FISHGUARD AND DISTRICT.
FISHGUARD AND DIS- TRICT. I- is anticipated that there will be an ex- traordinary large number of candidates for the seats'to be contested on the new Ur- ban District Council in Fishguard. It is said tba: the names of many who have not hitherto taken part in the public life of the town have been chosen among their friends for nomination, and that several old campaigners are going to put on their armour a-fresh. A certain amount of activity is displayed in some quarters already, and the more cautious are beginning to send out "feelers" in vari- oas directions. In proportion to the number of inhabitants few country towns can boast of so many de- bating^ societies as Fishguard and Goodwick. This form of intellectual recreation and mu- tual improvement must bear its fruit in the future, and cannot but have a salutary effect upon tne lives of the generation now rising. Jaruou* men everywhere have borne testimony to the benefit they derived in their youth frorn taking part in debates, as witness the number of University men returned to Parlia- i, ie, t during the last General Election who were presidents of the Union in their year. One of the most gratifying features about these debates is their high tone, and the variety of the subjects discussed. It is also very pleasant to see the interest taken in them by CLOSJ who belong to the teaching profes- sion. Education would become still more popular in Wales if those who are best quali- fied to instruct and teach availed themselves e,ver-v UPP''rtunify to improve the minds O' :rie young after they have passed through the usual elementary course in the different sciijci-. Probably nothing inspires greater love or knowledge than to see those whom we have been used to respect for their learning descend to our own level and make them- selves enial and willing to help amongst lis. The greatest pedant is seldom the man wh. :a:; the best degree, and humbugs are generally found out in their work. After touching upon the three R.'s. we are reminded of what was heard the other day, that Pembrokeshire is distinguished by its three B.'s—bread, butter and beauty: and the greatest of those is-but we shall leave others to judge which is the greatest. The most scarce at the present time is undoubt- edly the second of these three commodities, for housewives complain that it is hard to find enough of it at any price. The quality of the home-made bread of Pembrokeshire must also come under the category of female praises and adulation, but the Rev. S. B. Williams on Monday night seemed to wish to divide the honours equally betv >een the two sexes when he alluded to what Pembrokeshire, as he had heard, was famous for. His statement was that it was a land where the men were chivalrous, and the w.jmen beautiful." and as a student of human nature Mr. Williams' authoritv should be accepted bv all. for did he not also assure us rhar he was glad of the wart on Oliver Crorrwell's nose, which helped him to under- stand the man behind it? Thi again brings us to another Oliver, and reoi'i- to our memory what old Dr. John- -n said of Oliver Goldsmith. Goldsmith, he sr.id, would not be Goldsmith without his str Je3 or swagger. or words to that effect. of his hearers were ready to agree with him, but some men we wot of, and whom we all Lave met in our time, would be nothing at all without their bounce and swagger. The Rev. J. T. Evans, rector of Stow-on-the- Glos, is now on a visit to his native heath. Bethel Baptist Church. Rev. W. Davies, Newport, will preach on Sunday, both morning and evening, and in the atternoon at 2, address a meeting on behalf of the Baptist Missionary Society, on whose behalf he has laboured diligently for over 15 years. All friends of the society are invited. Six Months' Leave. After an absence of nearly six years, Capt. D. G. Lewis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, Fishguard Arms, arrived home last week, on a six months' leave, and looks the picture of health. Capt. Lewis is chief officer of the s-s. Peru, belonging to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, and is to be compli- mented upon his highly successful career since his last visit home. Funeral. The funeral of Mrs. Bet Jones, Lower Town, whose demise we reported last week, took pj-aoe on Friday afternoon last, at 2 o'clock, at Harmon Cemetery The Rev. W. Evans, M.A.. vicar, and the" Rev. W. Morlais Davies GfS?iated at the house, while at the church and graveside the vicar took the service. The Rev. James Lamb was also present at the fune- ral. Deceased was the wife of the late }1- James Jones, harbour master, Lower Town, and many years ago kept the Ship Inn at that place., Tower Hill C.M. Chapel. A very enjoyable evening was spent at the To we- Hill vestry on Friday evening last, when a social was held in connection with the Young People's Society. The chair was < taken by Mr. O. D. Jones, headmaster of the Council School, the president of the society. 'He briefly stated the aim of the society, and mentioned the work done during the winter. No one has taken a keener interest in this society than Mr. Jones and his work during tha > inter months proves that he has the weUiie of the voung people at heart. Ample preparations had been made under the super- intendence of Miss M. D. Roberts, B.A., Coariiy School, who is also the vice-president of the society. A long-programme was gone through, those taking part being: Miss Mor- gan,Council School: Miss M. H. Symmonds.Miss Maui Blank, Mr. Bateman, Mr. 0. D. Jones, T. Matthews, B.A., Mr. T. Lewis, Rev.

