Patching Up the International Team.

TRANSFORMING INTO FLATS. Novel Use for a Merthyr Catholic Church. We leara that the Roman Catholic Church in Georgetown will, when the new edifice has become ready, towards the end of the summer, be applied to a use novel, at all events, ee far as this part of the country is concerned. Mr. Rees, the contractor engaged in constructing the new church, has purchased the old building, and it is his intention, we believe, to transform it into flats, suitable fer the occupation of the working claesee. The idea, it seems, is to divide the church into separate dwellings, each complete in itself, and all served by a ewnraen staircase, or inclined plane. The experiment will be an interesting one, and, doubtless, will be popular with the class directly affected.

REPRESENTATION OF MERTHYR. There seems to be an impression prevalent among some of the Radicals of the Merthyr Boroughs that the resolution, of the Conservar tive party to contest the constituency has been inspired by a suspicion that Mr. Pritchard-Morgan is likely to resign his seat before the dissolution of the present Parlia- ment. This, says our Merthyr correspondent, is au entire misapprehension, for suun tingency as the junior member's premature resignation was in no way contemplated when on Tuesday the party decided to run a candidate, their course of action being dic- tated solely by tOie considerations that a general election may possibly be sprung upon the country within the next few months, and that it is well to be prepared in time so as to be able to make a good fight. Mr. Pritchard Morgan has been sounded by a press representative aa to whether he oon- ben-plates retiring or not, and be has given an emphatic assurance that he means to hold ou. Mr. Alfred Davies, of Hampstead, is credited with a determination to come for- ward at the next election whate'er betides, but definite information upon this point, will probably be forthcoming in a few days, because the London alderman, it is reported, has arranged to pay a visit to Merthyr in the course of the ensuing week. Mr. Allen Upward, in an interview given to a Merthyr pressman, intimates that he is willing to present himself again as a candi- date if the working men desire his services, but that the only ground upon which he could come forward would be that neither of the sitting members sufficiently identified himself with the cause of labour.

MADAME PATTI. The Daily News says :-A report has during the past week been current that Messrs. Harri- son had arranged with Mr. Irving for three special performances of opera with Mada.me Patti as prima doana at the Lyoeum this sum- mer. We have authority to pay that the news is very premature, although there is a strong possibility that Madame Patti will introduce to London this season Signer Pizzi's one-act opera, Gabriella," which she has already played in the United States.

Juvenile Fancy Dress Ball at Cardiff. On Friday evening Mrs. Ken way gave her annual fancy dress ball to her juvenile pupils at the Lesser Park-hall, Cardiff. The hall was very handsomely decorated, and the attendance was large. The programme was riot a long one, dancing commencing at eix aud concluding just after eleven o'clock. After the first part of the programme had been gone through several fancy dances were executed by Mrs. Kenway's pupils ia a manner which did great credit to their teacher. An old Spanish dance, Cachouoa," was given by Miss Gladys Phillips and Miss Florence Davenport a skirt dance by the Misses Violet Phillips, Amy Coward, Daisy Davenport, and Phyllis James an old Court minuet by Miss Daisy and Master Percy Riches, and a scarf da.nce and reel by a number ef the pupils. The dresses were exceedingly pretty and novel, and presented a striking effect. Amongst the ladies and gentle- men present were Mrs. Morgan Williams, Mrs. wid Miss Coward. Mrs. Howard Davenport, Mrs. Pearce, Miss Williams, Mrs. James, Mrs. a.nd Miss North, Mr. T. F. North, Mr. A. North, Mrs. Mullin, Mr. and Mrs. Coward, Mrs. E. Fletcher, Mr. and Mrs. F.

Williams, the Misses Wake, Mr. Malcolm Grant, Mr. Gibson, Mrs. Mackenzie Thomas, Miss Cotterell, &c.

Ecclesiastical Intelligence. On Thursday the new St. Illtyd Church, in the ecclesiastical parish of St. Margaret's, Mountain Ash, was formally opened. The Venerable Archdeacon Griffiths preached an excellent sermon in the morning, and the Rev. Canon Roberts, of Llandaff, in the evening. Both services were very well attended.

Winding-up Penarth Building Society. It has been decided to wind-up the Penarth Building Society. After discharging all liabili- ties there will remain a surplus of JS170 for divi- sion. It has been decided that the trustees (Colonel Gntbrie and Mr. H. Snell) should be voted ten guineas each for the valuable services rendered as trustees. 11 ¿f

Death of a Balaclava Hero. Edwin Leaney, of the 13th Light Dragoons, has just died at Maidstone, his birthplace. He was a participator in the famous charge at Balaclava, from which he escaped unscathed, although he had his horse shot under him.

