==-=====-=- RUSSIA v JAPAN. I COMING NAVAL BATTLE. THE RIVAL FLEETS. A portion of the Baltic Fleet passed Singapore on Saturday, going east. The whole Baltic Fleet was sighted on Wednesday by two English cruisers. It Was steaming northwards from Singapore. The full strength of the Baltic fleet is as follows BATTLE-SHIPS. Kniaz Suvaroff (flag), 13,516 tons, 18 knots; Alexander Ill. 13,516 tons, 18 knots Borodino, 13,600 tons, 18 knots Orel, 13,600 tons, 18 knots Oslabaya, 14,500 tons, 18 knots Sissoy Veliky (flag), 10,400 tons, 18 knots; Navarin, 10,206 tons, 16 knots. ARMOURED CRUISERS. Admiral Nakhimoff, 8,524 tons, 16.7 knots Dymitri Donskoy. 5,882 tons, 16.5 knots. CRUISERS. Auroa, 6,630 tons, 20 knots: Oleg, 6,675 tons, 23 knots Yemtchug, 3,080 tons, 24 knots Izum- rud, 3.080 tons, 24 knots; Svietliana, 3,828 tons, 20.2 knots; Almaz, 3,285 tons, 19 knots. CONVERTED CRUISERS AND ARMED TRANSPORTS. Fuerst Bismark, Kaiserin Maria Theresa, Kais- erin Augusta Victoria, Kaisor Friedrich, Rion, Russ, Anadyr. DESTROYERS. Blestiasohy, Besjumprechny. Buistry, Bedory, Bravy, Bodry, Vidny, 28 knots. VOLUNTEER FLEET. Kiel, Vladimir, Voronej, 10,500 tons, 12 knots Tambolf, Yawslav, 8,640 tons, 12 knots. This fleet is rather stronger on paper than that which ca.me out from Port Arthur and was crushed by the Japanese in the battle of the Shan-tung pro- montory on August 10. On the other hand, Ad- miral Togo has a. better force under his command than he had on that occasion, because his ships have been thoroughly docked and repaired, and he can employ most of the cruisers which were then in the squadron of Admiral Kamimura. Altogether, the Japanese fleet consists of four first-class battleships, two second-class battleships, eight armoured cruisers, fifteen protected and seven unprotected cruisers, three torpedo gunboats, eighteen de- stroyers. and thirty torpedo-boats. TOGO ALERT. I An Exchange Rome telegram saya: Togo has divided his forces. A flying squadron of quicker vessels has orders to signal the whereabouts of the Russians to the slower and more powerful vessels commanded by Togo personally. The prevailing opinion is that the Russians will not escape. ROZHDESTVENSKY READY. I Paris, Tuesday. "Le Matin" St. Petersburg correspondent says it is assumed by tho Admiralty that Rozhdestven- sky is now ready to fight. It is stated he has had all unnecessary woodwork and other encumbrances thrown overboard. It is hoped the great battle will take place near Saigon, which would be: a haven of refuge in case of necessity. It is stated in naval circles that Rozhdestvensky's object is not c-.c) much to reach Vladivcstoek as to cripple tho Japanese Fleet. I RUSSIAN TRATN MISHAP.

