r NOTES FROM THE METROPOLIS. #m 8UR LONDON LONDON, SATURIDAY EVENINS. A POLICY OF No POLICY. Lord Roisabeiy's brilliant aninounctment last night of a policy of no policy n'ag aff orded cold oomfort to.his adlierents. They imagine I it will be long before they again reèllcll office if they are merely to watoh and wait. For one thing, Heme Rule has gone. You may take it thalt it will not re-appear in any Liberal piogramroe. I believe that is the I'EaS'OOl why there is no progranmie. Unable at present to dispense with the help d the Nationalists. the party managers are afraid to offend them by issuing a programme without Home Rule. I susipect Mr. Justin M'Carttn has an inking of tihe truth, oar wihv his bold and Shameless overtures to the Tories the otlher day? His language can only be undrar- srtood in that qcnse, or in the sense that his Iaction are ready to climb down altogether and join with the great majority of the Liberal party, who, I happen to know, would l>o only too thankful to accept, as a final settlement of the question, the (JODoesslon to Ireland of a generous measure of local govern- mexit, which might be called Home Rule when there was no one by to laugh. -IE FLECTION 'rl PETITIONS, Although nothing has been heard publicly of the election petitions, tour or five are stiii in pro- gress, and will, no doubt, come to trial. There are two Unionise petitions-at Durham and Libhneld. The most important and exciting contest will be at Lancaster, where the Radicals have petitioned against tibe return of Colonel Foster, who g»>t in by a majority of 634, wresting a seat from the enemy. The severity of the attack is said to be due to the late member, better known as M-r. S. Williamson, who took a parage* j and was mad»i the subject of iruoli ridicule in the Unionist press. Duriag the election the iccal paper printed quotations from all ¡ the papers whidh made fun of Mr. William- son's new dignity. He was so angry at this *hflt lie is said to have vowed that ihe Tdry .should not get in. What may be the t'-uth of this I cannot ten, but it is certain that -eiroic exei-tions are being made to turn out the> Tory member. For instanot', I have been assured that something like two hundred pounds a week is bring p'anl for detectives to hunt up evidence against the Tories. One Has to receive these statements with a grain of salt, but it is beyond all question that ar enormous expenditure" is being incurred for this petition. THE PREMIER AS BISHOP-MAKER. When Lord Sali«bncy has made an ap- pointment to Chichester he will have nomi- nated three bishops since he has been m office, including one translation. This for a four months record equals the famous bishop-making year, 1891, when Lord Saiiis- bi.,? nom,nated seven bisho -s. inelading two p Bi tr?,i?sl,atio,m Tbev were the -,ii-op of Bi,eb- fjeld. translat-ed to York; the Bishop of Rochester (as now), translated to Winchester; the Dean of Peterborough, appointed Bishop of Worcester; the Dean of Windsor to be Bishop of Rochester; an Oxford professor to be Bishop of Peterborough; the Yicar of Lewis- ham to be Bishop of Lichfield1; and the Dean of Worcester to 0e Bishop of Truro. As for the vacant "Chichester See, the only names I have heard mentioned; up to the pre- sent are Dean Eliot of Windsor and Canon Hervey, vicar of Sandringham. The now bishop must be broad and tolerant, for both High Church and Low Church are strong and active in his diocese. THEY DEARLY LOVE A PEER, The arrest of the Duke of MrrlHbrough in New York for daring to induiiae :H "coasting" on his bicycle proves, not oniy with how i,?tt!e of p i?; erponal Iiberty a Rep?blic governs ,u,bje,et,i, but alio how ciemrly Republit-,3,n, love a lord and adore a duke. "CoastiDg," I a.m informed, is the harm less practice of lift- ing the feet from the peda-Ls and allowing them a rest while the nla-chine runs down a geiitle decline. If one could imagine such a thing being illegal in this country, the policeman who found an -American visitor indulging in the* practice in ignorance would have been oontent with informing him tha.t it was illegal, and would only have arrested1 in the event of defiant disobedience. But in New York the bumptious bob by insisted on con- veying the duke to the*nearest police-et&tion. This was, of course, in order that this gentle Re- publican might be able to boast all his life what he had once upon a time arrested a duke. It is on a par with the story told of an English peer, also a statesman, a man of so high distinction that when travelling on the cars a negro came up and asked for his ) hand. The no hie lord at once held it out. thinking the poor African woul^ kiss it in gratitude for his lordship's exertions against slavery. But, n<5; the negro was an Ameri- can all the time. He took the peer's hand, gave it a vigorous shake, and re- marked, "There, now; I can. tell America that the British aristocracy's all right."