IS WELSH A HANDICAP TO PROGRESS…
IS WELSH A HANDICAP TO PROGRESS ? An interesting debate took place on Thursday night last at Hermon Chapel on the ques- tion whether the perpetuation of the Welsh language was detrimental to progress. Mr. D. Gwvon Thomas assumed the academic task of showing that a knowiedge of Welsh was a hindrance to those who were aiming at high success in life, his worthy opponent being Mr. O. D. Jones, headmaster of the Council School. Mr. Thomas, in an able paper which he read before the meeting, set forth his reasons for this contention in the following order: (1) That Welsh is not a com- mercial language; (2) that the Welsh language is insular, or confined to the country of Wales alone; (3) that the Weish language is too poetic to be perpetuated in so prosaic an age. Mr. Thomas, in dealing with the merely utilitarian side of the Welsh language, asked "who had ever heard of bills of ladings being drawn up in Welsh, and who had ever seen Board of Trade returns issued in the ancient tongue of the Cymru ? The inadaptability of the Welsh language prevented it, he said, from becoming a cosmopolitan language, like English, or German or French. Welsh h" compared with Swiss, Hungarian or Polish, being the language of a country that had become amalgamated with a predominant part- ner. Welsh was not the langauge used in the courts of justice in Wales itse'f, and the language was losing its hold every day. In trying to prove that Welsh was too poetic a language for the present age, the speaker, in effect, contrasted the emotional haste of the Welshman in arrving at his conc'usions, and the mechanical, reasoning methods of the Saxon.—After hearing these arguments Mr. O. D. Jones dealt with aU the points raised in succession. He said that they should re- member that the Welsh were a nation who had been conquered, and it was the more credit to them that they had kept their language through it all. Compared with the written language of fifty years the Welsh of to-day had improved, and where there was perceptible growth in a language as in other things, it could not be said to be dying. Mr. Jones also remarked how Tennyson had drawn some of hs best thoughts and inspirations from Welsh sources, and, how, particularly in modern German Universities, great atten- tion was paid to the study of the Celtic languages, and of Celtic subjects in general. Speaking from his own experience, he also said that a knowledge of Welsh enabled chil- dren to learn foreign languages much easier. After the opinion of some other speakers had been heard the motion ("That Welsh was detri- mental to progress") was rejected by fourteen votes to five.
-I CHURCH DEFENCE MEETING.
