I Notes from London ALL THE GOSSIP OF TOWN AND CLUBS. Ebnclon County Council.—Petitions to Parliament .Workmen's Dwel- lings Purchase. THe Tory members of the London County Council at their meeting this afternoon adhered strictly to the attitude I have been assuming they would take. They will be willing to accept a. fair compromise on the terms I have indicated, namely, the vice-chairmanship, half the aldermen, and half representation on the committees. If the Progressives insist on less equitable terms they will find the Tories prepared to fight to the last. They are ready with a chair- man, a vice-chairman, and nine aldermen, if need be. I cannot imagine that the Pro- gressives will spoil a compromise by haggling over an odd alderman, and, therefore, it may be taken that an arrangement will be arrived at. The Tories will not tolerate th.3 re-eleatdon of Mr. Dickinson as salaried deputy-chairman. They will probably agree to the whole subject of the appointment being referred to a. committee. WATER COLOUR SHOW. More generous than any of its compeers, the Institute of Painters in Water Colours gives two days to private view, besides a press day. The last private view was to-day, and the beautiful galleries in Piccadilly were well-filled, but not overcrowded. It was a day of spring, with sunshine and a bright sky. but the dread of a preseit east wind and a possible influenza had its effect, and the costumes were more noticeable for sombre tint and warm substantiality than for the bright tones and grey garniture of spring toilets. Possibly, the most imposing canvas is Sir James Linton's portrait picture of "Celia," a charming maiden of wamonly proportions, with a sweet face, a big I .'lack hat, flounced sleeves, and so artfully posed as to show the face in profile and the full back with the hands negligently crossed bsnmd. The exhibition is, however, one of arrangement rather than distinguished by surpassing success. There is a great deal of painstaking and beautiful work, and from the men there stand out boldly a fe-v pictures, such as Miss Marian Chafe's charming little interiors and bits of still life, full to reple- tion and rather crowded, and it is a testi- mony to the picturesque individuality of Miss Chase that one was able to identify success- fully each one of her pictures without refe- rence to the catalogue. "The Gathering of the Mistletoe," by Henry H. Rheam, a train of stately and beautiful young priestesses returning with the spoils of the forest, and John Scott's forcible picture of hawking practice, in which the figures, so full of life. almost start out of the canvas, are amongst the most striking show pictures. IN THE HOUSE, A new phenomenon was added to the Parliamentary record to-day. There was a collapse of questions—such a collapse as no member can remember to have occurred before. Tvro duaeu questions- v-yt vL. tii*. paper, bat very few members. Under ordi- nary circumstances, the tvvo dozen would have swollen to fifty or sixty. Ministers, or rather most of the Ministers, were present, primed with their answers, but for the first tone hecklers failed them. Mr. Speaker with due solemnity went through the list till he came to number seventeen, standing in the rarne of Mr. Radcliffe Cooke, who wanted cider for the Navy. Mr. Oooke was present, but the Navy happened to be the one gap in the Ministerial line. The calling over the list was proceeded with, and on the second round Colonel Howard Vincent turned up, and, as Mr. Robertson, the Civil Lord, hap- pened also to then come in, the colonel en- joyed the unique distinction of being the only member whose question was answered. Mr. Speaker went patiently through the list for the second time without avail, and there- upon announced that, as members were not present, their questions could not be put. After twenty minutes' waste of time, there- fore, the House went into Committee of Supply on the Supplementary Estimates. THINGS AWRY IN THE HOUSE. Mr. John Ellis was in the chair this after- roon, and he distinguished himself by taking a division without challenging the House. The correct course is to put the question, and then to announce, "The Ayes have it or "The Noes have it," whereupon the divi- sion (is challenged by members. Mr. ElKs, however, merely put the question the first time, and incontinently carried the House to a division. This was on the Zanzibar slave trade question, whereby Ministers had a majority of 47. It wa-s In this division, also, that one of the Tory tellers Mr. Howard, a member for Middlesex, deceived the House by getting to the wrong side, that is to say, the right sidte, which is always taken by the winning teller. Mr. Ellis is the third Chair- man the House has had this week. In the absence of Mr. Mellor, the chair is being filled from the panel of Deputy-Chairmen. We have had Sir Julian. Goldsmid. Mr. Roby, and Mr. John Ellis within two sittings. Each of these Peps:t-Chairmen has opinions of his own. and their decisions are sometimes in conflict. Mr. Gibson Bowles effectively pointed the moral of this to-night when, indicating Mr. Roby, who had given a notoriously questionable decision last niarht. he called attention to the fact that Mr. Ellis had reversed it. PETITIONS TO PARLIAMENT. The petition season has set in with modi. fied severity. Up to March 4 323 petitions had been presented and dealt with