In secret Publication lie Attacks Ameri-
cans In Public Life and Makes Some
Disclosures That Are Undipiomatie--was
Afraid of Being KILLED.
NEW YORK, Oct 0.-The World today
frints long story sent from London by
ballard Smith. The article says.
An extraordinary and in many respects
Unprecedented publication by British or
ither high diplomat has been quietly but
amazedly discussed during the past fow
days among the foreign representatives to
the court Of -. James and in higher OIL
cial and social circles Of London.
This Is a handsomely printed pamphlet
marked, For private circulation only, "
and entitled, My Mission Co the United
States sl-'s9, - and has Just been issued
by Lord Sackyillc, who, as Sir Lionel
Sackville.SaolSyille West, X. G. M. e., was
the English minister TO Washington for
the period named.
1t will be remembered that President
Cleveland almost on the eve of the elec-
tion Of 1855, sent sir Lionel his passports
because of "a lettor writton by him TO an
alleged Englishmnn in California, com
mentinR upon the approaching election.
This pamphlet Is Lord Sackyille's de-
fense and explanation, after seven years,
OF that incident
But the probably unprecedented part Of
It, and the part which has aroused very
excited comment In the circles named, Is,
first the freedom OF his structures upon
the American people aud American pub
he men, and, second, his own expressed
indignation that the British ministry
should have accepted Mr.. Bayard as en-
bassador to this country, while as sccre-
tary of state of the United States Mr.. Bay
ard had wantonly insulted in person its
accredited representative.
A secret Pamphlet.
The pamphlet consists Of 5a pages
TO- 600 words, and / nm informed is of
very limited issue--not more than 100 cop
les. These have been sent under seal only
TO lending foreign diplomats, the higher
English officials and a few personal
friends.
Lord Sackyille profaces his story with
the following quotation from James An
thony Froude
"Therc arc some practices in the name
Of politics which the historian in the
namo OF morality, is bound to condemn,
which, nevertheless, in this false and con-
fused world, statesmen 70 the end Of time

the influence of the Fcnian organization
exercised over the government and which
was so powerful in both houses Of the
legislature.
The Phoenix park murders occurred the
year of his arrival, and he says that the
crimes act Of 1882 caused an outburst OF
hostile feeling against Her Maiestys gov
ernment which was stimulated by the
press.
Lord Saokyille hero deliberately states
that Lord Granville upon representa-
tions OF Lord Spencer, thon lord lieuten-
ant OF Ireland, and lately in Lord Rose
berys cabinet telegraphed the first assist
ant secretary Of state saying that his, Lord
Saokvlle's, life was in danger and ask
ing for protection.

Accordingly he received his passports
that afternoon. and Mr.. Norbert the sec
und secretary, who married Miss Wilson
Of New York, was made charge d'affaires.
For several more pages he cites in
stances hostile TO Mr. Bayard's contention
that n diplomatic agent must be persona
grata to the government 10 which he is ac-
credited and recalls successive appoint
ments Of Kelley TO Italy and Austria.
He calls Kelley "a notorious southern
demagogue and wire puller. lie refers TO

adds, There is no base action which an
/ American politician will not resort to in
order TO gain an election"
