AN AMERICAN YARN.
London, August 12. A telegram from New York, through Dalziel’s Agency, states that Sir G. R. Dibbs had a violent quarrel with Colonel Campbell, who was commissioned to visit Australia in the interests of the Chicago Exhibition. The quarrel is said to have taken place in a billard-room attacked to the Victorian Motel, in New York. Colonel Campbell on seeing the New South Wales Premier enter the room prepared to welcome him, and approached with outstretched hand. Sir G. R. Dibbs refused the proffered courtesy, remarking that he hid not care a d for their country, and was sorry that he had visited it. Colonel Campbell in a friendly manner invited the colonial premier to visit Washington and Chicago. Sir George replied “ D Chicago. Chicago has caused New South Wales to squander £50,000 through failing to fulfil the promise for space.” Colonel Campbell retorted “ This is news to me, as the directors have provided special measures to satisfy the British colonies.” During the quarrel expletives were frequently used by Sir G. R. Dibbs. The New York papers are discussing the quarrel.
