THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1888.

London, October 31st.

The London, Daily Nexus' says :'. The suges The Pall Mall Ganelle says: "If Secretary tion to retahat-up Mr.Phelps is theoretically Bayard's rebuke of Lord Sackville fails to con-logical and praitically foolish. Without justlly- vince the Irish volers that President Cleveland ing Mr. Cleveland's course, the News maintains can be relied upon to check John Bull as much that if he had ignored the matter and happened to as any other man, we do not see what there be unsuccessful in the coming election, Harrison is left for him to do short of placing Lord would probably have seized the first chance to Sackville under arrest and escorting him to the intimate that Lord Sackville's room was prefers frontier. How silly it all is. How much the able to his company. Americans will despise themselves for it when the election fever is over.”

The St. James Gazette mys: "As Lord Sackville is technically in the wrong England cannot resent the affront which Mr. Bayard has put upon it. Englishmen can only pity the American statesmen for the strange things they do in order to oblige political caucuses,"

The Globe says: "The uncourteous an- nouncement might create very strained relations between the two countries. Fortunately its true character is recognized on both sides. Lord Sackville has been subjected to unmannerly treatment by. both Mr. Bayard and President Cleveland, if the Minister comes home, it will be simply because Mr. Cleveland's nimbition to

be elected President a second time soare far

above the requirements of international courtesy and good will."

to interfere in its domestic affairs by advising persons formerly his countrymen as to their political course as citizens of the United States. As between this country and Grest Britain there can be no question as to the complete severance of the ties of original allegiance by naturalita tion. Disputes on this point were finally put at rest by the treaty of naturalisation concluded by the two countries on the 13th of May, 1870 Therefore it will not be contended nor was such contention ever admitted by us that citizens of the United States of British origin are subject to any claim of the country of their original allegiance. "The undersigned also has the honor to call attention to the provisions of Section 5335 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, by which severe penalties are visited upon any citizen of the United States who without authority or permission of this Government commences or carries on any verbal or written correspondence or intercourse with any foreign Government, or any officer or agent thereof, either with intent to influence the action of such government or officer in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States or with an intent to defeat the measures of the Government of the United States. These penalties are made equally applicable to every citizen of the United States not duly authorized, who counsels, advises or

The Daily News says: Lord Sackville may assists in any such correspondence with similar unlawful intent. The undersigned respectfully be congratulated upon having involved his advises that the attention of the Attorney-General country in the most serious misunderstanding with America that has occurred since the set of the United States be directed to these enact- ments in order that an investigation may be tlement of the Alabama claims. There was made with a view to ascertain whether they not much in the lette, but he might at least have not been violated in the present caso by have held his tongue afterward.

By ceeded in making bad worse, and has deepened your direction the attention of the British the impression, previously very slight, that he Government has, in a spirit of comity, been intended to charge the American Government called to the conduct of its Minister as above with insincerity in its international dealings; described, but without results. It therefore that is an accusation which, even if true, no becomes necessity for this Government to high-spirited people would endure from the consider whether as guardian of its own self-representative of a foreign power. respect, and of the integrity of its institutions, it will permit further intercourse to be held through the present British Minister at this capital. It is to be observed that precedents are not wanting as to the question under con- sideration. It is a settled rule essential to the maintenance of international intercourse that a diplomatic representative must be a person grata to the Goverument to which he is accredited, and if by his conduct he renders himself person non grata, announcement of the fact may be made to his Government. In the present cast all the requirements of comity have been ful- filled, the facts having been duly communicated to Her Majesty's Government, with an expres-- sion of opinion of this Government thereto. Respectfully submitted. T. F. Bayard."

'At the British Legation this evening, access was denied to all newspaper men, and they were informed that Lord Sackville had nothing| La say. An Associated Press reporter, however, managed to have a cony of the report of Secre- tary Bayard to the President sent in to the Minister. Lord Sackville in person returned the copy to the waiting reporter and cordially expressed thanks for having had the opportunity to read the report, which he said he had not seen before. He declined to express any opinion in regard to it, saying. "1 have nothing to say."

Lord Sackville's face as he said this wore a pleasant smile and he did'not seem in the least disturbed at the turn affairs had taken. Secre- tary Bayard, when seen to-night, said there was nothing he could say in addition to what was stated in his report to the President. The Go- vernment's action, he said, constituted a complete severance of our relations with Minister West. Secretary Bayard declined absolutely to give out anything in regard to the spirit in which the communications of the United States were re ceived by the British Government.

A Post reporter to-night put the following question to Secretary Bayard: "Have you ever at any time formally requested or demanded of the British Government the recall of Lord Sack- ville?"

