Cart- wright) George Steel, landlord of the Crown, Ion, at Whitchurch, was charged with refus- i. to admit the police on Sunday afternoon, ■Ai-.guet 6. Mr. Trevor Shackell appeared for th, defendant. Police-constable Alfred Brice stated, in evi- ,deuoe, that at i.15 p.m. on this Sunday he Saw a man go into the premises. Two Hiirutes later he knocked at the front door, he nas not admitted, and he had to kiioc-k four times altogether. At the third time of knocking the defendant came to the and asked. Who is there?"

GULF STREAM BROKEN LOOSE I During the summer months the steamers arriving at New York frequently bring yarns which help to enliven the holiday 8euson. Last. week, for example, one vessel Ported that in mid-Atlantic she had cut a 11LIge whale clean in lia-lf, and that the Ca.lx,a('!e of the mammal clogged her screws Tw thp. remained of the voyage. Another reported that she had hove to for :Ooa.lf an hour to give the passengers a view of the greatest sea-serpent ever seen. These two stories occupied much space in the •American newspapers, providing light re&d- 119 at a time when, despite the Pefce Con- fforenc-e -at Portsmouth, the journals are :8.,ther dull. On Sunday afternoon Oalptain RUr, of t.he steamer Mbltke, from Hamburg •"lid Dover, arrived with his contribution.

