My Lord Goes to England
"On Leave of Absence"
THE VARIOUS PRESS COMMENTS
Silence at the British Legation-Alf
Journals Agree thas Lord Sack
Vile Made . Serious Blunder.

SRGKVllle IS no longer recognized as
minister. and the first secretary of the
British legation naturally becomes the
official representative. Mr.. Edwards
the first secretary, is absent, and will
not return for some time, so Michael
Herbert, second secretary, is now act
ing minister.
At the Britifh legation silence is main
tanned. Lord Sackville refused to see
anyone to-day, and the members of the
legation seen said all was uncertainty
about his departure from Washington.
THE CANADIAN PREMIER.
Sir John Mcdonald, Canadian Pre-
mier at Sherbrook, said: ITO directly
critic any acGion of the President of
the United States is not one of my
weaknesses, but if you want to know
what think Of the condition of affairs
brought about by Lord Sackville's in
discretion, | will say it is unfortunate
and deplorable to the last degree. The
Democratic and Republican Parties and
their representatives and those in power
know that trouble with Canada could

that. but l believe were Harrison Pres

the sake of international commerce and
a peaceful settlement of international
questions, as Cleveland is. Cleveland is
just as friendly 10 England as Holland,
the Hawaiian Islands or Siam; no more
or less"

+ ENGLISH COMMENTS.
The Pull Mall Gazette SAYS: iii
Secretary Bayard's rebuke of Lord
Sackville fails to convince the Irish
voters that President Cleveland can be
relied upon to check John Bull as much
as any other man, we do not see what
there is left for him TO do short of
placing Lord Sackvills under arrest
and escorting him to the frontier. How
silly it all seems! How much the
Americans will despise themselves
when the election fever is over for it,"
st. jones Gazette: "As Lord Sack
vile is technically in the wrong, Eng
land cannot resen: the affront which
Mr.. Bayard has put on it. English
men can only pity American States
men for the strange things they do in
order to oblige caucuses."
The Globe: The uncourteous an
nouncement might create very strained
relations between the two countries.
Fortunately its true character is recog-
nized on both sides. Lord Ssckville
has been subjected to unmannerly
treatment by both Mr.. Bsyard and
President Cleveland. If the minister
Cieveland's ambition to be elected
President for the second time scars far
above the requirements oi;international
courtesy ana good will.
The Daily NelOs says: Lord Sack
' AAO may NO SNL6Aoso1obO0 upOA lay
ing involved his country in the most
serious misunderstanding with Amer
lea that has occurred since the settle
ment of the Alabama claims. There
was not much IN the letter, but he
might have at least held his tongue af.
forwards. He has succeeded in making
bad worse, and has deepened the i'm
preston, previously very slight,
that he intended to charge the
American government with insincer-
ity in international dealings:
that is an accusation which, even if
true, no high spirited people would en-
dure from representative of foreign
power"
The NeOS r'grets Mr.. Bayard's a1-
parent lack OF courtesy, and thinks
Lord Salisbury has shown a want of
judgment. He ought to have acted
promptly. No one, it says, except
Mr.. Cleveland emerges from the quarrel
very creditably.
The Post says: Political necessities
are too strong for public men in Amer
lea, hence the Presinent was driven to
offer an afront to Minister Sackyille
and the friendly country he represents.
Daily s1eIegraph: We confess our
selves, however, far too much the
friends of America to enjoy the spec
tacle of its government being driven by
an Ignoble trick and election howl |
to heave their good manners and great /!
principles overheard and adopt course
which, in private life, would be called |
BY painful names.
The Times: "a more ridiculous spec
tscle has rarely been witnessed than
the Hurried and unmannerly haste with |
which America has endesvored to put
4 slight upon England before the latter
could deal with the matter one Way or
he other. Mr.. Bayard has had the
of proving to the world that
ne can be as contemptuously disregard
ul of the decencies OF international in
;ercourse and dignity as Mr.. Blaine
himself.
The Standard: 1.-THE text of Mr..
Bayard's letters forbid all further hope
hat the object of the United States
government was not to do an offensive
Thing in the most offensive way. Mr.. |
Cleveland has done to our minister
What British craftsmanship would hesi--
tate, save for grave cause, to do to
