COAL TRABE CRISIS. DO THE HAULIERS MEAN TO STRIKE? The "Financial News," in a leading article on the present crisis in the South Wales coal trade, after referring to the position. of affairs and the pending ballot of the colliers on the question of whether they should withdraw their notice to stop work and again adopt the slid- icg-seale arrangement, says:—"Our impression is that neither party wants to fight; but the fear is, nevertheless, tha.t matters may drift. If the result of the ballot should be in favour of the renewal of the scale the position will be simplified, because there is little doubt that when a scale has been settled the employers will waive the notioe they have given. It is, in connection with the position—already serious enough—a reprehensible thing for anyone to put in cir- culation rumours which are not correct. It has been represented in one of the South Wales papers that even if the colliers continue to work a.fter the end of this month, the hauliers are determined not to do so. There is no reason for this statement. It is true the hauliers claim to have grievances of their own. and that they are at this moment endeavouring to move the Home Secretary to inquire into the alleged ifltreatment of horses underground, at the instance (as alleged) of employers, in South Wales. Such issues should not, however, be confounded with the general crisis. As a fact. the hauliers have passed no resolution to defeat the colliers* as from the objectionable rumours would appaar to bove been He cua" FURTHER RESULTS OF THE BALLOT. THE COLLIERS SUPPORT THE SLIDING-SCALE. The votts recorded at the Plymouth Collieries, Merthyr, show a large majority .n favour of the continuation of the sliding-scale.

Mr. Alfred Thomas,'M.P., introduced to the Home Secretary on" Friday afternoon Mr. Morgan Thomas, general secretaj-y of the hauliers and wavmen of South Wales and Monmouthshire, a.id Mr. Gill, treasurer of the fX'iety. The two representatives desired him to call the attention of Mr. Asquith to the question of '.ruelty to animals, which, they oliege, is very prevalent in many collieries. Mr. Morgan Thomas gave the Home Secretary M,.ny instances in support of his allegations, and he was supported by Mr. Gill. Mr. Asquith, in reply, thanked the two Soi;th Walians for the cognent manier in which they had sitated their case, and said that, if they would send him a written report, embodying their assertions, he would go carefully mto the whole question, aajd to do all that was possible to remedy the evils complained of.

Accident to Councillor White. Councillor White, of Cardiff, met with a rathtr bad accident whep in London on busi- ness on Friday. He was making for his totel -the Inns of Court—about five o'clock to get his luggage, preparatory to leaving by the 5.45 train for home, and was waiting behind a 'bus to cross the street when a doctor's carriage came into collision with that vehicle. Coun- cillor White was struck on the shoulder and face by the splashboard of the doctor's carriage. The Tight cheek under the eye was badly cut, and the wound bled profusely, but, fortunately, the injury is not of a serious character. He was conveyed to a chemist's shop, where the wound was attended to. and he was able to leave bt the express as he intended.

