India, Cambodia ink 4 pacts, decide to boost defence ties
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Cambodian counterpart Samdech Hun Sen on Saturday held talks to boost ties in key areas of defence, security and counter-terrorism as they called for concerted global efforts to eliminate terrorism, including blocking sources of terrorism financing and dismantling terrorist bases.
After the talks between their prime ministers, the two countries also inked four pacts, including the one to improve cooperation in the prevention and investigation of crimes and legal assistance in criminal matters, besides a line of credit from India to finance Cambodia's Stung Sva Hab water resources development project for $36.92 million (Rs 240 crore).
Expressing satisfaction at the current state of bilateral defence ties, including ship visits and training programmes, the two leaders agreed to further enhance the ties, including through exchanges of senior level defence personnel and capacity building projects.
Both sides expressed a keen interest in enhancing cooperation in maritime domain, including preservation of marine and coastal environment, anti-piracy cooperation, security of sea lanes of communication to maintain peace and ensure safety and security of navigation in the Indo-Pacific Region, and supported complete freedom of navigation and overflight and pacific resolution of maritime issues based on international law.
Addressing a joint press event with the visiting dignitary, Modi said India has also proposed line of credit in several key areas such as health, connectivity and digital connectivity.
Describing terrorism as a 'curse' on humankind which poses a 'grave threat' to global peace, security and stability, the leaders unequivocally condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, underscored that there was no justification whatsoever for acts of terrorism, and recognised that terrorism cannot be and should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilisation or ethnic groups, according to a joint statement.
WATCH: India is committed to its bilateral relations with Cambodia, says PM
Reaffirming their solidarity and resolve to fight terrorism, the two leaders affirmed that those responsible for committing, abetting, organising and supporting terrorist acts must be held accountable and be punished.
They called for joint and concerted global efforts to eliminate terrorism in all its forms and manifestations in accordance with the principles of international law.
"They called upon all nations to adopt a comprehensive approach in combating terrorism, which should include countering radicalisation, recruitment, movement of terrorists including foreign terrorist fighters; blocking sources of financing terrorism including through organised crimes, money-laundering, supply of weapons of mass destruction, drug trafficking and other criminal activities; dismantling terrorist bases, and countering misuse of the Internet including social media and information and communication technologies by terrorist entities," it said.
The two sides also emphasised the central and vital role of the UN in fighting terrorism and recognised that the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy is a unique global instrument that will enhance national, regional and international efforts to counter terrorism, while calling for swift and effective implementation of relevant UNSC resolutions to combat terrorism worldwide.
"In this connection, they also agreed to work together and with the international community in building a new global resolve and strategy for combating terrorism, in preventing financing of terrorist networks and terrorist acts and denying terrorists safe haven and called for an early adoption of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT)," the statement said.
The two leaders also emphasised the responsibility of all states to prevent financing of terrorist networks and terrorist acts from their territories, and safe havens and agreed that terrorism cannot be used as an instrument of state policy for furthering narrow political objectives, in an apparent reference to Pakistan.
The joint statement, however, did not name Pakistan.
They strongly condemned violence perpetrated by all terrorist groups and called for all nations to work for designation of all terrorist groups under relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council.
On economic front, the two leaders agreed on an early signing of a bilateral investment treaty between the two countries.
They noted with satisfaction the progress in regional connectivity efforts such as the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway and agreed to explore the possibility of extending the highway further to Cambodia and beyond.
The statement said both leaders agreed to have scheduled services operated by designated airlines of respective countries in the near future and supported the expansion of the air traffic rights and civil aviation arrangements to facilitate the people-to-people contacts and promote tourism between the two countries.

Home Unlabelled The State of Child Marriage in the US
The State of Child Marriage in the US
Photo by: Getty Images / CBS News
The portrayal of child marriages is usually seen an issue in the developing nations. One cannot wrap their mind around the fact, that this very act would be a problem in the United States, and it is acceptable and legal under certain parameters. Many Americans tend to think that the issue of child marriage is a practice that infiltrated the US through immigration. However, this is not the case as even with immigration taking place in the 1910's and 1920's, white children born of US parents were still married off as minors.
The fight against child marriages in the US dates back to the mid-19th century. Women Rights Activists such as Elizabeth Oakes Smith and Elizabeth Cady Stanton noted that child marriages are great lifelong mistakes that deprived young girls the opportunity to develop into womanhood and have some semblance of independence before getting married.
Compared to other parts of the world although child marriages are less common in the US, but are still in existence. A research by Pew reveals that 34 states in the US allow 16 and 17-year-olds to get married with parental permission. While eight US states enable 15-year-olds or younger to marry if they are pregnant or have given birth as reported by the Star.
An alarming report from Girls not Brides revealed that 248,000 children were married off between the year 2000 and 2010 most of them to adult men. More disturbing is that some of the children as young as ten years were married off in the US-based on conservative religious beliefs, accounts of rape ordeals and early pregnancy with a parental and judicial consent granted. Although the US government explicitly states that, a minor is anyone under the age of 18. Most states have set the minimum marriage age at 18 years. Except for Nebraska and Mississippi states that have set the marriage age at 19 and 21 respectively. However, exceptions are there in all states that allow minors to get married. While certain states like Alabama have state legislatures, where the minimum age at which one can marry is 16 years. Despite, most states have increased the marriage age, but still there is a loophole as most of the states are yet to set a minimum age of 18 with no exceptions law.
A report from Child International 2015 noted that children in poor and rural settings are more prone to early marriages as compared to their peers from wealthier backgrounds and those that live in the urban areas. Early marriage although deemed as a means of solving problems such as rape ordeals or teen pregnancies but often it results into more problems such as domestic violence, a life of poverty, lack of education and serious complications during pregnancy. Some of the states, which have reported high numbers of child marriages, are West Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Nevada, and California.
Divorce is no option for minors who opt for it, proving to be a challenge for most of them. Thus, forcing many of them to stay in these marriages. As minors are legally incapable of filling for divorce, setting up home alone due to financial constraints or seeking support services independently as they may need to be in the company of an adult. While most of them may not have privy of the existence of such services or are under duress to speak up.
There have been debates in the political spear on whether to ban early marriages. With the conservative religious and libertarians arguing that marriage should be a personal choice and the state should interfere. They maintain that child marriages reduce the number of single mothers on welfare and that religious beliefs and customs ought to persevere.
Despite the raging debates, the US government has been on the forefront to end child marriages in the US. With states such as Delaware spearheading the move, as it recently became the first state to ban child marriages entirely. Other states such as the Mid-Western state of Missouri, which is famed as wedding hotspot for child brides, have also moved a step forward to ban marriage for anyone under the age of 16. However, the push to ban child marriages has proved not easy. The state of New Jersey recently had its bid to ban child marriage thwarted after following a last-minute religious objection to passing the bill. Other states that have the bill to outlaw child marriages pending include California, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, Texas and Pennsylvania.

Posted October 21, 2013 by Martina Mcauley & filed under Current Items Country: New Zealand.
I have some news about the Celtic/Maori music collaboration project. There was the possibility of a suitable group of musicians, with Irish band members, but Toi Maori told me that it's only possible to work with New Zealand-based musicians. It would have been great to bring in some Celtic musicians from Galicia, Scotland, Ireland and maybe Brittany, to achieve the high standard of music required for the project. Restricting the criteria like this though is limiting the reach, but that's the way it's going to have to be. This is because of the budget but more so because they say they want do something different, for it to have the look of a New Zealand based band and for it to be sustainable. There are possibilities of working with some really good New Zealand-based musicians and it might mean adjusting a few things with the "possible band" but both parties still have to discuss this strategy. I'll keep you posted on some of the progress on it.
