Garrard had been on the floor of both
the house and senate during the morn
ing. and when the story got out he was
besieged by inquiries from members. He
made this statement to the Associated
Press: Il was not introduced to any
one by Senator Landrigan this morning,
nor do know this man Hamilton, nor
have had any conversation with Mr..
Flanagan or any person whom I sup
posed was Mr.. Flanagan. 1 met Sen
ator Landrigan two or three times in
the senate this morning, and talked
with him about the appropriation for
the state fair. He il q member of the
board OF agriculture. I do not recall
having seen him again until I heard
the story that was being told by this
man Hamilton. I met him in the
rotunda. where he was talking to a
dozen or more. I have known Senator
Landrigan since 1868, and he could
hardly have mistaken some one else
for me-

that l should have mistaken some one

senate chamber with Senator Hunt. AZ

HATS TRIBUTE TO BAYARD.

Says He Was Not 30 Much Ambassador t.
England - to the English.
Baron Russell, in proposing the health
of Ambassador Hay. said: ''The United
States have sent us their best men to
represent them; and we have no doubt
that the chain will be continued I'M
broken. To Ambassador Hay we will
give the heartiest OF welcomes, for we
believe that he IL the harbinger Of peace
and good will to ALL" This toast was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm. Colonel
Hay responding said: when your chair
man kindly invited me to be present to-
night, and when Mr.. Bayard added the
sanction of his own friendly request, I
could not but avail myself Of the oppor-
tunity to pass SO delightful an evening
In your company. 1 stipulated, however,
that was to come not in an ofilcial ca
pacity, but simply as an American tenn
porarily resident in England and de-
sirous to add my tribute Of regard to
your distinguished guest.
Il always have been. and fancy I am
now, cordially opposed to Mr.. Bayard
on almost every matter Of public con-
Germ upon which men Of good will may
difer; but I have always been happy
end proud of his friendship. I have
shared the pleasure all his friends have
taken in observing the unexampled at
lection and popularity which he has con-
quered in England. They are successes
SO complete that they can provoke neith-
er envy nor emulation. Certainly no i'm
mediate successor to Mr.. Bayard would
be so injudicious as to attempt to rival
his brilliant career or to replace him in
the regard Of the British people.
Nothing but disaster could follow
such an attempt. None but Ulysses
could bend the bow OF Ulysses. Mr..
Bayard will always be remembered as
our first Ambassador. and all the more
because he has gained the affectionate
esteem not only OF the government and
the governing classes but also of the
masses of the people Of these islands.
Since the great revolution in France.
which brought the people forward a.
the principal factor Of sovereignty there.
1t has been the fashion OF the kings and
emperors to call themselves emperors
ard kings. not Of France. but Of the
French. In like manner II would be
rot inappropriate to call Mr.. Bayard
not 30 much ambassador to England n
ambassador to the English. Join you
in wishing him and his family god
speed

Huntsville. Ala, May 8.-There Is .
profound mystery at JEFF, q small town
near here. Two months ago Joshua o.
Kelly. q prominent farmer and nursery
man, several members of his family,
and a number Of tenants'were poisoned.
This was thought to have been the re-
suit of Mrs. Kelly carelessly placing
poison In q cupboard. Kelly died in
intense agony. A party Of eleven sitting
up with his body were poisoned the
night after Kelly died. Now 1t begins
to appear that there ia a plot to poison
the family. After breakfast every one
who had eaten became violently i'll.
Eight negroes and six whites were seri-
ously affected, and two may die. Among
the i'll is a drummer from Cleveland,
Tenn, who spent the night at Kellys.

DILEMMA ABOUT TIE TREATY.
No Way Of OMcially Notifying Great BIZ
tain Of Its Rejection.

No Way Of OMcially Notifying Great Brl-
tain Of Its Rejection.
Washington. May 8.-The failure Of
the senate to make public its action on
the arbitration treaty has created an un-
usual condition Of affairs. There IL no
official information that the senate has
taken any action, or that the treaty has
been rejected, or that the defeated
treaty was different from the one origin
ally submitted. All that is known off,
cially is that treaty was concluded by
Secretary Oiney and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote and sent to the senate It then went
into executive session, SO that no official
information has been given as to the
amendments made and the final action
taken.
The secrecy Of the executive session
does not permit the state department or
the British government to be notified as
to what has occurred. 1t is felt to be
due to the other contracting party to the
treaty that some notice should be given
as to what has been done. and as to the
form of the treaty when it was rejected
In case the senate never should make its
action known the last official record on
the treaty would be it's submission to
the senate four months ago.

against the estate. Galnar, although he deprived
himself of tho necossarios OF life, left an estate
estimated to DO worth $4,000. OF this between
$4,000 and 2 5000 was represented by cash In
banks discovered after his death by Lawyer
Purdy, an old acquaintance. and the rest was
IN real estate In Chicago. Ito also owned a house
In West Eighteenth stroet.
