Winfrey for South-West Norfolk. General Sir G. Chesney, M.P. for the city of Oxford, died suddenly on Sunday morning from any inn at his residence in London. He had nearly completed his both year.
A crowded meeting of Liberals and temperance reformers resolved by an overwhelming vote to oppose the adoption of Mr Mark Bemfoy, M.P., as candidate for the Kenniogton constituency at the next election. A curious feature of the long debate which closed on Monday night is that not one of the three Tory members returned for Wales and Monmouthshire had a word to t-av against the Bill They are Colonel Morgan, Mr. Kenyon, and Sir Pryce Jones. In consequence of a letter received from Mr. Middleton, secretary of the National Union of Conservative Associations, Mr.
Nelson, who became the Conservative candidate for Warwick and Leamington, has, it is understood, withdrawn from the contest in favour of the Unionist candidate. Mr. C. Higgins, the member for Mid-Norfolk, has applied to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr.
Clement Higgins will not offer himself for re-election in the Mid Norfolk division. The Liberal Unionist candidate will be Mr. K. T. Gurdon.
who will be opposed by Mr. F. W. Wilson in the Gladstonian interest. According to the London correspondents, the Government are likely to accept the resolution in favour of a second ballot which is to be moved this (Friday) evening.
It is also supposed that should House pass the motion by a large majority the Government might he induced to include provision for the second ballot in their Returning Expenses Bill.

In the House of the Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Consolidated Fund (No. 1) Bill and the Australian Colonies Customs Duties Bill. The House of Commons went early into Committee of Supply upon a vote on account of £4,439,258 for the Civil Service and Revenue Departments. The matters discussed included that relating to the rumoured French expeditions in the Nile alley and the British sphere of influence there, on which Sir E. Grey made an important speech.
Shortly before midnight the vote was agreed to. FRIDAY. The House of Lords adopted a proposal made by the Lord Chancellor declaring it desirable that a Joint Committee of both Houses should be appointed consider in what manner such inconvenience as arises from legislation by reference in Acts of Parliament to prior enactments can best be avoided. Lord Norton initiated a discussion on the new Education In the House of Commons the Report stage of the Vote on Account was taken. Questions relating to the settlement of Swaziland and the appointment of Mr.
Sadler as director of special inquiries and reports connected with the Education Department were discussed. In a division on the latter subject the Government had a majority of votes against 71. the evening sitting of the Commons, Mr. Dalzicl moved his resolution in favour of devolving upon legislatures in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England respectively the management and control of their domestic affairs. Mr.
Lloyd George, Mr. Neville, and Mr. J. Dillon supported, while Mr. J.
Redmond opposed it. Sir George Trevelyan declared that nothing had recently occurred to diminish the motive for supporting it. Mr. Balfour having spoken against it, the resolution was carried by 128 votes to 102, a majority of 26. MONDAY.
In the House of Lords Lord Kimberley, in response to a question from Lord Knutsford, stated that the most convenient thing would he for the House to adjourn after the sitting of the loth inst. for three weeks. It would, however, be necessary for the House to meet once in that interval for the purpose of approving the new Speaker of the House of Commons. In the Commons, replying to a question addressed to him by Colenel Waring for Mr. Curzon, Sir E.
Grey was glad to say that the promised agreement between the British and Russian Governments with reference to the Pamirs was now completed and would be placed before the House very soon. Sir Harcourt, answering questions as to the course of business, said it was proposed to ask for leave to introduce the Local Veto Bill on Monday next, and he hoped they might be allowed to read the Factory Bill a second time on Monday or Tuesday. It was proposed that the House should rise on Wednesday, meetagain on Monday, the 22nd. Sir J. Gorst resumed the adiourned debate on the second reading of the Welsh Disestablishment Bill.
Mr. Bryce maintained that all the considerations which justified disestablishment in Ireland applied to the Church of England in Wales, Mr. Goschen drew a sharp stinction between the case of Wales and that of Ire'and, and declared that the task now undertaken by the Government had been described by Mr. Gladstone as impossible. Mr.
