there should be payment. When the present conciliation agreement was made the men's leaders had no alternative but to waive the matter of payment for small coal. If they had persisted in their demand, they would have had to face the inevitable a strike. When the time, however, came for the renewal of the present agreement, he (Mr. Stanton) would ask the miners of the whole coalfield to bring pressure to bear upon t-he respective leaders to make it their absolutely imperative duty to advocate pay- ment for small coal, the price of which had gone up 300 per cent. Surely the employers could afford to give something out of this huge profit. He felt confident that if they were determined t-h-eir action would not be in vain. On the other hand, if their action proved fruitless, then he (Mr. Stanton) would advise them to oonae out and say Strike. The paymourt for small coal would mean another laurel to the credit of the Federa- tion.

RACE RIOTS IN VANCOUVERI Japanese Shops Looted. I Serious race rioting has occurred at Vancouver (British Columbia.). On Saturday the white population drove about 2,000 Chinese from their quarters, and subsequently wrecked and looted their houses, aoing damage to the extent of many thousands of dollars. For a long time the police were quite powerless to stop the rioting, but later were able to frustrate an attempt by the mob to destroy the Japanese quarter. The expelled Chinamen have sought refuge outside the city, a-nd are in a pitiable con- dition of destitution. On Sunday the rioting was resumed, and several Japanese shops were looted and their inhabitants maltreated and driven out of the city. The JLapanese residents afterward, how- ever, banded together and defended them- selves with great vigour. Several people we're badly hurt on both sides. A resumption of the rioting to-day is feared.

ANTWERP "LACKLEGS" I Address by a Cardiff Revivalist I Sunday passed off fairly quietly in Antwerp. The dockers received their strike pay, and also their rations of bread and potatoes. Having haTlded over the food to their wives the men betook themselves to the races near Hoboken. Meanwhile the blacklegs," who were housed in the depot ships, spent a restful day at home. Some of the soldiers guarding the quay suggested a. football match to pass the time, but the strikebreakers refused, because it was Sunday. On one depot ship is a, Welshman who won fame down Cardiff wa.y as a Revivalist preacher. Yesterday he held forth to his fellows on Sabbatih desecra- tion, and said strong things about Antwerp's Sunday pleasure-seekers.

FIGHT FOR CHAMPIONSHIP LtANCASHMTE SECONDS V. GLAMORGAN. I Favoured by glorious summer weather, the • | il.30 final game in the Minor Counties' Championship oould not have been played under brighter conditions. The PlaTlng area on the Cardiff Arms Part looked Ln perfect order, and presented as pretty a. picture as one could wish to see while the gaane we- in progress. Glamorgan, made only one chancre in the team which defeated Surrey Seconds in the semi-final, W. H. train playing his first game of the season, and taking the L-laloe of I. Douglas Smith. Lancashire made several changes in the side which won the seBLLi-fdal, the team being at full strength on that account. J-'A-NCAiSHIF.E WIN THE TOSS. ■c-iiTing won the toes, T. Ainscough, the I visiting team's skipper, put in A. Hartley and Heap, the bowling being fjharea by Cretoer and N azh. Only 11 runs had been made, when Hartley was well taken at point by Gibson, off Creber. Harrison joined Heap, and runs came a.t a fair pa, but Harrison wae very lucky, being given no fewer than three lives. He had contributed 19 to the total. Radaliffe (G.) was next man in, but be only JP.3G stayed, to make a single, wnen ne was out lbw to Nash, With three wickets down for 59. Glamorgan not doing- at all badly. This aouole disaster induced more caution on the part of the Lancashire batsmen, and the of run-getting slowed down appreciably. At 69 Preedy was brought on instead of Creber at the racquet court end, and the pace of run-getting became even slower. There was no doubt about the quality of Heap's batting, however; and, when he com- pleted his half-century in 100 minutes with a pretty gliding stroke to the leg off Nash, he was heartily applauded. A beautiful cut to the boundary off Preedy was also a remark- ably fine stroke. Gradually the score rose, and at one o'clock the century was well in sight. There was no getting Heap to take risks, but let a loose one come along and it meant runs for the Lancastrians. Often he brought the ball round to leg when it seemed impossiifble to do so. His batting was ahso- 1.15 lutely first-class without question, I a¥ tb? spectators conid im?gmc iy anxiety of the Glamorgan men to see him tramping pavilion wards. Heap it was who sent up the 100 with a lovely drive to the off-boundary off Nash. At 102 Percy Morris was brought on instead of Nash, and Creber went on again at the other end. Heap punishing him rather severely. However, his disposition to hit out at the tempting bowl- ing of the, Swansea man brought about his downfall, for he missed a curly one. and his baals were shifted. In his contribution of 81 Heap hdt eleven 4s. W. Tyldesfley, brother of the famous "J. T. joined HigBon, who was at once given a life. J. H. Brain missing a catch that came to him very quickly in the slips off Percy Morris's trundling. Lunch was taken ait 1.30 instead of two o'clock, as had been previously arranged, and the score then stood a.t 118 for four wickets. Score: I LANCASHIRE SECONDS.

SCOTCH RAILWAY ECONOMY. I The Caledonian Railway Company on Saturday issued the following circular* to its shaxeholders. The direotora have been in negotiation with the boards of the two principal Scot-ch railway companies with a view to arrange- mente to reduce train and steamboat eer- vioes and to effect economies. Certain economies have already been arranged for, and others are still under consideration. Before each negotdstiong3 can be concluded careful examination of many complicated details is necessary, which takes time, but the directors are hopeful that the efforts to oome to a complete understanding with the CJher two companies will be successful. The intervention of a third party, the share- holders' association, however well meant, is.. faoe of the many present difficulties of raitawTB, including possible labour U-imble4 to be pacuoularly deprooa.ted.

In a Dense Fog 1 SCHOONER StmK OFF LUNDY The sohoome r Spitfire, from Pont l'Abbe to Bristol, was ran down off liundy yesterday by the steamship Sandhurst, outward bound from Cardiff, with coal. The schooner sank almost immediately. The crew were landed at Swansea to-day. The Spitfire belongs to Messrs. Allen and Co., potato merchants, of Swanaea, and is of 113 toms burden. In an interview, Captain Bond, her master, said, "We were proceeding up channel about three a.m. on Sunday, when a dense fog came on. The steamer's hooters and eyrene were to be heard all around us. We did not see the steamer, but heard her hotter. There was no time to be lost ,and we got into our boats and pulled to the steamer, which stood by until a tug came along and brought us into Swaneea. "Did you save anything at all?" "Nothing," was the reply. One sailor and the ship's boy were below when the crash came. The side of the ship was stove in to within a foot of where the sailor was lying in his bunk. The ship's boy, who was asleep, was awakened by the rush of water in his bunk. One member of the crew stated that the boy practically floated up on deck. The Sandhurst is a steamer of about 6,0C0 tons, and the force of the impact (the "bpi t- fire" being struck on the bows) was such that the schooner forged away from thg Sandhurst, and began to fill and sank.
