WAHIIISUTON , IX C. , Oct . , 29. I
Minister Rackvillo has not yet been recalled
and the chances are that ho will not be.
The United States has not demanded ins re
call In spite of all assertions and Intimations
to tl.o contrary. The only thing that has
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. The Brit
ish government and the United States gov
ernment are on friendly terms. The com
mercial relations between Gtcat 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 since the incident , to Insist upon
the immediate recall of the obnoxious minis
ter , nor can England prcmptorily dismiss
from her diplomatic service a man who has
faithfully served the interests of the country
which ho now represents for upwards of
forty years.
There is a report In circulation hero to
night to the effect that a prominent Can
adian ofllcial has been appointed to succeed
Minister West. This rumor came from Mon
treal. It was discredited everywhere , be
cause it Is well known that the policy of the
British government Is to select all diplomatic
officers from the regular diplomatic corps ,
and there is no precedent for the appoint
ment of a colonial olllcml 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 gentleman was not visible to re
porters , and nothing could bo learned at the
White Houso. .
After a persistent effort Lord Saekville
was at last seen. But ho was not communi
cative and was far more diplomatic in parry-
intr all questions than ho has Deen of late in
other instances. At last , however , ho was
asked the direct question : "Have you heard
that any 0110 has been appointed to succeed
you ! " Lord Sackvillo declined to answer
the question , but from his manner it was in
ferred that he had received some informa-
tioii from London to night which he did not
jure to impart to tlio public. The suggcs-
thn uf the appointment of a "Canadian offi
cial" naturally caused the inference that Sir
Charles Tupper was the gentleman referred
to , and the knowledge that that gentleman
is now in London gives color to the sugges
tion that he may have been chosen if any
Canadian Is to have the place. If Lord Sack
villo is reprimanded the news will probably
come from London first. It is hardly likely
that ho will bo recalled in any event at
least not until after election.
MUVI : OP AiisB.vcn.
Leaves of absence areas numerous in the
government departments just now us the
leaves from thp trees , on the streets. The
clerks are leaving for their respective voting
places to take part in the coining election.
Jn some of the departments the number of
leaves Is said to be as numerous as in pre
vious presidential years and In other of the
departments they are less. "Tlicro wcro
ono hundred and twenty-Jive leaves granted
the other day , " remarked an appointment
elcrk of one of the largest departments. He
added that every dav for some time the ap
plication of clerks for leave had been re
ceived and acted upon. "Thoro is ono rath
er notable feature , " ho observed , "and that
is the largo number who ask for leave with
out pay. In tlio 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
n part of his salary for the privilege of casi-
inc his vote. " There is a very general ex
odus of the higher department officials al
though many of them from states that are
considered sure are not going homo at all.
It is supposed that nearly all the clerks are
democrats but this arises mainly from the
fact that they are apt to bo extremely tacti-
turn when the subject of politics is intro
duced. One of the employes who has u vote
In Cleveland , O. , has an ingenious answer
ready for any Inquiry , the object of wfheh is
not fully known. Asked If ho is a democrat
or will vote for Cleveland , ho can truthfully
reply in any ovcnt"I am a Cleveland voter. "
The Ohio voters , by the way , are not going
Koine to any extent this year except In cases
where a vote Is needed In a close local con
test. They consider the state sure for
the republicans and a few votes hero 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 seem' , to bo
general that perhaps they had better refrain
from voting this year , and the consequence
Is that the present exodus from the city is
mainly confined to democratic employes.