There isn't a fulltime role available in the project so I decided that my best option is to look for something else. It's a shame but hey, the experience of it all has been great. I've learned a lot and made some great contacts that I might not have made, or made so quickly, if I wasn't working on the project. So onwards & upwards I say. I'll have to keep looking for jobs.
One thing I've learned in my job search process, even in Amsterdam, is to keep applying for several jobs at the same time. Keep looking for other possibilities. One strategy that a friend of mine told me about is to target the industry and companies that I want to work in and try to get face-to-face meetings with the hiring managers, asking them for just ten minutes of their time to network with them, at least for the start of the process. I'm a bit behind on that now because I lost a bit of time with doing the research for the project but I'll put everything into it from now on.
Tourism is a hard industry to aim for, as most of the jobs are seasonal. So if I get a job for six months in tourism, when that job is finished, I have to have another job and another work visa straight afterwards, otherwise I have to leave the country. There are permanent tourism jobs out there but what I'm coming across is that most employers are turned off by the fact that I don't have a work visa. I have to convince them though that it is possible. Persistence is what's going to be needed and having the drive to go forward and keep pushing. I have plenty of that in me.

What's in the name
Libreswan has its roots all the way back to The FreeS/WAN Project which was started by John Gilmore in the late nineties. When the FreeS/WAN Project came to an end, it was continued by the people who worked on it under the name Openswan. A legal dispute about the trademark and ownership of the name lead to the creation of The Libreswan Project. See History.
There are two parts to setting up IPsec based VPN tunnels:
Internet Key Exchange protocol
The IKE protocol is used by two end point systems to authenticate each other and agree to setup an IPsec tunnel for a specific network range using specific crypto parameters. Libreswan implements an IKE daemon ins a program called pluto.
IPsec protocol
The IPsec protocol is the actual specification of this agreed policy for the system (usually maintained by the operating system kernel). For the Linux operating system, there are two choices for an IPsec implementation, the default builtin NETKEY (aka XFRM) IPsec stack, or the libreswan native KLIPS IPsec stack. See KLIPS vs NETKEY for a detailed discussion on which stack you should use, but as a rule of thumb, NETKEY is the preferred stack for full fledged Linux systems, while KLIPS is the preferred stack for embedded systems with crypto hardware acceleration cards.
If libreswan is running, you can issue "ipsec version" to see which IPsec stack you are using

Hi Jay – just curious to see what brokerage account you use? Completely a newbie, so wanted to use which brokerage firm that cost savers generally use? Especially when one trades non-US stocks. Thank you!
I primary trading using Schwab Global for foreign stocks, but also use Vanguard, which is more pricey but works well. I got used to Schwab for the most part and their customer service is excellent.
Lots of people like Interactive Brokers, so you might want to check that out too.
Thank you – appreciate it, Jay!
Jay – you had a post a few weeks ago where you said that turnkeys were the biggest mistake you made. Explanation was only a paragraph though!
You brought up that your returns would never be good as year1. Deferred maintenence is painful. But that's why you allocate 5-10% to repairs, right?
I'm in the process of researching memphis invest.
Turnkeys are not enough juice for the squeeze… I personally won't ever go that route again.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the block characteristics and adverse effects of using different doses of spinal plain levobupivacaine combined with S-ketamine and clonidine during cesarean section. Patients and methods This prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial was conducted on 120 female patients scheduled for elective cesarean section. Patients were randomly assigned into three equal groups: group I received 10 mg of levobupivacaine 0.5% along with 12.5 mg of S-ketamine and 25 μg of clonidine intrathecally; group II received 7.5 mg of levobupivacaine 0.5% along with 12.5 mg of S-ketamine and 25 μg of clonidine intrathecally; and group III received 5 mg of levobupivacaine 0.5% intrathecally along with 12.5 mg S-ketamine and 25 μg clonidine. Hemodynamic parameters, the onset of the sensory block, the level of the sensory blockade, duration of the sensory block, the motor blockade and duration of the motor blockade, the quality of intraoperative analgesia, and the occurrence of side effects were recorded. Results Comparison of onset and duration of sensory block did not reveal any signifi cant differences among the groups. Duration of motor blockade and the time to fi rst analgesic request was signifi cantly longer in group I than in groups II and III, and it was signifi cantly longer in group II than in group III. The incidence of intraoperative nausea, vomiting, pruritus, and shivering was comparable in all groups. As regards hypotension, there was a signifi cant reduction in its incidence in group III compared with groups I and II. As regards bradycardia, there was a signifi cant reduction in its incidence with decreasing dose of levobupivacaine (group III showed the least incidence). Conclusion Spinal anesthesia using small doses of levobupivacaine with a combination of S-ketamine and clonidine was effective in cesarean section both intraoperatively and postoperatively with less adverse effects.


For the Bhutanese, these goals are connected with the state of the natural resources that surround their existence. Frank Dixon, of Innovest Strategic Value Advisors, New York, a leading evaluator of corporate social responsibility, says, "Bhutan's interest in developing a gnh index reflects great wisdom".
In fact, Bhutan had drawn the interest of the world to the concept by hosting the first international conference on gnh in early 2004. Ronald Colman of Genuine Progress Index-Atlantic, Canada, a pioneer and leader in quality of life research, says, "It is certainly not a fairy tale. It is a real development strategy." Proponents of gnh strongly believe it is a more accurate measure of social well-being than gnp . As Dixon underlines, "It probably is no coincidence that Western economies are rapidly degrading environmental life support systems, making many unhappy. What doesn't get measured doesn't get managed." Bhutan, which adopted the gnh in the 1980s, has had a fair amount of success so far in meeting some development goals (such as education), but in other areas, like land reform and food productivity, problems continue. However, it is at least on track to resolve these issues. Last month, Bhutan's king, Jigme Singye Wangchuk, talked of the urgent need to address employment issues. The current Five Year Plan also accords priority to infrastructure development, but balancing existing environmental conservation policies with emerging socio-economic needs is a challenge. The focus on gnh, which makes ecological regeneration the axis for development, is reflective of this.
Like Bhutan, India also needs to look beyond western notions of development and success. Our eastern neighbour, whose king was the principal guest at the recent Republic Day celebrations in New Delhi, has shown us the way.

At the UA, tools designed to tackle tomorrow's challenges, such as scanning alien planets for signs of life, begin as chunks of glistening glass tucked inside a cardboard box. And now five mirror segments have been cast for the Giant Magellan Telescope.
With the casting of its fifth giant mirror segment at the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab at the University of Arizona, the world's largest telescope clears a major milestone toward completion.
Sporting a flowerlike primary mirror design of six circular segments surrounding a seventh in the center, the Giant Magellan Telescope, or GMT, will provide astronomers with a one-of-a-kind tool to answer some of the most fundamental questions about the cosmos and our place within, including searching for signatures of biological activity on planets outside our solar system.
While its mirror segments are being produced (including a spare to be rotated into the mix during maintenance), construction of the facility that will house the telescope is underway at Las Campanas Observatory in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. The GMT is one of only two projected next-generation instruments commonly referred to as extremely large telescopes that will be able to observe the entire southern skies.
With its unique configuration of seven honeycomb mirror segments, each spanning 27.5 feet, the GMT's light-gathering capability will be unprecedented.