by the Committee on Public Petitions. The biggest is the petition presented by Colonel Howard Vincent against the immigration of pauper aliens. It had 32.901 signatures, yet appears in tiie summary marked "0." How the Com- mittee could reconcile it with their conscience to pass a petition that had no signatures ought to be explained. Next comes 10,058 signatures to petitions for open competition examinations for the Indjan Civil Service r-imultaneously in England and India. Against Welsh Disestablishment there are 8,287 peti- tioners, and 3,846 against the importabion of prison-made goods, while there are only 3205 petitioners in favour of the Local Option Bill. WORKMEN'S DWELLINGS PURCHASE. Mr. Wrightson, the member for Stockton, has been invited to address the United Club on the 19th inst. on the subject of his Bill to enable workmen to purchase their dwell- ings with the help of funds advanced by the local corporation on the principle of the Irish Land Purchase Acts. Mr. Wrightson's Bill was practically accepted during the recent London elections. It is favoured by Mr. Balfour, and is now practically a plank in the Tory platform. It was long ago adopted by Mr. Chamberlain, and Mr. Stanley Boulter has made it his special work to advocate the measure. The United Club is composed of members who speak all over the country in the Unionist interest, and their leg-up to the Bill will give it the most extensive support.

mVRCK IN WALES.I
mVRCK IN WALES. Q-ROTTWN'L'P SS CHARGES BY NON- CONFOBJIIST MH. INTERS. The London "Daily News" has commissioned a special correspondent to "do" the Church in Wales. This fractionary has already com- menced operations, and in yesterday's issue of that paper he retails some gossip which he picked up among Nonconformist ministers at Swansea. Speaking of the Church in that district, the correspondent says — In Swansea, for instance, the Church of luig- land is in competition, so to speak, with -.our denominations of Nonconformists — Congrpga- tionalists, Baptists, Weeleyans, and Calvinistic Methodists—and either one of these bodies is numerically far stronger than the Church. In the parish adjoining Swansea., Llangyfelach, the largest parish in Wales. I am told there are only three churches, while there are upwards of 40 ohapels, and at one of these c-bajiels — 'the Tabernacle at Morriston—there is an attendance twice as large as that of all the three churches combined. Even in and around the chief cent-res of popu- lation the Established Church is in a. very small minority, the Welshmen maintain. In no sense can it be said to be the Church of the people in no fair sense can it be said to be the national Church. It is. however, strong and flourishing. It is the Church of the wealthy. It does minister to a considerable section of the community, I and the cost of its maintenance does not fall directly and appreciably upon the people. But. say the Welshmen, get away from the busy centres of population and of wealth—awav from the localities in which, under any circum- stances, the English Church would of course be perfectly well able to maintain its own posi- tion-get away from the English settlements in Wales into the purely Welsh districts, and you will find the Established Church is nowhere at all. Churches have no congregations, they have no influence, no power at all for anything but to breed strife and discord, and for the maintenance of these useless churches and their clergy the farmers around have to pay heavy tithes.. "Thev are building and restoring churches," said one. "but how are they doing it? Is it the people themselves who build them? EveTy chapel we set up is our own work. The Welsh are a poor, hard-working people; but for every oha.pel of theirs the money comes out of their own pockets. Every building they set up is a. monument of their own self-sacrifice and strong religious prinoiple. But do the Church con- gregations set up their handsome buildings for themselves? Of course they don't. They couldn't possibly do it. Some wealthy member of the- Establishment outside finds the money to put up a new church or to restore an old one. and the NonconformifÎtB are burdened with tithes to pay the parson. And then the bishops make a great cackle over the progress of the Church and thank God they are getting the upper hand of Dissent." "gYell where they profess to be most suc- cessful." said the Rev. John Matthews, ^Con- gregational minister of Swansea, to-day. "they are making nothing like the progress that we are making. Take the Rhondda Valley, for irstance, where they are boasting of their new churches. Nonconformists are multiplying their places of worship far more rapidly than the Church. Here are the figures, and you rvay publish them without the least fear of contradiction. In 1366 the Church of England had four churches in the Rhondda Valley, a vale of Glamorganshire about twelve miles long. Welsh Nonconformists had 11; of English Nonconformists there were none. In 1870 the Church had 7. Welsh Nonconformists 21. English 9. In 1884 the Church had 11. Welsh 70, English 28. In 1892 the Established Church had 16. Welsh Nonconformists 75, English Nonconformists 41, and the Catholics one. And this is the place where the Church boosts of her greatest progress. The Estab- lishment has increased its places of worship from 4 to 16; Nonconformity from 15 to 117."

