Before leaving the British embassy lunt evening, Said Pasha requested the sultan to grant hint permission to leave the country with his family.

What action the sultan took Is not known, but the fact that SalJ Pasha returned to his residence Is taken as proof thnt his majesty must have given the strongest assurance that no luiriu would befall him here. It Is rumored that several superior military otth ers. including Ismel Pasha, one of the sultan's household, and Hassan Djetnl Pasha, nn aide-de-camp of his majesty, hnvo tbd tin city, it having reached their cars that they were suspected of being connected with the Young Turkey party, which is agitating in favor of a constitutional ho- ernment.

The Violet Was In Dangerous Position. Norfolk, Dec. 10. President Cleveland and his party had a rough time of ft to-day. and were unable to occupy the blinds provided for them at Cape Channel, near Hatteras.

The Violet is to-night in a dangerous posi tion, although no fears are entertained Alt oUf lohO- a oi on si it. Mr. Cummlngs (dem. X. said he could not say whether the resolution had been offered under false pretenses or not.

but he congratulated himself on knowing that was based only on the newspaper report of a speech; that it was brought before the House by the editor of a newspaper; was backed before the House. by the editor of a newspaper printed in Boston, and that it was backed up a second time by the editor of the "Lewiston Journal." It, therefore, seemed fitting that a newspaper writer on the democratic side of the House, ought to1 have something to. say on the subject. He had no particular love for the United States ambassador to England. He had not forgotten that Mr.

Bayard had not done what he should have done toward the release of Irish prisoners, citizens of the United States, who were unjustly incarcerated in English prisons. He had not forgotten that Mr. Bayard was a welcome guest in the houses of the English aristocracy and was but rarely invited to a liberal banquet, but, at the same time, he should be treated with Justice by even the" republican members of the House. Mr. Baynsd had only been reiterating what the President of the United States repeatedly declared In his messages an letters to Congress.

If the United States ambassador at London ought, to bo impeached for expressing such sentiments then the President of the United States ought to bo impeached. If the resolution was not offered under false pretenses, why did not the gentleman from Massachusetts bring in a resolution impeaching the'President? Mr. McCreary Ky.) declared the resolution a miserable excuse for a debate on a subject which representatives seemed to be afraid to bring up in the regular style. Mr. Bayard had spoken nothing but the simple truth, and there was nothing in what he said that would Justify impeachment.

Mr. Hitt 111.) said that diplo matic officers abroad were especially cautioned to use the greatest reserve in all their public utterances. Mr. Money Miss.) said the House waa not acting fairly toward a man who had in the highest degree represented abroad the character, intelligence and patriotism of the American people. Mr.

Cannon 111.) thought that the resolution should be referred to the committee, on foreign -affairs. He doubted that Mr. Bayard ought to be impeached as a matter of policy. Mr. Turner Ua.) did not peneve that Mr.

Bayard's language constituted even an impropriety. Mr. Grow Pa.) recalled tne in cident when, during the civil war, an English gentleman, talking with Charles Francis Adams, the American minister to made a remark, as to the Confederates fighting well, to which. Mr. Adams made the felicitous reply, "They are my countrymen." (Applause.) Mr.

Hitt suggested the omission irom the resolution of the word Mr. Barrett consented to make that modification in the resolution; but ob jection was made by Mr. Crisp. Barrett closed the debate in a speech in which he declared it to be his purpose to secure, if possible, "the recall of a man who had put himself on record in a way to humiliate and dis grace the proudest people in the world." On motion of Mr. cannon iii.j.

the words "by impeachment or other wise" were, struck out of the resolution. A motion by Mr. Crisp to refeiuthe resolution to the committee on the judiciary was rejected, ayes 80, noes 206. Mr. Crisp asked a vote by the yeas and nays, and it was taken, re sulting, yeas 90, nays 207.

The question recurred to the follow- ng amendment to the resolution, pro posed by Mr. Barrett and it was adopted: "And whereas, in a public speech delivered at Boston. England, on the second day of August; 1895, the said Bayard is reported by the press of this country to have said: 'The President stands in the midst of a strong, self-confident and oftentimes violent people, men who desire to have their own way. and who need to have that way frequently obstructed, and I tell you plainly It takes a real man to govern the people ot the nltea Mr. Cannon's, amendment to strike out the words "by impeachment or otherwise" was agreed to, and the res olution as thus amended, was adopted without a division.

A number of dem ocrats were observed to vote aye and but few noes were heard. The speaker said that by consent the preamble to the resolution would be considered withdrawn. Speaker Reed announced the appointment of the following committee on ac counts: Mr. Aldrich of Illinois, chairman, Messrs. Odell of New York, McCall of Tennessee, Tracy of Missouri and Long of Kansas, republicans, and Messrs.

