FOR COAL SETTLEMENT.,
FOR COAL SETTLEMENT. To day's Vital Issues EFFORTS TO AVOID STOPPAGE "Deoide one way or the other. Decide for peace, if possible; but decide, anyway. If there must be a strike, let it come at once; if a settlement, eo much the better, but let that be at once. End our uncertainty. Let us know where we sta.nd." This is the burden of the cry that goes up from every merchant and trader in every part of the South Wades coalfield. People are tired of the protracted negotiations for a new wage agreement for the miners, and of t,he uncertainty that is killing trade, keep- ing thousands of men out of employment, and frightening probable customers away. This state of things has existed for many months past. It has caused so much lose and anxiety that traders have now beoome con- vinced that if a settlement cannot be arrived at it would be better for the parties to go to war and iight out their differences with idle collieries. If there must be a strike, the sooner it comes and is over the better. There are strong hopes that such a calajni- tous thing a-3 a stoppage will be avoided. but the uncertainty is in itself disastrous, and should be put an end to as soon as possible. So acute is the situation, in faot. that employers whose concerns are running after a fashion have decided that this week's pay- day shall be to-day, because, they say, it is of no use bringing the men in on Saturday, seeing there is no work for them to do. The leading merchants and traders of Car- diff have been considering the position very carefully, and have decided to bring pressure to bear upon the Coal Conciliation Board. A meeting will be held this morning at the offices of the Barry Graving Dock Company to appoint a deputation to wait upon the board to place the exact position before the conciliators. The deputation will appeal to the board to deoide one way or the other, and to put an end to the disastrous state of uncertainty that now prevails. The serious results of the uncertainty as to whether a. strike will take place at the end of the month have been brought home to the general public of South Wa.les in the present week in a manner which they will long remember. Only nine months ago they had to go through a. similar experience, though, perhaps, the hardships were not than quite to much felt. A month or so ago Mr. T. E. Morel, the newly-appointed chairman of' the Cardiff Shipowners' Association, announood publicly that shipowners were diverting all the steamers possible from South Wales because of the difficult situation. The effect of this .has been to hamper trade iu every way, and while shippers have had to pay higher freights, there has been a very con- siderable curtailment of employment. March is usually a busy month at the dry docks, the work at which constitutes one of the chief industries in the Bristol Channel, but this month has been particularly slack, and at present firms which can dry dock a dozen or more vessels at the same time have only a couple in hand. Something like two- thirds of the men belonging to various skilled and unskilled labour organisations connected with this industry are either idle or working ehort time, and, seeing that the prospects for April, for which month the dry docks have scarcely any stems, are so unpromising, the dry dock owners have been forced, how- ever reluctantly, to consider the desirability of paying off all the men not likely to be required and practically closing the yards. They can hardly be blamed for such a step, because to keep the men going at a time when no work is coming in to pay wagc-- only means the exhaustion of ca-pital and curtailment of competitive power in the future. When faced with such a situation, to neglect to oonsarve their resources would 7mean a short way to commercial suicide. What applies to the dry docks as one of our largest industries also affects the numer- ous engineering and other trades of the dis- trict. Complaints come from the iron and I 8teeJ works that orders are Mng withheld, thus adding to the numbers of the unem- ployed. While orders for coal are going to Germany and America, the uncertainty is flitting very hard the whole community, either directly or indirectly. -Much of the tra.de that has been diverted has been lost altogether, and represents hundreds of thou- sands of pounds less in wages. The public as a whole are hit very hard in another way. Wholesale traders, who ftmember only too well the disastrous results of the last great struggle of 1898, have taken steps to ourtail credit to retail traders, who have been given the alternative of finding Oa-sfh for their requirements. Many retail traders have in consequence had to let stocks run low, and buy from hand to mouth, ill this means paying .more dearly for the neces- saries of life, and housewives find the coat of rilea-t, provisions, &c., all advancing. In Car- diff small cottagers, through the action of the city council in reducing the rebates on the compounding of rates, find the rents ateo Mvanced. The labouring classes, therefore, have less wagee-iii some cases none at all- <fearer food, and higher rent to face. A11 classes of the community suffer more or less seriously. The commercial travellers have been severely hit, especially those in the drapery, hardware, and fancy trades, Small shopkeepers able to pay cash refusing to lay in heavy stocks of goods which may lie on their hands for months, while these Ho cannot pay cash have to take little at higher prices beoause the wholesale dealer ses long credit. Furniture dealers and even clergymen and ttestrars drawing fees in respect of Carriages also complain of the bad times, )oung couples delaying their embarkation 013,0n the uncertain seas of matrimony until their prospects are brighter. When such disasters have arisen from a Kate of uncertainty, those who do not tsmember the results of the coal strike of 898 may in a measure estimate what is "fcfore them. If the uncertainty continues patters will grow worse and worse. While it is hoped that a strike will be averted. tnany people even now are beginning to wish tOr a strike as the only means of bringing Ilbout a termination of the unoertainty. "A Obttlement straight away or an open fight tOl a finish is the call—no suspending of 140tioes or other delay.

