rare event for q foreign Minister to he request
cd to leave his post in such abrupt and unnis-
taxable language rs was addressed to Lord
esekville by President Cleveland's direction
to-day. The action OF the President has cre-
ated great sensation. and 1t Is safe to cay that
not a man in the United States was 30 thor.
oughly surprised as was he who received the
communication from the State Department.
Lord Snckyille wss utterly dumfounded. and
has not yet recovered his eauanimity. Tho
surprise which he feels 10 even greater than
that experienced by the Republicans hero.
They could hardly believe that the news was
truc, but becoming convinced OF Its authentict-
~, they wore compelled to admit that the
President had taken step that would not only
be applauded by every true American. but that
would add greatly to his chances Of reelection.
Il Is quite probable that II all tho Democrats
Of any prominence were not out OF the city

town Is almost deserted 90 far as politicians
are concerned. The few who happen to be In
town are 90 utterly astonished at the Presi-
dents action that they can hardly talk OF 1t In
q rational manner. The streets have been

Offices have been crowded ever since the news
rot out, and everybody asks the same ques-
tion: well. how will this affect the political
situation 2" and the question 10 always an
swered according to the political bias OF tho
person addressed.
Before noon to-day there was uncertainty
and expectancy everywhere in Washington,
and. although there were no outward signs to
indicate 1t, there was q general feeling that
when tho Cabinet meeting should adjourn
there would be some interesting news. The
White House and the State Department were
besieged nll day with newspaper correspond
ents, but tho President would not be seen.
Secretary Dayard looked hurried and said he
had no statement to mako. and Col.
Dan Lamont retired to downstairs
room in the White House and did

Mcmillan came out of the Presidents room
looEinR as II he know something, but, II he did,
he would not admit It. simply saying OF his in
teryiew that the President would take what
ever steps were necessary to vindicate the
honor OF this Government. At 2 o'clock. after
the Cabinet meeting. the rumor was again
started that something tremendous was In the
air, and at the note which has since set the
whole world talking was sent to Lord Saokville.
Even then the public knew nothing Of what
was taking place. but o little later Secretary
Bayard announced that he would have state
ment to make at 4 o'clock. At fifteen minutes
to the crowd Of newspaper reporters, who had
been waiting in the Secretary's Office since
o'clock, received copies Of the important docu-
ments that had been carefully but rather
hastily prepared. By that time most people
had gone home to dinner. and 1t was not until
late In the evening that the news was spread
about town that Lord 6ackville Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary Of her
Britannia Majesty to the United States. had
been requested to 90 back to England.
