EDINBURGH, Scotland, March 3d.
Especial to The Advertiser "A bitter
dispute is raging in the Scottish capt
tai over the question of the national
honor. The new Great Seal of Scotland.
which has just been "made in Eng.
land,' has on the diverse side the
Royal Arms of Scotland, in which the
Scottish quarterings are first and fourth,
the English second and the Irish third,
as differing from the Royal Arms of
England, as used by the Sovereign for
all national purposes, which have the
English quarterings first and fourth
and the Scottish second.
On the reverse side of the seal there
is an etfigy of the King, and, in COM
pleting the design, two very small
shields were included, bearing the
ROYAL Arms quartered Englishwise.
1t is these two small shields which
have reused up the storm. The Great
Seal of Scotland is used only for purely
local grants by the Sovereign and the
Scots are wild over this "English I'M
portation," which they regard as a
gratuitous insult to the people north
of the Tweed.
