PRESS COMMENTS.
The Sun will say editorially of Lord
SackvilIe's recall: eff Mr.. Cleveland, in
his treatment of this annoying incident.
has erred, it has been on the side of
oYer-deliberation, and yet 1t may be
thought that the humiliation of the
British government is greater since it
failed to take advantage of the ioophole
of escape offered by Mr.. Cleveland, and
its minister is not recalled by it, but
warned to quit by the government to
which he is accredited. Mr.. Cleveland
ment of Mind your own business and
future English ministers to this country
will probably stick to it,
THE times"
The Times: 1.-THE incident is ended
in a manner altogether creditsble to the
administration at Washington, and
with the least possible ham. There is
only one way in which it is likely now

is through the contempt it must excite
for the party which in all probability
put up the whole scheme for campaign
effect. There is nothing more to be
deprecated in our politics than the
assumption that there are classes of
voters whose action ia to be determined
By appeals to prejudices, founded on
national distinctions that have not
legitimate connection with our own
affairs"
THE POST"
The Post reporter, tonight, put the
following question to Secretary Bay
ard: "Have you ever. at any time.
formally requested or demanded of the
British government the recall of Lord
Sackville:" The Secretary replied:
mo, no, positively no. All statements
to that effect are absolutely and I'M
qualitiedly untrue. We forwarded to
the British government the facts in the
case. The President waited what he
considered to be q sufficient length of
action, and finding the British govern
in the matter, decided, in view of the
to-day"
AT THE BRITISH LEGATION.
At the British legation this evening,
access was refused to all newspaper
men, and they were informed that
Lord Sackville had nothing to say to
the Associated Press. A reporter man
aged to have a copy of the report of
Secretary Bayard to the President sent
to the minister. Lord Sackville in
person returned the copy to the wait
ing reporter, and cordially expressed
his thanks for having had an opportu-
nifty to read the rep ort, which, ne said,
ne had not seen before. He de-
oiued to express any opinion on it,
saying, II have nothing to say"
Lord Sackville's face. as he said this,
wore pleasant smile, and he did not
seem in the least disturbed at the turn
affairs had taken. Secretary Bayard,
when seen tonight, said there was
nothing he could say in addition to
what was stated in his report to the
President. The governments action
constituted complete severance of our
relations with Minister West. Secretary
Bayard declined absolutely to give out
anything in regard to the spirit in
which the communications from the
United, States were received by the
British government.
THE TRIBUNE"
The Tribune: "A prompt rebuke ad-
ministered the instant Lork Sackville
was discovered meddling in our cleo
ton might have caused people in their
satisfaction with such main tenance of
executive dignity to overlook the fact
that the British minister was electioneer-
ing in Cleveland's interest. because he