Birrell supported the Bill in a brilliant speech; and in the subsequent debate the measure was also approved by Mr. Brynmor Jones. Mr. S. Smith, and Mr E.
J. C. Morton; but opposed by' Sir J. Mowbray, Mr. Bill, and Mr.
Busknill. Mr Balfour said that if the opposition of the country could be collected in a manner that wood do justice to the minority in Wales, every member of the House knew that a very different proportion than 31 to 3 would come to that House with regard to the subject of the Church. The Bill proposed to deprive the English Church 1 in Wales of the whole of the property which she possessed before the arbitrarily chosen year 1703. I It required a strong case to be made out before they deprived any corporation of long standing of any property which it possessed, and he would ask whether the donor, even though he might have lived a thousand years ago, was to be absolutely neglected. A strong case for the Bill ought to be made out before the gigantic and cruel revolution it proposed was passed.
The most obvious intention of the Bill was not to free the Church, but to destroy it. The Government had determined that the Welsh would have no terms like the Irish Church, and they had doomed her to death beforehand by a kind of creeping paralysis. Sir W. Harcourt, in closing the debate, said the question to be considered was whether the endowments-of the Church were advantageously applied to the state of society that now existed iu Wales, and he declined to be diverted from that sideration by larger questions. Of the English race two-thirds were without an Established Church, and were they less religious than the other third that had an Establishment? Establishrnent was a restriction upon the Church, but the State insisted upon Establishment as a correlative I condition of the endowments.
The question of endowment was the real fighting part of the case. It was not a question of doctrines or of discipline, i It was a question of money- The question to he i settled that night was whether it was right, politic, 1 and wise to deal in the manner proposed with the Church in Wales, and he ventured to atfirm that a national Church ought not to exist in a community like that of Wales unless it represented the sentiments and convictions of the majority of the people. The House then divided, and the second reading was carried by 304 votes to 260, a Govern- I meat majority of 44. TUESDAY. A short sitting of the House of Lords was held, during which it was agreed to appoint a Select Committee to consider what amendments it was I expedient to make in the Day Act.
I In the House of Commons the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated, in reply to Sir M. Hicks-Beach, that the Budget statement would be made in the week after that on which the House met after the Easter recess, but he was not quite sure whether it would be on the Monday or the Thursday. On the consideration of the Great Eastern Railway Bill as amended, Mr. Macdonald moved its rejection. He charged the Great Eastern Railway Company with failing to loyally co-operate with the Board of Trade in giving effect to its regulations.
He founded his charge upon certain remarks made by Lord Claud Hamilton in his speech at the last half-yearly meetingof shareholders as to the arbitrary interference of the Board of Trade between the Company and its workmen, and referred to the Railway (Hours of Labour) Act of 1893 as childish in its Bryce did not wonder that attention had been called to the language of Lord Claud Hamilton. The Board of Trade were doing their best to administer the Hours of Labour Act in the spirit in which Parliament passed it, and it would be extremely undesirable for the House to take this opportunity to pronounce an opinion on the conduct of the Company in matters not referred to in the Bill. He hoped the opposition would not be After discussion, Mr. Macdonald withdrew his motion. Mr.
J. Morley, who was received with cheers moved the second reading of the Land Law (Ireland) Bill, the main proposals of which he explained at some length. The Chief Secretary began by an apology for further speech, after having made exorbitant demands on the patience of the House when introducing the Bill. The truth is, he pleaded, that the subject is so technical and so complex, is interwoven with so many opposite principles of law and with such a mass of unfamiliar fact, that it was necessary for him to endeavour to make plainer some three or four main principles. This was the more so as since the Bill was printed no serious attempt had been made by critics to clear up the position.
The articles he had read in the newspapers were rather querulous and railing than criticising. Mr. Carson had made a speech full of that rather mechanical, automatic violence which is sometimes called forensic, and of which Irish lawyers have command, but which neither helps any question forward nor keeps any question back. He had denounced the proposals of the Government as the most disastrous and revolutionary ever laid before the House. But Mr.
