I CRETAN CRISIS. I Attitude of Greeoe. I FIGHTING NEAR CANEA, I Alarming Situation. I LATEST DETAILS. ATHENS, Wednesday.—The Greek Government has addressed a note to the Powers declaring that Greece cannot remain a mere spectator of events in Crete, not only from a sense of her duty towards the Christian population of the island, but also by reason of the sentiments which she enter- tains for people of the same race and the same religion. The report that the commander of the Greek ironclad Hydra had sent a note to the Governor of Retimo asking him to put a stop to the embarkation of Christians is not confirmed.

I ATHKNB, Wednesday.—Prince George left by train this evening for the Piraeus to embark for Crete. About a thou- sand persons were assembled in the Square in front of the Palace at the time of his departure, waving their handkerchiefs and cheering for the Prince and Greece. The Queen stood weeping at the window of the first floor of the Palace as the King and Crown Prince drove off with Prince George to the station. In response to the cheers of the people, his Majesty stood up in the carriage, which made its way with difficulty through the crowd. A great number of persons again surrounded the Royal carriage. His Majesty returned to the Palace. A loyal demonstration also took place at the Pixseus on the Prince's arrival thore. Sensation in the House. I In the Chamber to-night the Promier was questioned concerning the instructions given to Prince Geqrge as to whither the torpedo boa flotilla had been despatched. The Premier said he was unable to state what orders had; been given to the Fleet. M. Ralli asked whether the statement that the Ambassadors of the Powers at Constantinople were preventing Turkey from sending troops to Crete was correct. M. Delyannis replied that he had nd official news on the Sub- ject, but that the Greek Government had in any Gase alteady decided on the course they intended to adopt. The declaration of the Premier created a sensation in the House, and the sitting was afterwards adjourned.— Reuter. DESPERATE ENCOUNTER. I 30 Christians and 100 Mussulmans Reported Killed. ATHENS, Thursday.—A desperate fight has occurred at Kasbelli, in the province of Kissamo, in Crete. It is stated that 30 Christians and about 100 Mussulmans were killed. Fighting is also pro- ceeding at the convent Chrisopyghi, near, Canea. The insurgent leaders from the various districts are now assembled in conference, and it is believed that the constitution of a provisionary Govern. rorot will shortly be framed. Peaceful Solution Impossible, I An Exohange telegram says According to a I consulaf report received from Canea the situation has become more critical, and a, peaceful solution, is considered impossible. I General Uneasinese. I CONSTANTINOPLE, Wednesday.—The Porte has sent a telegraphic circular despatch to Ottoman representatives abroad calling the attention of the Powers to the serious state of affairs in Crete, and appealing for their support in the re-establishment of order. Some of the Cabinets have already sent replies couched in vague terms. No answer, however, had been received up to yesterday from the British Government. Nevertheless, the Powers are concerting representations at Athens with a view to the recall of Greek war vessels from Cretan waters. The determined attitude taken up by the Greek Government in the Cretan question causes great uneasiness at Yildiz Kiosk, especially as it is suspected that Greece is sup- ported in some quarter. Fears are entertained at the Palace that Greece and Bulgaria may come to an understanding for combined action in Macedonia. News was received from Canea this morning that the town and its environs continue tranquil. On the other hand the Vali reports that 23 Mahomedans, men, women, and children, have been massacred by Christians at Kisamo Kastelli. The foreign Ambassadors will to-morrow forward to their respective Governments ajfinal scheme drawn up at their respective conferences for the introduction of general reforms in the Ottoman Empire. It is understood the scheme will not be presented to the Sultan until after the Bairam Fêtes, about the 9th prox. The French and Italian Ambassadors, believing that the new military tribunal at Aleppo which is trying Colonel Mazbar Bey is bent upon acquitting the accused, have made representations to the Forte that the case should be transferred to a compe- tent and unbiassed court-martial at Constanti, nople, and that Mazhar Bey should appear as a prisoner before the oourt.-Reuter. ,w' Greek and Turk. I The Times Athens correspondent, in a telegram published in the second edition to-day, states that Capt.

THR EGYPTIAN QUESTION. I PARIS, Thursday.—M. de Laueasan, in an article on the Egyptian question, says The best course for France to follow would be to seek a sincere rapprochement with Great Britain in order to arrive at a solution of the question which present methods show our powerlessness to obtain. Many other interests are capable of separating or drawing oloser two countries.—Reuter. THE EUROPEAN SITUATION. PARIS, Thursday.—The Gaulois, in an article on the European situation, says the state of the French Navy does not permit France to measure herself against Great Britain. France, the Journal says, has no foreign policy, becailso she herself feels that she cannot realise the aspirations which she has, and she does not desire to cherish aspirations which she might realise, hence French diplomatists will be condemned to utter nothing but empty phrases. —Reuter.
