BAYARD BANQUETED
An Indicatio That British Blood Is
Thicker Than Water

LONDON, Dec, l8.-The annual banquet
of the Actors, Benevolent fund at the Hotel
Metropole tonight was the occasion of a
notable public demonstration of good feel
ing towards the United States ambassador,
Hon. Thomas F. Bayard
The guests who sat down at the banquet
numbered $50 actors and dramatists.
among them being George Alexander, S. B.
Bancroft, Edward O'Connor Terry and
Henry Arthur Jones. -ir Francis Jeune
presided and at his right sat Mr.. Bsyard.
The United States ambassador seemed
to have lost the depressed air which he
wore this evening, and chatted with his
neighbors at the table, and smiled and
talked with great animation.
Those who anticipated that Mr.. Bay
ards appearance in public at this critical
time of the relations between the United
States and Great Britain would produce an
expression of the public feeling on vene-
zuela that might h We proved embarrass-
ing 10 him were disappointed. In tho re-
ception room before dnner there was
n,thiDR unusual in tbs. reception accorded
him. After dinner, when the time came
for Sir Francis Jeune to propose the toast
to the actors benevolent fund, he said, in
in The course Of his speech, he hoped the
only rivalry between England and America
would be histrionic rivalry, AID that
there never would be serious differences
between the two nations which wore, after
all, brothers. This sentiment was greeted
with loud cheers by all the company.
sir Edwin Arnold, In proposing the Stage
and the Drama, said he laughed at the
idea of difference between England and
America. and Mr.. Comings Carr toasted
the friends across the sea.
Mr.. Bs, ard, upon rising to respond, was
greeted with q perfect tumult Of applause,
aud bis toast was drunk with cheers. Mr..
Bayard was percepiibly aud deeply moved.
He said: "fonight We arc on common
are some things IL 10 not possible to
divide"
BY way of illustration he repeated the
Bible story founded on the judgment of
Solomon over the dispute of two women,
both Of whom claimed to be the mother of
tho same child. He then proceeded:
Gentlemen: 1t cannot be. They cannot
be divided. They are children of the
brain, and of the heart, and of a common
ancestry. do not think that their friend
ship will ever be permitted to die. | will
answer for my kindred and your kindred
beyond the sea-"
These inferential references to the cur
rent affairs were greeted with repea ed
cheers and with the greatest possible en-
thusiasm.
Mr.. Bayard concluded: 1.-THE time is

try and join hands across the swelling
The ambassador then resumed his seat
amid q scene OF unusual enthusiasm.

TODAY'S PROGRAn

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-1he Post to-
morrow will say: 1.-THE resolu ion which
the house passed yesterday with unanimity
providing for the commission to Venezuela
in accordance with the recommendation
of the president, will he laid before the
senate today. Contrary to the general ex-
pectation, it will not be passed by that
body. In addition to this the resolution
passed by the house for adjournment for
the holiday recess, to begin next Friday,
will not he agreed to by the senate. Con-
aress will be in session until next Tuesday,
at the present outlook, and it may be here
until even a later date"
The reasons given tor it's failing to PASS
the bill promptly are that the Republican
senators and many of the Democrats are
opposed TO giving the president all the
power which would he invesaA in him by
the resoluti n. II will be insisted, says The
Post, that the commission sfAei he omi-
mated and confirmed by the seeate instead

THE COMMISSION
British Editors Comment Upon the
House Bill

The Times says: "The house of repre-
sentatives made precipitate reply to
President CieveIand's message. Had it
been allowed q little more time to get over
its excitement, probably it's vote would
have at least been preceded by decorous
discussion of the merits of the case.

Ger ain section.
Remarlxing upon the American law and
legal opinion, the editorial proceeds: "a
curious evidence of the levity with which
MIR. Cleveland has adopted his aggressive
policy is found in the fact tia h. actually
reduced the Monroe doctrine to nuliity

make of her own fire.. will. England might

to be weighed, the American people are

probation of q doctrine of which he made
temporary capital, and when they realize
the monstrous and insulting character of
the demand preferred in their name, they
will recognize that our attitude is the only
attitude that the men of their blood could
possibly adopt, or that they could see us
adopt without blush.
The Times argues to justify Lord Salis-
bury against the critics who ink that he
might have avoided ruffling American slis-
capabilities by affarding a discussion of
the Monroe doctrine on the ground that a
failure to discuss that doctrine would have
embarrassed future negotiations.
The Times, together with the ID lily News,
ana other papers, again reminds America
that she never offers TO assume responsi.
biiity for the foreign policies of the petty
republics.
THE STANDARD
The Standard (Conservative) says:
While the fight lasts we must expect
grandiose talk and ridiculous plans, but
we have an abiding faith in the good sense
of the American people and we feel sure
on realizing the fact calmly they
will admit that President Cleve-
land has altogether overdone his part.
Undoubtedly the New York Worlu knows
what it is talking about. For once almost

travagant assumptions In the presence
of the Amazing demands congress is in

rlEXICO SPEAKS
CITY OF MEXIC Dec. 1S.-The Mexican
Herald says war with England would be an
unspeakable calamity. 1t means a terrible
blow to the rising prestige and rredom-
nance of the Anglo-Saxon race. 1t would
probably result in the assumption of
leadership in the worlds affairs by some
great nation hostile to the increasi x pre-
dominance of the English speaking coun-

The fate of a mighty breed of man hapgs

nets of Washington and London.
The English speaking colony here ia ex'
cited over the war talk between the Unit d

ion is that war would be a calamity to the
Anglo saxon race. American politicians
consider That Cleve and's emphatic in

the principle fixed place in International

La Liberte says: "a controversy is

same chronological origin and who are ac-
custumed to use big words, but whose col
passion does not go so far as letting-of-
blood affair. It lis only false alarm and
will certainly be arranged"
JOURNAL DIES DEFEATS
The Journal des ebats says: 1--WE can
not imagine an election maneuver in such
a grave question Ii is prob bic and mus
be hoped for that the good sense of the
statesmen at Washington and London will
prevent the dispute from being envenomed
to the extent of an open rupture, In spite
OF the excited tone of the newspapers OF
both countries.'
THE TEMPS
The Temps says: "A fratricidal struggle
between Great Britain and the great re-
public of the world would seem crime
against humanity and civilizations" and
adds: "As 1t is admissible that England
can accept the arrogant preteDsions of the
message. 30 il To be hoped that she will
discover a pacific aud equitable mode OF
settlement of the difficulty. As to an An
gIo-Ainerican war. 1t is / possible. These
periodical ebuilitions cannot result in such
a crime against CIVILIZATION. In 1888,
when Mr. Cleveland was on the eve of a
presidential campaign, he acted as q
Chauvlnist in giving Sir Lionel rackvi le-
West hts passports Nolhing further was
said. There will be a great deal of query,
chiefly because OF M. bayard's mai-ad-

have excited the people, but all will finally
be arranged.'
REPUBLICA FRANCHISE
The Repubica Franchise says: "It is
In every way big affair which has fallen
into Lord ,aiisbury's hands. They would
be sorry in London to draw the United
States into quarrel in view of our frontier
troubles with Brazil, but hey must not
imagine that he will hasten to play upon
