MISS TAYLOR ON HER PARLIA-
MENTARY CANDIDATURE.

On Monday, Miss Helen Taylor, who has con-
sented to contest the North Camberwell Division in
the Radical interest, addressed a meeting at the
Camberwell Radical Club. She said it was exactly
twenty years this spring since her step-father, Mr.
Stuart Mill, was asked to stand for Westminster. It
was with great reluctance that he consented, but he
felt there were questions which he alone was prepared
to bring before the people of England in Parliament.
Among these especially was the question of the
equal rights of men and women. Twenty years later
it was with great surprise that she found a few days
ago a constituency in London willing not only to
carry on the work thus begun, but to go one step
further, and call upon a woman to claim the legal
right possessed by women to sit in Parliament.
There was no need to get the law altered. It
never had been disputed. Forty years ago Mr.
Mill laid down those principles of socialism
which she hoped the people of England would saon
be prepared to carry out. Proceeding to deal with
the questions which ought to be pressed upon the at-
tention of the next Parliament, Miss Taylor said the
first was universal suffrage, which meant the right to the
Toteof every full-grown man and woman unconvicted of
crime. Hitherto women, whatever their intellect or
moral qualities, had been treated as incurable ,idiots
and lunatics. She was convinced, however, that the
men of England, if polled to-morrow, would declare
emphatically that an end must be put to such a state
of things. Radicals who were content with mere
instalments of reform were false to their constituents.
Next there was the question of the payment of
members and of election expenses by the country, as
well as the no less important one of cumulative taxa-
tion. An income of £lOO,OOO a year was enormous
and extravagant. When it came up to that amount
she would not be afraid to say that she would have
the income tax fixed at 19s. in the pound. Moderate
Liberals would call that system not practical; but it
was practical, and was in existence now in some of the
States of Switzerland, and with excellent results.
After referring to local self-government, the land, and
other topics, Miss Taylor concluded by stating that if
thought worthy of taking a share in the political work
of the future she would not shrink from the task, and
would have no fear of the opposition of so-called
Liberals.

DEATH OF DR: w. B. CARPENTER.

Dr. W. B. Carpenter died on Tuesday morning at
his residence in the Regent's-park-road, London,
from the effect of an accident on the previous day.
He was the son of Dr. Lant Carpenter of Bristol,
where he was born in 1813, and where his education
was commenced. After studying at University
College, London, he proceeded to the Univer-
sity of Edinburgh, where he completed his studies,
and graduated as M.D. in 1839, and commenced
practice at Bristol. He soon after resolved to devote
himself to literary and scientific pursuits, and in
1843 removed to London. He became examiner in
physiology and comparative anatomy in the University
of London, and professor of medical jurisprudence in
University College, and in 1856 resigned them on
being apainted Registrar of the University of London.
He contributed largely to various scientific periodicals,
and was the author of several useful works on phy-
siology. In 1861 he was awarded the gold medal of
the Royal Society for his contributions to physio-
logical science. He had a large share in promoting
the Challenger expedition, which has done so much
for science. The University of Edinburgh in 1871
conferred on him the degree of LL.D., and in 1872
he was President of the British Association. At the
last meeting of that association he moved a vote of
thanks to Mr. John Murray, of the Challenger ex-
pedition.

The Armenian communities in both England and
France have taken steps to interest the two Govern.
ments in the claims of Armenia to justice under the
provisions of the Treaty of Berlin. The Armenians in
this country, in a letter addressed to Lord Salisbury on
Nov. 4, express their firm hope "that her Majesty's
Government, which has always shown deep concern
and warm sympathy with the hard lot of the Christian
populations of Armenia, through the non-execution
of the 61st article of the above Treaty, would be pleased
to take such steps in common with the Great Powers
as to ensure its due observance by the Ottoman Porte,
which in the present crisis has been the first to protest
against an infringement of the same Treaty by its own
subjects." This letter is signed by 34 leading
Armenians. A similar document, bearing 40 signatures,
has been presented to M. de Freycinet by a deputation
consisting of six Armenians. M. de Freycinet replied
that he would fitudy the Armenian question so as tq be
ready should the question be brought iforward. His
tone was quite symnathetio.