CHURCH DEFENCE MEETING. COMMITTEE FORMED AT FISH- GUARD. A meeting was held on Friday night last at the Boys' National School, Fishguard, in order to form a local Church Defence Society in the parish. The chief speaker was the vicar, the Rev. W. Evans, who explained that the movement was the outcome of a recent meeting held in London, attended by the five Bishops of Wales, at which the Bishop of St. Asaph presided, and at which he (the vicar) was present. The question of dis- establishment was once more to the fore in Wales. It was more a question of what might rea ly happen n the Government found time at their disposal; and in view of the large majority they had behind them in the House it would be quite possible for them to dis- establish the Welsh Church. The Bishop of St. Davids acutely felt the position. At a meeting at Haverfordwest a fortnight or three weeks ago, the Bishop had delivered a very powerful speech, and urged the neces- sity of starting branches of the society in dif- ferent centres. They did not know how soon this question of the disestablishment of the Church in Wales wouid be sprung upon them. He did not want them to be afraid. He (the vicar) was not afrarid, and he did not think anyone else was. (Cheers.) But they must think it out, and realise that still there was danger. To meet that danger was the object of the Church Defence Society. To be prepared in this way was as much the duty of the laymen as it was the duty of the clergy. In fact the clergy would be provided for what- ever happened. When the Church was dis- established in Ireland the clergymen received so much money for their vested interests; but it would be sad for the country if the Church were disestablished. Looked upon from a just standpoint the working of the Church would suffer for many generations. The burden would be very heavy in country parishes, especially, when laymen should have to provide funds fo the maintenance of the clergy. Consequently it was the duty of the laymen to defend the Church—that is. if they were convinced it was worth defending. There was much ignorance prevailing as to how the Church was endowed. It would astonish a number of people to hear that the Church was not supported from the rates. The subscriptions that now went from Churchmen to other charitable causes, would, in case of disestablishment go to the Church itself. If more became acquainted with this, and other facts there would be 'less antagon- ism towards the Church in Wales. He wanted Church members to become active propa- gandists, and to see their numbers become so strong that no one would dare to touch the Church. If the Church was not dises- tablished within the next ten years he did not believe it would ever be disestablished. They intended forming branches for Church defence throughout the country, with a paro- chial secretary for each branch. They would have meetings, at least once a month, and members of the society would pay a small subscription, and the parochial secretary would report every quarter to the ruri-decanal committee. A committee would be elected in each parish, composed of an equal number of men and women. Besides these lav mem- bers the committee would include the clergy- men and the churchwardens. In the course of his address the Vicar referred to the way in which the stipend had been increased about iE45 a year in Fishguard, not through any Church dues or rates, but through various funds beionging to the Church. In conclu- sion, he said that many of them would like to see reforms taking place in the Church and in Church government; reforms which the most ardent Churchmen would be the first to welcome. At the end of the meeting Mr. D. Rees pro- posed, and Mr. Gwyn Roberts seconded, a mo- tion to form a Church Defence Committee. The motion having been adopted, the follow- ing members were chosen to act on the com- rnittee :-Iessrs. J. J. Morris, D. P. Lewis, G-.vyn Roberts, G. W. Williams; and Mrs. V-iu-iiaii, Miss Phillips, Miss Jenkins, Mrs. Mason, and Miss Harries. Mr. E. W. Rees was appointed secretary. The meeting ended with a vo'e of thanks to the Rev. W. Evans, who said in rerdy that he appreciated the support they had come forward to give to the movement.
ANNUAL PARISH MEETING.
ANNUAL PARISH MEETING. The annual parish meeting for Fishguard was announced to take place on Tuesday even- ng last, but there was only a comparatively small number of ratepayers present to dis- enss matters pertaining to the interests of the parish in general. The chair was taken by Capt. Titus Evans. The Chairman explained that the object of 'he meeting was to give opportunity to the -f.terayers to express their opinions on dif- ferent public matters, and he would have liked to see many more present, and to hear them incise the work of the Parish Council to Ilieil- heart's content. Mr. Hodges (the clerk) stated that there was a balance in the hands of the Parish Council of £13 8s. 7d. in the general account, a (I Z-30 ?s. Id. in the lighting account. Some discussion ensued as to the question of spending this money, with what was in the hands of the overseers, for lighting purposes. Mr. D. Rees proposed that the money should be used, and others suggested that by doing so the rates could be reduced. Mr. J. Richards said that it would not be wive for the Parish Council to spend monay at the present juncture, because the Urban Powe'-s would soon come into effect, and they would probably soon bring out a more per- fect scheme for lighting the town than it would be possible or wise for the Parish Council to attempt. He assured them that the Council had studied economy, and had -A-,iie all that was advisable to do under the p esent circumstances. He suggested tha. when the Urban Council was formed, and they decided to light the town with gas through- out, that a long contract, of at least ten years, should be made for the gas, as, after spend- ing a large amount of mOlloy for lamps, etc., the Gas Company would be able if they liked to raise their charges after the first year, un- less they made a long contract with them. Mr. D. W. Lewis moved that they request 'he Parish Council not to spend any more money on lighting before the Urban Council should be in existence. Mr. W. J. Vaughan and the Clerk explained ht; his was just what tue Parish Council themselves had already decided. .C"V"At'N'\I'.w'l'¡;1:i.&(' '1- l'he resolution, however, was d usual show of hands. A discussion followed about the lamp on Brodog Terrace and other small matters. The Clerk stated that with regard to the Urban Powers the last reply received from the Local Government Board was to the effect hat they had no fresh information to give on tiie matter yet.