SERIOUS LOCAL FAILURE. MR. THOMAS CORY SUSPENDS PAYMENT. It is with regret that we learn from our Swansea. correspondent that Mr. Thomas Cory, of Swansea, who for many years has been cne of the foremost merchants in South Wales, suspended payment on Friday. Mr. Thomas Cory is a brother of Mr. John Cory and Mr. Richard Cory, of the firm of Cory Bros. and Co. (Limited), of Cardiff. He has no oonneo- tion with this firm, but is a director of the Rhondda. and Swansea Bay Railway Company, of the Penrhiwceiber Coal Company (Limited), of the Graigola. Coal Company (Limited), of the International Coal Company (Limited), and other companies. For many years he resided at Sketty Court, Swansea, and carried on an extensive business at Swansea as a. colliery proprietor and coal merchant. For the past few years, he has lived at Neville Court, Tun- bridge Wells, spending several days weekly at Swansea to attend to his business there. Mr. Cory wati chairman of the directors of the Bank of Waifs (Limited), and on that bank going into liquidation he was appoiucwl joint liqui- dator witfe Mr. C. E. Dov»y, public accountant, of 'Cardiff. At the recent general meeting of the shsreholders at Cardiff Mr. Vachell, solicitor to the liquidators, skated that he had received from Mr. Cory, and had recently paid to the credit of the liquidation. £ 10,000, being money received by Mr. Cory from the general manager of the bank in the matter of the pur- chase by the Bank of Wales of the North Wales banking business of fugh Jones and Co. Mr. Dovey, in reply to questions put to him at the meeting, said that Mr. Cory had not had any personal overdraft at the bank, and was only overdue to the bank in a comparatively small sum in the matter of a colliery company in which Mr. Cory had an interest. It is said that Mr. Cory has paid to the bank since he has been director an amount of over JB15,000 in respect of accounts which he guaranteed on introducing them to the bank, and that during the past three years he has paid away in losses in unsuccessful investments made by him over £ 50,000. At the share- holders' meeting of the Bank of Wales it was determined to at once proceed against the directors of the bank for losses made by the shareholders through the alleged negligence of the directors. Mr. Cory realised that in these circumstances he could no longer properly continue to lie a liquidator of the bank, and he resigned his office. The result of this has been to cause a. run upon him by his credi- tors, and he has been served with writs by several of them, some being for moneys for which he was a guarantor. Mr. Cory had been already largely assisted by his friends and had paid large sums of money, but. in the face of judgments now entered against him and a very large claim to be put forward by his recent co-liquidator for negligence in the matter of his directorship of the Bank of Wales, his friends felt they must decline to make further advances, and Mr. Cory accord- ingly suspended payment. Great sympathy will be felt for Mr. Cory throughout South Wales, as he has always been popular and respected in mercantile circles, and until a comparatively recent date has not only been wealthy, but most liberal and generous. Mr. Cory's books are in the hands of the accoun- tants, and it is not yet known what his liabili- ties and assets are, but we learn that his liabili- ties are a. very much smaller sum thap would be expected from the extensive business he has carried on for so many years, probably not more than £ 20,000. This is said to be owing to numerous claims having been sued for by creditors and paid by Mr. Cory and his friends. His petition has been filed at Swansea by Messrs. Vachell and Co., of Cardiff.

—am-Miii»iiii—MB—————i LtTSS OF THE ROYAL WELSH. THE CAPTAIN TELLS OF THE SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW. On Monday Captain Tate and the crew of tilie steamship Royal Welsh, arrived in Caj-din, by the Great Western Railway, from London. It will be remembered that the Royal Welsh founxJered during a gale about ten days ago. The men took to the boats, and, after ex- periencing greai i iivaticns through cold and exposure, were brought home by s steamer bound to London. The managing owners of the Royal Welsh were MessrS. Christie and Co., Cardiff. On Friday evening one of our reporters saw Captain Thomas A. Tate at his residence, 8, Albany-road. Questioned as to the disaster, Captain Tate said they left Antwerp for Rio die Janeiro, and on Sunday, lite 10th of March, When in 36 N., 14 W., they encountered a regular tturricajfte. The sea was running very high. Towards noon on Mon- day, Hie 11th, the well was sounded, and lift, of water was found in the main hold. All the wimps were nvamnedt. but the water steadily increased. At mid- night on Monday the waiter had reached the 'tween decks, and the main decks were awash with the sea. Seeing that the vessel was bound to founder, the men were ordered into the boats. They lay off about a couple of hundred yards from the vessel in two of the lifeboats, which, were provisioned for ten days. About six o'clock in the morning the Royal Welsh went down head first. The boats were then steered to tihe east, making for the Canary Islands. Some time afterwards they sighted the mail steamer Danube, which took them on board, thoroughly exhausted and ready to drop. It is impossible to say how the leak occurred, or in M'hat position it was. The vessel had' before going to Antwerp been under survey at Swansea and had gone direct to the Continent to load. The shipwrecked men on board the Danube were treated with the utmost kindness, and were taken to Teneriffe and brought home on the steamship 1 Damascus, whose officers again treated them as well as they possibly could.