MANTLE OF SECRECY I NEGOTIATIONFOR PEACE I M. Witte's Desire for Publicity I [Press Association Special Service.] PORTSMOUTH (New Hampshire), Sunday. Discussion of Japan's peace terms has actually begun, but this has been accom- plished by postponing consideration of the two main issues-the indemnity and the cession of Saghalien. It is understood that the Japanese pleni- potentiaries are responsible for the tactics by which this hopeful stage of the negotia- tions came to be entered upon. As, however, a mantle of secrecy is thrown over the pro- ceedings of the conference and over any mutual pledges that may be given, it is impossible to judge whether this signifies a back-down by either side of the main points. The oa,rrival of some sort of private under- standing between Baron Komura and M. Witte during the recess at the Navy Yard yesterday is hinted a-t, but no confirmation of this is obtainable. There is no evidence of any change in the uncompromising attitude shown by M. Witte and Baron Rosen regard- ing the main points of the Japanese terms. Nevertheless, the Japanese plainly manifest their elation, and some of them privately asserl. that M. Witte would never have con- sented to the discussion of their terms had he not been prepared to yield Saghalien. In spite of the Russians' non possumus, the plenipotentiaries met again at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. They agreed to discuss Japan's terms seriatim, and began con- sideration of the first condition. The pro- posal to discuss the conditions ie thus believed to have emanated from the Japanese side. The first condition was of secondary impor- ta.r,ce,and one that Russia had accepted con- ditionally as a, basis of discussion. Yet little progress was made in the four hours that were spent in debating it, no conclusion being arrived at. There are twelve conditions, hence the prospect of an early agreement is not bright. The Japanese plenipotentiaries wished to hold the next session of the conference this morning, but M. Witte would not agree to this, it being Sunday, so that a meeting was arranged for three o'clock in the afternoon. Both yesterday's sessions are described as having been friendly, but no details have been ascertained. M. Witte makes no concealment of the fact that the rigid secrecy which the Japanese insisted on imposing is distasteful to him. "Before the conference," he says, "all sorts of misstatements were published. Now that the moment has come to face the supreme tribunal of public opinion we are not per- mitted to place before the world evidence from which a just verdict could be rendered regarding the issue between the belligerents. The Russians are ready to publish the text of the Japanese conditions, Russia's reply to them, the diplomatic notes exchanged, and the minutes of the sittings of the conference. The issue now being tried at Portsmouth is not only a question of peace or war between Ruessia and Japan, but one which might pro- duce a. general conflagration involving the shedding of the blood of many countries." M. Witte has emphatically denied that be asked the Japanese for an armistice. Regarding his refusal to meet the Japanese plenipotentiaries this morning, M. Witte remarked, laughingly, "I am not a Japanese. I am a good Christian, and I desire to attend Divine retvice. As there is no Orthodox church here I shall go to a Protestant church." There is reason to believe that the condi- tion which was discussed yesterday was the evacuation of Manchuria and the transfer of Russian leases to Japan. [Central News Special Service.] I NEW YORK, Saturday. At this morning's sitting of the peace envoys the conference lasted 65 minutes. M. Witte presented Ruesia's reply to the Japanese terms, and asked that Japan's response should be made with equal promptitude. Baron Komura promised that Japan's answer should be given at the earliest possible moment, probably in the course of the afternoon. In response to an inquiry, M. Sato stated that the outlook was dark. There was no session of the peace oonfer- ence to-day as arranged. The following official statement was issued this afternoon: "By mutual consent of the Russian and Ja.panese plenipotentiaries it has been decided to postpone this afternoon's meeting until half-pea nine o'clock to-morrow morn- ing. The first condition which the plenipo- tentiaries discussed yesterday without reach- ing a, conclusion was one providing for the re,cognition of Japan's preponderating position in Korea. RUSSIANS AVOID A FIGHT [Press Association Special Service.] TOKIO, Monday. It is reported that the Russians are retirin.g across the Tumen, and that they will avoid a, fight in Northern Oorea. It is impossible to obtain any information on this report. NEARING AN AGREEMENT [Press Association Special Service.] PAK0.S, Monday The Petit Parisien" correspondent at Portsmouth telegraphs that he has received information which enables; him to starte that the Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries are very near to reaching an agreement on several points. It. is declared for instance that their views on clause one are in complete accord. The only debateable point is the manner of draw- ing it up. The correspondent believes that the conclusion of a treaty of peace, honour- able to both parties, is possible. The first point discussed referred to the preponderanc.e of Japaji in Korea. PESSIMISM IN JAPAN I [Press Association Special Service.] I I TOKIO, Sunday. The press continues to take a pessimistic view of the results of the Portsmouth Con- ference. The Jiji Shimpo says it is impossible to place much hope in the outcome of the negotiations. It is patent to everybody that the beet course open to Russia is the con- clusion of peace. It is now impossible for her to recover her lost prestige. Should M. Witte conclude peace, which means the acceptance of the Japanese terms, he will find himself confronted with a strong opposition which maY cost him the confidence of the Czar and the Russian Government. If M. Witte is brave* enough to subordinate his personal interests completely to the good of the country he ie in a unique position to render a merlthrious service to Russia, but it is too much to expect such a sentiment from any Russian under the preeent form of Govern- ment. There is every indication that; the Russian delegates will decline to accept the Japanese terms. The rupture, should a, rup- ture occur, will be due to the internal con- ditions of Russia and the relation of the RUB- sian delegates. In no d-egree will Japan's terms be responsible for a break. The Asahi says: We are inclined to pes- simism beoaaise Russia is allowing herself to be influenced by a, misnnderebanding about Japan's actual condition and strength. Russia thinks that Japan is solicitous for peace, thinking that peaoCe alone will save Japan from collapse in the near future. Russia still thinks she can exhaust Japan. So long as the Russian delegates allow them- selves to be thus misguided, they will not a.coept Japan's terms, which nr-e the lowest which Japan as victor, can accept. Russia's terms will not satisfy Japan. Hence there is little hope of a, satisfactory end to the con- ference. Peace Pourparlers. I RUSSIA TRYING TO SAVE HER FACE [Contral News Special Service.] PARIS, Monday According to the St. Petersburg correspon- dent of the" Echo" it is believed that Russia might arrive at a satisfactory settlement of the peace question by the following means. She would be willing to treat with the Jax>aueee if the matter wem b-rought dorm to an exchange of territory. The Trans-Siberian Railway from the Manchurian Station as far as the neighbourhood of Nikolsk is constructed over Chinese territory, the Russian frontier following the River Amur and ceasing at a point further north. The segment of the circle formed fry the territory between the railway line and the Amur River comprises a large part of Manchuria. If Russia then obtained the important rectifi- cation of the frontier, which would make her the acknowledged mistress of the land she already possesses, in fact, she might be brought to consider the point of ceding &agha.lien to Japan, and an exchange might thus be effected. As to the question of an indemnity M. Witte refuses it in principle, but he is willing to meet the Japanese. He has a plan based on the establishment of certain Customs duties, which would, it is believed, prove adequate to satisfy the Japanese on the score of war expenses. The Czar, it is stated, has approved the plans of M. Witte in full, and if the Japanese do not prove hostile to all attempts at con- ciliation it is thought an entente is still possible. The Echo adds that the general impres- sion in well-informed circles is good, and hopes are entertained of a satisfactory arrangement. There is no real change in the situation, nor any greater probability of peace than there was on Friday night. There is, there- fore, no solid ground for the optimism which has prevailed since it was known that the Japanese did not at once meet the Russian answer to their proposals with a non possu- mus.—" Times" Portsmouth correspondent, per Press Association.