♦ GOODWICK NEWS.
♦ GOODWICK NEWS. The Rev. James Phillips, Little Haven, was the preacher at the Reading Room last Sun- dav, and next Sunday the Rev. Rees W illiams, Maenclochog, will preach. Owing to the departure of the P-ev. S. B. Williams from the district, Mr. A. H. Clarke has been appointed honorary secretary of the Goodwick Debating Society. A concert is to be given this (Friday) evening at the Reading Room by the juvenile choir, which is competing at the forthcoming eistedd- todau. Mr. canning, wno is tne conductor, is able to assure the public that they will, be entertained with high-class music and that an excellent programme has been prepaied.1- There was all astonishingly large congregation at Goodwick Church on Sunday last to, hear the Rev. S. B. Williams' preach his farewell sermon previous to leaving for Tenby to take up his new duties there. Many were moved to tears as they listened to the fervent part- ing words. The text was in the 137th Psalm, the 5th and 6tli verses: "If I forget thee, 0 Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy." The first of a series of three lectures on Studies in Politics," by Mr. Stanley T. Roberts. M.A., of Lampeter, will be given under The auspices of this society on Saturday at 7.45 p.m. in the Reading Room. The society is now in a very prosperous condi- tion, having a membership of 75. Its pro- gramme for the remainder of this session is well worthy of the traditions of the Good- wick Parliament." These lectures will be open to the public, ladies being admitted for the first time in the history of the society. An interesting meeting was held last Fri- day, Mr. J. C. Bowen, Penrhiw, acting as speaker. At the close Mr. A. H. Clark, en gineer, was unanimously elected secretary for the remainder of the session. Impromptu speeches were the order of the evening, the opening speaker, Mr. Moses, on Motor 'Buses," being the only hon. member who reached the time limit of ten minutes. Amus- ing speeches followed by Messrs. E. DUllS- don on "Gas," A. B. Edwards on "Association football is superior to Rugby," T. Griffiths on "Football," D. Lewis, Pen Cw Road, on Suicide is justifiable in certain circum- stances," A. B. Lewis on The advantages of being stoney-broke," E. W. Watson on Big fires and how to prevent them," W. Lewis, Pen Cw Road, on "Motor Cars," and A. H. Clark on The thrilling subject, "That marriage with a deceased wife's sister should be legalised in this country."
FAREWELL DINNER.