So acute is the situation that employers whose concerns are running after a fashion have decided that this week's pay-day shall be to-day, because, they say, it is of no use bringing the men in on Saturday, seeing there is no work for them to do.
Compromise in the Air I -
Compromise in the Air I TO-DAY'S COAL TRADE CONFERENCE M.F.G.B. DELEGATES LEND A HAND Abnormal Places: New Proposals I To-day's meeting of the South Wales CoaJ Trade Conciliation. Board will be one of the most momentous in its history. The repre- sentatives of the owners, on the one hand, and the men's leaders, on the other, have not met in joint conference for three weeks, but there have been sectional meetings during that time, including the annual meeting of the Ooalowners' Association at Cardiff and a. national conference of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain in London. But, exbePt for the request that to-day's meeting of the joint board should be convened, no oommaunication of any kind has passed between Mr. W. Gascoyne Dal iel, the eec- retary of the Coalowners' Association, end Mr. Thomas Richards, M.P., the secretary of the South Wales Miners' Federation. Less than a fortnight remains in which to come to a. settlement, the three months' notice given by the workmen to terminate the piresent agreement expiring on the 31st inst. Seeing that nothing has been done at the several meetings of the Conciliation Board held during the past two and a half months, it is only too obvious that a tremendous lot of work remains to be dome, in the framing of a new agreement, in the next couple of weeks Granted that both sides will enter into the negotiations in a conciliatory spirit, the task is not one so formidable that it cajinot be accomplished, and, happily, there are indications of a strong mutual desire to do everything possible to avoid the calamity of a general stoppage. For the first time since negotiations were opened, a.t the beginning of the year, the men's leaders have virtually agreed upon what proposals they will put forward in regard to the three vital issues;—Minimum and equivalent selling price, abnormal places payments, amd payment for small ooal. These proposals were considered at a meeting of the council of the South Wales Miners' Federation on Thursday, and a final decision wus deferred till this (Friday) morn- ing, when the workmen's repreeeautativee will again meet prior to the meeting of the Con- ciliation Board. They were assisted in their deliberations on Thursday, and will be again to-day, by Mr. Enoch Edwards, M.P., Mr. Robert Smillie, and Mr. Thomas Ash ton, who have come down to Cardiff as a deputation from the Miners' Federation of Groat Britain. These three gentlemen will be permitted to attend the joint meeting of the Conciliation Board to-day. Unfortumately, MT. F. L. Da.-vis has not recovered sufficiently from has long and severe illness to attend and preside over the owners' side of the board. It is to be feared also that Mr. W. Abraham, M.P.. will not be well enough to take has aociistomed place as che-irnfun over the workmen's side. Until negotiations have begun in real earnest it is premature and imprudent to talk of compromise. For the present it is only known that both the owners and the men's leaders are influenced by the intensity of feeling which pervades the whole commu- nity of South Wales that everything should be done to prevent the red ruin of a. strike. We have the very best authority for stating that a scheme has been devised which will probably meet with the approval of the two sides in regard to the abnormal places diffi- culty, and this will help materially in the solution of the other two problems relative to the minimum and the equivalent selling prioe and the payment for email coaL MINERS' LEADERS MEET I Deputation from National Federation I An important meeting of the oouncil of the South Wales Miners' Federation was held at the Engineers' Institute, Cardiif, on Thurs- aay. Mr. W. Brace, M.P., presided in the absence of Mr. W. Abraham, M.P.. who is indisposed. Messrs. Enoch Edwards, M.P. (president) Robert Smillie (vice-president), and Thomas Ashton (secretary) attended as a deputation from the Miners Federation of Great Britain, and discussed with the members of the coun- cil the present