LEONARD CORNING, New York, In bis standard work, "Brain Rest, writes regarding VIN MARlANli John Hope Montreal, Of all the medicaments that I employ in the very numerous cases of irritability, VIN MARUNI has rendered the greatest service, for this preparation of Coca possesses the calmative properties of Bromides, without producing the unpleasant depression which characterises them." fit first It was understood a free Kiant wus to be given.

As nuitfJis stood the town of Sherbrooko was now cnllml upon to pay thirty thousand dollars, while the remainder rtf tho district whs called for forty-flvo thousand dollars, It was true that the town of Kherbrooke gave a site for tln new building, but that was only In exchange as the town will take over the site of tho present court house. Ho was ft tax-payer of Sherbrooke, but represented tho county of Wolfe, and lis his constituents were opposed to the resolutions, ho would vote against them. There was about three-quaiter million dollars duo to the Government for the building and jury fund by the different districts of this province, and the collection of part of this would help In the con-const ruction of the court house at Sherbrooke. It would be much better to make tho litigants pay extra disbursements law stamps to help meet the expenses thnnMn Impose such taxes on the municipalities which are already called upon to pay more than they should.

RAILWAY SUBSIDIES. Another discussion arose on tho Uovcrninemt's resolution reniee't'lng certain subsidies to railways which were ulmuly In The Gn-Sii-tte. ilon. Mr. Oouin explained the nu-tui-o of the resolutions.

lion. Mr. Flynn remarked thit't the present Government had oiuinged Its policy respecting the delays grunted to railways. This wus contrary to the policy of Ulie Liberals when wwe In opposition. Why was no mention made ot other comixinles besides the three referred to In these resolutions, although the last speaker had admitted that there were a number of demands before the Government from railway companies, that these demands amounted in fact to several million dollars? What about tho South Shore Hallway? Everybody wus anxious to see It extended to Levis, -U i At MUM hi WiiiUP, 1761 Notre Dame St.

STRUCK DOWN IN STABLE Myaterloua Assailant Mad Oood His Eeoape Brantford Aroused Over the Dastardly Crime, Ernntford, March 24 The body of James Quirk, the athlete and proprietor of the Commercial Hotel wus found at midnight last night la the hotel stubles. The bellboy lieurd groans In the burn, und informed the cook, who proceeded "to the stable, and at the foot of the steps leading to thu loft found Quirk lying In a pool of blood. It's supposed Quirk went out tit midnight to see some game chickens in the stuble loft, und when entering tho Jofl wus attacked by some person, und lilt on the heud sev-erul times with a blunt Instrument, as his head wus badly bruised. The culprit, it is supposed, escaped through the gatu leading to Dalhousl'e street, as the hostler had bolted the gate.

It wus found open after the deed. The police are working on the case, On the request of the Brantford Crown authorities, the Attorney-General deputed Inspector John Murruy to investigate the clrcumstunces attending the death of Quirk. CLOUDED IN MYSTERY. The murder Is the main topic ot conversation in the city. Deceased wus walking around the city with a few friends ufter ten o'clock lust night, and wag cheerful and chatty.

The cause for the murder as yet Is clouded lit mystery, The bellboy, Eddie Kennedy, was retiring shortly before 12 o'clock, left Mr. Quirk sitting in his office, smoking. Kennedy had been hi bed a while, when he heard a loud cry, he opened his window, and heard moaning in the stable. He went down stairs and saw Mr. Ryan, the vegetable cook, and told him about the moaning in the stable.

Ryan went out Immediately, turned on an electrlu light, and found Mr. Quirk lying on the floor. Mr. Quirk was a great bird fancier, and had a number of game fowl In the stable loft. It Is supposed the noise of his game fowl attracted him to the stable, and when ascending the ludder to the hayloft he wus assailed by a concealed murderer, who dealt him three or four severe blows on the head, which proved fatal.

The police so far huve no clue whatever as to the cause of the murder. Coroners Jury has been empanelled to Investi gate, MILITARYJOURNEY 48th Highlanders Give Interest ing Exhibition at New York.

WORLD'S GREAT FLEETS Elder-Dempster Is the Largest British Owned Two Foreign Fleets Exoeed It. (Shipping Gazette and Lloyd's List.) Ocean communications become every year of greater Importance to a country relying mainly upon over sea food supplies. Our position amongst the nations ot the world Is inwparaibly linked with our naval und mercantile fleets, and upon their supremacy depends a continuance of our prosperity and power. In view, therefore, of the extreme national Importance of our merchant shipping, it is not without Interest to note our present resources in this respect compared with other countries, and the progress that has been made since the application of steam to navigation. In the year 1830 there were only 168 British vessels exceeding 600 tons and 'n Is3 the largest vessel classed in Lloyd's Register was the ship George of 1,438 tons.