THE RUSSIAN REPLY, I ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE PAY- MENT OF AN INDEMNITY. [Press Association Special Service.] I PORTSMOUTH, Saturday. I The Russian reply to the Japanese terms was accurately outlined in last night's tele- grams. The document is a. long one, taking up the conditions seriatim and setting forth the reasons and arguments for the decision arrived at in ea.ch case. The argument against the payment of an indemnity or the cession of territory is based upon the general theory that Russia was not responsible for the wal1, and that as Russia is still prepared to continue the struggle and has sought this meeting, not as a vanquished country begging for terms, but because she sincerely desired peace if an hononraible peace were possible, therefore she could neither agree to pay Japan's wa.r costs nor to cede territory. The Russian argument can be fairly stated as follows: Russia is not vanquished. She has suffered reverses, but is not obliged to accept peace at any cost. She desires peace now as always, even before Japan opened hostilities. That Russia did not court or weant woar was evident by the fact that she was not prepared for it, either in a mili- ta.ry, naval, or administrative sense. Russia could, possibly, be properly accused of only one thing, viz., of having given the occasion which Japan was seeking, and for which she hMl. been preparing for ten years, to make war on Russia. The responsibility for the wa.r, therefore, falls on Japan and not on Russia. So pessimistic is the feeling aimong thc3e in the confidence ci both sides that it is predicted that if a. meeting is held this after- coon it may be the last, and that the his- tory of the Washington Conference may be abruptly concluded. Some people aTe hinting that, should there be a rupture, Mr. Roose- velt may once more intervene. It can be said that, although firm on the main points, M. Witte's reply was exceedingly courteous in form and tone, and leaves the way open for discussion and negotiation if the Japa- nese are wilting to enter thereupon. It is learned on unimpeachable authority that Pield-ma.rahail Oyama's plian-s are per- fected, and he only awaits the signal of a rupture in the negotiations to launch his attack. [Press Association Special Service.] ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday. Russia's reply to Japan's conditions was cabled to Portsmouth this afternoon. It is understood that it leaves the door open for further negotiations, including the pecuniary clause. ROOSEVELT AS ARBITRATOR. [Press Association Special Service.] NEW YORK, Saturday. The "New York Herald" states that should the peace conference be in danger of failing it is quite likely that President Roosevelt will be consulted for suggestions as to how to meet the difficulties. Some -of the Russians would even like to leave all matters in dispute to be settled by President Roosevelt as arbi- trator. RUSSIAN OPINION. [Central News Special Service.] I ST. PETERSBURG, Sunday. The "Russ" says that the Japanese claim for a contribution towards the war expenses being formulated in a manner which the | Russian Government can accept, pourparlers on the subject will continue. The demands for the cession of territory and the limitation of Russian naval power in the Far East age jjfegarcled as quite inadmissible, and not open to consideration. JAPANESE VIEWS. I [Press Association Special Service.] I TOKIO, Sunday. Commenting on the peace negotiations, the newspaper "Nippon" says:—"The reports from abroad purporting to emanate from a Russian authority, to the effect that Russia, has instructed M. Witte to refuse the cession of territory and the payment of an indemnity, are nothing but mere bluff. Russian diplo- macy has shown itself full of bluff and intimi- dation, particularly during the period pre- ceding hostilities. Whatever measure Russia takfea, the fact stands clear as daylight that Saghalien is under Japanese control." FRESH INSTRUCTIONS TO M. DE WITTE, [Press Association Special Service.] j PARIS, Sunday. The Temps publishes the following tele- gra-m f rom St. Petersburg: Fresh inetructions were cabled to M. Witte yesterday to eerve as a basis for the counter proposals which he will hand to the Japanese on Monday. The negotiationa will last a fortnight. The chance of their success is still regarded here I as poor. IF PEACE IS NOT DECLARED. [Press Association Special Service.] PARIS, Sunday. The "Echo de Paris" says it learns from a. well-informed diplomatic personage that if peace is not signed between Japan and Russia the Japanes-e fleet may be expected to arrive in Baltic waters, where it would proceed to bon,b,-zd Russian ports. ■