SCENE IN A CAFE, I
SCENE IN A CAFE, I A caM in the neighbourhood of the Champ de Mars has just been the scene of a veritable battle. For once in a way (says a Paris correspondent) Venus had nothing to do with the quarrel. A party of customers, out of sheer wantonnesp, began smashing everything about the place, and the proprietor, in dire straits, sent for the police, and then begged them to arrest the delinquents. The rioters however, far from dis. playing any readiness to surrender, showed fight, and a terrific scrimmage ensued. Perceiving that he and his comrades were being gradually over- powered. one of the agents of the law pulled out his revolver and fired in the air, with a view to intimidating the enemy, but this step had a diametrically opposite effect on the assailants, who returned with fresh vigour to the charge. As matter had become very serious, another police- man discharged his revolver, this time after taking deliberate aim. One of the aggressors fell on the floor mortally wounded, and his companions abandoned the struggle. Two were arrested on the spot, but the remainder succeeded in escaping. The affair has created intense excitement in the neighbourhood.
SET ON FIRE BY MICE.I
SET ON FIRE BY MICE. I Eitr!y yesterday morning the Rochdale Equit- able Pioneer Society's large store at Ripley-lane, Smallbridge, a mile and a half from the Rochdale Corporation Fire Station, was found to bs on fire. Superintendent Pearson, with the police fire brigade, was at the scene within ten minutes, and found one of the rooms on the ground floor twhere was stored a large stock of matches, on fire. The brigade after an hour's bard work extinguished the flames, having succeeded in confining the fire to that part of the large building. A tine collie dog that was in the room was suffocated by sulphur fumes. The superintendent, after careful examination, attributed the fire to the matches having been set on fire, probably by mice eating the sufphur, which they are very fond of.

The first case was one in which the plaintiff was Mary Griffiths (Griffiths and Co., builders, Pontypridd),who sued LloydIsBankiag Company, Limited, to recover 2257 for work done and mate- rial supplied. Mr Brynmor Jones, Q.C., M-P-i and Mr S. Hill Kelly (instructed by Mr W. R. Davie*, solicitor, Pontypridd), was for plaintiff and Mr Abel Thomas, Q.C., M.P., and Mr Douglas Lewis (instructedby Mesara Spicketb and Sons, solicitor-, Pontypridd), for the defendants. From the evidence, which was entirely of a technical character, it appeared that in connection with oertain houses erected in Pontypridd there was some difference as to the price to be paid. The plaintiff contended that there was no price agreed upon that the work done was day work, and as such came to JE557. Defendants, however, submitted that there was an agreed price of L300, which sum only they were legally liable for. For the defence-, evidence was given to the effeot that there had been some financial difficulties, that advances had been arranged, that the bank were concerned in connection with the tender for building submitted by the plaintiff, and that, as had been already stated, the amount of the plaintiff's tender was £ 300. CROWN COURT. (B«foro Mr Justice LAWRANCE.) ALLEGED WRONGFUL DETXITION. Hermann Johnson, Singleton-terrace, Swan- sea, brought an action against Nicholas Brabyn,*William Brabyn, and Elizabeth Maria Grace McCulIoch for wrongfully detaining, and still wrongfully detaining, from the plaintiff cer- tainjgoods and chattels of the plaintiff and having refused to give the same to plaintiff. The amount of claim for furnitnre, &c., detained was j369, and to this £ 50 damages was claimed for the detention. Mr S. T. Evane, M P., appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr C. H. Glascodine for the defendants. From evidence given for the plaintiff it appeared that plaintiff in 1894 had married a sister of the two mala defendants, who was then living with her brother, William Brabyn, a-b Mina-street, Llanelly. Plaintiff and his wife and both her brothers lived together at this house, witness, who was a mariner being often away at eea. for long periods. When away plaintiff used to send money to his wife, and she spent part of this money in buying furniture for the house and in paying premiums on two life policies on the life of William Brabyn. In Maroh, 1896, plaintiff went off to sea, and in July he returned and found that his wife bad died, and that defendants had taken possession of all the furniture and a chest containing the life policies on the hfe of Wm. Brabyn, the premiums of which bad been paid with plaintiff's money, the lease of the house, and other valuables that plaintiff's wife bad kept locked up there. The third defendanb in the action was the niece of the late Mrs Johnson, who claimed part of the goods under a will alleged to have been made by her aunt, plaintiff's wife. A number of lotters written to plaintiff by his late wife were put into court. In these it was stated that she bad been in the habit of paying the rates of the house and the premiums on the life policies. Plaintiff was cross-examined at lengbh by Mr Glascodiue. It appeared that the house at Mina-street was owned by one of the brothers Brabyn, one of them being a master mariner, while plaintiff was only a second officer. Witness denied that he had when away at sea kept his wife short of money. On the other hand he had sent her a great deal, which she had spent in returnishing. Further evidence for plaintiff was given by James Downing and Henry Ellis Poole, the latter the auctioneer who had sold the furniture on August 18th. —Mr Glascodine, in opening the case for the defence, urged that the goods sold at the sale had once belonged to Mrs Johnson, but that they had been left to Mrs McCulloch, and that the latter had had them sold. The counter-claim for 2108 was for rent due. Evidence was given by Nicholas and Win. Brabyn, both elderly. They said they owned the house in Mina-street, but got no rent for it. Nicholas admitted opening plaintiff's trunk, but said he had done it while looking for money to pay Mrs Johnson's funeral expenses. The articles he had taken from the trunk to put in a place of safety. Cross-examined by Mr S. T Evans, witness was asked where he had lived since 1891.