The headquarters officials declare that twenty-five mountain guns. and a few field guns only were lost. The Ikid artillery remains in- t"'r.J HOSTILITIES TO CONTINUE. I RUSSIAN POSSIBILITIES. I The Echo do Paris" states that the Com- mission presided over by the Grand Duke Nicholas has handed its report to the Czar. The whole object of the Commission was to ascertain what efforts are necessary to continue the war with advantage to Russia. The official theory is that Russia will gain by continuing hostilities, as the Japanese will become exhausted, while Russia can always retire, even when repeatedly beaten. It is stated that Russia can send 200,000 more men to the front without further mobilisation. I WELL-GUARDED RAILWAY. I RESISTED 178 ATTEMPTS. Writing from Kharbin, a "Le Matin" corre- spondent says that since the beginning of the war no fewer than 178 attempts have been made to destroy the railway, which is extraordinarily well guarded. It also states that the Russians have enormous reserves at Kharbin. including 1,500 officers, held in readinc^a to replace those killed or wounded at the front. I JAP OFFICERS HANGED. According to advices from Vladivostok, the five .J ap!mc ofllœrs arrested thŒC ha-ve wn tried and handed. It was found they had airea?dy I sent Japan full particulars of the fortifications. I NEW RUSSIAN LOAN. I BIG NAVAL PROJECT. Paris, Tuesday. The "Journal's" St. Petersburg correspondent assert,3 on reliable information that Russia pro- poses to raise a loan of 750,000,000 roubles for the purpose of reconstructing the fleet. It is pro- posed to build 10 battleships, 12 protected cruisers, 15 scouta, 150 destroyers, a number of boats for carrying mines, and an indefinite num- ber of submarines. The majority will be con- structed abroad.