"Now, with the casting of the fifth mirror, the GMT truly starts to take shape as a giant telescope," said Laird Close, professor of astronomy at the UA's Steward Observatory, where the giant mirrors are being manufactured. "We already have the glass for mirror number six. It's amazing to think that we're almost done building the telescope in terms of the glass."
Close explained that at near-infrared wavelengths, the GMT is designed to make images 10 times sharper and 100 times quicker than the Hubble Space Telescope. This would become possible through an adaptive optics system, which counteracts the blurring of the images caused by turbulence in the atmosphere along the path of light from astronomical sources to the telescope.
Like other mirrors produced by the RFC Mirror Lab, the GMT mirrors are made so that their front surface forms a paraboloid. A paraboloid is the shape taken on by water in a bucket when the bucket is spun around its axis; the water rises up the walls of the bucket while a depression forms in the center.
However, the GMT's unique off-axis design requires the shape of its outer mirror segments to be asymmetric in profile, so that all mirror segments together assemble into one giant paraboloid mirror. At the time when the mirror lab, which is managed by the UA's Steward Observatory, embarked to produce the first mirror for the GMT, fabricating a mirror with those specifications was widely deemed next to impossible. Led by the lab's founder and director, UA Regents' Professor Roger Angel, technicians and engineers perfected the process of producing the world's largest, yet lightest, telescope mirrors in a process called spin casting.
Four semi trucks delivered the raw material that would become GMT5 to the mirror lab underneath the University's football stadium. Workers unloaded 68 transport crates containing 1,632 cardboard boxes, each holding 25 pounds of pristine blocks of custom-manufactured glass from the Ohara Corp. of Japan. Over the weeks that followed, each chunk was handled and inspected to make sure no foreign matter had made it into the irregularly shaped, brilliantly translucent blocks.
On Oct. 23, technicians spent the better part of a workday lying on their bellies on a platform, reaching down and carefully placing each glass chunk inside the furnace's base, creating a sparkling pond of jagged glass in the process.
Once the glass was in place and the working platform lifted away, a crane lowered the lid — fire-engine red, as is the rest of the giant oven — and mirror lab staff prepared the furnace for the casting process. Over much of the next two months, the furnace will spin at just under five revolutions per minute, while a technological marvel forms inside.
Heating up the glass takes about a week, according to Jeff Kingsley, associate director of Steward Observatory, who expects the furnace to reach its peak temperature of 1,165 degrees Celsius, or 2,129 degrees Fahrenheit, on Nov. 4. Three days later, his team will bring the temperature down to 700 degrees Celsius, or 1,290 degrees Fahrenheit, slow the rotation speed and begin the annealing process, which will extend to the end of December.
"We then go to a period of very, very slow cool-down to room temperature," Kingsley said. "At the end of January, we'll open the lid, take the sides off the furnace, remove the band and tub walls, and reveal the casting."
The unique fabrication process resulting in a lightweight honeycomb glass structure is the key to the success of mirrors created at the mirror lab. Not only are these mirrors so light they could float in water, but they are very stiff and quickly adjust to changes in nighttime air temperature, each resulting in sharper images.
Every mirror that came out of the mirror lab was cast in this furnace, which was built in 1984 and is the only one of its kind. The rotation ensures that the glass starts out close to the desired parabolic shape. A total of 270 heaters inside the furnace ensure the glass is heated evenly throughout.
Set to begin science operations in 2023, the GMT will take advantage of the clear dark skies of the Atacama Desert, where almost no water vapor in the atmosphere impedes the view into the night.
At 360 square meters, or about 3,900 square feet, the GMT's seven mirrors combine to form an area just a bit smaller than a basketball court.
The telescope will allow astronomers to answer some of the most pressing questions about the cosmos, including the detection, imaging and characterization of planets orbiting other stars; the nature of dark matter and dark energy; the physics of black holes; and how stars and galaxies evolved during the earliest phases of the universe.
Astronomers looking to take the next giant leap with the crop of giant telescopes are eagerly awaiting the completion of the GMT.
One of the most interesting things that the GMT could do, according to Close, is to find life on another world, such as the recently discovered, rocky planet orbiting our closest neighboring star, Proxima Centauri.
"Imaging the planet next to its star is like looking at two dimes side by side from a hundred miles away," Close said, "but with GMT and adaptive optics, you could easily resolve the two."
In such a scenario, scientists would equip the giant telescope with a coronagraph, a device that blocks the light from the star so as to make it possible to detect the light from the planet, which is millions of times fainter. With suitable instruments that can identify the different light signatures of chemical elements and compounds, they could then scan the planet for so-called bio signatures such as the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere.
The UA's Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab is the only facility in the world capable of manufacturing the seven giant mirrors that combined will form the 25-meter (82-foot) diameter primary mirror of the Giant Magellan Telescope. The GMT Organization's contracts with the UA to fabricate the mirrors are anticipated to total $200 million, providing a major economic impact on jobs and expenditures in Arizona.
Coordinated through the GMTO, the partners in the GMT project are Astronomy Australia Ltd., the Australian National University, the Carnegie Institution for Science, Harvard University, the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), the Smithsonian Institution, Texas A&M University, the University of Arizona, the University of Chicago and the University of Texas, Austin.


The Highveld and Swaziland Youth Unit theme for the year 2009 is taken from the book of Eziekeil 22:30 "We need young people to stand in the gap before God". This theme reminds us that our main objective that is to bring unity and healing to the people of God.
The Highveld and Swaziland Youth Unit has encouraged and supported district and regional conventions and revivals.
The executive committee has ensured that all youth unit events / programmes have praise and worship, bible study sessions / discussions that will encourage spiritual upliftment and development.
We have motivated young people to learn more about Christian Life through bible study.
We want to plant the early seed of gospel in the Children's Ministry through praise and worship and bible study.
We are seeking new youthful and exciting ways to learn more about the bible and Christian life (e.g. Sport's Ministry).
We have educated and trained the young people about HIV/AIDS and how it affects us as a nation. We have discussed the A – abstinence B – be faithful and C – condomsing.
We have invited to professionals to talk, advise and test the young people in the church.
The Youth Unit encourages the young people to abstain and be faithful, we provide training where needed and we also encourage young people to test regularly.
The Highveld and Swaziland district has started on Youth Economic projects that will assist in household income so that young people can live healthy lives.
We want young people to know their status and test on regular basis.
The Highveld and Swaziland Youth Unit have been involved in a number of projects in the regions: school uniforms donated to child headed families in the Far East Region, Eastern Gauteng Region had a blanket drive during and after the Xenophobic attacks and the Swaziland region started a gardening project KaNgwane to feed the families in that area.
The Youth Unit is assisting financially to make the projects a success.
We intend on growing the projects so that more people benefit from them. We would like the projects to be sustainable.
On the 8th – 10th May 2009, the Highveld and Swaziland Youth Unit held their Children's Ministry Indaba at the Emseni Conference Centre in Benoni. We spoke about a lot of things such as: age groups, the syllabus, learning through playing and "Being a Spiritual Director".
A working committee was established that will work closely with the Children's Ministry Superintended.
We have quarterly Children's ministry training / workshops in the regions that will help us to be more effective in work as Spiritual Directors.
We intend on having more workshops that we will helps in different styles of teaching.
The Wesley Guild has also been the strongest organ in the Highveld and Swaziland district but now we have established a committee that will focus on Children's Ministry. We have found Methsoc committee members and we have been communicating with them on how we can contribute to help and build the youth at the tertiary institutes.