'T- THE GREAT SILVER ROBBERY. A NUMBER OF PERSONS IMPLI GATED. The Press AjSsocia.tion stalest that Mr. Arthur Newton, solicitor, has been instructed -to defend Mr. Alexander Sarti, the Clerken- well manager to Messrfc. Ellvington, who is in custody in ecnneotion with the great silver robbery, when ih«^08s-e names en again on Thursday next. Sir Frank Lockwood and Mr. c.. F.

The prosecution has shown great activity in preparing the case against garti-q, cast in- volved in teohnioaJ. details, in which the accused has a peculiar knowledge by reason of his long and widespread connection with the silver trade. The number of detective officers ori- ginally concerned in the ease -has liee-n mate- rial!}. increased, and a further arrest is anti- cipated.

LIVING WAGE FOR MINISTERS, After the abortive revolt of the domestic curate fsays the. "Daily Telegraph") comes the wail of the half-starved Dissenting minister in the country. In one county there jxe five Congregational ministers existing on stipend; that average, owly £ 63 a year, and in another large dirt-net 31 pa-stors receive an average of but £ 67. A "liviifg wage for ministers" is. therefore, the kt&st cry in Congregationalism, and it must be confessed iat in D'.ar.y cases it may be raised with full j'lstice.

MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN AT ALLTWEN. OPENING CEREMONY. v I MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN. I A drinking fountain, erected in memory of the late Mr. Howel Gwyn, of Dyffryn, by the inhabitants of Alltwen, Swansea Valley, was opened on Saturday afternoon. The structure is an indication of the gratitude felt towards j Mr. Gwyn, who had bean a generous benefactor to the village.

MRS. MORRIS. I

DEATH: OF THE LLANELLY CENTENARIAN. A HUNDRED AD FOUR YEARS OLD. v The dlmth took place on Saturday mdrning, at Cilhg-placei, Llanelly, of Mrs. Elizabeth Morris, better known as the Llanelly cente- narian. Up to a recent date the aged lady had enjoyed wonderfully good health, but during the last few days- it was seen that she was slowly, bub surely, losing her grip of eaiithly things, and on Saturday tjhe end came peacefully. The venerable lady celebrated the hundred and fourth anniversary of her birthday on Tuesday, the 5th if March last. The auspicious day was spent very quietly, although she received nume- rous congratulations. Mrs. Morris was a I lla-nellyite born and bred. In fact, she was only once out of the town. Her huaiund was a collier, and many years ago he found it neces- fcary to go to Blaina, where he was offered work under rw.+h-er favourable conditions. But Mra, Morris could not long endure absence from the partner of her joys and sorrows. So, shouldering a big, heavy parcel, and taking hen- baby in her arms, Mrs. Morris began a. lorug and weary walk to Blaina. The journey occu- pied five daysj, land Mrs. Morris was fond of re- calling her delight when it was all over. That was about 70 years ago. Her parents were ardent Churchgoers, but when she married I Mrs. Morris followed her husband, who was a Bapttist, andi became a member of Aduhun Church, Felinfoel. She was a great admirer of "John Jones, Felinfoel Many years ago ilrs. Morris underwent an operation for her eyes ♦at the hands of the late Dr. Thomas, Llan- elly. For some years prior to that she had been deprived of her sight, btrt- the operation- was successful, and as a result her eight, almost up to the day of her death, was remarkably good. In, spite of her advanced age, the sub- ject of our notice retained possession oi her faculties to an, astonishing degree. She was a good conversationalist, and nothing pleased her better ^than to have a chat about the Llanelly tnat was in the "good old days." It is an in terestir,&r fact that the massive fire- guard: which occupies the hearth of the cottage where Mrs. Morris is now lying dead wa." the first article cast at the Old Llanelly Furnace in the time of the Rabys. It certainly is a relic of the past, as also is the old arm-chair in which she sat awaiting the "one clear call" which summoned her hence. This chair belonged to her mother, and is said to be about 150 years old. Of the fourteen children born to her only one survives, in the person of Mrs. Evans, who is now 66 years old. With them also is a boy of fourteen, who is the son of Mrs. Evans's daughter, and, therefore, great-grandson of the subject of our notice. Earlv an the present year the attention of the Prinopse of Wales was^brought to the case of Mrs. Morris by Mr" J. V. Evans, Llanelly, and her Rcyal Highness sent her a valuable parcel of clothing and flannel, which was much appreciated by the aged recipient. —

