was expressed at the British legation yester-

senate. The secretary of the. legation said
that he could not imagine how it had gotten
out. He. supposed If all the members Of the
senate were provided with copies it would be
difficult matter to keep it away from the

custom and good faith to make such q mat
ter public prematurely. They had no idea it
would get out SO soon, and regretted IL ex-
ceedingly.