I VANITY FAIR. I OF THE DAY. From "Vanity Fair." SIR ROBERT BALL. Sir Robert Stawell Ball, Lowndcan Professor of Geometry and Astronomy at Cambridge, applies a merry eye to the tele.cope, and smiles benevolently upon the stars. The combination of wit with the higher mathematic and of a warm heart with the unimaginable frigidity of space, is suggestive of Ireland to the intelligent biographer. Such characters arc born, not made; and Sir Robert was born in Dublin. English schools and Universities have taught him to tolerate the Sassenach; but they have failed to eradicate the most precious of all possessions, his Celtic sense of humour. Sir Robert comes of a learned family. His father was a naturalist of reputation, one brother became Director of Science and Art at the Dublin Museum, and another. Sir Charles Ball, a dis- 1 tinguished surgeon in the same city. His mathematics brought him high prizes at school and college, and subsequently procured him a post in Lord Rosse's observatory at Parsons- town, King's County. From that date he has mounted the astronomical ladder two steps at a time. A mathematical Professorship at Dublin was followed by his appointment as Astronomer Royal for Ireland. His lecturing tours at home and in America were planned at the Observatory, near Dunsink. It was there that he wrote the majority of those books on astronomy that have given publicity and popularity to a recondite science. As these virtues of style are apt to be regarded with suspicion and indignation by more pedantic mathematicians, Sir Robert saved his good name among the professors by a magnum good nam "Theory of Screws," which, though profound, has nothing to do with Mr. Chamber- lain. In 1892 he left. the Irish Observatory to sit in the chair that Cambridge had offered him. Sir Robert prefers the music of the spheres to Wagner; he has made himself plain on that point. He does not ride to hounds, and yet is a judge of horseflesh. But, then. is he not the author of "The Theory of the Screws"? lie extends his good temper to.a golf ball even in its most evasive moods. Recently, he developed a taste for politics, but his ambition has not driven him into candidature, though he is the chairman of the Cambridge Conservative Caucus. He is a Commissioner of Irish Lights and Lighthouses. Doubtless, it was to aid him in his labours that the spectacle makers made him a liveryman of their body. A wise, witty, and brilliant Irishman, of wide reading and worldly experience—such is Sir Robert Ball. JEHU JUNIOR. HARD CASE No. 1459. Captain A is staying in a country house. He ia aware that for some time past his name has been connected with that of a lady in general gossip, and that another visitor, Lady B, has been intensely curious in the matter. After dinner Captain A finds he has left his cigarettes in a locked case, and while the gentlemen are still sitting over the wine, runs up to his room to fetch them. He sees a light, and, looking through the door, observes Lady B reading his private letters. Lady B has not seen him. What should Captain A do? ETON'S NEW HEAD. Canon Edward Lyttelten, the new Provost of Eton, was the subject of a "Vanity Fair" cartoon in May, 1901. "Jehu Junior" said of him then:;—"Those people who know everything say that he will not improbably go back to Eton." This remark shews a really intelligent use of the right to prophesy. Whether his return to Eton will give unmitigated satisfaction—except in the highest quarters at the .Colonial Office-I do not know. He is said to be something of a faddist. Vegetarianism has also claimed him for its own. And he is a member of the Humanitarian League. This is to the good, but if it leads to the abolition of the Eton Harriers and the ancient and honourable institution of the Birch, there will be grumbling among the Conservative and sporting spirits. His publications include: "Training for the Young in the Law of Sex." No doubt this treatise is an admirable corrective to tho study of Martial and Pentronius Arbiter. But it tempts one to observe that even our schools do not escape Problem Literature in these days. WHERE ASTUTENESS FAILED. The late Lord tet. Holier, as all the world knows, was raised to the Peerage as recently as January 31st. Last year he endured a terrible bereavement in the loss of his only son. who died of enteric in India. One of his step-daughters iri the wife of Mr. A. H. E. Allhusen, M.P.. and the other married, in 1903, Mr. St. John Brodrick, the Secretary of State for India. Several stories arc told in connection with the late Judge, some of which will bear repetition. His appointment as President of the Divorce Court gave rise to the well-known riddle, Why are marriages in May unlucky?" the answer, of course, being Because they invariably come before June." One of the best anecdotes is that of the man who obtained a decree nisi, and a few weeks after- wards went to the President, and asked if he could have his absolute at once. You see. I have met a lady with a large fortune, he pleaded. I am anxious to marry her, and I am afraid I may not be able to if I have to wait for six months." But this gentleman's astuteness went unrewarded. FROM POLITICAL ARCHTVKS "The inn of strange meetings" was the title laughingly improvised by Disraeli for the Bed- ford when, some thirty years ago, he found himself descending at the same hotel, and at the same moment, as his former secretary, tho late Ralph Earle, whom .he had not seen since the latter's attempt, in 1867, to upset his Govern- ment over household franchise. The title, lightly inspired by the contretemps, might well he extended to Brighton itself, which last week rejectcd the most recently created Treasury Lord. Hereditary gratitude migh, have prevented Mr. W inston Churchill from placing himself in can- vassing conflict with Sir Edward Clarke, but for whose timely intervention, exactly one-and-thiny years ago, the member for Oldham would not be in his present position. For in 1874, when Lord Randolph Churchill first came forward for the family borough of "Woodcock "as John Bright, by a drolly felicitous mistake, once called it-the candidate was found unequal to the composition of an electoral address or the delivery of a speech at. the nomination meeting. The distressing failure was telegraphed to headquarters in London. Mr. Clarke. then little more than a clever stripling on his promotion, was hurriedly called to the rescue, and at once knocked off a most effective letter of salute, as from Lord Randolph, to the constituency. Moreover, he hurried down to Woodstock, and, with the candi- date at his side, delivered the most successful electioneering speech of the week. "THE BLUE MONKEY." People are very rarely prophets in their own country, but the Marquis de Soveral seems to have achieved that desirable consummation, and to be as popular in Portugal as he is in England, if we may judge from the dinner given in Lisbon last wcek by the Portuguese Geographical Society. at which he was the guest of honour. M. (k Soveral is rather amused than annoyed at the sobriquet of the "Blue Monkey, which London, while worshipping at his shrine, has bestowed upon him. He is remarkable for his great-coats, which are always adorned with velvet collars and cuffs. the imrnaculateness of his boots, his perfect manners, and his very kind heart.

