 London. Sept 25.--General indigna- tion has been aroused here by dis, pute betw cen the postoffcs authorities and the mana gement of the London & Northwestern railroad over bhe pay ment for the transpor tation of mails, by which the American mails have been seriously delayed at Liverpool when, under exceptional cil.cum- stances, they have not been landed at Queenstown,
 It appears that the railroad disputes its liabtlity to carry to London a larger portion of the Atlantic mail than can be slowed away in an ordin- afy boat train without extra pay ment. The recent arrival of the Um- bria's mail brought matters to a head the railroad officials refusing to for ward the surplus bags until the post office agreed to pay the cost Con- fronted unexpectedly with this ulti- ma tum the postoffice complied under protest On the arrival of the Etruria September 19. the railroad took up a similar stand, but on this occasion the postal authorities stubbornly declined fo comply with the conditions Con- sequenfly, hundreds of mail bags brought by the Etrllria were left at Liverpool and were forwarded to Lon don in small numbers. as the accommo- datlon of the postal cars of the ordin- ary trains permitted. the last portion of the Etruria's s malls not leaving Liy- erpool until Monday.
