)0 WILLENHALL VACANCY.
)0 WILLENHALL VACANCY. Only Three Candidates are in the Running. The requisition to the churchwardens of St. Giles, asking them to convene a meeting of the congregation, was presented on Thursday after- noon, but it was then found impossible to fix definite date, but the meeting is expected to be held either next Monday or Tuesday. The election will take place on Thursday; April 26, and the poll will be open from ten a.m. to six p.m. The election will be an open one; each voter will have to declare who he intends to support. An agent for each of the candidates will be permitted to be present in the room during the progress of the poll, but will not be allowed to interfere or take exception to any vote tendered. All votes will be accepted on making the required declaration to the return- ing officer, the particulars of which have already appeared in our columns. The re- turning officer's name has not yet transpired, nor where the polling will take place. Mr. Page has a very energetic band of workers, who express their confidence in hit; being successful; but as --Afr. lioeedaie is in town, his course of action will largely depend upon the voice of St. Giles's congTegation as expressed at the meeting to be held early next week. He has held as yet no public meeting, nor arranged for any, but his committee have been engaged the past week in systematic canvass. Mr. Page addressed a, public meeting in the Town- hall on Thursday evening. From present appearance, there are only three serious candi- dates-—Rosedale, Ward, and Page. It was reported that the Rev. Mr. Ford, who has issued an address, would address a meeting in the Town-hall to-night (Friday), but no cir- culars or bills have been issued confirming this. Originally there were 45 aspirants, but several who paid a visit to the town in the early stage* of the vacancy have not re-appeared on the scene.
ROYALTY IN WALES.
ROYALTY IN WALES. The Duke of Cambridge Inspects the Forts at Tenby. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at Tenby on Thursday evening1 by the 6.5 down express, and proceeded to the Royal Gate House Hotel, where a handsome suite of apartments had been provided for his use. The duke was met at the station by Colonel Goodeve, A.A.G., and Captain Phillips, staff officer 41st Regiment. In his Royal High- ness's suite are Lieutenant-general Sir Richard Harrison, K.C.B., commanding the Western District; General Sir Redvers Buller, G.C.B., adjutant-general; Major-general Lloyd, adjutant- general of Artillery and Colonel Fitzgeorge, A.D.C. There was a large number of persona outside the railway station to witness the r; • val of his Royal Highness, who was driven to the Royal Gate House. Hotel in a handsome pair- horse carriage belonging to Mrs. Benjamin Griffiths. This (Friday) morning his Royal High- ness will proceed to Pembroke Dock by Special tram at ten o'clock, and inspect the troops in garrison, and visit the defences of Milford Haven in her Majesty's steamship Stormcock, returning to Tenby immediately afterwards by special train. The whole of the distinguished company are staying at the Royal Gate House Hotel, where Mr. H. J. Gregory has made every arrangement for the comfort and convenience of the distinguished party. On arrival at Pembroke Dock an escort will be provided by the orders of Colonel Saurin, composed of tbe Pembroke Yeo- manry Cavalry, who will precede the carriage of bis Royal Highness through the streets of Pem- broke Do ck to the dockyard.
CARDIFF MAYOR'S SALARY.I
CARDIFF MAYOR'S SALARY. File Action Against the Ex-Mayor May Come On To-day. The action by the Labour members of the Cardiff Corporation against the cx-ma-yor (Councillor W. E. Vaughiin) and Alderman Thomas Rees, will, in all probability, come on for hearing in the high courts either to-day (Friday), or to-morrow (Saturday). The Mayor (Councillor Trounce), Alderman Thomas Hees, and the borough treasurer (Mr. Greenhill) are at present in London, and, with the following have received subpoenas to attend the court and give evidence, viz. :—Aldermen Jacobs, Carey, and D. Jones, and Councillors luorgim Morgan, Ramsdale, F. J. Beavan, Andrews, and Vaughan. This action involves a big principle, and means that any ratepayer can take action against gentlemen who tiave held the positon of mayor of Cardff during the last ten years to recover money voted to their salaries for an especial purpose. As pointed out in our columns on a previous occasion, the amount involved is, in round figures, £10,000.

DOCK ACCOMMODATION.