Illness of Mr. Travail, Cardiff. On inquiring at Mr. Richard England's, Park- place, Cardiff, late on Friday night, our repre- sentative was informed that, although Mr. Travell was still very weak, he was on Friday able to take a little nourishment, and aoneared to be slkrhtlv better.

CARDIFF EXHIBITION. Lord Bute Offers a Site in Cathays Park. A meeting of the Cardiff Exhibition Commit- tee was held on Friday evening at the Town- hall, Cardiff, nnder the presidency of the -mayor (Councillor W. J. Trounce). There were also present Councillor Edward Thomas and Mr. John Ballinger.—The Chairman remarked that he had called upon Sir William Thomas Lewis ] on Thursday, who had then said that Lord Bute was quite willing to allow them a site in Cat- hays Park. Mr. Ballinger had since received 1 the following letter :— C Aberdare, South Wales, January 25,1894. ] Dear Sir,—Your letter of the 12th instant to the Marquess of Bute, with sketch of the Cardiff Arms] Park, has been forwarded to me for attention, and I < now beg leavo to inform you that, while Lord Bute 1 I is unable to entertain your suggestion for granting a site for establishing the proposed exhibition at the i northern end of Cardiff Arms Park, I hare to-day ( informed his Worship the Mayor of Cardiff that a j site for the purpose will be placed at his disposal on the south-eastern portion of Cathaj^s Park, with 1 access from Park-place. W. THOMAS LEWIS. £ the south-eastern portion of Cn.thays Park, with 1 access from Park-place. W. THOMAS LEWIS. £ -On the proposition of Councillor Edward ] Thomas, it was resolved that the best thanks of i the committee be tendered to Lord Bute, and 1 that the letter be referred to the free library committee at their next meeting. .L. .J. ]

A WELSHMAN DEAD IN SHANGHAI I, ] Our Shanghai correspondent sends us par- ticulars of the death of a.

Mr. Howell was born in Wales, and distinguished r himself by the intelligence and energy he dis- j played in the discharge of his duties. He was j highly appreciated by his superiors in the service, and was a great favourite with i acquaintances and friends. He entered a good j deal into the life of Shanghai, and was for many ) years an active and energetic member of the fire J brigade, having been foreman of the Hong i Keu Company for a considerable tdme. He was J often of great assistance to captains and pilots < on the river, with the navigation of which he was intimately acquainted.

However, he took a turn for the worse, and died as stated.

OUTRAGE NEAR LLANWONNO. A desperate outrage took place on IJhnwonnø Mountain, near Ynysybwl, on Friday afternoon. A man named Daniel Evans, whilst crossing the mountain, went into a house in a lonely place on the side where a woman named Edwards resided. Mrs. Edwards was alone, and the man at once assaulted her, and a severe I struggle ensued. Mrs. Edwards eventually got free, and the man asked for a shilling'. The frightened woman at once took out her purse 3 for the purpose of acceding to his demand, but ] he snatched it from her hand and escaped, Mrs. Edwards immediately gave information to a neighbouring farmer named Rowlands, who mounted his horse and went in pursuit. Not i far frem Ynyshir he overtook the supposed 1 miscreant, and, having captured him; took him to Poi'th Police-station, where he was taken into custody by Inspector Davies. The affair has created quite a sensation in the district.

LONDON AND GENERAL BANK. The Press Association is authorised to state that in February next another dividend will be paid to the creditors of the London and General Bank, with which Jafeez Balfour was connected. Some months ago it was thsught possible to pay I dividends amounting in the aggregate to 10s. in the S, but so well have the calls cf 30s. on the £ 5 shares been responded te, and so I promising are some of the assets to be realised, that the committee of investigation have come to the conclusion that they Will ultimately be able to pay 20s. in the £ to every creditor. For the shareholders, however, there is no hope wf a single penny being paid. It is anticipated that years will elapse before the final dividend is declared.

A Fatal Draught. • An extraordinary death from inisadventure was investigated at Birmingham on Friday afteraoon. A prosperous manuf acturer named Gill, whose business was on the point of conver- sion into a company, was found dead on a stool in his office, with a partly-written letter before him. On the previous evening he was left in the office late by himself, and it appeared that ] in helping himself to a griass of whisky he ha.d by mistake taken a bottle conta.ining- cyanide of potassium, and dra.nk a large quantity. A ver- dict of Death by misadventure" was re- turned. ]

