NOT SETTLED YET. Bad News for Ferndale Coiiiers. NO. 4 PIT TO BE CLOSED. 800 Men Will be Thrown Out of Work. We are authoritatively informed that at the meeting of the Coalowners' Emergency Com- mittee held in Cardiff on Monday, Messrs. David Davis and Sons reported to their col- leagues on the committee that, in consequence of the continued loss sustained by them in carry- ing on No. 4 Pit, Ferndale, for some time past, md the serious expense which would be in. tolved in its re-opening after the strike, thecom- tajiy have resolved not to resume operations at his pit. About 800 men are thus deprived of mployment. A PROCESSION DISPERSED. Can Strikers Armed with Clubs be on a Peaceful Errand. A large procession of strikers started from Pontypridd*this morning to march through the Bhondda Valley to Pentre for the purpose of ittending a mass meeting to be held there at nidday. It is reported that an attempt was made by the processionists to cross Cymmer bridge at Porth. with a view of going along the Dinas road to pass the Penygraig Collieries .here the men are working. A ordon of police and military were -rawn up across the bridge in order o stop them. The men, it is said, took man- Arils and other weapons in order to try and force their way across the bridge, but were repulsed by the military. The procession then took the shortest route along Cemetery-road, through Trealaw, avoiding Penygraig, and on to Pentre. It is understood that the police had taken precautions to guard Cymmer Bridge in the morning, because a rumour was prevalent on Monday night that the men intended passing the Penygraig Collieries, in order to make a de- monstration there, and that another section would go along the Tonyrefail-road to the house coal collieries that are working in the Ely valley. Whatever the intentions of the men, therefore, were in that respect, they have been frustrated, the contingent having been switched on to a quiet country roadway. Our Pontypridd reporter telegraphs On visiting Porth at midday I found all quiet, but there was a good deal of talk about the scene which took place on Cymmer Bridge in the morning. It seems that a very large procession was formed at Porth to join the lot coming up from Pontypridd. Inspector Davies and three ?.. police-officers guarded the Cymmer Bridge, and, r in order to prevent the mob gomg to Penygiaig, £ lest they might interfere with_ the men working there, they directed tnat the proces- I sion must take the high road through Trealaw. The men declared that they were going on a peaceful march to Pentre, but the inspector pointed to the huge clubs they carried, and replied that those were not indicative of peace- ful intentions. Some of the procession insisted in taking the road they wished, and threatened to write to the Home Secretary. One man made a move as if to strike the inspector, who then called upon the military to back him up. The 1 l.nt neither did or said military closed u p, DIM I- anything except closing behind P The crowd still threatened and hooted vocife- rously, but ultimately turned and went up the other road. The police and the military tried to interrupt them again at Treaiaw, lest they might interfere with the mass TVpflaw Llwynypia, but the procession reached Trealaw Bridge and crossed to Llwynypia, • and military following. The J .P men were gathering, but pT,„ then attained any great f' f The procession then passed through quiet y I Pentre. It is not true that those in the proces- f sion carried mandrils, as rumoured. It is now I stated they will march on to Treherbert, where the Fernhill men are working, and the military ,I from Porth have been sent up. I hear that the Llwvnypia. men have decided to begin work to-morrow. The house coal men of Ely and Mid- Rhondda are working in larger numbers than on Monday. The Glyn Colliery is working to-day.