B RATING OF VOLUNTEER DRILL ITALLFL—AI
the Police Court on Thursday, before N. C. A.
Neville, Esq. Stipendiary a case was brought before
the Bench in which the trustees of the Wordsley
Volunteer Drill Hall were summoned for the pay-
ment of 16s 8d as poor rate made in respect of
the building. Mr. T. Wall (clerk to the Asses-
sment Committee of the Stourbridge Union), with
Mr. Homer. collector, appeared in support of the
summons, and Mr. d. H. Collis on behalf of the
Drill Hall. The case was before the Court a month
ago when Mr. Collis held that the building was
exempt from local and other rates under the Vol-
unteer Act as being a Government store and used
for Government purposes. and the case was then
adjourned, for Mr. Collis to see the Assessment
Commiteee. Mr. Collis now said the Assessment
Committee left it for the Stipendiary to say whether
the building was rateable or not. but the Stipendi-
dary said he could not undertake the task 01
arbitrator, and as Mr. Collis admitted he was the
occupier of the building he made an order for the
payment of the amount in 14 days.

ENGLAND AND EGYPT.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sunday Night.
An Imperial Trade has been issued appointing
Mouktar Pasha Special Ottoman Commissioner in
Egypt, in accordance with the terms of the Anglo-
Turkish Convention negotiated with Sir H. D. Wolff.
No better choice could have been made than this dis-
tinguished General.
CAIRO. Sunaay Night.

The news of Mukhtar Pasha's nomination as Otto-
man Commissioner has given general satisfaction
here. He will start immediately for Egypt, with all
his family, and int( nds hiring a private residence,
having respectfully declined the Khedive's offer of a
palace.
It is high time that he should come, as public
opinion has already begun to doubt the good faith of
the Porte, and the French organ, in a leading article,
has echoed this feeling by saying that the delay in
the nomination of the Ottoman Commissioner has
produced suspicion as to the success of the Anglo-
Turkish Convention, and the forced inaction of Sir
11. Drummond Wolff renders all hopes of a good
result quite illusory.
The French journal was, however, wrong in speak-
ing of Sir H. Drummond Wolff's inaction, as, in
spite of indisposition, he hasteen hard at work for
the last week, preparing the bases of arrangements
to be afterwards worked out with the assistance of
Mulehtar.
Lard Northbrook's project will, I believe, be taken
throughout as the skeleton, and be adopted with small
modifications only on the questions of the army and
the police. This latter department needs urgent at-
tention and energetic help if Baker Pasha is to be held
any longer responsible for the public safety.
For instince, for the last three months the who'e
battalion of the Reserve has been without a superior
officer, though nominations have been approved by the
Council and the salaries voted in the Budget, and
Baker Pasha has written repeatedly to the authori-
ties on the subject, finally, in despair, disclaiming all
responsibility for this body of men unless officers are
given them.
There is no news from Upper Egypt. The general
impression in military circles here is that the mild
scare which has been prevailing for the last three or
four days is a groundless one, the principal reason
for this view being the apparent impossibility of a
rebel advance in force acr&ss thousa.ds of miles of
country deserted by the inhabitants, and affording no
supplies whatever.
The Durham Regiment left at eight this evening
for Assouan, relieving the Berkshire, who in turn
push on to Korosko, the Camercns reinforcing the
advanced posts at Askasheh and Koshay.
(Through Renter's Agency.)
CAIRO, Nov. 8.
The Khedive has received a telegram from Kiamil
Pasha, the Turkish Grand Vizier, informing him that
Ahmed Mouktar Pf;sha, has been appointed Turkish
Commissioner for I *gypt. No date, however, is yet
fixed for his departuce from Constantinople.

MR. A. F. GODSON ON VOLUNTARY

soilooLs.

