The Foreign Affairs Committee.

SECRETARY BAYARD SAID TO BE OPPOSED TO
EX-GOv. CURTIN FOR CHAIRMAN.
The strongest opposition to Governor Curtin
for the Craftsmanship of the House committee
on foreign affairs is said to come from Secretary
Bayard. Though there has not been any vio-
lent rupture between the two men, their rela-
tions are said never to have been friendly, and
it is reported that Mr.. Bayard has signifie TO
Speaker Carlisle that Ii would be less embar
RAISING to the head OF the state department If
some one else were placed at the head of the
committee. The antagonism between Mr.
Bayard and the Pennsylvania statesmen is
said to have grown out of the fact that they
have not given him their support in the national
convention. having had their own man to press
forward. In this connection it is stated that
Secretary Bayard has not, since he has been
Secretary of State, made q single diplomatic
appointment that was recommended by either
Mr.. Randall or Governor Curtin.

A FALSE SCENT.
The annual fox hunt Of the Deaf and Dumb

AS he Travelled through the country a distance
OF probably ten or twelve miles he would go
through the thickesI woods and over the
toughest roads that could be found. Two hours
after he started twenty-fOur young men,
dressed In cOiOrs and representing the hounds,
chase. When they arrived in the neighbour
hood of Mt. Olivet cemetery the residents be-
came frightened and all left their homes, TAX
ing to the road. thinking the young men were
fastened to Officer Slack residence and in
formed him that party OF escaped cOnvicts
from the wOrkhouse were going through the
country, and had injured Officer Mark wood.
Officer Slack saddled his black mare BEST
and drove up the road at three-minute gait.
Near the cemetery he found Officer Markwood
who told him that the crowd had passed him
and gone towards Muliigans hill, and for Slack
again and was closely followed by Officer Mark
wood on his california Joe, and Officer Kirby
on his ''Charles County Slipper Away the
trio went and followed the torn paper for a dis
party OF hunters on Col. Alexanders farm.
HALT" called officer Slack, but they heard
him not. Bang went the report OF his pistol,
and and the young IN, men o stopped do They
realized the state of the case The officers, how
ever, did not want to acknowledge they mad
been fooled and SO they informed the alleged
hounds that they We're trespassing on the
fox hunt WAS, of course, broken up, and the
officers drove slowly home.
