BAYARD APT TO BE cENSURED.
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE on FOR
EIGs AFFAIRS ACTS.

Resolutions CritIcising the Speeches
of the Ambassador Adopted by a
strict Party VOte-Chairman Hit
TO Present Them to the House To-
morrOw-A Minority Report Also to
he Submitted.
Washington, Feb. 1.-ResoutIons CEN
suring Ambassador Bayard for the senti-
ments expressed by him IN his recent
English speeches were adopted this after
noon by the committee on foreign affairs
Of the House.
Two resolutions will be reported. The
first censures Mr.. Bayard by name for the
language used by him in his Boston and
Edinburgh speeches. and Incorporated
with tho second resolution IS an express
sion of the disapproval Of the COMMITTEES
OF our representatives abroad discussing
American political affairs and displaying
partlsanship, and the condemnation OF
political parties or other reputable or
ganlzations OF American citizens.
Chairman Hit will present the resolu-
tions with majority report to the House.
on Monday.
, A report embodying the minority report
viii probably be submitted by Mr.. Dlns-
more of Arkansas.
Chairman Hit declines TO make public
the text OF the resolution. The preamble
of the first resolution recites the language
used IN both speeches, and condemns AM
bassador Bayard for its use. The tenor
OF the second resolution does not dlffer
from that outlined above. It is said to-
take the form of a rule of conduct for am-
bassadOrs ana other representatives
abroad, reafiirming in stronger language
the rules in vogue at the state depart
ment during the period that Mr.. Bayard
hlled the office of secretary.
This conclusion was not reached until
the entire subject OF Mr.. Bayard's alleged
indiscretions had been fully discussed by
the committee. The discussion was pre-.
cipitated by the calling up by Chairman
Hit OF the foregoing resolutions, which
were prepared respectively by Mr.. Pearson
OF North Carolina and Mr. Cousins OF
Louisiana. Party lines were at once strict
ly drawn, the democrats opposing any
censure OF Ambassador Bayard, while the
republicans insisted that his Offense de-
served a rebuke from the American con-
Bress. MeSsrs. McCreary OF Kentucky
and Money of Mississippi championed Mr.
Bayard's course. Mr.. McCreary contend-
ed that the United States had never i'm
peached any OF its officials for language
used by them, and that impeachment was
last recourse for indictable offenses only.
IL took two hours and a half for the
committee to reach its decision. II met at
10 o'clock this morning and at 1880 o'clock
recess was taken until ]: 80 O'Clock. The
afternoon session of the committee was
brief. There was practically no further dis
cussion of the proposed resolutions, which
were at once called up by the chair. They
were adopted by a strict party vote with
the exception that Mr.. Newlands Of Ne
yer party, Joined the republicans while
the democrats as unanimously opposed
them. All the members Of the committee
were present except Mr. Draper. rep, OF
Massachusetts,.

bett. and Dan A Stuart of Texas, the
third party to the agreement, who offers
a purse of $4,000 for the fight. Stuart

$4,000 to $4,000 that Corbett would
defeat Fitzsimmons in a finish fight
He also said he would bet $4,000 even
that Corbett could knock out F'itzsim-
mons in ten rounds. Fitzsimmons, it
it said, will leave for England next
week. Brady announced that if this
was a. fact. Corbett would follow him on

PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL.
Majority Report of the House Com
mittee Presented.

