fearful amount of sickness attended by high

New York dispatch: The story recently
printed that Senator Bayard had written to
Gov. Cleveland an acceptance of the treasury
portfolio has attracted wide attention, and
careful investigation disclosed to all that it
was founded on truth. II is said that the in
fiuence of the Belmont family was brought to

the Delaware senator returned to this CITY
from Albany he had positively declined to en-

ate. While stopping over in this city, how
ever, 1t is said that he was met by an emissary
OF August Belmont, who prevailed upon him
TO reconsider his decision.
Mr.. Belmont has supported the senator for
the presidency ever since 1872, and has been a
liberal contributor to the funds raised to push
Mr.. Bayards candidacy before every convep-
ton since then, and as a result he has consid-
cradle influence with him, and, so the story
goes. had exerted it to get him to accept the
treasury department.
Mr.. william G. Whitney, whose name is sta
red as a cabinet certainty, and who is said to
nave his eye on the treasury. is reported as
very much put out that Bayard should show
a preference for the place.
