antagonistic to the laws OF this country.
and gave instances 10 prove that members
of the Sons of st. George had on several oc-
casions rendered good service to the coun-
try of their adoption. He also pointed out
the material and social advantages to be
obtained by gathefing together Of men TO
keep alive memories Of their native land.
He remarked that the membership OF the
society was over Is, 600, and lodges were es-
tablished in all the states OF the Union.
Nearly thirty persons signed the charter

dertaker Bonney returned 1t p. m. yes-
terday, on the steamer George +. Starr.
with the body of Il. Louis Cox, which was
found in the water the day previous near
Browns point. 1t was placed in q sealed
casket at once and conveyed to the resi-
dence of Colonel Halter. The body was in
q fair state Of preservation considering the
long time which IL had been in the water.
One hand lay on the breast and the other
at the side. The high rubber boots which
Mr.. Cox was known to have had we're on
the body and the clothes were such a. be
had on when he started on the fatal trip.
There is not the least doubt OF the identity
OF the body, which would have been identi-
fed even without the aid of the watch with
the engraved initials.
The funeral occurred from the residence
OF Colonel Halter at o'clock. Rev.
George Herbert Watson officiated and read
the solemn and impressive service Of the
Episcopal church over the body.
A large number of friends and the rela-
lives participated in the exercises at the
funeral and the occasion was one of I'M
usual sadness and subdued grief. The in
ternent was made in the Masonic ceme-
terry IN the Halter family lot
A further search Is being made for DR..
Minor. with every hope of success A few
days more will doubtless witness the last
chaptsr in the sad disaster

A sEArrLEIrE IN THE EAST.

Attorney weistling'a Experience with .
Philadelphfa Newspaper Interviewer.
AR. Joshua NJ Wrestling. the attorney Of
this city who returned q few days ago with
his family from an extended visit to their
old home in Pennsylvania, was seen at the
Rainier last night by . Posr-IsrELLTGEScKR
reporter. and asked to give few incidents
Of his trip. Mr.. Wrestling said:
when came out here last spring. left my
legal business in such shape at my old home, at
Harrisburg. that IL necessitated my return. l
left here in October, and was kept quite busy,
both 1t Harrisburg and Philadelphia, until my
departure for Seattle. During my stay there
was beseiged By my old friends. and by many I
never met before, for information about Seattle.
1t seems - Il the entire population were coming
ont here OF course answered ell their ques-
lions as best could, aud probably gave them .
great deal 81 useful information. One day
while 1t Philadelphia. reporter Of the PhilA-
delphia Press called q my hotel and inter.
viewed me. The next moruins lengthy arti-
Gle appeared In his paper. that was hFimful Of
to tell Of our great diversity Of resour-
ces. the .beauttful sound countsy and
our perfect harhoE. II also paid considerable ~
tenfion - the Inducements Offered here for
young men u energy. An amusing sequel 10
the article was half column editorial that ap-
pearod IN Harr1eourk paper soon alter. which
endeavored to answer what said In the inter-
view. The editorial said that there were too
many evidences Of the untruthsulncxs of INV
remarks: that cut OF many Harrisburg people
who had gone to the Sound country with money
10 invest, only = few had remained; that the
poor man who went had to stay, because he had
exhausted his resources by making such . long
trip, otherwise he would have returned home.
When returned TO Harrisburg made inquiries
% to the trEthfulness OF the statement, and
found II was entirely without foundation.
found. however. that people are more anxious
than ever TO come to Seattle. and look for =
great immigration here when spring opens.
really believe that Eastern people are more
interested ia Seattle than any other city west Of
the Mississippi river. Any person registering at
an Eastern hotel. from Seattle. win soon md
this 10 be true. Newspaper men there tell me
they are continually on the lockout for resi-
dents OF Seattle, and when they meet one,
Always interview him, for there Is more demand
for information about this section Of the coun-
try than sny other.
Mr.. Weistling has returned to Seattle to
make 1t his home. and has associated with
himself his son, Frank B. Wrestling. who
