Mr.. EDITOR: l am happy to
see that at last somebody is think
ing of the stout people in south
western Sweden, as immigrants
for this country.
| beg leave to state that l am a
Norwegian and have lived about
thirty years of my life in part of
Norway, where the principal sup
ply of field laborers is taken just
from the Swedes, mentioned by
Mr.. "T." in the ADVERTISERS for
the 21st Of March, and that [ have
done great deal of work with
those people.
According to my experience all
that Mr.. ct" says about Sweden
and the Swedes is perfectly correct,
so correct that I should take him
for a Swede if he had not erred a
little about the history of Sweden.
The reason why the last imml-
grafton from Scandinavia turned
out to be mistake was, that most
of those people were taken from
two of the largest cities in Norway.
Very few of them were field lab
orers, some of them were half-edu-
Gated mechanics, and the rest with
a few exceptions were nothing but
:street-people. Some of the excep-
tons are still living in this coun-
try and do very we'll. Still if those
immigrants were taken from the
country around the cities there
would not have been many field
laborers between them, as the
population there principally is en-
gagged in the manufactures if not
owners of farm as homestead, and
the supply of field laborers comes
from Sweden.
Those Swedes are very poor on
account of the land being cut up |
into small homesteads, but they |
are just as Mr. ct" describes
them, and the women are field lab
orers as well as the men. For
work as stripping cane one of those
women would do more work than
an Asiatic.
Every spring great fiocks of
those Swedes came to Norway to
earn little money on the farms
where they commonly are paid
about 80 cents day and board
IF they can make so cents and
board themselves on job work, as
digging bitches or breaking new
land, they do we'll.
In the autumn they go back to
join their families and make the
improvements they can on their
homesteads in the winter time.
Those people are never idle.
/ am of the same opinion as Mr..
at" though, that they ought to be
taken right from Sweden and with
their families. Not from America
and not from the Norwegian rail
roads either.

DENVER. CoI., Jan 5.-R. A. South

ance and Industrial Union OF Colorado,
this morning transmitted by order of
the council of the union copy of the
following resolution to President Cleve-
land and J. Sterling Morton, secretary
of agriculture:
..Rcsolved, That we condemn the course
pursued by ]. Sterling Morton, secre-
tary of agriculture, in his ungentle-
manly and unfarmer-like, ignorant and
vicious attack at Chicago on organiza-
tions OF the tillers of the soil, and we
earnestly urge President Cleveland to
displace him with competent man,
who has at least some sympathy with
the agriculturists. The Office he now
holds was created for the farmers at
their demand and inasmuch Us S9 per
cent of all exports of the country are
produced on the farm, we believe the
farmers are entitled to genuine repre-
sentative in this office, ono who is in
sympathy with their interests. !"

town.
Special Dispatch TO the Intclzi1encer
STEUDENvILLE, O., Jam 5.-To-day at
eleven o'clock DR.. Joseph Allan Nc.
Lane, lately of Morgantown. ". Va,
died at the home of his son, DR.. Charles
Fl. McLane, of this city, aged seventy
four years His death removes one OF
the early residents of Morgantown, who
has been associated with the interests
of that town for the past fifty years. He
was born March %, 1920, at Connnells-
Vile, Pa.
When a mere boy he removed with
his parents TO Morgantown, w. Va,
where he attended the schools. He
studied medicine under his father and
completed his course at the age OF
eighteen in Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia. His paternal ancestors
were physicians. His father was the
patentee of DR.. McLane's celebrated
liver pills. He was engaged in the
active practice OF medicine in Morgan
town, and Monongalia county for forty
years. His skill attracted attention
even at an early age and gained for him
all the practice he could possibly attend
to.
Cold followed by an attack of grip
caused his death. He was married to
Mary Lazier, of Morgantown, and it
proved to be happy union, although
she died shortly after the birth Of the
youngest child.
The following children survive: DR..
Charles Fl. McLane and Alan g. Nc
Lane, of this CITY; Mrs. Lizzie D. Zollers,
of Baltimore, Md. and DR.. William L,
McLane, of West Union, w. Va. Mrs
Isaiah Warren, of Wheeling, is the only
member of his family surviving.
DR.. McLane has made his home here
with his son, DR.. Charles 81. McLane,
for the past two years. Politically he
was ataunch Democrat, although he
was n fervent Union man during the
Rebellion. At the time of the raid
of the rebel General Jones it
was the argument of DR.. McLane,
with a committee of Morgantown
citizens that saved the bridge
across the Ionongahela at that point
from destruction DR.. McLane said to
Jones when the latter said he intended
to burn the bridge, and his men were
already kindling the fire and tearing
up the boards, "You had better leave
the bridge to escape back on if you are
attacked and forced to retreat" The
rebel raider thought this good logic and
countermanded the order. Religiously
Dr. McLane was Methodist and very
decided in his convictions. His re-
mains will be taken to Morgantown, by
way of Wheeling, for interment on Sat
urday morning, and services held at
the old home.

