MMWMWT nWntfr Jl r y-affW iiW mw,T '■ 'j S The Welsh Church, DEBATE STILL PROCEEDING IN THE COMMONS. Mr. A. J. Williams Refers to the Western Mail" and its Special Letters. from Ireland. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Tuesday Night. Like another stage, the House of Commons has its light fore-piece or curtain-raiser to precede the serious business of the evening. To-d&y the humour of the situation was compressed within the eleven questions that stood first on the list, and were gone through with demure unconcern by the author, Mr. Weir, to whom Ministers made answer with the utmost brevity consistent with Parlia- mentary courtesy. But, although long suffering, the House has a limit to its patience. Three members in succession tackled the Chancellor on the subject. Had his attention been directed' to three questions ? pertinently asked Mr. Vioaiy Gibbs. Did he know that if every member asked as many questions they would occupy fifteen days and eight hours of the time of the House" asked Mr. Sam Evans, in a moment of arithmetical inspiration. And did he know that no Tory member had ever been guilty of such an iniquity straightly asked Mr. William Johnston. To all of which the Chancellor could but hopelessly wring his hands and aver that it was for the House to decidie. Whereat Mr. Weir simmered in his bliss to be the object of so much atten- tion. It was the good bap of members who came down to the House in time for the com- mencement of the debate to hear Mr. David Plunket. To hear Mr. Plunket is one of the rarer intellectual treats of Parliament. He is veritably the silver-tongued. Eloquence to him is natural. Speech flows from him in an even stream of unforced rhetoric, elegant in style as it is cogent in argument. Mr. Plunket is one of the most distinctively aristocratic men in the House. Like many men of long Parliamentary experience, he is bald, except for a fringe of almost white hair at the back of his head. He is tall and stalwart, his fine face is softened' by the play of the kindlier emotions that are conspicuous in his character. Gentle of speech, too, is he. There ate no torrential outbursts. The voice is soft and low, but withal sweet and strong. The effect is as if a great master of the art were playing exquisitely on the feelings of the House. This was abundantly the case tonight. The House, fuller than it has been on any opening hour since the debate com- menced, was enthralled, and listened in rapt silence. The Irish Nationalists, whose benches were the most thinly occupied of any in the House, craned their necks and leaned lorward to Citteh every word. The Liberal Unionists, with Mr. Courtney end Mr. Chamberlain at their head, lined their bench fully. Mr. Lloyd-George, whose speech is yawning for delivery, sat in the seat of the scornful. That is, he filled the top seat on the front bench below the gangway, usually occupied by Mr. Labouohere, while next to him, In the place of Sir Charles Dilke, was the not less portly and the eminently respectable figure of Mr. Alfred Thomas. The softening and refining influence of Mr. Plunket's eloquanoe ex- tended itself even to the applause. The cheers were an intermittent accompaniment to the text of the speech—low in tonp, but deep in the earnestness of expression. To have cheered loudly would have seemed a sacrilege. Mr. Plunket himself seemed to be imbued more than ordinarily with a sense of the solemnity of the occasion. The sole defect in his oratory is a stammer which compels an heroic effort to subdue. To-night, possibly from the emotion of the moment, it required a profound effort of the orator to lieerp under this defect, and he was at times less distinct than is his wont. But at times he was terribly distinct, as when, with magnificent scorn, he denounced Mr. Secretary Asquith's scandalous charges against Irish curates, which charges had already been fully investigated and disproved in the House. Mr. Asquith had a bad time while this was going on. He wriggled in his seat like a worm on the hook. A miserable attempt at a scornful smile was a disastrous failure, especially as he could get none of his colleagues to join in it other than Mr. Acland, who is not of much account. The rhetorical poverty of Ministers was shown by the fa/at that they had nothing better to put up after Mr* Plunket than Mr. George Russell, Radical autocrat and Ritua- list Liberator. It was a curious sort of speech he had to offer—academic in tone, but not above debating class quality, and tempered by a. clumsy wit that provoked laughter, but did not dispel the impression of insincerity. One >f Mr. Russell's worst efforts was to describe Mr. Henry Matthews, who is a Roman Catholic, as a Dissenter, obviously with an intention to sting. The best thing he said was when he pointed to Mr. Plunket as a survival of the brilliant eloquence of Lord Plunket. who used to hold the Houae spell- bound generations ago. lord Wolmer came out strongly as the second Liberal Unionist who has spoken out against the Bill. Between Mr. Abel Thomas and Sir Samuel Montague was sandwiched Mr. Stock, the Liverpool Churchman. The speech of Mr. A. Camp- bell against the Bill was remarkable in that his brother is Mr. Secretary Camp bell-Banner- man, who is one of those responsible for the Bill, and then came Mr. Robert Wallace, who, as an ex-divine of the Scotch Established Kirk, naturally laid hold of the Thirjry-nine Articles, which made a base of attack on Esta b lishm enta ri a n ism, to the support of which he dragged in critically caustic, but copiously compli- mentary, allusions to Mr. Balfour's reoent book. The galleries to-night were. more inspiring than they have been since the Liberationism debate commenced. The Bishop of St. Asaph, Lord Windsor, and Lord Limerick and Lord Kensington, the Whips of the two parties, were in the Peers' Gallery. In the Distinguished Strangers' Gallery were two Chinese gentlemen, clad in blue rab<&. They were apparently most interested in the cheers, and one of them explained to the other what was the meaning of the strange noises, which were strictly inconsistent with Chinese notions of politeness. When Mr. Russell opened his speech the Celestials 3ed. But the loss of colour caused by their depar- ture was made ujft by the entry; of two -m? ? ?t -I-

