NEW YORK, Oct. S.-A special
cable TO the World from London says:
An extraordinary and in many re-
spects unprecedented publication by
British or other high diplomat has
been discussed during the past few
days among the foreign representa-
tives to the court to st. James.
This is handsomely printed
pamphlet marked For Private Circu-
lation Only and entitled My mission
to the United States, S1-S9' and has
Just been issued by Lord Sackyile,
who as Sir Lionel notwithstanding
West. K. c. NJ. c., was the English
minister to Washington for the period
named.
1t will be remembered that President
Cleveland, almost on the eve OF tine
election of 1888 sent Sir Lionel his
passports because of a letter written
by him to an alleged Englishman IN
California commenting on the APP
preaching election.
My Lords Defense.
This pamphlet is Lord Sackville's
defense and explanation after several
years of that incident. But the I'M
| precedented part of it, and the part
which has aroused very excited com
merit is first the freedom of his
structures upon the American people
and American public men, and, sec
ond, his own expressed indignation
that the British ministry should have
accepted Mr.. Bayard as ambassador
/ to this country, while as secretary of
state of the United States. Mr. Bayard
| had wontonly insulted in person its
accredited representative.
! The pamphlet consists of fffty-twC
pages, $4,000 words, and is of very
limited issue, not more than 100 copies
! These have been sent under seal only
to leading foreign diplomats and the
higher English officials and few per
sonal friends.
Chester A. Arthur was president and
James g. Blaine secretary Of state
when Lork Sackville came to New
York in November, 1881.
At a reception given him by st
Georges society, he says that Mr.
Blaine was sent to greeS him by Pres
ident Arthur and he made a most cor
dial address Of welcome. In it he re-
ferred to the royalty of American
people and the admiration for thai
gracious sovereign, his royal mistress.
Lard Sackville notes also his very cor
dial reception by the president him
self, but remarks: That while Mr.
Blaine was using this conciliatory Ian
guage he was carrying on hostile con
troversy with her majesty's govern
ment respecting the abrosation of The
Clayton-Bulwer treaty"
The Fenians Troubled Him.
He says he entered upon his dutie:
with great solicitude.
~ was we'll aware of the difficulties
I should have to contend with in com
batting the influence of the FeniaI
organization, organized over the gov
eminent and which was so powerful
in both houses of the legislature"
Lord Sackville quotes a private let
ter he wrote to Lord Granville. thel
foreign minister, in April, 1882. in re
gard to apparently, a request or de
mand made by Secretary F'relinghusel
for the immediate release of certain
Irish suspects. In this letter, Lore
Sackville distinctly states that AS
sistant Secretary Bancroft Davis rep
resented to him that the president fel
embarrassed by the action of congress
in the matter, and that he, the presi
dent. trusted to the courtesy of he
majesty's government in enabling hin
to avert it,
He says he told Secretary Davis tina
''he must remember there was a publ
, opinion in England, as well a
likely to be convinced of tn
necessity of a concession to the Unite
States government on this questio
simply because congress was terrorize
by the Irish voters
i Davis frankly admitted this and sal
that the president himself appealed I
g her majesty's government in the pC
: litical case.
Thought His Life in Danger.
! Lord sackvine here delfberatel
: states that Lord Granville, upon rel
i RESERVATIONS of Lord Spencer, the
5 lord lieutenant of Ireland, and latel
: in Lord Rosebery's cabinet, telegraph
! ed the first ASSISTANT secretary of sta
saying that his, Lord Sackville's, Iii
e was in danger, and asking for prote
Y ton.
Secretary F'relinghuysen, he sal
declined to take any steps officiaA
but sent him to General Sherman. II
latter invited him to a trip in III
n presidents yacht" All preparation
s were made in secret and they spel
: ten days cruising in the James rive
: after WHICH, IL was QGeuleQ IndI II
Y excitement caused by the Irish ex
e cutions had abated."
g He says danger again became imm
y nent when he was instructed to d
l. mand the extradition of Patrick She
idan for completely in the Phoenix PAL
murders. He felt that such a d
mand would be hopeless and r
ported to Lord Granville, and then Il
II instructions were revoked. A presidel
tial election was approaching and M
c Blaine was likely to be the Republica
! candidate.
