WASHINGTON, D. C.. March 20
The house to-day. after three days OF
debate adopted resolution censuring
Thomas f. Bayard. ex-secretary OF
state now ambassador TO the court OF
8, James, for utterances delivered In an
address to the Boston. England. gram
mar school, and in an address before the
Edinburgh. Scotland, Philosophical In
,,l,ute last fall. The vote stood $50
toI in favor Of the first resolution and
isI 10 50 in favor OF the second. Five
R4publlcans broke away from party
lines and voted against the resolution
OF censure and six Democrats voted Tor
Il All the Republicans and eight DEM
orrlts voted for the second resolution.
Mr Willis, a Republican from Mr..
Rsvard's state, made speech IN oppo-
sItipn 10 the first resolution and hr.
Bailey Dem. Texas,), not only en-
dorsed the resolutions but declared that
n man who delivered such utterances as
Mr.. Bayard had at Boston was 'un-
worthy to represent the United states
anywhere and at any time.
There was a report about the mouse
after the resolutions had been adopted
that Ambassador BayaTd would resign
but close friends OF the administration
asserted positively that there was ao-
snlutely no foundation for the rumors'
which they did not hesitate 10 ridie9Ie:
THE resolutions adopted after recittng
the Objectionable portions of Mr.. Bay
ards speech. were as follows:
Resolved, That It is the sense OF the
house OF representatives that Thomas
+ Bayard, ambassador OF the United
States 10 Great Britain,in publicly using
the language above quoted has commit
ted an offense against diplomatic pro-
prIety and an abuse OF the privileges
Of his exalted position, which should
make him the representative or the
whole country and not OF any political
marty. Such utterances were wholly IN
consistent with that prudent, delicate
and scrupulous reserve which he him:
self. while secretary Of state, enJoined
upon all diplomatic agents OF the United
States.
body OF his countrymen who believe
in the policy OF protection. IN the other
Who believe that Americans nre cnpa-
bls Of self-government Therefore, as
the Immediate representative OF the
American people and in their name. we
condemn and censure the said utter
ances OF Thomas F. Bayard.
Resolved further, That in the opinion
Of the house OF representatives public
speeches by our diplomats or consular
officers abroad which display partisan,
ship or which condemn any political
party or party policy or organization OF
citizens in the United Staes are in
direlectIon OF the duty OF such otficers'
impair their usefulness as public ser
wants, and diminish the confidence
which they should always command ut
home and abroad.
The house later considered the con-
tested election case Of Benoit vs.. Boat
ner. for the Fifth Louisiana district,
and the report OF the majority declaring
the seat vacant on account OF frnud and
intimidation at the election, was
adopted, I3l to 80. Three Republicans
voted for Boatner.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Mitchell. of Oregon, to-day reported to
the senate from the elections committee
the Joint resolution proposing an
amendment 10 the constitution. provid-
ing for the election OF senators by the
direct votes OF the people. The commit-
tee, says the accompanying report, has
approached the subject OF the proposed
change in the method OF eiecting scra-
tors with n full appreciation OF the
gravity OF the subject and OF the I'M
portance OF the public interests IN,
volved. The objections that are raised
to the proposed change are discussed
very fully. The amendment, II is held,
does not in the slightest degree trench
upon the system upon which our gov
ernmcnt ls founded.
The objection Is not tenRble that any
proposed change In the mode OF electlnS
senators can be properly regarded as an
attempt to deprive the states. respec-
lively as states. In their sovereign or
political capacity, OF their legal repre-
srutntion In the senate. II proposes
change In the mode-Only this and moth

Many Replies Received by the Ways aud
Means Committee.
WASHINGTON March 20.-General
response is being made by the CONNER
cial and manufacturing interests OF the
country to the circular letters addressed
to them by the ways and means sub
committee on reciprocity and CONNER
cial treaties, inviting expressions OF
opinion from them rs to the adviSability
OF endeavoring to renew the reciprocity
agreements made with many foreign
countries under the terms OF the Nc
KinIey tariff act. The replies so far re-.
ceivcd number scventy-nlne.. including
tho largest manufacturing concerns
east OF the Mississippi river, and those
most heavily Interested In the export
trade. There Is IN unquestionable pre-
ponderence OF desire for the renewal OF
the reciprocity agreements noted In the
replies. and in many cases the writer's
cite figures to show the great dlmInu-
tIon In their export trade that has fol-
lowed the repeal OF the provision OF the
law under which thete agreements ex
listed.
Three great commercial organizations
are on the committees list OF cores
pondents, and all OF them are recorded
as most cmphAtIcally favoring reciproc-
ity. They nre the Millers' Association.
OF Milwaukee. C. a. Pillsbury. presl-
dent: the Cincinnati Chamber Of Com
merce and Merchants Exchage, and the
Cleveland Chamber OF Commerce.
or the seventy-nlne replies, Bixty-four
are strongly In advocacy Of n renewal OF
the reciprocity agreements, as they
were under the Mckinley act: three are
opposed to anything In the nature OF re-
cfprocity or that cohtemplates diserimi-
nation in trade with the world: four are
inclined to favor qualified kind OF re-
clproCity agreement, and four are not
responsive TO the direct questions OF the
committee and merely tnke advantage
OF the opportunity to ventIlate some prl-
vate grievances.

Gated on Greasy Fork OF the Kentucky
river, about twenty-five miles from this
place. Persons living in the vicinity

and chunks OF black substance came
rolling down the side OF the mountain
scattering In every direction for hun
dreds OF yards along the valley. The
house OF Mrs. Hester Yates, on the
mountain side, was demolished and the
logs scattered In every direction. Mrs.
Yates and family. Consisting OF several

WASHINGTON, d. c.,March 9o.-ThS
cruiser Montgomery has returned to
Fort Monroe from target practice out
ride the cApes, which sets at rest the
story that she was endeaVoring TO head
OF the Bermuda, with General Gprcla's
party OF CubAns aboard. The fact that
none OF the vessels OF the North ATTAIN
tic squadron has been sent on this quest
10 regarded as evidence that the navy
department does not believe It has au-
thority TO capture vessels which leave
our ports under conditions similar to
those surrounding the Bermuda case
