Diploma.io Circles stirred On


LONDON, October 27.!The Sackville letter
incident has caused considerable stir in Dip
lomatic circles. Mr.. Phelps, the United
States minister, has gone to Hatfield house,
Lord Salisbury's country residence In Hert-
fordshire. to eco Lord Salisbury. He called
first at the foreign Office, and finding the
primo minister gone, he immediately fol-
lowed him to his country seat It is said
that Lord Salisbury favored the retirement
OF Lord Sackville. The om,ials at the
United States legation are extremely rssio-
emit on the subject Of the Sackville affair.
G. A. White, first secretary of legation. when
questioned about the matter declined to
talk.
NIB. PHELPS VISITS HATFIELD HOUSE.
LONDON, October n.-Lord Salisbury re-
NAMED at Hatfield house, to-day. He re-
ceived several cable dispatches from Lord
Sschville, British minister at Washington,
admitting the facts in connection with the
Murchin letter saying that he regretted
them. A number of dispatches from Score
tary Bayard were forwarded to Lord Sails
bury in which the secretary urged that IN
view Of the coming national election in the
United States it was imperatively necessary
representative at Washington in order to
calm the popular excitement.
Mr.: Phelps, and Mrs. Phelps visited Hat
field house this afternoon and will be guests
of Lord SALISBURY until Monday. Mr..
Phelps enlarged upon the necessity Of
prompt action on the part of the British
government in order to repair the evil. Mr..
Phelps made special point that BY reciting
Murchison as British subject entitled to
advance, disputed the fact that he stated In
his letter that he was a naturalizsd citizen
of the United States. Lord Sackville
had disregarded and violated the
understanding of 1871, when the
secretary Of state obtained from the Eng
lish government recognition Of the Amer
lean doctrine of naturalization. Lord Sal
isbury admitted that this was most e.
rious point Of view of Lord Ssckville's con-
duct. The matter is more annoying to-
Lord Salisbury. inasmush as Lord Sack
ville's appointment was attributed to the
wife of the late Marquis of Salisbury, and
who has since been married to the present
Earl of Derby,

1.-THE Sun" ON tho Situation

New YORK, November GA midnight
extra of the Sun says: The returns SO far a.
received make it seem proable that Harri-
son has carried New York state by from
1900 to 10000 plurality. Cleveland has
poiled q handsome vote in New York city.
he has not held his own in Kings county.
His plurality there is about II 600, which is
. loss of about 900 on the vote of 1884,
cams In almost every section show great
gains. If ths proportion that is now 70
ceived keeps up Harr son will come to the
Harlem river with from $1,000 to $500
plurality. At this hour, however, the most
favorable returns are customarily received,
and later returns will be likely to reduce
that plurality somewhat. However, unless
there is decided change from the reports Of
come to the Harlem with over
$1,000 plurality. We cannot now figure at
over 72,00J or 5000 plurality for Cleveland
In the city. No decisive returns have yet
been received as to the governorship, but
the indications are that Governor Hill has
been reelected. He runs ahead OF Cleve-
land In all quarters that have been heard
from. The vote on the local ticket has been
only partially counted, but so far u indi-
Gates the election of the Tammsny ticket.
OF the o-called pivotal states the reports
from Connecticut indicate the election OF
the Harrison ii. kst by from 200 to 1000.
Tho later returns from New Haven cut this
down somewhat.
