It had been arranged to Publicly expose the Imperial remaius in the Palace Chapel at Livadia yesterday, but tlus •was found to be impossible owing to unexpected difficulties in the way of propH- embalment. 1 ne 8lJrgeons summoned from St. Petersburg were Suable to complete the process, and other specialists at Moscow and Cliarkoff had to be sent cOr.

China Sues for Peace. s EUROPEAN POWERS ASKED TO INTERVENE. Japanese Successes Have Made the Celestials Uneasy and Despondent. The Central News has reason to believe that the Chinese Government, alarmed at the steady advance of the Japanese forces through Man- churia and at the prospect of the almost immediate capture of Port Arthur, has decided formally to ask for the intervention of the Emopean Powers more directly interested, politically and cmmercially, in the Far East. The Chinese Minister communicated the desire of his Government to the British Foreign Office on Monday afternoon, and in the evening his Excellency left for Paris, where he will have an interview, first with the Minister for Foreign Ajfairs. and subsequently an audience of the President of the Republic. TIENTSIN, Monday. Two Imperial edicts were issued here yester- day. In the first, Li Hung Chang is virtually superseded. Prince Kung- is appointed Chief Controller off Military Affairs at Pekin, which is understood to include Tientsin also, and Prince Chung is appointed to assist him as Sub- controller of Military Affairs. Both Princes ■have entered upon their new duties. The second edict gives executive effect to the sen- tence passed by the military court upon General Wei. It declares that by his withdrawal from the Battle of Ping Yang he caused the defeat of the entire auny. Furthermore, he is adjudged guilty of embezzling public funds en- trusted to him for the specific purpose of pay- ing his soldiers, and of gross incompetence and violation of duty in that he permitted the troops with whom he retreated to maltreat and rob the people alone the line of route, thereby lower- ing the national character. For these offences the general is degraded from military rank and deprived of all his honours. It has been tardily discovered that Admiral Ting kept from the knowledge of the Throne many important mat- ters connected with the naval battle of the Ya-lu, and that, while losing ships and getting others crippled, he inflicted scarcely any damage upon the enemy. The admiral is, therefore, deprived of all the honours recently bestowed upon him under a misapprehension of the facts. Private advices from Pekin re- ceived hero are to the effect that uneasiness and despondency prevail throughout the capital. The foreign colonies are prepared for emer- gencies. Enormous bodies of troops are en- camped in a-nd around Pekin. A considerable number of Chinese vessels have within the last few days been transferred to the German flag. TOKIO, Monday, 3.5 p.m. Nothing has yet been received here respecting the military operations against Port Arthur. All idea of a possible Chinese raid upon the Japanese coast has now been abandoned. Orders have been officially issued that. tor- pedoes laid down in Tokio Pay shall be re- moved forthwith. All navigation is declared free. ATTACK ON LORD ROSEBERY. A telegram from Berlin on Monday evening says :—The London correspondent of the "Kreuz Zeitung" publishes in that journal an inter- view with Sir Halliday Macartney, the sec- retary to the Chinese Legation in London. Sir Halliday Macartney declared tha.t lie was annoyed at England's attitude towards the belligerent Powers. It would he admitted that England had a considerable interest in the first place to prevent this war, and after it had begun to stop it, but Lord Rosebery had let his chances of effective interference in the interest of peace slip in a manner altogether incomprehensible. When Japan demanded from the King of Corea the imme- diate introduction of no less than 25 reforms, then was Lord Rosebery's chance to prevent serious complications by demonstrating to Japan the unreasonableness of and the impos- isibili ty of compliance with so preposterous a den and. "Imagine," Sir Halliday Macartney is reported to have said, 'if 2S Reform Bills were introduced' in the British House of Commons. The country won'] consider the Ministry responsible for such a course only fit for a madhouse. What was wanted to preserve peace was a strong remonstrance-, coupled with the intimation that if these preposterous demands led to a war with China Great Britain would not remain neutral. Well, the Japanese were quick to take the cue from Lord Rosebery's exhibi- tion af weakness. They had been preparing for war with China, for years, and they were only too glad to manufacture a cause. Thanks to Lord Rosebery's vacillation and weakness they were successful. By the way, it has been admitted even by Japan ever and over again that Corea is a vassal State of China. If it had really been necessary to press upon the King of Corea to introduce certain reforms it was cleaxlv the business of the Emperor of China, as suzerain, to do so. It oertainly was no concern of the Mikado any more than that of the Emperor of Ger- many. However, J apa.11 was left a free hand, and the matter assumed a serious aspect. Nego- tiations were still pending between China and Japan, wheat the letter Power suddenly decided to begin war1 by writing the declaration an the bows of a neutral ship. Formal declarations of war have gone out of fashion, but I venture to think the course pursued by Japan is abso- lutely without precedent in the history of the world. Here was an English vessel sailing under the English flag, the ship's papers vised by an English consul, on leaving a treaty port fired upon and sunk im the piping times of pcace by a man-of-war belonging to a Power which pretends to European civilisation. There were Chinese trooos on board, but was that not a perfectly legitimate cargo? Was the Emperor of China not entitled in peace time to ship soldiers from one port of his dominions to another ? This, then, was another opportunity which Lord Rcsebery has let slip, and for the second time under his sway the British Government nave allowed the nation's flag to be insulted with impunity. The incident in the Bay of Siam was a warn- ing to the people in the East. The sinking of the Kow Stung will be a lesson not likely to be forgotten as establishing the fact that the British Bag under the present Government n.av be treated as a 44 quantite negligeable. But Lord Rosebery's sudden activity was, if possible, even moire extraordinary than his former policy of laissez faire. His proposal to the Continental Powers to interfere or in- tercede—I do not know exactly wInch-was, to say, the least, premature. It was not solicited or even countenanced by either of the two belligerent Powers, and was utterly un- warranted by events. At that time," con- tinued Sir Halliday Macartney, "there was not a single Japanese soldier on the territory of China proper, or within a hundred miles of its boundaries. It would be interesting to know the precise grounds on wliich the British Premier based his proposal, and equally inte- resting to learn the precise answer which he received from, say, Ger- many. This peculiar mode of interference was, moreover, not only without precedent in the annals of British diplomacy, but diametri- cally opposed to the precedent set by a British Minister of Lord Rosebery's own party, to wit, the late Lord Granville. That statesman refused, not once, but I should say, speaking off-hand from memory, at least ten times, the repeated and pressing requests of M. Thiers and M. Tissot in 1870 to intercede with Ger- many on behalf of France. Lord Granville's answer was always the same: It was against the traditions of the British Government to offer its good offices unless these were desired and requested by both belligerent parties. When one Power is suing for peace, then the offices of a. friendly State may be of advantage. Whatever the issue of this war may be, Eng- land will have to pay the piper. That is to say, China will recompense herself for the cost' of the war by imposing proportionate duties on foreign goods, and, as the trade with China is to a great, extent, in the hands of British merchants, Great Britain will be the sufferer. China is, of course, precluded from raising dues on the treatv ports, but she can heavily tax the goods when they reach the barrier stations in the interior." JAPS ADVANCING. A Router's telegram from Yokohama says: —-Thft notice- relating to the pilotage of vessels at the entrance to the port of Yokohama has been withdrawn. A detachment of the first Japanese Army has reached the port above Tali en wan Bay, at which the second Japanese Army landed. ,<

