AMBASSADOR BAYARD.

lie Resents Some Charges of Political
Manipuiatlon-Need of an Onicial Resi-
dence for the American Ambassador.
New York Herald speriaL
LONDON, Sept. 20.-Ambassador Bay
ards good humor is somewhat ruflled
by story in one of the New York
papers concerning an alleged bargain
between himself and Mr.. Willard Sauls.
bury, by the terms of which Mr.. Bayard
would succeed Mr.. Higgins seat in the
United States Senate, and Mr.. Salisbury
to Mr.. Bayard's position as Ambassador
to the Court of ST. James.
~ have never said the Ambassador,
"been party to political deal or bar
gain by which my own personal am
billions were to be gratitied. | have
never allowed personal reasons to iu-
t1uence my political action.
81 know Mr.. Salisbury as an intel
ligent young man who has married n
very charming wife and one we'll en-
lowed, believe, with this worlds
goods. But should imagine he has as
much idea Of seeing himself Ambassa-
dor to England as of seeing himself
holding the same responsible position at
Timbuctoo.
81 see that reference is made to the
fact that Mr.. Salisbury could better
afford than the expenditure necessary
for the maintenance of the position of
United States Ambassador in England.
This Is very possibly true; fer l need
not disguise from you the fact, as shall
not disguise it from my countrymen
later on, that the present salary attaching
to this post is, in itself, hardly sufficient
to enable its occupant to bear himself
with the dignity becoming the repre-
sentative of great nation. For myself,
of course, | don't complain, nor shall l
publicly refer to the matter until my
term Of office is ended.
81 shall then most probably, however,
urge on the government and my country
men the ACCESSIBILITY of providing for
my successor and his successor in their
turn a suitable house in suitable part
of London. This would relieve the am
bassador of considerable expense, and
ut the same time would have a bene-
fetal effect In other ways. AT times it is
incumbent on the official representative
of America in England to give certain
receptions and so forth to his country
people, and this would partake of a
more official character and the guests
thereat would probably feel more ut
home if they were held in building
which, through the government, would
be directly under the control of the
American nation. Mind you, in all this
| am speaking in the most unofficial and
general manner, and only because the
subject has been more than once re.
ferred to in the American press in no am.