WASHINGTON, April 2o.-Chairman
Powers of the House Committee on Pa
cific Railroads to-day presented the ma
jority report of that committee on the
bill recently reported to settle the debt
Of the bond aided railroads to the Gov
eminent. The report is voluminous. and
covers all material points 1t discusses
the history of the issue of the bonds,
the conditional provisions of their re-
payment under the Acts of 1862 and
1854 and the Thurman Act, a detailed
statement of the debts of the two roads
on January /, 1897, the date when the
law will go into effect, a discussion of
the different modes of settlement and
an analysis Of the bill.
1t is argued in the report that the
Acts of Congress which prescribed the
provisions to be made by the COM
panies for the repayment of their bonds
and interest have been fully complied
with by the corporations 1T was be-
lieved by Congress-" the report contin-
ues, that the provisions so prescribed
to be made would suffice to discharge
the subsidy bonds and interest thereon
at maturity. As matter of fact, they
have not sufficed for that purpose
The report shows that the companies
have repaid to the United States sums
which in the aggregate are almost
equal to the entire amount of the sub
sidy bonds. In the case of the Union
Pacific Company the repayments will
exceed by $5,000,000 the entire amount
of these bonds.
But for the noteworthy decline in the
rates of transportation and the greater
appreciation of the credit of the United
States" the report proceeds, sit is be-
lieved that the amount paid in would
have sufficed to pay the whole balance
of the account for principal and inter-
est, or so large a proportion thereof
that the balance of the indebtedness
could be reasonably secured
Reference is made to the fact that
the army and navy transportation and
postal service to the Pacific before the
construction of the roads cost the Gov
eminent annually $7.351 900, while he
cost of much greater transportation in
1894 was only $1.753,000
The total Indebtedness which will be
| due from the Union Pacific in round
numbers on January 1, 1897. will be
S92, O0O,0 600 Deducting from this $3S.-
0OO,000 for payments to the sinking
fund and credits for transportation and
cash, leaves a net debt on the foregoing
date of SOD, 100000
In the case of the Central Pacific the
gross Indebtedness is $40, 100000. the
credits $1S000.00O the net balance be-
| ing $57,000.000.
The committee believes that $4,000
| 900 is a fair average of their annual
| earnings that can be used as basis

MURDER IN STANISLAUS.
J. B. Lambert Thought to Have Been
Killed by Indians.

MERGED, April 25.-J. E. Redmond
Coroner of Mariposa County, was here
to-day on his way to San Luis Obispo to
the Grand Parlor of Native Sons. He
had just returned from near the Yo-
semitic Valley, whittier he had been
called to hold an inquest on the body of
j. b. Lambert the entomologist, who
was found dead in his cabin last Sunday
by Indians.
The inquest developed the fact that
Lambert died from a gunshot wound in
the head. From the condition Of the
body it is surlnised that he had been
dead about two weeks. The one who
committed the murder closed and
locked the cabin door on the outside
with paddock
1t is hard to assign a motive for the
deed, as Lambert was poor man and
was quiet and inoffensive, having had
no known enemies. His neighbors
charge the murder to Indians

Sand Island Troubles.

WASHINGTON, April 2o.-The War
Department has no information about
the expulsion of State troops from Sand
Island, in the Columbia River. The
Oregon authorities recently asked the
department if any objection would be
made to sending a detachment of the
Oregon militia to the island, which is
the property of the United States Gov
eminent, to expel from it the obnoxious
Washington State fishermen. To this
the department replied that it could re-
place the Oregon authorities and per-
form the expulsion, the island not be-
ing under State control. A detachment
of regular troops was sent with orders
to expel all persons, and it is presumed
at the department that the officer COM
handing removed the militia under
these instructions.

CASE OF JUDGE HUSE.
Writ for His Release From the Asylum
Denied.

SAN BERNARDINO, April 25.-The
celebrated Huse trial came to an end
to-day After an examination which
has been stretched out for more than
a month, in which every detail of the
remarkable case has been gone into
with the utmost minuteness, Judge
Otis this afternoon rendered decision
in which he remanded Judge Huse to
the Highland Asylum.
The case has been stubbornly fought
from the first, and no similar hearing
in any court has ever been more thor
oughly investigated, and in his opin-
ion, which Judge Otis was an hour in
delivering, he reviewed every feature
of the case, disposing of the grounds on
which the petition was founded, and
ended by denying the writ for the re-
lease of Judge Huse