"EXPRESS" 'SANTA GLAUS" FUND, A Chat with a Little Newsboy. BOYS COUNTING THE DAYS. The Little Ones are Eagerly Looking Forward to their Yuletide Treat and Gifts. Our Lady Correspondent writes:—This morning Miss Lascelles Carr appeared in the office followed by a nice, bright little laddie, James Driscoll by name, from whom she pro- ceeded to draw out his views of "Santa. Claus." "Are you boys looking forward to 'Santa Claus'?" "Yes, miss, we are." "What do you think of it all?" "It makes us feel happy, and we are just counting the days till it comes, Miss." "Were you there last "Yes, Miss, and I had a jacket and pair of trousers, and tea and cake, and oranges and sweets, given me." "So you enjoyed yourself?" "I did that, Miss. I like oranges better than sweets." Jim told then, in his own way how he was the youngest of five children. Father dead, mother and sisters at work. "You've a good mother," we said, observ- ing how clean. his skin looked, and how nicely his clothes were patched and mended. With a bright look in his danomg, mis- chievous brown eyes, he said, "Yes, miss, I have." He told us his average a,s an press" boy was Is. 4d. a day. When any- thing- was going on "like a 'splosion, I gets more." He told us how he weftit up to Ponty- pridd the time of the explosion, so great was the demand for the evening paper. "What- ever I gets over the Is. 4d. mother gives me for myself, and I've a money box and I puts it in." "What do you buy with it?" "Boots, miss, and mother -she helps me." Made happy with a little "over" for his box, off he went to his fellows outside, who looked as if they would winr bein inter- viewed on the same lines. There is no doubt the excitement among the youngsters is fast spreading, and they will not talk or think of much else this side of Christmas. Our collec- tor is out "bag-hunting." Talk of cub-hunting, the excitement is not in it with bag-hunting, and the curiosity as to their contents. SUBSCRIPTION LIST. £ s. d.