deadlock in the negotiations with the employers for a settlement of the Conciliation Board agreement, attention being given chiefly to the three m&in ques tions at issue, viz., minimum and equivalent selling price, abnormal places, and payment for small coal. Preparations were made for meeting the owners to-day with the object of re-opening negotiations on those three points, and pro- ljosals of a definite chaxact-er will be made by the workmen's representatives. It will be recollected that negotiations were broken off because neither side was able to recede from'the positions respectively assumed on the three critical points named above. Since then there has been a national conference of the men's leaders, and it hao been mooted-that, possibly, mutual conces- sions on other points may ease off the strain and pave the way to an agreement. The official report of yesterday's conference added nothing to the information given above, but stated that the meeting with the owners to-d'ay is with the object of further negotiating on the three points of the mini- mum and its equivalent, abnormal places, and small coal payment No Concessions by the Men I With regard to the report published that the men s representatives had decided to make concessions, one of our representatives interviewed Mr. Tom Richards, M.P., on Thursday evening. Mr. Richards stated dis- tinctly and amphati<ajly: -"There id no foundation for the report that the men are prepared to make concessions, and you con contradict it in my name. No one knows what will be done unrtil we mfeet the owners at the Conciliation Board meeting." M mers' Eight Hours Act I Mr. FELL (U.. Yarmouth) aaked in the House of Commons on Thursday if, having regard to the effect of the Ooal Mines (Eight Hours) Act in the North of England, the Government proposed to introduce a Bill to repeal that Act. so far as it related to the counties of Northumberland and Durham. Mr. CHURCHILL; The answer is in the negative.
!COLLIERY MACHINERYI
COLLIERY MACHINERY The excellent idea of Sir W. T. Lewis, Bart., in offering prizes annually for pampers relat- ing to colliery work has borne good fruit since the project ww started in 1895, sjmI on Thursday mining engineers from all parts of Wake attended to diacuss the winning papers for 1909, too subject of which wae "General Lay-out and Equipment of a Complete Set of Engineering Shops for a Modern Oo4Ji»ry with an Output of About 2.000 tons per day." Mr. W. Trinrner (Newport) is the winner of the first prize, and Mr. C. W. Jordan, A.H.LM.E., took second honours. The presi- dent, Mr. W. D. Wight, saad that his medal for the present term had been awarded by tihe council to Mr. Hugh Bramwell (Ponty- pridxi) for his p&per on The Re4inking and Re-equipment of the Maritime Collieries of the Great Western Colliery CompaJiy." Some severe criticism was offered in the adjourned discussion of the paper "Machine Mining, with Special Reference to South Wales, read by Mr. Sam Mavor, F.R.G.S., M.I.E.E. Mr. BuUihirwon (Lcrwfotfeirtihy'r Ooftxerr) aaid that the South Wales collier stuck to old customs far more than other colliers, and tthe hostility to the machine was as i great now as when he first start-ed using it.

rNegligence Alleged 0.
Negligence Alleged 0. DOCTORS SUED AT THE ASSIZES The cose in which negligence was alleged against two doctors was proceeded with in tlie Civil Court at Glamorgan Assizes on Thursday, before Mr. Justice Pawfcford. The plaintiff was David Lewis, engine-driver, of Llyn-streeit, Manselton, Swansea, suing in forma pauperis, and the defendants Dr. Hubert H. Thomas and Dr. R. J. Parman. Mr. Griffith Jones was for the plaintiff, and Mr B. Pr-oisWJR!amg, K.C, amd Mr. I-vur Ifcrwen (instructed by Messrs. Hempson, London, solicitors to the Medioal Defence Union) were for the defence. It was alleged by plaintiff that when no was suffering from pleuriey his complaint was wrongly diagnosed by Dr. Parman, and that he (Lewis) suffered in health in oonse. quenoe. In answer to the Judge. counsel stated that Dr. Thomas and Dr. Farman were partners, but the contract of the Cwmfelin workmen was with Dr. Thomas only. Plaintiff, in cross-examination, denied that when Dr- ftrman saw him in the kitchen of his (witness's) house the doctor told him to go to bed and take only a lig-ht diet. Mr. B. Francis-Williams suggested that Dr. Thomas when he eall-ed at plaintiff's house on Ma.y 22. 