—Witness With my wife.—Counsel: When were you married ? In 1893. (Laughter.) —Counsel: How could that be ?—To the latter question Nioholas deemed silence the most dignified course, and the rest of the domestic life of defendant was a sealed book so far as tho Court was concerned. But there was more humour later, and this timehisLordship put the questions. Wm. Brabyn was in the box, when his Lordship said What have you been hving on lately ?-On the lease of the house.—" You have all been living on this lease, then t" pursued his Lordship.— Witness I was at a Scotch colliery from 1894 to 1896.-His Lordship Where were you in 1895 ? -Ab Liuneliy.-Hi-,i Lordship But I thought you were at a Scotch colliery ?-Ye, bub I used to come back every night. (Loud laughter.) -His Lordship: What all the way from Scotland? (Loud laughter.) At this point it was explained to his Lordship that the Scotch colliery was not in Scotland. His Lordship seemed puzzled and exclaimed Oh really What alpeculiar people you are down here. (Laughter.) I was under the impression that he came down from the Scotch moun- tains evety night. Why do they call it the Scotch colliery if it lis not in Scotland ?—Mr Glascodine The honour of my country is at stake, my Lord. (Laughter.) It is so named because the owners are Scotch. (L-,Nughbor.)-His Lord- I ship (despairingly): Oh, dear, I don't; see why I should do this work when you gentlemen are paid to do it. (Laughter.) I'll not ask him any. thing more. (Litt, gli ter.)-Mrs McColloch's evidence was productive of more humour, for she gave a likely description of the goods, the owner- ship of which was in dispute. Now a lady's age isa ticklish matter to ask about. but Mr S. T.Evans knows no hindrance when he wants information, and put it to Mrs McCulloch, How old are you ? Well, I won't tell you that, but III tell you how old I was in 1884, (Laughter.)—Mr S. T. Evans Well, tell us that.—Witness In 1834 I was 25 years of age.—Whereat his Lord- ship smiled, and the Court followed suit.— Further evidence was given for the defence, and his Lordship summed up with due regard to the humours of the situation. The jury found for the plaintiff judgment for £ 35, the return of the life polioies to the plaintiff, and also for tho plaintiff on the counter-claim. f (FItOCICIEDING.1 The Llandough Outrage. 111 the Crown Court yesterday Daniel Charley, aged 20, labourer, was indicted for unlawfully and carnally knowing Florence Burge, a girl of the age of 10 years and eight months, at Llan- dough on January 23rd.

SOUTH AFRICAN COMMITTEE.
SOUTH AFRICAN COMMITTEE. It. is not likely (says the Daily ChrmicU) that. the South African Committee wil be baulked, as the Cape Committee was baulked, by the failure of Mr Kbodes and his chief agents to submit themselves to examination. Not only will Mr Rhodes be lequired to appear, but other witnesses will be Dr. Harris, who also ignored the summons of the Cape Committee, the Duke of Fife, the Duke of Abercorn, Mr Newton, to whose evidence much interest attaches, Major Heany. and probably, though not certainly, Mr Beib, who is a German subject, Mr Leonard, Sir Graham Bower, and many other witnesses will be summoned. It may be added that at least a tninority of the committee are determined to tolerate no evasive or incomplete answers. Order of Procedure. A private meeting of the South Afrioan Com- mittee was held at Westminster Hall to-day, when the order of procedure was discussed. It was stated that the first witnesses at the inquiry, which opens on Tuesday next, will be the Colonial Office officials, who will put in necessary documents, after which Mr Cecil Rhodes will be examined. The Press Association states that another meeting of the Select Committee on South African affairs, with special reference to the administra- tion of the Chartered Company, was held this afternoon in the large committee-room at the Westminster Hall, formerly occupied by the Labour Commission. Neither Mr W. L. Jackson nor Mr Chamberlain were present, and the pro- ceedings were again conducted in private. It is zinderstood that to-day's business was mainly to consider applications received from various parties interested who desire to be represented by counsel, further consideration of the general lines within which the examination of witnesses and the interposition of counsel should be confined, formal reception of certain documents ordered to be furnished, and the selection of witnesses to be called at future stages of the inquiry. The next meeting will be on Tuesday, when Mr Rhodes is expected to be callcd. The proceedings will be open to the Press. To Be Legally Represented. I The number of applications from parties wishing to be represented by counsel was seven. Two of these, from persons interested in oertain trading concessions were post- poned, but the other five were granted, including those from the Chartered Company, Mr Cecil Rhodes, Mr Beit, and Mr Leonard Phillips. It Was agreed to give notice to cable companies not to destroy auy telegrams which parsed between South Africa and England towards the close of 1895.
