Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
LONDON, November 1T is stated in
Government circles that the Sackville
incident is considered ended. Sackville
has not yet advised the Government as
to the date of his return. 1t is possible
come time may elapse before a new
Minister will be sent to Washington
American circles here are anxious that
Duferin be appointed to the post.
AMERICAN COUSINS.
The Globe says: Unhappily for America
in one sense, happily in another, the
character of the ministerial and journal
istic bluster during election is compre-
hended by politicians OF the same sort.
better even than among the best informed
persons here. 1t is understood as a por-
tion of great sham which everybody
sees through, but in which, nevertheless,
everybody affects to believe. Whichever
party scolds England loudest will win.
Lord Salisbury preserved England's dig
nifty by not indulging Mr.. Bayard's 8 desire
to hurry over what is only piece of cleo
ton strategy. AS far as England is con-
cerned the matter is over. Our only
cause of shame is that those we call
cousins are capable of such short sighted
folly. Both of the leaders chosen, work
upon what ever anti-English feeling ex-
lists and bids for it by competitive blus-
ter. If Mr.. Cleveland is reelected he
will be President whose Secretary of
State sent the British Minister his pass
port and snapped his fingers IN the face
OF Downin street. 1t will be perilous
character he will have earned, but it will
have to be maintained.
THE EAGLE sCREECHlNG.
The ST. James Gazette, referring to the
action of the United States in the case
OF Lord Sackville, says: 1t will be most
creditable to English good sense if Secre-
tary Bavard's insolence is treated with
contempt. The American eagle is "a
screechin". Let him .screech. We are
not exactly prepared to send ironclads to
Long Island because Bayard is outra-
geously offensive. Respectable Ameri-
cans who stand-in neither with Cleve-
land nor Harrison are nearly as much
disguised with the affair as Englishmen
are.
BLAMFs IT ON wIRE-PULLERs.
The Poll Mall Gazette expresses the
hope that the ire of the Democratic wire
pullers is now assuaged. Cleveland
could do no more without throwing Lord
Sackville into Jail. What silly business
it is, all through The British consola-
ton is that President Cleveland eclipses
Lord Sackville's indiscretion. 1t is one
thing to be tricked into making slip in
private, but it is quite a different thing
to plunge headlong into the abyss of folly
and ill-temper. We owe Cleveland
thanks for showing that the silliest man
ID Washington was not born in England.
BAYARD PUTS 1T STRONG.
The Star IT. P. O'Connor's paper
says Bayard puts it pretty strong. The
to satisfy him is so urgent, that Cleve-
land cannot wait until Salisbury takes
action. The incident furnishes fresh
evidence OF the paramount influence of
the Irish vote in Anglo-American poll
tics.
HOSTILITY TO CLEVELAND.
New YORK, November 1.-The Worlds
Toronto special says: "In Dominion
Government circles opinion is generally
hostile to Cleveland for giving Sackville
Ills Walking papers. IrOI. UOluW1n Sm1tn
says Sackville's letter was a palpable
blunder, and that his usefulness is ended.
The Canadian Liberals take similar
grounds. Sackville's dismissal is con-
sidered an act of the grossest unfriendli-
ness to Great Britain. At the St. James
Club, several Orange politicians said it
warranted the Orange leaders in Canada
to advise Orangemenint in the United States
to vote for Harrison.
The report that Sir Charles Tupper
would be appointed in Sackville's place
is altogether discredited.
A GERMAN CRITICISM.
BERLIN, November 1.-The National
Zeit,tng reviews the Sackville affair, and
comments on the frivolity with which
international difficulties are provoked by
political factions in America.