IN HIS Bic-DROOM Actresses Belabour an Editor for a Newspaper Criticism. A Calcutta telegram says The "Indian Dailv News" criticised with great severity a performance given by the "On the Thames" theatrical company. As the editor, Dr. Dalv, was about to retire to rest, having put on his pyjamas, three, ladies of the company entered his apartment, and, having read out the para- graph, cross-examined the doctor as to its authorship, and demanded redress. This Dr. Daly declined to give, and the ladies then com- menced to flagellate the doctor with canos, which they had brought with them. An excit- ing scene appears to have followed, the learned doctor's ability a.nd the furniture'helping to save him from his enemies. "I cannot stnke a lady, said the doctor. "No, but you are not ashamed to take the bread out of their mouths." retorted one of the ladies. At length, with many uncomplimentary remarks, the invaders retired. Much interest has been aroused by the event, and public sympathy is divided be- tween the two parties.

ENGLAND AND FRANCE. Sir Charles Dilke Contributes an Article to a French Paper. A Central News telegram from Paris says Sir Charles Dilke. in an article in Le Matin" this morning, s^fs for the past few years diffi- culties have existed between France and Eng- land in Egypt. France has let the question lay dormant for some time. Some years ba.ck it was said England was awaiting French proposals, but these proposals never came. The situation just now concerns England more than France, but has not reached the acute stage. The article is fairly lengthy, and a pacific tone per- vades it throughout. The last two paragraphs, however, did not seem to meet with official approval, and were consequently suppressed. It is stated Sir Charles Dilke will, at intervals, contribute further articles on the same subject to the same journal.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. The Conservative Victories at Aber- ystwith. A correspondent writes: —Enough has not been said about the victory won by the Aber- ystwith Conservatives at the recent municipal elections. The town elected by large majori- ties the two Conservative and the two Inde- pendent candidates, and left the three Radicals out in the cold. The victory was all the greater because the efforts of the Radicals were so strenuous. But so determined were, the elec- tors to change the personnel of the council that they refused to send back Mr. Powell, who was looked upon a.s the chosen man for the mayoralty. Seven candidates were nominated for four seats, viz., Mr. Ellis, chemist (R.), Mr. Powell (R.), Mr. Jones, 63, The Terrace (R.), new candidate; Mr. J. Watkins, jun. (C.), new candidate: Mr. Peake (1.), new can- didate Mr. Hopkins (I.) and Mr. Tom Griffiths (C.), new candidate. The result, which was made known late on the even- ing of the poll, was as follows:- ELECTED. Watkins (C.) 72b Griffiths (C.) 703 Peake (I.) 637 Hopkins (I.) 566 NON-ELECTED. Ellis (L.) 498 Powell (L.) .— 482 Jones (L.) 430 SPLOTT CONSERVATIVE CLUB. The usual weekly social evening will be held the Splott Club to-night (Tuesday) at eight o clock. Mr. Councillor H.

I-Aii Impudent Forgery." SPA TWO LONDON NEWSPAPERS HOAXED. They Publish an Appeal for Subscrip- tions for Empire Employes Signed Ii Ormiston Chant. The Press Association is requested by Mrs. Ormiston Chant to state that the letter which appears in a London morning paper to-day (Tuesday), purporting to be signed by her and stating, among other tilings, that she will be happy to receive subscriptions on behalf of the Empire Theatre employes to recoup them for th!2Îr temporary enforced idleness, is an impu- dent forgery. Mrs. Chant is taking steps to ascertain the identity of the writer of the letter. The letter, which appears in the London "Daily News" and the "Daily Chronicle," is as follows "Sir,In fighting the case of the Empire promenade to its bitter end I have never been illind to the fact that one result of my suocss- ful efforts might be the enforced idleness for a time of some 600 hard-working people, and the consequent loss of their salaries. The Empire, it seems, ha,s been re-opened, but I learn that the closing of its doors for a whole week has ben attended with considerable inconvenience and hardship to many members of its staff. Rejoicing a-s I do at the happy issue so far. of