GREAT MEN MISTAKEN. I
GREAT MEN MISTAKEN. I A young gentleman about to be brought up to the musical profession was so aggrieved on being told that he bad no voice, and never would sing, that he became angry with the gentleman who had undertaken to train him, and uttered some words which have resulted in a libel action. Had the young man (says a Yorkshire paper) been conversant with the history of some eminent mem- bers of the profession he aspired to join, he would have known that identical words were said to Jenny Lind by Signor Garcia, then the first teaeher of singing in the world, that she had no voice, and never would have." Instead of becom- ing angry, she determined to disprove his words, and succeeded. It is said that Sir Walter Scott was dismissed from the High School, Edinburgh, by the master with the words, A dunce you are, and a dunce you will remain." Mr Spurgeon was another instance of great men being mistaken, for years ago grave and reverend men apologised for him, and hoped he would not be taken all a faif: sample of the Baptist ministry, and Dr. Binney described him as a fcoy who talked in a confused and incoherent MAnner without logio or consistency." Those, therefore, who have appeared to be ploughing the Bands have not been always as foolish as they seemed, Mid deserved thanks rather than bard worda. ^mmmmmmmmmmmmmmtmrn

WAS THE MARE PROPERLY j SHOO P ——— f Ak the Newport County Court to-day-before his Honour Jndge Owen—the case of Lawrence v. Dennis Was heard, in which the plaintiff, Mr Lawrence, haulier, of Capel-orescent, sued Mr Dennis, farrier and shoeing smith, for B12 damages for the loss of a cart mare. Mr Bailhaohe, barrister, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr L. H. Hornby, solicitor, represented the defendant. In November last plaintiff purchased the mare, together with cart and harness, for £14, the mare being valued at £10. A fortnight afterwards the animal was shod at defendant's smithy, and a week subsequently the animal showed signs of lameness, and Mr Dennis was oalled in. and said that the hock was inflamed. Next day it was discovered that the animal had been pricked in shoeing, and on the shoe being removed matter came from the hoof. Two days afterwards the animal died from blood poisoning as the result of the pricking of the foot. Witnesses for the plaintiff stated that the animal had been improperly shod. The defence was thab proper and reasonable care had been taken in the shoeing of the mare, and that defendant was not therefore responsible. His Honour, however, held that the claim had been made out and gave judgment for £10 and costs,

A CORONER FINING HIMSELF. I Last evening an inquest was held at the Town Hall, Stiratford-on-Avon, by Mr Theo. Christo- pliers respecting the death of William Lane (69), shoemaker, Greenhill-sfcreet, who was found dead in bed. The Coroner arrived 40 minutes late. He bad, he said, no legal excuse to offer for detain. ing the jury, but he had been discharging his duties as magistrates' clerk at Henley-in- Arden. When the Court rose be had to satisfy the oravings of the inner man, and found that he bad barely half an hoar to drive to Stratford (eight miles), He was willing to think that the Coroner was equal to five jurymen. He was willing to pay 5s to the Indian Famine Fund, if the jurymen thought fit* He was willing to leave the amount that he should Pay, however, to the jury, should they think the sum named insufficient. The inquiry was pro- ceeded with, and the jury returned a verdict of Death from natural causes." The jury subse- quently considered the Coroner's offer to fine himself 5. and decided that under the circum- stances they would excuse payment.

