GLASGOW, May 24-The effect OF the news
Of the failure of the Philadelphia and Read
Ing Railroad Coal and Iron Co. has not
been so serious as has been feared. The
market this morning opens quiet with
moderate business, and there seems to be
no disposition to exaggerate the occurrence
beyond its legitimate and inevitable re-
suits. The price OF iron in the United
States is already so low as to shut off ex-
ports from Great Britain, and it is not
probable that the Reading suspension will
materially affect this market.

LONDON, May N-Mrs. Weldon, whose
relations with Mr.. Gounod, the composer,
have been the source of so much scandal,
and whose conduct at one OF the Covent
Garden Concerts some time since and sub
sequent statement made by her, gave rise
to libel suit against her by Mr.. Rivere,
the manager of the concerts, has been
sentenced at the Central Criminal Court to
four months imprisonment. The severity
OF the sentence caused some surprise.
Italy.
GRAND RATIFICATION MEETING.
ROME, May N.-The success of the Min
istry in the elections was celebrated here
last night with public demonstration of
the usual kind. 1t was in no proper sense
popular outbreak, as the Italian elections
are so thoroughly under the control of lead
ing manipulators and politicians that they
do not necessarily express the will of the
majority. The demonstration was arranged
for effect and considerable crowd paraded
the streets, with cries of Long live the
House of Savoy, long live the Ministry"

PANAMA, May 16.-The Hon. Ernest
Diechman, United States Minister to Col
umbia, paid an official visit to His Excel
lency, President Ittrvera, on the 5th inst.
During the progress of the interview the
remark was made by one of the gentlemen
present that the explanations given by the
Plenipotentiary were not in accordance
with recent news and articles published by
the Panama Star and Herald. To this Mr..
Diechman is reported as saying: THAT
journal is in quest Of subsidy. and is not
to be relied upon" The Star and Herald
thus forcibly replies: "Diechman, or any
other man, may judge of our motives, in
tentions, wishes or obligations as he may
elect. but the public expression of them
which he has essayed leaves us the privil-
ege Of replying that liar is always con-
temptible, whether he be an American
Minister or the nleannest wretch that
crawls the street"
