Of Washington "that the violent express
sions which certlin proiessed American
citizens have given utterance TO since the
dynamite explosion in London may disturb
the otherwise amicable relations existing
between her Maiesty's Government and

tial and deducible only from the re-
luctance, or rather the positive refusal.
