NOTES OS PASSING EVENTS. THE ENGINE MEN'S DISPUTE SETTLED. The announcement made in Thursday morning's daily newspapers that a tem- porary settlement had been arrived at with reference to the enginemen's dispute, and that the notices to terminate contracts had been withdrawn, enabled, the teeming popu- lation of the colliery districts to breathe freely once more. A terrible crisis seemed imminent at the beginning of the week, but we are glad to say wise counsels prevailed, and whatever may be the outcome of future negotiations, we have beyond question been spared a strike, which might have proved disastrous to the commerce and South Wales and Monmouthshire. The enginemen, stokers, and outside fitters resisted the 7-1 2 per cent. reduction, on the ground that they ytere not oiffcially recognised, and that it was unfair to ask them tc submit to a reduction of wages under an agreement which they had no hand in drawing up. On Wednesday an agreement (signed and sealed) was come to between Sir William Thomas Lewis (acting on bebalf of the Monmouthshire and South Wales Coal- owners' Association), and Mr Whitcombe (acting for the enginemen, stokers, and out- side fitters), the clauses being as follows (1). That each association should appoint six representatives for the purpose of forming a joint committee for settling an agreement for the fature regulation of wages between employer and em- ployed. (2). That all notices gived by the workmen for terminating contracts shall be withdrawn to- morrow. (3). That the joint committee shall meet as ooon as possible for the purpose of entering into a detailed agreement. (4). That in the meantime the enginemen, stokers, and outside fitters shall be governed by the Sliding-scale agreement dated 1st January, 1892, and any fluctuations in wages tlieivunder- taking effect one month later than the colliers.

Coaafy Council Contests. THE FIGHT AT CAERPHILLY. There can be no question as to the activity of the candirtates in the Caerphilly Division, and, notwithstanding the complication which has arisen in the shape of a thpeat to ran c. third can- didate, the contest, so far. lies between Captain Bill-Male, the choice of the Liberal Committee, and Mr "amnel Evans, the "Independent." The third gentleman spoken of is Mr David Lewis, solicitor, of Cardiff, who was formerly an alder- man but whose term of office expired with the life of the old Council. Captain Hill-Male addressed a largly-attended public meeting at the Board Schools, Caerphilly, on Tuesday evening. Mr Ed. Jones, of Hhos, presided, and in opening the proceedings gave an outline of the steps taken by the Liberals of Caer- philly, Taff's Well, and Cilfynydd to avoid the ex- pense of a contest. The choice of the committee. he said, had fallen upon Captain Hill-Male, and it was a matter for regret to find there was now some talk of another candidate being brought out besides the Independent oandidate—(applause.) He hoped the spe akers w nld be lenient, and that the meeting would give the speakers a proper hearing.—Rev Joshua Thomas Cuedpeninioa, and Rev T. Phillips, Gwaelodygarth, having spoken in support of Captain Hiit-M .Ie* a candida- ture, the Rev W. l. Morris, Pontypridd, followea, and, in the course of his address, expressed regret that there seemed to be another Liberal candidate in the field. He hoped no stop would be taken whioh would oreate a breact, so wide as to enable Mr Evans, the Tory candidate, to get ia-(haar, bear.) Mr Evaas said he was an Independent oandidate, bat when a resolution in favour of Dis- establishment in Wales was brought forward at the County Council would Mr Evans support it ? -(criee of "Ne" and laughter.) Would he sap- port Mr Bowen Rowlands' Local Veto Bill ?—(a voioe "No fear," laughter, and hear, hear.)- Rev J. Davies, Taihirion, and Rev E. Jones, Berthlwyd, were the next speakers, the last- named gentleman contending hat although the County Council had no legislative p3wers, it had a representative tongue, and that being the case it was necessary that the Liberals of the division should make their voices unmistakably heard- (hear, hear) Besides, Capt^io Hill-Miile had been regularly chosen by the Liberal organisa- tion, and they must maintain tneir organisation by supporting the candidate of that organisation— (applause.)—Mr Fred Davies asked to be allowed to speak, and was met with c ies of "Sit down," and the ohairmin remarked that he could ask questions after the candidate had spoken—(hear, hear ) Mr Davies said he wanted tj propose a resolution. -The Chairman This is not the t.me for that -Captain Hill-Male, however, thought it would be better to let Mr Davies have his say— (applanse.)—Mr Fred Oavies thereupon remarked that a meeting held at Caerphilly the previous night bad invited Mr David L =wi« to stand, and he therefore objected to the present meeting going to a vote, as there were children and non voters ptesent.—The chairman replied taat he would re. torn the oompliment by saying there were children and non-voters present at the previous night's meeting, and that the gentleman who took the most active part in that meeting was a non- voter—(laughter and applause.)—Mr Davies then sat down without proposing any resolution.- Captain Hi 1-Male, in the course of a brief ad- dress, said he considered that in omiag out as a candidate hA was simply responding to the call of duty, and be thought the 643 votes recorded for him last time showed that there had been a oall to daty- (applause.) R-ferenoo had been made to opposition. Well, all he could say was to repeat what he had said at the previous meeting, that if the working men wanted him he would stand in opposition to any oandidate that might come for- ward-(applause.) If they did not want him, let them say eo, and he was off like a shot out of a goa"-(laughtPr and applause.)—On the motion of the ehairmau, seconded by Mr Robert Williams (Caerphilly), a reaolu ion pledging the meeting to support Captai HM-M&le w, 9 passed, euly one hanri being hold up against it.—Captain H.ll.Male, whose rising a second time was a signal for loud cheers, said he considered he had re- ceived bis mandate, and would now fight the seat against all comers. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. ynyshir" division. A large meeting of electors was held at Hermon Chapel, Pontygwaith, on Friday evening, March 25th, to hear addresses from the candidate who had been invited to contest the division. Mr Wm. Williams, checkweigher, presided. Mr Jame3 Miles, of National Colliery, was one _1 L 1- .:1 i u.l J. t- 11 of the candidates, and in the course of his address stated that he had no desire to thrust himself upon the electors, nor to plunge the constituency into the expense of a contested election, and de- clined to contest the seat on political lines, as he considered County Councils were purely adminis- trative and not legislative bodies, and that their time could be more profitably employed than in discussing abstract resolutions on Home Rule for Ireland, Disestablishment for Wales, and Mr Alfred Thomas' defunct National Institutions Bill. He cordially approved of Mr Alderman Walter Morgan's proposed outline of a District Council's Bill. He also advocated sweeping re forms in regard to the system of voting at local elections, and in regard to private bill legisla- tion. Mr Councillor Morgan Thomas, Ferndale, next addressed the meeting, and spoke with consider- able animation as to the necessity of fighting the election on political lines. The Rev J. D. Hughes, the nominee of the Labour and Liberal Association, afterwards ad- dressed the meeting in Welsh, and said that he meant to fight the election on political lines, and remarked that he was a thorough Radical. He (vi r Hughes) said that he must have been born a Radical. Mr Hughes was eventually adopted by the meeting as the Liberal candidate, inasmuch as Mr Miles had definitely declined to contest the seat on political lines. A vote of thanks to Mr Miles for his excellent speech, and a similar vote to the chairman for presiding, brought the meeting to a close.
Local Bills in Parliament,
Local Bills in Parliament, PONTYPRIDD WATER. The Select Committee of the House of Lords appointed to inquire into the Pontypridd Water Bill sat on Monday. Lord Basing presided. Mr Balfour Brown, Q.C., Mr Baggally, and Mr Williams appeared for the promoters, the Ponty- pridd Waterworks Company, and the opponents were represented as follows:—The Pontypridd Local Board, Mr Worsley Taylor, Q.C., and Mr Rickards the Tetrad Local Board, Mr Williams, Q.C.; the Locket's Merthyr Steam Coal Company, Mr Denman Benson; and Messrs Insole and others Mr Cripps, Q.C. Mr Balfour Browne explained that the Bill was one to authorise the Pontypridd Water works Company to construct additional water- works and for other purposes. The company were incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1864. In 1875 they came to Parliament for new works and for extended limits. In 1885 they came to Parliament for a provisional order, authorising them to raise further capital. The limits of supply were somewhat straggling. They ran up several valleys and covered the districts of four or five local authorities. Most of the districts had, since the company was established, rapidly in- creased in population, and now there was a de- mand for more water than the company were in a position to supply. The expenditure on capital account in existing works up to the present titpe had been £ 72,850 8s, or £ 2,850 8s 3d beyond the company's authorised powers. In order to supply the wants of the district the directors had been obliged to make themselves personally liable to the extra amount. That money had been ex- pended in consequence of the enormous develop- ment of the coal industry in the district. In 1881 the population of Ystrad was 65,632, but in 1891 z it had risen to 88,350. In the Pontypridd Looal Board district the population in 1881 was 12,317 in 1891, 19,971. Beyond the limits of the Local Board district there had been a rapid increase and the company looked for a still more rapid in* crease in the future. The company now supplied 9,117 houses and 60,000 persons The present works could supply 900,000 gallons of water daily, but the demand was something like 1,500,000 gal- lons a day. The Aber district, which was situate east of Pontypridd.had been within the company's limit for many years, but up to the present they had not supplied it with water. Another com- pany now asked that the district should be trans- ferred to them. The Pontypridd Company had always regarded Aber as a valuable possession, and he hoped the committee would not deprive them of it. The promoters' claim was to take the water of a drainage area of 2,200 acres. They thought it well to provide for a population of 100,000, and therefore to be able to supply 2,500,000 gallons a day. This they could do by means of the large storage capacity of 160,000,000 gallons which they proposed to provide. The esti- mate for the new works was £67.500, and the capital they were seeking power to raise was £120,000. Th"y were opposed by the Local Boards of Pontypridd and Ystrad, both of whom said they ought to be the owners of the water- works. He could not help thinking that the Boards were in a most hopeless position. Where a water company was only supplying a Local Board district it was a somewhat easy matt v to transfer the works from the company to the Local Board, but where a company was supplying in four or five separate districts, the transfer became so complicated, and there were so many local jealousies, that the thing became almost impos- sible. In this c ise the right tiling for the op. ponents to have done would have been to negoci- ate with the company, and to have come to Par- liament with an agreed Bill, by which a general Board for the whole district could have been formed. The only other opponents of the Bill who still remained unsafisfied were the Locket Merthyr Steam Coal Company and Me \srs Insole and the Cymmer Colliery Company, who seemed to be afraid that injury would be done to their in. terests. He thought it would be found that these "petitioners were rather benefited than otherwise by the proposed works. Mr William Jones, manager of the waterworks company, described the existing works, and said that, owing to the in* rease of population, the demand for water in the district had largelf increased of late The company could not now meet the demand, and it was estimated that in the future there would be an unusually large increase in population owing to the development) of the mining industry. The Pontypridd Local Board had complained of the supply of water the company afforded. Lord Basing said the Committee declared the preamble of the Bill passed without the compul- sion clauses. The Committee, however, would re- quire the period for the completion of the works to be shortened-say to a period within five years and it m ght even be shortened to something like 18 months if the discussion on the clauses was shortened.