MOTOR-CAR AND WILD BOAR I A collision between a motor-car and a wild boar has led to extraordinary legal pro- ceedings. Mine. Senyer-Bettaciue, the well-known Singer, of Munich, was passing through a forest in the course of a. motor-car tour when the bear charged the car, seriously damaging it as well as breaking a telegraph pole. The forest authorities immediately sent Mme. Bettaque a bill for R2 10s. for the loss of the boar, and the telegraph authorities a.sked her to pay 15s. damage to the pole. She in turn has brought- an action against the forest authorities for compensation for injuries to herself and her car. The court's decision is eagerly anticipated in sporting l circles.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING I A ship's steward naroed Alcroft narrowly escaped dIrowning on Saturday evening. He had just left his ship in the Bute East Dock, Cardiff, and was proceeding homeward, when he missed the foot-bridge at the West Dock entrance, and fell into the lock. His cries brought Dock-constable Dewis to his assist- ance, and he with a boat-hook succeeded in keeping the drowning man afloat until Bute Dock-constable Jones and Philip Jamee, a gafteman, caane to hie assistance. With the a,id of a. rope and the boat-ljook, Alcroft was resette*' ,4)pareritly none the worse for his ad.rtur. t

PAINTERS' STRIKE I POSITION OF AFFAIRS TO-DAY. There is no new development in connection with the Cardiff, Penarth, and Barry ship painters' strike and the lock-out of dry dock labourers. A crowded meeting of the men affected was held at St. David's Hall this morning, Mr. Courtis in the chair. Press representatives were not admitted, and no information was given except that the posi- tion was unchanged. Mr. Johnstone, the secretary of the local branch of the men's Union, was not in atten- dance, but was expected every moment with the news that something had been done to bring the employers and the men nearer together. The meeting lasted nearly four hours, and was taken up with long explanations by the officials and a free discussion of the position of affairs. Mr. Johnston reported to the meeting that he had seen the Mayor of Car- diff (Alderman Robert Hughes), and his worship would receive a deputation in the afternoon for the purpose of having the position thoroughly explained to him. The employers will not meet until to-morrow (Tuesday), and no joint conference of masters and men can be held until after that meeting. Our docks representative, writing at one o'clock, says:—There was no new develop- ment in connection with the dry dock dis- pute at Ca-rdiff this morning. There were only two vessels in dry dock upon which work was proceeding. These were the White Jacket in the Commercial Graving Dock, and the Northfield on the Windsor ehipway. On the White Jacket, boileTmakers only were engaged, there being no need \for other hands. On the Northfield painting work in connection with the tail shaft was in opera- tion, the work being done by apprentices and others. The work in connection with the Heathcraig in Hill's dry dock was sus- pended. It is not expected that any change will take place in the position until the meeting of the employers to-morrow evening. THE MAYOR AS MEDIATOR As the result of correspondence between the Mayor of Cardiff and Mr. Williams, the general secretary of the Nation-ail Labourers' Union, Mr. Johnstone, the Cardiff secretary, waited upon his worship this morning. The 1,hanks of the conference at Newport were conveyed to the mayor for the interest he bad taken a.s mediator between the masters and the men. This afternoon at three o'clock his worship received a deputation from the employese, but he wishes it to be understood that no opinion of his shall be given until he has also seen the representatives of the masters. Joint Conference will Probably I be Held. On Sunday Mr. Johnstone received a reply from Mr. Munro, in which he said that he noted with pleasure that the men were now prepared to meet the employers' association in a joint conference, and the association would consider Mr. Johnstone's letter at the earliest opportunity. A meeting for this pur- pose, however, he feared, could not be held before Tuesday afternoon. The men welcome this willingness on the part of the employers to hold a conference, and Mr. Johnstone told our representative that his Union would be quite ready to send a deputation to meet the other side on any date which would suit them. If a conference of owners and men could be arranged there is good reason to hope that the clouds which darken the industrial outlook would soon roll away. Will Other Ports be Affected PI A statement has been made that within a few days both Newport and Swansea. are likely to become concerned in this unfortu- nate dispute. "What is the use," said a prominent mem- ber of the Labourers' Union to our cor- respondent, "of attempting to fight the masters with Newport and Swansea men at work?" He added, significantly, United the Bristol Channel ports may stand and win; divided- and then he shrugged hie shoulders. Our l-epresenta.tive asked Mr. Johnstone on Saturday if there was any truth in the statement that the Labourers' Union would call out the men-the painters, at all events —in Newport and Swansea, and that t-he whole of the Bristol Channel ports would be brou.ght into line. Mr. Johnstone replied: "I cannot say; the turn events have now taken is so sudden, and such a surprise to us. We have a meeting at St. David's-hall on Monday night to con- sider the various issues that have been raised. Yesterday I wrote to Mr. Munro in refer- ence to the published statement that the men have not asked for a joint conference, and I told him we were willing to meet any such conference at any time or place that will suit the association. I am now awaiting a reply to that communication." Mr. Johnstone also said, "Newport and Swansea a-re getting just the same wages that we are asking for, so why should they strike? And, after a.ll, now I hope that the whole dispute will be settled in a week." PARTIAL DISCHARGES AT BARRY. I The whole of the members of the Labourers' Union employed at the Graving Dock Com- pany's works at Barry were paid off on Saturday, but this was by no means general in connection with the other ship-repairing shops of the port. At these shops most, ,if not all, the ships' painting is let to sub- contractors, most of whom pay the increased wages and recognise the shorter hours asked for by the men. At some of these shops, how- ever, the notices were put up, and these places will, therefore, be closed to-day (Mon- day) to the Labourers' Union men; but at others the notices were not posted, and work will be continued as usual. This afternoon a meeting of the strikers and the men who have been locked out will be held at the Bible Christian Schoolroom, Barry Dock, at three o'clock, to discuss the situation. SWANSEA AND NEWPORT. I So far the trouble has not extended to Swansea, where the same terms and condi- tions -exist. It is customary for Cardiff terms to be imposed at Swansea, and thus it is believed the fight at Cardiff will be in the nature of a test case, and whatever result follows will apply to Swansea. Up to the present the strike has not affected Newport at all, though what may take place in the course of a few days is not known. It is not simply a question of the rates of pay for painting ships. There are other ques- tions involved. At Newport in some of the dry docks painting work has been let out on contracts, and the rates which the men at Cardiff and Barry have been asking for have been paid them. For the last few days the dry docks at Newport have been singularly denuded of ships. On Saturday Me-iers. Mordey, Carney, and Go. booked for their Port Talbot docks a big ship which, but for the dispute, would' have gone to Cardiff.

