TO BAYARD's RESCUE

Foreign Relations Committee.

Vote on the Matter.

A Resolutions of Censure Will Be Re-
ported by the Maj arity-A Strict Part
Vote on the Matter.
Washington, February la resolution
censuring Ambassador Bayard for the
sentiments expressed by him in his re-
cent English speeches was adopted BIZ
the House foreign com mittee this after
noon. Two resolutions were reported.
The first censured Mr.. Bayard by name
for the language used by him in his Bos-
ton and Edinburg speeches and moor
porate with this was second resolu-
ton expressing the disapp1oval of the
committee over representatives abroad
discussing American political affairs and
displaying partisanship, and the con-
domination OF political parties or other
reputable organizations of American citi-
.zens.
The subject of Mr.. Bayard's alleged in
discretions was fully discussed. The
discussion was precipitated BY the calling
up by Chairman Hit of the resolutions
which were prepared respectfully by Mr.
Pearson of North Carolina and Mr., Cous.
ms OF Iowa. Party lines were at once
strictly drawn, the Democrats opposing
any censure of Ambassador Bayard,
while the Repn blioans insisted that his
offence deserved a rebuke from the Amer
Kentucky and Money of Mississippi
championed Mr.. Bayard' cause. Mr.
McCreary contended that the United
States had never impeached any of its
officials for language used by them and
that impeachment was the last recourse
for ind ctable offenses only. Such reso-
buttons, he declared, were nm intrusion
upon the Executive. The President
nominaues ministers and ambassadors
the Senate confirmed them, and the
House had nothing to do with them.
This position was warmly com bated by
Mr.. Cousins, who showed that large
number OF impeachmsuts had occurred
for offenses not indietable and he knew
of ole instance where a United States
judge had been iInpeached because of q
certain speech delivered by him.
Mr.. MoCreary urged delay in the mat
ter, requesting that the original
committee of three should be enlarged by
the addition of two other mem bers who
should take time to consider the matter
thoroughly before reporting to the full
committee, the importance of the subject
being such that hasty action should be
deprecated This was promptly voted
down, the argument advanced by the
republicans being that the mattec was
now before the full committee and that
reference to a new subcommittee was
unnecessary. The resolutions were
adopted by strict party vote, with the
exception that Mr.. Newlands, of Nevada,

carnival of the New Jersey Athletic club
was held at Madison Square Garden to-
night and was undoubtedly the crack
indoor meeting OF the year. About 2, 900
persons were present. Tommy Coneff

and he had for his most dangerous op-
ponents Charles H. Bean of Boston, the
fve-mile champion, and B. Jertbe-g of
the New Jersey Athletic club. In the

George W. orion of the University of
Pennsylvania, flyer, with his fellow
coilegiates, Fred Coats and N. Hitch
born, expected to not only furnish the
winner, but also to lower the existing
record. The entry of B. J. Wefers in the
50-yard handicap, in which the George
town college Splinter was penalized a
foot. invested the handicap with a little
less interest than attached to the cham
pionship. Wefers was expected to lower
