ConstantinOple. May 1.-THE Greco
Turkish news received does not change
the situation. Everything is waiting
on the porte'S action. There is no con-
firmation of the report printed by the
Journal Of Paris that an armistice has
been arranged, but the silence from
the seat of wal seems To indicate that
Edhcm PaSha's advance on DomOkOs
may have bee cOuntermauded. The
sultan's position is Il little stronger
than King Georges. and, therefore, ii
Is not surprising that, while the war
feeling is so strong. he hesitateS at TAX
ing a step which could be construed at
COnStantinople as Il surrender IF OF
tOman interests. In addition to this,
the fact that the feast of Bairaln be-
gins to-day, lasting until Sunday, offers
another excuse for delay.
London. May IA dispatch from
DOmokOs dated Wednesday reports the
increased activity Of the foreign legion,
which has been ordered to proceed 10
the left flank of the Greek army near
Lake Tynias. This is regarded rs an
indication of the point of danger.

The barbecue on Maple island was
a success In every way. The weather
was bad nearly all day, but cleared
up before 4 O'Clock, the time set for
beginning the festivities, and large
crowd wss In attendance. The
edibles prepared under the direction
OF Head Chef Congrove were
delicious, including roast pork and
mutton, made into sandwiches.
Everyone present ate with q relish
the different edibles. Liquid refresh
ments as we'll as the food were also
free, and firemen, delegates and citi-
zens generally ate, drank and spent
an enjoyable time. The refresh.

A GROWING SETTLEMENT.
A Swedish Lutheran Church
Under Construction IN the
Darling Settlement.

During the last few years, and
mainly through the efforts Of the A.
f. johnson company, Il large num-
ber Of Swedes have settled ON farms
In almost every township OF Morri-
son county. but especially and
principally in Randall town. Com
nlrncing about five years ago, with
John and Charles RegneIl and John
Tellander. the pioneers amongst the
Swedish settlers in This town, