Dayard Won't Resign.

London, March 21.-Hon. Thomas r.
Bayard, United States ambassador, had
not received official notification of the
vote OF censure passed upon him by the
United States house of representatives
when seen by reporter Saturday
morning. 1t is understood that Mr..
Bayard will take no notice of the mat
ter, but will wait and see what action,
if any, the president takes on it.
Views of London Journals.
London, March 21.-The Standard,
commenting on the action of the house
of representatives in adopting the res
olutions censuring Ambassador Bay
ard, says that while there is some reason
for the complaint against Mr.. Bayard,
it thinks his opponents ridiculous to
eSaggerate the grievance. They have
taken an ungenerous advantage. The
Standard says it is of the opinion that
a strong motive to induce Mr.. Bayard
to ignore the vote of censure and to
remain at his post is found in the fact
that the friendly tone which succeed
ed the initial bitterness of the Venezue-
Ian question was largely due to his per-
sonal eSertions. Englishmen, the paper
says. would genuinely regret his depar-
ture.
The Globe admits that Mr.. Bayard
did not keep degree of restraint upon
his tongue betitting an ambassador,
but it says the sharp and sweeping cen
sure of the house of representatives
was clearly the outcome of party spite
and need not disturb Mr.. Bayards men,

Washington, March 81 = Secretary

decline to converse as to the probable
outcome of the passage of the resolu-
tions censuring Ambassador Eayard,
except to say that Mr.. Bayard will not
be officially informed by the depart
ment that the resolutions We're adopt

tender of his resignation, conditioned
on the adoption of the resolutions Of

tended taking the action Indicated, but
that he never fully carried out the idea
by placing his resignation in the hands
of the president. Ii the resolutions
had not been adopted by a vote SO close
~ allied to party lines, it is likely that
Mr.. Bayard would have considered seri-
ously the eSpediency of rendering his
resignation, but the fact that five re-
publicans were opposed to the censure,
while only six democratic votes were
cast in its favor, is considered among
friends of Mr.. Bayasd here to be an adj
ditional reason why both he and the
president should ignore the entire Incl

Columbus. Ohio, February 3-Ex-
Senator George Iden appeared in court

His bond for 500, for appearance for
trial, was signed by ex-Lieutenant
Governor w. G. Lyon. Frank G. War
den. of Newark, and Probate Judge l..
D. Hagerty, of this city.
This afternoon ex-senator J. O. A..
Abbott. of McConnellsville, arrived and
in Criminal Court entered a plea of not
guilty. To the courts question, he said
he was too poor to hire an attorney,
and Emmett ThOmpkins was appointed
by the court to defend him. To the
deputy clerk of the court he said Incl
dentally that he once occupied a cler-
ical position in a court, and it would
have been better for him had he re-
mained in that humble employment

THE FAIR WILL.
The Trust Clause Declared Invalid and
the Estate is Now to be Divided
Among the Heirs.

San Francisco, February 3.-Judge
Stack to-day decided that the trust
clause in the will of James G. Fair
was invalid. The decision was render
ed in the suit brought by Charles L.
Fair to quit title TO the Lick House
property This action was brought to
test the validity Of the iron-clad OBJ
noxious trust clause, and it was most
strenuously opposed by w. S. Good
fellow, one of the trustees. The other
executors joined with the children in
the attack on the clause, although they
ente 6d q formal defense to the acton.
The children of Mr.. Fair have thus
succeeded in having decided by the
court that the will of their father, in
sofar as it deprives them of the residue
OF his real property is absolutely void
Over $l0,000,000 Of the Fair estate is
in government bonds and there is a
great deal of other personal property,
so the trustees will earn fat fees, de-
spite Judge Stacks decision.
Charles Haggerty, the attorney for
Charles Fair, was enthusiastic over
the victory
I'VE shall now proceed" he said,
"to probate the will without the trust
clause, and if it is admitted to probate.
the estate Will be distributed directly
to the children"

OFFICERS AT SEA.
No Clue to the Identity of the Woman
Butchered Near Fort ThOmas----Big
Rewards offered for the Arrest of
the Murderer.

Cincinnati, Ohio, February st is
believed that the body of the woman
killed near Fort Thomas. KY, oppo-
site the eastern suburbs of this city.
last Friday night, has been identified.
Owing to the head being cut off all ef-
forts to identify the body have hereto
fore failed. The reservoir has been
drained, the river dredged, and every
nook and corner for miles examined.
but still the head has not been found.
Mrs. Emery Markland, of Storr street,
this city, has been missing for a week.
She first put her four children in the
Children's Home and left her husband.
To-day her husband and her mother,
Mrs. VIM. Hart, examined the body,
and they think it is that Of Mrs Mark
land Mrs. Hart did not live with her
daughter and does not recognize the
clothing. There are no distinguishing
marks on the body, but they Will likely
claim it as the remains of Mrs Mark
land. They cannot give any reasons
for her being at that place late at
night or for leaving her home.
After Mrs. Hart and others had been
claiming the body at the Newport,
Ky, mOrgle as that Of Mrs. Ella Mark
land the latter turned up tonight
alive It is still believed, however,
that a soldier at Fort Thomas murder
ed some Cincinnati woman on account
of jealousy and cut off her head to
prevent Identification and arrest.
The officers are at sea more tonight
than ever. They have followed the
clues about of dozens Of wo=en who
have been absent from their homes for
days. and found them elsewhere in
stead Of the victim OF Jack-the-Ripper,
and they now want more evidence than
the absence OF some woman for another

tees have p reward Of $500 and Gov

The Senate free coinage substitute for
the House bond bill was referred to
the Ways and Means Committee as soon
as it reached the House to-day. The
fate of the substitute is so well assured
that the House programme excites al
most no interest, except for the fact
that It will furnish the first direct test
of the free silver strength in this
House.
Various estimates made by the free
silver men place the silver vote at
from 100 to 125. the latter figure being
the limit prophesied by the most san
guine silver Democrats.