The Coroner: Did he try and read your thoughts or anything of that kind ? Witness: No; but when we talked a little together he went into what he called a trance," and spoke very peculiarly and breathed very heavily at such times. Witness (continuing) said he did not tell her what part of the country he belonged to or came from, but once he told her he was a Welshman. Witness told him she did not believe this because he did not speak with a Welsh accent. He never spoke any Welsh in her presence. Witness did not notice that he spoke with a. Yorkshire accent; he employed good English, and was very genteel. On one occasion deceased told her that he had something to do with shipping. The Curoner Did he seema11 right at night Witness: No, air he used to be about a good deal at night time, and also went downstairs to his sitting-room, where he burned a quantity of papers. Deceased paid her a week's lodging in advance, but at the time he left her he owed for two days' lodging. A JURYMAN'S OBSERVATIONS. I A Juryman here stated that lie had been frequently in the company of deceased, who always appeared of a friendly disposition. On one occasion he remarked that the people of Llandaff wondered who he was, and some people had even considered him to be a deteotive. He seemed pleased to think that no person knew anything about him. He was told that deceased attended service at the Cathedral Sunday evening. EVIDENCE OF MRS WOOD. I Mrs Elizabeth Wood, at whose house deceased lodged at the time of his death, said he canie to her place on the previous Friday evening, bringing his portmanteau, which was labelled W. Jenkins." Deceased returned home at 9.30 p.m. on Sunday, and he went to bed very shortly afterwards. Deceased did not appear astir on the afternoon of the following day, and she knocked at his door several times, but had no reply, in conse- quence of which she became alarmed. About 10 o^clock the same night she sent for the police. No Jetters were received by him during the time he remained at her house. GOOD NIGHT." I Florence Wood, daughter of the last witness, J was called to state that she opened the door to | deceased on Sunday uighs at 9.30 p.m., and he 1 wished her Good night." He appeared to be I in his usual state of health at the time. I POLICE EVIDENCE. I P.C. Toye, stationed at Llandaff, deposed that he was summoned by Mrs Wood, who told him that deceased bad not risen from bed that day, although she bad knocked at hi3 bedroom door several times. P.C. Phillips, who accompanied witness, pro- ceeded to the bedroom, the door of which was not locked, and obtaining no response to his knock. they both entered, They found deceased lying on his back dead. The body was cold. The bed clothes were not disturbed in any way. Dr. Arthur was then summoned. Subsequently witness examined the deceased's off ects and dis- covered the certificate and papers already mentioned in these columns, and upon which appeared the name of "Jenkins." There were no letters. Upon some of the shirts the name of W. Jenkins" bad been written over the name" W. Cross;" bub upon a a handkerchief and a razor case the last mentioned name alone was written. A Christmas card with the words H. M. C. a five-chambered revolver, and a small collection of foreign coins was also found in his possession. There were three bottles found in the bedroom, which were handed to Dr. Arthur at the time. THE CAUSE OF DEATH. I Dr. Arthur was next called. At the time he first saw the body the man must have been dead ten or twelve hours. He had made a post mortem examination of the body, which appeared to be that ef a man about 30 years of age, five feet ten inches m height, clean shaven, with slight moustache. Externally there were no marks of violence, but mternally he found that there was a rupture of the thoracic aorta, a large vessel from the heart, which supplied the whole of the body. The plural cavity of the left lung was filled with blood arising from the rupture. The disease which caused this must have been of some standing. In one of the bottles he found bromide of sodium, which would be prescribed for suoh a complaint. To all appearances deceased had been a heavy drinker. The Coroner remarked that the cause of death had been made perfectly clear to them by Dr. Arthur. As to deceased's mine, his own view was that it was Cross," but upon that point there was not sufficient evidence to justify them in declaring this in their verdict. The jury returned a verdict of Death from natural causes," and added that deceased's proper name was unknown. The Bedy Net Yet Identified. I Neither the county nor the borough police officials have yet discovered the identity of the man found dead at Llaudaff on Monday. Certain clues are being followed however, and it is expected that the name, address, and occupation of deceased will be found soon. Inquiries made in Cardiff last night go to show that persons answering to the description published had stayed at hotels in Ponarbh road and else- where in the town, and left about three weeks ago, leaving luggage behind. At one of the houses in Penarth road the belongings left were a couple of sailor's bags, on which were marked the names Cross" and Wm, Jenkins," and on some of the papers found was an address in Yorkshire. The landlady is of opinion that deceased is the man who stayed there, and that his name is either Cross or Jenkins.
WELSH CHIEF INSPECTORSHIP…
WELSH CHIEF INSPECTORSHIP OF SCHOOLS. Young Wales says We are enabled to publish the following letter which has been addressed by Mr Balfour to a member of our staff who had written him respecting the above matter 10, Downing-street, Whitehall, S.W., Jan. 20 th, 1897. Dear Sir,—"I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter upon the subject of the reoent appointment of Mr Legard to the Chief Inspector- ship of Schools in Wales. I understand that Mr Legard will have the immediate charge of a district in which the Welsh language is neither spoken nor taughb, and that critics of the appointment are misinformed as to there being atly material difference between the condi- tions of elementary education in England and Wales, and aa to the supposed necessity of a knowledge of Welsh to the due discharge of a chief inspector's duties. "I also understand that, as a matter of fact the power to teach Welsh in schools has been very islightly made use of-and to a diminishing extent; and it would have been uniust on stmh grounds to have overlooked the olaims to promo- tion of the long and distinguished service of Mr Legard, whose name, I am informed, stands on the list in point of seniority far above that of the oldest Welsh inspector employed in Wales. I remain, yours faithfully, ABTHUR J AMES BALMUB."