TELEGRAPH MONEY ORDEitS. Mr. Henniker Heaton has given notice of a question in the House of Commons as to the desirability of extending the telegraph money order system of the United Kingdom to France and the Continent generally. The member for Canterbury points out that the cables are now under State control, and that, consequently, there can be no difficulty about the matter. He further directs the Postmaster-General's atten- tion to the fact that telegraph money orders can now be sent from France to Egypt and vice versa.. and asks why a similar arrangement can. not be made between Egypt and England.

ISUNDAY CLOSItfGL
I SUNDAY CLOSItfGL PROPOSED EXTENSION TO NOW .j& O O li, rLA-JlJi. The idea of ex tec-ding the "blessings" of Sun- day Closing to Monmouthshire, as proposed in the amending Bill of the Welsh Sunday Closing Act. does not find favour in the county borough of Newport, although very few people attach any seriousness to the attempt. Mr. Thona-s Kessick, clerk to the Newport justices, when asked his opinion on the sub- ject., was emphatically against the proposal. "Look at the relative advantages," he re- marked, "we have in Newport over Cardiff. We have no shebeens or bogus clubs here, and I should be very sorry to see any of those places set up in Newport. I believe that the Act has been the means of doing an immense moral mis- chief in Cardiff, and attempts at repression here would probably have a similar effect." The head-constable (Mr. A. I. Sinclair) con- firmed Mr. Kessick's statement that the county borough of Newport was free from shebeens and bogus clubs, and also declared that the Sunday drunkenness in Newport was far below that of Cardiff, taking it pro rata with the population. He did not believe that the repression of Sunday Closing would suit large industrial towns and districts, though it might suit rural places.
LOST HIS FOOTING.
LOST HIS FOOTING. ONE OF THE ROUSBEY OPERA COMPANY KILLED ON G.W.R. As the five o'clock train for Worcester and Birmingham was about to go out of the Great Western Railway Station a-t Cardiff on Fri- day evening a man was observed to be standing on the footboard of one of the ooaches apparently taking leave of someone inside the train. The train started, and when it had travelled about 45 yards the man. being then just opposite the station master's office, jumped on to the plat- form, lost his footing, and fell between the platform and the footboard of the moving train. When the train—only two more coaches of which remained to pass—had gone by. the man was found in the four-foot way. He was immediately taken to the infirmary, where he was attended by Dr. Cresswell. His injuries were very severe, his body being badly orushed. It transpired that the unfortunate man's name was Mr. John Webb, and it was stated that ha was at Cardiff with the Rousbey Opera. Ccmpany, with whom he was engaged in the orchestra- Despite medical assistance, how- ever, Mr. Webb gtradually sanik, and succumbed to his injuries about half-past nine. An inquest will be held.

Haunted by Angels.
