S-- statements made to
The Press by Secretary Bayard and the pub
lished statements of Lord Sackville since the
publication of the correspondence. Both the
president anil Secretary Bayard confidently
expect that Lord Salisbury will see the true
nature of the breach of international courtesy
which the English minister has committed
and recall him. If this is not done within a
reasonable time the administration will con-
slider what next nrlst be done, and from what
Secretary Bayard has said from time to time
it is not unlikely Lord Sackville will be in
formed that he will no longer be recognized
as the representative OF her majesty.
There has been at no time since this con-
troversy commenced the slightest authority
for saying that the state department had
asked for the recall of the minister.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3f--A circular has been

understanding that seems to exist in refer

any attempt to make it appear otherwise is
particularly unfortunate and harmful to the

impossible to discover the person who called