Morley was relieved when he found at a later stage that Mr. Carson had not determined whether or not he should vote against the second reading. One of his colleagues, Mr. St. John Brodrick, had written a letter in which he said that Mr.Morlev had missed a great chance.
On reading that letter, the Chief Secretary found the great chance he had missed was that of introducing a sham, empty, and iftrograde Bill, which would have satisfied neither Irish landlords nor Irish tenants. After this spirited exordium, Mr. Morley proceeded to enlarge on certain points set forth in his speech on introducing the Bill. Mr. Carson followed, subjecting the Bill to a close and searching criticism on points of detail, which had the effect of steadily emptying the benches, from the moderately full condition in which Mr.
Morley had left them. Looking at the Bill from the preamble to the schedules, Mr. Carson was not able to find any good in it. The conclusion he confidently arrived at was that when he declared the Bill to be revolutionary, he was not very far wrong Confiscation was written on every clause, and, if the measure became law, sooner or later similar demands would be made respect to propertv in England. Mr.
Knox observed that if the Bill were, as Mr. Carson had described it. a revolutionary measure, it was the most peaceful revolution ever known. Never had measure of this kind been received with such general acceptance. WEDNESDAY.
The House of Commons was occupied during the greater part of the sitting with two Bills of a widely divergent character. The first of these the second reading of which was moved by Mr. W. Allan, the well-known engineer, proposed that I persons in charge of engines and boilers in mines, mills, and other factories, should be required to obtain a certificate of competency. The measure was supported by Mr.
Fenwick and by Mr. J. Burns, who regretted certain exemptions, including agricultural machinery, the mover proposed to make. The President of the Board of Trade suggested that the Bill should be read a second time and carefully examined by a Select (Jommittoe in regard to the application of its provisions to particular trades, aud that it should afterwards he sent to a Grand Committee. Sir A.
Hickman having withdrawn an amendment he had moved for the rejection of the Bill, the proposal of the President of the Board of Trade was agreed to, and the Bill read and committed accordingly. Mr. Hayes Fisher then moved the second reading of a Bill which would in effect enable the Bishops to refuse to institute unfit persons to livings, and facilitate the removal of clergymen who had shown themselves unfit, or incapable of discharging their duties. Mr. George Russell said the Government would not withhold their assent from the second reading, they reserved to themselves full liberty of action as to details, and with special reference to clauses not contained in last Bill.
Colonel Sandys objected to the powers proposed being conferred upon the Bishops, and moved the rejection of the measure. A division taken after further discussion resulted in the Bill being read a second time by 17D to 118. The measure was then referred to the Legal Grand Committee. A Bill submitted by Sir T. Fry for preventing disfranchisem*nt of persons receiving outdoor relief in exchange for labour in special circ*mstances was under discussion when-the time for ceasing opposed business arrived.

H. Hoare, M.P. Yesterday (Thursday) week a conference of the temperance party in West Cambs. was held in Llandatf Chambers, under the presidency of Rev. Dr.
W. F. Moulton, J.P., on the invitation of the deputation which interviewed Mr. H. Hoare, M.P., and the Liberal Whips at the House of Commons last Session.
The Chairman, in opening the meeting, declared that they were met together not as party politicians nor out of personal hostility to Mr. Hoare, but as temperance workers who believed in the greatness and urgency of their cause, to consider what attitude they should in the future assume towards Mr. Hoare in view of his change of opinion on the question of temperance legis.a-tion. He did not deny any right to change his opinion, but he considered whilst Mr. Hoare was free in 1892 and would be free at the next election, between these two events he was bound by the pledges he gave to his constituents when asking for their suffrages, and he ought loyally to carrv out those pledges.
He trusted they would discuss the matter calmly and with due consideration for anv differences of opinion which might arise, and that they might come to some practical conclusion which would promote the interests of the great cause they all had at heart. Mr. J. Newton (U.K.A.) was then called upon to give an account of Mr. change of views, and of the communications which had passed between him and the temperance leaders.