The Secretary replied: "No, positively no No; all statements to that effect are absolutely and unqualifiedly untrue. We forwarded to the British Government the facts in the case. The President waited what he considered to be a sufficient lengib of time before he resolved upon definite action, and finding the British Government were apparently doing nothing in the matter, he decided, in view of the emergency to do what has been done to-day."

New York, October 30th.

The Sun will say editorially of Lord Sack ville's recall: "If Mr. Cleveland has erred in his treatment of this annoying incident, it has been on the side of over deliberation, and yet it may be thought that the humiliation of the Bri tish Government is grester since it failed to take. advantage of the loophole of escaps offered it by Mr. Cleveland, and its minister is not recalled by it, but warned to quit by the Government to which he is accredited, Mr. Cleveland has re- asserted the great commandment of " Mind your own business, and future English ministers to this country will probably stick to it."

The Times says: "The lacident la ended in & manner altogether creditable to the Admini- stration at Washington, and with the least possible harm. There is only one way in which It is likely now to have an effect upon votes, and that is through the contempt it must excite for the party which in all probability put up the whole scheme for campaign effect. There is nothing more to be deprecated in our politics than the assumption that there are classes of voters whose sciton is to be determined by ap peals to the prejudices founded on national distinctions that have no connection with our own affairs."

The Tribune says: A prompt rebuke admin istered, the instant. Lord Sackville was discovered meddling in our election, 'might have caused people in their satisfaction with such a main tenance of Executive dignity, to overlook the fact that the British Minister was electioneering in Cleveland's interest, because he knew it was for the benefit of Great Britain. But the President waited too long. „He did not discover anything wrong in the matter till the uproar la the country showed that the caposure was hurting him. Then he got mad. The Minister goes to disgrace. His electioneerleg message remains behind, but that cannot be recalled.

The News regrets Mr. Bayard's lack of cour tesy and thinks Lord Salisbury has shown want of judgment. He ought to have acted promptly. No one, it says, except Me Cleveland, emerges from the quarrel very creditably.

|

The Dally Chronicle says: With every desire that President Cleveland and Secretary Bayard should enjoy a monopoly of their rudeness, it is impossible to submit to having our representative treated like a Chinese coolic or an frish pauper. emigrant. There need be no heat displayed, but her Minister must act be slow to resent so deep if England is to remain a self-respecting nation

an affrant to national dignity,

The Standard says:" "Ought we to return our check to the smiter or send another ambas- sader to Washington, and treat Mr. Bayard's letter and Mr. Cleveland's act with contemptuous indifference?" Continuing in this blustering strain the Standard hints that the United States would not have ventured to treat the Govern ment of France or Russia in the same manner. "To ask what Palmerston would have done in a similar case would be a waste of breath, for in his days no English Ambassador would have been exposed to such scurvy treatment. If the matter is left unnoticed, the belief that England may be insulted with impunity will grow with repeated practice, and will eventually lead to an intolerable affront and an open quarrel Whellier Phelps is left or not, some expedient must be discovered to convey to the Government and the people of America our sense of their unfriendliness and, the unmannerliness of their conduct."

LONDON, November 4th.

The Times in a long editorial on the Presidential contest and the Sackville mattersaya there is not the slightest reason to retaliate on Minister Phelps, and advises the Government to show deliberation in choosing a successor to Lord Sackville. It adds that while the election may involve a chane in the Government, that inalter is one of perfect indifference to English men, but that March next will be fully time enough to appoint a successor to Lord Sackville. The Standard continues to cry for something to

The Post says: Political necessities are too strong for public men in America; hence the President was driven to offer an affront to Minis- ter Sackville and the friendly country he repre-indicate England's displeasure. sents

The Press Association announces that Lord Sackville comes to England immediately, on leave of absence; that he has important business to attend to in connection with his su cess to the Sackville estates, and will not return to Washing

ton.

SAN DIVGO, October 31st.

Frank P. Burgess, who has just returned from Pomona, where the famous "Murchison letter was written, said yesterday to a Union reporter: The real authorship of the letter is known to comparatively a few and I happen to be nne

of them." At the hotel in Pomona, at which Mr. Burgess was stopping, there was also residing a German Count named Menzur and President Finney of the local club; with these gentlemen Murchison was on the most intimate terms and for several weeks past the three have bren For some time prior to together a great deal the publication of the Murchison and West letters the Count and Finney repeatedly referred to a political thunderclap which was about to break over the heads of the Democratic party through, out the States, but it was not until after the contents of the letters had been wired from one end of the continent to the other that they made any admission regarding their origin. It then transpired that the letters were really written by Murchison, but at the dictation of Count Menzur and Finney. In all, five letters of a similar character were addressed to different prominent ren in the East. Of those the British Ministar at Washington fell into the trap. Mr. Burgess says he cannot understand how it comes that the names of all who participated in the affair have not before been made public, .