TEMPERANCE AND PROHIBIT!)!}…
TEMPERANCE AND PROHIBIT!)!} NOTES. (FROM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT). All temperance friends should bear in mind Wednesday, April 6. On that day two temperance Bills of prime importance stand for second reading in the House of Commons—the Scotch Direct Veto Bill and the English Sunday Closing Bill. Whatever may prove to be their chance3 of discussion and division, their supporters outside should not fail by letter or otherwise to press their cl*im upon members of Parliament. No harm, but possibly great good, will be done by a large number of letters being sent to members. The Scotch Bill is strougly supported by the people of Scotland, as indicated in these notes last week; and as to the English Sanday Closing Bill, it is quite too late in the day for serious opposi- tion. The marvel is that the Bill has not been passed long ago. The more need to strive strenuously tcx its passage now. The principle of Loc%! Option ha.s gained a signal victory at Saltaire, in Yorkshire. Founded by Six Titus Salf as a prohibition township, and kert so all through save for an experiment of "off" sale, aban- doned years ago after tbn years because of the disastrous results of the innovation, the town W.1 lately the scene of another attempt to obtain a license. Some of the heads of the Salf family and firm supported the proposed application; but the Saltaire people who knew the benefits of prohibition rose in protest, held indignation meetings, and generally made things so lively that two days before the licensing session the application was withdrawn. Mr T H Evans as "Old Ebony, the black oruor," gave on Thursday at the Athenaeum Hall, Tottenham Court Road, London, a special perform- ance of his humorous lectors entertainment, entitled "Bottles," before an audience chiefly consisting of presidents, secretaries, and committeemen of a large number of temperance societies and organisations. Mr Evans, who was for many years connected with the publication department of the National Temperance League, has for the last 15 or 16 years made his name well known as a humorous writer on temperance by the publication of Evans' Temper- ance Annual," which has been a great success, his writings being full of sound seuse and temporanoe philosophy, as well as of wit and humour. Mr Evans' entertainment consists of a very cleverly delivered oration of the negro type, on the origin and genealogy of the great family of Bottles, muay typioal examples of which were exhibited by him in illustration of his "points," especial emphasis, of coarse, being laid on the part which bottles have played and still play in the great tragedy of intemperance. The lecture, though bristling with fan, humour, and satire, is qaite devoid of vulgarity or coarseness, and contains many touches of pathos, Mr Evans intersperses his oration with six well> delivered original songs, his daughter acting as accompanist. The chairman, Mr Thomas Hudsou, F.S.S., expressed his high apprfciation of the value of Mr Evans's entertainment, remarking that kindly hnmour and gentle satire were weapons which were of great valn g ia the conflict with intemperance although hitherto they had been too much neglected. Mr J L Dessarne, M.J.I., moved, and Mr Charles F Havert seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr and Miss Evans. Both speakers,who are teetotallers of long standing and wide experience as to temparance entertainments, spoke in highly favorable terms of Mr Evans' eutertainment, and commended it to the attention of both the temperance and general public. An all too short spell of summer weather last week end gave added zest to a brief ran away from London smoke to the sylvan sweetness of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire Thanks to the fast train service of the Great Western Railway suah a ran is soon accom- plished, and with a degree of comfort that compares as favourably with some of the town lines as the country does with the town. The immediate object in view was a couple of temperance gatherings to which was preeeuted some striking and unique facts on the subject of the prohibition of the lioaor tratfio in parts of America and Canada. That great progress has been made in those coantries in that direction is self-evident, and the facts recordee were greatly enhanced in value by limelight illustrations of the places discoursed of.