-7777--7:7= DOCK ACCOMMODATION. Important Action of the Bute Company at Cardiff. Because two years ago the Bute Docks Com- pany withdrew the Bill which they promoted for the construction of a new dock at Cardiff, there are many people who think that the Bill now before Parliament will meet with a similar fate. We are in a position to state that the company are thoroughly in earnest in their desire to improve the accommodation at Car- diff. It is possible that they will not carry all the clauses of the Bill. There will, for instance, be a very determined opposition offered to those portions of it which, if patted, would give the company running powers over local railways, but, as the company have no railway of their own, it is only reasonable, if they are going to make a new dock, that they should have some guarantee that that dock would receive a fair share of the export trade Whatever becomes of these clauses, it is evident that the Bute Company are determined to make a new dock on the foreshore east of the low- water pier. The work of constructing an embs-nkmaut passiliel with the Roath Dock, and in the direction of the pier, is being pushed forward with all jiossible speed. As most vessels now use water ballast, the quantity of sand, stone, &c., discharged at Cardiff is very much less than when the Roath Dock was constructed, and what is unloaded on the wharves is used almost exclusively in the neighbourhood of the Dowlais Ironworks. It became necessary, therefore, to look else- where for material to form the embankments on the foreshore. Sir William Thomas Lewis, the general manager of the company, has, therefore, purchased two immense cinder-tips at Pentyrch, and this material is being con- veyed to Cardiff art the rate of 600 to 700 tons per day, and tipped opposite the Roath Dock. At this rate it will take years to convey the thousands upon thousands of tons of cinders from Pentyrch to Cardiff. The facts which we have given are, however, sufficient to satisfy merchants, shipowners, importers, and others interested in the development of the port that the Bute Docks Company are in earnest in their attempt to provide accommodation for increased trade. During the first quarter of this year the quantity of coal shipped from the port of Cardiff and from the Bute Docks ww largely in excess of the figures for the corresponding period, and the prospects for the future are encouraging. —————————————— I

ICARDIFF SCHOOL BOARD.
CARDIFF SCHOOL BOARD. Deputation from the Waifs and Strays Society. The monthly meeting of the Cardiff School Board was held at the Town-hall on Thursday, under the presidency of Mr. Lewis Williams. There were also present Mr. S. A. Brain, Mr. J. Cory, Dr. Edwards, the Rev. F. J. Beck, the Rev. J. Hayde, Mr. J. Milner, Mr. J. Gardner, the Rev. A. Tilly, the Rev. J. M. Jones, Dr. Treharne, the Rev. Monsignor Williams, Mr. E. Dobbin, Dr. T. Wallace, Mr. D. Rees (clerk), and Mr. J. J. Jackson (inspector). A deputation, consisting of Messrs. G. C. Thompson, P. Thomas, D. Maclean, W. Lewis, J. R. Smithers, F. H. Jotham, and W. H. John- stone, Dr. Harder, and the Rev. W. Spurgeon, waited upon the board from the Waifs and Strays Society. Before proceeding with the business, the Chairman said. in view of the very serious allegations which had been made against the board, they would like to know whether it was the intention of the members of the Waifs and Strays Society to sustain those charges— that dullards and the poorer class of children were excluded from the schools. Dr. Horder said they as a society had made ret accusation ox that kind against the boajKi, and he should be glad if it-' dou'd be pointed out where that accusation had been made. The Chairman said the allegation had been frequently made in the press, but there was not the slightest justification for that charge. The policy of the board had been entirely in a different direction. Dr. Horder said he had no knowledge that such a. charge had been made. The Chairman said they had heard this thing stated, and they had instituted several in- quiries, with the result that they had not been able to find a single case where a child had been excluded. If there was any such case, the board would take very serious action in the matter. Dr. Horder said the deputation asked the board to consider the desirability of estab- lishing at Cardiff a day industrial school. The society had reason to know that there was a large class of children who were at present not receiving any adequate education. These school-s had been tried at Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, and other towns, and they had been found to be successful. The parents and Treasury both contributed to the support of the school, and the average cost had been found to be about £3 per head per annum. Mr. Oarslake Thompson havitig addressed the board, Mr. W. H. Johnstone referred to personal investigations he had made at the Bristol school, and siaied that the officials there found the school satisfactory in every respect. Mr. Percy Thomas said that in other towns where industrial schools had heeu adopted they had been carried on with very great bene- fit