Rusk of Maryland and Price of Louisiana, democrats. At 3:35 o'clock the House, on motion of Mr. Dingley, adjourned until Thursday. Appointments by the President. Washington, Dec.

Newspaper Reports of Recent Speeches the Causa lop the Attack Foreljjn AfT.il rs Committee to Ascer tain Their Truth nud Report What Action is 1' roper to ho Token. Washington, Dec. 10.

Mr. McCall (rep. Mass.) offered in the House to day a resolution from two of Mr. Bay ard's speeches in England, one of which condemned the protection policy, while the other spoke of the people of the United States as oftentimes violent and stated that It. took a real man to govern them.

The resolution declares that it is not one of the functions of an ambassador to insult in the country to which lie is accredited the people lie is supposed -to represent, and it is consistent neither with character of the olliee nor with the dlg-nity and in-di pendence of the people of the United Mates that their ambassadors abroad should make violent partisan speeches ob questions relating to our domestic policy upon foreign soil. It requests the President to inform the House, if not incompatible with the public Interests, what steps if any he has taken to ascertain whether Mr. Bayard made said speeches and if he lias ascertained that he did make said speeches, what steps, if any, he has taken to recall or to censure Mr. Bay ard. Mr.

Crisp objected to its consideration and the resolution was referred to the committee on foreign affairs. Mr. Barrett (rep. Mass.) offered as a matter of privilege the following preamble and resolution: I do impeach Thomas F. Bayard, United States ambassador to Great Britain, of high crimes and misdemeanors on, the fol lowing ground: Whereas, The, following report or a speech delivered before the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution by the Hon.

-Thomas F. Bayard, ambassador of the rntted States of America at the court of "Great Britain is published In the "London apws under date of November ix (Here follows an extract from Mr. Bay-ard's speech severely condemning the policy of protection). And whereas, such reflections on the government policy and people of the United States in a foreign country and before a foreign audience is manifestly in serious disregard of the proprieties and obligations which should be ob served by an official representative of the United States abroad and calculated to injure our national reputation. Be.

it resolved by the House of Representatives that the committee on foreign affairs be directed to ascertain whether such statements have been publcly made, and if so to report to the House such action, by impeachment or otherwise as shall be proper in the premises. For the purpose of this inquiry the committee, is authorized to send for persons and papers." Mr. Crisp 6a.) made a point of order against the resolution that it did not present a question of privilege, and quoted a decision rendered in the Forty-eighth Congress to sustain his contention. Mr. Barrett, in discussing the point of 'order, pointed out that subsequently in the same Congress the same speaker had reversed that decision and had hfd that all propositions for the impeachment of public officers were privileged.

Speaker Reed overruled yolnt of order made by Mr. Crisp and Mr. Barrett explained his resolution and severely arraigned Mr. Bayard for his criticism of the system of" protection. Mr.

Crisp Ga.) defended Minister Bayard and reviewed the history of the McKinley and Wilson tariff bills, upholding the latter and condemning the former. He did not think that the gentleman from Massachusetts was serious In his proposition and from the wording of the resolution he credited the gentleman from Massachusetts with being a good protectionist. Mr. McCall (rep. Mass) thought this country was the place for Mr.

Bayard to ventilate his views on such subjects. Mr. Dingley (rep. Me.) said Mr. Bayard had so far forgotten that he represented the entire people of the country as to denounce, upor a public plat-fcrm in England, one-half the people by asserting that the system of protection they had at one time adopted was everything that was bad.

Mr. Dingley asked Mr. Crisp if he would approve the language of Mr. Bayard if he, to-morrow, should attack in public the advocates of free silver and denounce them In unmeas-- nred terms as being destructive of the business interests of the country. Mr.

Dingley also asked that gentleman whether he believed that an ambassador of all the people of the United States; had the right to go on a foreign platform and denounce one-half or re of the people of the United States. Mr. Crisp am not an diplomatist and do not know anything about in-: terns tinnal law; hut it seems to me that any citizen of the United States, no matter what capacity, has the right to give his honest conviction on any economic (Applause on the derr-ccratie side.) Mr. Dingley In my personal judgment of this matter it is a case in which perhaps impeachment may not be the proper remedy, but this House, representing the American people, should condemn such action on the part of its ambassador to England. (Republican applause.) Mr.

Dingley's judgment was that such language used in a foreign country by an ambassador of the United States was an impeachable offense. (Repub- lican applause). If United States ambassadors violated the proprieties of their position in this way an example should be made by impeaching one of them. He regretted that a question of this kind should take a- partisan turn. It was no)t a question between the advocates of protection and the advocates of free trade, but simply as to the propriety of the conduct of a United States ambassador to a foreign country.