I Cardiff University College…
I Cardiff University College I I MEETING OF GOVERNORS. I There was an exceptionally large attendance at j a meeting of the Court of Governors of the' University College of South Wales and Mon- mouthshire on Wednesday at the College, Cardiff, more than 100 governors being present. Prior to the Court assembling a meeting of the Council was held. Mr Louis Tylor (hon. treasurer) presided over an attendance comprising the I Principal, Rev. Alderman Aaron Davies, Rev. J. Morgan Jones, Principal Edwards, Rev. A. Tilly, Dr. W. T. Edwards, Dr. Sheen, Alderman Sanders, Alderman Trounce, Councillor John ¡ Daniel, Professor Thompson, MrC. T. Whitmell Mr H. M. Thompson, Mr Evan Owen, and Mr J. A. Jenkins, registrar. The Council proceeded to fill the vacant position of lecturer in geology, caused by the death of Dr. Morris. There were 19 candidates, and Mr W, S. Boulton, Assoc. R.O.S., F.G.S., lecturer in geology and geography at the Mason College, Birmingham, wasappointed, Mr Boulton was educated at King Edward"' School, Binningham, where he gained a founda- tion scholarship and some 15 prizes for all branobas of work: For two years he acted as Professor Lapwortli's junior demonstrator in the geological department at the Mason College. In 1890 he was appointed demonstrator in geology and geography at the same College, and was subsequently appointed lecturer in the same subjects. For many years his leisure has been occupied in conducting original investigations in the field and laboratory, mainly in conjunction with Professor Lapworbh, He is at present preparing for publication some of his results on the petrology of the older volcanica of Wales. Mr Lonis Tyior was elected to preside over the Court of Governors, in the unavoidable absence of Lord Tredegar, the president. The court considered the question of the representation of head teachers of Intermediate schools on the Court of Governors, in view of the altered state of things brought about by the creation of Intermediate schools under the Welsh Act. Alderman Aeron Davies proposed "That the matter of drawing np a special statute be referred to the Council."—Mr Richard Morri seconded, with the reservation that no preponder- ance of voting power should be given to the Intermediate schools in comparison with the certificated teachers. The great feeders of the College, be said, would ba the elementary teachers through the Intermediate schools.-Mr Brockington suggested the desirability, in drafting the statute, of making the franchise a professional franchise rather than a franchise relating to one class of teachers.— The Principal thought there would be a difficulty as to what constituted membership of the profes- sion.-Mr Brockington replied that it was proposed to establish, by Act of Parliament, a register of teachers, including teachers in second- ary schoois and this, of course, might be taken as proof of membership.—Aldsrmaa Davies's i motion was adopted. REPRESENTATION OF CERTIFICATED TEACHERS. I With regard to the proposed special statute concerning the repre^ntation of certificated teachers of public Elementary schools on the Court of Grve,-norF, a letter wss read from the Privy Counoil stating that owing to the confirma- tory meeting of the Court being held in less than one year after the passing of the resolution the proceedings were invalid. It transpired that the period was lacking only one day. the resolution being passed on February 13th. 1895. and confirmed on February 12',h, 1896.—Mr Ivor James, registrar of the University, referred to the difficulty of getting a representation 011 tht, University Court of certificated teachers owing to the absence of a proper list of teachers revised up to date.—The Principal pointed out that the College was in possession of no funds to cover the cost of electing teachers' representa- tives.—The Rev. J. Morgan Jones proposed that the subject be referred back to the certificated teachers in order that they might formulate a scheme as to the conduct and cost of the election of certificatd teachers' representatives.—Mr C. T. Whitmell seconded the proposition, which was accepted by Mr Brockington, who said if the preparation of the list was entrusted to the proper hands, there need be no difficulty about getting the name of every certificated teacher iu every district at a week's notice.