to the children for whom they were intended. The Rev. F. J. Beck said, out of 162 school boards in towns, only 25 had got these schools. That bo-ard found the cost of erecting theçe special schools was about £10,000 apieoe, and the question was whether they were justified in spending ratepayers' money to that extent. It had been stated that the Cardiff School Board was behind other school boards, but his contention was that they ooukl prove there was not the necessity for an industrial school, :lIt/I that the Cardiff board was in a better position than other boards. The Chairman recognised the good work done by the Waifg and Strays Society, but the figures they had published in- dicated that they had been too often imposed upon. The bulk of the children who, they stated, were out cf school the board could prove were attending schools in the town. The question before them was one really of policy. The board contended that it was a far wiser policy to gather the children into the better atmosphere and environment of their large schools than to class them with each other as semi-criminals. The deputation urged on them the examples of Liverpool and Bristol. Let them compare those pi ace?. A fair test—he did not know a severer test—was the police returns of juvenile crime. At Liverpool last year the magistrates, at the direct prosecution of the police, committed 400 children to refor- matories and industrial schools at Bristol over 100. These were the places where the policy of the deputation was adopted; but in Cardiff, where the policy they complained of was adopted, with an equally vigilant police, the magistrates sent Hit- ten, a result of which Car- diff might be justly proud. Mr. D. Maclean pointed out that out of 614- children who had appeared before the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children about 400 were deficient in education, and were to be found generally in the streets. The deputation then withdrew. The Rev. Monsignor Williams said when children had been procevded against for non- attendance the difficulty always was rhat they cc-jld not get the magistrates to convict, and I when a- child literally defied the board the policy used to be to allow that child to run a,bout the streets. The Rev. A. Tilly said when the magistrates refused to convict he himself opposed the taking out of fresh summonses, because he con- sidered it was a wasteful expenditure of public I money. The Rev. Monsignor Williams contended that it was the duty of the board to see that tho.-e children were made to attend school. The matter then dropped. it was decided to issue a precept for the next six months for £14,400. This. Mr. Brain re- marked, was equal to a rate of 9d. in the £ A deputation, consisting of Messrs. Will- mott, Brockington, Kent, and a lady teacher, attended on behalf of the haul teachers in refe- rence to the proposal of the board to reduce their share of the Government grant from two- fifths to two-sevenths. It was pointed out that such a.u action would be an injustice to the older teachers of the board, who, in cases of school extensions, would have more work and more responsibility without increased re- muneration.—The matter was referred to the general purposes committee. The other business of the meeting was of a routine character.

Some Very Queer Dirmera THE FREAKS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE LITTLE TO DO. Every Guest Masqueraded as an Animal at a Dinner Recently Givefl in Gay Parts. A great catalogue might be made of cRtaaer table eccentricities, and of the freaks of dineESt People who have little to do in the world often do that little as freakishly as they can, and, -dinners give them many opportunities of display. Pierre Loti; for instance, is very fond of masquerades and of organising queer dinner parties. Some time ago he gave a party in his villa, at Trouville, to which ail the guests invited had to go in costumes of the Louis XL period. The dining-room was decorated in fifteenth century style: the diehes were made from the directions in a. cookery book which belonged^ to Louis's daughter the servants wenp dressed as the attendants of that time, and music of the fifteenth century was played. Loti himself was dressed as the King, and one who was there; says the only thing necessary to complete the illusion was a less modern st-yla of conversation. M. Jan Van Beers, the famous painter, has lately devised a plan whereby his guests are really seated upon the edge of « trap door. The first course being finished, the table sinks through the trap and another, laid for the second course, ascends to its place, And so the tables rise and descend till the dinner is completed. This device was not tin known in earlier ages, for Charles II. made use of it in some of his revels. A strange freak V- the dinner-hour was exhibited ia Paris some time ago. The dinner was apparently intended to depict the feeding time at the Zoo. Every guest, and there were one hundred, had to disguise himself or herself as an animal. One man went as a drake, a lady as a paasthec, aiid the dresses were remarkably real. Peuplo talked of this queer menagerie for many a.

