After Dinner speaking.

An after dinner speech should never
be wholly facetious. unless the, speaker
is very facetious indeed and cuts his
speech short. 1t should not be frivolous
even when thespeaker is full Of frivolity
1t must not under any circumstances be
silly, though there be people who laugh
at Stiffness. 1t must not be too long
winded, or highly exciting, or overheavy,
or ultra argumentative, or entirely sta
tistical, or in the least rancor0us. An
after dinner speech should Inappropriate
to the occasion and delivered on time.
1t may contain some essential thoughts,
some strokes of humor, some scraps Of
knowledge. some bits of fancy, some
sound reasons, some good whims, some
green dressing and little fat.
Every ablebodicd man Of New York is
apt to be an after dinner speaker some
time in his life. 1t is possible that as
many as 5000 after dinner speeches have
been made here during one winter sea-
son. One man has a record Of 10 Of them
for single week. three of them for one
evening.

others that were wearisome, inappropri-

MOUNTAIN VIEW AND FERNDALE

Ferndale is, having its sidewalks ex-
! tended.
Rev. Mr.. Johnson, Of Blaine, was in
Ferndale on Tuesday.
Miss Alice Smith left on Saturday to
take charge OF school near Wiser Lake
Greasy Bros, from Custer, attended the
Mountain View /. o. G.. Il on Friday
evening
The Morrison Bros. are soon to put up
saw mill In Ferndale: the machinery will
be here this week.
The revival meetings in Ferndale will
be continued this week. More interest is
being taken than usual.
Easter morning brought a shower of
snow instead of flowers, and the heavy
wrap took the place of the white dress,
with garlands and ribbons.
Rev. Charles Coggshall left for Seattle
on.Monday. A minister from California
is soon expected to take Rev. J. w, Wells
place in the Ferndale church.
Rev. J. W. Wells and family are max
ing arrangements to move to Seattle in
the near future. Mr.. Wells and his esti-
mable wife have worked samong us for
three years and will be greatly missed.
The Lynden Press seems to think that
Eerndale'e object to keep out the saloon
was t. catch the normal school. But no:
snow US the time that Ferndale has not
kept her gales closed against this evil.
We do not want to see our boys, or other
mothers boys, come ia contact with the
evils that necessarily surround such
places of depravity. Why not use the

place TO fit our young people for higher
and nObler aims in life.
On Thursday, Emmett Chichester. Cliff
Miller and Morris Williams, while rowing
on Lake Terrell, were suddenly turned
over into the water, about One-half mile
from the shore. The two older boys, EN-
met and Cliff, managed to cling to the
boat and hold up Morris, the delicate boy
Of nine. while they struggled and worked
TO reach the shore. Morris was chilled
through, and an hour or more was spent
in trying TO bring him to life. Forum
ateld they escaped with their lives, but it
will not be until one Is drowned that
safer boats will be used, and not the lit

Further Complications Between the
Two Countries Feared.
WASHINGTON, June 4. - Semi-oficial
reports still continue to reach Washing
ton from Peru indicating a threate ming
revolution in that country. A private
letter received from Lima to-day repre-
sents an extremely critical political situa-
ton, and grave danger is apprehended of
revolution before the day of the Presi-
dental election.
The appropriately of the candidate for
the Presidency, and the old controversy
about the nitrate beds which Chile
assumed control of at the close of the war
with Peru, is given as the cause Of the
unrest. At the coming election it is to be
decided by ballot whether Chile is to be
paid a certain portion of the revenues OBJ
tanned from these beds. The agitation of
the question, it was said, has aroused
much of the old war spirit, and further
complications between the two countries
is feared.
Nothing can be learned at the State De-
partment on the subject, but both the