THE. TRADE OF SWANSEA. Annual Meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. The annual meeting of the Swansea Chamber of Commerce was held at the Town-hall on Fri- day afternoon at four o'clock. Mr. R. D. Burnie, M.P., vice-president, took the chair, and there was a fair attendance. ANNUAL REPORT. Mr. E. P. JONES (secretary) read the annual report, which stated that The number of members on the books was 149. The revision of railway rates was the first subject re- ferred in the report, which stated that whac had been conceded would mean a considerable extension of the powers of the Bailway Commission, and, if adopted, should prove of much utility to the trading public. It was to be hoped, however, that the policy would be further developed. Referring to the Bhondda and Swansea Bar Bailway, the report expressed the hope that nothing would be done between the trust and the company which, would hamper the staple trade of the harbour, but the situation with respect to the use of the lines was a difficult one. The questions of expenses of port sanitary authorities, the South Wales mails, additional railway communication with London, Great Westem ooal rates to Swansea, coal shortages to French ports, stemming at Great Wes- tern tips, election of trustees by ballot, and increased harbour facilities were amongst the other subjects referred to in the report, which concluded with the usual interesting statement of trade. TRADE OF THE PORT. The following particulars have been kindly furnished by the statistical department of the harbour trust :— I JXTIJLKDT. 1893. 1892. 1883. Vessels 4/ 4,602 5,195 Registered tornage 1,482.863 1,4&>,043 1,136,864 OUTWARDS.

If) ONE. ono ohnw jiac i/vuu uuue iw uuc jcat uuno; omvwb a falling- off of 2*3 per cent, as compared with that of 1892. The export trade has more than held its own but the imports are some 10 per cent. less than last year, the decrease in this department bsiiif found chiefly in iron ore and copper ore. On the other hand, the imports of grain and kindred commodities have increased 21'6 per cent., and the exports of flour have assumed an im- portant place in the return-totalling over 9,000 tons, The exports of tin-plates are 22,404 tons better than last year, the shipments to the United States show- ing an increase of 13,650 tons. The improvement in this department would have been much greater but for the fact that the exports to the States have been very much curtailed during the last few months owing to the uncertainty which prevails as to the fate-of the M'Kinley tariff. With regard to coal ship- ments, it is most satisfactory to find that, whilst, owing to the general disturbance in trade, a consider- able decrease is shown by other ports in the Channel, the shipments at Swansea (1,459,475 tons) showed a slight improvement on 1892, and a record only second ] to the unusually good one of 1890. This is a signifi- 1 cant circumstance, and full of encouragement for the future. The report was adopted. COLLIERY OUARANTSK3. It was decided, on the motion of Mr. MOFFATT, ] to act in concert with the Cardiff Chamber on the question of colliery guarantees.. The meeting then terminated. ]

The particulars to hand a.re ] very meagre, and state that early in the morn- j ing two young men were discovered in the road, j having been thrown from a trap. One of thea, a young fellow, about twenty, named Jones, was dead, while the other man, named John, was found to be suffering from severe concussion of the brain and other injuries.

A REMARKABLE DREAM. A singular application was heard by bis Honour Judge Sir Horatio Lloyd at Chester County-court on Thursday. In 1864 Edward Urmston. a Chester licensed victualler, died, leaving zP,56 to each of his seven children. In 1874 the daughter, Mary, disappeared, and the executors in November last paid her share into the court, in order to ascertain whether she might not be assumed to be dead. On Thurs- day Mr. Caldecntt, solicitor, produced the long- lost daughter under remarkable circumstances. He said that on New Year's Eve she dreamed that a cousin of hers, a Mrs. Saunders, residing in Liverpool, had died, and she was so uneasy about it that she called at her aunt's residence in Leader-street, Liverpool, to verify her dream. She discovered that her aunt had removed to Russell-street, Liverpool, and through her she first heard of her father's bequest. Mr. Caldecutt applied that the daughter's share might be paid over to her less the costs, and his Honour immediately granted the application.

