The High Court Is still considering the law suit of Mr. Q. 0. 8. Lindey against Dr. W. D. Le 8uur. The race has at- traotcd a great deal of attention, partly n account of the Prominence of the liti- gant, partly on aorount of the interest- Inr point of law at issue, and partly also on account of the exceedingly interfiling recollect ion which came up in the course of the trial. Mr. O. G. 8. Lindney in a grand- son of William Lyon Mackrnzir. He .- a son of thr late Mr Charles Lindticy. for many years a prominent journalUt of To- ronto, and In later yeara registrar, and of Janet L., one of thn daughters of the rebel-patriot.

This collection i aid to be exceedingly pro- fuse and ini/rrcming. containing docu- ment* which are to be found nowhere else tn the world. Briefly, the stnry of the prwent law tuit is that Dr. Le Sucur. who i a liter- ary light of Ottawa, being commissioned by the publishers of tho 'Makers of Can- ada" aerie* to write a biography of Wil- liam Lyon Mackeniie, secured permission to have free a<ves to the Lindeey lib- rary and its document!).

CANADA'S GIFT TO BRITAIN Thirty-five Million Dollars to Build the Thre e Strongest Battleships Afloat 82 LOST IN A STORM. Only 11 of 100 Fishing Vowels Re- im iinl Safe to I'ortis. A depatch from LiBbon Rays : Eighty-two Portuguese fishcrmi'n lost their livt'8 during a remit, storm on the const of Portugal. j Four clnys ago a fleet of one hun- dred fishing vessels whose crews I totaled lllii men wrro caught in the i )jale. Up to the present only eleven ^if them have returned, and it is nltnoBt certain the remainder wont clown with their craft. The Hiirvi- v<ii'n suffered sovero privations. They were without food or water for three dnyn, whilo the sens \vcn ' vf ry heavy and cold winds pre- vailed. Four of the fishermen ht rniiie insane, jumped overboard nud were drowned. Six bodies have been washed ashore on the north- ern const. A despatch from Ottawa says : The three most powerful battleships in the world is Canada's proposal for supplementing the royal navy, the- cost to be $35,000,000. Premier Forden so announced on. Thursday afternoon, saying : "The situation is, in my opinion, sufficiently grave to demand imme- diate action. We have asked his Majesty's Government in what form temporary and immediate aid can be given by Canada at this junc- ture. The answer has boen unhes 5 - tating and unequivocal. Let me again quote it : " '\Ve have no hesitation in an- swering, after a prolonged consid- eration of all the circumstances, that it is desirable that such aid should include the provision of a certain number of the largest and strongest ships of war which science can build or money supply.' "Upon enquiry as to the cost of such a battleship, we were informed by the Admiralty that it is approxi- mately 2,350,000, including arma- ment and first outfit of ordnance stores and ammunition. The total cost of three such battleships which, when launched, will be the most powrful in the world, 'would be ap- proximately thirty-five million dol- lars, and we ask the people of Can- ada, through their Parliament, to grant that gum to his Majesty, the King of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the overseas Dominions, in order to increase the effective naval forces of the Empire to safeguard our shores and our sea-borne com- merce, and to make secure the com- mon heritage of all who owe alleg- iance to the King. Control of Ships. "The ships will be at the disposal of his Majesty the King for the com- mon defence of tho Empire. They will be maintain**! and controlled as part of the Royal Navy, and wo have the assurance that if, at any- time in the future, it should be the will of the Canadian people to es- tablish a Canadian unit of tho Bri- tish navy, these vessels can bo re- called by the Canadian Government to form part of that navy, in which case, of course, they would be main- tained by Canada and not by Great Britain. In the meantime, I am as- sured thnt special arrangements will be made to give Canadians the opportunity of serving as officers of these ships." Information From Admiralty. Some of the information from the Admiralty was "necessarily of a very confidential character," but he submitted their memorandum, which laid especial emphasis on the naval race between Britain and Germany. But whilo tho Admiralty "net the greatest store on the im- portant material, and still more im- portant moral assistance it is with- in the power of Canada to give," it was made plain that no pressure was being exerted on Canada to give a decision "which -clearly be- longs solely to Canada." And whatever might be done, the assur- ance was given that Britain "has not lost her capacity, by a wise pol- icy and strenuous exertions, to watch over and preserve the vital interests of the Empire." "Tho Empire," said the Premier, "was peculiarly dependent on the pupremaey of the navy, for not be- ing a military power, a decisive de- feat at sea would shatter the Em- pire. "Twelve years ago tho British navy and the British flag were pre- dominant in every ocean in the world, and along the shores of every continent. To-day they are pre- dominant only on the North Sea," lie declared. "In 1902 there were 160 ships on foreign and colonial stations, as against 76 to-day, al- though nnval expenditure had in- creased by f>0 per cent. "The real test of our action is the existence or non-existence of absolute security," he assorted. History was full of warnings of the fate of the unprepared. The British flag was not known now on Canada's coasts. Fleet For Canada. "I am assured that the aid which we propose will enable such specific arrangements to bo consummated, that, without courting disaster at home, an effective fleet of battle- ships and cruisers can bo establish- ed in the Pacific, and a powerful Rqutulron cnn periodically visit our Atlantic seaboard." "Wo are now undertaking or be- ginning a system of regular and periodical contributions," snid the Premier, and he proceeded to out- lino the Government's proposals. He was certain 1h*it At would take Canada 26 or 50 years to build a navy that would be "a poor and wenk substitute" for "tho splendid organization tho Empire now pos- sesses." Canada could render aul now "upon just and self-respecting terms." A it! fur Shi|i-1lniMinff, The ships would be built in Bri tain. Cnniifla hud not. the facilities to build the hulks, and to provide thorn would be to waste twelve mil- lion dollars additional expense. But to assist Canadian ship-building the Admiralty was prepared to give or- ders to Canadian yards for cruisers, oil-tank vesels, etc., and Canada would defray the extra cost. Can- ada's three ships would bear his torio Canadian names. Sum Not Excessive. The amount involved was "mod- erate and reasonable." Argentina in four years had spent over $65,- 00 .000 on the navy. From 1870-90 Britain had spent $125,000,000 to $150,000,000 on the North Atlantic squadrons, and from 1853-1903, over 8100,000,000 on military defence in Canada. The Premier described the work of the British committee on Imper- ial defence, and added : "I am assured by H. M. Govern- ment that pending a final solution of the question of voice and influ- ence, they would welcome the pre- sence in London of a Canadian Min- ister during the whole or portion of each year. No important step in foreign policy would be undertaken without consultation with such a representative." And in conclusion he said: "We invite the statesmen of Great Bri- tain to study with us the real prob- lem of Imperial existence." British Opinion. A despatch from London say : The announcement of Canada's proposed purchase of three Dread- noughts for the Imper'al navy is made the leading feature of the entire press. Premier Borden's speech in introducing the bill ap- propriating 835,000,000 for this pur- pose is printed in full by all the papers, which in editorials welcome Canada's gift and eulogize the pa- triotism of the Dominion in unstint- ed and glowing terms. Coincident with the announce- ment of the Canadian gift the Ad- miralty issued a statement pre- pared for the Canadian Government at its request setting forth the re- quirements of the Empire for naral defence.

