naturally much speculation to-day as to
the probable course of Lord Sackyille
the British minister, in the present en-
barraSSing state of affairs. 1t was
thought the move most agreeable to
him would be the immediate departure
from Washington, but a gentleman in
position to know. said this afternoon
that he did not think that Lord Sack
vile would be i'll any hurry to leave
here: He said: Il have not seen the
minister myself. but friend of mine
who talked with him last night, was
told that he did not contemplate an i'm
mediate departure. | don't think it at
all probable that Lord Sackville will
leave here before election" At the
British minister's residence, perfect 81
lence is maintained on the subject of
the presidents action. What Lord
Sackyille's position will be at home will
depend chiefly upon his influence there.
and the disposition of the British to-
wards this government, If the British
government determines to sustain him
he will receive an appointment of equal
rank to the one he retires from. He
might be
PROMOTED TO A HIGHER MISSION.
This would be regarded as intended
to rebuke the action of this country.
Within about two weeks an American
lady will be the mistress OF the British
legation at Washington. This is an in
teresting and curious outcome of the
Lord Sackville controversy. There is

That office became vacant Oh the mott
fication of Lord Sackville that the pres
ident would have no further official
communication with him. This does
not leave the British government un-
represented here. The attaches of the
legation are not the minister's personal
staff, and his dismissal or recall does
not affect their position. The secretary
next in rank to the minister at once be-
comes acting minister, and all official
communications are through him. Mr..
Edwardes, the first secretary of the
British legation, is now absent and is
hot expected to return for some time.
Mr.. Michael Herbert, recently made see
ond secretary,
WILL BECOME ACTING MINISTER.

Mir. Herbert recently arrived from
Europe, and is to be married to Miss

ton household in this city as long as
Mr.. Herbert is acting minister. Repre-
sentative WOODBURY., of Nevada, whose
attack on the administration as being in
sympathy with England was probably
the most savage made in the long tariff
debate. said, in referring to the Sack
Vile trouble: Lord Sackyille merely
voiced the sentiments of the British
government and people. He had no
business to do so, and has beenpun-
ished for it, but that does not affect the
fact that the British do desire Mr..
Cieveland'S reelection. / dO not see
why Minister Vests letter should have
caused any surprise, except his being so
indiscreet as to writegit. There was no
new disclosure IN the expression of
British sympathy with the Democratic
policy. Every paper in England and
Scotland advocates the reelection of
Mr. Cleveland they make no attempt
to conceal their preference for him. and
their desire for some one in the White
house who will carry out the
POLICY HE HAS LAID DOWN."
The Star, tonight, says: 'tThe action
of the president in summarily notifying
Lord Sackville that ne would no longer
be recognized as the English minister
here is source of hearty eXultation
among the Democrats. The presidents
party friends maintain that he has
turned the affair to great political ac-
count, and that his notice to the British
minister makes sure the support of the
Irish-Americans.' With regard to the
published letter purporting to be a copy
of the one transmitted to Lord Sack
vile by Secretary Bayard, a state de-
not copy of the letter. That letter has
not been given to anybody from this de-
partment, and, apparently, it has not
been given out by Lord Sackvile. for
that alleged copy published is altogether
wrong -