He could not believe that there was a single gentleman on the other side of the chamber certainly not the gentleman from Georgia who would approve of thf people of a United States ambassador going on the platform in a foreign country and denouncing a policy sustained by at least one-half the people of this country. He thought an expression should be made by the House condemning such a course by a United States ambassador: that person so violating the proprieties of his position should be recalled and that one be iijit in his place Would have sonic regard for the proprieties of ids official posi tion.

SENATOR FLATT ON FINAKCfc COMMITTEE. General Opinion that lie Will be Appointed Connecticut Voted for San Francisco lor the National onveu-tlou. (Special to The Courant.) Washington. Dec. 10.

Senator Cullom's speech in the Senate to-day on the Monroe- doctrine attracted marked attention on both sides of the chamber. It takes even higher ground than has yet been taken in favor of the assertion and maintenance of this doctrine, claiming that it should be Incorporated in the statute law of the country. The resolution of Mr. Barrett ot Mas sachusetts, calling for the impeachment of Mr. Bayard, created quite a sensation at the Capitol to-day, but although It seems to be admitted even by many democrats that Mr.

Bayard's action 'in publicly denouncing abroad what had been for. years the established policy of this county was indiscreet and improper, yet It Is not 'believed that any impeachment proceedings will be seriously considered. It seems to be the general opinion among senators that Senator Piatt will beJ a member of the committee on finance, although Mr. Piatt himself declines to discuss the question of His own or any other committee assign ments, being himself a member of the caucus committee. If this be so, Connecticut will, for the first time In many years, have a representative on this important committee, although It Is, In proportion to population, one of the largest manufacturing states in the Union, and thus greatly Interested in the matters considered by this com mittee.

Connecticut's representative on the republican national committee, the Hon E. J. Hill, proxy for Mr. Fessenden, voted for San Francisco this afternoon, and said this evening that had it not been for the obstinacy of the Chicago people the Golden Gate City would have secured the prize. The Hon.

James Betts, the Insurance commissioner of Connecticut, stopped over here to-day cn his way to visit the Atlanta Exposition. THE M0NK0E D0GTB1NE. Senator C'u Horn Speaks for a Vigorous j'oiicy, Washington. Dec. 10.

A memorial from the wool growers of the United States asking protective legislation for the sheep industry was presented by Mr. Sherman. and referred to the committee on finance. Mr. Piatt 'Conn.) offered a res olution declaring that the condition of the Indian Territory as regards popu latlon, occupation of land and the absence of adequate government for the security of life and property has so changed since the making of treaties with the five civilized tribes that the United States is no longer legally or morally obliged to guarantee or permit Indian tribal government in the territory, and should once take such steps as may be necessary to.

protect the rights and liberties of all the inhabitants of the territory. The resolution was laid on the table so that some senators who desire to speak upon it may have an opportunity to do so. Mr. Call Fla.) offered a resolution looking to the suppression of cruelties and massacres inflicted on the Armenian subjects of Turkey. The resolution was laid on the table for the present.

Mr. Cullom 111.) then proceeded to address the Senate on the Monroe doctrine. The Monroe doctrine, he said, was the motto which should be indelibly, engraved upon the portals of the department of state. Instead of remaining as an edict of the executive, It should bear the definite approval of Congress and become a fixed and permanent ordinance, "In mr judgment," said Mr. Cullom, "the time has come when more positive language should be used than the old and oft repeated dec la ration that 'this government cannot view with indifference attempts of European governments to colonize either In North, South or Central The nation has played diplomacy long enough, and without much effect.

Great Britain has been disregarding polite requests, protests, arguments and suggestions that we can not 'look with indifference' upon her policy to reach out further until she, if let alone, will finally dominate Venezuela. The time has come for a plain, positive declaration of the Monroe doctrine by Congress, and then. If necessary, plain, positive enforcement of It against all comers." Whatever European rights existed as to ownership of territory on this hemisphere in our early history must continue. If there is dispute between nations as' to the boundary lines as they were, let, those lines be agreed upon by arbitration or in some way be determined. The United States does not seek war with any nation.

We do not attempt to interfere in matters touching interests or controversies In European countries, and we do not intend that European powers shall interfere in political affairs in this western continent. What authority entitles European nations to such a colonial foothold on our borders? They have planted their ilags on all the scattering islands and in nearly every spot on earth where they could monopolize trade or control the strategic advantages of location for their own interests. But It Is our duty to be always ready- to meet any anil all attempts they may make to approach unpleasantly near the established danger line. We offer no obstruction to their proper use of any trans-continental channel which may be constructed, but the control and sovereignty of such highway can never be held by any foreign power. We have reached the time when it becomes our duty to say to the world with dignity and firmness, that thus far, but no farther, shall foreign systems of government be permitted to approach.

Our policy is the American policy, our doctrine is the protection of American Interests, and our motto is America for Americans. Ai.the conclusion of Mr. Cullom's speech his resolution heretofore offered and reported was referred to the committee, on foreign relations, The Senate then adjourned until tomorrow.