WASHINGTON, October 31st By the action of the Government yesterday Lord Sackville is no longer recognizeť as Mini- ster, and the First Secretary of the British Legation naturally becomes the official re- presentative.

- November 5th,

With reference to the Sackville affair the Standard says: The real grievance is not the "letter written by Lord Sackville, but his verbal explanation of it. It will, however, surprise the people of England to be told that when Lord Salisbury asked for an accurate statement of what Lord Sackville really said the American Minister was unable to furnish the desired information, and immediately after, and before Lord Salisbury was enabled to act, Lord. Sack- ville received his passport.

November 6th,

Parliament reassembled to-day. In the House

of Lords Salisbury stated, in response to inquiry. at the papers relating to the Sackville affair would b issued by the Government to-moriów. In the meantime he would reserve his statement in regard to the affair.

The papers in the Sackville case were made this evening. First is-a letter from Lord Sais- bury to Lord Sackville, October 27th, which says: "Mr Phelps, who is staying at my house, informs me that Mr. Bayard's request for your recall is net based upon the letter to Murchison, but upon a newspaper interview. I replied was glad it was not true, that the request was due to the writing of the letter which was made public only by a betrayal of confidence, and it was hardly practicable to lay down the principle that a diplomatic representative tahould be pro- hibited from expressing, even privateiv, any opinion upon events passing, in the country to which he is accredited. The language of an interview is different. You must be taken as having intended it för publication.

"Before admitting the need for a recall, I was hound, in justice to you, to know exactly what the alleged objectionable language was. I therefore asked Mr.Phelps for a copy of the interview, so as to ascertain from you whether you had been accurately reported. I told him I would then bring the matter before my colleagues. Phelps replied he had not received the text of the interview, but that he would take steps to procure it. It was, consequently, understood that until the

At the British Legation silence is maintained. Lord Sackville refásed to see anyone to-day, and members of the Legation who were seen say all was uncertainty as to his departure froir Washington.

LONDON, November 1st,

The St. James Gazelle, referring to the action of the United States in the case of Sackville says: It will be most creditable to English good sense if Secretary Bayard's insolence" is treated with contempt. The American eagle is screech. Ing. Let him screech. We are not exactly prepared to send ironclads to Long Island because Bayard is outrageously offensive Respectable Americans, who stand in neither with Cleveland nor Harrison, are nearly as much disgusted with the affair as Englishmen are." It is stated that in government circles it is considered that the Sackville Incident is ended. Sackvilla has not yet advised the govemment na to the date of his return. It is possible some time may elapse before a new Minister is sent to Washington. American circles here are anxious for Dufferin to be appointed to the past.

The Pall Mall Gasetis expresses the hope that the ire of the Democratic pullera is now assunged. "Cleveland could do no more without throwing Lord Sackville into fail. What a silly business it is all through. The British consolation is that President Cleveland ecliptes Lord Sackville's indiscretion. It is one thing to be tricked into making a slip in private, but it is quite a differ- ent thing to plunge. headlong into an abyss of folly and ill-temper. We own Cleveland thanks for showing that the alliest man in Washington was not born in England.”5 A

The Star, T.P. O'Connor's paper, ways Bayard pats it pretty strong. The Irish voter is so pres sing, and the desire to satisfy him is so urgent, that Cleveland cannot wait until Salisbury take action. The incident furnishes fresh evidence The Herald says; The diguity and self-respect of the paramount.

On October 30th Lord Sackville cabled that he had received his passport. On the 31st, Mr. Phelps informed Lord Salisbury that the United States Government had given Lord Sackville his passport and added that President Cleveland- hoped that another Minister would be sent to Washington. On the same day Lord Sackville sent the following despatch to Lord Salishury: I beg to repudiate Mr. Bayard's statement of the reasons for my dismissal as an unjust attack on my integrity." Lord Salisbury at once ent the following reply. "Place Mr. Herbert as Senior Secretary on the spot, in charge of the Legation." On November 1st Lond Salisbury sent a communication of Mr. Phelps referring to his promise to furnish him with a copy of the Sackville interview, and informed him that as he had no further information as to what Lord Sackville's statements were or to whom they were made, he was unable to form any judgment upon the considerations which dictated the request for the latter's recall or for the forwarding to him of his passport. To this Mr. Phelps made reply next day, as follows: Our recollection of what passed in the conversation we had on Saturday differs alightly in one particular. It was not intended that ́the letter should have no part in the reasons for the request for the recall of Lord Sackvilie. ... I did say that the Minister's remarks in the published interview were the principal reason.
