On the part of the Government it 's

A despatch from London says: Speak-
ing in the House of Lords on Wednes-
day evening, i.ora T vaedmouth, First
Lord of the Adntu'ntto, defended the
policy of the Government in refraining
temporarily from laying down a large
number of battleships, and said that
the construct'on of battleships just now
partook iarg�tel,' of the nature of .an ex-
periment. Great Britain's throe ves-els
of the 'renleraire type, I:e declared,
were infinitely superior to the Dread-
nought type, and the Three vessels of
the Sl. Vincent lyre would bo an Im-
pmt'emenl on the Temeraire type. in
the spring of 1911 (Dent Britain would
have three squadrons of hue ships each
of the St. Vincent type. No power in
the w•.)rid would he able to nssen0le
such a fleet of first-class battleships.
Lore Tweedmaulh declared, and he
could almost say that a oombinntion
ct all the powers of the world would
not he able to put an equal squadron
to the sea.

Stormont Youth Wanted to Stifle Competi-

A despatch from Cornwall says: The
sensation of the week in Stormont
County is the confession of Philip K.
Low, the 20 -year-old son of J. W. Luw•,
meirhanl, of Finch, that he was privy
to the big eontlugratien in l•'iuch Vil-
lage on May 14, of last year, and thus
hr had helped along the big fire of the
,preverie: day. The two (ices nearly
vie d out n busy village at the junction
et tee 0. and N. Y. and C. P. Railways,
and between them caused a kiss of
oter $85.000.
Low, who Ls a nice looking, but ra-
ther weak -faced, young man of 20 years
or 5), a ,nfe:seect on Wednesday to F.
D. \(:Naughton, reeve of Finch, that
on the Jay of the first fire, when 0
looked as if the flames might be ex-
tinguished, he had started a tire in one
of the threatened buildings. hoping
thereby to burn Out one of the bust -
mos rivals of his father. On the night
of Iho following day ho started a Itre
111 1445 lathers store, uitd this caused
the more serk•us conflagration of the
two and nearly wiped Finch off the
)nap. The reason he gave for the sec-
ond not of incendiarism was that he
was tared of the diudgery at a country
stony.
