WILLEN HALL VACANCY. Only Three Candidates ape in the Running. The requisition to the churchwardens of St. fiiles, 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 his being successful; but as Mr. Rosedale is in town, his course of action will largely depend upon the votoe ei St. Giles's congregation 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 waa 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 stages of the vacancy have not re-appeared on the scene.

ROYALTY IN WALES. The Duke of Cambridge Inspects the Forts at Tenby. His Boyfbl Highness the Pake of Cambridge arrived at Tenby on Thursday evening 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 Redrers BuRer, G.C.B., adjutant-general; Major-general Lloyd, adjutant- general of Artillery and Colonel Fitzgeorge, A.D.C. There was a large number of persons outside the railway station to witness the ar 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 train at ten o'doek, and inspect the troops in garrison, and visit the defences of Milford Haven in her Majesty's steamship Stcrmoock, returning to Tenby immediately afterwards by special train. The whole 01 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 the Pembroke Yeo- manry Cavalry, who will precede the carriage of his Royal Highness through the streets of Pem- broke Do ck to the dockyard.

CARDIFF MAYOR'S SALARY. The Action Against the Ex-Mayor May Come On To-day. The action by the Labour members of the dn' Cardiff Corporation against the ex-mayor (Councillor W. E. Vaughan) and Alderman Thomas Rees, will, in all probability, come on for hearing in the high oourts either to-day (Friday), or to-morrow (Saturday). The Mayor {Councillor Trounce), Alderman Thomas ltees, and the borough treasurer (Mr. Greei),hill) are at present in Loudon, and, with the following have received subpoenas to attend the court and give evidence, viz. :—Aldermen. Jacobs, Carey, and D..Tones, and Councillors Morgan Morgan, Rainsdale, F. J. Beavan, Andrews, and Vaughan. This action involves a big principle, and means that any ratepayer can take action against gentlemen who have held the positon of mayor of Cardtf during the last ten years to recover Itvmev voted to their salaries for ;m especial purpose. As pointed out in our columns on a previous occasion, the amount involved is, in round figures, £ 10,000.

DOCK ACCOMMODATION. Important Action of the Bute Company, at Cardiff. Becaitee 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 paiiSed, 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 :&.Ite Company are determined to make a new dock on the foreshore east of the low- water pier. The work of constructing ail embankment parallel with the Roath Dock, tmd- ip the direction of the pier, is being pushed forward with all possible speed. As most vessels now use water ballast, the quantity of sand, stone, &c., discharged at Cardiff is very much lees than when the Roath Dook was constructed, and what is unloaded on the wharves ie 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 Pentyreh, and this material is being con- veyed to Cardiff at the rate of 600 to 700 tons per day, and tipped opposite the Roath Dock. At this rate it will take years to oonvey the thousands upon thousands of tone of cinders from Pwityroh to Cardiff. The facts which we have given are, however, sufficient to saitifify 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 was largely in excess of the figures for the oorrespotiding period, and the prospects for Ing the future are eocouragiag.

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. Treharoe, 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. Horder, 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 oktes of children wepe excluded from the schools. Dr. Horder said they as a. society had made no accusation, of that kind against the board, and he shouÑ. be glad if it could 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 1!19- 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 boon 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 a £ K$i 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 schools 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 oast had been found to be about L3 per head per annum. Mr. Carslake Thompson having addressed the board, Mr. W. R. Tobastoue referred to personal investigations he had made at the Bristol school, and stated tha.t the officials there found the school satisfactory in every respect. Mr. Percy Thomas said that in other towns where industrial schools had been adopted they had been carried on with very great bene- fit to the children for whom they were intended. The Rev: F. J. Buk said, out of 162 school boards in, towns, only 25 had got these schools. The board found the cost of erecting these special schools was about £ 10,000 apiece, 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 could prove there was not the necessity for an industrial school, and that the Cardiff board was in a better position than other boards. The Chairman recognised the good work done by the Waifs 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 of 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 places. 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 wan adopted, with an equally vigilant police, the magistrates sent but 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 proceeded against for non- attendance the difficulty always was that they could not get the magistrates to convict, and when a child literally defied the board the policy used to be to allow that child to run about 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 money. The Rev. Monsignor Williams contended that it was the duty of the board to see that tha-,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 2. A deputation, consistmg of Msessrs. Will- niott, Brockiugtoti, Kent, and a. lady teacher, attended on behalf of the head teachers in refe- rence to the proposal of the board to reduce their share of the Government grant from two- lift hs to two-sevenths. It was pointed out that such an action would be an injustice to the older teachers of the board, who, in oases of school extensions, would have more work and more responsibility without increased re- muneration.—The matter was referred w the general purposes committee. The other business of the meeting was of a routine character.

