Comments of English Papers.

LONDON, Oct 2s-The Times Gays: "lt
seems to be certain that the American govern
msnt has taken q step that will render il impos-
sible for Lord Sackviiie to remain ct Washing
ton. We are not prepared TO censurs Lord
Sackville. A British minister. whether at
Washington or elsewhere. must be en- English
gentleman, and he may be forgiven IL he 10
not up to all the dirty tricks of American poll
ticisns. II Americans were not 10 the thick OF
political struggle. it would be impossible that
some OF them should not enter protest against
the undignihed vulgarity and interested unfair
ness shown by both parties
The Daily Telegraph says: Nothing can ex-
cuse the incontinence Of Lord Sackville's pen
except bis transparent good faith and candor.
He cannot. however, after such betise, be al
lowed to embroil the two nations"
The Standard says at would be incorrect to
say that the American government has already
asked for the recall of Lord Sackvie, but il has
taken step little short OF that extreme meas.
IL does not follow that expulsion will be
resorted TO, either at oil or az once. The mat
ter, however, is q delicate one. IL would be
best for Lord Sackyills TO resign IN order to
avoid further unpleasantness."
The Chronicle says: "Tas singular folly OF
Lord SAckville could hardly be matched for 10
discretion, but it IL man fsstly impossible for
the government TO yield 70 pressure such as q
New York paper declares will be applied. When
the excitemeot Is calmed IL may be found nee
essary TO transfer Lord Sackville.7

that il was putup job from the start to entrsp

have no weight even IL it were true, but