ASSAULTED A POLICEMAN. Four Cardiff Roughs Sent for Terms in Prison. At Cardiff Police-court on Tuesday morning William Gwynn, David Gwynn, Patrick Collins, and Edward Ripton were charged (be- fore Mr T. W. Lewis, stipendiary, and Mr. R. E. Spencer) with assaulting and wounding Police-constable Sidney H eruiman by kicking him 011 the face and head in Wood-.street, on the 29th of October. Mr. George David de- fended Riipton, and Mr. Lloyd Meyrick the brothers Gwynn and Collins.—The constable stated that he was going along Wood-street, in the direction of Tudor-road, when. the prisoners came across the road, and Collins, pretending to be drunk, ran against him (witness). This seemed to be a signal for the other men to attack him, and when witness was expostulating with Collins the latter, with his companions, attacked him, and, after pulling his cape over his head, knocked him to the ground- Witness was dragged to the Wood-street- Bridge, where one of the men said, "Chuck the b- in." Herniman stated lie wa.s kicked repeatedly about the body, and soon lost consciousness. The prisoners were afterwards arrested and charg-ed with the assault, and the injured constable was attended by Dr. Roach, who, on Tuesday morning, described Herniman'« injuries as being of a very serious character.—Mr. Meyrick called several witnesses for the defence, but all except one had to confess to having suffered various terms of imprisonment, and prisoners, who also bore bad characters, were found guilty.The brothers Gwynn were each sent to gaol for four months, Collins was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and Ripton was tined £5 and costs, or six weeks' imprison- ment.

AT A CANTON CLUB. Man and Woman Fined for Illegal Sale of Beer. At Cardiff Police-court on Tuesday morning (before the stipendiary, Mr. T. W. Lewis, and Councillor Vaughan), Elizabeth Cole.s and Henry Baker were charged with selling beer without a licence at 243, Cow bridge-road. Mr. R. C. Lloyd prosecuted, and defendant was represented by Mr. Belcher, who .stated that, acting on his advice, his clients pleaded guilty. Since the raid was made on Septem- ber 21 the ciub premises on which the offence was alleged to have been committed had been closed, and Mr. Belcher hoped that the mag^stra.tt\v would take into consideraition the course which had been, adopted by his clients, and deal leniently with the oase.~ The Stipendiary thought that Mr. Belcher had advised defendants well, and said he would fine Coles £5 and costs or fourteen days' imprisonment, and Baker £ 25 and costs or one month's imprisonment.

BOMB IN MAYFAIR. No Arrest Yet and Police are Reticent as to their Actions. The Press Association telegraphs :—Tilney- strcet, where the bomb explosion occurred on Sunday night, is still g-uarded this afternoon by a cordon of police, who continue to bar both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The damaged houses are, however, being- rapidly repaired. No arrest has yet been made in connection with the outrage, and the police naturally decline to say whether they have any clue which may lead to a capture. A. special service of men are still busily engaged in making inquiries.

FALL DOWN A LIFT. On inquiry at the infirmary this morning-, our representative was informed that the lad, David Ellicott, who was conveyed there on Monday evening-, suffering from injuries sustained through a fall down a lift at the Cardiff Ice Storage premises, died in the institution at four o'clock this morning.

WHO IS HE P A well-dressed man, who was charged a.t Houthwark Police-court with assaulting- two bovs, refused to give his name until lie had consulted his counsel. Later in tile day Mr. Warburton, barrister, attended, and said that it would not be advisable to state his client's name at present. He wrote it on a slip of paper and handed it to the magistrate, who re- manded the defendant on bail of £500, in addi- tion to his own surety of £ <>00.

The sum realised at the two days' bazaai held in connection, with the new Wesley an Chapel at Whitchuroh last week amounted I to £ 100. t

