WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. 1t is believed
that Mr. Bayard, secretary of State, will
very soon retire to private life. The death
of his wife has completely crushed him.
When his daughter died few days ago
he was almost Frustrated, and would then
have insisted upon resigning from bis
official position had not his friends per
suaded him to reconsider. He wants to
pass the remainder of his days in quietude
and out OF the hurry -burly of public office
where there is nothing but the jOstle of
selfshness and the coldness of fOrmalty.
The remains of Mrs. Bayard will leave
here tins afternoon for Wilmington, and
will be accompanied by secretary l}ayard
and members of his family. Most of the
members of the cabinet will attend the
funeral at Wilmington tomorrow.
LATEH-'rhe remains of Mrs Bayard

hushcd silence which was not broken till
he had taken his seat in carriage. The
