FOR ALBION SUFFERERS. How the "Western Mail" Fund is to be Distributed. The time has arrived for finally deciding what shall be done with the moneys subscribed for the relief of the sufferers by the reoeint- terrible disaster a.t the Albion Colliery, aaid a keen con- troversy has arisen as to the method of distri- but,ion to be adopted in regard to the various funds. The total amount of the- subscriptions can only be approximately arrived a.t, as there is reason to believe some of the donations appear in more than one of the published lists, but the aggregate is variously estimated at from £ 34.612 to £ 39,041, the separate funds being given somewhat as follows:- Cardiff fund (of which JE;6,150 had been paid u.p) £ 10,449 Pontypridd Fund 7,780 Permanent Fund receipts 6,255 London 5,638 • £ ou!li Wales-Daily News 2,301) "Western Mail" Fund.. 2,000 Newport 1,800 Parliamentary Fund (Mr. A. Thomas, M.P.) 1.300 Aberdare 419 Swansea 417 Mert-hyr 383 Aberavon (about) 300 On the one hand, there are those who contend that all funds should be plaoed at the disposal of the Miners' Provident Relief Society, while, on the other, a section, especially of the miners' leaders who strenuously oppose any such project, and contend that the object in view is simply to "relieve employers of their liability," and not only take away from the widows and orphans the money attributed towards their relief, but also to relieve the Permanent Society of all its obligations by handing tr. it a sum almost large enough to meet the whole of its liabilities to the Albion sufferers. In one instance a. suggestion was made that the voices of the miners' leaders and the local Trades' Unionists should settle the I matter, andi, appa/rently, acting upon the hint, the miners' agents and delegates assembled in a "round table conference," ailled for another purpose, on Friday, and passed a. strong resolution deprecating the "ribbing of the widows and orphans." Among those who support the claims of the society, however, are people who point out that the drain upon the society, unless it be assisted out of the funds subscribed, would seriously cripple it, and, possibly, prevent the Albion I widows and orphans from receiving the amounts due to them from the society; while I the usefulness of that body in relieving sufferers by individual accidents (which do not appeal to the sympathy of the multi- tude) is generally admitted. The question of contracting out of the Employers' Lia- bility Act, which is done by the members t-f the society, is freely discussed pro and ooti and such discussions, however good their object may be, raised at such a time as this, must inevitably result in damaging the flow of subscriptions to similar funds when any appeal is made in future. We think it is a great pity that this con- troversy has arisen, and those who are responsible for the administration of the funds entrusted to them certainly find some diffi- culty in -deciding what is best to be done under the circumstances. As regards sums which have been specifically devoted by the donors to the Permanent Relief Society no question ca.n arise, but as regards the balance of the money there are thrae ways of dealing with it. The first is to divide it pro rata among the survivors, according to the number of mem- bers in each family; but everyone will admit that this would be an improvident way of disposing of the money. The second way is to distribute the fund and the income arising out of it by instalments, so calculated that the oxistence of the beneficiares and the corpus of the fund will be exhausted at one and the same time. This, of course, could not be effected without actuarial calculation and con- siderable expense in administration. The third plan is to hand over the fund to the. Miners' Provident Society j but against this last proposal there are several cogent objec- tions. Except in the case we have stated above, the money was subscribed, not for the sake of strengthening the Provident Sock-ty, but for the purpose of materially benefiting the forlorn condition of the widows and chil- dren of the victims of the Cilfynydd disaster. It seems to us, however, that the two objecta,, can be achieved in one operation- if the example that was afforded by the distribution of the Llanerch fund be adopted, and the Miners' Provident Scoie«y be employed to administer the funds which have not been specifically allocated, ind be paid by being given one-half of the total fund, and the income arising therefrom, for their- trouble in dealing with the cases for a series of years. In