Mr.. BAYARD COMING HOME
His Wilmington Residence Being Reno
waited for His Occupancy.
HE MAY NOT RETURN TO HIS POST
l. is Hinted That Our Ambassador is Dis
satisfied With the Action of Congress
and the Drain on His Private PurseI
by His Residence Abroad.

WILMINGTON, Del, March 81.-There is
a strong supposition here that Ambassa-
dor Bayard is contemplating resigning
from his post. While his friends refuse to
give any definite particulars. they hint
that Mr.. Bayard is dissatisfied with the
action of congress, and also that the drain
on his private purse necessary to keep up
the dignity of his diplomatic position has
reached such point that he can no longer
maintain it. The story is not confirmed
by his son, Thomas f. Bayard, Jr., but
certain developments indicate that the
ambassador means to return to this coun.
try for at least an indefinite period.
When Mr.. Bayard took his family tc
England two years ago he rented his house
at Clayton and Sycamore streets to How
ard Pyle, the artist, and it was then gen.
orally understood that the lease was to ex.
tend until the time of Mr.. Bayard's re.
turn to resume his residence here. In ODE
dience to notification received last week
MIR. Pyle is preparing to leave the prem
ises, and certain local contractors have
been ordered to at once begin the work OF
renovation and repair.
The story of Mr.. Bayards return was
rumored last week. when, it was said, he
meant to visit this country next summer
to participate in the campaign in Della
ware. Local politicians, however, do not
credit this theory.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Representa-

mitted favorable report on the resolu-

by direct vote Of the people "Year after
year." the report says the passage of
such an amendment to the constitution
has been demanded by the people, and the
bitter experience of the present year adds
to the strength of the argument that there
should be a change in the mode of elect
ing senators, making them more sensitive

Senators Will Start Another Prolonged
Discussion.
WASHINGTON, March 3l.-The senate is
to have revival of financial and bond
discussion as result of an animated de-
bate shortly before the session closed yes
terday. Mr.. Peffer's resolution for the ap-
pointment of "A special committee of five
senators to investigate recent bond issues
has been relegated to the calendar, owing
to the opposition of Mr. Hill, but it was
reached in the regular order yesterday
Again Mr.. Hill sought to have the resolu-
tion go over, but he was met by energetic
protests, not only from Mr.. PETER, but
also from Mr.. WOlcott and Mr. Teller.
The latter gave notice that further delays
would not be resisted, and Mr. PETER fol-
lowed with notice that he would today
move his bond inquiry resolution, as soon
as Mr.. George concludes speech on the
Dupont case This promises to bring
test vote unless dilatory tactics are re-
sorted to.

bill and disposed of fifteen of the hundred

head of the appropriation committee, and
his predecessor, Mr. Sayers, of Texas, in

past appropriations. Mr. Cannon in the
course of his remarks expressed the opin-
ion that the appropriations for this session
could not fall below S506,000,000. The
action of the committee in appropriating
for contract work only until March, 1897,
was attacked, but Mr.. Cannon justified it
on the ground that the same thing had
been done last year in the case of the forti-
fications bill.
