erscam 81 British birth. in casting hta
vote for President, The reply was sent
from Beverly. Mass, where the Minis
ter Was stopping ana wOuld not now. nor
probably at any time except in the heat
az one Of the great four yearly elections,
he regarded as particularly offensive.
His Isordship simply said that any politi-
cal party which openly favored the
mother country at that TIME would lose
popularity and the party then in power
was well aware of this fact. He be
Eeved. however, that President Cleve-
| land would manifest a spirit of c0nc''-
| liatiOn in dealing with the questions in
volyed in his message.
Upon seeing this letter printed, See
| rotary Bayard sent for Lord Sackville
and the latter frankly confessed the au-
| thorship. ThereupOn Mr.. Bayard cahled
to Mr.. Phelps. our Minister at london.
| under date of October -. that Lord
| Sackville had declared that his reply TO
| Mucheson had been strictly private and
not intended for publication. Mr.. Bay
ard thereupon expressed his surprise
| and Amusement and condemnation of
the Minister'S act"
'"rhe government of the United
| States" he said, could not be indiffer
| ent to any interference in the domestic
issues by foreign representatives. and
Mr. Phelps was directed to Invite Lord
Salisbury's attention to the occurrence
and express the confident reliance Of
this government upon the action of Her
Majesty's government in the premises"
But Lord Salisbury did not take kind
~ to the suggestion. He replied that he
could not act until he had received the
Minister'S explanation. He did not re-
gard the letter alone as sufficient TO
warrant the Minister'S recall. thus end
ing his diplomatic career. which would
not necessarily be the ease If he were
dismissed by the government of the Uni
ted States. for which Of course there are
presidents"
Mr.. Phelps having advised that the
intimation of Lord Salisbury be acted
IID0n inasmuc-. as there was no pruba-
bility of his recalling the Minister immc-
diately. Mr.. Bayard proceeded to dismiss
Lord Sackyille in the following terms:
''The President of the United States
has instructed me to inform you that for
good and sufficient causes which are
known to yourself and have been duly
brought to the knowledge of your gov
eminent, he has with great regret be-
come convinced that it would he in
compatible with the best interests AMI
detrimental to the good relations of both
governments that you should any longer
hold Your present position in the United
States and that accordingly the govern
ment of her Britanic Majesty will with
out delay be informed of this determna-
ton in order that another channel may
be found for the transmission of such
communications as may be found desir-
able between the two governments in
the transaction of their business. When
ever it is your pleasure to depart from
the United States / am instructed 10
| furnish you with the usual facilities and
with that view / now beg to enclose
passport in the customary form"
Lord Sackville left Immediately and
from October 30, 1888. until late in the
| spring Of 1889, the British government
was represented here only by n charge

viewed the treatment OF It's minister.
There We're few Senators who had
not real the letter when the Senate
met today, but there were comparatively
few of them willing to express an apin-