the case of the Llanerch disaster the public subscriptions were sufficient to give to each widow 5s. and each child 2s 6d., but, instead of giving this amount iu addition h?vrh<^egijal_ amount which the society had to pay, it was agreed by the Llanerch trustees that the society should retain half, and thus to that extent be helped in its finances. In respect of the Llanerch, therefore, the society receives 5s. per widow and 2s. 6d. for each child from the trustees, and the society itself pays 2s. 6d. per woman and Is. 3d. per child, the total thus being 7s. 6d. in the former case and 3s. 9d. in the latter, and the society saves half what it would otherwise have to pay. The total funds which have been subscribed I for the Albion widows and children, and have not been ear-marked in the interests of the, Permanent Society, amount to between jE15,000 and £ 20,000. Assuming that tin's would produce a-nnrally, duning" the period over which the claims of the widows and or- phans would extend, the sum of £ 2,000, then it would be right that £1,000 of this should be retained by the society for their services, and the other half paid as an instalment of the amount the widows and children are entitled to from the Permanent Fund. When we opened the "Western Mail" Fund we were under the impression that there were cases which could not be reached by the society- owing to technicalities, and we, therefore, decided not to hand over to the Permanent Fund the- money entrusted to us, but to distribute at direct among the families We have now satisfied ourselves that the Permanent Society is in a position to deal with special cases, for Rule 29 states: -a "If any application for allowance, by reason of an accident which may have happened in or about the working of coal or other rnuies not provided for by there rules, shall be made, the board shall have power, if they think iit, to give such allowance (if any) as they in their absolute discretion may think proper under the special circumstances of each case." This rule confers upon the board of manage- ment sufficient power to deal with cases which do not come quite within the scope of the constitution, and M they have had to deal with upwards of 100,000 oases since the formation of the society it is easy to understand that there has been fre- quent occasion to put this rule in force. Un- less, therefore, we hear to the contrary from the subserilters to the "Western Mail" Fund, we shall hand over the money to the Miners' Provi- dent Society to be distributed upon the same plan as that of the Llanerch Fund.

"IOLO MORGANWG." Subject of a Lecturft to the Cardiff Cymmroderion. At the fortnightly meeting of the Cardiff Cymmrodorion, held 011 Friday night, at Cax- ton-hail, Professor Powel, of the University College, was in the chair.—The Rev. R. i. Joi^.s, M.A., Aberdare, read a paper on "Iolo Marganwg." The rev. gentleman gave a graphic description of "Iolo s" character as a ba.rd, an arataquarian, and a writer, but nothing touched the audience so much as the bard's re- fusal, although poor, to take possession of his brothers' nrOlwrty. He had two brothers, who emigrated to the West Indies, and died worth about B 20.000. "lolo" wis the sole and only testator, but he refused to put- in his claim be- cause he believed thait his brerthers made their money in a country wherE, slavery was recog- nised. All persuasions and arguments failed, and he choose rather to die a poor man than to take possession of a. property that was secured in a country where men and women were not free agents, but slaves. His labours, in con- junction with Dr. William Oven Fughe and "Owen Mvfyr" in collecting the materials and editing the "Myfyrian ArchaKilcrv wl'<r" also described, and his poe-n18 in English :1¡ld Welsh were treated in a masterly way.—The usual vote of thanks and singing one of the old melo- dies of Wales, under the conductorship of Mr. Thos. Williams, terminated the meeting. O OF THE SACRIFICE OF MASS