1909, did not make an examina- tion of Lewis, but the latter affirmed that he did, and also asserted that when Dr. Thomas was leaving he spoke of Dr. Farman as "an old fool." Plaintiff stated that during his iUnees he had been accepting parish relief. Counsel asked Lewis if he had said on ome occasion that they would not take him baak at the works until hfe signed the pledge, and plaintiff replied that he did it to satisfy them. "THE WEATHER IS AGAINST HIM." Mrs. Margaret Lewis, wife of the plaintiff, said on one of the early visits of Dr. Parman she spoke to him about the pain in her hus- band's left side, and asked him if she should apply a mustard poultice. The doctor replied in the negative. On a 8U bsequerut visit, when her husband's breathing was defective, the doctor.said, "The weather is against him." She sent for Dr. Davies because she saw that her husband waa getting worse. Dr. J. D. Davies, Manselton, stated that when called to plaintiff's houee on May 20 he foozid that there was a good deal of dulness on the left side of Lewis's chest. In using the stethoscope he found that the breath sounds were absent on that side, and there were symptoms of the presence of fluid. Witness ascertained Lewis's family history, which was good. HM temperature was 105 5. The heart was considerably displaced, and he complained of having lost neeh. The pulse Was 104. Witness diagnosed pleurisy, with effusion. He extracted three whisky bottles of fluid, and Lewis's breath was very IIhuoh relieved. Altogether he extracted fluid on seven occasions. Mr. Griffith Jones: Having regard to the state in which you found him on your finst exajnination, was it at all proper that he should go out? Witness: WeJl, I should not have sent him out myself. The Judge pressed for a more definite answer, and Dr. Davies said it was quite wrong to send a man out with a temperature Oi 103.5, whether he had pleurisy or not. Mr. B. Prancis-Williams asked witness if his bili of had been sent in to Lewis for the porpoees of that action, but this Dr. Dairies strongly denied. Counsel: Is it your auction P Witness: In what way do yon meø.n? In any way?-No, not in any way. Have you urged it on?—Not in any way. Have you found any money?—Not a penny Dr. Davies said that Dr. Thomas had brought a case against him for libel, and was awarded jEaO damages. He had notsinee spoken to Dr. Thomas. THE DHFENOE. mr. B. in addreesinir the jUTy for the defence, said there was no doubt a<&ou>t the feeling Dr. Daivies entertained towards his clients. Counsel suggested that he was ait the bottom of this maitter, and that there would never have been any suggestion of want 0If skill on the part of Dr. Parman if it had not been for this feeling on the part of Dr. Davies against Dr. Thomas. Dr. Robert James P-aaman, one of the defendants, said he was first called to see Lewifi on May 11, and did not see him on May 6 as stated. Witness formed the opinion that he was suffering from influenza, which was prevalent in Swansea at the time, and he told him to go to bed and feed on "slope." The next day he saw. Lewis in bed, and after examining him with the stethoscope came to the conclusion that his first opinion woe correct. Witness repudiated most of the statements of the plaintiff. The Judge: Supposing it was trne that Dr. Daviec had been sent for by them oottld he do anything but go?—No, my lord; but I think I might have been notified before the operation, instead of afterwards. Witness said he diagnosed influenza, and had no reason to suspect pleurisy. Dr. E. F. Lancaster, Dr. T. D. Griffiths, Dr. F.Iswo,rth, and Dr. W. F. Brook, all of Swan- sea, wero oalled for the defence and stated that if the evidenoe given by Dr. Parman was correct, then proper care had been taken. Dr. Hubert Hope Thomas. oo-defendatu with Dr. Far-man, corroborated his partner's evidonoe far ^3 w?s within his know'ed?. He denied thatTvhen in Lewis's bedroom he shook his bead, .d said, "Well, ??ell, the old fool," in reference to Dr. Parman. This concluded the evidenoe. and the case was then adjourned until 10JO this (Friday) morning. TODAY'S CIVIL LIST. I Lewis v. Momas and Parman (part heard).

