Liverpool. July 1S.-A graceful com
pliment was paid the United States il
the remarkably sympathetic reception
tc Whitelaw Reid. the special corona
ton envoy, in Liverpool yesterday. Hi

The little daughter of j. y. Stoiter-

| scented bouuet of roses to Mrs. Reid
and as her father and grandfather stooS
presented in an act symbolizing the
commercial good feeling between Liv-
lerpool and New York.
The dinner OF the American Chambe,

/ in the evening ut the Adeiphi hotel. II
was a feast of international good feel
ing and the most conspicuous decora-
I ton of the hall WAS a portrait of James

representing America in England for
over forty years. Consul General Evans
and Consul Boyle, who We're present,
might we'll have been encouraged by
this object lesson in. the permanence OF
consular dignity in the olden days.
Mr.. Reid was received with rounds
of applause and With hearty singing.
His speech made a deep impression
and was followed from beginning to end
with the closest possible attention. His
first point WAS a grateful note of APP
probation for the tribute paid to Roose-
Welt whom all America delighted to
honor, and after it came Il reference to
the late Lord Pauncefote.
There was intense curiosity when
Morgan's name was mentioned. and
after the delicate subject of the ship
ping interest had been dealt with in u
common sense way there was hearty
applause when the conclusion was
reached that the safety of Il neutral
fleet was not imperied by combina-
tons. and that the solidarity of the
Anglo Saxon race would prevail in the
moral progress of the world.
The speech abounded in tactful ref
erences TO the municipal efficiency OF
the government and the commercial
stability of Liverpool and was received
with unmistakable evidence of appreci-

ut the close with chorus of braves
In that part of his speech touching
Morgan and shipping. Mr. Reid said:
If you have sustained the threat

terrors of Mr.. Morgan. 1t is not for
me to speak for that most capable man,
or for the great masses of capital that
ne directs and the great enterprises,
largely American, which he represents,
Still less would 1 think Of venturing an
opinion as to the wisdom or unwsdom
Of the huge combinations he is organ
iZiEg, or as to their desirability for in
vestors, their safety for the business /
world, or their effect either on national
interests, or international relations /
but as Il mere onlooker venture to |

In no case does your power to Sc