In doing so he took occasion to repudiate an insinuation which had been made that the temperance parly was in collusion with the Conservatives. They had acted solely in the interests of temperance legislation, and had been guided by no other considerations whatever. A long and interesting discussion followed, and while some difference of opinion was apparent as to any extreme measures being taken, which were approved by many present, there was a general agreement in expressing strong disapproval of Mr. action, and finally, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: this meeting of temperance voters and workers in the West Cambs. Division regards Mr.
Hoare as no longer a fit representative of our views, after his change of opinion in regard to Temperance Legislation, and this meeting therefore urges the leaders of the Liberal party to withdrawal of Mr. Hoare from the position of official Liberal candidate, and the substitution of a candidate who will support the temperance section of the Newcastle and so unite the whole of the party in the division. This was moved by Mr. T. Goodman, seconded by Mr.
G. Lever, and supported by Mr. H. Hopkins and others. The first and last named gentlemen were very active supporters of Mr.
Hoare at the last election in Royston and Sutton respectively. Amongst others who took part iu the discussion previous to the adoption of this resolution were Rev. J. H. Moulton, M.A., Councillor J.
Rurford, J.P., Rev. H. Fleming, Rev. H. F.
Griffin. Messrs. Cane and Mason (Royston), J. Sanders, J. Winship, H.
Wilson, C. Dixon, Goldsmith, and W. K. Vawser. By a second resolution it was decided to forward copies of No 1 to Lord Rosebery, Sir W.
Harcourt, Mr. T. E. Ellis, M.P, Mr. H.
Hoare, M.P., and the Hon. Secretary West Carabs. Liberal Association. This was moved by Mr. J.
Winship, seconded by Mr. J. Sanders, and supported by Mr. Cane and others. A cordial vote of thanks was accorded to Dr.
Moulton for presiding, and to Mr. J. Winship for the use of the room, and the meeting separated after having lasted about two hours and a half. Mr. Asquith at Nottingham.
The Home Secretary, speakino: on Wednesday night at a great Gladstonian meeting at Nottingham, over which Mr. A. Morley, M.P., presided, said that though the Government had long since had its grave dug by its politicalopponents.it continued to exhibit strong symptoms of vitality. They were exhorted to dissolve Parliament, but had no intention of doing so till they had put before the House of Commons the measures to which the Liberal Party was pledged. He repudiated the theory that there was no room side by side for political and social legislation, and' said the Government would carry forward large and beneficial measures of political reconstruction and social reform, ilr.
Asquith proceeded to discuss at length the question of the Welsh Church. In regard to the dispute in the boot trade, he hoped that the two parties would not allow obstinate adherence even to strong and settled convictions to prevent their coming together. He looked forward to a time when strikes would become obsolete as a method of settling trade disputes. The discovery cf a new gas is announced. It was made by Professor Ramsay while experimenting with argon and its spectrum corresponds with that of the hitherto unidentified element in the sun to which the name helium had been given.

The 52nd annual race between Oxford and Cambridge Universities took place on Saturday afternoon over the usual course, from Putney to Mortlate, the weather being fine during the race. The i Oxford crew, containing as it did six old Blues, had gained the reputation of being one of the very I finest crews that had been seen on the and their trials bore out this opinion.
1 he Cambridge crew suffered frjm bad luck all along the line. The difficulty of getting a respectable crew together was followed by an abnormal frost which covered the Gam with ice, causing a ssation of practice, and the crew went to the Thames at Cookham for a week. The effects of the cessation caused by the frost, however, re- maiued, and were not got rid of, and the practice on the Thames during the few weeks before the race was not at all satisfactory. Indeed, it was expected that the race would be a mere procession. 1 The Cambridge crew, however, rowed very pluckily, and gave the Oxford men a good race for three-quarters of the course, and lost by 24 lengths.