MASS MEETING AT PENTRE. The Colliers Receive a Letter from the Home Secretary. In accordance with the resolutions passed a Monday's meeting on Pontypridd Common to hold mass meetings daily, the colliers of the Rhondda, Maesteg, Garw, Ferndale, Porth, Mardv, Merthyr, and Neath commenced march- ing at an early hour to Pentre this morning. The majority of the processionists had arrived at Pentre by 11.30. The mass meeting was held in the field. At the close the following official re- port was supplied to the press There were 25,000 present, and speeches were delivered con- F demnatory of the colliers starting work. The | resolutions at Monday's meetmg emplia- f sised, "Mabon's" actions and attitude criti- i cised, and a denial given by the chairman to Mr. I D. A. Thomas's statements in this morning s papers. A letter was read from the Home Secretary stating that the standing joint com- mittee of the county or council of the borough hire £ 'constables, and will have pay for them. As for I. the police,' the standing committee also pays | the extra expenditure incurred by the War Office ?' for troops brought in on application. it was L announced at the meeting that the Llantrisant f: workmen refused to work till the majority go m i: also that the Glamorgan and Llwynpia men are r going in on Wednesday, and Tylorstown went m [ on Monday evening. The meeting was over by I- two o'clock. The proceedings were most orderly. At the commencement of the meeting the Chair- man announced the fact to the meeting, and was met with the question, Can he tell the truth ? -The Chairman said "Yes the South Wales << the acknowledged liar." A MASS MEETING. Brynmawr Strikers Condemn the Ballot. A mass meeting of nearly 4,000 men, princi- pally from Blaina and Abertillery, was held near Brynmawr this morning, when resolutions were manimously passed condemning the action of Ae committee who arranged for the ballot, and teciding to take no part in it, and deter- oining to strike until the 20 per cenc. was con- .eded. Headed by a brass band, the strikers taraded through Brynmawr to Blaenavon. The military have passed over the mountain from Ebbw Vale, and, after parading Brynmawr, re- turned thereto, via Beaufort. BLAENAVON MINERS. i The Action Upsets the Calculations I OT a Mass Meeting. I A large procession arrived in Blaenavon at p noon to-day from Blaina. Nantyglo, and Aber- tillery, and was joined by strikers from Ponty- 11001 and the eastern valleys of Monmouthshire, yho wended their way to the sides of the Coity- dll and there held a masis meeting' to Dnsidcr the position of affairs, especially in Sew of the tendency of some of the Blaenavon F aen to resume work, and the actual resumption I it operations on the part of some of ,he labourers and repairers in the various pits of the company. The press was admitted, on condition that the names of the speakers were not given. After some dis- cussion, the usual resolution was passed pledging the various collieries not to resume work until the 20 per cent. outside of the sliding-scale was granted. Some of the Blaenavon men opposed the motion by a show of hands, and it was de- cided that they should be all allowed to withdraw to ascertain amongst themselves whether they could be parties to such a reso- htioB. They accordingly withdrew to a neighbouring hill, and it was at length announced that the vote was abont equal, but that there appeared to be a majority of the Blaenavon men in favour of working. The announcement was greated with considerable dissatisfaction on the part of the men from the other districts. It was suggested that the pro- cession should move to the various Blaenavon collieries, and call out the men then working, and that on Wednesday morning a demonstra- tion should be organised to visit the Cwmbran Colliery, and also the Hollobush pit, near Bed- wellty Church.

Since the meeting of the emergency commit- tee was held this afternoon the secretary of the Coalowners' Association has learnt that the steam co d men collier?, as well as hauliers, have indicated their desire t) resume work to-morrow morning, and everything will be made so as to admit of this. Intimidation at Llantwit. It will be remembered that on Monday morn- ing a number of men gathered at the pit top at Llantwit to endeavour to prevent the workmen descending, but the crowd dispersed upon the appearance of Mr. Taylor, and the men went to work. In the evening, however, when the men were leaving, a large crowd collected, and a number of men were hustled, and some insulted. One man, named Morgan, was last night arrested on a. charge of assault and intimidation, and is now in the cells at Pontypridd, Police-station awaiting the hearing of the case to-morrow morning. This morning again a large crowd collected round the pit tops, but owing to the prompt action taken oil Monday night there was no disturbance. A Month for Intimidation. At Tredegar Police-court this morning a <-11 nx-S labourer, named Edward Adams, was couiMiitted to Uslc for one month, with hard labour, on a charge of intimidating Robert Wallis, a labourer employed at the Powell Duffryn No. 1 Pit, New Tredegar, by intecept- ing him while proceeding to work on Friday evening, the 25th inst. Adams was formerly a haulier. Aberdare Likes the Military. The Aberdare magistrates this morning de- cided to ask the Home Secretary to allow the military to remain in the district during the continuation of the strike. WHAT THE HAULIERS WANT. Twenty Per Cent-Nothing More- Nothing Less. One of our representatives on Monday inter- viewed a haulier who was returning from the mass meeting at Pontypridd, and the following colloquy ensued :— What are you fighting for ?" Twenty per cent." Twenty per cent. advance on the standard, or 20 per cent. advance on your present wages ?" We are asking for 20 per cent., and that's good enough." Then you are fighting for 20 per cent. only P" Yes, 20 per cent. we are out for, and we are going to have it." Have you any idea what an increase of 20 per cent. would mean in your wages ?" No. I don't trouble myself about that. Our leaders are working that out for us, and if you want to know anything more you had better ask them." The man interviewed then turned on his heel and wended his weary way homewards.

