which has already occupied the attention
OF the house for TWO days. was resumed
today under an agreement entered into
yesterday TO take vote al O'Clock this
afternoon.
Adams. Rep. Pa. who was minister to
Brazil under the Harrison administratio
favored the resolutions and said Mr.. Bay
ards long service and commanding posi-
ton as an American made his oflense
more nagrant and reprshensihle. To show
that Mr.. Bayard fully recognized his posi-
ton as the representative of the whole
country he read from speech delivered a
year ago by Mr.. Bayard at Wilmington.
Del. in which the ambassador said: II
represent no party as auba ssador to Great
Britain, but my country and my own peo-
ple.''
Fairchild. Rep, n. Y. took issue with
the majority of the foreign affairs commit
tee as to the character OF Mr.. Bayard's
onense. expressing regret that the COM
mittee had not brought In articles OF i'm
peachment instead OF censure. Mr.. Bay
ards utterances. he argued. constituted a
criminal libel within the definition of the
law. and. in view of his exalted position
a high crime against his country.
Wheeler. Dem. Ala, in opposition to the
resolutions, made the FIRST reference to the
tariff today. He said this attack on Am
setts. a state that believed in protection for
protectors sake. Maj. Mckinley had. on
this floor. argued In favor of hign protec-
ton for iron and cotton ties. as absolutely
necessary to their production in this coun-
try. Cotton ties had been placed on the
free list by the Wilson bill. yet he read a
telegram from Youngstown. O.. chron-
icling the first shipment of cotton ties to
Bombay. India.
Et.tn ne~x r.
vote for the second OF the resolutions lay
ing down the weIl-established general
principle that our representatives at for
eign countries should abstain from parti-
san speeches. but he could not vote for the
resolution that censured Bayard by name
Willis, Rep. Del. was the FIRST Repub-
lican to announce that he opposed censur-
ing 1ir. Bayard- Like Hutchinson. ne said
he would be willing to vote for the second
resolution. but he could not vote for the
resolution of censure. First. state pride
would lead him TO vote against IT, He re-
spected Mr.. Bayard as a man Of force and
distinction. He did not think, however
that he betrayed any confidence when he
said that Mr.. Bayard was born aristo-
crat posing as a democrat. His instincts
were feudal in nature. Proceeding, Willis
drew the members around him In thrangs
and aroused great enthusiasm both on the
door and in the galleries by his euloyy OF
the value of the birihright of liberty and
his outspoken contempt for the snobs sy-
cophants and sirnpletons who desecrated
their own country.
Turner, Dem, Ga, closed the debate
for the opposition to the resolutions in a
strong ten-minute speech. His theme
like that of Mr.. Bayard at Edinburgh
would, he said. be Individual freedom.
the germ of national prosperity and pro-
chevalier. With contempt he described
the triumphant Republican party turning
away from It's duty to visit its wrath and
indigna tion upon a member Of his party
for a trivial act What prodigy what an
exploit In polities' The question was not
whether Mr.. Bayard had violated good
taste in his address. but whether II was
in good taste for the house of representa-
tives TO condemn him for what he had
done. Like Tucker yesterday, he paid an
eloquent tribute to Mr.. Bayard for his
service TO the South in the days Of her
despair. and then proceeded 20 recall
again the Chandler interview. ami the
charges OF ievying on the protected in
drstries by the Mckinley agents.
Grosvenor. Rep. Ohio. tried vainly to
interrupt Turner. ''You he'd your time"
said Turner. when you stood over the
grave OF Gen. Schenck yesterday defend