WELSH BATHING TRAGEDY. I Two Servant Girls Drowned I A sad double bathing fatality occurred at Colwyn Bay this morning. Three servant girls -engaged at the Rhos Hydro were bath- ing between six and seven o'clock, when two of them—Ellen Syinons, of Penrhynside, Llandudno, and Annie Da vies, of Liverpool, both aged 2Z-got out of their depths and were drowned. Symons' body has been recovered. DARGAi HERO DROWNED I At Falkirk on Saturday evening an ex-Gordo-n Highlander a.nd Dargai hero was drowned while bathing in the Union Oanal. He had -been to visit his parents who were accompanying him home, and went into the water while the old couple rested- It is supposed that the deceased was seized with cramp.

LOCAL BANKRUPTCIES I Stoppage of works in the neighbourhood, heavy expenses in household, through large family and ill-health, and depression of trade in the district," was the explanation given by Mr. Thomas Richard Browning, of the Whirte Lion, Cefen Cribbwr, innkeeper and shoemaker, for running up a deficiency of £ 203 lis. 6d, in his trading accounts. The first meeting of his creditors was convened by Mr. George David, Official Receiver, for this morning, but nobody attended, and Mr. David remains trustee. Very similar was the explanation given by Mr. Thomas Batstone, of the Wbeatsheaf bakery, Pontygog, Pontycymmer, for an adverse balance of £ 116. Falling off in trade through stoppage of pits in the dis- trict, pressure by creditors, and legal expenses, and being unable to collect money due to me." No resolution was passed, tln 'd the official reeeiver will wind up the estate.

ACCIDENT AT PONTYGYMMER SPORTS At the Pontycymmer Sports on Saturoay a curious accident occurred, a man named Edmund Davies being shot in the foot.

'MABON'THROWN OUT SERIOUS TRAP ACCIDENT. I Hon. Member Suffers Serious I nj u ry. Mr. W. Abraham (" Mabon "), M.P., who is at present staying at Llantwit Major to recu- perate his health after his recent illness, was unfortunate enough to meet with a trap accident this morning. Accompanied by his son and grandson, the hon. member entered a trap near the house at which he is stay- ing with the intention of proceeding to Cow- bridge. Owing to some cause or other the horse bolted and dashed along the road, and failing to clear the corner the vehicle tilted and upset the occupants. "Mwbon" fell upon his side. Dr. Gill attended to "Mabon," whom he found to be suffering from an injury to his ribs and arm. Mr. Abraham's grandson was injured about the head, while his son escaped unhurt.

