: SACKVILLE SENT HOME.
The British Minister at Washington
Dismissed.
Why He Was Given His Passports
By Our Government.
Washington and the United States are
itirred up as they have not been in years. It
? a rare event for a foreign Minister to be requested
to leave his post in such abrupt and
unmistakable language as has been addressed
to Lord Sackville, the British Minister, by
President Cleveland's direction.
The circumstances which led to this state
of affairs are as follows:
On the 4th of September last a letter pur
porting to be written by one Charles F.
sJo+a/4 of Pnmnnfl Pq) WAS RPIlfc
from that plac? to the British Minister at
Washington, in which the writer solicited an
expression of his views in regard to certain unsettled
diplomatic questions between the
United States and Great Britain, stating at
the same time that such an expression was
ought by him for the purpose of determining
his vote at the Presidential election.
To this letter the British Minister at once
replied from Beverly, Mass., under date of
loth of September last. In this reply he
stated that "any political party which
openly favors the mother country at the
present moment would lose popularity, and
that the party in power is fully aware of that
fact; ana that in respect to the questions with
Canada which were unfortunately reopened
since the rejection of the (fisheries) treaty by
the Republican majority in the Senate and
by the President's message to which you allude,
all a'lowauces must, therefore, be made
for the political situation as regards the Presidential
election." The Minister thus gave
his ascent and sanction to the aspersions and
imputations above referred to.
Considerab'e correspondence took place
between the two Governments over the affair,
and when those in authority at Washington
saw that the English Government was more
dillatory in its action than was consistent
with the dignity of the United States, a
Cabinet meeting was called to discuss the
matt r.
The session of the Cabinet began at 11
o'clock and continued until I.oO, and at 3
the note which has set the whole world talking
was sent to Lord Sackville.
This action on the part of our Government
tvas reached after the matter bad been fully
considered at tho Cabinet meeting. It was
there shown by the despatches received
from Minister Phelps at London that the
English government was disposed to take
their own time about recalling their representative
hero; that there were certain matters
in controversy that could only be settled
after a full hearing, and that possibly no decisive
steps wou d be lak-n by the British
Foreign Office for some days.
In view of these farts it was decided that
this Government should take the initiative,
and Lord Sackville's dismissal was then and
there agreed upon.
The form of Lord Sackville's dismissal
was as follows:
"My Lord?By direction of the President
I have the honor to inform vou that for
causes heretofore made known to Her Majesty's
Government your continuance in your
present official situation near this Government
is no longer acceptable, and would consequently
be detrimental to the pood relations
between the two powers. I have the
further honor, by direction of the President,
to enclose you a letter of safe conduct
through the territories of the United States.
I have the honor to be your obedient servant,
T. P. Bayard."
As a further evidence that all official relations
were at an end between the British
Minister and the Department of State, a
passport permitting l.ord Sackville to
cross the boundaries of the United States was
enclosed.
The Secretary of State was instructed by
the President to prepare a statement in a
form which sboula accompany the notification.
The tenor of this having been agreed
pen. it was enclosed with the notification.
Secretary Bayard's Statement.
The action of the President in breaking off
the official relations of Lord Sackville with
the United States was based upon a state tent
of all the facts of the case which was
laid before him by the Secretary of State.
This statement is as follows:
t Department of State, )
Washington, Oct. 29,18^8. f
To the President:
The undersigned lias the honor to submit
for your consideration the following; statement,
with a view to receive your direction
thereon:
On the 4th of September last a letter pur
porting to be written by one Charles F.
Murchison. dated at Pomona, Cal., was sent
from that place to tno Britisu Aliiusierat
this capital, in which the writer solicite i an
expression of his views in regard to certain
unsettled diplomatic questions between
TTniartrl UiSidt Hritftiii fitnf.
ing at the same time that such an expression
was sought by him for t! e purpose
of determining his vote at the approaching
Presidential election. He stated that he was
a naturalized citizen of the United States, of
English i irtb, but that he still considered
England the mother country, and this fact
led him to seek advice from the HritisU representative
in this country. He further
etate.l that the information he sought for was
not for himself alone, but to enable him to
.^Ye certain assurances to many other perjjons
