RELATIONS TO UNITED STATES.
He Says the Two Nations Have Mis-
understood Each other, and the Ill

One Vast VI misunderstanding.

PERTH, SCOTLAND Oct 22--Lord

Premier, in receiving the freedom of the
city Of Pertkto-day referred in the most
cordial terms TO the good feeling be-
tween Great Britain and "our kinsmen in
the United States" Continuing the
speaker said he believed the whole his
tory OF the "ill-feeling which existed was
one vast misunderstanding.

other. Great Britain had waged two wars

but throughout my lie ] have never been
cognizant of an unfriendly feeling In this
country toward the United States. On
the other hand. the Americans in whose
territory the wars were fought and with
whom the recollection was most painful,
have always had a sense of abiding sore

more than a century OF misunderstanding

humanity and civilization" (Cheers).
Lord Rosebery then referred at length
TO tho Fashoda question, his remarks

A NEW Qt-rrrION RAISED AND NETWORK BOND
HOLDERS ARE INTERESTED.
An interesting question In railroad litigation was
argued before the Court OF Comm0n Pleas at Mari
eta. Ohio. yesterday by c. Elliott Minor. OF the
Ncw-York bar and +. a. Durham. OF GAINESVILLE
Ohio Tho question arose on the foreclosure OF a
mortgage for 81 900 executed by the Toledo and
Ohio Central Extension Railroad Company. This
company was formed In 1855 by the consolidation
OF several railroads One OF the constituent COM
panes was the Marietta Columbus and Northern.
The latter company In 1884 mad executed a mort
gage 10 the Farmers Loan and Trust Company OF
New-York to bonds amounting TO $4,000
This mortgage contained a covenant that tho same
should cover all after-acqured property. After
the consolidation was effected the new company
built an extension the old Marietta roat. and Is
sued two mortgages on the whole road TO secure
bonds 20 the amount OF 100000. All the bonds
secured by these three mortgages were considered
safe inves. niena and very large amount are he'd
by New-York investors. Coffin & Stanton, who sub
squenly failed disastrously. disposed OF most Of the
bonds and interest payable at their office In

vortsements OF any kind OF these firms appeared
In yesterdays papers. and formal notice has been
given that will appear until the papers

Last week the business managers Of the dailes
were Informed that the department-store combina-
ton had arbitrarily decided that advertising rates
must be reduced about 20 per cent. The firms de-
clined into the discussion OF the justice OF
the demand. simply stating that they had given
their utimatum. They control about 80 per cent
Of the city advertising. and believed the papers
must submit TO their dictaton. Notwithstanding
that advertising rates IN Denver lower than In
any other city OF the Same size In the country
The newspapers replied that concession TO the
autocratlc order not only impossible for bust
ness reasons but would destroy the independence
Of the press II the department stores could fix
rates arbitrarily al their pleasure, they could like
wise dictate in all matters Of policy and the papers
would become mere handbs without influence or
sef-respect The first result OF the contest is the
passage Of n resolution by the Trades Assembly
calling on the City Council to impose heavy
license on department stores and warning all mem
bers Of the labor unions against them.