The Press comments on the race are all complimentary to the Cambridge crew for the plucky manner in which they rowed the race. The Sportsman says that though defeated the Cambridge crew of 1895 certainly covered themselves with The Uaihj News said made a hard fight of it for twelve minutes, and got nearly up to Chiswick Church before their defeat could be looked upon as certain. To do so much in face of all the adverse criticisms passed on them during their practice at Putney was more than creditable, and though beaten easily enough at the finish, they proved themselves a faf better eight than even heir most loyal friends had The Standard remarked, who had the goo I fortune to find themselves between Putney and Chiswick were rewarded by the sight of one of the garnest races ever rowed, for the Cambridge crew, with all its members new to this time-honoured contest, with the worse station, and, in addition, victims to sundry other phases of ill luck, made a gal'ant struggle for victory. Though Cambridge did not win on Saturday, they deserved to said the Daily Chronicle. The crew, though new, was good enough to win three years out of five, as the time, on a not very strong tide, abundantly shows.
And the Oxford boat contained so many Blues that it was probably one of the very best crews ever sent from Isis to Thames. The way in which the Cambridge stroke persevered, though out-classed from the first, was a thing to see and to remember, and the cheers at the finish were certainly intended as much for the plucky losers as for the experienced Both crews numbered several tall young fellows. The tallest of all was Mr T. J. G.
Duncanson, of the Cambridge crew, who stands four inches over 6ft. Besides the above, there were also in the, same crew two of 6ft. another of 6ft. 3in. and a fourth of 6ft.
2in. In the Oxford boat four of the men were Over 6ft. in height.

TUB RACE. Oxford won the toss for choice of stations and elected to take the Surrey berth, which had unquestionably an advantage, there being some shelter, as the south-west wind blew off that shore, while the bend in the river favoured them for the first two and a half miles. Cambridge, as the challengers, were first afloat, putting their boat into the water at eight minutes to four and going to the Middlesex station, Oxford following five or six minutes later. Very little time was wasted in preliminaries, and at eight minutes after four o'clock Mr. Willan fired a pistol as a signal for the start Cambridge appeared to get hold of the water first, and at the upper end of the Star and Garter Hotel led by the length of their forward canvas, the rate of stroke being 184 and 364 in the opening half and full minute, as against 20 and 39 rowed by Oxford.
Cambridge still held their advantage at the Duke's Head Inn, but the faster stroke of the Oxonians enabled them to gain, and the boats were running on even terms off boatyard. Passing River-bank-garden Oxford went slowly in front, and led by perhaps a dozen feet at the London Rowing Club fiagstaff, but Cambridge travelled equally fast until abreast of the old Creek, where both crews had dropped to 34 strokes a minute. Then Oxford again drew away from their opponents, being a quarter of a.length in front at the half-mile tree and a trifle-more at Craven Steps, reached in2rnin. 22sec the work in each boat being very well done. Opposite the Grass Wharf the difference in favour of Oxford was a third of a length, but in making a long shoot across for the Surrey shore the leaders improved their position, and were fully half a length ahead at the milepost (time, 4min.
6sec and this lead was still further increased to two-thirds of a length at Eosebank-villa. It now looked as if Oxford were going right away from their opponents, as they led by nearly threequarters of a length at the site of the old Crab Tree, and moreover had the advantage of the bend in the river for the next mile and a half of the course, while they derived some benefit from the shelter of the Surrey bank. At Stores (the site of the time-honoured Soap Works) Oxford led by nearly a length, but Mr. Wauchope, whose crew was dropping slowly astern, now spurted up to 36 strokes a minute and gained slightly. Rounding the bend the Oxford coxswain sheered out so as to clear the Surrey buttress of Hammersmith-bridge, but he did it rather abruptly and thereby caused the Cambridge steersman to pull his right line hard so as to avoid all risk of a collision.
By so doing Cambridge lost what little ground they had gained. The water at this point was rendered somewhat lumpy by the strong cross wind, but the crews maintained their good form through it, Cambridge still rowing 36 strokes a minute to the 34 of Oxford, and when Hammersmith-bridge was reached in 7min. 37sec. the latter were exactly a length in advance. Once through the Suspensionbridge the crews got into very broken water, the fact of the south-westerly breeze meeting the flowing tide accounting for this state of things.