FISHING PRIVILEGES WITHDRAWN.— At P.ettws-y-Coed, at a public meeting on Tuesday night to consider the action of Lord Ancaster in granting a lease of the fishing rights of the Llugwy river to the Earl of Denbigh, and thereby closing it to the public, the Chairman (Mr. Robert Parry) stated that they had about 20 miles of open fishing, but they were now going to lose five miles of it. Mr. London said that very strong opinions had been expressed on the matter. Fishing was one of the principal attractions at Bettws-y-Coed, and bad in- duced a large number of people to take up houses in the district. A resolution calling the attention of his lordship to the serious injury that would be caused through the closing of the river, and appeal- ing for some concession to visitors and residents wiw carried unanimously. The matter was discussed on Wednesday at a meeting of the Conway Board of Conservators. Mr. P. Mackintvre, agent to the Earl of Ancaster's estate, said that he had known the river for upwards of thirty years. Very few visitors fished in it at all. The people who fished there were the residents, and they caught tho fish for sale. It had been a very poor river for trout. The part of tho river that was still open was the cheapest salmon fishing in the kingdom. Lord Denbigh was now re-stocking the river, and the anglers who would fjh it wouid be moneyed gentle- men. more the class of people who were required in the district. Lord Ancaster was not making a panny out of the taansaction, his object was to im- piove the fishing of the district.—The Chairman (Mr. O. J .Ton"s): It does appear hard on the face of it. but I tluuk it will eventually be for the good of tho distnel.

MOTOR SPEEDS. MAGISTERIAL PROTEST AT RUTHIN. At Ruthin Police. Court, on Monday, the Chair- man (Chancellor Bulkcley Jones) called attention to the extraordinary speed of a motor-car which passed him on his way to court, and iskcd the clerk at what paoo these vehicles were allowed to travel through towns. The Cierk (Mr. E. Roberts) referred the cha ir- man to the Chief Constable (Major Leadbetvei). Major Leadbetter said that the pace in towns was a matter for the local authorities. Tho Chairman said that motors were in the habit of travelling at a very rapid pace through Ruthin. and were exceedingly oangerous to pedestrians. He failed to see how a paltry fine of £ 5 would affect a mail wealthy enough to pro- vide a £ 2,000 car. The Chief Constable pointed out that the pen- alties included imprisonment if the magistrates thought fit. The Chairman said he hoped the Mayor of Ruthin, who was on the bcnc-h, vtouid induce his Council to take the matter up with the view of limiting the speed through the town.

ARMY AND VOLUNTEERS. ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS. INTERESTING ROUTE MARCH PLANNED.

Arnold-Forster, Secretary for War, on Monday received at the War Olhce a deputation which, on behalf of the city ot Norwich, presen.ed the depart- ment with the title deeds of a site for new cavalry barracks. Mr. Arnold-Forster, in accepting the gift, said there was great need for military training grounds, and he was glad to give public recognition to a patriotic act on the part of the chief city of a county from which, perhaps, the best cavalry this country ever possessed were drawn, namely, Crom- well's Ironsides. He had always felt it to be right to appeal to that territorial and local feeling which was so fruitful of advantage in so many other walks of national life. He hoped the action of Norwich might be generally followed. 1ST CHESHIRE AND CARNARVONSHIRE. —Regimental orders by Lieut.-Col." and Hon. Col. Wilford N.

MISS CHAMBERLAIN SPEAKS. I TO GIRLS OF BUSINESS AND OTHERS. I AN INTERESTING PERSONALITY. I It would be selfish to withhold knowledge when it may be the means of helping others that is the motive of an interesting interview granted by Miss Daisy Chamberlain to the "Walsall Advertiser." Miss Chamberlain, who spoke with the full assent of her mother (Mrs. Chamberlain, of 528, Bloxwich- road, Walsall), is as bright and active a worker as any girl in the district. an "Only a little wbll() ago," she said, "I was not Miss Chamberlain. expectea to live. But that miser- able time. thanks tc Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people, is gone, I hope, for ever. 11 1 am now eighteen. For the past two years I havebeen amartyr tu what so many girls suffer from- antemia and in- digestion. Six weeks 11g0 death would have been a relief. My face and lips were colourless, for I had no blood in my veins. My breath was so short that on several occasions I fell down in the street from pure exhaustion. Unlike most anasmic girls, I bad a keen appetite in fact, it was unnatural. I suffered a great deal with pains in the head and side-pains which seldom left me. I went to the best doctor we could find. I took medicine, medicine, medicine—any- thing to get relief Mrs. Chamberlain added One night mv daughter came home, and as soon as she got in she dropped. I made sure she was dying. I had read about Dr Williams' pink pills, and I got her a box and made her take them regularly. From that time she beiran to mend. I think I cried for jov when I saw the alteration in her. The colour be^an to bloom in her cheeks; her eye-, which had been dull, grew bright; and she became quite active. She soon ceased to be troubled by shortness of breath, and before lopg she was in perfect health again." Anaemia is simply bloodiness. Dr. Williams' pink pills make new blood thus they cure anaemia just as food cures hunger. They are good for other troubles of women and girls and of men. too. tor they cure bile, indigestion, gout, rheumatism, sciatica, heart disease, backache, piralysis, St. Vitus' dance, and all troubles that arise from poor blood or starved nerves. Dr. Williams' medicine co., Holborn-viaduct, London, send a box post free for two shillings and ninepence, six for thirteen and nine but they can be had at all medicine shops.