handsome non-commissioned officers of the Guards, who listened patiently to the debate. By far the most interesting and important personage was a tall, handsome young man, something like the Duke of York, who occupied a «4»t in the Ambas- sadors' Gallery. There he talked with Mr. Stuart Wortley, who had gone up to the Peers' Gallery, and taken the seat usually occupied by the Prince of Wales, over the oloek, where he could be near his distin- guished friend. The illustrious stranger was the Duke of SchlesrwigHolstein, brother of the Empress of Germany, and head of the family to which Prince Christian belongs. The duke wa sthe guest in the House of Mr. Stuart Wortley, who, through the courtesy of a. member of the Government, obtained for him the entry to the diplomatic gallery. The Duke is strongly imbued with notions on social and industrial questions, and at his request Mr. Stuart Wortley introduced him to several members, notably to Mr. Jonn Burns, with whom he went off for a long talk. Sir Henry Seymour King, whose magnifi- cent moustache and beard are the most admired features of the second Tory bench, was the successful one of about a dozen Tories who strove to catch the Speaker's eye. He contributed a. new interest to the debate by demanding that women, of whom there are millions interested in Church work, should have an opportunity of voting on the subject of Disestablishment before it was decided. Mr. A. J. Williarits made the best part of his speech out of quotations from the articles of the special oomrtuasioner sent by the "Western Mail" to Ireland. En passant, he complimented the "Western Mail" in teem the sinoerity of which could Juot be questioned. Apart from the "Western Mail" quota- tions, his best hit wa-s the unearthing of a quotation from Mr. Chamberlain, in which he had avowed himself a Libe:a.tutnist.

CARDIFF CARPENTERS. COJnJBMIT THE WAYS OF THE (TRADES' COUNCIL. The Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners and the General Union of Carpenters and Joiners, whose united numbers are upwards of 800 in Cardiff, held their annual meeting at the Lesser Park-hall a few days ago. Amongst other business on the agenda paper was a proposal to make a levy on all members except those in receipt of sick and superan- nuation pay of Is. each, in order to raise a snm of money to give the Trades' Congress a fitting reception to Cardiff this year, the money to be handed over to the Cardiff Trades' Council. The proposal was supported by several speakers, who pointed out the duty of the various trades in Cardiff of not being behind other and smaller towns in receiving the oongress on this their first meeting in Cardiff in a proper manner. An amendment was moved "that, whilst this meeting gentTally ar^roves of a fitting reception being given to the members of the Trades' Congress, we do not approve of the money being handed over to the Cardiff Trades' Council," and was carried by a large majority, on the grounds of the past actions of the Trades' Council being principally devoted to advancing the claims of political aspirants. It was pointed out to tile meeting that for several years past several of the branches of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners had declined affiliation with the council, on the ground of their one-sided political cha- racter.