A great catalogue might be made of dinna table eccentricities, and of the freaks of dinera People who have little to do in the world oftet do that little as freakishly as they can, an4 i dinners give them many opportunities of displays Pierre Loti, for instance, is very fond of masquerades and of organising queer dinner parties. Some time ago he gave a party in I his villa, at Trouville, to which an the guesta invited had to go in costumes of the Lome XI. I period. The dining-room was decorated in fifteenth century style; the dishes were made from the directions in a cookery book whiofi belonged'to Louis's daughter; the servants were dressed as the attendants of that time, and? music of the fifteenth century wap 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 styitf of conversation. M. Jan Van Beers, the famous painter, has lately devised a plan whereby taw guests are really seated upon the edge of a. trap door. The first course being finished, the table ranks through the trap and another, laid for the second course, ascends to its plaee And so the tables rise and descend till th< dinner is completed. This device was not ure known in earlier ages, for Charles IL made ttae of it in some of his revels. A strange freak of the dinner-hour was exhibited in Paris some time ago. The dinner was apparently interacted to depict the feeding time at the Zoo. Bray 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. panther, and the dresses were remarkably real. People talked of this queer menagerie for many a day.

SIXTY MILES AN HOUR AT SEA, A Wetsh Engineer Gives Detafte of Ms Daring Scheme. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING BXPRESSfcf Sir,—Your reference to the above on Mard 26, under the heading A Bold W-elssh Engineer," induces me to send you a copy of my plan, which 1 hope you will read and con- sider. But, at the same time, I hope you wift let me tell your readers that the real reaeow why the speed of sea-going passenger stearafss has increased so slowly of late years is thxh our great shipbuilders by using socew pro- pellers at the stem of the ship are tmafife increase the propelling surface" step by step with each increa.se of propelling "power." If a man who had a Hour-null with twelve pairs of stones and a suitable engine were to double the power of his engine and then try to make double the flour by running the wheat twice as fasA through the stones every pcacMcal miller would tell him he WIle a. fooL; thait he might, make a little more flour (oertaiujLy mfe double), but that it would be of much wome quality, a.nd ,¡J¡a.i if he wanted to uiahse his increased engine-power he most put up twiae as many pairs of atones and other things im proportion. "But I have, no room to «» more stones and more bolting roaehinea* The#, Mr. Miller, rest assured you caenrtfc make Sour (of good qyatefcy* in Kift of yeuc double power stea m eugiae, beyoad pr otagk- nai output. Now that, six, ie the positiaa of oar HsetØIJ- propeiled" steamships. Better aDd LMBB" boilers and bigger and better engines wse, use- less unless they can increase the sm of the screw propellers, and tba.t cannot be done because the draught of the ahip and the faeeadifei of the ship limit the daamofcer of the p- pellers that can be got ;n. Q«r present Atlantic liners.- therefore, have reaiched the lanat of their speed so long as are propelled oaJy by two screws plaioed in the stem of the ship, one on each side of the deadwood, beeauiw it is impossible to increase the propelling faoe" to enable it to utilise an increase of the propelling "power." The old paddle-wheeis w-ere discarded became they were plaoed in the worst possible pofsfcioa, one wheel on each side of the vessel, just diy- ping into the water, where every roll of fe vessel affected their working most injuriously —at ome moment almost out of the water and at the next so deep that all immense pro- portion of the power was wasted in pressing down tie 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 plan of wheel in which the paddles are always perpendicular, and which are placed ia the very centre of the vessel, the bot.tom of. the wheel just inside the bottom of the ship, working in clear fore and aft water chaanet to propel the ship, while the wpper portion df the wheel is placed in an airtight casing filled with compressed air of sudh a tension as will prevent the water rising higher on the wbeei. than the point fixed on as bes«t for its profiWbie. working. Therefore, the upper part of the wheel is working in air. I place these wheeht one behind the other m a long string, so tha* t can get any quantity of propelling itN surface, far exceeding the area, of the submerged portion of the cross-section of the ship. An Atlantic liner with twin-screws, drawing 24ft of water, and, say, 50ft. beam, would have a submerged cross section of 1.200 square feet. The utmost propelling surface that such a. vessel could obtain with twin screws would be about 850ft. Now. I could get three ti**» that surface, or more if it were necessary, for my wheels can be made of any size, and emgM occupy, if necessary, two-thirds of tho whole length of the ship. Now, as to speed, our fastest Atlantic liners go, I believe, about 24 miles an hour (21 knotsl and there can be very little doubt that, if ifc will pay," vessels can be built to go a greaë 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 neoessarv power increases on the square of the speed. Another set say it increases on the cube of the speed. Suppose set those figures clearly forward. The .are geø- tlemen sa.y of a certain power (call it 100) wirt 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 WB- tlemen sav 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? Well, the sqmtre of 60 is 3,600, and the cube of 60 is 216,000. Prodigious, as Dominie Sampson used to sXyu Where one set of learned doctors say 3,600 is the figure, and another set say no, it must bit 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 that it inoreases 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. Btrt we can never increase the speed, no matter how strong our ships or how powerful our engines, if we cannot :\1"0 increase of our propellers step by step as we increase the power of our engines. Now, I have already pointed out that the propelling "surface" cam not be inoreased so long as our shipbuilder use only twin screws at the stern of the vessel Although I am an old man, I hope to se^ steamers running at 60 miles (I do not mess knots) an hour,'but if it- be too expensive fee coals, then 50 or even 40 would be a wonderful/ advance on the present maximum of 24 miles,! and a 40-mile Fteamer would most assuredly run every 24-mile steamer off its station.—I am, &c.
