proceeding. Even those who formerly up
held Milan in his demands as a sovereign,
consider that he should have been satisfied
with his victory, and not place himself in a
position for the evoking of more hostile
criticism on his conduct by gratifying his
feelings for revenge.
1t is no secret in Servia that the majority
of the clergy, and indeed the mass of his sub
jects were not in sympathy with the unaw-
full desires of King Milan Natalie was uni
versally beloved, and, on the contrary, Milan
is not at all popular. The Metropolitan was
obliged to the bidding of the king, as it
seems that the laws Of Servia permit the
sovereign to put away his wife upon the
statement that their union is Incompatible
These laws apply to the sovereign only and
upon these barbarous and autocratc princi-
pals Milan based his demand for dissolution
of his marriage.
Much feeling was aroused in Servia by the
kings unprincipled efforts to rid himself Of
Natalie, Of whom the Servians knew no evil,
and the dismissal of Bishops Nicanor and
Demetrius has only added fuel TO the fame.
The people recognize in these prelates of the
church champions of the right, and their
sympathies go out to them in connection
with the humiliation OF the queen they
loved.
Natalie has made her final appeal to the
patriarch of Constantinople, but it is doubt
full if he will deem it his duty to interfere in
the Servlan royal quarrel.

Two More Weeks of the Centennial at
Twenty Five Cents Admission.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 27-Centennial guar

to extend the centennial two weeks at
twenty-five cents admission.
There was a large number Of guarantors
present, probably three-fourths of all who
subscrsbed. President Stephens, Of the cham
Der of commerce, called the meeting to
order.
He stated that the commissioners had
made splendid exposition, and they would
continue to do their part il the guarantors
th puld say that the show ought to be ex-
tended. He stated that the daily cx penses
had been So, 600 at first, but had been gotten
down TO between 81 800 and 81 100, and the
commissioners were now economizing every
nickel.
A. &. Horton thereupon offered n resolu-
tion to the effect that the exposition be
continued till November Is inclusive at
twenty-five cents admission. This received
several seconds.
Mr. Lowenstein offered an amendment
opening the show on Sundays
Capt Holloway added an amendment to
close on Tuesday night, November q election
night, and also to keep open portion of it

New YORK, Oct 27.-The Herald Wash

ing account of an interview he had with
Secretary Bayard concerning the letter
written by the British minister in reference
to the presidential election:
Permit me to ask, Mr.. Secretary, what
effect the published correspondence will
have upon the presidential canvassin

deliberation, that the persons vino dug the
pit for Lord Sackville to fall into will find it
a costly experiment believe its effect will
be reactionary. do not think that any SEN
sible or fair minded man can be influenced
by it. So far as the presidential campaign is
concerned have no fear. What to me is in
explicable is the ease with which Lord Sack
vile allowed himself to be drawn into the

key said; ''It is possible that such thing
might have happened him."

The transfer of Sackville would also be
entirely agreeable to the department of

The Herald correspondent also called upon
Lord Sackvile. During an interview the
minister said that in his view Of the matter,
it was absurd to say that the minister of
foreign country may not at proper times and
in proper ways express himself in his private
character touching the political affairs of
the couutry.n
With regard to the minister's remark that
1t is of no consequence to any interest with
whfeh he is charged, how the electors vote
at the approaching election, he was reminded
that one Of the most persistent arguments
used against the Mills tariff bill was that it
would open a market to British manufac-
turers now shut out from competition with
domestic products by the existing tariff, and
that, if this were true, it would seem to be
the interest OF Great Britain that that party
should succeed which was supporting the
new tariff bill
To this Lord Sackvile replied that he
could not presume to add any light or
strength to what Sir Lyon Playfair ald Mr..
Gladstone have so often told the British
manufacturers, that the limitation of their
American market by the industrial policy
of the United States is made up to them in
much greater measure by the absence Of
American competition in the other markets
OF the world.
He believes he could say that while cer-
tain special lines of manu- acture might find
temporary or limited advantage in lower
tariff, the general hope of British manufac-
turers is that their American cousins will
stick to their home market, and leave the
rest of the world to Great Britain and the
on-American rivals she already has

II Cleveland was pursuing new policy to-
ward Canada, temporarily only, and for the
sake of obtaining popularity and continue
ton in office four years more, but intends to
cease his policy when his re election is Sc
cured in November, and again favor En-
glands interest, then l should have no fur
ther doubts, but go forward and vote for
him.
me, sir, and l most respectfully ask your ad-
vice in the matter will further add that
the two men, Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Harri-
son, are evenly matched, and few votes
may elect either one. Mr.. Harrison is a
high tariff man. Il believer on the American
side of all questions, and undoubtedly an
enemy to British interests generally. This
state is equally divided between the parties,
and Il mere handful OF our naturaized
countrymen can turn it either way. When
it is remembered that small state, Color
ado, defeated Mr. Tilden in 1876 and elected
Hayes, the Republican, the Importance of
California is at once apparent to all.
"As you are at the fountain head of
knowledge of the question, and know
whether Mr.. Clcvelanu's present policy is
temporary only, and whether he WILL as
soon as ne secures another term of four
years in the presidency, suspend it for one
of friendship and free trade, l apply to you
privately and confdentially FOR information
which shall in turn be treated as entirely
secret. Such information would put me at

to assure many of our countrymen that they
would do England service by voting for
Cleveland and against the Republican sys

sooner it comes will better serve true En-
giishmen in casting their votes. Yours very
