eight months ago it was dedicated, . good
congregation of Welsh people being pres
ent at the time. Messrs. ID. o. Davies and
Lewis Il. Roberts were selected deacons,
Mr.. D. II. Jones secretary, Mr.. John F.

Hughes, of Columbus City, Ia, to
supply their pulpit Two weeks
ago, he received an unanimous cali to be
the permanent pastor OF the church, which
he has since accepted. Mr.. Hughes eff
forts. both in his pulpit and pastoral work,

congregation has more than doubled since

the present outlook, the seating capacity

mated that there are already over 400

THE sCANDINAvIANs.
SEATTLE. Aug. Q. lser

SEATTLE, Aug. 2, 1890.
To THE EDrToR: In this morning issues re-
port of the scandinavian mass-meeting last
night, there is q statement that must make
every loyal Scandinavian blush to the very bot
tom of his feet 1t says: 1.-THE object of the
club is TO cultivate the habit among the Sean
dinsvians, of voting and working for their own
countrymen regardless Of politics"
The blacklist foe OF our nationality couid not
have made a worse statement than that, al
though 1t was made 10 your reporter by one of
our own nationality. would thousand times
rather not have seen the meeting held than
have the idea conveyed to our fellow-citazens
that the Scandinsvians are as elannish as that
statement undoubtedly must make them believe
we are. / hope. therefore, that you will kindly
allow me . little space in your paper for an ex-
PLANTATION.
Ills recognized fact that the scandiuavians,
% lar, have not taken as prominent u part nor
exerted the influence in Seattle politics as they,
according to their numerical strength, ought to
have done. The reason for this 10 partly lack of
interest. partly lack of knowledge In matters
pertaining 20 pablo life. but principally because
of lack OF organization. To remedy these de-
fects were the chief objects of our meeting last
night
Besides that the organization has also other
objects. but Insignificant as compared with
those already mentioned. They are to see tha.

due consideration In the distribution of public
ofaees and that they have fair representation

THE ISLES OF PLENTY.
Their Wealth Of Fruit to Be
Poured Into Seattle.
DAILY STEAMER TO SAN JUAN.
4 Boat Under Construction which win
Bring Products Of IsIand
Orchards 70 Market.

4 few months will zee Seattle in daily
steamer connection with the islands, and
next season viii see their wealth of fruit
poured in abundance into the Seattle mar
ket. At present the only beat running 70
the islands is the Evangel, which runs three
times . week to aud from Port Townsend
to San Juan island. running through
to Seattle one trip . week. The result Is
that much of the fruit crop of the islands
is wasted, while fruit at Seattle is scarce
and commands exorbitant prices. Many
sheep have also been lost through delay in
shipment.
Captain r. B. WILDER, Of this city, who
has twenty years experience as steam
boatman at New York, and II. w. Butler,
of Anacortes, with L. e. Emory as con-
sulting engineer, are building boat at
Anacortes 100 feet long. twenty-one foot
beam and ten foot draft, to
run among the islands. She will
make q daily round trip from
Anacortes among the islands to BelIingham
bay, connecting at Anacortes with the
Eastern Oregon and at Beliingham bay
with other steamers. They are fully salts
fed that there is good opening for q
steamer running among the islands and
tucy arc organizing tAc SoS suoh
Steamboat Company to operate their boat.
The capital stock will be $4,000 in $40
shares, and they are seeking subscriptions
among the fruitgrowers of the islands.
who have lost great part of their crop for
lack of transportation. and have to be con-
tent with tri-weekly mail.
The main object of the company is to get
the fruit into the Seattle market, where a
scarcity has hitherto existed. The extent
of the business awaiting this steamer may
be conceived from tine fact that there are
5000 tons of fruit on San Juan island
alone and 1900 on all the is
lands together. The crop this year
is the largest ever known. Twenty tons
of strawberries were shipped from Friday
harbor alone. One man on San Juan
island picked between $50 and $50 Ave-
pound boxes of strawberries from patch
OF threefourths of an acre and realized 20
per cent. profit, the cost of cultivation
being only $465. the chief item of
cost being picking. Mr.. Butler states that
there is proportionately more land under
cultivation on the islands than in any
other part of the Sound country, and yet
land is remarkably cheap. especially con-
sidering its productiveness.

steps to wiring the brute who assaulted
him to justice.
II shall prosecute Clark. the saloon
keeper, if can find him" said Mr.. Sutton
yesterday, "but understand he has skip
ped out. However, the case is already in
the hands of lawyer and he has orders to
proceed vigorously with it."
Mr.. Sutton emphatically denies as libel
Gus the articles in the Almira paper in re-
gard to his conversation with the woman,
who was the means of bringing down the
wrath of the saloon-keeper.

TROUBLE BETWEEN POLES AND LITHUANIANs.

wilkesbarre Penn, Jan. 23.-The reports published
to-day concerning the Polish troubles at Plymouth
last night are somewhat exaggerated. The facts are
that as soon Wilkes, the leader Of the anti
Lithuanian faction, released on bail he went to
Plymouth swearing that II the bodies of the children
had been buried in the Polish cemetery, OF which ne
is sexton, he would have them dug up at all hazards
Upon his arrival there he organized mob, and
placing himself at their head marched to the cemetery
The earth above the coffns removed, but the ap
proach OF a funeral procession interrupted further
desecraton and led to the fight Of those engaged in
the work. The bodies not multllated or re-
moved from their graves. On complaint of the
Lithuanians, Wilkes and eight Others were arrested
and taken before Alderman Donahue to-day for
a hearing Ex-Attorney General Palmer and State

After much debate the House adopted the elev-

the measure During the discussion Herr Herr
furth, Minister of the Interior, declared that the
clause providing for the declaration OF minor
state of siege when and where the Government
deems expedient was indispensable and urgently

a permanent measure would be efficacious
The three clauses above mentioned relate to tne
suppression Of periodicals and associations ana 10
appeals against decisions.
Herr Buhl said that the National Liberals were
willing to vote for a permanent measure iney
were convinced of the danger of the Social De-

The House ultimately rejected the expulsion
clause and decided to make the measure perma-