VIII BE Defended in the House by MIR.
Rnynor, of 9IaryIand.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. Sit is
understood that Congressman Raynor,
of Maryland, of the committee on for
eign affairs, has received communion
ton from Secretary Gresham, outlining
the policy of the administration in the
Hawaiian matter. Mr.. Raynor declines
positively to give the contents of the
letter or even to admit the receipt of it.
But it is understood among Congress-
men that MIR. Raynor has been in
communication with the President and
state department for some time and that
he has been designated to outline the
policy of the administration on the floor
of the house. Mr.. Raynor will reply to
Mr.. ,Boutelle, of Maine. It's gathered
that he will strongly contend that the
United States government was an act
i've participant in the overthrow of the
queen, that a crime was committed; !;
that the surrender of the queen was to
the United States; that the letters OF
Stevens coupled with the fact that the
letters of Mr.. Blaine to him are missing,
are evidence of a conspiracy originated
years ago and carried into successful ex
ecution as soon as an opportunity arose.

ROME, Jan. 5.-The decree proclaim
ing Sicily in state OF siege is prefaced
by report of ministers to the king,
which says that the depiorable neglect
and growing evils of recent years have
led to a serious situation, requiring ex-
ceptional treatment. The ignorant and
deluded populists, led by individuals
addicted to every kind of crime, have
fomented pilIage, incendiarism, murder
and rapine.
A dispatch has reached Naples from
the correspondence of Neapolitan news
paper at Palermo announcing most
serious riot at Marinoo, eleven mileal
southeast of Palermo, town having
5000 inhabitants. The dispatch says
that body of rioters who were de-
manding the abolition of the Octroi
duties in the manner now familiar
through the disturbances in Sicily, made
an attack upon the town hall, which re-
suited in thirty OF the rioters being
killed and fifty wounded by the troops.

Fasci which wound up in conflict be-

one of the soldiers was wounded by a
peasant, and when this was learned the,
troops fired volley into the crowd OF

Mitchell is very angry over the fact
that several southern newspapers have
accused him OF showing the white
feather in not signing the amended
articles when first presented to him.
The pugilist asserts that he is wildly
anxious to meet Corbett, but as he has
a family he does not propose to violate
the laws OF the state and get himself in
trouble. He further says that he is
sorry now he did sign,. and that if he
had chance he would take his name
from the agreement. He stated posi-
lively that he would sign nothing more.

Causes Anxiety in WnshinGton-If True 1t
Will Precipitate n Tempest
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5.-The
Associated Press cable from Auckland
announcing that Minister Willis had
notified the provisional government to
retire, as the queen had agreed to grant
amnesty, has been an absorbing topic
in congressional circles to-day. Word
came from tho state department to the
foreign affairs committee, but as no
mention was made of the minister's
reported action, the information was
doubted Chairman-AIc Greary. Mr..
Raynor and others of the foreign affairs
COMMITTEES. Mr.. McCreary said it would
give most startling turn to the situa-
ton ii. it proved true.
Representative Hit, the Republican
leader of the foreign affairs committee
said that if Minister Willis had taken
the action reported, it would precipi-
tate a tempest The President had
turned the whole subject over to Con-
gress and yet before Mr.. Willis had
learned of this course he had executed
policy already abandoned. Mr.. Hit
said this would be particularly serious
if the minister's action had led to
bloodshed.
There is intense anxiety in congress
sional circles for further news on the
reported course of the minister and it
led to the circulation of wild and
groundless rumors on the floor of the
house that fighting has begun in the
streets of Honolulu.
The state department is not inclined
to credit the statements as to Minister
Willis actions atHonolulu as contained
in the cable dispatch from Auckland.
Such action, it is said, is totally con-
trary to the instructions sent to Mr..
Willis by the Corwin and received by
him Decemaer IL. That he could have
written to the provisional government,
after he received those instructions, re-
questing that they surrender Office, is
denied with strong emphasis at the
state department., and the expressions
in the Presidents message in this con-
nection are pointed to as refuting the
statement. The setting ahe.lt of such
report in Honolulu is attributed to a
malign purpose to impugn the good
faith of the President.
In the batch OF CORES pondence sent
to Congress on the Hawaiian question
was a letter from Minister Willis
which has not been published. In it
he Gays that the men at the head of the
provisional government are of high
character and that to interfere would be
to involve American interests.

NTxsterious Letter-The Betting.


Mysterious Letter-The Betting.
e JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Jan. $50 cer-
tain are the members Of the Duval Ath-
letic Club that the Corbett-Mitchell
fight will be pulled off in this city that
another gang OF men were to-day. put to
work on the arena, which is now over
half completed. On Monday, the Off
Ecials say, they will issue statement.in
which their plans will be disclosed.
These plans arersaid to be so perfect
that there will be nU way by which the
fight can be prevented. Manager Bow
den recently wired Governor Mitchell
in regard to his position in the matter
of the contest. Yesterday he received
an answer, but denied that it referred
to the subject in question.
This appears to be a bluff, however,
on the part of Mr.. BoWden, and it does
not alter the fact that letter from
Governor Mitchell was received by him.
It was of such an important nature that
a meeting Of the officials Of the club was
Immediately called. The meeting did
not lassiIong, and it was evident that
the news that Manager BoWden COM
municated to his brother officials was
not very bad. The club people are now
more positive than ever that the fight
will take place The betting here SO
far has not been OF 4 very
fast nature. Even money is now
being offered here that Mitchell
will not respond in the twenty-tirst
round Some of this has been taken,
but the general opinion is that the Eng
lish champion will make q long fight.
Sheriff Broward to-day declared that
the club people were mistaken if they
thought that he would stand quietly by
and allow the fight TO occur in Duval
