The Keeling In Loudon,
London, Nov. 1. In split df tho fact that
most ot the newspapers and n large majoilty
ot tho politicians In mid out of olllco agree,
thnt President Cleveland's action In clrlug
l.om jnckUMe his eongo was not only per
fectly proper, but, Indeed, tho only thlog he
could do In tho circumstances, the uffair
has caused a general murmur of dissatisfaction
with tbo manner In which tho Minuter was
dismissed. Tho muttcrlngs proceed chiefly
from a dcslro to conceal tbo uuHersal feeling
of chagrin.
The Prime Minister Condemned.
Nor nro tho growls altogether directed
toward the American Government. Whllo It
Is freely charged that Mr. Clovoland has exer
cised his of11cl.il prerogative in his own per
sonal lutercst with a view of nialilng party
capital and Influencing his re-elcClon, n con
siderable proportion of tho press and tbo neo
file are disposed to lay tho blamo for Luc
and's humiliation at tbo door of Lord Salis
bury. It Is claimed that when tho effect of Lord
Baekvllle's Indiscreet conduct made It appear"
that tbo JlrltUh iMIui&tar.'s (departure lrom
WaBhlugton In consequence wus'liibvltable,
tho premier should havo recalled him nt once.
In order that the spectacle of tho peremptory
dismissal of a British repiescntstivo by the
Government Jo which ha was accredited might
bo averted.'
That Lord Salisbury was perfectly well
awnro from the outset that Lord Sackvllto
could no longer remain In Washington us tho
representative ot Great Britain there can bo
uo doubt whatever, nud tho opinion Is openly
expressed that ho purposely exposed tho un
fortunate Minister to tho humiliation which
has been visited upon him In o'nler that a pop
ular fcelliiL' of indlcnatlnn might bo aroused
against tho American Government by the
nctlon bo kpew tbo Washington authorities
must take lu tho event ol his neglect to
promptly perform his duty. j
The Course Taken by the American Sen
ate In tho matter of the Canadian fisheries treaty,
and later that ot the President In his retalia

something stionger than mere surprise. IV g
llsh popular Indignation niraijist a country
y,000 miles away isn't such A terrible thing
nfter all, but In tho absence ot any more potent
means ot retaliation, It was possibly thought
well to manufacture aud use 10
Tlio Most Disappointing Part
of the affair is, however, tho fact that tho
quantity of popular Indignation produced Is
exceedingly small and mpst of It Is directed
against those who could, It they would, havo
spared Kuglaud her present humiliation.
The Post this morning has' a leading edi
torial on tho Sackvlllo Incident In which it

"Wo find tho head ot the Hcpubllc driven to

London, N6v. 1. As tho tlmo for tho rcas

more nnd more apparent that tbo conservatives
nro resolved to Keep Irlih matters out ot tho

On tho other hand, tho Nationalists appear
