ASHLAND, Wis. Jan. ia little
more than year ago project was put
on foot by Scandinavians of Ashland
and Ironwood, Mich, for the formation
of general order or secret society for
the benefit of ScandinavianS throughout
the country. 1t was proposed to make
the movement general, and efforts then
nut forth are already bearing good fruit.
Eight lodges have been organized in one
wear in Wiscon sin, Michigan and Mill
nesota. and the grand lodge of the Scan
dinavian Mutual Benefit association for
the three states named is now holding
its annual session in this city. Appli-
cations from numerous societies in all
parts of the country asking admission
into this order were read at the meeting
of the grand lodge to-day. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY predicted by the prime movers
that the order will become general
throughout the United States within
very few wears. The following are the
new officers chosen for the ensuing
year by the grand lodge: President&
Hans Anderson, of Ishpeming, Mich.
vice president, John Medien: secretary,
John Erickson. of Ashland, Wis.,; treas
urer, NJ. Mattson. OF Ashland, Wis.,:

President Anderson, and the work of
the session shaped. Reports from Off

Delegates to the Huron Conven-
tion Don't Know What 1t was
Called For.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, Dak., Jan. ia large num-
ber of delegates to the statehood con-
yention, which will be held tomorrow,
are already here. Probably two-thirds
of the counties in South Dakota will be
represented. None of the delegates
seem to understand why the conven-
ton is called. There is sentiment,
however, that those towns desiring to
be selected as the capital are more
anxious than others for new deal or
the adoption of some measure that Will
give another vote Oh the capital location.
This can only be done by the convention
asking the legislature now in SESSION
to make an appropriation to defray the
expenses of another constitutional con-
vention. Should such a measure re-
ceive the sanction of the convention,
there will be general kick IN the coun-
ties in the north and east parts OF the
proposed new state. 1t is hardly prob
able that the advocates of the measure
have sufficient following to succeed.
The older and most experienced adVO-
Gates of statehood will strongly oppose
the proposition. on the ground OF unnec-
essary delay and unwarranted expense.
Care will be taken to avoid any clash or
the adoption of any plan that will not
receive the hearty approval of the
people. Friends in Washington will be
asked to use every honorable means to
secure admission by the present con-
g' gress, and nd in case Of failure the strong
est possible pressure will be made to
secure an extra session. Ii admission
can be gained by concessions or con-
promises with the Democrats they will
be made. The following are among
those on the ground: John +. Gamble,
of Yankton; j. G. Adams, of Webster

efforts to restore order and safety The at
tention Of congress is especially called to the
instructions given TO Admiral Kimberly dated
on the 1th instant, and the letter OF the sec
retary of state to the German minister dated
the 18th inst, which will be found among
the papers herewith submitted. By means OF
the papers and documents heretofore SUBJ
mitted and those accompanying this com
municaton, the precise situation Of affairs
in Samoa is laid before congress. and such
executive action as has been taken is fully
exhibited. The view of the executive in re-
spect to the just policy to be pursued with
regard to this group of islands, which lie in
the direct highway of the growing and i'm
portant commerce between Australia and the
United States, have found expression in the
correspondence and documents which have
thus been fully communicated to congress,
and the subject in its present stage is sub
mitted to the wider discretion conferred by
the constitution upon the legislative branch
of the government.
The correspondence alluded to by the
president was not laid before the house
or senate.

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Jan. 15.-The belief has be-
come general in diplomatic circles that
the troubles in Samoa must lead to
serious friction between the United
States and Germany, out of which will
probably grow a better understanding
between England and America. begin
ming with the relegation of the Sack
vile incident to oblivion. 1t is asserted
that a person in a position to know the
facts says Secretary Bayard Informed
Lord Salisbury of the recent happen
ings in Samoa forty-eight hours previ-
Gus to the first account of the trouble,
and it is further stated that this is
almost the only communication that has
passed between the English and Ameri-
can governments since the Sackville
correspondence.