PRISONER ESCAPES. I SINGULAR CARDIFF AFFAIR I A man named Henry Heathfield, who had been arrested at Cardiff on a charge of stealing lead from Stacey-ro-ad Schools, escaped from custody at about 7.45 fcliis morn- ing, and at the time of writing he was still at large. The man had spent the night in a cell at the Roath Police-station, and early this morning wa,s sent into the lavatory to wash. He escaped by forcing the back door I of the station. The following is a description of the man wanted: — About 5ft. 7in. in height, slight build, prominent nose, light blue eyes. He was wearing a grey suit. Under the direction of the cbief-wnstable a number of policemen were sent on special duty to search for the missing ma.n. This morning, at Cardiff Police-court, Police-inspector Bingham informed the magistrates that they were unable to proceed with the charge against Henry Heathfield as he had escaped, and he applied for a war- rant, which was granted. The charge against Heathfield wae that he feloniously cut and stole a quantity of sheet lead, value E5, from a roof at Cardiff County School in Stacey-road.

Pushed Into the River SERIOUS AFFAIR AT ABERTILLERY I A strange story comes from Abertillery. It is alleged .th<a1 one night last week two men, named James and Wicks, were sitting on a wall, when they were accosted by a third man. After they had been talking for a few minutes, a quarrel arose, and it is alleged the newcomer pushed one man over the wall into the river, and immediately afterwards the other man. Both fell a distance of from 15ft. to 20ft., and received terrible injuries, one of the poor fellows brea.king his two legs and collarbone. The alleged assailant made good his escape, but the New Tredegar police telephoned to Police-sergeant O. Eastment that the man was believed to be in Llan- bradach. Within an hour the sergeant, aitied by a description given, arrested a man and conveyed him to the Caerphilly Police- station, when he was handed over to the Abertillery police. This man, who is named Da,vid Arthur was brought before the magis- trates, and, formal evidence having been taken. he was remanded until Wednesday.

Ely Love Romance I HAPPY ENDING 0FATRAGIC INCIDENT I Elizabeth Dunscombe, 22, was charged this morning, on remand (before the Llandaff magistrates, Colonel Henry Lewis amd Mr. T. G. Gartwright) with attempting to commit suicide on July 28 by throwing herself into the River Taff. It will be remembered that love disappoint- ment was stated to have been the cause of her trouble. Police-constable Herbert Evans and John Morgan, tho man who rescued her, recapitu- lated their evidence. The girl appealed broken down, and wept' bitterly in the dock. John Williams, a young fellow of Tinterne- street, Canton, stepped into the witness-box, and said he was prepared to marry the girl if she was discharged. Colonel Lewis: You won't do anything of this sort again? Elizabeth Dunscombe: Ob, no, sir. I am very sorry for what I have done. The case was then adjourned for a month to allow Willituns to marry her.

THREE SONS AND A WILL, I Remarkable Probate Case I A remarkable will oase was heard at the Liverpool Assizes on Saturday. Oh'arges of having stolen his father's will and obtained possession of his dental practice, furniture, and other effects, by undue influence were made against Lewis J'amet; Osborn, a dentist, of Liverpool, by his two younger brothers, Lionel Ernest and Oollett Osborn, who contested probate. The father had also been a deut.ist in the city, and at one time his practice was worth L3,000 a year. In 1902, however, he suffered a nervous breakdown, and had to go to Harro- gate The eldest son meanwhile carried on his fathers business, and it was alleged that by breaking open a desk and getting possession of the will he found t,hat. his father had left all to the two younger sons. It was further stated that he had then gone to Harrogate and obtained a deed of assignment in favour of himself while his father was practically an imbecile. In return for this the son was to make his father an allowance of two guineas per week. Lewis James Osborn. denied that his father was a mental and physical wreck when he made the assignment. He was able to walk and talk rationally. The case was adjourned.

MILFORD FISH TRADE BRISK I To-day was the best in the Milford fishing trade for months past. Seventeen well-fished trawlers landed. Of hake alone they broug-ht over 1,000 kits. As the fish trade has long been quiet the take is most acceptable.

