EnrIand walt. for AmerIoa o Ael.

LONDON, Oct 3l.-From the outset Lore
Sackville's friends here have urged Salisbury
to take no action for his recall, but to let the
initiative come from Washington. They ar.
gued that a recall by the British government
would be a more serious rebuke than LORD
Sackville deserved under tho circumstances
and would kill his political career; but If he
resigned or came home because his presenc
was no longer desirable in America, il woulc
not interfere with his subsequent advance
ment here. The reported appointment of Sin
Charles Tupper is not given serious consider
alton on this side Of the water, aud is simply
attributed to a few of Sir Charles friends IN
Canada. No one at the foreign Office knows
anything about it, and the only information
to be obtained there is that Lord Salisbury
has taken no official action in the matter
He has not even expressed an opinion foi
publication, and refuses to do so.