Lord Swansea bequeaths to his brothers and sisters X20 each to his clerk (T. D. Lewis) and to Arthur S. Merry, of the Hafod Issa Works, S50 each; to his ser- vants of five years' service, each one year's wages to his sons, Ernest and John Aubrey respectively, the jewel cases and to Lady Swan- sea JE500, his leasehold house in Belgrave-square and its furniture, certain effects at Singleton, the use and enjoyment as long as she chooses to reside there of the mansion house of Singleton and its furniture, and of certain adjoining land, M a life annuity of £ 3,000 (in addition to the in- come from her marriage settlements, and an allowance of zC400 a year each for his younger sons whilst minors, and of C250 a year each for his unmarried daughters. Portions of £ 10,000 each are provided for the testator's daughters, and after the death of Lady Swansea a sum of jE10,000 is to be in trust to provide a home for such of his daughters as then remain unmarried. He bequeaths the plate which belonged to his father to his eldest son, and the remainder of his plate to his three younger sons. Lord Swan- sea makes heirlooms of the furniture and effects at Singleton, and be devises the Singleton Estate, subject to Lady Swansea's right of occupation of the mansion house, to the use of his eldest son for his life. He leaves the Park-le-Breos property and the effects there to his son, John Aubrey, Gelliher, Fairwood Corner and Whitewalls in trust for his son Henry Hussey, and Fairwood Lodge to his son Odo.

John Aubrey 25 per cent., and the testator's third son 25 per cent. but in that event the two elder sons are to bring their other shares into hotchpot. ————————

THEATRICAL ACTION. CLAIM AGAINST A iSWANSEA PUBLIC-HALL COMPANY. At Swansea County court on Tuesday (before Judge Gwilym Williams) Mr. J. E. Evans, theatrical manager, brought an action against the Swansea Public-hall Company for alleged breach of contract, claiming £ 22 19s. 8d. damages. It was stated that plaintiff had arranged for the production of "Charley's Aunt." Some weeks later, however, Mr. Phelps, secretary of the Publio-hall Company, let the hall for the first night the company was to appear for the purpose of holding an eistedd- fod.—Evidence was given to the effect that Mr. Phelps had admitted that he had made a mis- take, but repudiated responsibility, and in sup- port of the claim the defence, however, sub- mitted that the case must fall through on a point of law, and read a judgment of Justice Chitty on the point which it was contended was on all fours with the present case.—His Honour declined to accept the suggestion put forward, and Mr. Phelps entering the witness- box, the judge refused to believe his evidence, and gave judgment for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, with casts.

Miners Butcher Blacks A TRAGIC STOUY FROM THE GOLDFIELDS. Negroes who Stole a Syndicate's Pro- visions Pursued and Shot j Down. 1 By mail, via steamer Miowera, comes a tragio story from the distant gold fields of Western Ai stialia. Fabulous finds have lately been re- t ported from Ninety-Mile Point, between 50 and 150 ounces of pure gold being picked up on the surface of the ground. Pros- pectors pushed on for hundreds of miles beyond where white men had ever been aud were brought back ill with fever and plaoed in the Cooigardie Hospital, already overcrowded with dying miners. The fate of these desperate men did not deter eight new arrivals from forming a syndicate, and with heavy packs of provisions, water, and rifles they started for the new diggings in the extreme limit of Cooigardie to prospect in the interior. They started Decem- ber 1 last, and, nothing having been heard from them, it was supposed they had met death, until Dan Robertson, one of the syndicate, re- turned from his camp, 120 miles from Cool-' gardie, on January 21. He confessed to the police that after discovering a, mountain full of gold the party found that a band of blacks had stolen all their provisions. The syndicate pur- sued the blacks to their villages and butchered them all, shooting the men and braining the women and children. The other murderers j have been arrested. < The solid hill of quartz which the syndicate j found is 70ft. high, 250ft. wide at the base, and lift, at the summit, and is full of gold. The. rush is setting in to the scene of the find.