We had established youth unit executives in the circuits so that we can be closer to them and know what is happening in our circuits. The circuit executives will give feedback on what is happening in their circuits regarding the youth and Children Ministry.
Meetings with the Vaal and Swaziland Methsoc have been arranged and we looking forward to working with them in the future.
The Wesley Guild is operating perfectly.
The Wesley Guild has annual district convention and regions also have their own conventions.
Communication structure: Society – Circuits – Regions – District and visa verse.
We have established a working committee that will focus on the children, the committee all regions are represented.
Communication Structure: District Superintended communicates with regional superintendeds who will filter the communiqué to the circuits and societies and visa verse.
The executive committee will be meeting with Methsoc Swaziland later in June. This will be our first meeting with Methsoc ever since we can into office, from the meeting we hope to establish a better working relationship with them.
Communication Structure: Not established yet.
We hope to find out more about the youth forums from the circuit reports, circuit reports will be submitted to the secretary of the youth unit later on in the year.

Q: Point Visual Studio at TFS on another domain Is there a way for our development team to point Visual Studio at an instance of TFS on another domain?
Pretty green when it comes to Team Foundation Server and not sure if this should go in the overflow that handles IT admin stuff (from my understanding stackoverflow is more code related).
We just got bought by another company and they want us to use their TFS that resides on their domain. We are working on getting to one domain, but in the mean time we still have two separate domains that talk enough to get by.

A: Just as Daniel said, just make sure there is a trust relationship between the domains.
Generally if you can access the TFS that resides on another domain with you current domain user, then everything should be OK.
More information please see Trusts and Forests Considerations for Team Foundation Server and Grant the Allowed to Authenticate permission on computers in the trusting domain or forest for details.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 29TH.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 29TH. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. Davitt asked whether the Foreign Office had had its attention drawn to the need of some other currency than,that of gin in the delta of the Niger, and whether missionaries and others were now compelled, by the character of this intoxicating currency, to promote the demoralisation of the people which resulted from the use of that medium of ex- change. Mr. Curzon said it was not correct to speak of gin as the currency, still less as the sole currency of the Nigger. It was one of several articles that "ware taken in barter by the natives., So far from there being any compul- sion or willingness to promote the demoralisa- tion of the people, the tax upon gin had lately been doubled, while it was heavily taxed in the proportions of the delta administered by the Niger Company, and was altogether pro- hibited in their inland territories. Mr. Ritchie, replying to Mr. T. G. Bowlgs, said he was aware of the views of the Merchant Service Guild and other bodies against the enforcement of the new rules relating to the prevention of collisions at sea, but he was not prepared to depart in any way from the posi- tion taken up by the Government. Answering Mr. P. Stanhope, Mr. A. i- Balfour said the financial scheme of the Irnper ial Ottoman Bank for raising a new Turkish loan, and the proposed guarantee in connection with the loan by the European Powers, had not come before the Government in an official shape. If it should do so, it would be consider- ed by them in conjunction with the other Powers. Sir G. Baden-Pewell asked what steps were being taken to enable the colonies and depen- dencies to cake an official park in the celebra- tion of the sixtieth year of the Queen's reign. Mr. Chamberlain said that, with the approval of the Queen, he had invited the Premiers of all self-governing colonies to come to this country, as the guests of the country, to take part in the celebration It was proposed that detachments representing the military forces of the colonies should also come, and an endeavour would be made to secure represen- tatives of the Imperial forces from the Crown Colonies. The debate was resumed on Mr. Maclean's amendment to the proposal to reappoint the South African Committee, to the effect that, in view of the peaceful settlement of affairs in the Chartered Company's territories, the punish- ment of all persons connected with the raid into the Transvaal, and the inexpediency of re- opening questions which had been disposed of, it was unnecessary to reappoint a Committee Mr. Chamberlain, replying to the speeches of the mover and seconder of the amendment, said his policy had always been GO do every- thing in his power to allay the feelings of race animosity in South Africa and to promote those good relations between the Dutch and the English without which the peace and prosperity of the country were absolutely impossible. The situation had not been improved by the recent legislation of the Transvaal Govern- ment. In his opiniospsome of theprovisions of that legislation were undoubtedly contrary to the London convention, and if that legislation was enforced undoubtedly a situation would be created which would require all our prudence, all our impartiality, and all our patience. With regard to the reforms asked for on behalf of the Outlanders, President Kruger had ovei and over again promised to give favourable consideration to the friendly representations which might be made by the British Govern- ment and to the respectful requests of the majority of the population of the Transvaal. Those friendly representations and those re- spectful requests had not been wanting, but up to the present time, the response of President Kruger and, the Transvaal Government had been, to say the least of it, inadequate. After describing the difficult and delicate task the Committee would have to discharge, Mr. Cham- berlain said the Government could not, without failing in honour, retire from their promise to appoint a Committee. After a brief speech by Sir William Harcourt, Mr. Maclean withdrew his amendment, and the Committee was then appointed. The rule as to the conduct of supply which was passed last session was again adopted, and the House went into Committee on the Army Supplementary Estimates. The only vote put was orIJ for £ 252,000 for capitation grants and miscellaneous charges for the volunteer forces. Mr. Knox moved the reduction of the vote by 920,000, which, he said, was approximately Ireland's contribution. The amendment was rejected by 127 votes to 23, and the vote was then agreed to. Mr. Brodrick, in moving a resolution with regard to the Military Works Bill, subsequen- tly explained the programme of national de- fence which the Government had drawn up. Amongst other things, it was proposed to pur- chase ground for manoeuvres on Salisbury Plain, to expend £ 500,000 on rifle ranges for volunteers, to rebuild many of the barracks, to erect forts at ports and coaling stations, and to fortify Bereliaven, Lough Swilly, the Scilly Island, and Falmouth for the purpose of pro- tecting our trade with America. The resolution was agreed to.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST. HOUSE OF LORDS. The Companies Bill and the Women's Fran- chise Bill were each read a first time. Lord ONSLOW, in answering questions from Lord Kinnaird, made a statement upon Indian famine relief. Acting on previous experience, the Indian Government would not sell or store grain so long as private traders were able to satisfy the necessities of the people. The Government recognised the duty to intervene in exceptional cases: but they believed that, these cases apart, the requirements of the situation could be met by the action of private traders. On no former occasion had the Government been in such a favourable position to deal with distress, owing to the wise foresight of those who laid down the Famine Code. Lord WENLOCK (a former Governor of r Madras) remarked that previous experience showed that any interference with private trhde was likely to do more harm than good. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. CHAPLIN, in reply to Mr. Drage, said he had carefully considered the report of the Departmental Committee on Poor-law schools, and had decided to make certain changes. Those changes he intended to carry out by means of an order of the Local Government Board, instead of an Act of Parliament. It was proposed to create a central body for Lon- t don, which would be responsible for the charge of certain classes of children; for example, those suffering from ophthalmia and skin disea- ses, those requiring special treatment during convalescence, those whose intellects were de- fective and who were physically weak, and those who were at present remanded to work houses by justices before being sent to indus- trial schools. Provision of a special character would be made, and it could be made by one authority acting for the whole ot London at less cost than would be entailed by each district making separate provision. Mr. BRODRICK stated, in answer to Mr. t;ibk, that the cause of the disaster to the troopship Warren Hastings was not yet known. Mr. LONG, in reply to Dr. Farquharson, said I it would be necessary for the whole subject of dog muzzling to be further considered in the light of the report of the Committee, which had been sitting for some time past fco inquire into the working of the laws relating to dogs. He understood that the Committee proposed that a petermined effort should be made to rid the country of rabies. He thought the owners of dogs, and the public generally, would support any well-considered scheme which promised to secure the complete extermination of rabies in this island, a result never likely to be secured under the existing system. Mr. G. BALFOUR, in reply to Mr. J. O'Con- nor, announced that the Government had no intention of introducing a bill for the local government of Ireland this session. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, answering Mr. Hogan, said that in the event of the Premiers of the self-governing colonies accepting the invitation to participate in the celebration of the sixtieth year of Her Majesty's reign, the question of holding an Imperial Conference for the discus- sion of matters of common colonial concern would be taken into consideration. Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, answering Mr. M'Hngh, said he did not think it was advisable to add anything to what he said in the debate the other night on the subject of the establishment of a Catholic Universityfin Ireland. The House then went into Committee on the resolution dealing with a proposed grant in aid to fcheiVolur tary schools. Mr. BALFOUR said the Government pro posed to confine their bill to three questions- relieving the Voluntary schools from the pres- sure of rates; dealing with the 17s. 6d. limit; and the distribution of the aid grant. They proposed to put Voluntary schools by a simple enactment into the position occupied by scien- tific and learned institutions, and say that they should not be liable for rates at all. The second provision of the bill was that which relieved elementary day schools from the 17s. 6d. limit. That provision, and that provision alone, ex- tended beyond the province of the Voluntary schools, and included within its scope Board schools also. With regard to the aid grant, and its mode of distribution, the grant would be 5s. per scholar, instead of 4s., as provided in the bill of last year: and its distribution would be in the hands of the Education Department. To ask that Department, however, to do that un- aided would be to ask it to do too much; and they, therefore, proposed to encoarage the f8r- mation of associations of Voluntary schools, which should have the right to advise the De- partment how the money could best be expen- ded. His hopes for the beneficial working of the bill largely depended on the manner in which those interested in Voluntary schools used the power of associaiion given them in the measure. Mr. ACLAND, who followed, said there was nothing in Mr. Balfour's speech that appeared to give any assurance that a good deal of this money would not be wasted by simply going to make good a reduction of subscriptions. The Government had had a great opportunity. They had a great surplus last year, and they would have a great surplus this year. They had an immense majority in the House and on many points, they had to face a not unreasonable Opposition. With all those advantages, and without any limit of time to hold them back, it was a matter of profound regret that they had tabled such a measure, and had selected such a method of putting the measure before the House. Mr. COURTNEY said the Government's proposal was only defensible if it was admitted to be a temporary measure. Had it been re- stricted to the financial year, under some gua- rantee that it would be balanced by a further measure dealing with the Board schools, it would have been well supported but if it came with- out such a guarantee in its present naked de- j formity, there were forces at work in the mass of the people which would be hostile to the per- manence of such a settlement. In J8 course of the debate, which was ad- journed at midnight, the Government proposals were condemned by several Liberal Unionist members; and one or two Conservative mem- bers also protested against the character of the scheme.
.. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND. HOUSE OF LORDS. The House sat for a few minutes on Tuesday. Seven peers were selected to act on a Joint Committee on Statute Law Revision Bills and Consolidation Bills and, on the motion of the Duke of Norfolk, the Post-office Consolidation -Bill was read a first time. TUESDAY,'FEBRUARY 2ND. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir M. WHITE RIDLEY, answering Sir C. Diike, said his attention had been drawn to the strike of girls engaged in the textile trade at Belfast against the long lists of large fines re- cently placarded in the mills. It was hoped that the matter would be settled by mutual agree- ment; but if not, it might be necessary to have recourse to proceedings under the Truck Act of last session, which, for the first time, gave the workpeople full protection against all unfair and unreasonable fines. Mr. G. BALFOUR, replying to Mr. M'Hugh, said he had no means of exercising influence on the Irish landlords to enduce them, in conse- quence of the fall in agricultural values in Ireland, to give abatements of rent to their tenants. In reply to a further question, he said he had no option as to permitting the employment of the forces of the Crown in carrying out evic- tions in cases where abatements were refused, and where tenants were unable to enter the Court, in order to have their rents fixed. He added that during the past year, the number of evictions in Ireland had been fewer than in any year since 1877. The HOME SECRETARY informed Mr. Schwann that he had not yet come to any de- cision with regard to the case of J. Hall, who was sentenced at the Manchester Autumn Assi- zes to three years' imprisonment for the man- slaughter of his wife. Sir J. GORST, in replying to Mr. Yoxall, said he had seen, with very great regret, the statement that at the public elementary school of St. Andrew's, Willesden, two certificated mistresses and an assistant teacher had received notice of dismissal from the chairman of the managers of the school, because they declined to sign a memorandum of agreement, by the terms of which they would have been bound to be regular communicants and attendflnts at St. Andrew's Church: that increase of salary was withheld from a certificated assistant master, on the ground that he did not attend that par. ticular church; and that finally, he was dismis- sed, because he did not so attend. The Com- mittee- of Council, however, had no power to interfere. Sir J. KINLOCII asked for an assurance that an equivalent grant would be given to Scotland I in proportion to that proposed to be given to the English Voluntary schools. Sir M. HICKS-BEACH said the Government did not think that the system of equivalent grants was properly applicable under the pro- posed bill. If the bill should become law, no doubt fair aid would be given to primary edu- cation in Scotland, in such a manner as might be statable to its requirements. Mr. BRYCE asked on-what terms this aid would be calulated. Sir M. HICKS-BEACH said he imagined that any proposals of the kind could nob be intro- duced until it was seen what the result might be of the bill shortly to be introduced. Mr. BRODRICK, replying to Mr. W. J. Gal- loway, said the Hulme Barracks were, at pre- sent, occupied by infantry, who had been there since last autumn. No immediate change was in con templation. Mr. A. J. BALFOUR stated, in answer to Mr. Morton, that on Friday night, the business in Committee of Supply would be the considera- tion of the grant in aid in connection with the Egyptian expedition. Mr. RITCHIE, answering Mr. J. Lowther, said the letter written by Mr. G. Rowley, the local labour correspondent of the Board of Trade at Bfcthesda, to a Wejsh paper, in which he spoke of his career as a trade unionist, and attributed his selection as labour correspondent to the influence of several Welsh members, was an improper letter; and Mr. Rowley had been asked for an explanation. Mr. BALFOUR moved that the order for Committee on the aid grant to Voluntary schools should take precedence of the notices of motion and orders of the day. Mr. J. ELLIS and Mr. LABOUCHERE op- posed the motion and Mr. E. LAWRENCE, who occupied the first position, with a notice of motion on the subject of the provision of piers and harbours, protested strongly against the proposal to deprive members at the very begin- ning of a session of their right to ventilate grievances in which their constituents were interested. Sir W. HARCOURT joined in the protest, remarking that if this resolution were passed, consequences