It was surprising how well the racing boats stood the severe strain, and that the men kept such good form as they did. The rate of stroke dropped in both boats as the crews met the full force of the foul wind, but excitement ran high when it was observed that the Cambridge crew were certainly travelling the faster of the two, the difference between the boats being three-quarters of a length only at the Rutland Hotel, and there was no change as boathouse was passed. However, Oxford being closer to the bank were here in better water than their opponents, and they drew away again off the Doves (two miles) and continued to forge ahead, so that there was a foot or two of daylight visible between the racing craft at the top of Hammersmith Upper Mall, where the steersmen appeared unable to cope with the adverse wind, the boats yawing about all oyer the river in the boil of water. Opposite the Oil Mills the condition of the river was still worse, white crested waves continually breaking over the gunwales of the eights. At this point the Cambridge crew got more or less irregular, several of the men splashing badlv, but this was not surprising, as they were, in addition, suffering from a heavy wash from the bow-side oars of the leaders.
The Oxford crew were thus enaoled to lead by a length and a quarter at the Timber Stacks, a little below Chiswick Eyot and they then steered directly in front of Cambridge, making matters still worse for the latter, the wash at times breaking over the backs of the men. Despite these uncanny surroundings the Cantabs once more settled together, but they failed to gain anything, as they were struggling along in the wake of the leaders, and when Chiswick Church was reached in 12min. 17sec. Oxford led by fully a length and a half. The hard work which both crews had undergone now caused them to lower their stroke to 31 per minute along the Duke of meadows, but this was again increased to 34 at Little Profit, the junction of the Lonsdale-road with the towpath, Oxford still gaining and leading by two lengths at St.
The water was a trifle smoother below Barnes-bridge, reached in 17min. and the Cantabs spurted to 35 strokes a minute, but their exertions now told upon them, and, getting short and irregular, they fell awav, being nearly three lengths astern at the South-Western Railway bridge. Passing boathouse, Mr. Wauchope was timed to be rowing 35 strokes a minute, but Oxford at a steady 32 held their already formidable lead, although as the latter still slowed down Cambridge drew up a trifle.

CHESS. OXFORD v. CAMBRIDGE. The annual match between the Universities took place on Fridayat the British Chess Club, 37, Kingstreet, Covent Gardens. The surroundings were, as usual, of a pleasant character, and the play was followed with considerable interest by a large number of spectators.
Those who followed the play of the Universities in their matches onTuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were quite prepared to see Oxford making a good fight, but they did not expect such a complete reversal of formas occurred in match, which was won by Oxford for the first time in six years. The play of Oxford was even more effective than would appear by the score. If any explanation of the reversal of form is at all necessary we may ascribe the Cambridge defeat to the absence of Atkins from the ranks of the Light Blues, and the accession of Cooper, a promising player, to the Oxford team. But the Dark Blues played well all round. The final score proved to 4, Cambridge 3.

It was announced in the official list for Monday (April day), that the Lord Chancellor would sit in No. 1 Court of the Chancery Division to hear some cases which had been assigned to Mr. Justice Homer for trial, and counsel with their witnesses from the country and a considerable number of the public were in court by half-past ten but it soon transpired that the Lord Chancellor had made no such arrangement, and that somebody had made an awkward mistake on the most awkward day of the year for doing it. CAMBRIDGE LICENSED ASSOCIATION The annual dinner of the Cambridge and District Licensed Association was held at the Guildhall, Cambridge, on Wednesday evening.
In the abadhee of Mr. Reginald Mortimer, Mr. H. A. Newton, manager of the National Trade Defence Fund, presided.
There were about fio or 70 present, including Mr. Raymond Greene, Mr. B. Chennell (Newmarket), Mr. T.
Coulson, Mr. C. Williams (chairman of the Association), Mr. J. J.
Dunne. At the conclusion of the repast and after the loyal toast had been duly honoured, Mr. Dunne announced letters apologising for inability to be present from Mr. Marner, for Mr. McCalmont, Mr.