MISSION WORK IN CHINA. Rev. W. Owen at a Farewell Meeting at Llwynypia. This (Saturday) evening the Rev. W. OWéll, who has laboured for so many years in mission work in China, leaves this country, after a brief holiday to recupeir-ate his health, to re- sume his labours in that far off and troublous country, and on Thursday evening a farewell meeting was held at Salem Chapel, Llwynypia. In the afternoon the eloquent missionary de- livered a stirring address upon his mission work before the ministers and delegates attending tl)e quarterly meeting of the BaSL Glamorgan Welsh Congregational Association, which was helct in the same ohapei, and at seven o'clock a. large oongi egation assembled to listen to his farewell address.—The Rev. Mr. Jenkins (pastor of Salem), who presided, spoke in high terms of the missionary efforts of Mr. Owen during the. last twelve years. The rev. gentleman touchingly referred to the absence of Mrs. Owen. and said that- it was a pify that her health should breakdown at the end of hot Veil-deserved holiday, for she had always been a, tender help- iiia,te and strength to her husband in lus laborious a.nd oft-times difficult work. The centenarv of the missionary movement wa.s now being celebrated, and he hoped that Mr. Owen s visit to his old country would stir up renewed zeal and eifort on behalf of foreign missions.— The Rev. Mr. Hughes (Cathays) and the Rev. Sir. Evans (Sauuderafoot, Pembrokeshire) next sp6ke.—The Rev. W. Owen deeply stirred his hearers with an address delivered in excellent Welsh. The first, quarterly meeting, he ex- plained, w h.ion he attended was at Sardis, Ponty- pridd, twenty y ,«ars ago, when he was recom- mended !o Bala College, and now he wa« attend- intr the last before returning to the mission field. He, however, hoped it would not be the last for him to attend, ana that he would once again be. privileged to be present at a similar meeting in East Glamorgan, but it might be eight, ten. or twelve years' hence. Additional missionaries had he en sent from this country recently, but the wheels of the chariot were now at a. standstill because they 11ad not. sufficient "oil" to impel it forward. If every Indepen- dent in this country only gave 3s. towards the mission, the present debt of .S 50.000 on their societv would be swept away, and the £ 100,000 which they intended raising by next year to celebrate the centenary would soon be all accomplished fact. Fifty years ago little was known of the Gospel in China, Madagascar, and India, but by to-day millions of people had been brought to the feet of the Cross.—So deeply touched was the audience with the rev. gentleman's appeal on behalf of the heathen that at the close of his address there was a spontaneous outburst of singing the last verse of the hymn "Dan dy fendith wrth vmadael," which speaks of the sweetness of the day when there shall be no more part- ing. no more tears. This was sung over and over again with thrilling effect.Brief speeches were then made by Oouncillor Tdris Williams, Porth the Rev. John Owen. Bod- ringallt: and the Rev. E. Richards, Tony- pnndv. The latter, in the course of a rousing speech, expressed a belief that God was in the present war, and that a new light would penetrate through the cracks which had been made in the walls which had for thousands of years stood behind the Chinese Empire.— I The rr.eetin<r vhen closed.

CARDIFF MYSTERY. Coroner Adjourhs the Inquest on the Body Found at Grangetown. On Thursday evening the borough coroner (Mr. E. B. Reece) held an inquiry at the Town- hall, Cardiff, into the circumstances attending the death of Joshua Ward, aged 34, a master mariner, who was on Wednesday morning found drowned in a ditch at the end of Pasret-st-reet. GraiM-etown. Cardiff.—From the evidence it appears that the deceased, who is a, native of Bowness. on Solway, had been staying at the Cardiff Sailors' Home for the pqst three weeks. The last time he was seen by any inmate of the home was mid-dav 011 Tuesday, although it was stated that he might [possibly h\>ve sl*pt in his room on the same night.—George Liddle, a cousin of the deceased who lives in Cumlxrland, sa,id that his relative bore a good character *<,d never indulged in drink. He always seemed in the best of spirits, and his mother had 1e- ceived a. cheering letter from him on Tuesday morning, saying he hoped soon to get a ship.— A builder's foreman, named Morgan, moved finding the body and giving notice at the Grangetown Police StatioIl,-Police-eonsbble Evans deposed to poms to the spot and seeing the body, which he did not attempt to take out, but went back to the station for assistance, and then sent Police-constable Wheeler to bring bark the body.—The Coroner censured this witness severely, and also the inquest-sergeant, who had omitted to summon Wheeler, the con- stable who had taken the bodv out of the water. and threatened to report both to the head- constable. He described the evidence as tirelv unsatisfactory. He must have evidence to show the position of the body when it v. a9 taken from the ditch, and he should adjourn the inquest for that purpose until this (Satur- I day) evening.

