ITHE TINPLATE TRADE.
THE TINPLATE TRADE. FURTHER TROUBLE ANTICIPATED. "ONLY A TEMPORARY TRUCE." A Press representative had an interview on Saturday with a gentleman who has been promin- ently identified with the Welsh tinplate trade for many years. Asked what was the present position of the trade, he expressed his opinion that a truoe was declared some time ago, when the masters Conceded the 1874 list, but this was only a tempo- rary truce. "It is all very well," he continued, to quote ruling prices, but to get orders at those Prices is quite another matter. The men were conceded the 1874 list on the express condition that they would oo-oparata with the view of bring- ing a bout uniformity in the wage-rate, but what has been done in the way of redeeming that under- taking? Absolutlely nothing. Now that they 11OLve, secured the full standard of wages the men forget their obligations, and are too well satisfied With their present position to spare even a thought for the future. I am convinced, however, that R rllde awakening will come shortly, and tben, perhaps, the men will think it time to do something in the direction I have indicated."

MR. HOPKINS'SCHEME. A
MR. HOPKINS'SCHEME. A THE POSITION OF THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTE. At a meeting of the governing body of theMi-chaii- ics' Institution held on Friday last, Mr. J. G. Daw presiding, the scheme outlined to the Borough Council by Mr. John Hopkins, for the transference of the Mechanics' Institution to the Borough Council, was discussed. The Chairman remarked it was rather an. indefinite thing, as there was nothing very taingible to take hold of. The whole scheme, as it were, was in a rather nebulous form, and it was rather difficult to accurately define the position- In so far as they as a committee were concerned, they had to see in what direction they could best benefit the Institution, and bring it more closely into touch with the people of the town. No doubt, most of the committee had some idea of the scheme, although he believed sometime would elapse before it took any concrete form. He had gone through the soheme as outlined by Mr. Hopkins, and he was disposed to express a view similar to that taken by Mr, Sydney Stuart: that the scheme was one re- specting which the committee would not be justified in taking any action. There was one fatal objection to the scheme as it had been propounded by Mr. Hopkins, for it provided that the institution should be entirely transferred to the Borough Council, which would control and finance it, but he (the speaker) maintained that this could not be done ulllefJ8 the town adopted the Free Library Act. There did not appear to be any disposition to have that done, and without it, he failed to see how the scheme proposed could be put into operation. He believed a great deal could be done to bring the institutiou more closely into touch with the young people, if the committee took advantage of what was known as the Gymnasium Act. He had not seen the Aot, but he believed it conferred very extensive powers. Mr. Hopkins proposed toreduce the subscription fee to 2s. Gd., and hoped thereby to gain a large accession of members, but for him- self he (the ohairman) did not think the reduction of fee would increase the membership by ten per. cent. Mr. William David explained that the principle underlying the scheme was that the institution should be taken over under the Act of 1888. He believed that under the provisions of that Act it was competent for the Borough Council to make good any deficiency in the finances out of the rates without adopting the Free Library Act. The Chairman stated that Mr. Martin Richards had gone through the Act in question and was pre- pared to explain to the committee what he con- sidered was the position. Mr. Martin Richards than went through the Act and remarked that so far as he understood the pro- visions, they contained nothing empowering the Council to subsidise the institution out of the rates and he did not think this could be done without special parliimentary powers, and in the absence of the adoption of the Free Library Act. Of course, an Act of Parliament could practically do any- thing, and there was nothing to prevent the Borough Council from going for powers to put Mr. Hopkins' scheme in operation. As the Act of 1888 stood, however, he did not think the Council could sub- sidisethe finances of the institution out of the rates. Mr. Sydney Stuart said he believed that was also the view of the late Mr. Jennings. Mr. W. David said he did not agree with the reading of the Act as given by Mr. Richards, and mentioned that the chairman of the Council (Mr. D. W. Rees) was disposed to believe that the Council could subsidise the finances of the institu- tion as provided for in Mr. Hopkins' scheme. Mr. B. R. Jones said he did not think Mr. D. W. Rees had expressed any definite opinion in the matter. Mr. R. Stuart observed that the commonsonse view was that the council could not subsidise the institution out of the rates while to all intents and purposes it remained a private institution. As to there being a large accession of members if Mr. Hopkins' scheme was adopted, he had grave doubts as to this, as he contended that if inquiries were made it would be shewn that the use made of the library of the institution would compare very favourably with that of a free library. The Chairman observed that the adoption of a free library would not necessarily wipe out a private institution. As a matter of fact, the Royal Institu- tion at Swansea had made considerable progress since the opening of a free library there. Mr. R. Stuart pointed out that a free library rate at Lbinelly would not bring in a greater revenue than that now at the disposal of the Institution. Rev. H. Blvet Lewis asked how it was that so many towns were able to work a free library satisfactorily. Cardiff, for instance, had a magni- ficent free library with many branches. Mr. R. Stuart replied that rich residents were much more disposed to endow a free library than a private institution. Mr. Passmore Edwards, for instance, had given untold sums towards the founda- tion of free libraries. Rev. Elvet Lewis said it would be of service to the committee to be placed in possession of figures and facts as to the working of free libraries in other towns. Mr. R. Stuart: If Mr. Lewis w:ll move that our secretary visit Swansea, and Cardiff with that object in view, I will second him. Rev. Elvet Lewis I move that. Mr. R. Stuart: And I second. The motion was then put to the meeting and carried. 0;.

