Trade StagnatiOn in England.

New YORK, Aug Ex-senator Edmunds and
family arrived from Europe yesterday. In an
interview last night the senator, in response to
a question about the present condition of trade
in England, said: ut is depressed; very much
depressed. l made inquiries wherever | went
on that point, and the reply was everywhere the
same. The cause is undoubtedly over-produc-
ton. England has gone on manufacturing until
she has glutted all her markets. There is already
a wide feeling there that England can only save
herself and prevent starvation emigration
among her working people by following the ex-
ample of this country, and adopting protective
tariff policy. Indeed, think she will be COM
PEELED to do So"

The Senation In LOndon-Some Details of the
Romance.
NEW YORK, Aug. ia London cablegram
says: The unexpected marriage of Lord Cole
ridge has made decided sensation in London,
and caused many inquiries and some unpleasant
gossip concerning the brides family. Lady Cole
ridge is blonde, with rather pretty oval face,
and is said to be musical in her tastes. She has
fine, welcultivated voice. Lord Coleridge is
an old family friend of the Lawfords, and was D
classmate at Elton, of Col. Melville Lawford. of
the Madras army, relative of Lady Coleridge.
Although this friendship had not been kept
up of late years. it led to Miss
Amy Augusta Jackson Lawford being placed
under Lord Coleridges protection on the voy-
steamer acquaintance thus began re-
suited IN an engagement soon after
landing 1t was not so stated by
Mrs Lawford. but it is probable that the mar
riage was delayed in hopes of the sons and rela-
tives of Lord Coeridge withdrawing their oppo-
sition AS this was not done, the marriage was,
by Lord Coieridges request, quite private, and
took place at the brides home Lord Colerdge's
children were not present and sent no gifts.
Lady Coleridge was married In n travelling dress
of gray cloth, trimmed with white frieze velvet
and silver braid AS jewelry, she wore pearls
and diamonds, including diamond pendant
given by Lord Coleridge Although the bride.
is Presbyterian, the marriage service was
conducted by Rev. j. T. Richardson Fussel, of
Trinity College. Immediately after the wedding
the couple left for Devonshire, and will later
spend few weeks in travelling through north
ern England and Scotland.
Lady Coleridge was born in India, but on the
death of her father, who was in the Bengal civil
service, she was brought to England and edu-
Gated here. She is thirty-two years of age. The
object of her trip to America was to visit rela-
tives in New York. The visit gave her so
pleasant an impression of the country that an
other visit with Lord Coleridge is not impossible.
On their return from the honeymoon, the bride
and bridegroom will go to Veath's Court, Ottery,
st. Mary, Devonshire, the Lord Chief Justices
