Democratic Senators Consider
the Subject of Patronage.
A .on-Partisan Division Among the
Senators Meets With Favor.
Employes of tho Bonato at Lour Tears
Expcrloucc, irrespective ot Politics,
, to be Listed nml Charged up to
the Senate as a llody.
Washington, March 20. The demo
cratic members of tho senate held a
caucus Thursday afternoon, at tho ad
journment of the senate, for the pur
pose of discussing tho question of pa
tronage. The proposition upon which
Senator Gorman, representing tho
democrats, and Senator Elkins, rep
resenting tho republicans, havo been
working for several weeks, was
submitted o tho caucus and appeared
to meet with favorablo consideration.
This proposition provides for a non
partisan distribution of tho paWonago
equally among the ' 00 senator? who
compose the body. There are about
eighteen employes who, from long
years of experience, havo becomo
invaluable to tho senate and
theso men will bo placed fn a
list and charged up to tho senate as a
body. Thc-other places will then bo
distributed equally. There were ten
democratic senators who ceased to bo
members of the senate f with the last
session, and their successors havo no
one in office through their influence.
Tho same can bo said of tho new repub
lican senators.
Of course a revision of this sort means
that some of tho employes will hnvo to
go, and thoy will probably be'those
whoso senators havo lost thciijjseats,
and who are, therefore, no longer with
senatorial backing. Tho whole sub
ject, after discussion, was loft to tho
steering committee The committee
will confer with similar committee for
tho republicans and after a caucus it is
believed tho whole matter will bo set
tled on tho basis herein indicated. No
other subject was brought up in tho
caucus. ,

ROASTED. '
Ambassador Bayard Censured by
the House of Representatives
For Certain Utterances in Speeches at
Boston, Eng., and Edinburgh.
Tho Resolution Passes the House, After
Two Days' Debate, by a Vote ot 180,
Yeas to 71 Kays The Following Is a
Full Text of tho Resolutions.
Washington, March 20. The houso
Friday again proceeded immediately
after the reading of tho journal to con
sider tho resolutions censuring Mr.
Bayard, ambassador to London, for his
speeches at Boston and Edinburgh.
After debate the resolutions wcro
passed by a voto of 108 to 71.
Tho following is tho text of tho reso
lutions regarding Ambassador Bayard,
reported February 25, from tho com
mlttco on foreign affairs.
Whorcas. Thomas F. Bayard, ambassador of
tho United States to Groat Britain, said In a
publio speech delivered In Boston, England, on
August S, 1805. as follows:
' Ho (tho president ot tho United States)
stands lu tho midst of a strong, soU-confldent,
and ottcn times vlolont peoplo men who seek
to liavn thnlr nwn wnv -nml T toll von nlntnlv
that It takes a real man to govern tho peoplo.
of tho United States.
Whcrqas, Thomas F. Bayard, ambassador of
tho United States to Great Britain said lu a
publio speech delivered In Edinburgh, Scot
land, on November 7. U05, as follows:
"In my own country I havo witnessed tho In
satiable growth ot that form ot state
socialism styled 'protection' which I
boltovo has dono more to foster
class legislation and create inequality
ot fortune, to corrupt publio ltfo, to banish
men of Independent mind and character from
public councils, to loner tho tone of national
representation, blunt publio conscience, crcato
falso standards in the popular mind, divorco
ethics from politics and placo politics upon
tho low level of a mercenary scramblo than
any other single cause.
It. ff.hn cnlfl nnllftv nt nrnfonllnn Vino mlipat.
tatingly allied Itself with eveiy policy which
tends to commercial isolation, dangerously do-
pletcs tho troasury, and saps the popular con'
soionco by schemes of corrupting favor and
largcsso to sroclal classes whose support Is
thoroby attracted. Thus it has dono so much
to throw legislation Into tho political market,
where Jobbers and charterers take tho place ot
statesmen;" therefore, bo It
Hesolved, that it is tho senso ot tho houso
of representatives that Thomas P. Bayard,
ambassador of the United Statos to Great
Britain, in publicly using the languago abovo
Quoted has committed an offense against dip
lomatic propriety and an abuso of the priv
ileges of his oxaltcd position, which should
make him tho representative ot tho wholo
country and not of any political
party. Such utterances nro whol
ly inconsistent with that prudent
deltcato and scrupulous reservo which he,
himself, while secretary of state, enjoined upon
nil diplomatic agents of the Unltod States In
ono speech ho affronts tho great body of his
Countrymen who boliovo in tho policy of pro
tection. In the other speech ho offends all his
countrymen who beliovo that Amoricans are
capablo of self government. Therefore, as tho
immediate ropreseetativo of tho American
peoplo, and in their name, wo condemn and
consuro the said utterances of Thomas F.
Bayard.
Hesolved further, that in tho opinion of tho
houso of representatives publio speeohes by
our diplomatic Or consular officers abroad,
which display partisanship, or which condemn
any political party, or part? policy, or organ
ization of citizens in tho United States, are In
dlrcllctlon of tho duty of such officers, Impair
their usefulness as publio servants, anddimln
Isn the confidence whloh they should and may
command at homo and abroad.
The vote was mainly along political
lines, tho republicans voting yea and
tho democrats nay. The populists sup
ported tho resolution.

against tho resolution: Baker (Md.),
Cook (111.), Draper (Mass.), Pitney (N.
J.),and Willis (Del.) 5. And tho fol
lowing democrats voted for it: liailcy
(Tex.), Cockrell (Tex.), Cummings (N.

no tlmo lost in getting at tho confer
ence report on tho Cuban resolutions
Friday morning. Tho reading' of
Thursday's journal was dispensed with,
und thero was little or no morning bus
iness to bo disposed of.
Mr. Sherman (rep., O.) promptly
moved that tho conference report bo
taken up; but as soon as that motion
was agreed to and tho report laid bo
foro tho senate, Mr. Allon (pop., Neb.)
requested that ho might address tho
senate for half an hour on the" Dnpont
election case. Mr. Allen wound up his
speech by declaring emphatically that
ho would voto against Mr. Dnpont be
ing recognized as senator.
A motion to adjourn over until Mon
day was made by Mr. Gorman (dcm.,
Md.) and was in the absence of Mr.
Sherman objected to by Mr. Lodgo
(rep., Mass.) who desired to havo action
on the Cuban resolutions.
A call of tho senate was had in order
to give time for Mr. Sherman to return
to the chamber, and 00 senators re
sponded -
In tho meantime Mr. Sherman re
turned and he expressed tho hope that
the motion to adjourn over would not
be agreed to unless there was first an
agreement reported as to a time for
taking a voto on the Cuban resolutions,
I To that proposition a strong objec
tion was made by Mr. Halo (Hep., Me.)
on the ground that two-thirds of tho
time occupied in tho Cuban discussion
had been occupied by tho members of
the committee on foreign relations or
those who sympathized with their re
port, and that theio were many sena
tors who desired to be heard on tho
other side of tho question.
Tho vote was taken on Mr. Gormon's
motion and it was agreed to. Yeas, 42;