ANOTHER CAB MYSTERY I All America is excited by another mystery of a hansom cab. Unlike the last case in New Yark, in which the victim was an English bookmaker inaaned Young, of whose dea.t.h Nian Patterson, a. pretty chorus girl, was .acquitted, the victim, in the present tragedy is a beautiful young lady giving the name of Mary Hall. She is only nineteen, and when found almost senseless in a han- som cab in New York, on Saturday, had a bullet near her heart. It is admitted that the name Mary Hall is fictitious, and so far the efforts of the police ha.ve failed to establish either the identity of the lady or that of her presumed assailant, for the theory of attempted suicide apparently fails to bear examination. Judged by her wearing apparel and speech, the girl appears to belong to a. high-class family. ■§ £ > dangerous wae her condition yes- terday that her depositions were taken. At first she said that she was Mary Hall, of London," which was sufficiently vagne, but later she said that she hailed from a town in the State of New York. The girl admits having called the cab to visit an address in New York, where she met a young man. She refuses to give t.he address or came of this person, whose age, she says, is twenty-four. It is around this young man that the chief mystery centres, and the police, in hourly anticipation of the death of the young lady, ,axe seeking him unceasingly. When asked direct by the police whether the young man ehou her, she retrHcd, I v;on't tell any mor?. I'J 1 die C-rst,

lAST TEST MA ICH ENGLAND AGAIN WINS THE TOSS. Fine Batting by Fry and Hayward. [Result of corresponding match in 1904:— Australia, 324 and 121; England, 183 and 263 (for nine wickets). England won by one wicket.] For the fifth time in succession Jackson has won the toss, and, with delightful weather prevailing and the wicket in perfect condition for run-getting, Australia's hopes of winning the last Test match are very slender. England are playing the side selected, every man being fit and well. The Colonials are relying on the side that beat Middlesex, Gregory. Howell, Gehrs, and New- land thus standing down. Gehrs played at Manchester, as Hopkins was suffering from an injured finger, which is now nearly well. There were quite 15,000 people present at the start. The ring had been enlarged and the boundaries shortened to prevent encroach- ment by the public. The Australians were greeted by loud cheers on ta.king the field, whilst MacLaren and Hayward, England's first pair of batsmen, bad a big juration. Cotter and Noble shared the attack. Play opened very quietly, the only hit of note in the first six overs being a square cut to the boundary for six by MacLaren off Cotter. Then Hayward cut the fast bowler for four, there being a fine gap botw4een point and cover to ma-ke this stroke. M'Leod was then moved to extra cover. In Cotter's fifth over MacLaren wae finely caught high up at second slip by Laver. The first wicket fell for 12, made in twenty-five minutes. Tyl- desley oa.me next,, and narrowly escaped being bowled first ball. Noble bowled four good.ma,iden overs, keeping a. fine length, but in the fifth Hayward hit him for two, Hill saving a boundary. Tyldesley commenced to score, but, -Mter hitting Cotter for three fours and a three, he was bowled middle stump. Two for 32. With Fry in, Hayward hit Noble for two fours—a cut and leg glance—and Fry drove the same bowler for a. four and three, bringing up the 50 in fifty-five minutes. Arm- strong relieved Cotter at 52, but could not get his length, Hayward hitting two full pitches to the boundary, and Fry cutting him for two fours. M'Leod superseded Noble at 67. Hayward off-drove Y'Leod finely for four, and, with four to leg off Armstrong, sent up the 100 and his own 50 after after ninety-five minutes' play. Cotter resumed at ten minutes later. Laver also was tried, and Fry cut him twice to the boundary in his first over. In his next over Fry reached his 50 in seventy minutes with a four off-drive. I Score:— ENGLAND. First innings. ENGLAND.

CORNWALL v. MONMOUTHSHIRE. The Welsh captain won the toes at Liskeard to-dav, and, naturally, took first knock on a plumb wicket. It was a glorious morning, and the somewhat limited, though perfectly level, ground looked in excellent con- dition. There was no attendance to spea-k of. Monmouthshire played G. Phillips Vice Stedman, and were otherwise as against Devon. Silverlock drove the opening ball from Barnes for three, a-nd P. C. Phillips also scored three this over, but Letcher, a fast bowler from Illoga-n, bothered the skipper; but the promise of runs coming quickly was fujailed, the 20 going up in ,?ltc,(,D minute. In less than twenty-avp minutes Letcher gave way to Trevarthen, and the sooring had a. temporary check. The field- ing might have been a deal better, though the batsmen placed the bowling with skill. At 65 Philips .jumped out and was well caught, high up, while four runs later Silver- lock foolishly ran himself out in attempting an impossible run, which Diver wisely declined. At 95 the bowling change beat Diver, who hit four 4's and made his runs quickly. Play became terribly slow after this, the five to complete the 100 being naarly twenty minutes in coming, and then being gained only through extras. Letcher badly missed E. S. Phillips.