ANOTHER ANGLESEY DIVIDEND.-The creditors 01 the late Marquis of Anglesey on Mon- day received warrants for the payment of it. further dividend of I a., making a total of 7s. in the S. It is expected that another and last dividend of the same amount will be paid out of the rents accruing for the four months prior to his lordship's death.

I MUSICAL PIRACY. I ATTITUDE OF THE GOVERNMENT. In the House of Commons on Monday, Sir A. Agnew asked the Home Secretary whether his attention bad been called to the continued growth of musical piracy, whether he was prepared to give facilities for the introduction of lemealallegislation on the subject.—Mr. Akers-Douglas I do not see my way to bring in a Bill myself to deal with this matter, and as to whether facilities can be given for another Bill, that question must be put to the Leader of the House.—Sir A. Agnew Is the right hon. gentleman aware that leading publishing firms have been obliged to give up publishing any new music, because they are unable to receive any protection for their property ? (Hear, hear).— r. Akers-Douglas: I have seen the state- ment in the Press, but I must adhere to my answer that I cannot attempt legislation unless I could have a substantial assurance that the Bill would be con- sidered non-contentious —Mr. Peel If a Bill is introduced by a private member, will the right hon. gentleman use his influence with the Prime Alinister to secure its passing this session—Mr. Akers-Douglas It must take its chance with other Bills. I could not promise my influence to place such a Bill before Government Bills of, peitiaps, greater general importance.

On Tuesday the animal was returned to its owner, I a Mr. Clarkson, of Newstead. Notts. It is pre- sumed that the dog followed a. motor-car, for it was found on the same day or;, which it was lost, and tho dog must. therefoie, have covered a distance of 80 miles in the day. A Birmingham commercial traveller, named Gardner, was killed on the Midland Railway on Monday night under remarkable circumstances.

Pie:pont Morgan has left for a cruise in the Mediterranean,, says the "New York World." A woman admirer of his has been pursuing him everywhere. Although he does not go out in society much, preferring his own immediate circle of friends, she manages to see a great deal of the millionaire, and shews her devotion by knitting wonderful woollen waistcoats, which she presents to him herself whenever she is lucky enough to meet him. Mr. J. C. Bate, the West Cheshire coioner, on Tuesday afternoon opened an inquest, at New Brighton, on the body of William George Hurst, which was disinterred from Rake-lane Cemetery early on Tuesday morning, under an order from the Home Office.

The Earl of Rosebery presided over a meeting of Old Etonians at the Westminster Palace Hotel on Tuesday, when it was decided to promote a testi- monial to Dr. Warre, who is retiring from the headmastership of Eton. His lordship said that under Dr. Warre, Eton had preserved it proud pre- rogati ve of turning out gentlemen, and successful gentlemen. The secret of Dr. Warre's success was his intense manliness. Lord Harris was appointed chairman of the committee chosen to carry out the arrangements for the presentation. Lord Roberts, as president, addressing on Tues- day the members of the Buckingham Club-boys in service in the west-end clubs—advised them to abstain from smoking, which, he declared, was most deleterious to the constitutions of growing lads.

