Murcnl son for several weeks psst had
been on tie mcst intimste terms with
them. The former repeatedly referred
to the politicIl thunder esp. about 70
ofesk over the Democratic party, ont It
was only after the publication OF Vests
letter that thew made any admission re-
gIrdiDg II. 1t then trsnspired that tha
letter was re'lly written by Murchison St
the dic.ation OF Count Msnzener and Mr.
Flnney. Five letters in all were ed-
, dressed to prominent men in the east.
The British Minister wss the ONLY one
who replied, Mr.. Burgess says he does
not understand why the names of the
originntors Of the scheme had not been
learned before this.
THE INCIDENT ENDED.
LONDON, Nov. The St. James Ga
zstte referring to the action Of the United
States government In the case OF Lord
Sackvllle, ssVs: TIT would be m1ss
creditsble to English good sense IL Secre-
tary Bsyard's insolence is treated with
contempt. The American esgle is screech-
ing, let him scfeech. We are not exsctly
prepared to send iron clads to Long
Island because Mr. B,ysrd Is outrageous
ly offensive. Respec liable Americans who
stand neither with Mr.. Cleveland nor Mr..
Harrison, are nearly IS much disguised
with the STAIR as Ea glishmen sre."
Ii 1s stated that In government circles
1t is considered that the S.ckville incl
dent Is ended Lord Sickville' has not
yet advised the government IS to the dste
OF his return. II Is possible that some
time may elspse before the new Minister
Is sent TO Washington. American circles
mere ara ANXIOUS that Lord Duferin
should be appointed to the pest.
The Pail Nall Gszatte expresses hope
that the ire of the Democratic wires
pullers is aesuaged. Mr.. Cleveland could
do no Eore without throwing Lord Sack
vile into sill. Whist silly business i! is all
through. The British consolation>is that
the folly OF President Cleveland eclipses
Lord Sickville's indiscretion. 1t is one
thing to be tricked into Masking g slip in
private, but it Is quite different thing
10 plunge besdiong into sn abyss CT
folly and i!l-tempay. We owe Mr.. Cleve-
LAND thanks for showing that the silliest
man in Washington Wss not bora in
England.
