THE NORTH.

The first number Of the Scandina-
vian paper The North, published in
the English language at Minneapolis,
Mimi, edited by Luth Jaeger, is just
out. The object Of the paper is to
furnish medium through which all
that is up among and is of especial
interest to the Scandinavians may be
brought before the great American
public further, as far as news
paper can further, the speedy solution
of the nationality question by the
amalgamation of nationalities, and

yet while this process of blending is
being consummated, to do what can
be done to incorporate all that is
high and noble in Scandinavian char
acter, all that is good and beautiful
in Scandinavian literature in the
American nation of the future. Here
tofore such medium has not existed.
All discussions of a peculiarly ma
tionality interest have been carried
on in the papers published in the re-
spective languages. Designing poll
ticians have in these often been able
to misrepresent facts which may have
had great effect on public affairs, and
the American public has never known
of it or been in position to rectify
these Misrepresentation. Now this
will be made comparatively easy.
One page Of The North is devoted
exclusively to translations Of editor
lals from leading Scandinavian Jour
nails, Quite good deal of space is
devoted to translation of standard
Scandinavian authors and the excel
lence of those in the present issue
promise we'll for the future. The
rest Of the paper is taken up by such
matters as ordinarily belong to gen
eral, political newspaper. tits to be
perfectly non-partisan and indepen-
dent. The publication of this paper
is a movement in the right direction
and it ought to receive hearty sup
port from all who look to the best
interests of their country. Silver
Serumgard, Of this place, is agent and
general correspondent for North Da-
kota.

GUTHRIE, I. T., May "A strong un- dercurrent of feeling is displayed here over the plat of the city as laid off by the city council. It appears that in order tC satisfy the grced'of certain settlers some of the streets were made much narrower than others, and some of the blocks almost twice as long as others.
 large corps of surveyors have been working on the plat for some days. The marshal has begun to clear streets of such Instructions as tents and frame buildings. As a consequence, some peo- pie have become suddenly aware that they are living in the streets. Those that were forced out of the streets imme- diately proceeded to jump other people s lots. No trouble has occurred, and it is safe to say that the good sense that per- vades the community will prevent any serious atfray.

Mrs. Harrison has, by the way, held her last reception for the season. These receptions were for her old ac- quaintances here and their friends Mrs. Harrison received in the red room, which Is really the private parlor where the ladies of the White House see their friends. She stood at the door in a soft, brown silk, gold-braided, and held in one hand stem of orchids. Mrs Scott-Lord stood next to her, and later Mrs. Mckee came in and assisted. Mrs. Harrison's manner is still little stiff with strangers, as though she had not got quite ac- customed to her new position, but when ever she spied friend she reached out her hand cordially as though relieved at seeing familiar face. Miss Ada Murphy, who is a guest at the White House, assisted in making things pleas ant At o'clock the Women's Press Association, waiting in the east room, was received, and nearly every member had to stop and say something to Mrs. Harrison, in order to get good look at her to ito write her up."

A STRANGE ADMISSION

that Rs Deliberately aiisstated q Fnct, Kissed uim-E Every One sur- p.ssed by the 1sl.h headers Words