Richard Dickinson of Croston, was on Tuesday morning conveyed to Preston Gaol to undergo, for a second time in six months, imprisonment as a passive resister. As he refused to walk to the laiiway station, two constables carried him bodily part of the distance, and then laid him on the giound while a wheel barrow was obtained. In this vehicle Mr. Dickinson was placed and con- veyed to the train Arriving at Preston, four policemen carried niin about a hundred yards, then called a cab. and so completed the journey. On Tuesday the Saffion Walden Board of Guardians protested against the enormous in- crease in the Essex county rate which in a few years has gone up from 4id. to lOd. in the pound. ( ne guardian said the money was being spent, on such luxuries as motor-cars and billiard-rooms for officials, while farrncrs and others were struggling to pay the rates. He thought that to bit IId bill iard-rool-iis at the new asylum at Col- chester for the medical officers was not only ex- travagant but out of faihion, and suggested that the doctors should be taught, TO play bridge. While driving through Salisbury on Tuesday afternoon Mr. \Y. F. Lawrence, M.P. for the Abereromby Division of Liverpool, was thrown from his carriage and sustained slight concussion of the brain, in consequence of his pair of horses bolting a.nd colliding with a baker's van.

In the Manx Tynwald Court on Tuesday. Col. Moore, the membor for Castletown, ask,-d the L'-outena.nt-Goveinor if he wouid eons:dor the advisability of establishing telephonic communi- cation with the mainland as soon as possible. Reference was made in dobat-e to the inconveni- cnc3 to, and the loss of, visitors who are business men in Manchester through the island not being telephonically connected with England.

When serving a customer with oysters, on Tuesday, Mrs. Althorpe, wife of a Kettering fish- monger, had the good fortune to open one con- taining no fewer than ten pearls. Her attention was calied to the remarkable contents of the oyster, which was one of a consignment from Liveipool. by a pearl falling out, and she conse- quently laid the bivalve aside, and served otheis to a customer. An examination then revealed nine other pearls. The find was submitted to two local jewellers, who pronounced them to be pearls of excellent quality. They vary in size from a large pea to a little larger than a pin's he-oo. Welsh educationists, and particularly the mem- bers of the te-aching profession will learn with regret that Mr John Price. Principal of the Bancror Normal College, has tendered his resig- nation to the committee of management, by whom it has "been accepted. Mr. Price has been at. the head ot the LoHege tor about mteen years, and for more than thirty years previously was Vice Principal. There is scarcely a district in Wales which has not one or more male teachers whose studies have been conducted under his direction. He was for a long period the chairman of the Bangor School Board, and in other capacities has pioved himself a capable and progressive educa- tionist. Mrs. Lewis Waller, who has been performing at the Camaen Theatre this week took serious ob- jection to the practice of displaying magic lantern advernsemenvs on t-re; fireproof curtain between the acts. On Wednesday night a crisis was ivached. Mrs. Lewis Waller, who claims the sole control of the stage, refused to perform if the advertisements were' persisted in, and the lessee refused to withdraw them. The consequence was that no performance took place. The au dicnco, after listening to the overture, were asked to with- diaw, and their money was refunded. Mrs. Lewis Waller explained her position to the crowd from her brougham. An extraordinary scone was witnessed on Wed- nesday at the Recorder's Court, at Leeds. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, soon after talcing his seat, sen- tenced to 18 months' imprisonment a miner named John Jones, aged 19, who had p'eaded guilty to stealing cigarettes and other property belonging to a wholesale tobacconist, whereupon Jones drew from his breast pocket a quart wine bottle and threw it at the Recorder, who cried out. "Mind. niind," and lowering- his head luckily escaped the intended blow. The bottle also missed the Cleik of the Peace and his assistant The Recorder aftcrwaids expressed suiprise that the man had not been searched, and altered the sen- tence to five yeais penal servitude. There was si eat excitement in court until the prisoner had been removed. I

