LORD sACKvILLE's PROBABLE COURSE
WASHINGTON, Nov. There is natura1-
II much speculation here as to the proba-
BILE course Of Lord Sackv1lle, the British
Minister, in the present embarrassing
state of affairs. It was thought the
move most agreeable to him would be
immediate depar ture from Was hington,
but gentleman in position to know said
yesterday afternoon that he did not think
Lord Sackville would be in any hurry to
leave here. He said:
II have not seen the Minister myself,
but a friend Of mine who talked with him
on Tuesday night was told that he did not
contemplate an immediate departure. I
don't think it at all probable that Lord
Sackville will leave here before the cleo
ton"
At the British Minister'S residence per-
feet silence is maintained on the subject
of the Presidents action. What Lord
Sackville's position will be at home will
depend chiefly upon his influence there,
and the disposition of the British towards
this Government II the British Govern
ment determines to sustain him he will
receive an appointment of equal rank to
the one he retires from. He might be
promoted to higher mission. This
would undoubtedly be regarded as in
tended in the nature of a rebuke the ac-
ton of this country.
SINGULAR OUTCOME OF THE ORD SACK
WILL INCIDENT.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Star has the
following:
Within about two weeks an American lady
will be the mistress Of the British Legation at
Washington. This is interesting and curl
Gus outcome of the Lord Sackville controversy.
There is now no British Minister at Washing
ton. That Office became vacant on the notif1ca-
ton OF Lord Sackville that the President would
have no further official communication with
him. This does not leave the British Govern
ment unrepresented here. The attaches of the
Legation are not the Minister'S personal staff,
and his dismissal or recall does not affect their
position. The secretary next in rank to the
Minister at once becomes acting Minister, and
all official communications are through him.
Mr.. Edwardes, the first secretary of the Brit
fsh Legation, is now absent, and is not expect
ed to return for some time. Mr.. Michael Her
bert, recently made second secretary, will be-
come acting Minister until Lord Sackville,s
successor is appointed. or until Mr.. Edwardes
returns. Mr.. Herbert recently arrived from
Europe, and is to be married to Miss Bette
Wilson, Of New York. The BRIDE will thus be-
come the head of the Legation household in
this city as long as Mr.. Herbert is acting Min
lister.
REPRESENTATIVE OPINIONS.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-Representative
WOODBURY., of Nevada, whose attack on
the Administration as being in sympathy
with England was probably the most
savage made in the long tariff debate.
said yesterday, in the course of an ex-
tended inter view, IN referring to the
Sackville trouble:
Lord Saclville merely voiced the sentiments
of the British Government and people. He had
no business to do so, and has been punished for |
it, but that does not affect the fact that the
British do desire Mr.. Cleveland's reelection. |
do not see why Minister Vests letter should |
have caused any SURPRISE except his being so |!
indiscreet to write it. There was no new |
disclosure in the expression of British SYM
pathy with the Democratic policy. Every
paper in England aud Scotland advocates the |
reelection of MIR. Cleveland. They make no
attempt to conceal their preference for him. |
and their desire for some one in the White |
House who will carry out the policy he has laid |
down.
The Star says:
The action of the President in summarily
notifying Lord Sackville that he would no |
longer be recognized as the British Minister |
here is source Of hearty exultation among |
the Democrats. The Presidents party friends |
maintain that he has turned the affair to great |
political account, and that his notice to the |
Irish-Americans.
PERRY BELMONT's VIEWS.
WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-Mr. Belmont
chairman of the House committee on for
eign affairs, who was in W ashington yes
terday, was asked his views on the Sack
Vile incident. He thought Secretary |
Bayard's statement to the President left
little more to be said. But" he added,
81 sincerely trust this will be the last
time that our relations with other gov
ernments will be made an issue il pres
idential canvass. No political party |
ought to be blind to the injury which
must thus result to the position of the
United States abroad. The interests of !
the United States are greater Dad more
important than those of any parry"
A GOOD APPOINTMENT.
WASHINGTON, Nov I.-Tne joint Con-
gressional committee to investigate the
tunnel frauds has selected Colonel
Henry Flad, president of the Board of
Public Works of st. Louis, as one of the
board of expert engineers to prosecute
the investigation of the work in the tun-
mel. Colonel Flad has accepted the po-
sition. Mr.. James NJ. Wilson, of Phila-
delphia, was the first appointment made
on the board. The committee has select
ed third member, but it is understood
tudt uo utS uoL yet SlGulueu LIS esCCepe-
ance.
THE KEARsAGE TO GO TO HAYTI.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The acting Sec
rotary of the Navy has detached Com
mander Allan D. Brown from duty at the
Naval Academy and ordered him to the
command of the United States steamship
Kearsarge, now being repaired at Nor
folk. She will be put in commission as
soon as poss ible and sent to protect
American interests in Hayti, which ar
said to have been endangered by the ac-
ton OF that government in selling and
holding the American steamer Haytien
Republic.
ALTOGETHER WRONG.
WASHINGTON, Nov. With regard to
the published letter purporting to be q
copy of the one transmitted to Lord
Sackvi1le by Secretary Bayard, State
Department official said yesterday: TT
is not copy of the letter. That letter
has not been given to any body from this
aud apparently it has not
been given out by Lord Sackville, for
that alleged copy published is altogether
wrong"