with reference to the Board schools of the country would take place which would exclude the House from considering the claims put forward on their behalf. That was the reason why there should be no hurry; and he protested against any attempt to force through the House a resolution of that conclu- sive character, without giving ample time to the country to know what was the policy of the Government in this respect, and to express an opinion upon it. Mr. BALFOUR said he dissented entirely from the proposition that there was no reason for proceeding promptly wiuh the bill: in the first place, because it was very important in he interests of Voluntary schools that the bill should become law at the earliest possible mo- ment and secondly, because if an inordinate time was occupied w:th the proposal to relieve Voluntary schools, it would be impossible for the Government to proceed with their other scheme for the relief of necessitous Board schools. After some further debate, he moved the clo- sure, which was carried by 259 votes to 143; and his resolution, on a further division, was carried by 283 votes to 123. The House, afterwards, went into Committee, and resumed he consideration of the resolution proposed by Mr. Balfour on Monday night. Mr. E. GRAY, concluding the speech he be- gan on Monday, expressed his disappointment that the proposal of the Government would not come into force at the end of the present finan- cial year. Sir W. HART DYKE admitted that the pro- blem before the Government had been made more acute by the events of last year. A feel- ing of bitterness was then created; and some- how, grave alarm was created in the ranks of the Opposition, lest the Government should, some day, attempt at one fell swoop to destroy the Board school system. As a supporter of Voluntary schools, he had never failed to recog- nise the great educational efforts of the Board schools: and he felt that his friends would never forward the cause of the Voluntary schools by attempting to disparage the work done by the Board schools. He looked upon the present proposal, however, as an honest endeavour to carrv out a pledge given not only in the coun- try, but to the House: and admitted that the Government could not refuse to deal with the necessitous Board schools at an early date. Sir H. H. FOWLER said that if Mr. Balfour would simply strike out the word Voluntary,' and substitute for it the word 'elementary,' then the whole question could be debated with- out his bill being altered. If the right hon. gentleman would not agree to that, he had no right to complain if the Opposition insisted upon debating the bill four or five nights. The SOLICITOR GENERAL, in reply, said the Government had every intention of helping the Board schools at as early a date as possible; and the method for carrying that out had been under consideration for some time. Sir A. ROLLIT, associating himself with some of his friends, in criticising the proposals of the Government, said those proposals recom- mended themselves least to liiyn- because they dealt differentially with Voluntary and Board schools. So far from redressing inequality, the proposals created a new and greater inequality. Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE subsequently pro- posed an amendment, restricting the grant to 'necessitous' Voluntary schools. Mr. LOUGH seconded the awendment, which, after brief speeches by Mr. ASQUITH, Mr. BALFOUR, and Sir W. HARCOURT, was defeated: and the closure of the general debate having been moved by Mr. Balfour, the Government resolution was carried by a majo- rity of 215. -<Q
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD. T T 1,Sl -.9 HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. FAITHFULL BEGG moved the second reading of the Parliamentary Franchise (Ex- tension to Women) Bill. Mr. ATHERLEY JONES seconded, and said that what they sought to obtain was, a de- claration of the House for or against women's suffrage, leaving questions as to the scope and extent of qualifications to be dealt with, if the bill passed, in Committee. Mr RADCLIFFE COOKE moved the rejec- tion of the bill, on the ground that there was no demand for it, and that'the men, who made and maintained the State, ought to govern it. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the vast majo- rity of women felt, and clearly recognised that they were not fit, and did not wish to govern. If the bill were passed, the logical outcome of it must be, that they would ultimately have to give the vote to every woman. Sir W. LAWSON and Professor JEBB hav- ing spoken in favour of the bill, Sir W. HARCOURT said he should not like to give a silent vote but he should confine his remarks to a single point, the numerical rela- tion between bhe two sexes. There were, in this country, 1,290,000 more women than men and this bill amounted, practically, to an appeal for the enfranchisement of the majority. It would be a very fundamental change in the constitution of the country to establish it upon an Amazonian basis, or a popular womanhood majority. Mr. COURTNEY having supported the bill, the closure was moved, and adopted by 214 votes to 170. The second reading of the bill was then car- ried by 228 votes to 157; and the House ad- journed. -D"I-

THE RESIGNATION OF A WELSH MEMBER. THE announcement that Mr. David Eandell, the member for the Gower division of Gla- morganshire, is about to apply forthwith for the Chiltern Hundreds, in order to become a candidate for certain public offices at Llan- eily, will not come as a surprise to those who know at what sacrifice Mr. Randell has performed his Parliamentary duties. Mr. Randeil is a solicitor in good practice at Llanelly. He has acted for years as solicitor to the Tinplaters' Union of South Wales, and when a vacancy occurred in the repre- sentation of the Gower division by the death of Mr. Yeo, the constituency, which ;s largely composed of workers in the tinplate indus- try, fell to Mr. Randeil. His special know- ledge of industrial questions has secured for him a respectful hearing in the House, while his sympathy with labour has not dimin- ished his loyalty to the cause of Liberalism. He has outlived the opposition that was at one time felt to his candidature among the leading Liberals in hissconstifctrency, and he was returned at the last election by a few votes short of 4,000. His seat is an abso- lutely safe one to the Liberals, though his sudden resignation finds the Liberal party unprepared with a candidate. There are several eligible local men who would worth- ily represent the constituency in Parlia ment, and it is not likely that with excellent local material the Liberal Association will repeat the old policy of selecting an out- sider.

DENBIGHSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL. The quarterly meeting of the Council was held at the Coun.ty Buildings, Wrexham, on Friday, when the following members were present:—Sir W. W. Wynne (in the chair), Mr. O. Isgoed Jones (vice-chairman), Messrs. J. W. Lumley, Thomas Gee, Evan Roberts, William Jones, P. E. Story, Wm. Thomas, R. E. Graesser, Thomas Ingham, A. Foulkes, Edward Hooson, Samuel Moss,W. E. Samuel, W. Trevor Parkins, C. K. Benson, Captain Griffith-Boscawen, J. Roberts (Plas Heaton Farm), T. A. Wynne Edwards, Simon Jones, J. R. Burton, Steele L. Roberts, W. G. Rigby, David Roberts, Henry Rawson Wil- liams, Thomas Morris, Carstairs Jones, Col. Mainwaring, F. E. Rooper, R. LT. V. Kyrke, B. Harrison, E. Lloyd Jones, W. Charles Hughes, Edwin Bellis, John Harrop, F. W. Soames, Henry Dennis, and Sir Robert Egerton, with the clerk (Mr. LI. Adams), and the other officials. ABSENT MEMBERS. Apologies were received from the follow- ing gentlemen:—Dr. J. R. Jenkins, Messrs. Richard Jones, R. M. Biddulph, W. G. Dodd, Hugh Holland, William Williams, J. H. Darby. James Sparrow, and W. D. W. Griffith. THE QUESTION OF INCREASING SALARIES. A COMPARISON BETWEEN WREXHAM AND DENBIGH DISTRICT. Mr. W. E. Samuel, in moving the adop- tion of the report of the Main Roads, Weights and Measures, and Diseases of Animals Act Committee for the Wrex- ham District, said that the Committee had decided to recommend to the Council that the salary of Mr. Noah Price as inspector of weights and measures be increased from £100 to S130 lper annum. No doubt many members present were of opinion that the two inspectors of weights and measures—Mr. Price for the Wrexham, and Mr. Clarke Jones for the Denbigh Dis- trict should receive equal salaries, but having regard to the work done by the two officers, this plan would be an unjust one. The amount of fees collected in the Denbigh District for a certain period came to £261, whereas in the Wrexham District for the same period the amount was £688, leaving a balance in favour of the Wrexham officer of £ 457. This conclusively proved that more work was done in the Wrexham District than in that of Denbigh. Mr. Price was a most efficient officer, and the committee hoped that the Council would see its way to give him a fair salary. Sir R. E. Egerton seconded the motion. Mr. Pryce E. Story said he rose to propose an amendment-- Mr. Lumley: I rise, sir, to a point of order. I should like to know whether the Finance Committee, sitting