Sir,-Your reference to the above on .Marcft 26, under the heading A Bold Welsfe Engineer," induces me to send you a copy of my pian, which 1 hope you will read and con- sider.

"But. I liaxe no room to put up more stones and more bolting machiiwsJ50 Then, Mr. Miller, rest assured you oanoOk make flour (of good quality), in spite of your double power steam engine, beyond your origi- nal output. Now that, sir, is the position of our ssaewr- propelled" steamships. Better and larger boilers and bigger nnd better engines are use- less unless they can increase the size of the screw propellers, and that; cannot be done because the draught of the ship and the breadth of the ship limit the diameter of the pro- pellers that can be got- in. Our present Atlantic liners, therefore, have reached the limit al their epeed so long as they are propelled onij by two screws plaoed in the stern of the ship. one on each siue of the cicadwood, beettaae it is impossible to increase the propelling "W face" to enable it to utilise an increase of the propelling "powtr." The old paddle-wheels were discarded because they were plaoed in the worst possible powtwa, one wheel on each side of the vessel, just dip- piiig into the water, where every roll of the vessel affected their working most injuriously —at one moment almost out of th3 water ajid at the next so deep that an immense pro- portion of the power wa.s wasted in pressing down the water in front and lifting it up behind, without adding in any way to the speed or propulsion of the vessels. Now, I have a plau of wheel in which the paddles are ahvavs perpendicular, and which are placed ia the very centre of the vessel, the bottom of the wheel just, inside the bottom of the ship, working in a. clear fore, and aft water channel to propel the ship, while the upper portion^ the wheel is placed in an airtight casing filted with compressed air of sudh a tension as will prevent the water rising higher on the wheel than the point fixed on as best for its profitable working. Therefore, the upper part of the wheel is working in air. I place these wheel. one behind the other in a long string, so that 1 ca-n get any quantity of piopeilmg surface, far exceeding the are.! of the submerged portion of the cross-section of the ship. A» Atlantic liner with twin-screws, drawing of water, and, sav, 50ft. beam, would have a submerged cross-section of 1,200 square feet The utmost propelling surface that such s vessel could obtain with twin screw s woilW be about 850ft. Now, I could get three timet that suiface, or more if it were necessary, for my wheels can be made of any size. and might occupy, if necessary, two-thirds of the whol? length of the ship. Now, as to speed, our fastest Atlantic liners go, I believe, about 24 milo6 an hour (21 knots), and there can be very little doubt that. if it will pa* vessels can be built to go a great deal faster than that. There are no trust- worthy statistics to show the extra power needed to drive a vessel at double speed. The learned "doctors" differ widely! One set say the necessary power increases on the square of the speed. Another set say it increases on tha cube of the speed. Suppose I set those figures clearly forward. The "t-jiiare gen- tlemen say of a certain power (call it 100) will drive a certain ship ten miles an hour: then to drive that ship twenty miles an hour will require 20 x 20=400, while the "cube" gen- tlevren say that it would need 20 x 20 x 20 1.600 times as much Rather a. wide difference here, but we all know doctors do differ. But how about 60 miles an hour*W ell, the square of 60 is 3,600. and the cube of 60 is 216,000. Prodigious, as Domrv'e Sampson used to say. Where one set of learned doctors say 3,600 is the figure, and another set say no, it must ba 216,000, I think we may safely say, '"Nothing but actual experiment can tell us. Un- doubtedly, the power needed increases in a. much greater ratio than the speed but thai it increases as the square or the cube I do not believe. But, whatever may be the power needed, we can most assuredly build ships strong enough and make boilers and engines powerful enough to greatly increase the speed. we can never increase the speed, no mattes how strong our whips or how powerful OUT engines, if we cannot also increase the surllwt of our propellers step by step as we increase the power of our engines. Now. I have already pointed out that the propelling "surface" eaa- not be increased so long as our shipbuilders use only twin screws at. the stern of the vessel. Although I am an old man, I hope to see- steamer s running- at 60 miles (I do not mean knots) an hour. "but if it be too expensive for; coals, then 50 or even 40 would be a wonderful advance on the present maximum of 24 miles, < and a 40-mile steamer would most assuredly" run everv 24-mile steamer off its statKWi.—! am. &c., G.
