Fresh reports cabled from New York about Mr. Lowell's recall appear in to-day's pipers. Englishmen remark with surprise the apparent inability of the President to determine whether he will or will not remove this most important diplo- matic representative. The general judgment fiere is that the displacing of Mr. Lowell would be a grave mistake, but that it would be better to re- move him than to leave him to be embarrassed. The report is partly discredited by such prolonged vascillation. His recall now will of course be universally interpreted as Presidential servility to Irish wenace.