-An Agg-ressive Fight I
An Agg-ressive Fight I MR, REDMOhU 4 IfilSH ATTITUDE I Speaking at a, St. Patrick's Day banquet in London on Thursday Mr. John Redmond, M.P., said the Albert-hall declaration put Home Rule specifically and prominently for- ward as one of the great issues for the elec- tors to vote upon. The veto of the House of Lords was the one remaining obstacle to Home Rule. That veto was under sentence of death. He and his friends were anxious to prevent the failure of the present cam- paign against the Lords?"veto, but they would take no part in a sham battle. They demanded a straight fight, am aggressive fight, and not a Fabian policy. They would have no responsibility for a policy of valua- tion. Whether they would succeed at this moment or whether the Irish cause would have onoe more to wait he did not know. PoUcy of "No Veto, No Budget" I Mr. John Dillon, speaking at Birmingham on Thursday night, declared that Air. Red- mond spoke on bemalf of a united party and a united country. He had no doubt they could easily oome to an agreement which would enable them to support the Govern- ment on its moriits. Th-6 only means of over- coming the resistance of the Lords was by throwing on them the responsibility for the financial confusion they had Created. Once they had entered on the Constitutional struggle, it was a fatal mistake to turn aside for other business, and the Irish party, therefore, had declared for the policy of "No veto, no Budget." Si. Patrick's Banquet at Cardiff St. Fat rick s banquet at the Park Hotel, Cardiff, on Thursday night waa numerously attended, Mr. A. W. Oallaghon (president) being in the chair. The Rev. Father Hayde proposed "The Day We Celebrate."—Mr. J. T. Burke, in proposing Ireland, a. Nation," vindicated in a stirring speech the claim to nationality.—Councillor Tumbull (secretary) proposed "The Irish Parliamentary Party," remnarking that in the great political crisis before the oaunfcry Str. Redmond had proved himself to be a. statesman second to none in this country or any other. (Applause.) Spea.k- ing in support, Mr. William O'Neil expressed the view that the Irish party was the only solid party in the House of Commons.—Mr. J. M-Veach, X-P, replied in eloquent and humorous tenons. English political parties, he aaid, were all like Micawber, weating for some- thing to turn up. (Laughter.) He thought he might fairly dsa&m that amidst ail this 6on- fued and indeoislon there was one party that knew its own mind, and knew what it meant, and was determined to get it. Mr. P. B. Turn-bud-i proposed The Land We Live In," and other toasts followed. D inner at Barry Dr. P. J. O'Domneil, wbo presided at the sanraiai St. Patrick's Day dinner at Oulley'a Hotel, Barry Dock, on Thursday, in pro- posing the toast of Ireland, a Nation," said that never sinoe the time of Mr. Gladstone'* Some Rule Bill had their prospects been ao brigfrt as to-day,

ISuicide of Three Girls
I Suicide of Three Girls PLAYED CHOPIN AND DRANK POISON The continual epidemic of nonraeifaenaa, melancholia, and consequent suicide in 8t.. Petersburg is again brought into notice by the death yesterday of three girls belonging to the best social circles. Two sisters, named Kolmann, aged twenty and sixteen years, and Mile. Laarics, heiress to a fortune of £ 2$00,0C0, ended their lives yesterday. The girls met, and after one of them had had played Chopin's hrohe Funebre, the three dmaok poison together, aind very soon expired. The features of all were, even after death, an expression of con- tent and happiness. The girls left letters to say that they were tired of life. No other motive is known for their decision to seek death. Their families are in despair. Fifteen other suieddes, mostly of girls, were iPeparted yesterday. The number of people wiio have of late ended their existence with ballet and poison, simply beoaaise they were weary of life, is astonishing. Toning women and children seem particularly affected by the su-ioidal mania. In one dtay reoem/tly there were 29 ouicades, includmg sixteen women and three ahiklren, The Russian law, as it stands ait present, punishes severely attempte at suicide. But now a Bill has beem proposed by certain members of the Council of the Empire a<boIishiing these penalties, on the ground that life is an individual's private pro- perty," and that everyone should be free to; dispose of his own existence. This Bill has created much star, and haB been despribed as aymptamtatio of the "neurasthenia of the Council of the Empire."

ON LIVERPOOL. I VICTOR'S Notes and Selections I [SPtCMLLY WIRED.] LIVERPOOL, Friday. My readers will expect some expression of my views on an event of such import- ance, and yet I question its serving any, nwterial purpose, for I hesitate about even giving the prediction cuatom demande m a raoe so subject to mishaps as to frequently upset the best of chances. Of oocrae, them have been several occa- fflons m recent years when iatelligence ha« been so strong oonoeraing the proepeote of a Grand National horse liB to warra/nt some amount of confidence, but it needs to be pretty strong to counterbalance the foot that for the past ten years there have been 289 runners, and only 94 have completed the course. w yeart, finish was quite an improve- ment in ttus respect, for 19 of the 32 S8 struggled Paet the post. Cackler  ?enas greatly disappointed me, »ad increased my reln^cy to deal with the race, for I felt him to be one of the Oloist.&r, Manifesto, Drogheda, Kirklaod Md Eremon type that, barr?g accident 1 could rwmnlend M c<m6dentjy  ??Y??aJm???gocd, b?I d?t it, <?b? ? -ight be K^ «d «.ongh for ? .pp<??. Great interest centres in ? Law^nny ?Ie, and, Vite of the demand for CAUBEEN j' SP'^G, M?