FAREWELL DINNER. TRIBUTES TO THE REV. S. B. WILLIAMS. A complimentary dinner took place on Mon- day night last at the Commercial Hotel, Fish- guard, in honour of the Rev. S. B. Williams, M.A., Goodwick, whose departure from the district, as previously announced, takes place this week. A large number of friends and admirers of Mr. Williams were present, and the dinner was presided over by Mr. J. C. Yorke, J.P., Langton, who in his amiable manner, assisted throughout the evening in humorous and pithy speeches, as well as once obliging Them with a song. After the loyal toast had been drunk, the Chairman referred very kindly to the Rev. S. B. Williams' life and labour in their midst, stating that the neighbourhood would sustain an almost irreparable loss at his departure, but that lie would leave a host of well-wishers behind him wherever he went. Mr. Vincent Johns, supported by Mr. E. H. Sansom, proposed the health of the guest. Mr. Johns said that the occasion of their meeting there was a sad one, in so far as they were there to bid farewell to their parting guest. He had seen a great deal of Mr. Williams since he came to Goodwick about eighteen months ago, and was able to testify to the life of usefulness he had spent in the parish., He had done a great deal of good work in connection with the church in the time he had been with them, and not only that, but he had also done a con- siderable amount of work of a general kind for the good of the parishioners. He (the speaker) said he would try to describe his friend, Mr. Williams' career, among them under three headings. 1st—as the curate of the parish, Mr. Williams had always laboured hard for the good of those who lived in the parish, to whatever church or denomination they belonged. Everyone knew that the duties Mr. Williams imposed upon himself did not cease where the religious welfare of his people were concerned. He interested himself in everything that was likely to prove of benefit to others, to whatever class they belonged, as regards the common mat- ters of daily life. He had been the means of starting a Band of Hope at Goodwick; he had worked up the Sunday School, and for the benefit of the young he had formed a Debating Society there. Secondly, as re- gards the part Mr. Williams had taken in providing amusement and healthy recreation for the young, the debt they owed him should n')t be overlooked. In the cricket field, the football field, and the hockey club, he had been foremost in instituting and supporting these games. In every kind of social work, such as every minister or clergyman should be proud to take part in, Mr. Williams had shown himself an able and willing worker. Lastly, to him (Mr. Johns) his departure had a sad meaning, for in dealing with the personal side of Mr. Williams' life he could not help feeling great regret at losing such a true and loyal friend. After referring to the close intimacy between them, Mr. Johns very fervently wished his friend happiness and success in his new sphere, and trusted that for many years lie would be able to continue his useful work and enjoy a long lire. ° Mr. E. H. Sansom desired to endorse what had already been spoken. Mr. Williams only preached to them what he did himself. When they saw him they saw a man who was always the same. It was not merely a preacher ol a clergyman they wanted at Goodwick, but a man, and a man of the type Mr. Williams had shown himself to be. Rev. S. B. Williams, in responding, sairi his position was one of a great deal of pain tempered with a great deal of pleasure. He did not know exactly how to thank them for the kind words he had listened to from the lips of the Chairman and the other speak- ers who had paid him such undeserved tri- butes, as he felt. (" No, no.") He was un- able to thank them sufficiently for inviting him there as their guest; he could not ex- press his regret when thinking that he was there as their parting guest. That was where the pain came. In reply to them he could only say that what he had done was only an attempt to do his dtIty. During the short space of time—alas, too short for him —which he had been among them, he had found every encouragement in trying to do his duiv, and they had made that duty in con- sequence still more pleasant to him. Before he came there he had been told that he was going to a 11an(1 where the men were chival- rous and the women beautiful. A clergyman's duty was difficult if he had set the correct ideal before him and tried to follow the teach- ings of the greatest of all men who had ever lived—to do all things to all men. (A voice: And you have succeeded.) As to the amount of sucecss he had attained to in that direction, he, Mr. Williams, left that for them to judge. He had heard that before a woman could be a good wife she must be three things: She must be a snail, an echo, and a town clock. (Laughter.) As a snail1, she must dwell in her own house, but. he supposed, must not carry it on her back. A clergyman differed in this. He did not dwell often in his own house, but should take upon his own back the welfare of his parishioners. Secondly, the good wife must not speak except when spoken to, and was supposed to have the last word. A vicar should speak whether he was spoken to or not. but it was his duty also to say the last word and minister the last comfort to many. The good wife compared to a town clock must be punctual, and so had the clergy- man to be. There was one thing, however, that struck him; whatever be their ideals, and whatever their aims may be, they must con- sider the average man—not the unco' good, nor the unco' bad, because there was no unco' bad. There was good in everybody, Hike streaks of gold in a mass of quartz. Mr. Williams went on to say that he liked to read the lives of great men and find out their little weaknesses and peculiarities, as through that he became better acquainted with their characters, and felt himself more intimate with them. After relating many amusing st'ories. he said he felt after gazing round the table that night like a pet lion in a den of Daniels. (Laughter.) He hoped he would meet with the same kindness in his new sphere as he had met with in the parishes of Llanwnda and Manerowen. He would. be leaving the neighbourhood that week in the consciousness that he carried with him the regard and affection of many both in and outside the parish in which he had the honour to minister for a short time. In conclusion, he said he hoped to meet them all again from time to time, and wou be very glad to see them calling on him whenever they came to Tenby. Among those who also spoke in appreciation of Mr. Y> uliams, and what he had done, 1}.. iin i a rman (Mr. E. Perkins), Mr. M >ees of works at Goodwick), M-r. W. n. %I Stanley Roberts, and Mr. Vaughan (solicitor). A hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Yorke for presiding, and to those who had been responsible fur arranging and providing the enterta:nment. „ In the course "Jvf the evening songs were given by the following gentlemen:—Messrs. J. C. Bowen, Sansom, Drew, Moses, S. Roberts, Gledhill, Tombs. Carpmael, and the chairman, Mr. Yorke, while Guild gave a recitation. Mr Hodges presidtU throughout the evening at the piano.
