MIR. BAYARD'S ADVICE.

Ambassador Bayard was the principal
guest at the annual dinner of the Sheffield
Press Club Saturday evening.
Responding to Il toast to his health, Mr.
Bayard said that this was the age of the
press. If one profession more than
another necessitated quick, honest judy
menet, it was the press. Public service
and public duty ought to animate it if this
was true.
He came to England determined that
ignorance, passion and mercenary
interests should not come between the
people of America and Great Britain. He
was now going back, perilously near the
close of his career, with the same spirit
which animated him when he came, hay
ing said nothing he wished undone: This
statement was greeted with cheers.
Continuing, Mr.. Bayard said that his
only cause for regret was that ne had been
unable to do much which he desired.
There was no mysterious diplomacy in
this. Only let England and America,
whose ideas of public and private virtues
were the same look, each other frankly
in the face and ask what each meant and
nobody's duty would be spoiled, but each
would deal more wisely.

According to Aersstead, Mr.. Taylor at
this time expressed desste y besome a
director of the company. Taylor denies
this, aud says that he was made director
without his knowledge or consent.
At any rate Taylor come to New Mex
loo, and acted as managing director of
the mines Armstead says that he wrote
to Taylor on October II, 1898, Offering
to purchase his stock at As cents. This
offer Taylor declined, saying that he in
tended to hold on for 81.
Ia February 1894 Taylor invested $5,-
600 more in the proposition. Soon after
this the controversy commenced which
eliminated in the suit in this city, In
which Mayor Spiess appeared for Taylor
who claimed that he had been swindled.
Armstead has now secured the services
of General BENJAMIN +. Tracy, and in
structed him to draw up complaints in
suits to recover 100000 damages for
malicious prosecution, from Taylor.
Armstead has already suit pending
against Taylor in the Kings county, New
York courts, from whom he seeks to re-
cover valuable property. Mr.. Spiess
who is in position to know the true in
wardness of this case, is of the opinion
that Armstead is all right, and that be
made no false representations to Taylor,
when he invested in the Golden piacers.
Taylor although rich man, has neglect
ed to pay his attorneys fees contracted
during the contention and suit of 1894,
brought in this city.
