The. session of the admiralty court opened 'at the court house on Thurs. day evening, at cight Justice Hodgins = presiding. It been expect that the court would have opened on Thursday afternoon, but Francis King, who was acting in one of the cases, also had 1 case before the spring assizes which was not corn- pleted until evening. The caso of John A. Macfarlane, ain and feed merchant, ve, Fallon Jros., contractors, for damages amon) a. to $685, was the first on the d Franeis King, who was appearing on behali of Mr. Maciarlane, raised objection to any evidemce on behalf -of the defence being taken on the grounds that T. J. Rigney, who was acting for the defendants, had failed to file certain necessary papers. The judge allowed the evidence on behalf of the defence to be given un-| der protest, .with a possibility of it | te} i thy, being thrown out at a later date. Only two witnesses for the defence had been heard before an adjournment was made until 9.30 o'clock on Friday mening. aclarlane is seeking damages for the loss of forty toms of hay, which he claimed was lost as a result of the mud scow, owned by Fallon Bros., plugging a hole in the scow day Boy while she was tied at the C.P.R. wharf' on November 10th, and sinking. the: scow Hay Boy with the full cargo. He claims damages amonnting to' $500 for the loss ol the hoy, and 3185 to cover the damage done to the scow, which is owned by Ur mt Pyke, of kingston, formérly of Woe Island. J. A. Macfarlane' was the first wit- c{ness called. He told of engaging the scow Hay Boy to carry the hay from Wolfe Island to Kingston. Forty tons valued at $650 had hee loaded on the Soow. When the scow arrived at the C.P.R. wharf on Nov. 9th it was tied next to the mud scow owned by Fallon Bros, The hay was to have been shipped on Monday morning following the accident. A. bout two o'clock on Monday wmorn- ingl Nov. 10th, Mr. Maclarlane was cphled to the wharf. When he ar- rived he found that the scow owned by Fallon Bros. had broken loose and was banging a hole in the end of Hay Boy. Seeing the great danger he immediatdly went to his brother's home for the purpose of getting ropes. When he arrived back he and his brother were Yn the act of plac-! ng the ropes on the Hay Boy when she sank to. the bottom, carrying her full cargo. The following Mon- "day mortiing he was able to recover about $100 worth of hay, which was tloating around the harbor, but the rest was a total loss. It cost $10 to haul the hay out of the water, which would mean tht he was a loser to the extent of $500. The scow belongibg to Fallon Bros: drifted for a while and Tater went to- 'pieces. Cross-exanrined "by Mr, * Rigney, Mr. Macfarlane stated that the wa- ter was about eight feet deep where the scow sank. The weather was blowing at the time; lost Grant Pyke, the owner of the scow, stated that he did not know wheth- er or not Fallon Bros. owned the scow but he had towed it for them on a number of ocoasions, He fig- ured his damage at $185. The hole in the scow has not, yet been fived. E. H. Pense, engineer &n charge of the construction of thy mew catise- way across the Cataragni river, swore that the scow which-did the damage to the Hay Boy. was the property of the public works department of the dominion of Canada, but was fn the hands of Fallon Bros. He had nsk- ed Mr. Fallon to make some repairs to the scow and then return it to where he got it, but this was not done. Capt. F. HT. Mitchell, who was in charge of the: schooner: Katia Hccles, which, was tied at the wharf the night of the accident, testified that he got up at twelve, o'clock that night and he noticed that the ud scot. had broken loose and was banging into the Hay Boy. He tele phoned Mr. Macfarlane of the state of affairs and ' he came down to the wharf, He claimed that he had made' an inspection of the Hay Boy, which, was tied up at Anglin's Bay, and would say that kt would cost at least B50 to fix the hole in ker storn. Joseph Fallon, the first witness for the defence stated that his Tiem had ceased to use the scow on Nov. Sth, dod had returned it to the C.P.R. whurf, Wheh cross-examined by Mr. King, Mr. Fallon stated that on the morning of the accident a min came to his home and told him that one of . their mud scows was damay'ng another boat at the CPR. what, put he did not think it was theirs, and for tliat reason he did not go to look, He later went to the C.P.- R. pile wharf,' where some of thie scows were tied.

Growth of the Navies Eonflon Daily Chronicle 1 The opening of .the twentieth cen- tury has been marked above all other periods in the world's history by swiftness of change. With unparai- leled rapidity every sort and kind of activity has made increase, and this is as true of sfience and of Socim 'nstitutions as it is of trade and*in- dustry. Unfortunately the arma- ments of the pation have shared in- the general advance, and it is as tonishing to find that there are now six fordign countries that spend upon their navies nearly as much as, or even more than, we did as recently as 1894. In that year our navy cost us £14,000,000, an advance of only £4,000,000 upon 1874. Now Japan spends £10,000,000 and Italy £11,- 000,000, while Germany spends £23,- 000,000, and France £21,000,000, ci mentiariatt K. C. L Exhibition Grand Opera Housé, 8 pm.
