FORElGN AFFAIRS.

An assuring report, by the commit
tee on Foreign Relations, to
THE BOARD OF TRADE or BOISE COUNTY.
Gentlemen of the B. of T.: Your
committee having in charge the i'm
portant care of the foreign relations
OF this Board, beg to say that the af-
fairs of Europe have largely engross-
ed our attention for the last month.
There was most imminent danger at
one time that the "dogs Of war;" in
spite Of all our efforts, would break
loose, but we are glad to assure the
Board, and through them the world,
that, by sklllful management and
judicious distribution OF bones, we
have the ours now we'll in hand, and
there is no immediate danger. The
committee, however, in view of the
imminence of danger, advised the
War Department at Washington to
continue the force in the neighbor-
hood of Boise City for short time.
We were led to this course knowing
the lively interest this Board has in
the welfare and prosperity of that vii
lage, and that it would be a cause of
profound sorrow, if, through our neg
lect, any damage should come to our
little daughter. But we are episod-
ing, as Josiah Aliens wife would say.
Well, to return: The late Emperor
William we had buried in a manner
becoming his rank. We put Fred on
the throne, but presume we shall soon
be called upon to make some change
there, as Fred is awfully "ailing-"
Prince Oscar of Sweden got in love
with miss below his rank, and the
old folks "bucked'' terribly; but your
committee stood firm, giving them
distinctly to understand that it is
cardinal doctrine OF this B. of I. that
even king can marry a servant gir
if the girl is willing to thus thro"
herself away. The old folks final
ly consented, and all are now hap
DIV. We are now working up 1
match between a couple of th'
boys and girls of the royal houses
of Russia and Germany, but vi
are not warranted in making th'
matter too public at the present. W.
have great hope of success in thl
matter, and have no doubt we shal
be able to preserve the peace OF Eu
rope.
We have the Chinese question vel
in hand, and have hit upon the pollc,
of cutting the river levees as the bes
mode of sending them over Jordan
,, whose levees never break.
Strong appeals come to US fror
northern Siberia. 1t is stated upo
nndoubted authority that 1t has bee
quite cold in all that region durin
the past winter and that early plo"
inp and sowing will be almost out
the question, and that the crop OF pc
tatoes and cucumbers must ineyltabl
. be failure. In view of these taci
we would submit to the B. of /. If
O will not be we'll, as soon as we ca
realize that surplus of one hundre
= and twenty millions, to send tro
, Last Chance via the St. Paul, Aiast
:. & St. Petersburg railroad few c.
n loads of early garden truck.
4 We would report in concluslf
, that the goldfish and mackerel que
4 ton is at last settled between En-
;s land and America. This was broug
d about by your committee, assurll
d the English that unless the \ ank'
70 were allowed to go ashore and d
is angle worms when ever they wlshe
"a the B. of 7. would order declai
70 ton of war and the annexation OF
ot the British possessions OF Nor
20 America to the United States. /
h mother country was opposed TO
n nexation and conceded the ans
II worms, and so war has again be
At arrested!
:? Long live the Board Of Trade
IT, Boise county.