A LANCASHIRE OUTRAGE. Colliers Arrested for Throwing an Explosive into a Garden. During Church service on Sunday an inexpli- cable outrage was committed by colliers at the village of Euxton, near Chorley. A large cartridge, supposed to be tonite, was thrown into the garden in front of Mr. John Driver's farmhouse. Mrs. Driver heard a man shout, It won't go off." Going to the door she saw something smoking, and, being afraid, she turned to close the door, when a loud explosion occurred. The front windows were shattered, and a considerable hole was made in the ground. Mrs. Driver had a very narrow escape. Four colliers were arrested.

Cyclists Must Keep to the Road At Cardiff Police-court this afternoon Mr. W. H. Beavan was summoned for riding Lis bicycle on the footpath in Corporation-road on Monday. —Mr. Fra,nk Williams, for the defence, said that the road was in such a bad state that if his client had ridden on the road he would either have broken his neck or his machine. There was no one in sight at the time.—Defendant was fined 10< and costs. Fines varying from 5s. to 15s. and costs were inflicted upon the following persons for riding on the footpath and also for riding without lights Horace Oaten, William Brown,William Evans, John Gibbs, Frederick Every (for riding without a light), Frank Tooley, and Charles Taylor.

Breakage Causes Stoppage. The 8.30 train from Nottinghom to Leicester broke down this morning near Kegworth through a slight breakage in the engine. The exprehd train stopped for the convenience of passengers at Leicester, but the ordinary traffic was delajed for some time. j

PENLLERGARc. PEN L J,:{ h c. The Death of the Populap Heir. FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. The funeral of the late Mr. W. D. Llewelyn will take place to-day (Tuesday) at Penllergaer Churchyard. The cortege will start from the house at 2.30 p.m. The churchyard is situated at the edge of the Penllergaer Park nearest the public roadside. Although the funeral will be pri- vate from the house, Sir John has expressed his desire not to prevent any persons attending at the churchyard to pay their last respects to the deceased. A number of friends of the family from a distance are expected at Penllergaer to-day, amongst them being Lord Dynevor, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, and the Hon. Mr. Rice, The last-named comes down from Argyllshire. A Pathetic Picture. In a leader on the sad tragedy at Penllergare, the Daily Telegraph says :—" No element of pathos is wanting to complete a picture which must appeal to the sympathies of every human heart with irresistible force. The bridegroom who was about to lead his fair fiancee to the altar has been struck down in death and upon the tragedy which has laid her life waste we can but drop the curtain of silence, as her grief is too sacred to be invaded even by the most sympa- thetic and tender of words. The heir to the Llewelyn baronetcy and estates was as manly as his ancient race, which traces its descent from the proudest name in Welsh history, and he was also as win- ning and gracious in manner as the young hero of Sir Walter Scott's charming Welsh novel of The Betrothed.' lVIr. Llewelyn's approach- ing marriage to a fair daughter of the house of Dynevor had awakened the greatest rejoicings in the counties of Glamorgan and Carmarthen as, with the constitutional jealousy of their English neighbours for which the sturdy inhabi- tants of North and South Wales have long been renowned, there is nothing which affords them more gratification than to see their noblest and most respected families linked together by matrimonial ties. In an instant all these fair and promising hopes have been rudely shat- tered. Accidents in the Field. The Daily Telegraph writes on the numerous casualties which befall sportsmen in the field in these days. "During the last few years," it says shooting accidents have been of such frequent occurrence, that in one of the most fashionable clubs of the West-end—a club not exceeding- 800 members in number—there are said at this moment to be no fewer than ten members who bear in their faces evidences of having been maimed or marked by gunshot wounds. Since the substitution of the breech- loader for the muzzle-loader the increase in shooting accidents has been alarmingly great. In the more careful days of old, when shooting was confined to comparatively few, and when many owners of pheasant coverts refused to allow any of their guests to shoot with more than one gun, which each was com- pelled to load for himself, accidents were almost unknown. Those were the times when such such famous shots as the old Sir John Shelley- the racing confederate of the fifth Earl of Jersey -and Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, afterwards first Earl of Leicester, would compel one of their guests who bad fired a dangerous shot to surrender his gun and walk unarmed with the beaters for the rest of the day." A Sad Record. Sir John T. D. Llewelyn, in the course of conversation with a press representative, said It is just about fifteen years ago that I lost my eldest son, who was drowned in Caswell Bay in a storm which suddenly arose while he was bathing, the swell preventing him from reaching the shore, as he was not a strong enough swim- mer. I found his body myself as the clocks were striking midnight. His other brother died in infancy, and now Willie has gone, and only Charlie is left." Who can grasp all that is con- veyed in those few pathetic words ? Action of Volunteers. We understand that at the funeral of Mr Llewelyn to-day (Tuesday) the bearers will con- sist of eight men of the deceased captain's com- pany of the 3rd Glamorgan Rifle Volunteers, and six workmen on the estate. A magnificent wreath has been ordered by the 3rd Glamorgan Rifle Volunteers, with the Prince of Wales's plume as the device, and the officers will all attend the funeral. Colonel Pike speaks in the highest terms of the young officer as one of the most hardworking and promising in the corps. He showed especial zeal during the week at Aldershot. In Volunteer circles his loss will be greatly felt.

