BAYARD HONORED. The Delaware Statesman Sent as Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James—Other Nominations. WASHINGTON, March 31.—Thursday was notable in the diplomatic history of the government because of the appointment of the first ambassador from the United States to a foreign post since continental days. Hitherto, though empowered to appoint ambassadors under section two of the constitution, every president has confined himself to the lower rank of ministers, but the last congress provided that whenever any foreign nation raised the rank of its representatives at Washington to that of ambassador the president should recognize the courtesy by a similar appointment. Great Britain was the first to promote its minister at Washington, Sir Julian Paunce-

fote, to the rank of ambassador, and France and Germany have promptly followed. Thursday President Cleveland appointed the first ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, of Delaware. Mr. Bayard’s nomination caused considerable surprise. It had been stated frequently of late that Mr. Cleveland did not propose to make any change for the present, at least, either at London or at Vienna, and that both Messrs. Lincoln and Grant would be permitted to remain for some time. The appointment is regarded in Washington with general satisfaction. Mr. Bayard being an ex-senator was immediately confirmed by the senate at its executive session without the formality of a reference to committee. It is felt that Mr. Bayard is specially equipped for service at the court of St. James. Mr. Bayard, who was secretary of state during Mr. Cleveland’s former administration, is now in his 65th year. He has been in public life since 1851, when he was appointed United States district attorney for Delaware. In 1855 he removed to Philadelphia, where he became the partner of Willlam Shippen and practiced for two years, but returned to Wilmington and continued practicing law until he was elected in 1868 to succeed his father in the United States senate. He took his seat March 4, 1869, and being reelected in January, 1875, and again in 1881, served continuously until he became Mr. Cleveland’s secretary of state in 1885. On the day on which he was elected to the senate for a full term his father was also elected a senator from Delaware to serve for the unexpired part of his original term. This is the only case of a father and son being voted for by the same legislature to fill the senatorial office In the senate he served on the committee on finance, judiciary, private land claims, libra ry and revision of laws. In October, 1881, he was elected president pro tempore of the senate.

He was a member of the electoral commission of 1876-7 and a conspicuous upholder in congress of democratic doctrines and state rights and was voted for in national convention as a candidate for the presidency in 1880 and again in 1884. Other nominations sent to the senate are as follows: James A. McKenzie, of Kentucky, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Peru. Lewis Baker, of Minnesota, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Nicarauga, Costa Rica and Salvador. Pierce M. B. Young, of Georgia, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Guatemala and Honduras. Edwin Dun, of Ohio (now secretary of legation at Japan), to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Japan. John M. Reynolds, of Pennsylvania, to be assistant secretary of the interior (vice Cyrus Bussey, resigned). Lawrence Maxwell, Jr., of Ohio, to be solicitor general (vice Charles H. Aldrich, resigned). John I. Hall, of Georgia, to be assistant attorney generar (vice George H. Shields, resigned). To be consuls of the United States—L. M. Shaffer, of West Virginia, to Stratford, Ont,; Harrison R. Williams, of Missouri, to Vera Cruz; M. P. Pendleton, of Maine, to Pictou; Theodore M. Stephan, of Illinois, to Annaberg; William T. Townes, of Virginia, to Rio de Janeiro; Claude Meeker, of Ohio, to Bradford; Newton B. Eustis, of Louisiana, to be second secretary of the legation of the United States at Paris.

The senate has confirmed these nominations: Thomas F. Bayard, ambassador to Great Britain; William T. Gary, of Georgia, attorney of the United States southern district of Georgia; Joseph S. James, of Georgia, attorney of the United States northern district of Georgia; George J. Denis, of California, attorney of the United States southern district of California; Thomas J. Allison, of North Carolina, marshal of the United States western district of North Carolina; Frank Leverett, of Georgia, marshal of the United States southern district of Geordia. WASHINGTON, March 31. —Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Maxwell has appointed 188 fourth-class postmasters, and of this number 85 were to fill vacancies caused by removals.

In Vermont there were twenty appointments and ten removals, in West Virginia fourteen appointments and eleven removals, and in Wisconsin ten appointments and five removals.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.