The same deputation of Catholic gentlemen who
waited upon Mr. J. Brinton, M.P.. on Monday, had
an interview with Mr. Godson, the Conservative
candidate for the borough of Kidderminster, at his
Committee Rooms, Worcester Street, Kiddermin-
stor. on Tuesday night.
The Ray. A. Wheatley, the Catholic priest resid-
ing in Kidderminster, said that their grievance and
the grievance of the managers of voluntary schools
gener.dly was that they had to pay double rates—
that was to say, they had to pay rates for the Board
schools and also contribute to the maintenance of
their own schools Was he (Mr. Godson) thoroughly
in favour of equal rates for the voluntary system
and the Board system?
Mr. Godson:: Yes; as far as that could possibly
be carried out. I don't see why the system applied
to one should not be applied to the other. I should
regret exceedingly the day when we should be re
duced to a system of Board schools only. It would
be a sad day for this country.
In answer to Mr. Marston, another member ef
the deputation, Mr. Godson said most emphatically
that he would not sanction any scheme for taking
the control of the voluntary schools from the pre-
ieut managers and placing it in the hands of School
Boards, as that would mean the abolishing of the

voluntary system.
The deputation thanked Mr. Godson for the can-
dii open expresbion of his views, and then re-
tired,

Board was held on Tuesday at the Town Hail.
Mere were present Mr. Green (chairman), Rev. J.
Kidd (vice-chairman), Rev. V. E Seymour, and J.
\V. Comfort, and Messrs. Leaclbetter and Parry.
A communication from the Todmorden School
Board was considered, asking the Board to join in
cr:easares to procure the appointment of deer s to
School Boards as returning officers in School Bo trd
elections, instead of clerks to the Boards of Guard-
ians. It was referred to the General Pup ses
Committee to consider and report to the Board.
—The report of the Attendance Comnittee showed
the average attendance at the schools to be 84,32 of i
the number on the registers. The Chairman stated
that to relieve the over-pressure on the Stourbrid,,e
Roa:1 Boy s' School an arrangement had been made
itii the managers of the national schools, and the
committee recommended that no boys whose parete
reside north of the Crab .Mill lon bhould for the
present be admitted to that school except those now
on the books. The report was adopted after dis-
cussion, Mr. Leadbetter not agreeing.—A precept
upon the overseers for £7OO, equal to a rate of 4d
in the pound f,,r the half-year, was sealed by the
illoard.—The Rev. A. E. Seymour was elect 'el a

THE TROUBLE WITH BURMA.

A correspondent dating from Promo on Sunday
says :—The steamer from Mandalay which should
bear the answer to the British Ultimatum has
come down. It is reported that she brings an evasive
reply.
(Through Reuter's Agency.)
CALCUTTA, Nov. 7.
Advice.; from Mandalay report that on receipt of
the British Ultimatum the King of Burmah sum-
moned a Council of his Ministers, and on the follow-
ing day consulted the French and Italian Consuls,
who advised him to comply with the British demands.
-King Theebaw also summoned several of his generals
and told them to be in readiness, as they would
probably have some fighting.
It is con3idered in Rangoon that the question of
pr or war now merely depends upon the pronopti-
tit. .ith which the British Expedition is pushed for-
ward, as any delay may tend to confirm the preva-
lent opinion that the British are merely making a
demonstration, as in former days, in which case the
Burmese would be encouraged to assume an attitude
of resistance.
General Prendergast has arrived with two thou-
sand troops, but it is impossible for the Expeditionary
Force to arrive on the frontier by the 11th inst., as
was originally proposed.

The India Office has received a telegram stating
that the whole of the Madras contingent of the expe-
dition to Burmah is now on its way to Rangoon.
Thence, it is understood, the infantry will be con-
veyed by railway to Thuyetmayo, where they will
embark on river barges for conveyance in the direc-
tion of Mandalay. The artillery will embark at
Rangoon with their guns, and be towed up by river
steamers to the British frontier, where they would
arrive in time to co-operate with the main body of
the force.

