Th-o industrial lads tried to open up the game as much as they pos- sibly could, but the Brynmill defence was equal to ilie attack. From a high kick, one of the Brynmill three-quarters was placed in possession, but was slow in getting rid of the bail.

Brynmill after-] wards paid A BRIEF VISIT to Industrial territory, but the move- ment was easily curtailed by Alattye, who drove them back to the" ceutre Half-time Score: Industrial, 2 tries; Brynmill, nil. After the resumption, Industrie once again got back to their uld posi- tion near the BrsfcmilJ line, and but for the splendid defence of Thomas. Nicholas, Copus, and Peters, several scores would have accrued. Industrial however, were persistent, Langdon re- ceiving from the broke through beautiully, and alter diddling the I est-end back-, scored an unconverted try.

During the second hall iiafod made persistent attacks upon the Aiansottor; line, but the boys failed to take their chances, Davies, Ogburn and Horace Jones just tai;ig u, score.

CHURCH PROPERTY. 0. Interesting Speech at Morriston on Endowments. I Mr. David, K.C. (a barrister w- I gagd on the Oxlord Circuit,) addressed a meeting at Morriston last night under the auspices oi the Young I Liberal League. The chair was occupied by M r. Ed- ward Harris, who said that at the pre- sent moment some very important questions were before tho country and the House which required carefui j sideration. He instanced the Honiej Rule and Disestablishment questions and went on to say that he did not! think that they as Nonconformists: t-ook the interest they ought to cako in such great questions, with the result; that the English Nonconformists t{)vk: acivantage ot that state of affairs, and ) that was indicated in the spirit ot eon- cessions which had been shown. He contended that if they had boon morel aotive and more zealous in actions by holding meetings, not on].) would they have educated themselves. bu. the English as well would nao. tome to know that they in Wales were ox ono mind in desiring justice at the hands of Parliament. (Applause). Best Abused Government. I Dealing with such questions as Tariff Reform and Home Rule, Mr. David said that tho present Govern- ment was the most hard working of that had ever existed, and was the best abused Government as well. Yet there was not a single measure .dlid) they had passed" since the present Gwernmont had been in power that tha, Tories would date to reverse or repeal. And even in the case of that most maligned measure, the Insurance Act tney had te, admit that it was a sound measure in prmcipie. All "hat the. 1 couid say about it was that it requned ? drastic amendment. In the fast -Mug- land had failed in Ireland, and it il'at? time to bring such a regime to au end. and the country had given its "verdict upon the matter. Ulster sli<)tLld not be allowed to dictate to the whole of Ireland, and he repudiated the idea that Ulster under Home Rule would suffer injustice at the hands of Ire- ?nd. i He alsc repudiated the statement i?at Ireland wa? not loyal, and looked forward to the time when Irelaucl i wouki be united to England. by the I bor-ds oi affection rather than the J sh&okies of the State. Speaking with regard to Disestablishment, Mr. David said he did not object to the Church as a sect teaching whatever it desired tc I teach, but he asked those present aÆ citaxens if they were going to still pe'r- j potuate the mockery which existed ir the Church, where the clergy, accord- j ing to the law. were forced to consent and assent to beliefs and notions that not one per ccnl. of the ciergy could as- j sent to or believe in. (\pplau:e). I A Fair Proposal. The proposal of the Bill with regard to the question of Disendowment was as fair a proposal as any that could" well be brought about. He did not like to use language of an improper nature, but lie contended that by IOC improper use of their offices, tilt Church acquired a vast amount of the ] property which it held to-day. and Llanddf registry* was a relic to-day of tho time when the Church had the power to do such a thing when they ap- propriated tho properties of deceased persons who died without making wills or for whom they made the wills and took good care to secure fine slices for 1 the Church. Why, he went further j than that and said that they robbed the dead and the dying, and that was how they became possessed of a deal of the property, so that when they talked about their piety, he knowing that the records gave the lie to such a thing, said that it was so monstrous that they were entitled to go to the country and rectify those misdeeds of the past. (Applause). At the close. of the address, upon the i proposition of the Chairman, seconded bv Councillor D. J. Davies, Mr. David j was heartily thanked, as also was thE (chairman for so ably presiding at the meeting.

) ———————— ABERAVON AND COUNTY SELECTIONS. Considerable gratification was felt in Aberavon football circles over the fact that that brilliant lorward, Rees Hich- ..n,b, had been selected for Glamorgan- shire and aisu over the selection of Guthrie Morgan. It is seriously felt, not in Aberavon only, That Rees Rich- ards-the man of steel-is one of the very best aud cleverest forwards play- ing football to-day, and his selection for the County will give h:m an oppor- tunity of demonstrating his worth for higher honours.