. THE DINAS BURGLARS.I
THE DINAS BURGLARS. Captured at Llanelly. On Tuesday at the Police Station, Fishguard, before Mr. W. S^Jftikins and the Clerk (Mr. W. J. Vaughail), Alfred Nugent (25), of Hoi-' born Viaduct, London, was charged with felo- niously breaking and entering the dwelling- house in the occupation of Mr. David Harries, of Bryngarn, and there feloniously stealing six knives, six forks, six dessert knives, twelve teaspoons, one pair of sugar tongs, one butter knife, one jam spoon, one salt spoon, and one mustard spoon, of the total value of m 12s. Sergeant Rosser said that on the 16th of r IVUrch, about five p.m., he received informa- tion Irorn John 6. Davies, Garn, that his sister's house at Bryn Garn had been broken into sometime between 2 p.m. on the 15th and 2 p.m. on the 16th. Witness visited the house and examined the premises, and saw that an entrance had been effected through a front window by breaking a pane of glass cp-ose to the sash fastener, and on looking round he was informed by Mrs. Morrow, the sister of Mrs. Harries, that the articles enumeraigd in the charge were miss- ing. They had eeii taken from a drawer in a dresser in tie kitchen. After making enquiries in the district he reported the case to Supt. Brinn. From enquiries made he learned that a man answering the descrip- tion of the prisoner had been seen about the neighbourhood. P.C. Rowlands said he went to Llanelly on Sunday morning last and received the pri- soner into his custody from the Llanelly police. He also received from them the bunch of skeleton keys produced, which they informed him were found on the prisoner. On the way back to Fishguard the prisoner made a statement to him that he had passed through Fishguard on the day previous and 'lodged at a farm outside Fishguard, the name of which he did not know, and as near as he could remember it was about mid- day on Friday, March 16th, that he broke into the house in the manner described. He also stated that he sold all the articles lie took from there before he reached Cardi- gan. Prisoner admitted further to the Llan- elly police that he had been convicted upon similar charges in different places in South Wales. Supt. Brinn asked for an adjournment to Fishguard on March, April 2nd, in order to bring further evidence. This was granted. Other North County news will be found else- where.
DISEASED WOUND.
DISEASED WOUND. FOOTBALLER'S EXPERIENCE SHOWS THE VALUE OF ZAM-BUK. How Zam-Buk ceans out disease from a wound, and induces it to heal soundly and permanently, is proved in the experiences of a footballer. Mr. Fred Farrar, a boot and shoe dealer, of 14, Tram Terminus, Stan- ningley, Leeds, said to a local reporter:— During a match last year my leg was badly cut open. I suffered great pain, and as soon as I got home I sent for some onitment. In a week's time the wound appeared to be quite healed, and though I cou dn't account for a constant pain in my leg, I turned out again the Saturday after the accident. I was telling a friend about the peculiar pain, and during the talk I tapped the place. Judge my feelings when this caused the wound to burst open again and discharge a lot of matter! "I went home immediately, bathed the wound well, and on a friend's advice sent for a box of Zam-Buk. Zam-Buk cleaned the wound thoroughly, and after a fortnight's constant use my leg was quite healed and perfectly sound again. Since then I have never been without a box of Zam-Buk in my bag, as scarcely a Saturday passes that I don't meet with some accident. I always find Zam-Buk heals the injuries quickly and cleanly. I recommend this grand balm wher- ever I go." Zam-Buk is a reliable first aid at home. w;k, and at play. »
BRITAIN AND TURKEY. .
