p— . Vit i TEIGHTEENTH YEAR. IS HIS SUCCESSOR NAMED? Minister West Not Likely to Be Recalled After All RUNNING DOWN A WILD RUMOR,. Many Department Clerks Are Going Howe to Vote, But for Obvious Reasons Most of Them Arc Democrats, 515 1 Tl STREET, WasiiNatoy, D. C., Oct. 20. Minister Sackville has not yet been recalled and the i that he will not b The United States has not demanded lus r call in spite of all assertions and intimations to the coutrary. The only thing that been done by the government has been the transmittal of all the papers bearing upon the case to Minister Phelps without any in- structions whatever, “The situation is a peculiar one, ish government and the United ernment on friendly terms. The com mereial relations between” Great Britain and the United States are greater than between any other nations in the world, The United States can scarcely afford now, as some time has elapsed suice the incident, to insist upon the immediate recall of the obnoxious minis ter, nor can England premptorily dismiss from her diplomatic service a man who h faithfully served the mtercsts of the country which he now represents for upwards of forty years, ‘There is . report night to the effect t adian official has been Minister West. WaSHINGTON Brg Nma Bee, } cos are The Brit- States gov- circulation here to- A prominent Can ppointed to suce This rumor cume from Mon- treal. It was discredited everywhere, be cause it is well known that the policy of the British go t is to select all diplomatic officers from the regular diplomatic cory and there is no cdent for the appoint- ment of a colonial official to a post of this character. Besides this, diplomatic news does not usually come from Montreal. An attempt was made to see Secretary Bayard, but that gentieman was not visible to re- porters, and nothing couid be learned at the Vhite Hous, Aftera persistent effort Lord Sackville was at last seen. 13ut he was not communi- cative and was far more diplomn parry ing all questions than he has be late in other instances. At cr, he was asked the direct question ou heard that any one has been appointed to succeed you!” "Lord Suckville declined to answer the question, but from his manner it was in- ferred that' he bad received some informa- tisn from London to-night which_he did not sare to t to the public. The sugge itment of ani ntleman that gentleman Charles Tupper was the to, and the knowledge that is now in London gives color to the sugge tion that he may have been chosen if any Canadian is to have the place, If Lord & ville is reprimanded the news will probably come from L It is hardly likely that he will be rec n any event at Jeast not until after LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Leaves of absence areas numerous in the government departments just now s the leaves from the trees, on the str The clerks are le r their respective votinz places totake part in the coming election In some of the departments the number Jeaves is said to be as numerous us in pr vious presidential years and in other of the departments they are less. *“There were one hundred and twenty-five leaves granted the other day,” remarked an appointment clerk of one of the lurgest departments. He added that ev day for some time the ap- plication of clerks for leave had been re- ceived and acted upon. “There is one rath. er notable feature,” he observed, *and that is the large number who ask for leave with- out pay. In the majority of such instances the applicant has exhausted all his annual leaves and now his party patriotism is strong enough. to induce him to sacrifice a part of his salary for the privilege of ¢ ing his vote.” There is a very general ex- odus of the higher department’ ofticials al- though many of them from states that are considered sure are not going home at all. It is supposed that nearly all the clerks are democrats but this arises mainly from the fact that they are apt to be extremely tacti- turn when the subject of politics is intro- duced. One of the employes who has a vote in Cleveland, O., has an ingenious answer ready for any inquiry, the object of wiich is not fully known. Asked if he is a democrat or will vote for Cleveland, he can truthfully reply in any event,I am a Cleveland voter “Che Ohio voters, by the way, are not going home to any extent this year except in cases where a vote is needed in a close loeal con- test. They consider the state sure for the republicans and a few votes here and there would do no good and might result in the personal loss of the voters in the depart- ments, The republican clerks, who have been retained in office are not going home to vote to any extent. The opinion secms to be general that perhaps they had better refrain from votng this year, and the couscquence Is that the present exodus from the city is mainly confined to democratic employes, ADMITIED TO PRACTICE.

Secretary Bayard had several conferences Le president to-day concerning Lord Sackville's letter and other matters relating to affuirs of state. Another message was sent 10 Minister Phelps to-day, and it is be- lieved that 5. cablegram was received from lim at the department of state, but nothing can be learned as to the coutents of either, Eugene Sample, governor of Washington territory, in his annual report, estimates the fation of the territory at 164,000, and states that the financial condition of the ter- ritory is in a prosperous condition.

Our thanks are the more p rofound that your majesty has been pleased to visit us after reeciving the enthusiustic homage of the mightiest peoples. At the time of your last visit to Hamburg our most joyful hopes followed the youthful scion of the Hohenzollern race. To-day we salute the emperor, who has grasped the reins of empire with a mighty hand and indefatigable strength. We sur- round our emperor with the firmest confi- denceand devoted love. May the 20th of October be engraved upon the annals of this town in indelible letters. May it vouchsafe to your majesty many, many years of a happy reign, that you may be the guardian of the fatherland and enjoy the devout love of the German people.” The emperor replied: “While thanking you for this cordial reception, I can only say that Iam overpowered, and unable to find words adequate to express my gratitude. I have especially pleasant memories of two former occasions on which I visited this town, the first with my parents and my brother on the way to Kiel and the second with my grandfather, of blessed memory. Our reception on both occasions I can never forget. Iregard to-day's festivities as an inheritance derived from my grandfather. Whenever I have occasion to proceed north- wards to visit the fleet which I love so well the way leads through your walls. You have referred to my recent journeys, which were undertaken above all other things in the interest of peace and the promotion of commerce, of industry and the welfare of the fatherland, 'This day is ot high importance. The work which has this day been com- pleted forms the first important service to the country rendered by the internal policy under my rule. Itrust that God's blessing will rest upon it, and that the commerce of Hamburg will rise as it has never done be- fore. You have always oxtended our commerce, as well as our thoughts and ideas, in foreign countries, Let us all drink to the prosperity and good fortuue of the town of Hamburg, hoping that God's blessing will rest upon it. Long live Ham- burg.” The toast was received with three rounds of hearty cheers. At 6:45 p. m. the membvers of the imperial company proceeded to the Schwabe gallery and took coffee.
