A very considerable disagreement has been reported from Victoria House, the government house of Great Britain at Jackson Park, between Royal Commissi ners James Dredge and Walter H. Harris on the one hand, and Sir Henry Trueman Wood, the Secretary of the Commission, on the other. Fora time the trouble confined itself to questions of authority, dignity, and precedence. The relative standing of the officials was in dispute among themselves, and on several occasions there were strong breaches of friendship. Then the constant protests from the public over the method of entertaining visitors at Victoria House began into the papers, and some of the Commissioners desired to keep open house, while others were not willing. Every other building of a foreign government, every building of a State, every building of a private concern, big or little, made every visitor welcome, and was a place of constant resort. Out of all of them, the British building was the only one which refused to admit the public. Tickets of admission could be obtained by writing to the Secretary of the Commission, several days in advance, but the thousands who wanted to make " casual it, had no time todo that. Englishmen visiting or residing in Chicago begun to send protests to the home government, and to the newspapers, and last week's concession was made. Since then, the doors have been. open from 11 till 3. But once in the building, a path marked by rope bulwarks guarded the house from being investigated by the curiosity seeker, and all who entered were compelled to pass from front to rear without delay, and so out again. Now the English here are more indignant than ever and if somethin, is not done to change, the row in the Britis Commission will be irreparable. Except for this, amity reigns.
