REED AND BARRETT.
1t is stated this evening on what Is
deemed to he excellent authority that
Speaker Reed was not only previously
consulted regarding Barretts resolution
20 impoach Ambassador Bayard. but was
shown the document. and that he con-
scented 10 recognize the Massachusetts
congressman for the purpose Of intro
ddcing II. II thia proves 20 be true. there
was conspiracy 10 violate all parlia-
mtnlary rules and courtesy. for which
Reed Is open TO consure. If not some
thing much worse. The Democrats lost
their opportunity when they failed to
raise the point Of order that all privi-
lcsed questions must be reported within
one week after their reference to a
committee. and the fact that there was
no Committee on Foreign Affairs, and
'N*N ~ i'bNil CoQiQ not nave been made
inside OF three weeks would have de-
prived the resolution Of its privieced
character.
The matter is now under the considera-
uon OF the leading Democratic parlia-
mentarians here, and. If possible, the mat
ter viii be brought before the House in n
shape that viii compel Speaker Reed to
reverse his action under his own rules
OF the Fifty-frst Congress. which now
govern the House In this event he may
nave to make such an apology as will
have the effect Of weakening his power
In the chair for the remainder OF the
session. and the Bayard incident Will
turn out to be a rather fortunate one for
the Democrats.
