THREE LITTLE WELSH GIRLS.
Advance Agents for Revivalist Rob-
erts-Strange Power.
ondence Of The Star.


LONDON, June 3, 1905.
Even Roberts, the Welsh revivalist, has
announced his intention of coming to Lon
don in the autumn. The actual date has
not yet been fixed but he will probably be
here some time in September.
Meanwhile three little Welsh girls, still in
their teens-Miss Maggie Davies, Miss
Mary Davies and Miss Annie Jones-are
here. They announce that they have come
to pave the way for him. They We're close
ly associated with Roberts in the recent
eruption of religious fervor in Wales. Mag
gle was the sweet singer of the Welsh re-
vival, Mary was one of his first converts,
and all three are his chosen apostles and
friends. The three little maids wear black
picture hats and bright summer bouses,
and, incredible though 1t may seem, the
girls have gained a strange power over the
audiences in south and east London which
they have been asked to address by the
Welsh clergymen of London.
Similarly, matter of course they tell
inquirers that they have come to save Lon
don, and that for this they have left home
and friends. Though this is the first time
any of the girls has been away from home,
they do not appear to wish to do any sight
seeing, and visit to the TorreyAlexander
mission is the only relaxation they will per-
nit themselves
During their short stay in London con-
verts have poured In thick and fast as a re-
suit of the girls appeal. There seems to
be fire about the Welsh in London, even
greater than in Wales explained Mary
Davies. I'VE have had meetings in London
filled with the real fire, fifty people praying
at the same time for their salvation.
Yes Mary went on, sometimes feel
very homesick and lonely. l have left my
father and mother and brothers In Wales,
but l cannot rest at home. l must go on
doing the work 1 have been called upon
to do

MOTORS IN ENGLISH SERVICE.
Great Success of the New Power in
England.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, June g. 1905.
The extraordinary success of the motor
omnibus is shown by the Fact that since
April l the Vanguard omnibuses which
ply between Brondesbury and the law
courts have carried over quarter of a
million passengers.
The service this route is at present
q twelve-minute one, but when the full
complement Of twenty-five thirty omni-
buses Is reached there Will be a three or
four-minute service and the company will
then decide on another route and another
name for the new omnibuses
The London and District Motor Bus
Company expect to place their first vehicles
on the streets toward the end of July.
The new motor cab company will prob
ably be known as the Motor Cab (Panhard-
Levassor) Company, Limited, and the ques-
ton of the adoption of the taxameter will
be decided on later.
In spite Of the opposition TO the taxame-
ter on the part of the cabmens traue
union, experts declare that 1t is bound to
come.
The continental firms engaged in making
the chassis for motor omnibuses and cabs
are working at high pressure. The Durkepp
Company. who already employ 5000 hands,
have taken on another 600 men.
There is at present a great air OF mys-
terry in regard to the doings of the Motor
Car Emporium Company, Limited. of Ad-
olson road. who have ordered ITO motor
omnibuses from the De Dion Bouton Com
pany.
1t is learned that the Motor Emporium
Company will have no fewer than 900 me-
tor omnibuses of various types to dispose of
this year 1t Is believed that the rush to
build the vehicles is only a part of big
scheme in which the horsed omnibus COM
/ panies are interested.
In nearly every case the bodies Of the
new motor omnibuses are being made in

GLASGOW, June 3, 1905
There is the greatest indignation here be-
cause of the action of the London county
council in blacklisting the poems of Robert
Burns. The decision of the London county
council in this matter is everywhere de-
clared to be IAN insult to Scotland"
If the decision of the education commit
tee is approved by the council ITSELF" said
leading Scottish literary critic in an in
terview here today, 1T will stamp them as
most egregiously fussy body, and show
that they are quite unfit to control the edu-
cation of thousands of London children"
Among publishers the committees whole
sale rejection of well-known works has
caused the utmost surprise. Some of. the
Scottish critics are advising a retaliatory
boycott and urging the authorities of the
cities of Scotland to take similar action
against some of the famous authors who

IN THEFRENCH CAPITAL
PROJECT OF TUNNEL BETWEEN
ENGLAND AND FRANCE REVIVED.
Presence in Paris Of Empress Eugene
Recalls Interesting Letter-Loop-
ing-the-Loop Peril.


Special Correspondence of The Star
PARIS, June 3, 1905.
The project of a tunnel between England
and France under the channel has been re-
vived. This time the proposition appears
to have substantial railway backing. 1t
was really seriously discussed at a confer
ence held here between the administrators
eastern and Chatham Railway companies.
Opinions as to the feasibility of the plans
were expressed, it being added that the
time was approaching when the prejudice
against it which exists in England Last
disappear.
The objections have been chiefly from
naval and military authorities, who have
expressed the idea that such project as
the channel tunnel would have a tendency
to do away with the isolation of England
an isolation which is regarded as source
of great strength from military and naval
point of view. Those who favor the con-
structon of the tunnel urge that it is abb
surd to argue along these lines, since,
should the government Of Great Britain de-
sire it, the explosion of a few pounds OF
dynamite in the tunnel would render the
isolation Of England as complete as at the
present time.
Indeed, an invading army from the CONT
nent would be mad indeed to attempt a
dash through the channel since it never
could tell what hour an English engineer
might explode mine, with the result that
the invading hosts would be in a predica-
ment even worse than the hosts of Pharaoh
at the time of the passage of the Red sea
by the Israelites.