as such, have a right to deal with a question of salary, or whether, when dealing with such a question, they ought not to sit as a separate com- mittee and resolve themselves into a Salaries committee. The Chairman I do not quite see what this has to do with the adoption of the Main Roads and Weights and Measures Com- mittee's reports. Mr. Lumley: It naturally arises in con- nection with the proposed increase of salary. Such a recommendation must be submitted to this Council from the Salaries Committee before it can be entertained, and I should like to know whether the Finance Com mittee ought not to have sat as a Salaries Committee in considering the question? The Chairman: The Main Roads Com- mittee is the Salaries Committee. Mr. Story: No, it is the Finance Com- mittee. The Chairman: The Salaries Committee and the Finance Committee are therefore the same. Mr. Lumley: That is my point sir, and the Finance Committee being the Salaries Committee, it is a question whether, when dealing with a matter of salary the Finance Committe should sit as a Salaries Com- mittee, and not as a Finance Committee. The Chairman said he did not see that! anything could be gained by discussing this point. The same gentlemen formed both committees, and they took the business as placed on the agenda. Mr. Lumley: Very well sir, if that is your ruling. Mr. Story I rise again to move an amend- ment to the committee's report, and that is that this recommendation to increase the salary of the inspector be referred back for reconsideration. I object to the increase for want of justification. I submit there is no justification whatever for advancing this officer's salary. He was appointed to the office at a salary of £100 per annum, and since his appointment we have agreed to pay all his expenses, and he not only gets £25 for his ordinary expenses, but all his extra expenses are paid as well. These facts he does not put down in his applica- tion. It was also agreed that the officer should give the whole of his time to the dis charge of his duties, but I hear now that the ground upon which he bases his applica- tion is, that he has lately been outside the county stamping glass and earthenware. I cannot help thinking that it is a great mis- take on our part to allow our officers to go out of the county to do work in other coun- ties. These officers were appointed to do their work in Denbigshire, and in my opin- ion they ought not to be called upon to do work of any kind in the adjoining counties. If the manufacturers of those counties re- quire their glass to be stamped, they should bring it to the officer's office at Wrexham for the purpose. Only a few months ago, we had a similar application from this officer for an increase of salary, and although I do not want to damage his position in any way, yet, I think it is a great presumption on'his part to make these continuous appli- cations for an increase of salary. He was not the only man amongst the applicants, capable of doing the duties of his office, and if the post becomes vacant to-morrow, we will have scores of applications from persons willing to undertake the work for a salary of zcioo and their expenses paid, without pes- tering this Council to increase that amount as this officer does. I ask. the Council to reject this proposal; I ask the members for the Denbigh District to vote against it, and also those not present at the committee when it was decided to make this recom- mendation. Mr. John Roberts (Henllan), in seconding the amendment said Mr Samuel, in propo- sing the adoption of the report, gave them the fees received by the officer in the dis- charge of his duties, but took care not to mention the expenses incurred by him, which was a matter of great importance in connection with this question. In one quar- ter Mr. Price earned about £ 70 in fees, but his expenses for that time amounted to over £50, leaving a balance of X-io. For the same quarter, the inspector for the Denbigh Dis- trict earned X40 in fees, the expenses being £ 23| so that the difference in the actual u- receipts 1 was only X5. It had been said that the W exham inspector did more work than the otliaer for the Denbigh District, but if j the number of scales, &c., stamped in both ends u the county were compared,, they would fiuu that there was but a very trifling difference between the two districts. On these grounds, he (Mr. Roberts), could not vote in favour of the increase. Mr. Simon Jones in giving the reasons that led the committee to make the recom- mendation, claimed that he was as careful and economical as any member of the Council in dealing with the question of salary, but it was pointed out to him that there had been a considerable increase of work for the officer, and he thought it but reasonable to take the salary of the officer into account. Since Mr. Noah Price had been appointed, glass stamping had been added to his other duties, and that entailed a great deal of extra labour. Mr. John Roberts. What about the ex- penses in connection with this ? Mr. Simon Jones replied that when the stamping machine was purchased, it was not expected that the work would be so great, and the fees earned were considerable. One large glass dealer who sold glass in the county required stamping to be done, and it was more economical for the officer to go out of the county for the purpose, and to do the work were the glass stood. By doing this he earned £ 16 in addition (hear, hear). The increase of salary was based entirely on increase of work not. contemplated when the officer was appointed. Mr. Wynne Edwards said he did not think the County Council should call upon its officers to work too cheaply, at the same time he did not think that this officer should be paid more than was necessary. Within the last few weeks, the County Council of Carnarvon had advertised for an officer to perform the same duties as Mr. Price. The salary offered was Sloo per annum, and there were over 90 applicants for the office. And if the County Council of Denbigh parted wit"- the services of this officer, he had no doubt but that they would receive the same number of applications. He did not wish to say one word against the way Mr. Price did his work, but to raise his salary without doing the same with the in spector of the Denbigh District would be a great injustice. It would be remembered that the Council advertised for two inspec- tors, and the names of Mr. Clarke Jones and Mr. Noah Price i,, c'-e chosen. At the time Mr. Clarke Jones was qualified, but Mr. Price was not. For some time Mr. Clarke Jones was asked, to act as a locum tenens for Mr. Price, and if Mr. Jones had chosen to apply for the Wrexham District, he would no doubt have had it. Therefore, he did not think it right to increase the salary of Mr. Price, and not to give Mr.. Clarke Jones an equal advance. Moreover, he believed that all applications for advance of salaries should be made direct to the Salaries Com- mittee and not to the Main Roads Com- mittee for a certain end of the county (hear, hear). Mr. Rooper said a man should be paid according to the amount of work done by him, and the responsibility of his post. Mr. Price had a much more important district than that of Denbigh. Mr. Samuel Moss hoped that the Council would sanction the increase. The work of the officers should be taken into considera- tion when the salaries were under discus- sion. It was true the two officers were ap- pointed at an equal salary, but having re- gard to the increase of the work in the Wrexham District, he did not think that there should be any doubt but that the work of Mr. Price was much heavier than that of Mr. Clarke Jones for the Denbigh District. He was of the same opinion as Mr. Lumley on the other question, viz., that the Finance Committee should sit as a-Salaries Commit- tee when considering any question affecting the salaries of their officers. Mr. Thomas Gee expressed a hope that the Council would not grant the increase. In the first place he failed to see that the Denbigh end of the lounty had any oppor- tunity of considering this question in con- nection with the salary of their officer, and when they had two officers doing the same duties, any question affecting their salaries should be dealt with by the Committee, so that the whole matter, in all its aspects, should be considered, and considered also in connection with both ends of the county (hear, hear). He had not one, word to say against the way Mr. Price had discharged his duties. He had no doubt but that he was an admirable officer, at the same time, he did not think it right for him in making his application, to compare his salary to that paid to other officers. The question should be dealt with on its merits (hear, hear). Let the work speak for itself, but as there were two officers doing the same duties in the county, any question affecting their salaries should be referred to the Salaries Committee, because they would in that case, have an opportunity of weighing all the facts. With reference to Mr. Moss" argument, they had heard a great deal about the increase of population in the Wrexham end of the county, but he failed to see how this might be a reason for the increase of