JUDAS must come into the reckoning, his running last year and excellent preparation for to-day's con- test, coupled with the doubt of anything so good as Luttour ill. opposing, deznands it. Adopting my n? course ? ignoring 0 ho? chance of winning I cLider ??Pe?_. I shall complete the balf-&zen poslsibles with THE LUP-cum, whose Preparation has been one of the best of enSa He was well fancied last year, and was going well in front when he fell, to which accident the vagaries of another horse contributed. Should he escape accident hi? light weight will serve  him home ? the very front rank. The same stipulation must equally apply to JUDAS, I who may win. while JERRY M and A LBUERA will most likely prove next best. I am sorry our interests should be con- cerned in a race like the first, but we shall at least have jockeyship.

The Grand National still holds, and is likely to hold for a long time to come, its position as the premier sporting spec- tacular event of the world. Horses which have been the most brilliant fencers over other coureses have come to grief in attempting to tackle Aintree's terrible obstacles, and it is not wonderful that Manifesto and Cloister, who each bore 12st. 71b. to victory, have rendered them- selves for ever famous.

FROM THE "WESTERN MAIL.'I
FROM THE "WESTERN MAIL.' I The Prince of Wales graced the proceedings at Aintree with his presenoe, although his boat and hostess, the Earl and Qounteas of Derby, were absent owing to the death of the Eari of Latibom. The sport was decidedly interesting, and Danny Maher, who it was thought would not ride much this season, was heartily congratulated on steering three winners. The Oup, whiob, however, ia not so popular as it used to be, attracted a fair field to the poet. Rathlea was favourite, and. leading all the way, won in a. canter Twenty-seven horses are expected to go to the poet for the Grand National to-day, a field which is well up to the average in point of numbers. Apart from the top weight- Jerry M.class i8 not very conspicuous; indeed, the field may justly be described, as a very mediocre one.

Jerry M-. in endeavouring to carry litet. 71b. to victory, ie attempting to equal the i-eoords of Manifesto and Cloister, the only two horses so far to accomplish the feat.

Mid-Glamorgan Fight
Mid-Glamorgan Fight UNIOMST-LiB^BAL ALLIANCE On the motion of the Master of Elibank in the House of Commons on Thursday, a writ was ordered to be issued for the elec- tion ol a member for Jijd-Glamorgen, in the room of Sir 8. T. Evans, who has accepted the ollloe of President of the Probate, Davoroe. and Admiralty Division. A private meeting of the sub-committee ol the executive of the Mid-Glamorgan Conser- vative Association was held at Aberavon on Thursday night, when the question of run- ning a, Unionist candidate waa discussed. The general opinion was that a candidate should not be brought out, inasmuch as Mr. Gibbin bad been selected as Liberal candi- date for the division, and as it was desired to defeat the Socialists at aJl ooste, it was thought that any opposition from he Unionist ranks would be fatal to the cause. Though nothing definite could be aecer- tain-ed, it can be accepted that this will be the most probable line of action, and thitt such a ooorse will be recommended to the full oommlttee, which meets to-roorrow (Saturday;. In any event, the Liberals are determined to fight, and will not hear of withdrawal. Mr. F. W. Gibbin, their candidate, has put hie hand to the plough, and whatever pressure may ema,nate from headquarters, it is understood he and his supporters are determined to carry out the campaign to the end. The Liberals of the division bitterly resent what they desoribe as the high-handed policy of officialdom, which behind their backs sought to make a present of the seat to Socialism. Quite a number of them were at Ne&th on Thursday, 4,nd all expressed the hope that the Conservatives would not bring out a candidate, so that they might have a fair and square light with Socialism. Another Honour for Sir S. T Evans The King has been pleased to direct that Sir Samaiel Evans be sworn of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council on his being appointed &6 President of the Probate. Divorce, and Admiralty Division of the High Court of Justice. The Kine has farther been pleased to con- fer the honour of knighthood upon Mr. Holms Isaacs, K.C., M.P., Solicitor-General. 3ince the Government has been in power Sir Samuel Evans has been made recorder of Swansea, Solicitor-General, a, knight, Presi- dent of the Divorce Court, and a Privy Ooaiuullor. The Walsh CJhLb in London has decided to invite 8iT 8. T. Xtaua* to b&tho duett aa the gleet ohib boose
