His Wilmington Residence Being Reno
vated for His Occupancy.
HE MAY HOT RETURN TO HIS POST
Ii is Hinted That Our Ambassador Is Dis
satisfied With the Action of Congress
and tie Drain on His Private Purse
by His Residence Abroad.
WilminuTos, Del., March 31.-Thore is
11 strong supposition hero that Ambassa
dor Bayard is contemplating resigning
from his post. Willie ills friends refuse to
give any definite particulars, they hint
that Mr. Bayard Is dlssntlsflod with tho
action of congress, and also that tho drain
on his private purso nocessary to keop up
tho dignity of his diplomatic position has
reached such a point that ho can no longer
maintain It. Tho story Is not confirmed
by his son, Thomas F. Bayard, Jr., but
cortaln developments Indicate that tho
ambassador means to return to tills coun
try for at loast an lndoflnlto period.
When Sir. Bayard took Ills family to
England two years ago ho rented hlsliouso
at Clayton and Sycamoro streots to, How
ard Pylo, tho nrtlst, and it was thon gen
erally understood that the loaso was to ex
tend until tho tlmo of Mr. Bayard's re
turn to resumo his resldonco here. In obe
dlcnco to a notification recolved last weok
Mr. Pylo Is preparing to leavo tho prem
ises, and certain local contractors havo
been ordered to at onco bogln the work of
renovation and repair.
Tho story of Mr. Bayard's return was
rumored last weok, when, it was s.tld, ho
meant to visit this country next summer
to participate In tho campaign in Dela
ware. Local politicians, however, do not
credit this theory.
TO DISCUSS BOND ISSUES.
Senntors Will Start Another Prolonged
DUctisiUon.
Washington, March 31. Tho senate Is
to havo a revival of financial and bond
discussion as a result of an animated do
bate shortly before tho session closed yes
terday. Mr. Poller's resolution for tho ap
pointment of a special commlttco of five
senators to Investigate recent bond issues
has been relegated to the calendar, owing
to tho opposition of Mr. Hill, but It was
reached In tho regular ordor yesterday.
Again Mr. Hill sought to havo tho resolu
tion go over, but ho was met by cnergotlc
protests, not only from Mr. Poffor, but
also from. Mr. Wolcott and Mr. Toller.
Tho latter gavo notlco that further delays
would not bo resisted, and Mr. Peffor fol
lowed with notice that ho would today
movo ins bona inquiry resolution, as soon
as Mr. Georgo concludes a speech on the
uupont case. This proinlsos to bring n
test voto unless dilatory tactics aro re
sorted to.
Tho houso yesterday took up the consld'
eratlon of tho sundry civil appropriation
bill nnd dlsposod of flfteon of tho hundred
pages beforo adjournment. During the
genoral debate Mr. Cannon, tho prosont
head of tho appropriation committee, nnd
his prodecessor, Mr. Sayors, of Toxas, in
torchauged opinions as to the present and
past appropriations. Mr. Cannon in tho
course of his remarks expressed tho opin
ion that the appropriations for this session
could not fall below $508,000,000. Tho
action of the committee In appropriating
for contract work only until Maroh, 1897,
was attacked, but Mr. Cannon justified It
on tho ground that tho same- tiling had
been done last ycurln tho caso of tho forti
fications bill.

Bloody Attack Hade on a Slavonian!
Last Nicht.
HIS THROAT CUT WITH A RAZOR
The Attack Was Made Without Provocation
and the Victim Had a Narrow Escape
From Death Oillcers Mako a Long
Hunt For the Assailant.
A cold-blooded attempt at murder was
made by a Slavonian named Stephen rar
kosh, on East Ccntro street, upon one of his
countrymen named John Keshcmick. Tho
attempt was mado with a razor and tho vie'
tim escaped death by an exceedingly narrow
margin. According to tho assailant s ad
missions there was no provocation for the
attack. Ho escaped after committing tho
deed and was caught in a search through
bushes after a long hunt. Both men aro
Slavonians and not over 25 years of age.
According to tho story of the prosecutor
Keshcmick was sitting in front of his board
ing house, near Bridge street, with two other
nirn when Farkosli stolo upon tho group and
before his presenco was discovered drew tho
sharp blado of a razor across tho throat of
Keshcmick. Tho gash was an ugly one four
inches in length and extended from tho left
side. Fortunately tho slash was made with
more quickness than strength. Farkoah ran
away immediately and sought refugo in 0110
of tho many over-crowded boarding
houses in tho vicinity. Although blood
streamed from tho wound Kcshcruick diil
not appear to loso strength, or presence of
mind. His friends tied a handkerchief
about his throat and he went to Justice
Toomoy. Aftor lodging a complaint ho
followed tho Justice's advice and sought a
physician. Dr. Hamilton drcscd tho wound
and put eight stitches in it. Tho doctor
stated that had tho slash started a twentieth
part of an inch to tho left the jugular vein
would havo been severed.
Constable Oihlon aud Special Oiliecr Alex
were detailed to hunt tho assailant aud
searched a houso in tho vicinity of tho place
where tho attack was mado. They wero
told that Farkosh had been there, but left for
his hoarding house at Ellangowan. Tho
olliccrs went to that place and immediately
after their departure Farkosh re-entered tho
house that had been searched. He was told
that tho police were after him, but lie only
laughed nnd wielding the bloody razor, said,
"If they eomo near me, I'll cut them as 1 cut
Keshernick." Tho occupants of tho houso
became learful for their own safety and sent
a messonger to Justice Tooniey's oliico. Two
citizens were sent to tho house, but Farkosh
disappeared beforo thoy arrived.
The trip made by Uiblon aud Alex to
Ellangowan was, of course, unsuccessful, hut
when the oillcers reached the borough lino on
their way back they saw a man jump into
tho bushes at tho side of the road. They
gave chase and after a long search found
Farkosli lying prostrato in a clu nip of bushes.
They pounced upon Mm and while ono held
him, tho other searched for weapons to
prevent any more bloody work. Only a
razor case, somo letters and receipts for
money recently sent to tho old country wore
found on the 111:111.
Farkosli was taken before Justice Toomey
and acknowledged tho charge. He said that
ho had a fight with Keshernick on Saturday
night aud tho latter had boasted that he
could whip Ferkosh. The prisoner said ho
wanted to show the people that Keshernick
could not fulfill his boast. Tho prisoner was
taken to tho l'ottsvlllo jail tills morning to
await trial.