THE JUBILEE CELEBRATION. The Chairman referred to the gratifying fact that a nice sum had been realized by the jubilee celebration, and in this connection mentioned that the success of the function was due very largely to the efforts of the ladies. Without the services of the ladies, indeed, there would have beea no jubilee celebration, and it was their duty as a committee to publicly acknowledge the services which the ladies had rendered. He begged to move, therefore, that the best thanks of the oommittee be tendered to the ladies for their services. Mr. J. E. Jonea seconded this, and it was unanimously carried. It was further resolved that the vote of thanks be forwarded to Miss Daw, as the lady who had charge of the arrangements for the refreshments.

The Clerk reported that he had seen Mr. Wilson and had been in communication with Sir Arthur Stepney's solicitors, Messrs. Frere & Co., with the result that the draft lease kad been altered to the extent that the liability of the leasecs was now limited to their successors and assigns, which meant that the poisonal liberty liability of each school manager would continue so long only all he or she would hold office and that Sir Arthur Stepney's representatives would not oonsent to eliminate the restrictive clause against assigning or disposing of the property. The clerk further said that the engrossment of the counterpart lease had been handed to him for execution and he laid the same on the table for that purpose. It was decided that the eountarpart lease be executed by the school managers and the same was therefore executed by those present. I WELSH UNIVERSITY OFFICES.

IALLEGED NEGLECT OF A I'PAUPER…
I ALLEGED NEGLECT OF A I' PAUPER PATIENT. INVESTIGATION BY CARMARTHEN GUARDIANS. I MEDICAL OFFICER ASKED TO RESIGN. At the fortnightly meeting of the Carmarthen Board of Guardians, held at the Workhouse, Carmarthen, on Saturday, the serious complaints recently made against Dr. W. Lewis Hughes, medical officer of the Carmarthen district, were under consideration, it having been alleged that he had neglected a deeeased pauper named James Lewis, of 34, Priory-street. Mr. Dl. Jones (Derlwyn) chairman, presided, Mr. D. E. Stephens (Trawsmawr) said he wished to propose a resolution on the conduct of the medical officer, and he would like to say what he had to say in his presence. (Dr. Lewis Hughes was, accordingly, fetched). Proceed- ing, Mr. Stephens said it appeared from the evidence of the relieving officer, taken before the committee of investigation, that the ilrst time that pauper, who died on February 3, was relieved was on November 18. He then had relief in beef-tea and milk, and from that day to the day of his death he had nothing given him in the way of extras. He (the speaker) should have thought that if the pauper wanted nourish- ment on the 18th November he would surely want it in the week before his death. The entries were, if he (Mr. Stephens) might say so, untrustworthy, to say the least of them. On the doctor's own showing, they were entirely wrong. He put down Medicine, January 25 visit, January 27 visit, January 30," whereas he didn't visit him in January. Then there was a visit on February 2. That visit, again, was wrong. According to the evidence before them, he did visit the pauper on the Monday, but he had to be fetched in as he was passing the house. In dealing with the evi- dence of Martha Lewis, a most respectable woman, who said what she had to say in a most straightforward manner, he said she apparently went to the surgery on the Monday and asked for refreshments by way of nourishment. A bottle of physic was given her. She was told to give it to her husband so many times a day, but she had no label or further instructions given her to take home. The reason assigned by the medical officer was that he was out of labels. It struck him-as it must also strike the other guardians-that it would have been the easiest thing in the world to write out a label and stick it on the bottle. But that was not the worst thing that could be said about the medical officer. When she asked for nourish- ment she said she was turned out of the house. Were they going to allow such a thing to continue? If that was an isolated case, very little might be said; but that was one of a series of cases brought under their notice since November. It was their duty to look after the interests of the ratepayers and see that the poor were properly provided with medicine, medical attendance, and nourishment, and if they allowed the paupers to be neglected