Haunted by Angels. A SUICIDE'S STRANGE DE- LTTSION. Wentworth Writes a Rambling Letter Before He Shoots Himself in Cleve- land Hotel. J. C. Wentworth, a travelling agent for a lumber company at Cleveland (America), committed suicide at a hotel on Wednesday morning. His body was not discovered until the following morning. From a letter found on a table in the room it was evident that the man was demented when he committed the deed. Wentworth went to the hotel on Mon- day night and engaged a suite of three rooms. When the chambermaid rapped at the door on Wednesday morning there was no response, and she did not return until the evening. Fail- ing to arouse the occupant of the room she reported the matter, and it was decided not to knock again until the next morning. There was no answer to the raps, and the door waa opened. In the bedroom of the apartments Wentworth was found lying on the floor in front of the bureau, with a blood-clotted bullet wound in the forehead just above the nose. A rambling, unaddressed letter on the table was fcind. In the letter Wentworth complains j of being haunted at night by angels' faces, sc mcny of them that they covered the walls, floor, and ceiling of his room. These spirits came only at night (he wrote), and never bothered him while he was attending to his business during the day. lie concluded the strange communication by saying that he gave his Bible away, and hoped the receiver of it would be able to find the things ho hunted for. After commenting upon the uncertainty of the future, he predicted that every one will go to Heaven, where lie expects to meet his friends. The only regret he expressed was that he had not told any one of the trouble which he felt was coming. As soon as the body was discovered the coroner was notified, and he went to the hotel to make an investiga- tion. He found the dead man lying on the floor, with a revolver clasped in the right hmd. The large blood-stain on the carpet was perfectly dry, as were the clots on the letter and table. The blood from the hole in the forehead had spread over the man's face, and had matted his dark hair, giving the thin face a horrible appearance. Wentworth must have fired the shot while sitting at the table writing his unfinished letter. The only effects- found in the room were a. small grip and an umbrella. No letters were found. A news- paper clipping of an article on Napoleon suicide" was found on the table. Wentworth was not known at the hotel, and no information could be obtained about him there. One of the clerks remembered that he was at the hotel in Decembar, but was in the office only to register when he arrived and to pay his bill before going away. The deoeased was :tbc)T]t 35 years of !,o;c The toHo\"ing 1" a copy of the letter found on the table m Went worth's room:- "I am so sick; so sick, my bead has gone baok on me. Am I onxy? Don't say I am. These faces, these faces, why do they oome to be so muoh at night-aft midnight, so long. No one knows it; no one can see them. They can't come to me in daytime. They can't keep me from business. Two w-?eks ago they all came at night, and I can't fight them off. If I had only told someone, but I dijdnt. They stretch their hands over me. They are polling me up. They say 'Come! oome!' Whv dId I use this weapon. Why don't someone help me. I have seen all this ahead a long time now. No one can tell by what I say to them in, the daytime, only midnight. They wake me. They come in my dreams. I can't fight them off. Why can't I ifeaoh that ideal hfe ? I so wanted to; why did I hold back? My head and my stomaoh are broken. I seem all right. 1 bey have alway tad their mystery—mystery. Their angel faces.

Why do they oome this morning and press me down ? All night they have had me. I tried to shake them off and go home. I started for home; why did I stop? Here they are so many, so many. That's what it says in the New Testa- ment. I gave my bible away yesterday. May- be he can read it and not tell any more than I did. How much I have thought of what was to be, and not told anyone about it, No one knows, no one knows, where we aire going. We will all go to heaven. I will meet them all there. I know I will. I am so tired of living. I must go, they say. You must, you must, and I will-"
! CARDIFF BRIDGE COLLAPSES
CARDIFF BRIDGE COLLAPSES NARROW ESCAPE OF BUTE DOCKS WORKMEN. An accident, which caused oooIsideraYe damage and obstructed, for some little time, traffic at the Cardiff Docks, occurred on Fri- day afternoon, when the footbridge near Tyndall-street, which passes over the Bute Docks Engineering Works. was demolished by a passing crane. The bridge is a wooden structure, and has stood for twelve years. It was supported by three wooden uprights, and, passing over the Mnto Docks Railway and parting over the junction waterway, was the only avenue for pedestrians between the East and West Doeks. It appears tha* about 4.30 one of the Bute engines was shunting some coal trucks from the Tyndall-street yard 1 to the main line. Attached was a heavy five-ton crane. The jib of the crane was pitched too high, and came in contact with the top of the bridge, the whole of which. fell down with a tremendous crash. This is the first accident of the kind that has happened at the spot, and it is singular that the men in charge of the train, who were, of course, used to the work, forgot on this occasion to lower the jib. The bridge came to grief just as the employes were receiving their weekly wages, and some hundreds of people were immediately upon the spot. About twenty men were at once put on to clear away the debris, and in an hour and a half the whole of the rubbish had been re- moved. The wall abutting the bridge on the -right hand side was also knocked down, the massive timbers falling heavily upon the masonry. The junction bridge on the left hand side remains intact. The engine and two trucks had passed safely under before the bridge came to grief. The crane was strained a little, but no damage was done to the trucks, and it is a fortunate circum- stance that no one was injured. The damage done is estimated at about JB200.
