(Received October 30, 10.55 p.m.) LONDON. October 30. Colonel George Harvey, the United States Ambassador, speaking at a banquet- to Mr T. P. O’Connor, M.P., on the occasion cf his seventy-fifth birthday, said that great settlements had been made in the relations between Britain and the United States. “I have reason to believe, from what I hoard from Lord Curzon to-night, that before I sail on Saturday two or throe outstanding questions will be disposed of, and I shall have the great honour and happiness of leaving my successor an absolutely clean slate between the United States and the British Empire. (Prolonged cheers.) If so, I may notphysically die, but politically I shall pass away content, and, like Job, leave you in peace.” Lord Curzon said none had done more than Colonel Harvey to promote good relations between the two countries.