Wii.KBii\iuir : . Pa. , Oct. 29 Michael Hcz-
7oll , known as "Hcd Nosed Mike , " an Italian
whom many suspect of the murder of Pay
master McClure and Flanagan , his body
guard , was arrested this afternoon for the
second time. Two constables from Luzerno
borough , have spent live days in the woods
and among the Italian camps , disguised as
hunters , and they" claim to possess positive
knowledge that Mike and thrco associates
committed the murder. They followed traces
of ono of Mike's accomplices nearly fifty
miles through tlio woods. To-day they
hastened buck and had Mike before Justice
Moore , of Miners Mills. They did not have
time to produce their witness , but on their
statement of the case , together with the fact
that the prisoner has heretofore bcnn re
garded as an unscrupulous character , ho was
held in S WX ) ball and hearing will be given
in a day or two. The action of the local
officers has greatly irritated the Pinkerton
men , who are following up n supposed clue.
They Immediately procured bail for him and
he was set at liberty , though the excitement
occasioned bv the nrrcst is intense. H is be
lieved that this attempted rivah-y between
the local detectives and the Pinkerton men
Is delaying rather than aiding the apprehen
sion of the murderers.
The Dickey tVIII Case.
CIIICAOO , Oct. 29. Judge Gresham has
remanded to the superior court the suit of
J. J. Dickey and other heirs of Judge T.
Lyle Dickey airainst Abuie M. Baker and
other heirs of Mrs. Beulah C. Dickey. This
Is n suit to set aside the will made by Judge
Dickey , giving all his property to his wife ,
Mrs. Bculuh C. Dickey , on the ground that
shu unduly influenced him to make a will in
her favor. The case was removed to the
federal court on the ground that all state
judges , from their long acquaintance with
Judge Dickey , were prejudiced in favor of
his heirs. Judge Gresham , in remanding
the case , said that the statement was almost
too ridiculous to merit comment. As the suit
could not have been brought originally in
the federal court , tlio judge said it must go
back to the state courts.

Sloltltc and Count Herbert Bismarck were
resent at the ceremonies to commemorate
ho Inclusion of this city in the customs

Tlio emperor went by water to Alstcrlust ,
vhero ho had lunch. Ho afterward preceded -
ceded to Juiigornsteln , and then relumed
o the city , where he inspected the guards of
loner and exchanged words of greeting with
he ofllcors , Ho afterward drove through
.lie city in u carriage drawn by four black
lorses. General Von Moltko and Count
Icrbort Bismarck followed in a second car-
iage. The route was thronged with people
and the progress was a triumphal one. At
ntervals along tlio route children
> rcsented the emperor with flowers. His
najcsty bowed repeatedly in response to
the acclamations of the people. The senators
conducted the emperor from Brooks bridge
to the scene of the festivities , where a stone
was placed to commemorate the inclusion of
.ho city in tlio customs union. Dr.Versman
: cndercd the thanks of the senate , the burgo-
naster and the inhabitants of the city for the
emperor's presence. The emperor then took
n trowel and mallet , spread mortar over the
stone , tapped the stone and said : "For God's
loner , for the good of the fatherland , and for
.ho welfare of Hamburg. " After General
Von Moltkc , Herr Peterson and Herr Von
Bocttischer had made speeches the emperor
steamed through the customs canal and the
upper harbor canal to the new Elbe bridge
and inspected the forts.
The emperor on leaving the now Elbe
jridgc embarked on the steamer Patriot and
iroceeded down the Elbo. Ho stood on the
bridge of the steamer smoking a cigar and
chatting gaily with those around him. When
Professor Dulbruck approached his majesty
and was about to kiss his hand , the emperor ,
with a deprecatory gesture , grasped the
jrofessor's hand and shook it heartily. Tlio
emperor visited the principal ship-building
yards and docks on the river. During the
.rip ho conversed for a long time with Mr.
'arl ' Schur/ . The Patriot passed a number
ot steamers filled with spectators , and in
response to the cheers of the passengers the
emperor repeatedly saluted. His1 majesty
disembarked at St. Paul's landing and drove
LO the ICenish palace and thence tothoKunst
mile , where a banquet was given in his
honor.
Count Von Moltkc mounted the lofty mar
ble staircase of the ICunstlialle without as
sistance. Ho was followed by the emperor ,
who was conducted to the dining hall by the
two burgomaster' } . There wore sixty guests ,
neluding Minister Von Bocttischer , Minister
Von Gossler , Count Herbert Bismarck and
Senator Oswald. In the course of the ban-
pjet Dr. Peterson arose and said :
"In the name of the senate and house of
jurgcsscs , I respectfully and moat grate
fully thank your majesty for gracing our
janipuct. Our thanks arc the more profound
that your majesty has been pleased to visit
us after receiving the enthusiastic
: iomago of the mightiest peoples. At
the time of your last visit to
Hamburg our most joyful hopes followed
the youthful scion of the Hohcnzollern race.
To-day we salute the emperor , who has
grasped the reins of empire wlth a mighty
liand and Indefatigable strength. Wo sur
round our emperor with the firmest conII
dcncoand devoted love. May the 29th of
October bo 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 bo the guardian
of thn 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 I am 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. I regard 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
wcro 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. I trust 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 extended our
commerce , as well as our thoughts and
ideas , in foreign countries. Let us all
drink to the prosperity and good fortune of
the toxvn of Hamburg , hoping that God's
blessing will rest upon it. Long live Hum-
burg. "
The toast was received with three rounds
of hearty cheers. At 0:45 : p. m. the memoers
of the imperial company proceeded to the
Schwabo gallery and took coffee. Many
persons wcro presented to his majesty , who
smoked and chatted cheerfully with the
guests. At 7 ho drove in a closed carriage ,
owing to the rain , around the Alster uasin ,
and witnessed the fireworks. The display
was a complete success. Thence ho
drove to the railroad station , dense crowds
of people cheering him till the train
started. Count Von Moltko , throughout the
day , was an object of special attention. The
streets are almost impassable. The emperor
arrived at Fricderichsruho at S o'clock , The
town was decorated with flags and illumin
ated in honor of the emperor. The fire bri
gade , forming u guard of honor , and Prince
Bismarck , were waiting at the station. The
emperor greeted Prince Bismarck most
heartily , repeatedly shaking hands with him.
They drove together to the castle during n
heavy rain storm and amid the ringing
cheers of thousands.