—The motion passed. THE BUILDING FUND. I Th a PRINCIPAL made a statement in reference to the progress of the building fund. He sud some tune ago he wrote to the Treasury to pay their second grant of £ 10,000 towards the College Building Fund in three instalment of B5,000, £ 2,500, and £ 2 500. The Treasury acquiesced in this and in November lai' the Council received I the first instalment of £ 5,000 to meet a similar amount raised by private subscriptions. Up to thas time the position was this the sum of £ 15 000^,1 f>d been collected, atid it had bepn met by £ 15.000 from the Treasury, making £ 30,000. Since tti-tt time he had been making an effort to get payment of a further sum uf L21500, in order that he might at once ask the Treasury to send them the second instalment of their second grant. Of promises aggregating £ 20,500 the sum of £16,780 had been paid. If he could get:C750 paid m the next week he should be in a position to receive from the Treasury a cheque for £ 2,500 and if by the end of March the remaining £2500 was paid, the whole £ 20,000, making £ 40.000 in all, would have been secured. As regarded the smaller sums promised, a great proportion of them had come in and he was very grateful for the way in which the appeal had been met. The need of a new building was daily increasing. The number of day students was 418, as against between 370 and 380 this time last year. (Applause.) I THE CATHATS PARK SCHEME. I At a later stage Mr C. T. Whitmell asked if the new buildings were likely to find their locale in the Cathays Park, and if the subject had been considered. The Chairman jocularly re- torted by asking if there was any other little question" which Me Whitmell would like to put, (Laughter.) He only wished that he knew if the new buildings would be situate at Cathays Park. He observed that the County Council seemed in earnest over the Cathays Park purchase, and when that was the case the thing might be considered done. (Laughter.)—The Principal said the subject could only come under the consideration of the College authorities through movement on the part of the Corporation,-Mr Richard Morris proposed—"That having heard that the Cardiff Council contemplate goiug into Cathays Park, steps be taken by the council of the College to approach the County Council of Cardiff upon the question of site," but on a point o procedure he withdrew his proposal. I DESIGNATION OF ltfR C. T. WHITMELL. the Ciiairnian referred, sympatheticaliv to the pandinr departure of Mr Whitmell, H.M.I.S., and proposed that the Court cause to be convtyed to that gent'eman an expression of its sincere regret, and of a cordial wish for his future happiness and prosperity. -Tii o proposition met with unanimous acceptance, and Mr Whitmell acknowledged the compliment. I SUGGESTED LAW DEPARTMENT. councillor Henry White (Cardiff) quotei from the minutes to the effeot that the Principal had reported that the Council and Senate were anxious to start a department of law if funds for that purpose were forthcoming. He (Mr White) urged that the establishment of such a depart- ment would be a great boon to the law students of the district. (Ut-ar. bear.) Cardiff, he added, was among the towns selected by the Incorporated Law Society for the holding of the preliminary examination.—The Chairman said the lawyers of the district should do as the doctors had done in the matter of the establishment of a medical department—put the project on a practical footing by starting a subscription list. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) I THL WELSH LIBRARY. Rev. R, Jeniiiii Jones (Aberdare) urged that the Welsh library at the College should be made mere useful by being made more accessible. He said the library was the most extensive and valuable Welsh library in existence.—Air Ivor James (Registrar of the Welsh University) was glad to hear the observations of Mr Jonkin Jones, than whom there was no one more competent to speak. He said the library was not intended exclusively for the students at the College, and while free access was given to it from outside, yet until better provision was made for ite housing and care, he was afraid the library could not be thrown open to the general public. —The Chairman said all students of Welsh history, language, and archaeology had every facility afforded them tor refereuca to the books m the Welsh library. ELECTION OF VICE-PBESIDENTS. Under section 1 of the supplemental charter the Court proceeded to elect two vics-prenidents. -The Mayor of Cardiff (Alderman E. Beavan) proposed Lord Windsor and Dr. W. T dwards. -Aldem-tan Aaron Davies seconded.—In support- ing the motiou, Bishop Hedlny said if it had not been for earnest and practical men lik", Dr. Edwards tbe College would not have been attended with such conspicuous success as it had been.—The proposition was unanimously and hsartily adopted. VACANCY ON THE COONCII* I Mr Thomas Williams, J.P., Gwaelodygarth, was elected tn fill the vacancy on the Council of the College caused by the death of the Rev. John Morris, D.D., principal of the Memorial the College caused by the death of the Rev. John Morris, D.D., principal of the Memorial .College, Brecon. REPRESENTATIVES ON UNIVERSITY COURT. I The next business was to elect for a period of three years four representatives on the Court of the University of Wales. In the result Lord Tredegar, Archdeacon Griffiths, Mr John Duncan, J.P., and Mr J. Austin Jenkins (registrar) were elected. THE QUXEN'S REIGN. On tho motion of the Chairman, seconded by the Muyor of Cardiff, it was resolved to present an addresi;I of congratulation to her Majesty the Queen on the occasion of the celebration of the 60bh yaar of her reign, and the Counoil were requested to prepare and forward snch an address. The next meeting of the Court was fixed for Wednesday, October 20th.

j SPORTING ITEMS.