NO UNPLEASANTNESS. There Will Not be a Suspension of Spillers' Mills. We have received the following letter with reference to the report contained in our columns on Monday as to the rumoured intended stoppage of Messrs. Spillers' mills at Cardiff :— SIB,—We, the undersigned employes of Messrs. Spillers and Bakers (Limited), desire.to emphatically contradict several statements made in your issue of the 28th inst. with reference to the notice which has been posted at the mills, and purporting to emanate from an "an old and intelligent employe of the above firm. Such statements would,if allowed to go uncontradicted, give an entirely erroneous impression to the public respecting the state of affairs at the mills. Now sir, your informant states that the mills have been running night and days for years. Quite right, but he does not mention the fact that every six weeks the mills are stopped, when a thorough inspection is made and all necessary repairs carried out. He also forgets to inform your representative that a large and efficient staff of mechanics are kept in constant em- ployment to attend to and keep the mills in perfect working order, and the mills we never in better condition than at present. As to the furnace bars being burnt out, such a state ment is obviously too ridiculous to be seriously dealt with. Again, with reference to the rela- tions between the firm and employes, we can testify to the good feeling which exists at pre- sent, and are not aware of any foundation what- ever for the insinuating statements made to your representative with respect to unpleasantness existing between masters and men. The old and intelligent employe" gives it as his opinion that the stormy petrels" and lazy and inefficient hands will be weeded out. We are inclined to think this old and intelligent employe" must be one of the lazy and inefficient hands himself, and fear your reporter's observing powers must be very defective indeed, or he would never have designated his informant intelligent. Old he may be, and possibly approaching second child- hood. We believe so, and are strengthened in our belief when he informs your representative that the stoppage of the mills will not involve any loss to the proprietors. It is clear to any one with an average amount of brains that a stoppage, even if the sales go on as usual, must involve loss, no matter how large the stock may be (and it is not nearly so large as stated by the- old and intelligent employe." As to the piece work, the mill and warehouse hands never do piece-work, and they are in a large majority. In conclusion, we beg to thank you in anticipation for inserting this, and regret that we have tres- possed so much on your valuable space.-We are, &c., T. WADE, E. HUTT, E. WHITE, F. JENNINGS, F. W. POWELL, A. BALL, S. MARSH, A. GARRETT, E. BARTER, T. HALL, E. ROWLANDS, WM. H. HAINBB, W. PITMAN, W. MULLETT, J. GARLAND, J. STONE, A. BUSSEY, E. HASLE, G. PARKER, EDWIN BAKER, W.