The Council of the Social Science Association bare

decided to organise a Conference on temperance
legislation, to be held on the eve of the meeting of
the new Parliament. The details of the work have
been referred to the executive committee, with power
to add to their number. The attitude of the Associa-
tion in regard to any reform of the licensing laws
being at present undefined, it is the desire of the
Council that the Conference Committee should be
made fairly representative of the interests of both the
temperance bodies and the trade societies; and by
both parties invitations to join the committee have
been accepted. As at present constituted the corn
mittee consists of the executive committee of the
Association and two delegates from each of the fol-
lowing societies: The Church of England Temperance
Society, the United Kingdom Alliance, the Inde-
pendent Order of Good Templars, the Licensed
Victuallers' Protection Society, and the Country
Brewers' Society. The National Temperance League
have yet to appoint their delegates. A meeting of
the committee has been held at which it was re-
solved that the following should be the questions to
be set down for discussion: First day—" What re-
form in the licensing laws is desirable ?" On this
question representatives of the Church of England
Temperance Society and the Licensed Victuallers'
Protection Society or the Country Brewers'Society will
be invited to select writers of papers. An exponent
of the municipal authority scheme will also give a
paper. Second day: 1—" Is prohibitor: legislation
desirable, and, if so, in what form ?" The United
Kingdom Alliance and the Licensed Victuallers' or
Brewers' Societies will be asked to contribute papers
on this question. 2. "Should compensation be given
on the compulsory extinction of licences, and if so,
from what source r On this question the papers to
be written will be invited from the Licensed Vic-
tuallers' or the Brewers' Societies, from the Church
of England Temperance Society, and from the Inde-
pendent Order of Good Templars. The joint organiz-

MR. STAVELEY HILL. M.P., AT AMBLECOTE,

Mr. A. Staveley Hill. Q.C., LP., tbe Comorva-
tive candidate for the Kingswinfori Division, ad-
dressed a meeting at the Atnblecote Schools, near
Stourbridge, on Tuesday nigh:. The proceedia!,4s
were greatly interfered with by a noisy knet of
Radicals who did all in their power to stop toe
meeting, but were unable to do so. Mr. W, Cor-
bett presided
Mr. Staveley Hill was received will loud cheers
by his friends and with counter manifestations from
the Radicals. Mr. Hill then addressed the meeting
amid considerable interruption, and reiterate,d the
views he has already expressed, especially going
into commercial questions and the state of the
trade of the country. He believed it was to their
interests not to return to power again a party who
made such -promises in 1880 and did not fulfil them.
They were promised in 1880 that the affairs of
the country would become much better throusrh a
change of Government, but were they not worse?
He denied the ..aQsertions that had been made that
he had ever said be was in favour of a duty on
food. He never agreed to a tax being placed upon
food or upon raw tnaterial—(cheers and groans).—
The Rev. J. S. Boldero, vicar of Amblecote, moved
a resolution in favour of Mr. Hill's candidature.
He had never stood on a political platform before,
but in view of what was being agitatrd with regard
to the disestablishrnent of the Church, he thought
it his duty to come forward as a supporter of Mr.
;•itaveley Hill.—M,jor :Walker sec, laded the motion,
whch was carriell by an overwhelming 'majoliiy.

THEEBAW AND THE BRITISH rui-

MATIIM.
A correspondent telegraphing from Rangoon on
Monday, says:
King Theebaw's reply to the British ultimatum
has been received. It is a long document, the trans-
lation of which has not yet been completed.
It can be gathered, however, that its terms are un-
satisfactory and hostile.
Replying to the British demand to control the
foreign relations of Burmah, the King states that he
must first consult Germany, France, and Italy.
In view of the unsatisfactory character of the
Burmese reply, the British expeditionary force will
cross the frontier with the least possible delay. /
Four regiments have
,already proceeded up the
Irawaddy by river steamers.

AN IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT WITH
"WASTE" FOOD.

