were invited to dine for the spice

would have the sense of dining y
we may roar across the table above

Old intimacies of felIow-diners are
gone. 1t is like hauling a friend across

But 1t Is not alone in dining that we

 Carranza's statement follows:
 Tn the National Lines of Mexico, the Mexican government will conserve the representation she already has in them and this head of the constitutionalist army will not recognize any operation which may be verified in relation to said lines, unless in such operation or agreement the constitutional govern ment is represented. I desire to make known, as result of articles published in New York, that the constitutional government has no compromises with the United States or any other nation. 1 have received no pecuniary assistance from foreign governments or citizens and from the beginning of the present revolution it has been solely sustained by national funds, and will be until the end"

NIAGARA FALLS, June 29.-Media- tion tonight is in most complex state. Its principals are undecided whether to formally adjourn or recess and renew their efforts through the American government toward bringing the con- stitutionalist and Huerta delegates in to conference for a solution of MeXi- co.'s internal problems.
 While the signing of a series of pro tocols covering the various phases of the international situation brought forth confident expressions from some quarters here that mediation has been a success. skepticism has arisen among others vitally connected with the pro- ceedings as to whether anything oi value actually has been accomplished That War has been averted is generally admitted, but of the actual pacifica : ton of Mexico few here see any vis- lble signs of progress.

Bodies of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and His Wife, Assassinated Sunday, Are Now En Route to Vienna for Burial
TO BE BURIED
 AT MIDNIGHT
Emperor Will Not Attend These Services, But Will Be Present When Re qrliem Mass is Being Celebrated
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspATcHl


 VIENNA. June 29-The bodies of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, assas- sinated yesterday, were conveyed from Sarayevo by a special train to Motko- witch and Dalmatia and from there they will be transferred tomorrow to warship. which will proceed to Trieste under the escort of a. suadron, arriving there on Thursday morning. A special train will carry the bodies to Vienna, arriving at ten o'clock at night.
 From Friday morning until noon they will lie in state in the chapel at Hofberg and the public will have the opportunity during these hours to pass through the chapel. Interment will be made at midnight at Artstetten-
 The emperor will not attend the services, but will be represented by the Arohduke Charles Francis Joseph.
 News of the proclamation of martial
 jaw at Sarayevo has excited surprise
 in political circles here, who find it difficult to believe it was necessary to resort to such extreme measures to prevent anti-Servian demonstrations.
 Requiem mass. which will be cele brated in the chapel of Hofberg Satur- day morning, will be attended by the emperor and members of the imperial family. Immediately afterwards the emperor will return to Ischl, where he will be notified of the assassination Archduke Francis Ferdinand was greatly attached to his Artstetten es- tate, which he inherited from his fath- CT. and had spent most of his boyhood in it's castle. Diligent search among the Archduke's papers in the Belvidere palace and his Vienna residence, failed to disclose will. According to one report, his will was deposited in a Prague bank. When found, in accord ance with the Hapsburg family law. it l must be given to the emperor to open. Private advices report anti -Servian riots at Mostar, the chief town of Her zegovina, and other centers. There appears to be little doubt that the whole internal situation in Bosnia Her zegovina is far from satisfactory. The Pan-Servian agitation has already ere i d widespread dissatisfaction among the people. In Vienna criticism is heard 1 regarding the inefficient measures talk l en to protect the heir to the throne. It | is considered particularly ineyplicable ] that after the first attempt at assas- i sination mscarried the police should 1 not have succeeded in preventing a sec ond attack.

 says must be sought through Mexi- l can courts. The Brazilian minister said he has no fear of a critical con-
 dition arising in Mexico City. He belives conditions will improve and
 does not intend to remove his fam 1 fly from the capital, nor will he ad-
 wise Americans to leave. Diplomatic representatives so far have failed i to follow the example of the British