Cosmo-Bonser, Mr. A. Hall (trustee of the Association), Mr. H. E.
Hoare, M.P., Alderman Redfern, and Mr. A. Lyon. Mr. Raymond Greene proposed the toast of The Houses of There were those at the present day, he said, who would like to do away with the House of Lords, and there were also those who would like to do away with the House of Commons.
Others again professed that they would like to do away with both. But threatened men lived long, and he believed there was a long life in front of both Houses of Parlia- life which he hoped would be marked with useful and beneficial legislation, and which would be successful in their united endeavour to preserve the liberty, protect the property, and promote the welfare of the people of this country. Of the House of Lords he would only say, and even its enemies must admit it, that by its dignity, its independence of action and thought, and by its absolute incorruptibility, it had won the respect and envy of all other countries in the world. To the House of Commons a great debt of gratitude was owing for the hard work which was done by it. They had no short 1 eight hours a day for them.
That wts not an association for the promotion or discussion of party politics, but there were occasions upon which matters of the greatest importance must come before Parliament affecting the trade. It was a matter for the greatest regret that those questions should be allowed to become in any sense party questions. There was one matter before them at the present question of Local Veto perhaps as one who was personally interested in the subject they would allow him to say a few words upon that question. He had been asked by the Association whether he was in favour of giving full and equitable comriensation to all persons having an interest in any icence when it was taken away on public grounds and through no fault of the holder. To that question he answered because he believed if the holder did not get compensation the taking away of his licence was an act of confiscation.
He knew the old argument that what the State had given Hie State could take away was an argument brought f- rward to justify acts of robbery. It was true that the licence expired every year, but there had grown up an by the State that, provided the licence was not abused, it would be renewed at the end of each year. The second question asked of him was whether he would vote against any Bill embodying the principle of local or direct Veto. To that question also he replied li at the same time reserving to himself the right on any future occasion on which legislation might be proposed with the object of reducing the number of licences, and at the same time giving full and adequate compensation, of either approving or disapproving of it. He considered the principle of Direct Veto to be an unjust interference with the liberties of minorit es.
There was no body of men more anxious to promote temperance than the licensed victuallers of the country, because they knew their very worst was the man who gave way to intemperance. He did not believe that the legislation proposed would have the effect desired, and for that reason he objected to it. (Applause.) The Chairman announced that Mr. Fitzgerald, M.P., was unable to attend, owing to indisposition Mr. T.
Coulson briefly proposed the toast of The Magistrates, coupling with it the name of Dr. Cooper. Dr. Cooper, in responding to the toast, said with regard to licensed victuallers, he supposed he was considered a sort of black sheep among the magistrates. His colleagues on the Bench, whatever their predilection and fancies might he, they were all obedient to common sense, and although they would probably like to see the law altered, the law was too strong for them: they had to obey the law and to 'carry it out, which they did honestly and to the best of their ability.
In their consultations sometimes some of them, when they were in a minority, did not give way as peacefully as thev might. When a gentleman was overruled (Dr. Cooper) was very often in a minoritybut when he was he took it mildly, and did not do as some of them away in a tiff, and refuse to return from the dogken That showed very bad form indeed. He thought it would soon be a question not as to having one magistrate at that dinner, but the difficulty would be to find people who were not magistrates. (Laughter.) If a Bill which had been introduced into Parliament were passed they were to have a sort of elected magistrates.
He believed in elections up to a certain point, but he believed the election of magistrates by the popular rote would be an extremely bad thing for the country. There were some laws which were very distasteful to some gentlemen on the Bench as vaccination. He was surprised that some magistrates of the borough had said that they would not consent to a conviction of a man for not having his child vaccinated. Mr. S.
L- Young, he believed, was the gentleman who said as much, and the Board of Guardians, he thought with extreme bad taste, had consented to postpone the prosecution of vaccination cases in obedience to popular clamour. Of late years the tendency had been to flood the Bench, and they now had two classes of who were made by the Lord Chancellor and those who were magistrates by reason of occupying certain official positions- He thought that was an invidious position, and it seemed to him to bring the administration of the law into contempt. If they once brought in the principle of elected judges, he did not see where thev were to stop. It was far better that the selection of magistrates should be in the hands of a responsible authority. He thought the licensing laws were so strict and so stringent that they should be carried out with the greatest possible caution in the way of evidence.
