of America more than the people of Eng
land. We love the nation which ID becom-
ing SO powerful before all mankind, and
we shall always treasure Mr. Bayard
among our recollections Of America and
Americans"
Lord Chief Justice Russell eulogized Am
bassador Bayard in the highest terms He
first spoke of Mr.. Bayard as an old friend
He then referred to the American ambas-
sador as lone who truly came as a mes
senger of peace" one who, while he has in
no way lessened the rights and position Of
great republic, has found 1t consistent
with the Ioftiest patriotism to bring two
great nations close together"
said:
There is not today, and cannot see
how there ever will be. just cause for quar-
rel between the United States and Great
Britain. Both nations being governed by
the same principles, they ought not to al
low any interests to divide them in their
worl, for humanity.
MY Bayard will take back with him the
afet tion of many old and new friends, and
the respect of those who are unacQuainted
with him, because of his straightforward
ness, for this has earned for him the graf
iiude of that portion of his countrymen
whose opinion is worth valuing."
Prof. James Bryce, former president Of
the board of trade, also paid q high eulogy
to Ambassador Bayard, and concluded
with a strong argument in favor of the
principles of arbitration.
