CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-During his visit to the
board of trade to-day, Lord Dufferin, on invi-
tation of President Howe, made a speech in
which he said he considered his reception as
striking proof of the friendly feeling existing
between the United States and Canada. 1t
would not become him as Governor General of
Canada and simply legislator of the Grown to
express his sentiments on any political ques-
tons, but he could say that the government of
Great Britain and that of Canada desired to
preserve those policies that would tend to in
crease and develope the personal relations that
now bind those powers to the United States.
His government did not imagine that on any
agreement or treaty one sided bargain was
desirable or possible and he believed our people
were actuated by the same honorable senti-
ments in regard to Canada. 1t would ever be
his most earnest wish and endeavor to promote
the joint interests of the United States and
Canda and bring the two countries into closer
relations.

TIE OTHER SIDE.-Capt. William York CT
Yarmouth, who was fined S. and costs by JUS
tice Humphreys of that town, for an assault
upon the Grand Trunk station agent in that
town, says that the trouble grew out of the re-
fusal of said agent to sell York a Portland tick
ct, because he did not wish to change $40 bill,
He was compelled to buy ticket on the train
which cost him forty cents more than the spe-
cial station ticket. Some time in the proceed
ings dispute arose between the two, when, as
York says. the agent gave him the lie, where
apon be slapped the officials face and knocked
him on his stove.