The perils of looping the loop in a
motor car were illustrated by some remark
able revelations made at the magisterial In
curry regarding Mile. Randel, the young
woman who died from shock recently after
attempting the performance at the Casino
de Paris. Before her first attempt to loop
the loop in motor car was made expert
ments were tried with dummy figures In
the car. They were decapitated in nearly
every case. Then a pig was placed in the
car and sent around the circle. The animal
severely injured that it had to be
slaughtered.
The first time Mile. RandeI looped the
loop she tainted. She pluckily attempted 1t
again. and again she tainted. A doctor told
her that she was undertaking highly dan
gerous performance, which would eventual
ly kill her by causing a tremendous rush of
blood to the head and he predicted that
She would not survive ten performances
Mile. Randel kept up her performances
for some time, despite the terrible strain on
her nerves. But she died after the twenty
ninth. The managers of the house and the
managers of the exhibit were prosecuted for
allowing the performance.

Law Ought to Be Amended.

Chancellor P N Smith offered resolu-
tons TO the effect that the. English mar
rage law ought TO be so amended as to
preclude the remarrage In the church of
any party to divorce during the life
time of the other party, except only re-
marriage with the consent of the bishop of
the diocese and the incumbent of the
parish where the other party has been di-
vorced on account of his or her misconduct.
The Rev. c. B. Thornton speaking against
a prospective amendment to preclude the
remarriage of any party to a divorce, cited
the case of innocent young bride of
eighteen. She was forced" he said, into
marriage at this early age with a wealthy
sutton He had good birth to recommend
hIm-more shame to him,-and money, but
was a man of the lowest moral percep-
ton.
After his marriage he proved himself a
monster of iniquity, and the law mercifully
liberated the young woman from this man
Is it conceivable that this woman, still
young and as innocent as regards moral
guilt as on the bridal morn, is to be urged
to remain single, waiting for the re-
pentance of her husband? Against this
man let the church doors be barred; but
is this young woman to be told that any
fresh marriage must be entered into at
registry Office
The Rev Canon Pennefather, D. D, of
ST Marys Abbots, Kensington. urged that
the church ought to refuse to remarly
either party to a divorce, and proposed an
amendment to that effect.
"A young Wife" he said, might be led
astray Is the husband to shut the door
against the repentance of that wife? How
often has the door been left open, repent
ance been shown, forgiveness granted and
reconciliation effected?'
The amendment was carried by l69 votes
to a. and was subsequently adopted by the
conference substantive motion.

DECISION ON DIVORCE
Action of Diocesan Conference
Threatens Trouble
FOR ENGLISH CHURCH
PROMISES ALSO TO BE FRUITFUL
OF MUCH DIsSENSIoN.
Controversy Over the Marriage Law
and Remarriage of Divorced Per-
sons-Other London Notes.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON. June g. 1905.
The decision of the London diocesan con-
ference that no divorced person, whether
guilty or innocent, shall be remarked in an
Anglican church during the lifetime OF the
other party to the suit threatens to bring
the Church of England into direct conflict
with the state. 1t also threatens to be
fruitful of dissensions within the church
itself. and to be a powerful weapon in the
hands Of the party on disestablishment.
Rev. Prebendary Villers, in an interview
upon the subject, said:
The one question for churchmen is:
What is the law of the Church of Eng
land?
ION this subject Sir W. Phillimore once
gave expression to an important opinion to
the English Church Union in the following
words: The law of the Church Of England
must be the law of the Church of the West
When did the Church of England part with
the canon law Of the Church of the Nest?'
And there is no reason to doubt what
that law is-namely, that marriage Is in
dissoluble.
This opinion is amply confirmed by some
important resolutions which were passed on
January 2S, 1897, by the lower house of
convocation.
They further state that there is no evil
dence to show that from the time of the
Norman conquest there has ever been any
serious contention in England that the law
of the English church embodied any recog-
milton of divorce "a vinculo.' properly so
called, or of remarriage after such divorce
LAS things are now a second marriage is
purchasable by divorce, and divorce Is pur-
chasable by misconduct, and thus a man
is able to profit by his own wrong.
ION several occasions l have refused the
use of this church for such marriage. So
long as l am vicar of ST. Pauls, Knights
bridge, this church will never be used for
the remarriage of either the guilty or the
innocent party in a divorce suit"
The bishop of London having brought this
matter of the remarriage of divorced per-
sons up at the opening of the London d.
ocesan conference it figured TO a greater or
a less extent throughout the entire confer
ence.

r. W. II. Crosland has just issued book
entitled The Wicked Life" in which he
administers a tremendous castlgation to the
people whom he regards among the
wickedest of the wicked.
Roughly speaking" says Mr.. Crosland,
English society divides Itself into four
great classes, namely. the aristocracy, the
middle class the working class and the
undluted lower class. And of these four
classes two are desperately wicked and two
are not. The aristocracy, as all men know
are virtuous and honorable; the working
class are also virtuous and honora BILE
The middle class are vicious and dis
honorable, and the lower class, as a body,
suffer from precisely the same complaint.
OF course we not concerned TO assert
that to be either middle class or INDECENT is
necessarily TO be wicked, no more than to
be highly placed or a laborer in a saw
pit is necessarily to be virtuous But,
roughly speaking, that Is what 1t amounts
to-"
The writer then develops the main propo-
sitions in his theme along the following
line
