ELECTION NEWS. Mr. Lloyd-George, M.P., a Possible Can- didate far Swansea. A prominent Liberal wire-puller of the Swansea Parliamentary District is credited with having stated that Mr. Lloyd-George has cast loving ooks towards the seat co be vacated by Mr. William Williams, M.P. Be that as it may, no one can gainsay that there is 'an opinion rife among the leading Liberals of the division that Mr. Lloyd-George would be far from annoyed if he were asked to become a candidate, and would probably accept the offer. Mr. Lloyd-George will not, of course, rush precipitately, like a bull at a gate, in the manner which a cert&in Neath gentleman has been exercising; bnt, being a fairly modest man, will wait to be asked.

SHOCKING DISCOVERY. The Dead Body of an Infant Found at Newport. About noon on Friday a number of boys, among whom were two lads named John Williams, of 25, Baldwin-street, and John Powell, 74, Jeddo-street, were playing on the ballast tips at the end of Jeddo-street, New- port, when they found the dead body of a newly-born female, child. The body was wrapped in a local newspaper, dated June 9, and was tied round with a piece of pink dress material, the whole being covered with brown paper. Police-sergeant Smith, of the borough force, was communicated with, and lie conveyed the body to the Pill Mortuary. The police are now; investigating the matter, and the coroner has also been communicated with..

FRENCH IN MADAGASCAR. A Reuters Paris telegram on Friday says:— The "Matin"' calls upon the French Govern- ment to take prompt action in Madagascar, where, it says, the attitude of the natives towards tihe French settlers is becoming every day more th3*ea.t€ning. The journal urges that France should take advantage of the presence of General Frev in the island to show the Hovas "her ttjeth.

TITHE TROUBLES. The Charges Against the Cardigan Chief- Constable. In the House of Commons on Friday, Mr. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWEN (C., Tun- bridge) asked the following question of the Home Secretary: "Whether his attention has been called to the fact that Robert Lewis, the bailiff of the Newca-stle-Emlyn County-court, iias publicly accused the Chief-constable of Cardigan- shire of having made false statements with regard to the tithe disturbances last March in his recent report to the standing joint com- mittee; whether he is aware that at the last meeting of the standing joint committee Mr. Willis-Bund, chairman of the quarter sessions, moved that a sub-committee be appointed to inquire into these allegations, but the majority (consisting mainly of county oouncil members) rejected this after refusing to hear Mr. Lewis's evidence; and whether, in view of the desira- bility of the truth as to the chief-constable's action being elicited, he will cause an inquiry to be held by the Inspector of Constabulary or by some other means." Air. ASQUITH (Home Secretary) said, in reply: My attention has been drawn to the charges brought against the chief-constable by Mr. Lewis. I am not myself of opinion that the discrepancies between Mr. Lewis's account of what happened on the occasion in question I and the account given in the chief-constable's report to the standing joint committee are of sufficient importance to justify a formal inquiry, or are of such a character that. there is any pro- bability of their being cleared up by any inquiry I that I could set on foot. I have not myself power to institute an inquiry on oath, or to compel the attendance of witnesses, or to require them to answer questions put to them. Mr. Willis-Bund did move that a sub-committee of the. standing joint committee should inquire into the alleged inaccuracies in the chief-con stable's report, but the committee did not Ron- sider this necessary. Before coming to this decision they had Mr. Lewis's letter under con- sideration, but I do not understaaid that they had any opportunity of hearing him orally. In answer to a further question by Mr. Griffith-Boscawen. The HOME SECRETARY said he did not tliink the discrepancies on what were small and unimportant points in the version of the chief- constable and Mr. Lewis had any relation to the duty the Inspector of Constabulary had to perform, of certifying as to the efficiency of the force.

A PROMENADE FOR BARRY ISLAND. A promenade is in course of erection on Barry Isla.nd for Lord Windsor, the owner of the land, and will, when completed, be more than half a mile in extent.

UNDERMANNING OF SHIPS. Report of the Commission to be Ready Next Year. Our London correspondent telegraphing last night says:— The committee investigating allegations of undermanning of slups have, under the chairmanship of Sir Edward Reed, almost completed their labours. It is under- stood that in October the members will visit the ports of Cardiff, Glasgow, and Hull, and on their return to town will consider their re- port. Owing to the mass of evidence which has been collected, the report is not expected to be ready until the commencement of next year. It is, of course, impossible to say what the recommendations of the committee will he, but it may safely be assumed that one of the chief of these will be the adoption of a mini- mum standard of men, according to the tonnage of the vessel.

60 MILES AN HOUR AT SEA. Mr. Samuel W. Allen. of Cardiff, has written us a long letter on the above subject in reply to, Mr. G. A. Haig, of Nowtovm. Unfortunately pressure on our spade has compelled us to hold it over hitherto. We now, however, give a. few extracts. Mr. Allen writes :—" I thought I had done Mr. Haig a kindness in endeavouring to explode ljis wrongly based theories. I quoted for his edification the fact that Mr. Mliler's first steamer, and the pioneer of steam navigation, bad been made on the principle of Mr. Haig's recent invention, and that the scheme was abandoned because the principle was wrong, and I thought that it would be quite sufficient to convince him of his erroneous idea. He asks me, however, to tell your readers at what speed the back water of a paddle-wheel-runs when the ship which it is propelling' is running at twenty miles an hour. This is a conundrum that requires some consideration, and can only be answered by asking another, viz., 'What is the difference between a cogwheel working in a rack and a paddle-wheel working in water ? I leave him to gather his own answer to this, as it is not worth my while to make the calcula- tion. He asks, again, where 'that awful stream' goes to. My answer is, that if his 60- mile steamer with her bows against a rock is running at full speed with his sixteen paddle wheels, the stream of water would spout out behind the ship like some gigantic fire engine, throwing a column of water 10ft. wide and 4jft, broad somewhere.' These are his own words, and ordinary common sense,' and if the ship was free the water would still do the same thing, but in a less degree. I should recommend Mr. Haig to watch the action of an ordinary feathering paddle of any tug boat in Cardiff, and be will see that the action of the floats is practically as illustrated in his letter, and in- vented about 50 years ago."

