withdrawn when the day appointed to try it comes round.

It is more than likely, however, that Mr. Havemeyer and Mr. Searles will
both have to share Mr. Chapman's fate, and pay the penalty of their
contempt of the Senate.

The log of the _Mayflower_ is now safely in this country.

It was brought over by Mr. Bayard, the former Ambassador to England, who
arrived here a day or two ago.

When the Bishop of London handed the manuscript to Mr. Bayard, he told
him that an application had been made by Mr. Hay, the new Ambassador,
for the log to be turned over to him, as Mr. Bayard was now no longer
the Ambassador of the United States.

The persons who had the log in charge decided that Mr. Bayard was the
proper person to carry the manuscript to Boston, as all arrangements had
been made with him, and so Mr. Hay's request was denied.

Before the manuscript was given to Mr. Bayard, a clerk read the
conditions of the transfer of the "log." These, among other things,
provided that certified copies should be furnished to any persons
wishing to have them.

When Mr. Bayard arrived in this country, he was asked how the English
had felt about the killing of the Arbitration Treaty.
