ANOTHER CONTROVERSY
WITH BRITAIN IN pROSrECr


WASIiINCiTON. November .7.-An-
other controversy between tho Ameri-
can government and the entente allies
is in prospect as result Of tho refusal
OF the British government to grant
safe conduct To Count TarnowSki. the
newly appointed Austro- Hungarian am
bassador to tho United States.
In tho absence of official advice. Of
hcials of the State Dcpa rtment could
not forecast tho course this govern
mcnt is likely To pursue. hut 1t was
evident that the unfavorablc action OF
the British Foreign Office on the notice
of tho intention of the now ambassador
To cross tho Atlantic tn his post gave
Them an unpleasant surprise
Aside from the belief that England
would not care to arouse adverse feel
ing in the United States by Interference
with the ancient and generally unques-
toned right of Il neutral government
To receive an ambassador or minister
officials had counted upon Great Brit
aims action in the Mason and Slidcll
case TO prevent such an action as re-
ported in to-days cable dispatch
The fact is recognized that in pro-
testing against the removal of the Con-
federate mmiSsioners from the steam
ship Trent, the British government
was mainly concerned with the viola
tion OF the protection afforded by the
British flag under which the Trent
sailed. and il is said that it was on
that account the United States rcpudi-
atcd the action OF it's naval commander.
but il is held here that the protest
also was based on the right of diplo-
matte officers To make their way to
hpi &c In, fyoI
molcstation. 1t probably will he on
that basis that tho matter of Count
Tarnowskrs interrupted mission will

we'll understood that tho London For

and Russia in its action.

REQ QUEST FOR SAFE CONDUCT
The state Department so far has not
made formal request for safe con-

Of the request of tho Austrian govern
mcnt for such Il courtesy. Therefore,
II is probable that if the issue is to
be made up. il will he necessary for
the United States now to make such a
request on its own account
Great Britain's attitude, if adhered
to. would prevent q new Turkish am
bassador and successors to Captains

Negotiations regarding "A new Turk