iVincrican minister , replying to M. Goblet's
.oast to his health , said : "Tho 1oy that the
Americans experience in receiving the sta-
LHO of liberty was equal to the pleasure you
experienced in offering it. Before giv

thing itself. All of the great truths npon
which modern social order is based were
elaborated and spread throughout the world
by French genius. Wo received them with
ardor and finished by developing them. If
we haa succeeded in reconciling the liberty
of each with the liberty of all wo cannot for-
; ct that the germ came from France. The
nodern world gravitates toward the political
orbit traced by Franco and America. The
symbol which the statue of liberty repre
sents will become a reality. " The speech
was loudly applauded.i Mr. MeLnne offered

Opinions of Sackvlllc.
LONDON , Oct 9. The Pall Mall Gazette
writing about the Sackvillo incident , ex-
[ iresses tlio opinion that the excitement
caused by the letter in America is largely
simulated for political effect. It regrets that
the Americans are not superior to such out
bursts of feeling. Except for the chance of
catching the Irish vote by abusing England ,
it thinks that no one in America would care
two straws what Lord Saekville wrote , said
or thought.
Tlio Globe holds that tlio most satisfactory
denouement of the incident would be to send
nstruetions to Lord Sackvillo to keep Ills
opinions to himself while at Washington ,
American election tactics , in its opinion , are
outside tlio notice of any foicign power.
The St. James Gazette maintains that Lord
Sackvillc cannot remain at Washington. H
says ho should have known better than to
wall : into the net spread before his eyes.

Somewhat Unsatisfactory.
Drs Mm VIM , In. , Oct. 29. [ Special Tele-
to Tin : BII : : . ] Some time ago tlio railroad
commissioners , at tlio request of Governor
Larrabce , asked the different roads dolnfl
business In the state to furnish a statement
as to the value of their property , including
right of way , rolling stock , equipment , etc.
About half of the roads have replied "Un
known , " and tlio others say "u matter of
cuess work , " as the value fluctuates with
many changing conditions , and the commis
sioners are as competent to guess upon it as
any ono else. The answer of the Hock
Island was received to-day , and It is of the
scathing order , politely declining to turnish
the information do'sired , and gives some of
the reasons why it is Impossible. It ro-
miiulcd the commissioners that a year ago
they stated that they had no idea ,
why the legislature over a ked to
have them collect this Information , and
then it reminds them that In their public cx <
nmination sonio weeks ago they admitted
that the present schedule of rates was un
reasonable and calculated to force some
roads into bankruptcy , and yet they weru
asking the supreme court to compel tlio roada
to obey it. So the latter thinks that it would
be pretty hard to toll the value of a road
that was subject to such treatment , and nddt
that it can bo said that it is worth less than
it was a few years ago , and more than It will
bo a few years hence , owing to the hostlhi
legislation of the last general assembly and
the present attitude of the commissioners.
The latter tire quite indignant over the let
ter , and say that it is treating them with dis
respect , but they arc hound to proseciitu
their inquiries and now they have made a de
mand to know the salaries paid , from thu
highest official down to the lowest section
hand. _