BRITAIN AND TURKEY. THE SULTAN OBDURATE. The occupation of Tabah, in Egyptian terri- tory, by Turkii5h troops threatens to assume a serious aspect in consequence of the obstinacy of the Porte, encouraged by bad advice. As the affair has now passed out of the hands of the diplomatists a settlement will be found on the spot by measures of coercion. It is ex- pected that an ultimatum will be sent to the officer in command at Akaba to withdraw his troops from Tabah, probably within twenty- four hours, failing which the position will be bombarded by the second-class cruiser Diana, which is in the Gulf of Akaba. It is not improbable, however, that at the eleventh hour better counsels will prevail at Yildiz Kiosk, and that the troops will be with- drawn, thus dispensing with the necessity for an act of hostility which would be the first of its kind ever undertaken by Great Britain against Turkey. The official declaration of the Porte regard- ing Tabah was contained in a telegram sent to the Turkish Ambassador in London with in- structions ti-I -eommun.,cate it to the Foreign Office. Although the Porte does not expressly say that it refuses to withdraw its troops, it never- theless declares that Tabah forms an integral part of the Ottoman Empire, and that conse- quently it hafi a right to occupy that place. De- spite this declaration, it is still hoped that a satisfactory settlement will be arrived at by diplomatic means, all the more since the docu- ment to which the Porte appeals to justify the occupation of Tabah docs not give it" this right: That is why Great Britain insists that the ar- rangements made at the time must be respected, and cannot tolerate the present attitude of Tur- key, which is characterised as unjustifiable and illegal. It appears that the Porte interpreted the recent silence of Great Britain as a sign that she abandoned her contention, and conse- quently the Porte attempted to impose its own view. The fact is, however, that Great Britain showed a desire to give Turkey time to with- draw without humiliation from the deadlock caused by her precipitation, and this is still the intention of Great Britain, although natur- ally such a conciliatory disposition has its limits, and it would therefore be unwise of Turkey to push the question to extremes.
LIFE UNBEARABLE.
LIFE UNBEARABLE. TILL BILE BEANS CONQUERED LIVER TROf-S^SS AND BROUGHT RENEWED HEALTH. Mrs. A. M. Dawson, of 24b, Pridham Road East, Thornton Heath, London, has profound faith in the efficacy of Bi.e Beans, based on a remarkable personal experience. If you ask her to talk about Bile Beans she'll never stop," her husband said to a local reporter, who had heard of her case and sought ia few particulars. It was acute dyspepsia and biliousness I suffered from," said Mrs. Dawson. About five years ago I had a severe attack, and I was told it all came from a sluggish liver. Medicine gave me no more than temporary relief, and cruel pains in the chest made my life, at times, almost unbearable. "Even the lightest foorl meant torture, and I was afraid to eat anything, so acute were my sufferings, that I became thin and emaciated. My friends and neighbours were firmly convinced I was dying. I may admit now that I thought so myself. Of course, many things were suggested, but at last I was prevailed upon to try Bile Beans. That was eighten months ago. The dyspepsia and bi.iousness rapidly disappeared and the paiiis went too. I could get proper sleep, and could eat almost anything. Now I am wel, and strong again, thanks entirely to Bile Beans." Mrs. Dawson's story illustrates the strange and alari;ii)ag symptoms and results arising from indigestion, and the power of Bille Beans in restoring the natural function of digestion and assimilation. Bile Beans are sold only in sealed boxes, of all chemists, or post free from the Bile Bean Manufac- turing C 4, Red Cross Street, London, E.C., at Is. lid., or 2s. 9d. for family size containing three tmies as many beans as the Is. 12-d. size.