Borvato, Oct. 14 —During the early breakfast atthe hotel the members of the international American congress indulged in some gosmp over the proceedings at the Clifton house din- ner last night and the committee feel satisfied that the representatives who had been called upon to speak bad responded with dignity and had acquitted themusions well from « diplo~ matic point of view. Mr. William E. © the of the excursion, however, seem to feel somewhat sore and after an animated conversation with Mr. Wiman, who had = the dinner, he spoke to an Associated Tepresenative as follows: “Mr. Wiman is one of the members of the committee of business men in New York ap- pointed to look after the reception and enters tainment of the delegates in that city. As suck he met uson our way from West Point and told me he intended to be in Niagara when we were there and would like to entertain us at dinner, I told him my instructions from Mr. Blaine were to accept no bospitalities on Sun- day. There was a great deal of confas sion im the .party at the time, and I asked him to be good enough to put bis invitation in writing, which be did, and received it at Boston, It was that we should j dine with him at the Clifton hotel on the Can- adian side at the end of our drive, instead of going to our own hotel for dinner, and he said that the affair would be entirely informal. I then wrote back, accepting the invitation, but telling him that it was not certain that all of our delegates desired to attend. In Springgeld Isaw by the newspapers that he in- vited some Canadian officials to meet us. Tatonce reminded him by telegraph of our agreement and told him the invitation had been accepted upon the understanding that the affair was to be entirely informal and that no speecher were to be delivered. Yesterday morning upon our arrival in Niagara Falls he came to see me and I rode with him ine car- in the morning. We talked matters over and I explained fully to him Mr. Blaine's wishes and instructions, which were that we should not have any formalities Sun- day, but that we shonid entirely ab- stain from travel and formalities, af the same time leaving our guests absolutely free in their engagements on that day. He understood this fully. I told him it had been suggested that Doctor Nin should recite @ Spanish poem descriptive of Niagara Falls, and that this would be entirely approriate and proper, which he assented to and agreed that Doctor Ninshould be called upon between the courses and not at the close of the dinner. I did not attend the dinner myself because I felt that it would be vetter not to do so; but I noti- fied Mr. Cornelius Bliss of my agreement with Mr. Wiman and Mr, Bliss reminded bim of thatagreement. I was, however, much sur- prised of course when I learned what had taken Place at the dinner, and this morning when I met Mr. Wimaun in the station I told him I was very sorry to be compelled to telegraph Mr. Blaine that our agreement had been violated by him. Ireminded him of his promise that no _—— would be made, whereupon he replica: **There were no speeches, only a little talk.” “I have informed Mr. Biaine of the circume stances aod also that 1 understand that before Mr. Wiman left New York he placed copies of the speech he intended to deliver in the offices of the newspapers.” The party left Niagara Falls at about 8:30 o'clock and at 9:15 the train drew up at Buffalo.