The first steamer entered on the register was the James Watt, 294 tons, built in 1821; and the first iron steamer to appear there was ths Silrlus, 180 toms. In 1837. The Great Britain, tons, was built of Iron In and first exceeded 300 fet in length. The Eastern, 18,918 tons, In 18j8, was 6S0 feeit In length, and was equipped with propeller and paddle WheeJx. The Britannic, which exceeded 5,000 tons, was bnliit In 1874; and In 188 the City of New York and her Bisiter ship, each of which exceeded 10.000 tons, were fitted with twin screws.

In 1SU9 the dimensions of the Great Eutern were exceeded by trtie Oceanic, 17,247 tons, which was 704 feet in length. In 1901 the (VUie, 20,904 tons, made Its appearance, and this vessel at present holds tJie record for size. In 1820 the total Bteam tonnage belonging to the United Kingdom was baroly 8,000 tons. In 1838 the Bitiish ntcami aihn.i numbered less than 800, an altered nearly 150,000 tons. At noa tne uniieiu owuies owit i 5.000 tons more In stea.imtili Great Britain.

Mr. Turgeon replied that It Is on behalf of the Union Franco-Canadlenne, mid under the direction of the Inspector of mutual societies that Messrs. Kent and Turcotte are enquiring Into the state of affairs of the Union Franco-Canadienne, and these accountants are the mandatories of the union. MH. AltCHAMBAULT'S POSITION.

Hon. Mr. Turgeon also informed Hon. Mr. Dupuis that the Government is informed that Mr.

U. E. Archambault, of Montreal, now holds, and has for several years held the position of director-general of the schools under the control of the School Commission ers of Montreal; the Government does not know for how many years; since Mr. Archambault occupies that position he draws a salary of $1,050, from the Teachers' Pension Fund of this province. The administrative committee of the Teachers' Fund settles all questions respecting that fund, and they alone can adopt the necessary -means to have the pension reimbursed to the said fund.

Mr. Archambault is secretary-treasurer of the Roman Catholic School Commission of Montreal, and is director-general of the night schools, and In the latter position he draws $300 annually, but the Government does not know what amount he draws from the other source. A number of bills were summarily 'disposed of, as they were presented too late, and will probably, come up gain next session. IN SUPPLY. The Houaa then went Into supply' and parsed a large number of items.

A petition was laid on the taible by Mr, Dion, member for Toniiecouata, on behalf of local printer, named Faber, complaining that certain local religious institutions which do not pay municipal taxes, are competing against Certain trades, end requesting that the committee of Industries make an en Qulry into the effect on different industries by the competition of the different religious Institutions of this City. SHERBROOKE COURT ItOUSS. 'At the afternoon session Hon. Mr, Duffy's resolutions respecting the building of a court house for the district of St, Francis, In the city of Eherbrooke, were taken up In committee, when Hon. Mr.

Pelletier objected to -the resolutions, as if they were adopted the district of St. Francis would be placed in a different position than the other districts of the province. Besides, the Government hod f- ovn offices In the building, and he mild lot understand why the district Francis should be taxed for the nance of these offices. He was tu pponed to the Joint in the district of St. Francis, the districts of Montreal and where much more business vsa'tl'jie, one prothonotary was suf-fl for eaoh district.

Mi. Giard, member for" Compton, protested against the on the grounds that his county mi iid oe unfairly taxed. Why should a t.oiir-. house, costing $75,000, be const.) j'-tid when the present building Child be repaired and put In good rriicr tor about The county pf Cmnpton had never asked for a ImiMirg and should not be called upon to pay anything towards its construe-ilon. If the town of Sherbrooke waiiurt the building, they should pay for it themselves, or, at least, pay 75 per wit.

of its cost. If the Government thought that the ratepayers were willing to pay anything towards this new court house, they might consult the electors of that county and they would perhaps be surprised at the result. The city of Sherbrooke was going to benefit by the court house and the rural municipalities should not be called upon to pay for a monument for that city. Dr. Pelletier (Sherbrooke) spoke in favor of the resolutions, and in reply to the member of Dorchester, remarked that if he had been elected for Kherbrooke, it was because the Government had promised a new court house, but bocause the electors of his county favored the Parent administration.

The town of Sherbrooke was called upon to pay ono-fifth of the cost of the new building, and that was sufficient for them to pay, besides giving a site, which cost the town twenty-eight thousand dollars. Mr. Mackenzie considered that the member for Compton had taken a very narrow view of the question, as there was a consensus of opinion throughout the whole district of St. Francis in favor of the construction of a new court house. The present building was In a most dilapidated condition, and was constructed when the district had about one-fifth of its present popuiatlon.

For the last ten years there was an unanlmis demand for p. new court house for that district, and as fur ns his county "was concerned the electors wore willing to pay their share of the cost. Mr. Smith approved of the Government's resolutions, and remarked that It whs time that the district of Ht. Francois should have a new court house, Hon.