in the same s.tuation as himselt' for the
purpose of influencing and determining their
political action as citizens of the United
States of English birth, but who still regarded
their original obligation of allegiance
_ as paramount The letter also contained gross
" reflections upon the conduct of this Government
in respect to questions now in controversy
and unsettled between the United
States and Great Britain, and both directly
and indirectly imputed insincerity in such
conduct.
To this letter the British Minister at once
replied from Beverly, Mass., under date of
the loth of September last. In this reply he
stated that "any political party which openly
favors the mother country at the present
moment would lose popularity, and that the
party in power is fully aware of that fact,
and that in respect to the 'questions with
Canada, which have been unfortunately reopened
since the rejection of the [fisheries]
treaty by the Republican majority in the
Senate, and by ttie President s Message to
which you allude,1 all allowances must
therefore be made for the political situation
as regards the Presidential election." The
minister mus ^nve uih unu sauttiuu tu
the nsperations and imputat.ons above referred
to.
'1 bus, under h)3 correspondent's assurance
of secrecy, in which the Minister concurred
by marking his answer "Private," he undertook
to advise a citizen of the United
States how to exercise the franchise of suffrage
in an election clos* at hand for the
Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the
United States, and through him, as the letter
sugsested, to influence the votes of many
others.
Upon this correspondence being made public
the Minister received the representatives
of the public press, and in frequent interviews
with them, intended for publication,
added to the impugnments which" he had already
made of the good faith of this Government
in its public action and international
dealings. Although ample time and opportuni
y have t>een afforded him for the disavowal,
modification or correction of his
statements, to some of which bis attention
was called personally by the undersigned,
vet no such disavowal or modification has
been made by him through the channels in
which his statements first found publicity.
The question is thus presented whether it
is comi atible with the disnity, securi'y. and
inde[>en tent sovereignty of the United States,
to permit the representative of a foreign
Government in this country not only to
receive and answer without disapproval,"and
confirm by his repetition, aspersions upon its
po itical action, t ut also to interfere in its
domestic affairs byadvisin/ persons formerly
his countrymen as to their political course as
citizens of the United Stales. As between
this country and Great Britain, there can be
no controversy as to the complete severance
of the ties of or ginal allegiuuce by naturalization.
Disputes on this point were finally
put at rest by the treaty of naturalization
concluded by the two countries on the 13th
of May, 187U. 'lherefore it ?ill not be contended,
nor was such contention ever admitted
by t.s. that citizens of the United
States of British origin are subject to any
claim of the country of the.r original allegiance.
The undersigned also has the honor to call
attention to the provisions of section 5>S5 of
t?.e Revised Statutes of the United States, by
which severe penalties are visited upon the
i . ens of the United States who. without
i..? 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 an intent
to influence the action of such Government
or its agents, 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 eaually
applicable to every citizen of the United
States not duly autnorizeu, woo wuuku,
advises or assists in any such correspondence"
with similar unlawful intent. The
undersigned resp-ctfully advises that the attention
of the Attorney-General of the United
States be directed to these enactments, in
order that an investigation may be made,
with a view to ascertaiu whether they have
not been violated in the present case by the
correspondent of the British Minister.
By your direction the attention of the British
Government has, in a spirit of comity,
been called to the conduct of its Minister as
above described, but without result. It
therefore becomes necessary for this Govern
"
ment to consider wnetner, as me gum umu ??.
its own self-respect and the integrity of its
institutions, it will permit further intercourse
through the present British Minister at this
capital. It is to be observed that precedents
are not wanting as to the question under consideration.
It is a settled rule, essential to
the maintenance of international intercourse,
that a diplomatic representative must be
persona grata to the go* eminent to which
he is accredited. If by his conduct he
renders himself persona non grata an announcement
o* rae fact may be made to his
Government. In the iresent case all the requirements
of comity nave b^en fulfiled. the
facts have been duly communicated to Her
Majesty's Government with an expression of
the opinion of this Government thereto. Respectfully
submitted. T. F. Bayard.