The Welsh Trial Matchl AN UNSATISFACTORY GAME Al NEATH. Many Players Selected Failed to Appear and Substitutes Had to be Found. The trial match at Neath on Monday WN one f the most unsatisfactory which has been. held by the Welsh Rugby Union. The teau s as selected were not particularly strong, and when nine or ten substitutes had to be chosen at the last moment it may easily be imagined that- the play was not up tu any- thing like international form. The Western tram, composed of men chosen from Lianeliy. Swansea, Neath, and Morriston. were opposed to player? from Bridgend and the hill dis- tricts, and if the latter had turned op as selected a good game might have resulted- But when the w hole of the Mid-Distracf three-quarters were absent there was on!j one side in the match. In the first place, I want to know whether the Union are in such an impecunious position that it cannot provide distinguishing colours for trial matches. On Monday each mail played in his club colours, with the result that there was no end of confusion. Who is- responsible for this piece, cf absurdity 1 am not in a position to state, but certainly somf better arrangement should be made in tlli future. It is questionable whether the match ha been of any value whatever to those upot whom will shortly devolve the task of gelect-. ing a team to faoe England at Swansea On the V, estern side there was certainly some very smart play on the part of Cliff Bowen and Badger at three-quarter and Ben Davies and Morgan at half, but the capabilities of these men were previously known. It is claimed that -ovan .L,o,d is in good form thia season. He certainly did well, but I do not think he is quite up to what would be re, quired of him in an international match. Taken altogether, the Llanellv oonting-enf attracted most attention, and unquestionablj they acquitted themselves with honour. In. addition to the backs I have referred to, W. J. Thomas played splendidly in the front division. Jackson and Jenkins, of Swansea, were also prominent, but there wa.s no transcendent ability shown. It is difficult to know what to say of the other side. In the backs there was certainly not a man who shoved promise, and the only for- ward who came out prominently was George, of Pontypridd. This player is worth watching, and may eventually prove a support to the Welsh Union. There was plenty of strength on the side of the Mid-District, but very little scientific footwork". In dealing with I purposely omitted to mention the two custodians, in order that I might give them a separate paragraph. A great deal was expected from Joe Davies, of Neath. He has been playing well recently, but his form on Monday was scarcely above modiocritv. He made a couple of awkward mistakes, and his own supporters were disap- pointed in him. Of course, it is impossible for a man to be always in the same form. and pos- sibly, next to Bancroft, Davies would prove best in the end, but I should like to see him again before giving a final opinion. Every, on the other side, did well, but I don't think the full back this season will be found at Lla.nelly. A special iBeetinir of the Grangetown Foot- ball Club will be held at the Grange Hotel to-night (Tuesday), at eight, o'clock- All mem.q, bets are inyited to attend. 1 A. Dobson has been appointed captain of. th.3 Bhcl^weir Football Club. W. Stockton is the vice. | W- T S. Gedge, the Scottish international i tlnee-quarter, will assist Coventry during their] tour in South Wales. R. H. Cat-tell, OfI Oxford, and Tuke. the Irish international, will? be the halves. The Glamorganshire County Cricke,t Club; will hold a general meeting at the end of this month, when the accounts, etc., for the year will be presented- As far as can be ascer- tained, the balance-sheet will show a conside- rable loss for the season. Mr. J. H. Brain has definitely' decided to resign his post. Up to the present no fixtures whatever have been made for the next season, but it is ex- tremely probable that all matches will be clut and ground. Should this be so. then Eldndtf —who is now qualifying for Wilts—has pro; raised to assist Glamorgan whenever he is t, liberty. The Roath fCiirdifD Harriers held an inter* team race from headquarters (Royal Oak Hotel, Roath), on Saturday Ijetween teams chosen hy- the captain and secretary- The trail was laif by the hares 'G- S. Stowe, jun., and II. Sullyt along the Newport-road to the top of Rumney- hill- The open country was then taken to, and the trail laid alongside the Rumney River, through Llanrumney Park to the top of St. Mellon s-hill, and homewards, on the Channel side of the road, through Rumney Village and the Potteries. Owingf to the recant con- tinuous rains, the going was very heavy. Twenty-one members turned out, and a keen competition resulted in a win for the captain's, team by six points. R. Ambrose won the captain's prize for first "novice" home. Messrs, Hugh Fairlamb, E. M. Griffiths, and C. G Morgan officiated as starter, timekeeper, aur judges The results were as follow CAPTAIN'S TEAM. Place. Time. A. T, SlJa"kelJ, 2 40min. 13sec. 1-' -?■ (cupt.) 3 40min. 208ec. i; 5 42inui. 5sec.

TRANSATLANTIC TRIPS. An Ontario's Man Invention for Crossing in Two Days. Thus a Toronto liape,r: A Prescott. Out- man claims to have invented a plan by whief vessels will be enabled to cross the Atlanta from Canada to England in two days. and ask the Government for the modest sum of £ 10,00( to assist him in demonstrating its practica- bility. The model lie submits shows a hug* metal cylinder, 150ft. in diameter and 1.000ft. long. Within this, slung on an immense steel rod, hangs the ship broadside forward. The cylinder, against the face of which hug'e paddles are fastened, revolves on this rod, thus pro- pelling the whole thing at the immense speed of sixty miles an hour. The cylinder is divided into water-tight compartments, and at each end of this rod is a protection for the look-out. It affords a promenade for passengers 1,000ft. long. Great, resistance to wind is offered by the revolving cylinder, but that is compensated f( by there being no resistance to water. Steer- ing is done from the sides. It would be like a hut-re revolving barrel, with The ship hung in- side, ami not coming in contact with ° the ""iter..1,1 clear weather it would go like s gi'tyuovmi. The ii venter submitted his ides to a nautical expert in England, who said it violated no principle of navigation.