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. MONDAY. PATENTS, &c., BILL. In the HOUSE OF LORDS, Lord Coleridge, in moving the second reading of the Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (Registration of > Patent Agents) Bill, explained that by the Act of 1888 it was provided that patent agents should be registered. Owing to the interpreta- tion placed by the High Court of Justice upon a section of the Act the law was largely evaded, and by this Bill it was sought to prevent further evasion of the Act. The principle of the Bill had been affirmed by both Houses. Lord Granard, for the Government, offered no objection, and the Bill was read a second time. The Criminal Appeal Bill, which was on the orders of the day for second reading by mistake, was deferred. WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION BILL. In the HOUSE or COMMONS matters of varied interest were raised. A question of which pri- vate notice had been given by Mr. MacNeill elicited from Mr. Haldane the statement that, in connection with an alleged case of ragging" at Aldershot, a preliminary investigation had taken place, and four officers of the Scots Guards, who were under suspicion of having been implicated, were under arrest, and all other officers had been directed to curtail their leava and to rejoin the regiment at once. The Secre- tary for War had ordered a full court of in- quiry, which would! make a searching investiga- tion, at which everybody concerned would hav0 an opportunity of being heard. Introducing the Workmen's Compensation Bill, Mr. Gladstone explained that it would apply to all who were not expressly excluded. The definition of workman excluded a policeman, a clerk, an out-worker, a domestic servant, and a member of the employers family living in his house. The net result was that men employed in workshops, in the transport service, fishermen, postmen, and sailors would ba brought under the operation of the Act. A sympathetic reception was given to the bill- although Mr. Chamberlain and several other critics questioned the propriety of excluding clerks and domestic servants—and it was read a first time. At the evening sitting the rejection of the London County Council (Electric Supply) Bill. which was set down for second reading, was moved. The proposal to refer the bill to at Committee was agreed to, and the motion fon the rejection of the bill having been withdrawn, the measure was read a second time.
THE ALGECIRAS CONFERENCE.…
THE ALGECIRAS CON- FERENCE. -0- AGREEMENT PRACTICALLY REACHED. The Morocco Conference on Monday assem* bled after seventeen days' suspension. The Conference began the consideration of the text of :the scheme for the organisation of the police prepared by the drafting committee. The Spanish Delegation -at once pointed out as a general observation that as ihe police organisa- tion was to be restricted to the eight ports open to •trade, and as no innovation was to be made in this matter in the rest of the Empire, Spain. claimed, as France had done in the matter of her Algerian frontier, i.,he right of arranging the police question directly and exclusively with the Sultan, in conformity with the ralea already adopted by the Conference as to the rights of frontier nations respecting contra- band of arms and Customs, regulations. The Conference. having taken cognisance of this statement, the first Austro-Hungarian dele- gate intimated; that after a fresh study of that question it had appear,ed preferable neither to appoint at Casa Blauea instructors belonging to a third Power nor to confer upon the officer charged with inspection -the functions of com- mander at any one of the ports. The Firet German Delegate having notifiedJ his concurrence with these views, the Con- ference entered upon the consideration of the several clavees of the scheme. At the close of the sitting the Duke of AI- modovor communicated to the newspaper re- presentatives Irs views on Monday's sitting as follows "The impression is good, and I believe an understanding is certain. I do not regani the difficulty in regard <) with the Ala,elizen on the one hand, and the Diplomatic Body on the other, insurmountable." The Drafting Committee met in the even- ing to study the modification in its polioa scheme. Mr. White, the American delegate to too Algeciras Conference, ha,s cabled to Washing- ton that Confene i^e has practically reached an agreement upon tine onestion of the polic- ing of Morocco, which is the most difficult issue before it.
ADMIRALTY S TEN MILLION POLICY.…
ADMIRALTY S TEN MILLION POLICY. 4- The Admiralty has succeeded in placing- among London aird Liverpool underwriters the policy for ten million pounds sterling to cover risks in connection with the forthcoming naval manoeuvres. Although several large marine insurance companies liai-e hed aloof on the ground that the premium, which was mutually agreed upon at 3s. 9d., is not sufficiently large in view of the risks, the majority of the com- panies and a considerable number of under- writers at Lloyd's signed the policy at the out- set, agreeing to take their divisible portion of the liability. The liability is determined by the number of signatories obtained to the policy, and the greater the number of signatures th* emaller will be the liability of the signatoriee-