Protecting the 'Bus Horse. At Cardiff Police-court this afternoon (before Mr. T. W. Lewis, stipendiary Dr. Paine, and Alderman D. E. Jones) Thomas Clevedon. aged 48, a 'bus driver in the employ of the Cardiff General Omnibus Company, was charged with ill-treating a horse by working it while in an un- fit state on the 28th inst. in Bute-street. The horse appeared to be in pain, and on examina- tion an open wound was found on the shoulder. He was fined £5 and cotte, cr a month.

PARLIAMENT., To-day's Proceedings in the Commons. There was a small attendance of hon. members when the Speaker took the chair at five minutes past three. Notice had been given of 33 questions. DUKE OF CONNAUGHT AND THE ALDERSHOT COMMAND. Mr. BURNIE (L., Snansea) asked the Secre- tary of State for War whether it was correct that the Duke of Connaught had been appointed to the chief command of the army at Aldershot; and, if so, on what grounds he had been selected for this important position. Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERM.1N (Secretary for War) said the Duke of Connaught had been selec-rad by the Commander-in-chief for the posi- tion on account of his fitness fcr the duties, and from the fact that he was practically the senior available officer. His Royal Highness was an officer of varied experience, both in regimental and staff duties, and he had filled with credit very hig-h positions, including that of com- aiander-in-chief in Bombay. Mr. ELLAN ((?.. Gateshead) asked when the Dnke of Connaught held the Portsmouth com- madd how many months in the year he was absent from duties. Mr. DALZIEL (G., Kirkcaldy), asked whether the Duke of Connaught would receive at Alder- shot the salary of a general or a lieutenant- general. Sir. ALPHEUS MORTON (G., Peterborough) asked what the right hon. gentleman meant by saying that the Duke of Connaught was prac- tically the senior officer. Also would he say what experience he had had in real fighting. ('- Oil," and hear, heer.)

In the face of a total of 334 Derbyshire had ou Mon day evening lost two wickets for 31 runs, and on plaj being resumed this morning L. G. Wright, Davidson and Hulme were so soon got rid of that with five mei out the score was only 75, Then, however, Storei stayed with Chatterton, and a much better stand waf ■ made, 120 going up without further loss, There was some rapid scoring after lunch, but a quarter of ai hour's cricket proved sufficient to finish off tht innings for 232, Evershed being bowled and Walkei caught at deep third man.

The weather was again beautifully fine when play was resumed this morning at Brighton, at twenty-five minutes to twelve, and the wicket seemed faster and better than before. Having scored 51 for one wicket against Kent's total of 352, Sussex went on batting with Bean and Murdoch. Mason and Wright began the bowling, but they were punished with great free- dom, Bean hitting with an amount of brilliancy that roused the spectators to a high pitch of enthusiasm. When he had scored 57 Bean was missel at mid-off, and he continued his hitting until 144, when he was splendidly caught at point with the right hand. The partnerships had yielded 111 runs. Bean's most brilliant 89, which lasted an hour and forty minutes, included fourteen 4's, three 3's, and six 2's. Wil- son was thrown out by Marchant. One run after Wilson's departure Murdoch was easily caught at point for an admirable 54, in which he hit eight 4's, two 3's, and two 2's. Newham and Brann hit freely and well, and remained together until the luncheon interval, which was taken at half-past one. On resuming at twenty minutes past two there was a capital ring of spectators. Newham and Brann again played exceedingly well, and increased the score at a rapid rate. It was not until 263 that Brann was clean bowled. Score .— KENT. First innings. Second innings. J. R. Mason, c Bean, b Humphreys 48 Alec Hearne, c Bean, b Humphreys 34 Geo. Hearne, b Brann 29 Rev. W.

In this match at Manchester the whole of Monday was occupied by the curious ilinings of Notts, in which although two men made over 100, the total amounted to only 289. This morning at 25 minutes to twelve the Lancashire innings was opened by Ward and M'Lareu, who had to face the bowling of Mee and Attewell. Eight runs came from the first bowler's first over, and 10 from his second, but the pace slackened afterwards. The innings having been in progaess 25 minutes, when the score stood at 33, M'Laren was bowled and Sugg was out first ball. Briggs came in next, and at once began hitting, whilst Ward played a fine, resolute game. The score reached 50 at twenty minutes past twelve. Attewell retired in favour of Wilkinson, but the hitting con- tinued, and at 76 Flowers took the ball from Mee, 80 runs being obtained in an hour. Score:- NOTTS. First innings. Second innings. J. A.

