No Better Than Bayard.

We shall look now for repetition Of
those outbursts of wrath from a GER
tain class of Republican papers with
which they regaleds their readers and
fired their souls with Indignation while
Mr.. Bayard was our ambassa dor to Great
Britain, and was cultivating friendly
relations between the two great kin
dred powers. Then England. with her
free trade and "pauper labor" was the
campaign bugaboo, our ancient enemy
against whom we must be ever on the
alert. She was on the watch for a.
loophole through which she could in
wade our industries and crush them. It
was her Golden club that gathered
millions to be used in breaking down
the barriers Republican sagacity and
energy had raised to protect the Ameri-
can Workingman against that flood Of
foreign, pauper-made goods. And Bay
ard, the Tory. the turveydrop, the lick
Spite, was bowling and fawning and
crlnging and hobnobbing and prating
about knship and mutuality Of inter-
ests and friendship.
We all recall the fierce denunciations
heaped upon the ambassadors un-
armored head. Conditions are un-
changed. England is the same TODAY
as then, but Bayard is gone and Hay
wears the ambassadorial robe. It is
he who is now the guest at the BANQUET
table and who responds to toasts to
the president of the United States.
That most truculent of all the animals
that barked at Bayard's heels, the New
York Tribune, tells US how Hay sat at
the banquet in the Mansion house with
his royal highness, the Duke of Cam
bridge. With astonishing equanimity,
without a shiver, it quotes Hays "un-
American" statement, in the speech
with which he responded to the toast,
that peace is growing more solid be-
tween the two nations and that he
hoped and trusted that the friendship
might last forever. He even went so
ar as to say that there is "a sanction,
IKE that of religion. which binds Us

WASHINGTONsf May 3.-Adjt. Gen.
ident this afternoon concerning the
nominations of major generals and
brigadier generals, which, according to
present Intentions, will be sent to the
senate tomorrow. Gen. Corbin took with
him to the White house a full list Of
these nominations which had been
agreed upon by the war department Of
f1cials. After a twenty minute confer
ence with the president Gen. Corbin
returned to the department to make
some alterations In the list, suggested
by the president.
1t Is understood to have been decided
to name Gen. Shafter, who has been
designated to lead the army Of inva-
sion into Cuba, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and
Gen. Joe Wheeler, or Confederate
cavalry fame, as three Of the major
generals. 1t is regarded as probable
that the president may also nominate
Gen. Woodford, former minister to
Spain, to be a major general
Concerning the appointments of brig
adler generals 1t is said to be the pur-
pose Of the president so far as possible
to take the candidates from the ranks
Of colonies in the regular army. This
will disappoint some Of the candidates
for important commands. The excep-
tions, if any are made, will be in favor
of those states which furnish one or
more brigades of troops In such cases,
1t is believed, the president will ap-
point as brigadier generals the officers
recommended to him by the governors
of the states from which the troops
come.
Washington will soon be gay with
uniforms, as result of an order today
requiring all officers to wear the uni
forms Of their proper grades.

day for the benefit Of the troops going

The movements of the opposing forces in
the Frarco-German war have been looked
upon as marvels of celerity. and as Illus
trating the superiority Of European prepara-
tions: Yet between the declaration Of war
by France on June 10. 1870, and the firing
of the first guns in actual combat at Saar-,
bruck, Aug. 2, was a period of forty-three
days. during which the mightest energies
Of both those military armies were ex-
erted In mobilizing their armies. So far,
comparisons are certainly not to the disad-
vantage Of our republic.-Pioneer Press. 2.
Just in the interests of historical
accuracy we beg to correct this state
ment. France declared war July 10,
and Mcmahon met the defeat in the
first battle at Worth, Aug. 4 and 6,
making an interval of sixteen days be-
tween the declaration and the first
clash of arms. This impairs the COM
placency Of the comparison by which
our contemporary makes our mobiliza-
tion excel that Of Germany in celebrity

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The senate
committee on finance resumed its sit
ts t,ns To-Day. hearing Secretary Gage on
the necessity for including in the war
of bonds
secretary Gage told the committee
tnat the best estimates obtainabIe in
uicate that for the next two months the
vol wiz increase the governmental ex-
penoiture about s5O.0OO,OOO. By that
tiIne the entire amount in the trea
wluh the exception of the gold reserve
woulo De exhausted. and $50. 900 900 of
tne reserve also taken. Mr.. Gage also
stated 1t to be his opinion that the
revenue would decrease on account Of
the war. In view of these facts he
considered some authorization for the
issue or bonds necessary.
Mr.. Gage told the committee that ba
mad not been furnished any very ac-
curate estimates of the cost of the war
Dy the navy and war departments. and
the committee then decided to sllmnnon
the heads OF those two departments for
the purpose of getting their ideas.
The Democratic members of the COM
mlttee are insisting upon very careful
consideration OF each paragraph Of the
Dill, saying that full explanation Of
each provision in committee will save
time In the senate.
Many Changes.
Many minor changes are suggested.
many of them dealing with phraseology
and others affecting rates. There is
ar effort to secure a perfect agreement
on the part of all the members of the
committee to the tax features of the
bill before reporting 1t to the senate,
and the indications now are that they
ha L., l. L.,
The Republicans say they do not in
tend to agree to reduction of the
amount of bonds to be provided for.
secretary Alger told the finance COM
mittee that he thought $50 0O0, 900
would be sufficient to meet the extra
ordinary expenses Of the war depart
ment for the next year, occasioned by
the Spanish war.
Secretary Long said he had not the
data upon which to furnish the COM
mittee with estimates for his depart
ment, but that he would send a COM
munication covering the points.
When the finance committee adjourn
ed tonight there was no certainty when
the work on the war revenue bill would
be concluded. The Democrats had not
offered any of their propositions and
the bond question had not been taken
up with view to disposing of it. The
Democratic members of the committee
do not appear to have yet agreed upon
substitute for the bond provision, but
the present indications are that it Will
be a tax on corporations.
There was a suggestion today ia
vorable to removing the entire tax on
beer, but the suggestion was not fol-
lowed up sufficiently to indicate its
probable fate. The only two points of
Importance which are regarded as set
tied are that the tonnage tax will go
out and that the tobacco tax PROPOSE
ton will be so modified as to exempt
stock on hand.
| Secretary Gage stated while giving
his testimony today that he had made
no arrangements with New York banks
looking to the sale of the proposed
bonds or to securing their assistance
| in making a popular loan.

MADRID TEMPER UGLY.
Military Dictatorship Expected by
the English Press.

LONDON. May 4.-Interest for the moment
has shifted to Madrid, which appears to be on
the eve of a military pronunciamento. Gen
Weyler is the popular idol. He has, however
no actual command at present and therefore
cannot pronounce in his own person.
1t is probable that the censorship hides the
real gravity of the situation. 1t is extremely
likely that martial law has been proclaimed
in other big cities. Energetic measures on the
part of the government, especially If a scape-
goat can be found. may start off popular
outburst. but the scenes in the cortes indl-
cate very ugly temper on the part Of the
poDulace.
special dispatch from Madrid says the
chamber assembled yesterday amid wild ex-
citement, unparalleled in twenty years. The
full strength of the police was called out
and the troops kept in barracks under arms.