THE BUDGET. DECLINE IN DRINK REVENUE. 2i). OFF TEA DUTY. In the Commons the Chancellor of the Exchequer I on Monday night, made his Budget statement. The financial year closed with a surplus of Bl. 414,000, as compared with his estimate of £ 510,000, notwithstanding that the revenue from beer and spirits had fallen below the estimate by no less than £ 1,370,000. For the ensuing year on the present basis of taxation he estimated a surplus of £ 2,072,000. He proposed to apply the surplus of last year in reducing the National Debt. He regretted that he could not reduce the income tax. The tea duty would be reduced 2d. per lb. from July 1st. Something would be done also towards removing the res-rictions on alcohol for industrial purposes. On a resolution authorising the issue of £10,000,000 Exchequer Bills, Sir H. Campbell- Bannerman congratulated the Chancellor upon his provision in regard to the National Debt. and upon the reduction in uie tea duty. There still remained, however, a vast amount of war taxa- tion pressing heavily upon the people, because of the increasing extravagant expenditure of the Government. He complained particularly that there had been no reduction in the Army esti- mates. and urged that, further opportunity be given for a general discussion. Mr. Balfour intimated his acquiescence in the latter proposal, providing that it might be ar- ranged to finish the present stage of business by Wednesday night. Mr. Lough urged that. if the relief in regard to the tea duty were delayed ten weeks it would cause stagnation of business. Sir A. Rollit ex- pressed appreciation of the importance to the commercial and industrial communities of the concession in regard to alcohol for purposes of industry. The Z!ii'cussion was continued bv Sir E. Vincent, Mr. Bowles, Sir H. Vincent, Mr.  C. M'Arthur? and others, most of the speakers expressing approval of the Budget. In the Commons on Tuesday, the consideration of the Budget proposals was resumed in Committee of Ways snd Means. On the resolution red ucing the tea duty to sixpence per lb., an amendment was moved by Mr. Broadhurst to make the duty four- pence only, but this was defeated by a Government majority of 68, and the resolution adopted by a majority of 79.

IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE. THROUGH THE VALE OF CLWYD. A correspondent has been furnished with the exact times of the new trains which are to be added on May 1st to the service on the Mold and Denbigh and Vale of Clwyd branches of the London and North-Western Railway. The 9.10 from Rhyl to Denbigh is not at present to be run on to Ruthin regularly, except on Tuesdays, but the Company have informed the Clerk to the Denbighshire County Council that it will go through to Rathin on any day when it will be a convenience to members of public bodies and others attending meetings, quarter sessions, or assizes at Ruthin. From May 1st a new express train will leave Chester to connect with the 9 a.m. from Mold to Denbigh, thus enabling passengers from the Wrexham direction to reach Denbigh at 9.34 a.m. and Ruthin at 10.21 when the extension to Ruthin is made. The new train to Mold, Denbigh, and Ruthin, to give a connection to these places from the 12.10 p m. luncheon-car express from Euston, will start from Chester at 3.55 p.m. and will reach Ruthin at 5.10 p.m., thus completing the journey from London to Ruthin in five hours exactly. The 8.50 p.m. all stations to Denbigh train from Chester will leave the latter city twenty minutes later, at 9.10, and will so give a connection from the 5.30 p.m. dining- car train from London, which reaches Chester at 9 p.m. Some months ago the Flintshire County Council petitioned the Railway Company for a better after- noon service from Mold to Rhyl, via Denbigh, for the convenience of the members attending the county meetings at Mold. Next month the petition will be complied with by the running of the new express already mentioned, which will leave Chester at 3.55 and Mold at 4.20 and will catch the connec- tion to Rhyl from Denbigh at five o'clock, thus giving an hour longer at Mold and avoiding an hour's wait at Denbigh. A nc v; train from Rhyl will start at 4.10 p.m., connecting at Denbigh with the new afternoon express to Ruthin and with the existing train to Chester through Mold. Lastly, a new train to Chester will depart from Ruthin at 8.30 p.m. I