A TERRIBLE NIGHT AT SEA The Seminole's Passengers Will Carry a Vivid Picture. A Dalziel'B telegram rom Charleston says:- The Clyde steamship Seminole, bound from New York to Florida, met with a frightful experience during a gale on Wednesday night last. She carried 94 passengers. The hurricane struck the vessel off Cape Delaware at eight o'clock on Wednesday night. The wind was blowing at the rate of 80 miles an hour from the north- east, and so continued for five hours, the sea running mountains high, and the barometer falling from 30'32 to 29'16. Oil in bags was hung out, but it seemed to have little effect upon the raging waters. The man at the wheel for a moment lost control of the vessel, when a huge wave struck her just abaft the purser's state- room ..liftingthe lifeboat off the davits,and crushing in its iron sides. In smashing in the port rail the entire side of the cabin went by the board with a crash. The wave then continued its way aft, sweeping the steamer s chairs overboard and smashing the after railing. The saloon was flooded with water and the furniture nearly destroyed. All the passengers' staterooms were deluged with water, as were the first and second cabins. The scene was one of frightful con- fusion. Amid the ebrieks of the women cries were heard of "The ship is sinking. All the passengers hurried out in their night clothes, and a mad rush was made for the life- preservers. The Rev. Mr. Weissman, a Jewish rabbi, was kept in his state room by pressure of the water, which reached up to hie neck. A young woman was washed under the lower berth of her state room and had a narrow escape of drowning. When the storm abated the passen- gers held a meeting in the cabin, and passed re- solutions complimenting Captain Robinson, of the Seminole, on the coolness and courage he bad uisplayed in this trying emergency. 'they also subscribed a sum of money to be expended in the purchase of a gold cup to be presented to him.

ARRESTED FOR SPIES. The Prussian Police Think They Are On the Right Track. A Dalziel telegram from Kiel says ;—The two Frenchmen who were arrested on Monday on board the pleasure yacht Insect deny they are French officers. They produced passports issued at Paris, made out in the names of Raoul Dubois, a landowner, and Maurice Da i a commercial traveller. The drawings of r ■ or- tifications of Kiel and Wilbelmshafeu l'o;u,d in their possession have, however, evidently been executed by experts, so that the Prussian police seem to have been on the right track ii) arresting the two so-called excursionists.

SPORTING CHAT. -10- Gossipy Paragraphs of the Turf and the Field. The odds on Monday rose to 85 to 40 on Isin- glass for the St. Leger. Ravensbury was quiet in town for the St. Leger on Monday at 100 to to 14, but Phooion was well backed at 100 to 8. Bar three, 25 to 1 was freely offered. Tom Emmett and George Ulyett, who have both served Yorkshire for 21 years, are doing duty in the first of the Scarborough Cricket Fes- tival, matches which commenced yesterday. Brandy, in spite of her late poor form, re- mains a strong favourite abroad, and fancy what a state bookmaking has arrived at when a horse is quoted at 18 to 1 for the Cesarewitch weeks before the weights appear. The Australians met a mixed team at Black- pool on Monday and had much the be&t of a short day's play. Going' in first they completed an innings for 205, while six of the home side have been got rid of for only 23 runs. Although a very moderate lot of horses ran behind Glengall in the Kimboltou Welter at Huntingdon last week he won easily enough, and his victory has enhanced the chances of Phocion for the St. Leger. Backers should remember that it is not diffi- cult for horsee to reach Derby at the eleventh hour, and the overnight arrival list published in the morning papers is, therefore, hardly a strict criterion as to what is on the spot. Mr. Henry KimLer, M.P., is offering- for com petition to the various football clubs in Wands- worth a Twenty-guinea Challenge Cup, to be held by the winning club for one year, together with badges for the individual me bers of the successful team. In order to allow clubs play- ing either Rugby or Association rule? to com- pete, it has been decided that the cup shall go the club scoring the highest number of points during the season.