It was so easy for an honest mistake to be made with regard to a charge, for instance, of a man being drunk on licensed premises. He trusted the day was far distant when the jurisdiction of the magistrates over licences would betaken away he did not think they could get a more satisfactory tribunal. He did not know of any trade which was hedged 'round with such pitfalls and snares as their trade was. Dr. Cooper proceeded to criticise teetotalers, who, he said, attributed every calamity which afflicted the human race to drink.
There was one thing worse than drink, and that was gluttony, and teetotalers made up for what they did not drink by what they ate. He did not agree with them that the majority of cases dealt with in the police court was caused by drink. There had been a startling diminution in crime during the last three years, and the crime which now existed was the crime of cunning, and not the crijjje caused by drink and drunken bouts. Considering the number of publichouses there were in Cambridge, ths very few cases which came before the Magistrates was a remarkable testimony of the manner in which the licensed victuallers in Cambridge conducted their houses. (Applause.) The Chairman proposed the toast of The Cambridge and District Licensed Protection coupling with it the name of its Chairman.
Mr. in responding, said in three years they had increased their number of members to 170, and he urged on those present the necessity of getting fresh members. They were not out of the wood yet. Mr. Pegg 'vice-chairman of the Cambridge Association) proposed the toast of National Trade Defence Mr.
J. J. Dunne responded, and, referring to the general position of the trade, he pointed out that there were now some 8,000,000 in this country than there were in 1871. and 2,000,000 gallons of spirits and (1,000,000 barrels of beer were drunk more than twenty years ago. Yet crime had greatly decreased, although many new offences had been created.
The daily average of prisoners in 1871 was 29,050, in 1891 it was only 18,300. In 1871 there were 131 prisons in the country, now there were only 0(5. There were over a million paupers in 1871, which number in 1891 had decreased to 750,000, and the money in the savings bank had double in the twenty years. These figures, he intended, showed that they were getting more moderate drinkers every day. Dr.
(-OOPER proposed Health of the and urged that a licensed victualler should subordinate his political opinions to the interest of the trade, of himself and his family. Referring to the attack on the Church, he said he was very much surprised at the manner in which some clergymen of the established Church allied themselves with the movement without fairly calculating somewhat of the harm they doing to their parishioners. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman briefly responded. The toast of 41 The was proposed by Mr. Edwards, and acknowledged by Mr.
C. Kent Chronicle). During the evening several gentlemen contributed some songs. The Tablet announces that Leo XIII. has issued a brief severing eleven Welsh countit* from the dioceses to which they now belong, and forming them into a separate Vicariate Apostolic.

Importance of Insuring Valuable prominent proofs of the importance of insuring high-priced horses have been furnished by the experience of the last few weeks. First Mr. Gardiner, of Henhill, Forteviot, had the misfortune to lose his valuable five-year-old Clydesdale stallion, insured for £lOO then Miss Talbot, of Margam, Swansea, lost a valuable Clydesdale Lily of insured for £2OO. Loth these animals were insured with the Imperial Live Stock Insurance Association, of London, and we are informed that the claims for the loss of these animals have been promptly settled by the Association. At the close of the Shire Horse Show, the famous stallion, the property of Mr.
Thos. Charnock, Hale, near Liverpool, which had second honours in his class, took ill and died. This animal also was insured for £B-'K) with the Imperial Live Stock Insurance Association, and the owners claim in this case was also promptly paid within a few days after the claim was sent in. which had first honours in the two-yearold colt class at the Shire Horse Show, was also taken seriously ill. He too was insured with the same Association for Vulcan of Worsley the first prize-winner in the class for age 1 stallions over sixteen hands, at the Shire Horse Show, is also dead.
Such a mortality among prize-winners at the Shire Horse Show is something quite unprecedented. and Review.
