Nerdiict of Jury.

The result of the coroners' Inquiry
into the circumstances of the firing upon
North Sea fishermen was as follows:
aThat George Henry Smith and VIII
| liam Leggett were, at about II 80 a. ~,
on October %, while out fishing with
travis aboard the British steam trawler
Crane. with board of trade marks exhie-
tied and regulation lights burning, killed
nv shots feed without warning or provo
cation from certain Russian war vessels
ut a distance of about quarter OF
mile
At the request of the British govern.
ment, represented by the Earl OF DYsart,
solicitor OF the treasury, this conserva-
tive award was rendered by the first
court of inquiry preceding the sessions
of the international tribunal. The gov
eminent asked the jury not to hnd YER
dict OF wilful murder or manslaghter be.
cause dedicate negotiations are going on
which should not be made difficult; and
that they ought not TO let anyone think
they bad preiudged the case before hav-
ing heard both sides"
In consequence the jury simply set
forth the facts proved by the evidence
uf physicians, experts on explosives ana
the trawlers themselves. To the verdict
the Jury added the following;
"On this occasion. probably the most
momentous 10 the annals OF the BRUSH
empire. the Jury would record their ap-
nreciation OF the efforts made by the
government being Interested to reach a
satisfactory conclusion OF the matter,
which we feel has no parallel In the his
tory of the world
The proceedings occupied only about
three hours The testimony consisted
OF medical evidence, by which It WAS
proved that the death OF Smith and Leg.
get was the result of shell and machine
gun wounds; then an expert ldenuhed
fragments OF shells by private marks,
which he said were undoubtedly Russian,
and the stories OF captains and mates OF
the trawlers. These latter related that
" lille they were engaged In their regu-
iar work the ships of the Baltic Seet is
two squadrons suddenly emerged from
the haze apd, throwing the glare OF their
searchlights on the gamecock feet, with
out warning and disregarding flare and
green lights, the flsherman's signal, and
although within actual speaking distance
OF one vessel, commenced a cannonade,
which the fishermen at first, not reallz-
ing the danger, enjoved, thinking 1t was
sham fight. The firing lasted half an
hour.
To each of these witnesses was put
the vital question regarding the presence
OF a foreign vessel or torpedo boat. Each
with equal posltiveness denied that at
any time preceding or during the firing
was a japanese, British or any foreign
vessel seen by them or the accompany
ing fishing fleet. 1t was also stated that
there were no japanese among the crews
and that none of the trawlers carried
arms of any description. One OF the
shippers, replying to question by the
coroner, said that during the five weeks
he was In the North Sea, he had not
seen any war ships until that night.

To Portland's Advantage.

The Canadian election Ia over and the
Liberal party won, the leading issue be-
ing the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad
program, which provided for trans
continental line largely supported by the
federal treasury. This means that dur
ing the months the st. Lawrence river Is
closed the freight traffic will very large
" go to Portland and Boston instead of
TO st. John and Halifax, which fact, the
Conservative party has maintained,
would be financial blow TO the domin-
ion. Portland, being the Atlantic ter
minus OF the Grand Trunk, will reap a
large benefit from this victory OF the
Liberals over the border, and while the
event had no great significance or inter-
est to the rest of the State, Portland had
about as much at stake as she had in our
United States election last Tuesday.
The victory means the Grand Trunk
railway, with its Atlantic terminal, will
he pushed through from Winnipeg to
the Pacific coast and that all aloag this
great trans-contlnental railroad the pro-
ducts for export will be, for the most
part, shipped directly to Portland.
The highest officials of the Grand
Trunk, the officials OF that city and all
others who are conversspt with the stu
alton as |, is and as 1t will be, agree that
Portland's population will double within
few years after the railroad is com.
peted, that her property valuation will
increase correspondingly and that heI
commerce will increase probably ten
fold.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive so and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionisth emod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion ooes more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

The Cost of War.

The cost of war and warfare
rom 1893 to 1908, inclusive, says
Edward Atkinson, the we'll known
4nti-imperialist, has been over
59.ooo,ooo,ooo. The cost of the
war with Spain and of the war
fare upon the people Of the Phil
ippine islands to the end Of the
last fiscal year, June 80, 1903, had
been over S85o,ooo,ooo, an addi-
ton in that fiscal year to the Prev
ious charge upon the taxpayers
Of this country of not less than
SI5o,ooo.ooo. This charge is in
creasing rather than diminishing.
At the end of the present cal
endar year, December 81, 1903, we
shall have expended in war and
warfare not less than $4,000 600
which sum will be slightly in ex-
cess of the outstanding bonded
debt of the United States bearing
interest. OF this sum about 5000,
900, 900 Is commonly assigned 10
the cost of the war with Spain.
There are no exact data outside
the government accounts by
which this can be apportioned.

Nerve-Timina.

A curious instance of the care
and minuteness with which the
human body is now studied in the
effort better to understand It's
powers and functions, is furnished
by a paper read recently at a
meeting of the Royal Society in
London on the Rapidly of the
Nervous Impulse in Tall and
Short Individuals" Even the diff
ference in time required for a
nerve telegram" to traverse the
bodies of different people is re-
garded as a matter of scientific inn
Dortance. A series of observations
has shown that the length of the
nerve does affect the velocity with
which an impulse passes between
he brain and the extremities, and
consequently that more time is
needed if the path is long than if
i is short. 1t follows that a short
nan should feel a step on his
corns quicker than tall man, but
the difference is SO slight that the
offender has no better chance Of
escape in one than in the other.
