IL left by the action OF the special PUB
committee OF the committee on foreign
affairs, which met today that rcsoln-
ton will be brought before the house roxt
week expressing disapproval Of Ambnsiia-
dor Bayard's two speeches, which were
called to the attention Of the house by
Messrs Mccall and Barrett of MaSsschu-

The purpose OF the resolution Will be a
mild cersure OF Ambassador Bayard for
the two utterances mentioned and an eN-
preston OF the opinion of the house that
representatives OF the United States
abroad should be very discreet in their
public references TO home politics. II Is
Understood that the home committee feels
that the present tension between British
and American governments over Nene-
zuela constrains them to recommend a
milder form Of censure than they think
, the ambassadors remarks would call Tor
under ordinary circumstances. one OF
them said that. while they did not WISH

from Mr. Bayards standing with inc