Mr. Henry Roberts, of the firm of Bertram ana
I...berts, has moved to carry out a most adraira,ble
design. It is, briefly put, to utilise for the poor the
enormous quantities of food which are daily wasted
in the metropolis; and, no doubt, if the scheme is
found to work in London, which there is no reason
to doubt, it will be applied to other large corres.
The only possible objection to the benevolent project
will come from cooks in those establishments where
the system of petty pilfering, which is set down under
the head of perquisites, is allowed; but this is a
question for masters and mistresses. Mr. Roberts,
from forty years' experience as a refreshment con-
tractor, speaks with knowledge, and there is evident
reason in his plea that, with a little care and fore-
thought, the bones and trimmings of mutton chops,
cutlets, together with cold potatoes and other vege-
tables; cold rice, maccaroni, soups, pot trimmings,
tons of cut bread and other wholesome food might be
collected and utilised for the hungry. The plan he
proposes (further details of which may be obtained
from him at Linkwood, Central-Lill, Upper Norwood)
is that a few ladies and gentlemen should, in the first
place, form a committee, and invite subscriptions,
whereby a Permanent Receiving Store might be
formed, with suitable boilers and ovens; for, of
mime it is proposed to dress these scraps and leav-
ings in the most palatable manner possible. The
scheme is taking definite shape. "In order that
strangers to the business of a restaurant may have an
insight into the fearful waste that occurs," Mr.
Roberts writes, "I have made arrangements with a
large establishment in the West-end to take their
trimmings for one day—viz., December Bth; and on
December 9th, these trimmings and lea-rings will be
prepared and exhibited at the forthcoming Cookery
and Food Exhibition to be held at the Royal
Aquarium, Westminster. I shall also endeavour to
make two soups—a meat soup and a vegetable soup
—without having recourse to any ingredient beyond
what is handed to me by the establishment in
question."

STOURBRDIGH "FORWARD" V. DUDLEY RANGERS
F. Crarita.—Favoured by a spell of fine weather,
the meeting of these two Rugby clubs came off on
Saturday last before a moderate attendance of
spectators, and produced a capital encounter which
terminated in a win for Stourbridge by 1 try and 5
touches-down to 1 touch-down. From beginni:lg to
end the match was well-fou;:ht out, not the least
nuticeable feature of it being the splendid efforts
wade on behalf of Steurbridge by "Johnson." Tue

ALLEGED DEFICIENCY IN THE LOCAL BOARD Ac-
COIJNTS.-011 Tuesday a deputation, consisting of
Messrs. S. Cave, J, llingley, C Willetts, W. Wil
lets, W. Williams, J. Fellowes, A. Aston, S. Grove,
T. Lewis, and S. Farley, and others, waited upon
Mr. Floyd. the Government Auditor, at the Public
Offices, with respect to the alleged deficie:,cy in the
accounts. At an adjourned audit of the ace ,unts
the Auditor stated there had been moneys lost to
the district fund of the Rowley Regis Local Board
District, and the amounts were in 'respect of the
making a total of .£1,924 5s 7d. The work was
executed in the years 1875-76-77-78. The Local
Board could not give a definite account as to how ,
the loss had occurred.—Mr. Cave, Mr. Fellowes,
and others stated that from inquiries which had
been institu!ed it had been ascertained that the
Local Board had in reality received more money
from property owners than the amounts specified
in the books.—A. long discussion fellowed, and it
was ultimately decided that further inquiries should
be instituted, and a report submitted to the
Auditor. On Thursday morning the enquiry was
resumed. Several of those present stated from
inquiries which they had made they were convinced
that wore money had been collected than was re
presented in the accr...unts of the Local Board
':slr, Cave stated that the accounts showed that the
epportic,nments paid for the making of Queen s',.
crartley Heath, amounted to £6l. From inquiries
vhich he and others had instituted it had been
a.certained that at least £l2O had been made.—
Ile Auditor said from what he could gather there
was a deficiency of about .£5B, Mr. Cave said he
thought the responsibility ought to be fas'ened up-
on someone connected with the Board.
