Advise censure of Rayard.

Chairman Hit, of the foreign affairs
committee, reported to the house the
preamble and resolutions agreed on by
the foreign affairs committee, censur-
ing Ambassador Bayard for portions of
speeches he delivered at Edinburgh and
Boston. Accompanying the preamble
and resolutions is brief report which
sets forth that Mr.. Bayard did make
the speeches containing the features
alleged to be Objectionable and saying
that no action had been taken by the
government thereon, The preamble
contains the extracts of the speeches
which brought forth the resolutions on
the subject in the house, and they are
followed by the following resolutions
Resolved, BY the house of represen-
tatives That Thomas F. Bayard, am.
bassador of the United States to Great
Britain, in publicly using the language
above quoted, has committed an offense
against diplomatic propriety and an
abuse of the privileges Of his exalted
position, which should, make him the
and not Of any political party. Such
utterances are wholly inconsistent with
that prudent, delicate and scrupulous
reserve which he himself while secre-
tary Of state enjoined upon all diplo-
matte agents of the United States. In
one speech he offends a great body of
his countrymen, who believe in the
policy Of protection In the other he
offends all his countrymen who believe

ernment Therefore, as the immediate
representatives OF the American people
and in their name, we condemn and
censure said utterances of the Hon.
T. T. Bayard
Resolved, Further, That, in the
opinion of the house of representatives,
public speeches by our diplomatic or
consular officers abroad which display
partisanship, or which condemn any
political party or party policy or or
ganization of citizens in the United
States, are in dereliction of duty OF
such officers, impair their usefulness as
public servants, and diminish the CON
Efidence which they should always
command at home and abroad.
Mr.. Dinsmore, of Arkansas, has filed
the minority report of the committee
on foreign affairs on the resolution tc
censure Ambassador Bayard. The re
port is very brief It says that thu
minority dissent from the views Of th'
majority and that in their opinion ther'
was nothing in either of the speeches
mentioned that calls for or justifie
censure by congress.

The students of the Kansas Univer.
sity have Il movement ON foot to with
draw from the State Oratorical Asso-
citation. The cause of their wishing
to get ont of this association is be-
cause the representatives of the school
always get such low place in the
state contests, owing to the fact that
they are not trained for public speak
ers all through their course, as are the
representatives. from other schools,
which are all dcnominational schools
1t is very likely that the movement
will succeed, and that Kansas Univer
will no longer take part in the
state contests. !

single remaining cub. He pictured
,Spain as the impotent Giant Of Despair
In the Pilgrims Progress gazing on

an apostrophe to liberty adding with

At the close of the speech Mr.. Gray
who opposed Mr.. Vest said that if
eloquence could achieve the freedom Of

THAT vote of 2I5 against
free silver compared with 90
for it, in the lower house of
congress, should put a damper
npon the hopes of the freesil-
verites. This is the newly as

clearly demonstrates that free
silver coinage at Is to 1 will
not be accomplished this year

will supplement the good effect
produced by the great success
of the popular loan in restoring
confidence abroad in the stabil-

should stop the raids on the
government gold reserve.
