The liver was considerably swollen above its normal condition at this time of the year all day Saturday, and the residents of Gait came to the conclusion that they were going to have a very mild experience in the matter of floods this spring. but their expectations Were disappointed. Sunday morning about 7.30 o’clock the monster ice jam at Blair gave way and czune rushing down through Gait at a frightful speed, carrying everything movable along with it in its almost irresistable force. Blocks of ice 18 inches thick and as large as the side of a house. whole trees, roots and branches attached, a foot and a half at the trunk, hewn timber. loose boards, fence rails, and out-houses by the score were carried along in the rushing and roaring tor- rent. A great amount of damage to property has been caused. The first bridge to go down was the smaller one near Blair Station on the public road leading to Preston. The next bridge to suffer was the upper bridge in the town of Galt. The middle span was carried entirely away and the other two spans are badly damaged as well as all the stone piers. Loss estimated at $5,000. The flooring and stone piers of the Main street bridge and the lower bridge in Gait have been damaged to the extent of probably $100 each.

These two washouts at one time made it appear very serious for the people of West Brantford. Fortunately the water has fallen about 12 or 15 Inches. This, with the repairs workmen are making at both places, has saved West Brantford from a very serious flood. The firemen with lifeboat and hook and ladder wagon were in Wat Brantford during the afternoon. It is reported the Cockshutt Bridge, about two and a half miles south of the city, went down early and the farm lands in that vicinity are covered with water six to ten feet deep. No loss of life is reported so far. If the water in the river continues to fall as it is now doing the prospect is there will be no further damage. The citizens turned out in good numbers to see the flood. Looks Like a Lake. After dark the water in the Grand River began to rise and by half past 9 it had reached the top of the dike. The men at work repairing the dike at the northern extremity of West Brantford had to abandon their work. The water began to come over the top, and they were in danger of being caught. Warn- ing was given immediately to the citizens of West Brantford to move out. At 10 o'clock the fire bell rang, call- ing for assistance, and the firemen with llfl‘bOlltS, wagons, and citizens with wagons, proceeded to aid in the rescue. Quite a number have moved out, but there are still some remaining: At . 10.30 it was reported the dike had gone. The water is now running through West antford at a good speed, three to five feet deep. and sidewalks are float- ' ing.

About midnight or shortly after a light was discovered in the office of Brad- iield Bros. 6:. Co.’s hardware establish- ment. Burglars being suspected, Mr. Barry Bradficld was notified, and with the assistance of a couple of constables well armed, surrounded the store. A few moments later a form was seen to come out of the 013309, and Mr. Bradfield, who was stationed at the front door with a Winchester rifie, fired. The man dropped to the floor, and a lamp was secured. It was found that the suspected burglarwas none other than the firm’s clerk and grandson of the senior partner, and that a terrible mistake had been made. A physician was summoned. and it was found that the ball had passed through the upper part of one leg and lodged in the other. The bullet was easily ex- tracted. The patient, from loss of blood, together with the awful shock. was in a very weak condition, and passed away about noon yesterday. Great sympathy is expressed for the sorrowing mother and family, and for Mr. Bmdfield's un- fortunate connection with the sad affair.

The Imperial Parliament Outdoes Ito Greatest Previous Record for Naval Expendltureeâ€"Buula’s Cur Auth- orizes the Expenditure of .70.- 000.000 Out of the Current Funds-Britain Around. London, March 11,â€"The Parliament- ary Secretary for the Foreign Ofiloe, Mr. Geo. N. Curzon, replying in the House of Commons yesterday to Mr. Ronald Munro-F n, Liberal, representing the district of Leith, said no communica- tions on the Cuban question had been exchanged between the British Ambassa- dor at Washington, Sir Julian Panace- fote, and the Government of the United States. Answering a question, Mr. Cunon said Russia had not sent an ultimatum to China with reference to Port Arthur and Ta~Llen-Wan. Mr. Curzon also announced that the British Ambassador at St. Petersburg had confirmed the report that Russia was negotiating for the lease of Port Arthur and Ta-Lien-Wan, for the same period and under the same conditions asgranted to Germany in the case of Kine-Chou, and that Russia was also negotiating for the right to construct a railroad from Petunafion the trans-Manchurian line, to Kwang-Chun-Tzu, Mukden and Port Arthur, but Mr. Curzon explained that Russia did not demand sovereign rights, nor had she threatened to move troops into Manohuria in the event of China's noncompliance with her demands. Mr. Curzon also denied that Russia and France had protested against the Anglo-German loan to China. The First Lord of the Admiralty, the Hon. George J. Goschen, in presenting the naval estimates yesterday, pointed out that, with the outlay on naval works, the expenditure amounted to the colossal sum of $125,550,000 ($127,750,000), which, he explained, vvas even considered in- adequate in some quarters. Continuing. Mr. Goschen dilated upon the quiet and unostcntutious increase of the British fleet in China waters by four vessels from other foreign stations as be- ing an instance of the naval preparedness. Later, Mr. Goschen said he hoped the Admiralty would not be too hardly pressed to communicate its plans, but he assurred the llousc that in the distribu- tion of cruisers, for instance, the Admirâ€" alty had considered wrefully the protec- tion of every trade and every food supply route, and be trusted that “if times darken" the Admiralty would have the confidence of the House, and the Admiralty would be found doing its duty. . Touching upon the increase in the per- sonnel of the navy, Mr. Goschen said there was no lack of recruits for the navy. He also denied that the navy was under- manned. He admitted there wasapaucity of officers, but he explained that would be easily remedied. Touching on the building programme, Mr. Goschen said he would defer furnish- ing particulars regarding the proposed new warships in order to keep foreigners in the dark concerning their plans; but he could say that the battleships and cruisers would be adopted to the special circumstances which the past year had revealed in various parts of the world Mr. Goschen then deplored the recent industrial struggles, and appealed for an increase of pay for the British seamen of the merchant marine, saying that if from false economy or impossible conditions on either side, British sailors were ousted by foreigners, then “God help us.” He concluded: “If peace shall again reign in our cen- tres of industry and maritime instincts and if the nation that calls herself mis- tress of the sea reasserts herself by an increase of merchant seamen, then the nation may look forward in confidence that if there be peace it will be peace with honor, but if war, it must be crowned with victory.” (Prolonged cheer- ing.) Mr. William Allen. Radical member for Newcastle-under-Lynne, advocated greater efforts, and moved an amendment that greater provision be made for man- ning the fleet. Rear-Admiral Lord Charles Beresfonl, Conservative member of York City, aeoonding the amendment, urged a large reserve of men, and suggested that Great Britain should buy all the vessels new building in England for other countries.