GREECE IS NOW IN LINE Declares 5he Acted in Accordance With Wished of the Other Balkan States A despatch from Athens says : It is officially announced that Greek plenipotentiaries will participate in the peace negotiations. A semi- official statement, issued on Thurs- day night, protests against inter- preting the fact that Greece did not sign the armistice as proof that dis- sensions exist among the allies, and declares that it was by agreement of the allies that Greece adopted an attitude different from that of the other States. The explanation is ifiven that Greece's course was due bo her anxiety that her naval action should not be interrupted in the Ionian Sea, in order to prevent the revictualling of the Turkish army in Epirus, and in the Aegean Sea, in order to prevent the transport of Turkish troops to Thrace, with re- spect to which Greece considered ihe interest of her allies rather than hr own. The chances for the conclusion of peace would have suf- fered from the reinforcement of the Dardanelles and Tchatalja garri- sons. The statement refers totheTurco- [talian treaty recently signed as proof that it is not ncessary that peace negotiations shall be pre- ceded by an armistice. Turkish Gnorilla Attacked. A despatch from Salonika, Euro- jean Turkey, says : A force of jreek troops on Thursday severely defeated and punished 1,000 Turks who were pillaging the village of Boyatisco, according to a report from the headquarters of the Greek army. The Turks are said to lot 330 men killed and wounded. Forty of them were taken prisoners. The Turks are alleged to be carry- ing on guerilla tactics, pillaging burning, and committing outrage*. Austria's Demands. A Vienna despatch to the London Daily Telegraph says: "The Aus trian Government is looking for- ward with calm confidence to th end of the peace negotiations ii the belief, which I am trustworth- ily informed is justified, that he| demands will be satisfied. Bui peace must bo made quickly, foi the commercial losses caused by the prolonged crisis are making tha whole people daily more disconten- ted, and undue delay would caus< fresh trouble. "There U no reason, however, why the negotiations should not b brief. Bulgaria and Turkey nrs already as one, and when peace it concluded they will be Ptill closer together. The treatment of Albania is the most likely to occupy tima in the negotiations. Servia is sura to raise the question of Durazzo and Alessio, but Turkey knowing that whatever happens Albania will never again be a part of the Turkish Empire, will probably not raise a dispute orer any claim* pul forward for any portions thereof. Turkey knows also that the final arrangements for Albania will nol be for the Balkan allies, but for the European powers."