SPORTING ITEMS. It is claimed for Seaport II. that he can stayfor ever. It will take Walters all his time to bring Quarrel to the post for the City and Suburban in proper racing trim. Barealwhey, like all the BarcaldineF, is troubled with a stitch In the temper, and is apt to "come it at his fences; It is not at. all unlikely thab in the Lincolnshire Handicap Marco will be ths top-weighs of the lot that will carry silk. I It is stated that Lord Wolverton and Mr Brasaev are to bp put. up for the Jockey Cltib at ¡ one of tbe Newmarket Spring meetings. Prose has never run withoub finishing in the first three except once, when lie had an unknown jockey on his baok, and au unknown price in the betting. Sufficient was seen of No at Nottingham to put him out of courb for the Grand National. He is a useful horse, and a clean leaper, but not up to National form. Spinning Boy (5 yearsj is reported from his training quarters as lame and unlikely to run in public again for a considerable time. Supporters of Galtee More think it curious that an Irish horse has never won the Derby. Bar- barian was the nearest to attaining that object when he ran second to Daniel O'Ruurke, with Hobbie Noble behind him. Chevy Chase, who has an engagement at Mancheste# next Monday, left Dublin yesterday I very fit and w«U. Admiration also took her I departure for Sandown. Mr Hermon-Hodge and Mr Mihnay are looking for a course for the House of Commons point-to- j point steeplechase. Over half a dozen invitations have already been received from more or It I I eligible neighbourhoods. The race will beheld ¡ about the 20th of next month. It seems that Wild Man from Borneo will, after all, be steered in the Grand National by his old pilot, Joe Widger, who, though one of the fiuest of cross-country riders, is, strange to say, very near-sighted. Mr Campbell will endeavour to repeat iiis last year's victory on Th? Soarer. One of the best outsiders for the Derby, though I unmentioned so far in the betting, is said to be Mr Joicey's Silver Fox, who is trained by Leader at Newmarket, where he is considered one of the most improved three year oId3 of the season. He is engaged also in the St. Leger, but not in the Two Thousand. He was never really fib last season. Cross and Downer are once more matched. At their last meeting they ran 300 yards on level terms, Downor betting odds on himself, and winning decisively. For the match under notice, which is fixed for March 20, the conditions MM entirely different, Downer conceding his opponent three yards in 158, for B50 aside. The best looking horse that ran for the Newark Steeplechase yesterday at Colwick Park was WickloWi and he would have had something to do I with the finish but for nearly coming down at the Hall fence. He is a horse distinctly to be watched. Twice Two ran w-,Il, bat for the last half nnle ouiy Coenraad and Joan of Arc were in the PC. Mr Sidney lancing his mount a ready nnner at last. Truth expects that Mr Lorillard's colours will be worth following this season, and the running of his horses will be watched with much interest,, as they are being trained on the American í system, over a round track, which their owner has caused to be laid out at Hare Park, near Newmarket; and their work cannot be over- looked, as the place has been carefully fenced in all round. Many people will be curious bo see how horres which have undergone a preparation on a circular track will like the change to- a straight course when it comes to racing. Kosmos, one of the three light-weights in Robinson's half-dozen tor the Lincolnshire, about which some people speak knowingly, is a four year old fiily handicapped at 6st. 31b. Last July she won t he Irish Oaks, beating Rmvanny at even weights, but her Rubsequent form was poor, the best she could do being 00 finish third to Whiston and Dargas in the Shifnal Stakes at Birmingham in August. Seeing that Whiston was con- ceding 8ib and beat the filly by three leng,lbs, there is no encouragement to stand her to win the Carholme race, in which, should she run, she is certain to be opposed by a fieid of high-class handicapped horses. There may be latent merit in Kosmos, for the produce of her P_ sire, AthelinL,are doing well just now, Athcliath and Athel Roy both being his sons. Atheling l was bred at YfirdW, and is by Sterling, his dam ) i beine: a, sister to King Alfred, who ran second to Blue Gown in the Derby of 1868, and be is full brother to Enterprise, the Two Thousand Guineas winner of 1887, who was also bred by the I Messrs Graham. For the Cesarewitch of 1836, [ won by Stone Clink, Atheling started j Becond favourite at 11 to 2, and a lot of monev S would have been won iu Birmingham had he I proved successful; but, although be had been | very highly tried, he failed to stay.

OUTRAGES ON ITALIANS. A Band of Fanatios, NEW YOSK, Saturday.—The New York Heralfc Rio de Janeiro correspondent telegraphs that the Italian Minister there has presented new and heavy claims on account of outrages 011 Italian subjeots in Brazil. The following despatch has been communicated to Reuteil,. Agency by the Brazilian Legation 'Rio Janeiro, Wednesday .—The telegraphic new.- from New York on the subject of alleged grave disorders in the State of Bahia art singularly incorrect and exaggerated. In the far interior of that State, which is almost a desert and covered with immense virgin forests, a certain religions fanatic and empiric of the name ot* Conselheirc has for a number of years past gathered together some hundreds of miaentbtt. people who follow him blindly, awl under his leadership live a nomadic life, Vagabonds and malefactors from neighbouring states have joined him, and constitute a danc gerous element in respect of pillage and depreda* tions. These bands, being at a considerable distance from the centres of population, have hitherto been able to resist the police forces sent in pursuit for The purpose of dispsrsing so far all possible without bloodshed. Although they cannot disturb really the normal life of the country nor affect its credi, the Government mast none the less enforce respect for law, and it has resolved to disperse these people who have been led astray by the fanaticism of their leader. To this end it is e-ploying the nroessary means, and the internal order of the State of Bahia will before long be coirplaoely restored."—Reuter. • ?**M*
