WAsHINaToN, November 1.--By the action
OF the government Lord Saskville is no
longer the recognized minister, and the first
secretary OF the British legation naturally
becomes the official representative. Mr..
Edwards, the first secretary, isabsent and
will not return for some time. 30 Michael
Herbert, the second dsecretary isnow acting
secl etary.
LONDON, November 1.-The Press Asso-
ciation announces that Lotd Sackville
comes to England immediately on leave Of
absence, that he has Important business to
attend to in connection with the succession
to the Sackville estate and Will not return
to Washington.

ToRoNTo, November LIN dominion
government circles the opinion generally is
hostile TO Cleveland for giving Sackville his
walking papers. Prof. Goldwin Smith
says Sackville's letter was q palpable
blunder, and that his usefulness il ended.
The Canadian liberals take similar
grounds.
Sackville's dismissal is considered an act
Of great unfriendliness to Great Britain.
At the st. James club several Orange poll
ticians said it fully warranted the Orange
leaders in Canada in advising all Orange
men in the UnitedStates to vote for Harrison
The report that Sir Charles Tupper will
be appointed in Sackville's place is alto
Canadian Premier at Sherbrooke said:
Directly criticising any action OF the
President OF the United States is not one
of my weaknesses, but il you want to
know what think OF the condition OF
things brought on by Lord Sackville's in
1 will say tits deplorable and un-
to the last degree. The Democratic and
Republican parties, and their representa-
tives in power, know that trouble with
Canada could be made powerful political
factor il judiciously used"
"Do you think, with Lord Sackville, that
President Cleveland is very friendly to
HARRISON FRIENDLY TO ENGLAND.
81 don't believe Lord Sackville thinks
that, but believe were Harrison president
he would be just as friendly for the sake of
comfy and a peaceful SETTLE
ment OF international questions. Cleve-
land is just as friendly to England as he is
to Holland, the Hawaiian islands or Siam;
no more, no leas.
MORE BRITISH GRowLING AT CLEVELAND.
LONDON, November lit is stated that.
in government circles, it is considered that
the Sackville incident is ended. Sackvllle
has not as yet advised his government as
to the date OF his return. Possibly some
time m ~ elapse before a new minister is
sent to Washington. American circles are
anxious to have Duferin appointed to the
post.
The "Pall Mall Gazette" expresses the
hope that the ire OF the Democratic wire
pullers are now assuaged. Cleveland could
do no more without throwing Lord Sackville
into Jail. What silly business it is all
through. British consolation is that
President Cleveland eclipses Lord Sack
ville's indiscretion. 1t is one thing to be
tricked into making a slip, and another
thing to plunge headloDg into an abyss OF
Jolly and i'll temper. We owe Cleveland
thanks for showing the silliest man in
not born in England"
GRowIING MORE AND MORE.
The STANDARD" has this comment: "The
text OF Mr.. Bayard's letter forbids all
Iurther hope that the object oi the United
States government was not to do an offen-
sive thing in q most offensive way. Mr..
Cleveland has done to our minister what
British statesmanship would hesitate, save
for great cause, to do to the representative
of the smallest state in the world. He de-
graded our minister before expelling him."
The STANDARD" hints as to whether the
affair does not involve rendering to Minis
ter Phelps his passports, although, it says,
it would be sorry to lose 30 excellent a
guest.
The st. James "Gazette" says: "1twould
be most creditable to English good sense
that Secretary Bayard's insolence be
treated with contempt. The American
eagle is screeching. Let him screech. We
are not exactly prepared to send ironclads
to Long Island because Bayard is out
offensive. Respectable Ameri-
cans who stand in neither with Cleveland
nor Harrison, are nearly aS much disgusted
with the affair as Englishmen."
The London Times" says: "a more
ridiculous spectacle rarely has been wit
messed than the furried and unmannerly
haste with which America has endeavored
TO pat q slight on England before the latter
could deal with the matter one way or the
other. Mr.. Bayard has had the satisfac'
tien of proving to the world that he can
be as lcontemptuously djsregardful OF the
decencies OF International intercourse and
the dignity OF the nation he represents as
Mr.. Blaine himself"
BERLIN, November 1.-The National
Zeitung' reviews the Sackville affair, and
comments on the frivolity with which in
ternational difficulties are provoked by
political factions in America.