Mr. Durfy was willing to allow the five members of the district to ngree on some measure, and he would abide by their decision. Chlcoyno remarked that as the representative of one of the Knstern Townships counties, he, like, the member for Compton and others, understood that at a meeting of delegates from the Townshipft, held In March last, with the Government, that latter Intended constructing the court bouse nut of the building nnd Jury fund.

By a fire In the pattern loft of the Poison Engine Company tonight, a number of valuable patterns in connection with the Government work were very badly damaged, and a loss of $2,500 wus sustained upon the buildings.

Flynn inquired If the Government Intended to aid In the extension of this road from Ya-musku, to Levis. Mr. AUard remarked for the present company did not ask for subsidies as it did not require any. He had received a letter from the company's engineer, stating that the works on the road would be proceeded with In an active manner. Hon.

Mr. Lebkino Inquired if the South Shore Railway was a necessity or not. If necessary, Mr. Allard, the member for Yamaska should insist uion the Government declaring its policy In favor of that enterprise, which would be an Immense benefit to the residents of the south shore. Hon.

Mr. Gouln remarked that no doubt there were numerous demands for grants to railway companies but that these demands would be submitted to the commission which would be appointed Investigate colonization works In the province, and that commission would report as to the railway companies which should be I subsidized. I Hon. Mr. Leblanc had not much faith in the commission and inquired what wns the general railway policy of the Government.

Hon. Mr. Gouin replied that the Government would come to a deoialon after the commission had made Its report. Hon. Mr.

Pelletier contended that the resolutions now before the House were a complete contradiction to the declaration made by the Provincial Treasurer In his budget speech, as he therein declared that the Government could not in any way grant aid to new I railway enterprises. The Government had already Informed the House that all demands for railway subsidies would be submitted to the commission to be appointed, and strange to say the Government today brought down these resolutions subsidizing certain railways. The resolutions were Anally adopted On division and a bill framed, thereon read a first time. EVENING) SESSION. At the evening session the resolutions respecting licenses were adopted in committee of the House.

Hon, Mr. Duffy proposed that the House go into supply, when Hon, Mr, Pelletier proposed the following amendment, which was defeated by to 6: "This House observes that when the party now in power were in opposition they blamed the Conservative Government for spending on ordinary expenditure an average of $3,978,424.11 during the four years from 1802-K3 to 1080, inclusively, and that now that they are In power they have spent during five years, Including the current year, an average of $4,377,870, making an Increase of upon the sum which they blamed the Conservative party for spending, and which 'they thereby pledged themselves not to exceed," MR.

SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION. The House then went Into committee of supply and passed a number of bills) The item respecting the purchase of books was discussed at length, Hon. Mr.

Pelletier remarking that the Provincial Treasurer had neglected to have the book. "Mon Premier Livie" translated for distribution among the English pehnols. Apparently the Provincial Treasurer considered that the French-Canadian people were too poor to purchase sehool books, so the Government made a free distribution of "Mon Premier to the French-Canadian schools, while It was not translated nor distributed to the English hools. He wanted to know if that book would be freely distributed to the English schools, so that everybody would be on the same footing in this province. There were In this province a large number of Irish Catholics who could not make use of the book, as It was not translated.

Hon. Mr. Parent refilled that he was awaiting a demand of that kind from the Irish Catholics. After a few more remarks from Hon. Mr.

Pelletier, Mr. Lane remarked that he quite agreed with the remurks of the member for Dorchester. If the book was good enough for the French-Canadians It also should be of use to the English and Irish pupils.

THE ISLANDER Attempt to Be Made to Raise the Steamer. Victoria, B. March 24. (Special) Captain J. G.

Cox, British Columbia's agent for Lloyd's, London, has closed a contract with Slrtuss Hope, of Seattle, for the raising of the steamer Islander, and for bringing her to Victoria or some other Canadian port. The Islander, it will be remembered, was lost in a collision with an iceberg at the entrance of Lynn canal, on the night of the 15th of August, of last year. At the time she was on her return voyage to this city from Lynn canal with over one hundred passengers. Ot these, 42 lost their lives, and many of these are believed to have gone down with the ship. After striking the ship's coure was changed, and she was steered for shore, but had not gone far before sinking.

Whether any of her boilers exploded is problematical. Treasure, that has been variously estimated at from $150,000 to $275,000 went down with the steamer, and from that day to this, no attempt has ever been made to recover any of It, Where the steamer sank there is a depth of water upwurds of 40 fathoms, but fie exact depth wherein she settled has never been ascertained for it Is possible that her hull may have been carried a considerable distance after sinking beneath the surface. The plan for raising the steamer cannot now be given. According to the agreement with Captain Cox, Sir? tuss Hope agrees to start work within sixty days, and la to receive 75 per cent of the value of the hull when raised, and will also have a claim for salvage and get the gold. The contract is certainly one of the largest ever attempted on this coast, and It is doubtful if one presenting the same difficulties, is on record.

The Islander lies at a depth of water where divers using the diving gear cannot work. Late John Ryan. Toronto, March 24.
