1t May Cause His Recall, 1t Is Said
Press Comment.
LONDON, Dec 2O.--A dispatch to the
Standard from Washington asserts that
ambassador Bayard's speech at the dinner
of the Actors Benevolent Fund on Wednes-
day evening (Which was reported In the
cable dispatches on Wednesday,, has Of
Tended both President Cleveland and Sec
retary Olney, and is likely to be the osten-
sible cause of his recall. The st. James
Gazette expresses the opinion that the
speech of the United States ambassador
Mr.. Thomas T. Bayard, at the dinner of the
Actors Benevolent Fund, last evening, was
Everything that could be friendly, passion
ately, patheticaly friendly to this country
But the st. James Gazette says, ''unfor-
tunately. he is himself under cloud as re-
CARDS the American public"
All the newspapers here continue to print
long editorials, based on what they call the
apparent subsistence of the jngo fever in
America, and on the GOODNESS displayed in
the Senate over the discussion of the mat
ter. The Standard Conservative embraces
the opportunity to sound the praises of the
second chamber as necessary constitu-
tional check, without which the tumutuous
vote of the House of Representatives might
place the executive in a position from which
an honorable and pacific retreat would have
been difficult. Meantime" concludes the
Standard, the cordial respect and good will
which Great Britain entertains for Amer
lean genius outside the pale of electioneer-
ing politics will not be impaired
Inc financial article in the Times predicts
that the evil effects of President Cleve-
lands action in the Venezuela matter on
the financial position Of America will be
serious and protracted, while the deple-
ton of the treasury's gold will continue
for a long time.
The Daily News QiberaD says that the
common sense of the American people has
reasserted itself.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
News says: "Some papers here EXPRESS
the fear that America will use the Monroe
doctrine as a detriment to European COM
merce with the South American republics"
The Post, the government organ, saws
that Americas interference in Venezuela
VIII inJure German commerce. AT the
Venezuelan legation here the active as
sistance Of the United States is not firmly
reckoned upon.'
The afternoon newspapers yesterday all
contained long editorial articles on the
Venezuelan question, the general tenor of
their utterances being the same as the
previous day, though all agree that the
matter Is becoming much graver. The
Globe, high Conservative organ and a
newspaper which may be supposed to be on
terms or intimacy with the government
gives warning that Great Britain will re-
main firm, saying: president Cleveland
may appoint a dozen commissions, but Eng
land will remain firm in her refusal to
recognize them and jurisdiction of this sort
This is our unalterable position be the
| consequences what they may We will
never submit to such unparalleled dicta-
| tion."
| The Globe is also irate at the recent NJ
terances of Dr. Chauncey NJ. Depew, espe-
| cially his references TO the easy manner
| in which the United States could CONQUER
| naval strength OF England would enable her
| to pour troops into Canada at any sign of

The st. James Gazette says that the Brit
| ishers were much disappointed on reading
| the American kilograms to-day, and ex-
| presses the fear that the Americans will not
| read the diplomatic correspondence or see
| that Lord Salisbury is right. adding: 1--WE
| think that the American press, with its
everything but the essential facts. and the

Americans, If sensible, are also sentimental
and would fight with all the fierce energy

| and respect them for IL. What is incon-

any occasion for resentment. Let them
read the dispatches"
The Pail Mall Gazette, among other

that the foremost jurists OF America unani-