Even those* who differed from the views and sentiments oN Mr. Marchant Williams cordially recognised ht piquant pen, whilst Mr. Will Morgan's pencil* came in, as it richly deserved, for warm approvals (m every hapd. Nor were the publishers (Messrs.. Daniel Owen and Co.) forgotten in their enter- prise, worthy as it was of Wales and of them- selves. But there was this drawback, that the price of the volume was, to a certain extent, pro- j hibitive, and th§fc the masses—the keenest poli- | ticians of all—oould nob, especially in these 1 Jsprossed times, participate in what ie at once » J literary and artistic treasure. Aware of this, j Messrs. Daniel Owen and Co. have decided oa t • trying the experiment of bringing "Welsh Mem- j bers of Parliament" within reach of all, even the very poorest of the community. They will do 1 this by issuing the work in seventeen weekly parts at the low price of sixpence each, ths\ first part to be ready for publication to-day' (Wednesday). This offer is probably as unique, in political annals, M is the work itself—the> only complete art gallery of the kind that has ever been produced in Grea.t Britain. Those who have not seen "Welsh Members of Parlia- ment" should order Part I., and, when they haver admired its litemry ability and its artistic excel- lence, they will not rest till they have acquired the whole seventeen parts, deeming them dirf cheap at sixpence each. The portraits, be it recollected, are not mere smudgy re-productiont of photographs, but artistic studies from life, in which the features and the attitude of t.h4( various members are marvellously reproduced— no photograph could possibly compare in vivid,- reality with the finest of Mr. Morgan's efforts.; The expense attendant on the publication of "Welsh Members of Parliament"—produced, be it noted, entirely by Welshmen in Wales—has been such that nothing but a very large sale can recoup Messrs. Daniel Owen and Co. for their plucky and patriotic enterprise. We, therefore, hope that a large proportion of our readers will subscribe to the weekly issue ofli "Welsh Members of Parliament," and so be the possessors of a work that is of great value now and must become increasingly precious as tim* goes by.

JABEZ /BALFOUB* QUESTIONS IN THE HOUSE O* ^COMMONS. In the House of Commons on Tuesday nighty Sir E. GREY (Under-Secretary for Foreign: Affairs), in reply to Mr. Darling (C., Depb- ford), said the judgment of the court at Saltw was delivered on the 20th. and was decidedly unfavourable to Jabez Balfour in the K-lix suit. The appeal court had also quashed this suit. It still Temained for the judge to decide if there was ground for action in the law suit called, in the name of Borthwiok. the lessee of the brewery, and whether that suit was civil or criminal. That was the only remaining obstacle to the extradition of Jabez BaJfonsr. The Foreign Office only heard this morning of the proceedings in the Klix suit, and it was not unreasonable to suppose that, as Borth- wiok was the lessee of the brewery of wfiiA Klix was the owner, that the decision in the Klix suit would carry with it the decision in the Borthwick suit.

Mr. David: As a matter of fact, it is.-In answw to further questions the debtor aid he was unable to explain how an item of Ll,527 7s. Ed. had been made up which had been entered as having been the net lose sustained in carrying on the business. He had sent as gifts a gold watch and chain, for which he had paid Mr. Freedmau, of Dowlais, £ 20 Its., to his father during last year at Stockholm. He had sent nothing else to his father at any time, except- ing some small presents at Christmastide.—The debtor was alro e-xa-tnined at some- length by Mr. Williams.—Mr. David, at the close, said that, as the trustee was not in a position to give his certificate that the accounts filed were even yet satisfactory, he must ask that the suspended order made by Judge Owen for the debtor's committal to prison for contempt should now be put in force.—The learned Registrar said that, under the circumstances, the order mtMtJ take effect.