NSPSNAeNA 49,
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The decision
of the Supreme Court upon the Chi
nese Exclusion Act recently delivered
may possibly have much wider scope
and affect a greater variety OF persons
than was probably foreseen by the Asso-
ciated Justices who joined with Mr.. Gray
in declaring it to be the law of the land.
The volume of foreign relations for 1892,
just published, contains a case in point
wherein the arguments used by the for
eign Government is a suggestive parallel
with those outlined by Justice Gray in
announcing the judgment ofthe Supreme
Court of the United States.
The circumstances of the case were that
Leon Sitter, born in Vienna, Austria,
emigrated to the United States, was
naturalized in New York and returned to
Vienna in 1890. In March, 1892, Splitter
was notified by the authorities that he
was expelled from Austria. Minister
Grant brought the case to the attention
of Count Kalnoky, protesting that the
treatment of Splitter was in violation of
the treaty of 1870 between Austria Hun
gary and the United States, guaranteeing
certain rights and protection thereof TO
citizens Of the respective countries.
Replying to Minister Grants COM
plant the Minister of Foreign Affairs
SAID Spitzer's emigration to the United
States was manifestly for the purpose of
evading military duty; that the expul-
sion of such individuals was based upon
considerations of public order, and that
every State has the right to expel for
eigneIs from a territory for reasons as
above stated, and the question of whether
and when reasons for such expulsion eX-
ist can be judged only by an internal
point of view.
This sentiment accords with the views
expressed by Justice Gray, and the
language is quite similar. Minister Grant
notified Count Kalnoky that this Govern
ment could not accept that Interpretation
of the treaty, position in which he was
supported by Secretary Foster, who in
dispatch dated July %. 1892, said that so
long as the treaty remains in force the
United States Government will insist
upon a strict compliance with it's terms,
and after careful examination of the case
in point it was reluctantly obliged to dis
sent from the views expressed by the
Austrian Hungarian Government.
In view. however, of the apparent in
consistency between the views of the
Executive and Judicial branches of the
Government, as disclosed by this cor
respondence, and the decision of the
Geary law, the attitude of the Govern
ment upon the next case of alleged viola
ton of the treaty rights by European
Government will be watched with
interest

WORLDS FAIR.
RAIN DETERS MANY FROM VISIT
ING THE GROUNDS.
Sixty Thousand Admission Tickets
Sold on the Second Opening
On Sunday.


Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
CHICAGO, June 4.-The second open
Sunday at the fair dawned bright and
clear and uncomfortably warm. The
transportation companies had prepared
all facilities in anticipation of an immense
business. Up to l o'clock they carried
upwards of thirty-five thousand people
to the White City. About that time
clouds came up, and shortly rain was fall
ing in torrents. The wind blew gale
and thunder and lightning played in a
most uncomfortable manner. Very few
braved such weather, and the couse-
quence was that less than sixty thousand
paid admission for the day. The visitors
were largely ofthe working class, accom-
panied by their families, and nearly all
brought lunch baskets.
Machinery Hall was crowded pretty
much all day, as was the fine arts build
ing and manufactures building. Nearly
all the Eastern State buildings were
closed to the public, while a majority of
the Western and Middle States were kept
open.
Krupps big guns were put through a
mimic drill this morning, being handled
exactly as in active service, except that
they were not fired.
According to the registers in nearly
every State building, the Western people
are coming to the fair in much greater
numbers than those living in the East.
The result of an investigation shows
that the following number of people reg
istered at the following State buildings,
among others: Illinois, of course. leads
the list, and Michigan is second, with
5000; Montana, 5000; Arizona, %; New
Mexico. so; Utah, 800; Idaho, 200; Wash
ington, 1000. Some States keep no reg
listers.

EAGLE PASS (Texas), June A fire
started last night in the Fuente coal
mines. operated by the Mexican Inter
national Railway, four miles from here.
At 4 o'clock yesterday evening, shortly
after locomotive with train of cars left
the mine, the entrance to the mine was
discovered on fire, and smoke and flames
were seen issuing out of the air shafts.
About one-half of the miners were
working near the main tunnel, and
these made their escape, leaving twenty
six of their number TO perish from heat
and smoke and poisonous gases, which
spread like lightning to every portion of
the mines.
When it was seen that all efforts to
rescue the imprisoned miners were
useless, every energy was directed to
saving the property from destruction.
Water was poured onto the burning tim
bers, and in three hours the fire was
under control.
At Il o'clock to-day one body was re-
covered, and shortly after another, fear
fully scorched and blackened, was
brought to the surface. 1t is believed
that by tomorrow the mine will be
cleared of heat and smoke, which at
present it is impossible to cope with, and
all the bodies will be recovered.
All the miners employed were Mexi-
cans, and most of them leave destitute
families.
1t is reported that all parties RESPONSE
bic for the management of the mines
have been placed under arrest pending
an investigation of the cause of the dis
aster.
A large number of the friends and rel
atives of the unfortunate miners gathered
at the mouth of the mine mutely await
ing the recovery of the bodies. When a
body was taken out there was no out
burst Of grief, but look of quiet resigna-
ton and deep grief appeared upon every
countenance. Hundreds of people were
visitors to the scene to-day, and smoke
still issuing from the fire shafts impresses
on all the folly of hoping that any of the
imprisoned miners are vet alive,
