LAwLEssNEss IN ICELAND.
Americans Abuse the Hospitality of TIL
Land without Jails.

Americans ADuSe the uOepItai1Ly OF Ji1e
Land without Jails.
Boston, Oct. ia sad tale of outrage
and rapine comes from Iceland, where the
simple-hearted natives, following the virtu-
ous precepts of their ancestors, know aught
of iails and police. This lack of so-called
civilization has been taken advantage
of by sailors visiting the isle, which,
disgraeeful to relate, are mostly Amer
lean. Some faint report of the recent
goings on in Iceland have reached here,
especially some of the acts brought out by
the arrest of the crew recently OF the
schooner T. d. Winchester in these waters.
A letter Just received here by the fishing
companies from Consular Agent II. c. Cram,
begging that the companies take some ac-
tive measures looking to the better control
of their crews while in Iceland's waters,
gives the first official information of the real
state of affairs there. Says he:
"The situation is desperate, and, if not at
once remedied, will lead to the interference
of the Danish Government and result in the
expulsion of Americans from the island. As
it is the people have appealed to the King.
During the past season, when the hallbut
industry took big increase, these waters
have Deen infested DV new Eng
land fishing crafts, the crews of which
have been of the most brutal and dis
reputable character. Not only have the
lives of some of the captains been in jeop-
ardy, but the case of the inhabitants on
the shore has been worse, as gangs OF lntox-
icated American fishermen roamed over the
island insulting the people, outraging the
women, stormed at night the homes OF
peaceful cottagers, and, beating in their win
dows and doors, dragged the inmates from
their beds and maltreated and robbed them.
There are no jails and police, so the men go
unpunished. The sailors have, on threats
of murder, compelled several captains to
sail for home half loaded because the men
we're tired of the trip. The federal author
titles will at once investigate. The ship
owners blame the Seamen's Union as being
the cause of the growing lawlessness.