The main factors towards this p ossi result are the Siberian Railway, and a tunnel under the Behring Strait. The one is in steady progress of construction, the other has only been talked about. The Tiumen- Omsk section of the Siberian Railway, whioll was opened for passenger traffic on the 10th of this month, formed the first instalment of this colossal work. which is to dwarf all the longest Continental lines of the world. It is to be 6,700 miles in length, and a.s yet 800 miles only are in actual use. From Omsk, which is in the extreme wast of Siberia, it is to extend in a-n eastward direction to Cras- noiarski. a distance of Nearly lb000 miles. The embankments and cuts forming this divi- sion are already made, and work is already being actively conducted towards completion. From this point the road will follow a. more .southerly course to Irkutsk, go along the southern shore of the Lake Baikal, and through the valley of the Seeluig River, and cross the valleys of the Lena and the Amur to Lake Colan, where excellent coal has been found. Thence it runs eastward to the steam- boat station of Szejetinsk. on the Amur River, and follows the course of that stream south- eastward to Khabaroffka. There it will tun southward along the right bank of theUssuri, run to Graffeky, and termina.te at Vladivo- stock, on the Sea of Japan. From this port operations have been commenced in a north- westerly direction for some 200 miles, and th< road is actually running to Grapska. Thus it will be seen that about 1,000 miles, or nearly one-sixth of the entire distance, is virtually accom- plished. But innumerable and almost insur- mountable difficulties surround the bridg- ing of the gap between these two extremi- ties. Siberia is a big country. It is twice as large as the whole of the United States. Nine-tenths of its ten'itors' has never been explored. The route of fhe radl-road is near the fifty-fith parallel, that is, as far north as Southern. Alaska, and consequently the climate is very cold. The difficulty of pro- curing and transporting men and material is considerable. The iron will come largely;, from the Ural Mountains, near the western terminus of the road. One of the greatest difficulties encountered so far is the lack of building stone. In some places it has to be brought more than 300 miles, and where the rivers do not serve the cost of carriage is enormous. Ballast is also very scarce on. j the western part of the line. The natives, at best not very numerous, will not go far from home to work, and the climate is such. that operations are confined to a period be- tween the middle of May and the end of Serit-emiiber. Deducting' the numerous Rus- sian holidays and the rainy days, this leaves; about 100 days available for pushing an pro- cretM each year. Rails' are shipped from England through the Arctic to the mcuth of the Yenisi, a somewhat venturesome under- taking, and from there they are carried up the river by two steamboats, oae drawing 8ft. of water and the other, for service on the Augura, which drains Lake Baikal, hav- ing a draught of only 3ft. 6in.. These vessels are fitted out as for an Arctic expedition. On the eastern portion of the line the labow of convict exiles is being employed to a con- siderable' extent, and 25,000 of these are sai<i; to be now at work upon the railway. The Russian engineers e.stims,te that the cost of the line will vary from £6.000 to £ 14-,000 t mile, according to the difficulties to be over oome, but the entire sum cannot be lest than £ 60,000,000. This enormous ex pews will be entirely defrayed by the Imperial treasury. It is not supposed that the road. will pay for a great number of years, but the Czar is fully aware of its strategical T&WM. It will enable him to command the northern boundaries of his political neighbours with a. very much smaller military force than is required, to-day. When this railway is com- pleted. and official surmises fix the year 1901 for its opening, a journey about 8,000 miles long can be made from Paris to the Pacific at Vladivostock. It will probably re- ouire about three weeks of continuous travai to make it. The Behring Strait is only a. few miles wide at its narrowest point, anil the possibilities of a tunnel are now being seriously (i.vuswed. Our ocean greyhound.. may out down their records and annihilate tttme as much as they will, they cannot stamp out seasickness. There seems to be a bane possibility thait the opening of the twentieth century may see timid old ladiaa, to whom time is of no consequence, taking their annual trip to America over nearly 1 15'000 miles of ground instead of braving one-fifth that distance at sea.

BRISTOL CHANNEL DEFENCE. Discussion at the Swansea Chamber of Commerce Yesterday. The monthly meeting of the Swansea. Cliambw, of Commerce was held at the Town-hall, SWaB" sea, on Friday afternoon, Mr. J. R. Leaver preciding.—The cluef business of public intereafr was the consideration of a letter from the Car- diff Chamber of Commerce on the question of the defence of the Bristol Channel. The letter of the Cardiff Chamber enclosed a resolution asking the various chambers of the Channel porte to make a. strong and united representation to the Government as to the necessity of imme- diately talcing steps to provide defences for the Bristol Channel. The letter proceeded to refer to the deputation which waited on Mrs. Camp- bell-Bannerman in August. 1893, sad which elioited from tha.t gentleman a promise thftfc early attention should be given to the matter. Unfortunately, nothing had since been done, and the Cardiff Chamber now asked t.h&t t further and still stronger representation to the Government he made.—Mr. T. T. l'ascoe said he thought the chamber should give the matter their lieartv support.—Mr. Moffa.tt agreed, and said the support- should be of the heartiest cha- racter.—These matters cropped up occasionally, and there was a great outwry: then people went to sleep again, and not,hing was done. Nothing would be easiar than for a hostile cruiser or two to destroy all the docks and coal shipi>ing machinery in the Channel. The Mumbles Fort was as antiquated as the dodo, and there were really no defences at all in Swansea Bay- Mr. Farr and other gentlemen expressed simi- lar .opinions, and a resolution to 00-operate iati the agitation was passed.