NT ERNATIONAL YACHTING. TO-DAY'S MATCH AT COWES. To-day (Saturday) we have (says the Pall Mall Gazette") the long-expected match off Cowes, when the Vigilant will ma.ke her first appearance in the Solent. The match is for £100, to be presented by the loser in the form of a cup, and the course is to be from Cowes round the Nab, then back along the whole lengt h -'T. ,4Io.I.1.f,. la A Off T.ymintrtnn. and so home to the starting point. If the wind should be strong and southerly this course would be all in favour of the Vigilant, who would get plenty of smooth water under the shore of the island. Under any circumstances, the race should prove interesting, if only for the circum- stance that it will be the last occasion (as at present arranged) when the Britannia and the Vigilant will fight a duel unhampered by the presence of any other competitor. THE BRITANNIA AND VIGILANT. The Vigilant returned to Southampton from Cowes on Friday afternoon. It is rumoured that her new measurement penalises her a fur- ther two HuouteS » favour, of the Britaionj^ The two yachts proceeded to Cowes in the evening for the start in the morning.

Wagon Driven by Steam IT MAKES TEN MILES Alt HOUR. A Yankee Invention that may Add tha Horse to the Vast Army of the Unemployed. A steam road wagon has been invented hy Mr. C. L. Simonds, an American. The in- vention promises to relieve the horse of a great. deal of work. Cars are now driven by steam1 or electricity, but always on rails. When ai, man wants to go where he likes and stop when. he likes lie must depend on a horse. If the, new steam wagon is a success, that will no longer be so. This invention points to a time, when horses will be used only for exercise and pleasure, which will be a very good thing for. horses In Paris a number of steam wagons have been in use in the streets for some tuno-' past. Curiously enough they are owned by persons of fashion and are mostly to be seen > in the neighbourhood of the Champs Elysees and the Bois de Boulogne. Mr. Simonds says that no skill is required in directing his wagon. It can make ten miles an hour and climb a hill with two pasengers. Steam is made in five minutes. The body of the wagon is placed on four bicycle wheels. The machinery con- sists of a steam boiler of the porcupine type, built to carry 100 pounds of steam to the square inch. Small as it is, is has twenty-eight feet of heating- surface. A two-cylinder vertical engine works the main shaft, the two cranks of which are set at an angle of 90 with each other, so that there shall be no dead point. The main shaft carries a sprocket wheel, which is connected by chain with a sprocket wheel on the left-hand rear wheel of the wagon. As the engine runs at a hiph speed, the sprocket on the wheel is of much larger size than the other, so as to reduce the speed. The total weight of the vehicle is 437 pounds. The front wheels are 36 inches in diameter, the rear ones 48 inches. They are rubber-tired. Two pumpt are employed; one feeds the boiler, the othei drives the air blast through the naphtha. Under the boiler are five burners, arranged sc that they can be used singly ii desired. Fiv. gallons of naphtha, enough to run the wagon 100 miles, are carried. A steering wheel is provided in front of the seat. The exhaust steam is passed through a feed-water heater, and is then delivered to the naphtha fiaœ.e, where its presence destroys noise.

POLITICAL ITEMS. Probable Date of the Prorogation. farl iament. The "Westminster Gazette** of Friday says :-It is now expected that Parliament will be prorogued either on Friday, the 24th, <4 Saturday, the 25th. The Queen will, therefore be able to bold the Council for the Speech at -Osborne before her departure for Scotland^ which is fixed for Friday, the 24th. CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE PEERS. The Press Association states that an active autumn campaign against the House of Lordi was arranged on Friday evening at a, meeting ol the Parliamentary Committee of the Nationa1 Reform Union held in the Conference-room 0; the House of Commons, the Hon. Philip Stan hope presiding. It was decided that, beginning in October, a series of conferences should be held during the closing months in this y.e&1\ throughout England and Wales, the afternool conferences to be followed in each case by1 ( public meeting at night. A prcrtisiortaLan&pre^ liminary list of speakers was prepared,. m>{ including any members of the Government; It was also decided by the committee to issue -4 strong whip in favour of the Minyrs«Eii^lt Hour^ BilL

POSTAL FACllrrJfS. Important Negotiation with i)$-firet! Western Railway* In the House of Commons on Friday, Mr. D. A. THOMAS (G., A £ er$hyr) aske& the Postmaster-General whether it was still the case that in the principal towns in South Wales, situated on the main lines of the Great Western Railway, letters have to be posted at an earlier hour than in English towns double the distance from London in order to catch the first morning delivery;' and, if so, whether there was any immediate prospect of an improvement being made in the postal facilities in that district. Mr. A. MORLEY (Postmaster-General), ia reply, said he was in correspondence with the Great Western Railway on the subjeot, an £ although the negotiations were not fully otm- eluded he hoped very shortly to be in a position to announce that he had- succeeded Ia, giving the increased facilities that Wi« desired.