Lancashire won by an innings and 79 runs.] In iov of the kean rivalry for the o?rampion.,?Wp, moro than ordinary interest was centred in Lanca- shire's visit to Bristol, whfcli opened in bright weather this morning. The icciincies caused by the services of MacLaren, Tyldesley, Spconer, and Brearley being required at the Oval were filled by E. L. Wright (Oxonian), Hallows, Heap, and G. Radcliue. The match has been awarded as a benefit to Wrath all, who has served the county faithfully and well for twelve yeais. the tose, the champions bnttcd first on a copita.1 wiok?t. Dennett and iluggins were both bowl- ing well, and Garnst, after biinging off several fine drives, was out in the sUps off Huggins at 29.

Middle- sex won by nine wickets.] The Metropolitan County had its full strength out at Brighton to-day, and were fortunate in having first knock on a perfect wicket, but, on starting with E.

HAMPSHIRE v. KENT. fResult of corresponding matoh in 1904:—Hampshire, 91 and 85; Kent, 114 and 65 (for two wickets). Kent won by eight wickets.] Ideal weather prevailed at Portsmouth to-day when this match was started. The attendance at the open- ing was somewhat depleted owing to the departure of the French Fleet after their wee:; of fe3tiviting. The wickert was in splendid condition for run-getting, and ntimp?him were decidedly lucky to win the t?s and have first opportunity of Wting. They were, however, as usual, weakly represented, Wynyard, Heskath- Hesketh-Prichard, Hill, Jephson. and Por??e being the notable ??sentees, ?ut Sprot and Jeplison came in in place of Bacon and Jephson.

A Singular Omission. I A BARRY PROSECUTION FAILS I A large amount of public interest was oentured. in the hearing of summonses at l Barry Police-court to-day which the local ¡ district, council had iseued against a number J of perjjns for obstructing the seashore at Whitmore Bay, Barry Island, for selling refreshments, fruit, Ac., withon a licence from boats on the bea-ch. The pr&iding jus- tices were Dr. Howell E-ees, Mr. J. G. Thomas. and Mr. W. Thomas. The defendants were William Woodham, High-street; Peter Klee, 16, Redbrink-crescent; Frederick Newman, 124, Phyllis-street; Samuel Day, 24, Jewel-street; William Moorham, 62, Ciive-road; Richard Folland, 97, Hirwain-street; and Emily Barrett, 47, Laura-street. The court was crowded to overflowing. Mr. T. B. Tordoff, solicitor and clerk, represented the district council; and Mr Ivor Yachell. solictior, Car- diff. appeared for the defence. Mr. Tordoff remarked that there were seven defendants and eleven 8ummons, which ha-d been issued under the bye-la ws of the council, adopted six year-, ago. Within the lat few day, however, he had discovered, to hie sur- prise, that. the bye-laws had not been validly approved—the final st-eop had not been taken, for some reason he could not explain. On these grounds. Mr. Tordoff said, he eculd not proceed with the cases, and had given notice to this efft. to Mr. Vac-hell on the previous Friday. Mr. Tordoff applied for leave to withdraw the summonses, remarking that there would be no difficulty in amending the informality. The oases would come up again, and would have to be dealt with on their merits. ¡ Mr. Vac he 11 strongly objected to the appli- cation, and applied that- the whole of the summonses be dismissed, inasmuch as Mr. Tordoff said they would be brought on again. The by-laws had never been confirmed by the Local Government Boa.rd. and he ,Mr. Vat-hell) contended that they were null and void, and no proceedings could be ta-ken under them. The bye-laws were ultra, vires, and beyond the powers of the Act of 1896. It would be a great hardship on the defendants if these caees were w,ithira.wn and brought on again. Mr. Vaehell asked that the cases I be dismissed with costs. It was an extra- ordinary thing that the clerk and solicitor to the council should prooeed under bye-laws which were absolutely null and void accord- ing to the Act. Mr. Tordoff disputed the statement that they were null and void, and added that the 'bye-laws had been approved in draft. He asked to be allowed to simply withdraw the eases, and reminded the bench that notice had been given to the other side. Dr. Rees (to MT. Tordoff* We have decided to allow the withdrawal pn condition that you pay The fee, £ 2 2s.
