BAYARD AFFRONTED.
MR.. SCOTT UNDERMINEs HIS DIPLo-
MACY WITH CHINA.
The Dignified, Peacelovlng and Austere
Secretary of State Raises a Wind and
Gets German to Help Him in the
Senate.
Special Dispatch to The Appear.

Special Dispatch to The Appear.
WASHINGTON, Sept. THE appearance
OF Mr.. German in the Senate today, NOV
ing for q reference of SCOTS Chinese bill
to the committee ON foreign affairs, is
thought here to indicate serious state Of
affairs in the cabinet. Mr.. Bayard is a
peace-loying man, full of dignity and re-
serve, and sincerely believes in arbitration
and diplomacy, rather than the aggressive
and abrupt methods of politics in the set
Element OF public questions. 1t is hardly
necessary, therefore, to say that both the
retaliation message and the Scott Chinese
bill offended Mr.. Bayard's sense of the
duties and requirements oil this
government on the matters in
dictated. Nevertheless, without con-
sultation with the Secretary OF
State the retaliation message has been
written and the Scott bill with the Presi-
dents knowledge and approval, has passed
the Democratic House Of Representatives.
The result is that Mr.. Bayard himself is
| aifronted, and the report is that he has
called at the. White-house and expressed
| himself with much emphasis to the Presi-
dent. He is especially aggrieved at this
| Chinese business for the reason that the
treaty negotiated by him is still pending
and he feels himself, in his official capa-
city, responsible to the Chinese govern
ment for the integrity OF the position of
this government on that subject This
aspect OF the case, it is said, is
behind Mr. Germans motion OF today
The President is said to have sympathized
with Mr.. Bayard, which somewhat healed
the present aspect of the case, and to have
requested MIR. German to take steps to
correct the impression as far as possible
This is the story current here tonight, and
possesses the elements OF probability.
Certain il is that Mr.. Bayard's Impotence
at the conduct OF Mr.. Scott is outspoken
and undisguised. lie estGems il n re1ec-
ton not only upon the administration,
but upon the country.

The attorney general then details the TO