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR AT CLYDACH. SAD DEATH OF TWO MINERS- Our Morriaton correspondent writes :—A sod affair, by whioh two miners lost their lives, oc-ctirred at G uerevs Graigola Collietv. situated a.t Ynysponilwch, near Clydach, Swansea Valley, un Saturday. The deceased workmen, for a reason only known to themselves, stopped in the mine airier the others had cleared out, and when they got to the bottom of the pit, with the intention of ooming' up, they found that the iiitcher aud all the workmen had left. After signalling and receiving a reply that the engineer had. gone home, it is surmised that, not having the pationce to wait for the return of the engineer, they started off to make their exit from the mine through the outcast. This place is a kind of slant, used only as an wr- way and for pumping purposes, and, as the ■steam pipes are laid down on this road; the men are strictly forbidden to travel that way, except under a special order, and then or.ly afte- tshe steam has been stopwed, to enable the air to giet cool. On Saturday the outcast was very warm, and' would be in a dangerous condition for them to attempt an egress, for the works had only stopped fifteen minutes at the most previous when they risked the journey, with such a. sad result. Our repre- ,eLt,,a'dve wa?t,d upon Mr. J. D- Jone., 3 the mana;??er of the cc)llien', who st?it?c-c! t?iat all the men employed under ground were supposed, according to the general rule of the works, to come out frou. the workings, together with the hauliers and others. The last man sup- posed to remain at the bottom of the pit is the hiteher. Ho had come up from the pit j shortly after one o'clock on Saturday, with what he thought, was the last batch of work- men. The banksman, having &een him. a,rrive, reported accord;ngly to the ingin-eer. j- I leav;ug t n e latter tlten left for home, I he in charge if flie -,tolaer, who wu to remain on dbty until seven o;?--lock th,t evening. ?N- o sooner had they all gone than the stoker's I attention was called to four knocks at the bottom of the pit, and he at once hurried to the I ttT)Jn of the pit, and he :tt once hurried to) thp, I mOl1th of the pit to lea,rn from whom It 'lame. If e at oncc St'lIt for the engine.er, .J oseph Leo- f)old, residing at Vardre, close by. who arrived in about ten minutes, and signals were made to call the men to die bottom of the shaft. These were repeated at I-litervails for half an hour without any success- Leopold then sent for the fireman, David Harris, v. ho arrived upon the scene at three o'clock, and. with a. few helpers, he went to search for the men. After going about three hundred yards from tHe pit's bottom, they came upon the dead bodies of the two miners. One of the victims is John Gibbs, aged 27, residing at Glais. and is a. married man, whilst the other is a young man named John R. Jones, living at Vardre. Clydach.