GLADSTONE AT BEAULIEU. APPRECIATIVE SKETCH BY A NEW YORK JOURNALIST. Mr. Ballard Smith, writing from Beaulieu, The Riviera, to rhe "New York World." describes a visit he paid to the Hotel Cap Martin, where the Empexor of Austria, with his suite, was staying at the time, in the course of which he makes the following reference to Mr. Glad- stone :—"In this same hotel rotunda, within the hour, we are to see a greater man than any h.creditary king or emperor or potentate of to- day, of yesterday, of the ctutury. Luncheon is just over when Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone come down from their rooms and take seats among the other guests before the fire, awaiting their carriage. The venerable statesman looks much older and more worn than when I saw him in London as he started for the Kiviera, said when he gave the message to the Irish of America which I then cabled to 'The World.' The arduous journey in the Litter cold weather v hich met him in France, and its extra' wdi iarv continuance here in the Riviera, have evidertly been most prejudicial to him. He walked very fvebly to his carriage, escorted! on the cne side by his faithful wife and on the other by the Liirdlv less faithful Mr. G-eorcfe Armitst?ad— many times millionaire, who seems to have no object in life beyond this friendship a.nd almost constant attendance—and now for the first time in his adult life looks all his ag-e. I had come to the hctel hoping that Mr. Gladstone might, wish to say something more to the American prlilif on the prospects of Home Rule in Iie- land, but Mr. Armitstead pleads that the states- man is in too feeble condition to talk upon polities, and that his restoration to health de- niands absolute rest from all political concerns for the present. The ex-Express Eugenie is ano' her guest at. the hotel, except tha.t she occu- pies a i-ottatfe in the ground. and she, too, takes her daily walk abroad with a single atten- dant, or more often alone. She also seems very feeble, and looks very old, supporting livu-self with a strong crutch-stick. She has lost -very trace of her former beauty and graceful car- riage."

