House VIII Mildly Censure Mr.. Too
Much-Talk Bayard.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Little doubt is
left by the action of a special committee
of the foreign affairs committee, which met
to-day. that a resolution will be brought
before the House next week. expressing dis
approval Of ambassador. Bayard's two
speeches, which were called to the atten-
ton of the House by Messrs. Mccall and
Barrett, of Massachusetts,. The purpose of
the resolution will be mild censure of EN-
bassador Bayard for the two utterances
mentioned, and an expression of the opinion
of the House that representatives of the
United States abroad should be very discreet
in their public references to home politics. 1t
is understood the members Of the subcom-
mttee feel that the present tension be-
tween the British and American govern
ments over Venezuela constrains them TO
recommend milder form of censure than
they think the ambassadors remarks would
call for under ordinary circumstances. One
of them said that, while they do not wish
to take any action that would detract from
Mr. Bayard's standing with the power to
which he is accredited, they do not feel
justified in ignoring his speeches.

require forty thousand dollars, and
after the right Of way was secured and
a franchise granted by the county COM

day by John ROser & CO..
After April 1, 1896, the firm Of John