THE LIQUOR TRADE. SENSIBLE SPEECH BY A GLAD- STONIAN M.P. Mr. G. Harwood. M.P., was the principal speaker at the annual dinner of the Bolton Licensed Victualiers' Society the other nisrht. He said he believed that alcoholic lio-uorl should be regarded as one of the gifts of God. in reason. It was what he was to ever since lie was a boy. and he did not think it had disagreed with him. He gave it to his children, and he would never, if lie lost 500 elections, take part in any action which would deprive others from taking that which lie regula-rly tssed hhnselt". (Applause.) He had a great pity for and fear of a drunka-rd, &ut he would infiritety rather have a nation of drunkards than a nation of hypocrites. (Applause.) A man ought to lie able to take his wife and family into a public-house with- out any fea.r of demoralisation, and unless they remedied that state of things they would not pnt their trade upon a proper foitnda- tion.

I MANNING OF BRITISH SHIPS. FALSE STATEMENTS BY THE SEA- MEN'S JOURNAL. The Shipping Federation has issued the following public notice to seamen —"The 'Seamen's Chronicle' of the 5t-h of October, 1896, under the head of 'Undermanning. I publishes the following remarks on the Manning Committee, viz.(I) That 'the shipowning section of it decided by their votes to ec-nd-uet their inquiries in private' (2) That it M as useless protesting when the persons whose doings were the subject of inquiry formed the majority of the jurv. Seamen are hereby informed that both the a.bove statemert?s made -by the Clu-onic.te? are R.'))sr)liitely fal,??e and purpo?,:ely they am itiexely int,tded to prejud-'ce -?eani-en -g-aiwt -?heir empooyers. The '?aots are actual that a lea,?,Jing shipowner first proposed that the inquir)r should be held with open (ioors. Of four ?hipp'mg rep-esenta-ti-ves present three were in favour of this course; and of five seamen's representatives present, one spoke in favour of it. A solid vote of the seamen's section would have turned the scale in favour of publicity. Ship- owners have five representatives and' seamen have five representatives on the Committee, the ether members are departmental or independent; there is. therefore, no 'majority of the jurv.' such as tae 'Chronicle' falsely suggests. The 'Sea- men s Chronicle' further falsely implies that the examination of the evidence and publica- tion of the report have been unduly delayed by the- shipowner's representatives. The* chair- man (Sir E. J. Reed) assumes full responsi- bility for conducting the inquiry, and has authorised the statement that no shipowner or other member of the Com- mittee has caused delay." EARLY MEETING OF THE COM- MITTEE. A meeting of the Mantling Committee is to be convened at an early date- Since April last ^ir b a ward Reed, ex-M.P., chairman of the Committee, has keen preparing bis draft report.

THE AGED POOR PROBLElil. INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS AT MACCLESFIELD. The Macclesfield Board of Guardians have been interesting themselves in the aged poor problem, and the" Pall Mall Gazette pub. lisues an account of what has been done towards ffiakingthe lives of the respectable poor more endurable than they had been heretofore. The guardians began by granting outdoor relief on a generous scale to all destitute applicants over 60 years of age who were of thoroughly respec- table character and able to take care of them- selves. The helpless and friendless poor are lodged in the workhouse in what are termed privilege wards, which are oomplctelv out off from communication with the quarters occu- pied by the ordinary paupers. These rooms are home-like in appearance, neatly furnished, j and decorated, and the old people may retain thfic .pata, paaxidad-tiaey- pcA- objectionable to the Ðther inmates. Easy chairs and com- fortable beds are provided, and the aged inmates have the pick of everything that comes into the house in the way of books and newspapers. Afternoon tea is provided for the old women, and one part of the grounds is specially reserved for them to walk in. There is no objctionable uniform, and the old people I may take their walks in town and visit their friends every day if they choose to do so. On Sunday afternoons they may also receive visitors in their wards. The only condition imposed on the old people is undoubted respectability c a.-icl good behaviour. The sy-,4tem ba'? been In 0 peration for a vear, and it h.%s been found to work most satis?actorilv. The extra expense is sms6U, and most of 'he ;onces,-ions ma('.e do not add one farthing to the'r?,irden of the ratep,3,yers.