Killed a Man Every Year A BLOODTHIRSTY AFRICAN BRIGAND. 1 Some Facts About the Career and HorrTble Tortures Practised by Areski, a Tiger of the Desert. Th.-> most, ferocious nd successful brigand and assassin that the modern world has known has just been arrestedj in his career of robbery, murder, and abduction in the rocky defiles of the mountain country adjacent on the north to the gr "it African, desert. This country is called Kabvles, and its inhabitants are Berbers, an untamable and bloodthirsty nice, descenctd from aboriginal Africans and claiming desert from Ham, the son of Noah. Areskiu-el-Bach ir (the butcher) is a worthy descendant of such a stock. He is now 45 years of age, and, by his own confession, has, in obedience to a vcw, for he is a most pious Mussulman, siain a man for every year of his life. How many more he has disposed of in the way of business he -in- clines to sbte. He is about 5ft. lOin. in height, well made, and sinewy. His fingers are long ,and tapering, and have a marked resemblance to the talons of a bird of prey. His feet are arched and small, his forehead high but re- treatin.g, and thickly seamed with wrinkles. His c-ves are piercing when aroused, but at rest are veiled and somnolent, like those of most Orientals. In fact, hie countenance has many characteristics of the wild creatures of the rocks and woods. In ancient times the land of Egypt was subjeot to invasion and conquest by these fierce and relentless mountaineers, and mural paintings, monuments and pictured papyri have preserved ".he forbidding and fierce figures of these dark-skinned robbers. Their original names of "Mayzgi," or "Magdi." or "Mahzy," were handed down in their legends as demons and evil .Tins iitder the name of "Mazikeon," and were used by mothers to frighten naughty children. The robberies of this modeim Barabas re-eal3 the exploits of Robin Hoodl and Fra Diavolo, save that they are unrelieved by the tinge of chivalry tliat lent a fictitious but pleasing glow of romance to the deeds of those dwellers "under the green- wood tree." Areski is a prosaio villain, but none the less a. master villain, to whom such rose-water ruffians as Claude Duval, Robin Hood, or Fra Diavolo must yield the palm. They never marked their birthdays by human sacrifices. At the head of a. band1 of 25 robbers Areski has terrorised all Kabyles, and set at 1 defiance t.ha forces sent against them by the French Colonial Government. His men are as murderous as himself. All but one are in cho' vigour of life; they are from twenty to forty years of age, and extremely secretive. Wrapped in their burnous, a flowing robe, silent and im- movable they await their prey. They have slain, robbed, and. cheated, but, strange to say, only their own compatriots, for their is no le- cord of any white man having been molested by, tiiera, and for this reason—t-Wy look rpon the in teiferencs of strangers as uncalled for and unfair. Areski has been many times caught, and even sentenced, but until -iowhas contrived to escape by the aid of false witnesses. Unfortunately for him, lie committed the grave error of mur- dering a man "with a pull." His last victim, an Arab sheikh, Abdul-Reschid by name, held ftiendly relations with the French Governor- Gtneral of Algeria. While carrying the tri- bute of several native villages to Algeria, he was captured, robbed of the money, a,nd put to death with horrible torture. He was beaten with rods of the thoruy hibiscus, common to the country, his hands and feet were cut off, his tongue torn out by the roots, and, to finish all, his eyes were put out, and he was stabbed to death with a hundred wounds. The Colonial Governor at once sent a.:) overwhelming force of native police and French military to rap- ture El rktchir and his band. The strange discovery was made among the effects in Areski's camp of a well-thumbed copy of the Koran. A richly-carved and gilt rosary, such :.s is used by dervishes, was also taken from the bosom of his drtss, so that it does nofcxappear that this tiger of the desert did not appear that his life of murder and robbery in any \» iso ei dangered his passage of the bridge "Al Sirat," finer than a hair, over which the true belter in Islam must walk bare-footed to Paradise, or, falling from which, by reason of the weight of his sins against the faith, must drop headlong into the embrace of hell. Not- withstanding his .crimes, Areski fottnd favour and assistance with the very people among whom he murdered and robbed. This waa owing to his undaunted bravery and the report that his body was impervious to ordinary wea- pons, and that his life could be only taken, by means of a s-ilver bullet consecrated with my sterious ceremonies to "Azrael," the angel of death, ?nd to Eblis," the nioi arch of hell. A few years ago Areski was a porter on the quays of Algiers. Having oommitted a robbery upon a, fellow workman, he fled to his native village, where he assembled a band of villains, over whom he established complete mastery. One day three of his band gave into his hartds a sum of 700 francs which they had stolen from a. traveller. The next day, learning that the traveller was a. Venerable marabout of Soummam. he hastened to restore the stolen money and slew the prin- cipal robber. From that time forth the nama of Areski was respected by the most influential marabouts, and the wise men of the country declared that he was under the special protec- tion of the Prophet. One day. at a family fete, Areski assembled at Bou-Hini. his native village, all the natives of the country. More than a thousand guests were. present at a festi- val where the Nautoh-Wallahs, or dancing girls, displayed their most fascinating graces and gathered more than two thousand francs from the spectators, which they dutifully handed over to the bandit chief. It was ov-ing to the excesses committed oil this occa- sion that lie and his band were captured at the moment they were about to escape. Being tried and condemned to death, the robber- assassin and his band displayed the brutish resignation that distinguishes the Berber at his last gasp. The faith of Islam inculcates the belief that every mail's "kismet," or destiny, is written upon his forehead by the finger of Allah, and that no efforts of his can change it. Consequently, when his time comes the Mussul- man wraps his head in his mantle and awaits r: death imperturbably, murmuring "Allah-il- AHah. Muhammad resoul Allah," which he txlieves to be the shiblioletli or password which will admit him into the gates of Paradise. Thus dnrintr his trial, when the President of the Assizes put the usual questions, Areski replied. "The dead speak not." And from that moment till the fatal sentence was pronounced. like I ago, "he never more spoke word."

Mr. Asquith said the Government was already m favour of raising the half-timers to twelve years, and if it could be incorporated without imperilling the Bill no one would be happier than he. In regard to widening the Truck Bill. it was almost ahsc-, lutelv impossible to prohibit, without any qualifications, deductions in a great many trades, but the Bill proposed to penalise deduc- tions unless agreed to by written contract Mid unless reasonable particulars were delivered to the worker. Mr. Buxton said that to extend the Factories Bill, so as to include warehouses where packing was carried on and domestic workshops, he was afraid, could not be managed. He would consider it. He believed that com- pulsory deductions "for -ioptributions to sick benefit sooietiee were prohibited by previous legislation*.