LONDON, May d--The cross-examina- ton of MT. Palnen before the Parnell commission | still continued. He said Ire had often reprovcd William O'Rrien for the v3cluri. character of the articles Fublished Tn his paper, United Ireland. "itncsE had not publicly repudiated them because 1t was not the way to effect the alterations no desired.
 Mir. Parnell denied that he knew Num- Der One either under the name of Tynan or any other name, and said that he had never heard of Mir. Eagan being associ- ated with the ''Martyrs' fund" for the benefit of tho families of the Phoenix park murderers. He saw nothing criminal in the fund, and rather thought it was right to assist the innocent victims. The Martyrs fund.- might not, however have been the most appropriate name for such fund. lie could not, he said, rec ollect denouEcing outrageS between 1878 and 1881. He believed the outragcs per petEated to have been the work of smaH secret societies.
 Witness was then asked whether, if secret societies adverse 10 the league had existed and if vast maj ority of the peo- pie had belonged to tho league, there would not have been ample evidence obtained 10 convict tho perpetrators of outragcS, but he parried the question, saying that that might or might not have been the case.
 Attorney Webster quoted a statement made by MT. Parnel in the taarSsso of commons during the debate on MT. Fosters bill in 1881 suspending the writ of habeaS corpus to the effect that secret societies had then ceased to exist i'll Ireland.
 Did you believe that when you said 1t?' a"ied the attorney general.
 "No. replied MT. Parnell. "At any raSe, it was grossly exaggerated state ment"
 There was buzz of surprise through out the courtroom at this response.
 ''h.d you or did you not continued tho attorney-general, ''intend to misstate the fact when you made that statement" "
 II have no doubt I did," was the reply
 The general-DeIiberate
 MT. Parnell--Yes, de'hsrately.
 The AttorneyGenel E You deliher- atela made the statemc . knowing it to be untrue?
 MT. Parnell-Yes, or if not untrue very cxtravagant and boastful.

Four Sleeping Children Consumed Be-
 fore the Parents Eyes.

BALTIMORE, May 4.-A distressing accident, by which four children of Charles Williams, were burned to death, took place at Abingdon, near Hartford Station, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The family, consisting of hus- band, wife, and five children, went to bed at about 10 o'clock An hour later neighbors saw the house burning, and made intellectual efforts to quench the flames.
 MT. and Mrs. Williams escaped with the baby, who will probably die. The parents, seriously burned themselves, stood watching the fire, which was ap- preaching their sleeping children. The house burned to the ground and con- sumed the children, furniture, and all. These people are left with no children excepting the baby, no money, home, or clothing. Vice-President King of the Baltimore and Ohio sent dispatch offering aid to this afflicted employe.

Peace.
 AsPINwALL, May "Details of a seri ous riot in Georgetown, Demerara, begin ming March 19 and lasting three days, have just been received here. The inn mediate cause of the rioting was 6 quar- rel in the market between a Portuguese and a negro, in which the latter was knocked SenSeleSs and Is said to have received fatal injuries. The real cause, however, was the old feud between the Portuguese and the negro population.
 Certain recent judicial decisions in favor of Portuguese prisoners had in. famed the negroes and only the slightest spark was needed to spring tho mine This was furnished by the fracas in the market, and in a few hours time George town was scene of wild riot and confu- sion, which might have been avoided by prompt action of the officials.
 | rabble of frantic, senseless negroes rushed through the streets, spreading destruction everywhere. The authorities were paralyzed and opposed to the mob very inadequate force of police, special constables and volunteers, armed only with police batons. The rioters outnum- bered them fifteen to one and were armed with sticks, stones, broken bottles, cut lasses, and some with pistols. The re- suit was deplorable. The city defeneers were overpowered and and roughly han died, but not until after they had suc- ceeded in taking 300 prisoners.
 During the night succeeding the first day some terrible scenes of debauchery were enacted by the drink-enraged mob, and their excesses only prepared the way for their defeat on the second day, when the authorities resorted to the use of firearms. During the night all the special constables had been served with muskets and twenty rounds each of ball cartridge. The first discharge was so unexpected by the mob that they were thoroughly demoralized and fled. Dur ing the day there were several skir- mishes and large number of persons were seriously wounded, many of whom died in the hospital, which was filled with the victims. Slight casualties are reported among the government forces and the damage to property is estimated at $10O,0O

Lynchfns at Last Needless.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Mar 4-After de- liberating nearly three hours, the jury in the Hawes murder trial has returned verdict of murder in the first degree, with the recommendation that the defendant suffer death. This is the case of the man who murdered his wife, and who was in directly the cause of the riot in which several respectable persons were shot. He was once acquitted on trial, but the popular desire that he should be hanged has not lost it's strength through lapse of time.
