A FISHING EXCURSION


Last night at II o'ciock a very Sc
lect crowd Of foreign dukes, lords and
earls, started on a fishing expedition
to Grays River, under the leadership
Of little Tommy Ryrie duke Of Buck
lnghamshIre), who is going to act as
master Of ceremonies, All arrange
ments have been made according to
the European plan, and It Is safe 10
say that the gentlemen will have n
good time. ,'l
Just before enibafklhg there was
quite a controversy among the would
be fishermen as to the quality and
more especially as to the quantity OF
taedlcine to be taken along. The car
go was overhauled and found 10 be
insufficient, and a motion to take more
ballast was carried with only one dis
senting vote, that Of Sir Charles Nc
Donald. Mr.. Otto Prael had reported
that Washington was infested with
snakes and urged upon the gentlemen
the necessity Of taking proper precau-
tons His suggestion met with gen
eral approval from Lords s. s. Smith,
H. G. Smith, A. Dunbar, DR.. Mclean;
Dukes Thorsen, Bryce, Stein, Parker,
and Earls Taylor, sheeler, Burroughs
and r. Mclean.
The excitement Just before embark
ing was so intense that bystanders
imagined that they had suddenly run
on TO a Populistic convention. Their
belief may be confirmed II they are at
the dock to greet the distinguished
party upon their return.

free silver men, have discussed the

"As to myself, am prnctlSlng law

country like the United States, doing
business with all the world, and ow-

will not establish such me-

result in the reputation OF all its

like this. TO give ones full Views and
ideas on such an important subject
can only say that It is great fallacy
for us to imagine that we can establish
the free coinage OF silver without the
