San DIEGO, March The fourth
scene in the recent tug Of war teurna'

before the departure Of thu north
bound train, when two of the men who
pulled in the Los Angeles team last
night inflicted se-ete punishment on
ancherman Hutchinson. The cause of
the assault followed the accusation
that Hutchinson and Lehman had sold
out to the home team, and it 10 claimed
that Hutchinson admitted having been
paid t100, and added, "Now what do
you propose to do about it, Two of
the team were quick to respond, and
further punishment Was aterted by the
presence OF the chief OF police. Since
the departure of the train which car
ried the visiting team home there have
been many ugly stories told of the du-
plicity of the two principals OF the

opinion is that Hutchinson got no

The vote Of the senate last Saturday
on the silver substitute for the bond
bill revealed an interesting situation re-
garding the position OF the parties on
the question OF free coinage. That the
Democratic, party is the party of free
silver, and that IL the free coinage peo-
pie expect to gain their object through
either OF the old parties they must look

This fact was as boldly apparent in the
vote in the senate as It was In the last

when majority OF the Democratic
members voted for a free silver meas

The vote Saturday shows total Of

Anent the house resolution OF censure
OF Ambassador Bayard for the indis-

cused of partisan bias in the matter,
says that 1t is believed the house will
agree with its foreign affairs commit
tee that American ambassadors are
sent abroad to attend to their official
duties and not torun around the country
making political harangues derogatory
10 the people whom they represent"
This is the comment of newspaper
in high standing in Mr.. Bayard's party
and which. had his political views been
expressed In his own country and on
the political stump. would have found
no fault in them. But the Herald takes
a broader and more American view of
the ambassadors conduct than the par
tisan Democrats in Congress, who will
fight the resolution of censure.
The Herald, along with a majority of
the American people. and with right
thinking people everywhere, sees in
what the ambassador said to his Eng
nsh audiences in criticism OF an Ameri-
can governmental policy, an indisere-
ton which Congress and the President
should not overlook or excuse in
diplomatic representative to a foreign
power.
The Democratic party In Congress
win make the debate an occasion for
some warm speeches in defense of the
peculiar conduct of distinguished
Democrat. They will refuse to reeog-
nIze the fact that Mfr. Bayard Is not in
England as Democratic politician.
and that when he made the speeches in
question he was not the guest OF
British institutions us a private citi-
zen. but as the ambassador Of the
United states government, whose fiscal
system he chose TO speak Of as "a spe-
Giles of state socialism" and whose
citizens he characterized as a some
times violent people"
They will defend him simply and
solely becaule he is an appointee of
Democratic President Thus they will
show tho breadth Of their statesman
ship. The people of the country will
appreciate their position and the pas
sage Of the resolution will be APP
plauded.
1t will be applauded, because. as the
Herald says, at will be warning les
SON to ali loquacious diplomatic repre-
sentatives OF the United States abroad"
1t follows that such a vote OF censure
should, for the credit of the country be
followed by Mr.. Bayard's resignation,
or his recall by President Cleveland,
but 1t may not be followed by either Of
these things.

virtue OF this trait, In conjunction with
his good judgment. achieved very de-

prominent first in the Standard OIL
Company, In connection with the Rock
efellers, and afterwards in the reor-

and ruling spirit.
He was one OF four sons of the late
Judge George W. Thompson, and the
last survivor OF them, his brother
George, who was his predecessorIn the

month one year ago. His other brothers,
steenrod and Lewis, died some years

of the late Daniel steenrod. and the
mother OF the four. sons alluded to. and
also Of Mrs. ]. N. Camden, and of a
widowed daughter. Mrs. Bushheld.
Colonel Thompson was fifty-nine
years OF age. and. as respects activity
and ability. only in the prime of life.
He occupied a commanding position in
business in New York, and few men
who have died there of late will be more
generally missed in financial circles.