salaries. However, it seemed to him that the members for the Wrexham end of the county never took into consideration the amount of travel and travelling expenses incurred by the officer of the other end of the county. He felt sure that they might with justice place the extent of the Denbigh Dis- trict, and the inconvenience of travel against the increase of population and work in the Wrexham District. He would sup- port the amendment with a view of throw- ing the matter back to the Salaries Com- mittee, and he hoped the Council would accept it. With regard to the quescion of glass stamping, it had not yet been carried out in the Denbigh District, but if the work was commenced, no doubt Mr. Clarke Jones would be able to earn the same fees as Mr. Price. Sir Robert Egerton said that the Finance Committee was drawn from both ends of the county, and the subject had therefore been considered by gentlemen representing the two districts. It had been suggested by some speakers that the recommer, Cia, "ion emanated from gentlemen representing the Wrexham end only, but that was not the case. Mr. Lumley said he wished to ask Sir Robert Egerton for an explanation. Was the Council to understand that the applica- tion for an increase of salary emanated from Mr. Price himself, or whether the com- mittee suggested that he should make the application ? Sir Robert Egerton Might I explain- The Chairman: No, I do not think you should do so.. Mr. E. Lloyd Jones said the recommenda- tion of the committee was not arrived at unanimously, and he was strongly^ of opin- ion that this officer was well paid (hear, hear). If it was vacated by Mr. Price, they wouid have plenty of applicants, for the post and equally good ones to Mr. Price. Mr. Evan Roberts Sir Robert Egerton stated that the question was considered by members from both ends of the county at the Finance Committee, but ha found that only two gentlemen from the Denbigh Dis- trict were present on the occasion. Mr. Moss Why, may I ask ? Mr. Evan Roberts There was an Asylum Committee held the same day, and on that account the Denbigh end of the county was not fairly represented. Mr. Lumley: I should like to a,sk the clerk whether it is competent for any mem- I ber of this Council to vote on this question 1 ~— who is an interested party, and who Col." under the control of Mr. Price in connect with the stamping of weights and ^i,easit &c. (loud laughter). ,■ The Clerk Any member having a d'ect pecuniary interest in the matter is pre- cluded—— Mr. Lumley Hear, hear. The Clerk: But a member may have such an indirect interest that he ought not to be disqualified. Mr. Story: I call for open voting on the question. Mr. Moss I have had some experience in this Council, and I am not aware that we have up to the present, taken a secret vote on any question. Mr. Story: No one knows better than Mr. Moss what open voting means. A vote was then taken, when 25 voted in favour of the amendment, and 40 against. Mr. Story's amendment was therefore lost. THE CHAIRMAN AND MR. LUMLEY. m- A BREEZE. Some little time having elapsed before any member rose, The Chairman proceeded to put the motion for the adoption of fche report before the meet- ing, when Mr. John Roberts (Henllan) rose to propose an amendment. The Chairman (sternly): You are too late, sir. Mr. John Roberts: But I have an amend- ment. The Chairman Order order. You are too late, and you cannot move it Mr. Lumley I rise to a point of order, sir. I wish to know whether under standing order 34, a member is at liberty to discuss any amendment or report submitted for confirma- tion here. The Chairman: Not after the chairman had put the question, and plenty of time allowed before that. Mr. Lumley: By what standing order does the chairman rule that it is not competent for the council to discuss questions submitted here for its consideration from a committee? The Chairman By standing order 24. Colonel Mainwaring: The report now under consideration is a very long one, and I would suggest sir, that more time should be given to the members of the council to think out, and prepare their amendments. The Chairman I gave plenty of time, and if any member- Mr. Lumley I beg to ask sir The Chairman (warmly) Order, order. Mr. Lumley I challenge your ruling, sir. Several Members Chair, chair. Mr. Lumley I say again, that I challenge the chairman's ruling. If he is going to gag a discussion like this, I object to his ruling- Mr. Gee Hear, hear. Mr. Moss also said that more time should have been given by the chairman, and tha,t he should allow members to discuss it even after giving his ruling in the way he had done. The Chairman replied that he would on the present occasion withdraw his ruling (hear, hear)—but would in future strictly enforce it. Mr, John Roberts then called attention to the committee's recommendation with reference to Glantanat 1st Bridge. The District Sur- veyors had been requested to inspect the bridge, and the two reported to the same com- mittee. One estimated the cost ntE-90, whereas the other gave the amount at £450. The reports were very conflicting, and he should like to know first of all, whether anything could be done to avoid the expenditure of £1,000 recommended by the County Surveyor for the erection of a new bridge. Mr. Simon Jones said it was reported by both surveyors that the bridge was not worth repairing, and that a new bridge was urgently required there. The £90 was the estimate for the filling up of the pool wifch gravel placed in bags, and had nothing to do with the bridge itself. 6 Mr. Gee said the District Surveyor estimated the cost at f450, whereas the County Surveyor put it down at £ 90. Mr. Simon Jones No, no, that is not the case. Mr. Lumley: Mr. Gee is quite right. The reports of the two surveyors as to what is required agree in the main. But the County Surveyor who states that lie has, had great experience with regard to this bridge, only recommends the spending of £ 90. Several Members No, no. Mr. Lumley Pardon me. Let me finish my statement. The District Surveyor, after inspecting this bridge, suggests a different; treatment, and he escimates the cost at £ 450. The County Surveyor gives you an alternative scheme, and I should like to ask whether it was the great difference between the two estimates that caused all the trouble with regard to this matter. I support the amend- ment proposed by Mr. John Roberts, viz. timt the matter be referred back to the committee, and that they should appoint a subcommittee to go with the two surveyors, and to see for themselves whether the work can be done for 990, or whether a new bridge is really re- quired. I The Chairman I am afraid you are wander- ing, sir. Mr. Roberts did not propose any amendment, he merely asked for an explanation on the difference between the two estimates. Mr. Roberts I did mention my amendment and I have it now in my hand. The Chairman You must have written it afterwards then. You simply asked for an explanation. Mr. Roberts then formally moved that the portion of the report referring to Glantanat Bridge be referred back that a subcommittee be appointed to see the bridge, and to consider whether the suggestion of the surveyor with regard to the safety of the bridge cannot be carried out. After further discussion, the amendment was agreed to without a division. STEAM ROLLERS AND THEIR LICENSES. Mr. Evan Roberts said he noticed from the Wrexham surveyor's report that a Steam Roller, belonging to fche Great Western Rail- way Company had been used for some days in the district, for which no license had been taken out. He wished to know whether a Rteam roller was a locomotive under the Act, and if that was so. he would have to ask the clerk to apply to the company for the license fee.. The Chairman replied that a steam roller was a locomotive under the Act, bat he thought it would be unwise for the Council to stop the roads being rolled by these engines when there were no steam rollers within the county. Mr. Wynne Edwards said there were at least two steam rollers in the county, and if they licensed one, they should license the whole. Mr. Rooper said the Great Western roller was used entirely for the benefit of the County. Mr. Moss appealed to Mr. Roberts to with- draw his motion, which was done. The reports of the Main Roads Committee together with the other reports already enu- merated were then adopted, subject to the am- endments passed. MAIN ROADS COMMITTED OF THE DENBIGH DISTRICT. THE SWINE FEVEE ORDER. Mr. John Roberts proposed, and Mr. Lumley seconded the adoption of the report of the Main Roads Committee for the Denbigh Dis- trict, which also included the reports of the Weights and Measures, and the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act Committees. Colonel Mainwaring called attention to the swine fever order now in force in the County, and said a great deal of complaints were made owing to this restriction. Only a few cases had been reported and those existed in, the eastern portion of the county only. He should like to ask the clerk whether it was possible to get the western division separated from the eastern for the purpose of this act. The clerk in reply read a letter he had received on the subject from the Board of
