BAYARD WON'T TALK. COMMENTS OF
LONDON PRESS.
LONDON, Dec. Ii. United States Am
bassador Bayard steadfastly declines to be
interviewed by anybody on the subject of
the resolution of impeachment introduced
by Congressman Barrett in the House OF
Representatives, yesterday. He has, with
out exception, informed all callers that he
had nothing to say.
The st. James Gazette, commenting
upon the attack made upon Ambassa-
dor Bayard in the house OF Repre-
sentatives yesterday, says: "Mr. Bay
ard may decline to retain his post
after the attack that was made upon him
in Congress yesterday, and if he resigns
it will be regretted here, as he is fine
example Of a dignified, upright and elo-
qnent American statesman. But his al
legged indiscretion was SO deliberate that
we doubt whether he had not contemplate
ed its probable result. We should resent
any British minister making a speech in a
foreign country attacking a vital part Of
our policy"
The Globe says: s'Mr. Bayard permit
ted himself to indulge i'll freedom Of
speech about his own countrymen, rulers,
and politics that would have been impos-
sible for diplomat OF the Old World and
