Diplomatic Circles stirred On

LONDON, October 27.-The SackvilIe letter
incident has caused considerable stir in dip
Lomauc circles. Mr.. Phelps, the United
States minister, has gone to Hatfield house,
Lord Sallsbury's country residence in Hert-
fOrdshire, to see Lord Salisbury. He called
first at the foreign Office, and finding the
prime minister gone, he Immediately fol-
lowed him to ms country seat. 1t Is said
that Lord Salisbury favored the retirement
of Lord Sackvilie. The officials at the
United States legation ara extremely retic-
ent on the subject of ths Saczville affair.
q. A. White, hrst secretary Of legation, when
questioned about the matter declined to
talk.
MR.. PHELPS VISITS HATFIELD HOUSE.
LONDON, October R.-Lord Salisbury re-
NAMED at Hatfield house, to-day. He re-
ceived several cable dispatches from Lord
SachVlle, British minister at Washington,
admitting the facts in connection with the
Murchln letter saying that hs regretted
them. A number OF dispatches from S6cre-
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 1t was imperatiVely necessary
that there should be a change in the British
calm the popular excitement.
Mr.. Phelps, and Mrs. Phelps visited Hat
held 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 reclting
Murchison as a 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 SackYile
had disregarded and violated the
understanding of 1871, when the
secretary of state obtained from the Eng
lish government a rec ignition Of the Amer
lean doctrine of NATURALIZATION. Lord Sa l.
isbury admitted that this was a most Sc
rious pOiut Of view of Lord SaczviIle's con
duct The matter Is more annoying to
Lord Salisbury. inasmuch as Lord Sack

influence of his sister, who was the second
wife of the late Marquis of Salisbury, and
who has since been married to the present