How Balfour was Taken. i DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE ARREST OF THE FUGITIVE. Jabez was Surprised at His Arrest but the British Consul Promised Him Justice. Through the agency of its Secret Service the Morning has received the following account t supplementing the meagre particulars that have reached this country by the usual channels, o I the manner in which Jabez Spencer Balfour was taken. In a. word (says the agent) Jabez Spefteer Balfour was taken by surprise. Arrived at Jujuy-the commissary of police, the British Consul, and the secret service agent of The Morning-it did net take us long to find the place where Balfour was said, in a phrase of which I do not profess to see the precise mea* ing, to be living in semi-Sultanic lurury." Buf Balfour, himself, was not there. Not at that moment. By a coincidence, however, it happened that he was that day expecting visiters, and when the commissary said he had come to see the senor on business we were allowed to pass the pickets we met on our way U J the house. So we had no occasion to resort to an elaborate subterfuge as the commissary w as fer doing in order to get into the house. It was a simple misapprehension—and apprehension. Passing through the grounds we were struck by a number of huge conservatories that had been erected for the cultivation of rare varieties of the orchid, which here also assumes the epiphytal habit, and grows wild in the open air in spikes or panicles. For a man who is sa.id to be living in "semi-Sultanic luxury "he seemed to find time to do a. gooi deal. Indeed, we dis- covered as seen as we entered the house that the old spirit of enterprise had not forsaken him fer this semi-Sultan, if you please, was away attending te the business of a brewery tha.t he is managing in the neighbourhood That information seemed at once to make the commissary of police suspicious. And then was more excuse than that; for as we passed through the hall on our way to the luxurious drawing-room-Jio half-measures about that- we noticed a number of packages in the hall, addressed J.S.B., BOLIVIA. That was almost too much for the commissary of police, who asked the Consul if he saw that, but the Consul turned it ot by pretending that the commissary was directing his attention tf the inscription stamped on the hall mat-it wai the beautifnl motto of the Liberator scheme- Libera sedes liberum facit." A free home makes a free man," indeed! Evidently Balfour was not without a sense of humour. "ltds the opinion of me," said the commis- sary ei police, once we were alone in the draw. ing-room, that the bird, he is to tfly tc. Bolivia." But we were net left long to ourselves, foi j presently the door opened, aud there entered— not Jabez Balfour, but a. servant, bringing magnum of champagne upon a silver salver. The servant explained that his master, who was at the brewery, would join us presently. A messenger had been sent to inform him that we had a'i i'i-ou. At that the commissary of police could hardly restrain hinwelf, and between his set teeth he expressed again his opinion that Balfour had gone to Bolivia. Not a bit of it, however, fot after a few minutes Balfour himself walked proudly into the room, carrying in his hand (as I noticed when he put it on the table) a copy of Sander's Reiohenbachia." There was a smile on his appropriately florid face—in which my fancy detected a grotesque resemblance to an orchid—when he came forward to shake bands with ue, saying— "Gentlemen, I have been expecting you for some days." Then he begged us to be seated. "Now, gentlemen," he continued in the same genial way, what will you take P" Qui hombri," said the commissary ot police (who had no sense of humour), thinking that our host-for the time being—was offering to bribe us with money. Will you take a glass of champagne?" ht t said, addressing us generally. "Come, now. I have a wine just arrived from England that I should like you to try. No ? Well, what ahalt it be ? You must take something." We will take you," said the British Consul deliberately. "What do you mean P" said Balfonr, trying to laugh it off as a joke. Then, as we all looked at him freezingly, he seeihed to have a moment tary misgiving. I hope," he continued, with assumed buoyancy, that I am correct in be lieving that you gentlemen have done me tlu honeur to visit me here for the purpose of relieving me from further anxieties of tk4 brewery, which ie now, I assure you, a good? going concern, yielding a net profit of—what shall we say ?-of not lees than ftf-" We propose to relieve you, sir, of HW) anxiety respecting your affair? here Except the orchids." sa s he. fondly, aao evidently easier in his mind. The orchids; I shall take with me to 'Bolivia." "Bolivia!" ejaculated the commissary of police. But you are not going to Bolivia," said the consul. Excuse me, I leave* here this afternoon." "Precisely," says the consul, "but not fr" Bolivia." Then the consul, with a politeness that i commissary of police himself could not have celled, explained the business upon which a had come. Fie, gentlemen," says Balfour, firing up. I am ashamed of you You have been guilty of dissimulation, for which I hope Heaven may forgive you. I never can." Then, adopting what may be called a House of Commons man- ner, he added. Gentlemen, Argentina, I an happy to say, is a free country, and I have tin distinguished honour to wish you a very gooC day." But we are not going without you," said tbi Consul. Our men are at hand in case assist- ance is necessary." I" What do you say? Shame upon you! Shame upon you! Have you no respect for the law or for old age ? As the representative of her Britannic Majesty Queen Victoria, I appeal to you. sir" --he turned to the consul-" I claim your protection as a British subject. The British Consul was iron. I look to you, sir," said J-abez, extending his arms to the commissary of police, to afford me the protection that I have the right to expect in a free country P" The commissary of police was granite. Jabez Spencer Balfour was never more fervent in bis demands for what was right. He asked me as a man and a brother if I thouprht he had been treated even witli common honesty. Here wan he <v.i the threshold of a new life—here was a fntr.v c-fieninjr for him that he had hoped to crowi. no distant date, by becoming Mirrirtr" <>f finance to a free and inde- pendent Ilepublic v:af> be thus suddenly to be deprived of everyL^ing that made existence pleasant ? Was it fair to violate the sanctity of his domestic hearth in this fashion ? The notion of a secret treaty was disgraceful— it was a mean, cowardly, contemptible, dirty trick. It wa-a un-Encliph. It was un-Christian. He asked for the consideration that any mailt the richest or poorest, might demand in th* name of humanity—justice. Justice surely h( had a right to expect. He asked for no morf than that. The commissary of police assured him in th name of his Government that he should get it and the L'ntish Consul added that he might lw sure of it, o'ice he was back again to England. And with that assurance tho whole world xug .becoBtent.