THE LAND OF PLOTS. Spanish Revolution to be StartedI, by a Strike. I The rumours that developments of a sensational nature may be expected are again in evidence. j I have ascertained from an unim- peachable source (says a Madrid cor- respondent in the "Evening Standard') that a revolution is not only in con- teruplatiou, but that if the revolution- ary party receives the support WOK.* has been promised it from Paris and London, a few hours, or days at the most, will seo the greatest strike which has ever occurred in a.ny country. For it; is by the utilisation of the dormant power of Labour that the revolution to be accomplished. Financial Success. iite Spanish revolutionary emissar; was received with open arms only allt week by his conneres in France, amongst whom two well-known depu ties occupy prominent places. But th< Government of the epublio see fit t( speed the parting guesi by the simple process ot giving him tvent-touj hours' notice "to quit," not, howevei before some thousands ol francs hac swelled the cotters of the "war fund." 1 am also informed that this same emissary has met with considerable financial success in England. The modus operandi, I am told, will be to commence with a strike affecting the workmen of certain famous coppet mines, to be followed by a cessation of work amongst the railwaymen, and end- nig by a general "down toois" through- cut the country. Should this pro- gramme be carried out in its entirety, were is thought to be nothing to pre- vent the movement from percolating through the ranks of the Navy, Army, i and Civil Service, for disaffection is rampant amongst all classes of Govern- ment officials .n Spain. The arrival of the revolutionary emissary from Lon- don is daily expected at Barcelona. Effect on England. I ine enect 01 such a reyoluUon upon I a large section of the Bi-?"tilh publicl would be alarming, for E!igil??h capital has of recent years been invested in Spam to an extent never hitherto at- tained. A general slump in Spanish Hails, Coppers and Industrials, com- bined with the prodigal policy of a re- volutionary Government, would cause many a bankrupt trader and many an empty grate. The burden of the loss would have to be borne, as usual, by the smaller shareholders and amateur fin- anciers, who for some time have re- garded certain classes of Spanish securi- ties as veritable Goleondas.

THE TAXI TROUBLE. There was little change to-day in the position in the London taxicab strike. The men are still optimistic and it was a noticeable fact that the number of vehicles on the streets to-day showed a slight increase.

DRASTIC ACTION, I Mr. A. T. Williams and Cefn- yresgyrn Crossing. Some time ago it w;^s announced that Mr. A. T. Yv dliams, ihe agent of j the ii ant contemplated taking some drastic action unless the Great Western Railway Company re- moved the lock from the gate which I closed tho entrance from the main road to the Cefnyresgyrn crossing. The Company paid no need whatever to the warning. Mr. Williams' himself has visited the place one day this week, and finding tho gate still padlocked he, with his 0\\ n hands effected an entrance by means of a crowbar, smashing the lock. itis action is greatly commended by all users of the read, and the inhabi- tants at large, who maintain there has been public right of way at the spot for generations before the making of the railroad.

I A DARING DIVE. -————-————— Houdini to Perform Sensational Feat at Swansea. To dive from one of the tips of the King's Dock in mid-winter is not in it- self a very pleasant experience to the ordinary man, even it he is an expert swimmer. But Houdini, the Handcuff King, who visits the Swansea Empire in a few weeks' time, is not an ordinary man. Therefore Swansea will have the sensa-! tion of seeing Houdini, his hands manacled, performing this daring feat. Houdini expects to remove tho hand- cufh while. in the water, and return to the quay-side amid the plaudits of an excited populate. Good luck to him!

ALBION COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. An absurd challenge was recently thrown out by a new hrin of commercial car makers. Their Challenge was for power tor power and weight ior weight. This at onco shows their very limited knowledge of the Commercial Vehicle business, as no Manufacturer of such Vehicles ever makes a strong adver- tising point ot the weight, in tact, such being to the light side, is quite an argument against, not for, owing to the bevero strains and stresses that any Chassis is subject to;tanying dead loacLs and running on Solid Tyres. For instance, a lti-h.p. Albion to carry loewt. costs £ 370, but a similar vehicle built heavier to carry 2 tons, but with the same engine, costs £ 470. ALBION CARS ARE NOT THE LIGHTEST, BUT THEY ARE THE BEST. As regards power, we sold one of these Chassis conditionally that it would take 50 per cent. overload up what is probably the steepest hill in Wales, and up which another welt-known make failed to climb without any overload whatsoever. The Albion completed the test with ease and plenty ot reserve, and we secured the order. Since October the following firms have ordered Albions from us in competition with practically every make:— Messrs. Win. Nell, Ltd., Brewers, ,\I srs. N V ni. Cardiff. 'Messrs. TV.

THE MARCH 10 LONDON (Continued from Page 1.) silly almost lor words. To undertake such iiiifciCii would mean a great haidship anu suifei-I lag to the men, and unless caretul and well organises preparations were made belore-hand, anyone who urges the spelter employes now out to proceed on such a mission In my opinion, not only courting disaster, but coiaitting an act oi almost stupendous folly, i am giad to say that pnsvllL indications poirn- to the tact that the idea is not likely to be seriously entertained by any consid- erable section of the men. 1 oefieve a list has been prepared to which the men have been invited to append their names. But, from the point of view of those who favour such a march the re- sponse so far is one that can scarely be described as encouraging. A few names have been put down, but they are not likely to multiply and, indeed, i think it may bo taken fur granted that, as i far as any considerable number is con- cerned, the march may be considered 'olf.' "Needless Suffering." Ut course, I am only expressing my own persomU opinion on the idea. if the men chooio to undertake a march to the metropolis there is of course nothing to prevent them doing so. But as far as 1 am personally con- cerned I absolutely decline to associate, iin self with it in any way, and ino-re than that. I shall consider it my duty to do all I can to discourage and denounce the folly of so ridiculously absurd an undertaking. There is nothing to Ix, gained by it beyond imposing need- less pain and suhering upon a body 01 men who have already suffered more than enough as it is." The men belonging to the various I -?

As the result 01 a visit by Mr. Wignall to the Head Offices of the Gencrai Federatioll d Trade Unions on Thursday la^t, it is quite possible that an impartial deputation may be sent down to make a full and complete in- vestigation into the dispute.
