THE MURDER POLICY.

UNCLE SAM’S PROTEST. STRONG REPLY TO GERMAN NOTE PREDICTED. NO MORE TIME FOR PARLEYING (Received Julv 20, 5.5 NEW "YORK, July 20. It Is expected: that the reply to the Gorman Note to-morrow will be sharp and to tlio point. The “Tribune” says America won’t tolerate more German evasion. The time for parleying, is past. The “New York Times” says another attack will force America, to seek redress finally. The newspapers agree that the German attempt to sink the Orduna was a gross and premeditated violation of American rights. No doubt if it had been successful America would have been faced with the most menacing and critical situation in her history.