Near the entrance to the handsome grounds Mi
of the old Hoxsey estate, and in a secluded bti
place, isolated from the eaze of passers by,
was a large flat stone upon which the lovers wl
used to sit It was a veritable lovers' trystiug w,

their marriage five years ago, ana it was .

widower went to take his life. When the
body was found it was in such a position as ;
to indicate that when Hoxsey shot nimself he ,
was sitting on the stone.
The house at present stands unoccupied
and is in the care of an old Frenchman. The
lifeless body of Hoxsey was found still warm t0

the grounds for a stray cow. Near the body Pe
lay a 32-caliber revolver of a large pattern,
such as is in use in the navy. wl

Civil War in Manitoba. ge
The excitement over the trouble between de
the Manitoba Governmeut and the Cana- be
dian Pacific Railway continues unabated. an
While the Central Pacific Road had an ha
armed force of nearly 1000 men guarding h,
the point at which the Northern Pacific Tc
first attempted crossing, the latter set its "]
track layers to work under cover of dark- gn
a ess at a point three or four miles
away. A diamond crossing wa3 put q.
in before morning and a force of special *jv
police left to guard it. When Superintendent
White, of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, heard of tbis he wemthere and
with a large force, and upon arriving at the bis
scene ordered his men to pull up the diamond.
Resistance was offered, but on eij
account of the overpowering Dumbers of the fiv
Canadian Pacific Railway men it was very Aj
feeble, and the Northern Pacific specials were b&
quickly beaten back and their crossing torn
up and carted away. No one was badly in- tjj
jured in the scrimmage, but a pitched battle
would have resulted if the Northern Pacific
force had been larger. Men employed by
the Government have secret instructions to p
fire should they be molested.
finwinl rwilir-p ?rmpd to the teeth, were set
to watch the crossing after it was made, and 3?'
any attempts to damage Government property
will be resisted by people whose blood is *n
at fever heat by outrages perpetrated on them. '
The Canadian Pacific Railway men, 400 ar<
strone, so a late dispatch says, overpowered sbi

Commodore Schley Wants 2000 J?
lioyw to Study Seamanship.
Commodore W. S. Schley, of the United n(
States Navy, in his report has made a strong Sc
appeal to Congress for modern vessels for the 'ia
training schools. The present vessels are
hardly worthy of repair, though they are
now being put in condition for further service.
?
Commodore Schley is in favor of a further J
increase in the scope of the school. It is hi3
desire that the boys should not only be care- ?
fully grounded in all the rudiments of 6eamanship,
but that with the aid of modern
crafts tney be carried higher in the art and in- Hi
ducted into the mysteries of the cruisers of *11!
the day. tin
The Commodore is also inclined to favoran
increase of the number of boys. He would not er
be averse to having rii-00 boys attached to the
Fchool in the various stages of instruction. The
Commodore thinks that this number could
he accommodated, and use found for them
ns soon as they nre ready for active service. ce
He would like to send all of the vessels out w'
on a roving commission, enlist ng boys at su
the seuports. He is also anxiou3 to secure
boys from the P&ci !c Slopj. on

THE MORMONS"
Synopsis of the Annual Report
oi tne governor or iJtan.
i
Recommending an Investigation
by a Committee of Congress.
Caleb W. West, Governor of Utah, in his
i annual report to the President, estimates the
population of the Territory at 21<),0'J0, an
increase of 66,000 since 1830. The assessed
taxable valuation is stated to be
$46,379,078, an increase of about ? 11.000 during
the year. The aggregate mineral products
of the Territory lor the calendar year
, 1887 is given as 637,723, of which
$5,976,884 was silver. Labor has been
in demand during the year. Carpenters
receive W.50 per day, and are
in strong demand. (Stonecutters, masons,
and bricklayers from *4 to $4.50 per day,
also in demand. Miners from &i. 50 to $4
[ per day. Nearly all tbe other trades are
well paid and tally employed. In his remarks
upon the Mormon question the Governor
says:
Nothing ran justify tbe despotism of the
Mormon political system to a people who
have known and appreciate the blessings of
a free Government. * * * the Unity of the
i Church and State is perfect an l indissoluble.
It is based upon the complete and abso1
lute control of priest hood wielding a
> supreme power, exercised and yielded
to as emanating immediately from
God, in all things secular as well as spiritual.
1 The word of the priesthood is to the Mormon
people the command of God, not only in matters
of faith and morals, but in all civil, political,
and commercial affairs. This priesthood
not only rules the Church, but gov erns
tbe State.
The Governor declares that the local civil
Government under the Mormons is arbitrary.
The Governor recommend> the appointment
by Congress of a committee vritn full au'
thority to make a complete and thorough investigation
of the civil as well as religions
conditions heretofore and now prevailing in
i the Territory.
A FATAL EXPERIMENT.
While TestInc a Fire Escape Three
Boys are Killed.
H. C. Wilson, of Zanesville, Ohio, haB for
several aays uecn besuuK a nuw ure escape,
attached to tbe front of the Monongahela
Hcub9, in Pittsburg, Penn. The fire-escape
man secured three boys who were watelling
the proceedings, and by giving
them five cents each, induced
them to go down on it. The boys were
James McCune, aged fourteen years: John
Dudley, ag;ed fifteen, and Daniel Nagle, aged
fifteen. Ascending to Wilson's room, the
rope was passed under their arms. When dll
three had been securely fastened they
were carefully swung from the window and
started to descend. They had gone
down but a few feet when there came a
snap, the rope parted close to the pulley, and
the Doys were dashed to the sidewalk, seventy
feet below. McCune and Dudley were almost
instantly killed, and Nagle fatal!y injured.
Wi.son was arrested and locked up. He was
almost crazed by the occurrence, and an
open penknife found in his pocket leads to
the belief that in his excitement he meant to
kill himself.