POCKET TELEPHONES. Northern Policemen Supplied With These for Use in Case of Fire. An adaptation of portable electric appliances, analag-ous to the electric light worn in the button- hole of a 'bus inspector, is a pocket telephone which has been supplied to some policemen in the North. It is a light and handy appliance, being a combined mouthpiece and earpiece, with a short length of wire, a pin. and a key. It is to be used in connection with fire alarms, which are placed at various parts of the policeman's beats. Instead of breaking the gJass the constable opens the case with a key, fixes with the pin the wire, and is then enabled to speak with the. fire station. This is only the precursor of stations at which policemen will be able to re- points to a central station. I, port themselves by word n; month from fixed

THE ENGLISH COAtf WAR. | Miners and Navvies in Conflict at Chesterfield. SEPARATED BY POLICE. ? -— '-i The Press Association Chesterfield correspon« dent telegraphs :-The miners of Killamarsh created such a disturbance on Monday that the police were on the scene early this morning to prevent any recurrence of the rioting. It ap* pears that on Monday a number of men, chiefly navvies, were loading stock coal into trucks at Holbrook Colliery when the miners, several, hundred strong, assailed the loaders witit stones, causing them to beat a hasty retreat. Some policemen were soon on the scene, but they, too, were receivecl" with volley after volley of large stones, and several were injured. The rioting did not cease until midnight, by which time the collierTotliOOlt, had been almost demolished. This morning the miners are marching about threatening what-; they will do if the navvies make any further gi attempt to load, but as the police are being gradually strengthened the chance of a. renewal of the disturbance is diminished. Outbreaks are, however, feared at other collieries,, especially while the distress is so keen. COALOWNERS MEET. They Discuss in Private Resolutions Submitted by the Men. A specially-convened meeting of the coal« owners' federation was held this afternoon at the Westminster Palace Hotel, in order to con- sider the resolution submitted tp the coalowners by the representatives of the men at the recent conference of the miners' federation of Great Britain. The proceedings were strictly private. A committee meeting was held at half past one, and the conference of the coalowners, which will not commence jnntil three o'clock, will probably last for about ån hour. Words from the Miners1 1 Secretary. i Mr. Ashton, the secretary of the Miners* 1 federation, addressing the South Lancashire miners at Ashton this morning, said the 1Jhn themselves and not the leaders objected to the proposed reduction of wages. Arbitrations had never had satisfactory results, though mine- owners might desire it. The battle would in., volve miners in sacrifice and suffering i'ha speaker concluded by moving a resolution; piedginO resistance to arbitration, and demand-' ing ohe abolition of Royalty rents. Mr. WOODS, M.P., supporting the resolution, sa.id there wa £ a masters' meeting in London this «terve- 'a million persons into submission, and no oivilised Government should rllow such a' state of things as that. The men only demanded a living wage, and he con- sidered the proposal to defer the application for a further advance till the coal prices improved was fair.-The resolution was adopted. Northerners Object to a Levy. The Northumberland miners this morning, by a large majority, voted against any levy beint made in aid of the federation colliers on strike, The proposals to grant a donation were alsc vetoed. Distress in Leicestershire. In the Leicestershire coalfields great distress prevails, but the men express a determination to light to the end. It is complained that coal is being raised from some pits, and the federation are urged to call the enginemen out. The Ballot of the Durham Men. The Press Association Durham correspondent telegrams :—The official return of the miners' ballot issued this morning shows that 20,872 votes were recorded in favour of striking, and 19;104 for continuing at work, giving a majority of 1,078 for a strike. This, however, being below the two-thirds majority is insufficient to carry the vote; and the men will, therefore, continue at work. The Durham miners' executive have asked the owners for an advance of wages.

A POLICEMAN SUSPENDED. His Case will be Investigated by thQ 'f Watch Committee. At Cardiff Police-court this afternoon (before Mr. T. W. Lewis, stipendiary Dr. Paine, anc Alderman D. E. Jones) Charles Fisher, a re- spectably-dressed young man of 23, waa brought up charged with being disorderly anc assaulting Police-constable George Thompson (134), in tft. Mary-street, about 10.15 on Monday night, the 28th of August. Police-constable Thompson said the prisoner, with & couple of other men, was annoying an old man in St. Mary-street on Monday night.