and unattended as they were now, they as guardians, would be negecting their duty and abusing the confidence placed in them by the ratepayers. He, therefore, moved, "That the medical officer be requested to send in his resigna- tion, and that if that resignation be not sent in in a week, the attention of the Local Government Board be called to his unsatisfactory conduct." Mr. Patagonia Lewis (Carmarthen) thought that that case proved pretty conclusively they ought to do something, and, in order that the medical officer might have a distinct advantage by resigning, he seconded the proposal. He presumed he would get a pension by resigning. If the matter were represented to the Local Government Board he might have no chance whatevbr of getting a superannuation. He said it was clear that the ti;.uper died without a spoonful of medicine from the beginning to the end, and he thought it was high time that they, as guardians, looked to the interests of the poor as well as to the interests of the medical officer. The Rev W. Thomas (Elim), after commenting on what he described as the discrepancy between the evidence of the relieving officer and that of the pauper's wife, moved a direct negative. Mr. Thomas (Cleifon Mill, Llanfihangel-Aber- cowin) seconded. The pension was discussed, during which it appeared that the medical officer might get a third of his salary. That would be nearly jE30 a, year. Mr. Stephens: I take it that if he sends in his resignation, owing to ill-health, he will get his pension. Mrs. R. M. Thomas (wife of the town-clerk of Carmarthen), thought it was only right that the medical officer should have a chance of saying something; but, on being appealed to, Mr. Lewis Hughes had no wish to say anything. The result of the vote was thirteen for and two against Mr. Stephens' proposal, which was, there- fore carried. Six or seven were neutral. The Clerk (Mr. Rowland Browne, solicitor) asked: In the event of the medical officer not sending in his resignation, what steps am I to take? Am I to write to the Local Government Board ? No reply was heard, the board breaking up as the question was being put but it is understood that the clerk has no alternative. THE MEDICAL OFFICER'S STATEMENT. The statement made by the medical officer before the committee of investigation was as follows:— The pauper's wife asked me for wine or brandy on the Monday before he died, I think. It would be improper to give wine. Giving stimulants would only hasten the death. I did not visit in January. They did not send for me. Very often patients get better, atd then catch cold and get worse. The entry of my visit on Tuesday before the deceased died shouldhave been the day previous (Monday). I did not think my visiting him in January would have been of any benefit. He was suffering from Bright's disease of the kidneys. I was out of labels for bottles at the time.
THE NEW WHITE STAR MAIL *…
THE NEW WHITE STAR MAIL STEAMER. EXTRAORDINARY DEVELOPMENT OF SHIPBUILDING. That there is no such thing as finality in modern shipbuilding is strikingly evidenced in the announcement that Messrs Ismay, Imrie and Co. have arranged with Messrs. Harland and Wolff, of Belfast, for the construction of a new and very remarkable addition to the White Star fleet of Atlantic liners. This steamer will exceed in length by 65 feet any vessel either afloat or in course of construction. Nor will her claim to distinction stop at this point; she will break the world's record for length, which hitherto had been held by tire Great Eastern. The Great Eastern was 679 feet in length, the Oceanic will be 704 feet, or 25 feet longer, and her gross tonnage will exceed 17,000 tons. In the construction of the vessel the White Star Company adhere steadily to the principles which they have followed with such signal success during the whole of their career. Due attention will be given to the matter of speed, but extreme speed will be subordinated to the comfort and convenience of passengers of all classes. In her internal arrangements the new vessel will be an enlarged reproduction of the Teutonic and Majestic, except in so far as improvements may have suggested themselves in the size and fittings of the rooms, and may be rendered practicable by the increased dimensions of the ship herself. It is expected that the new vessel will be launched in January next. Her advent will undoubtedly be regarded with interest not only from a commercial, but also from a naval point of view, as a valuable addition te the nation's fleet of mercantile: i armed cruisers.
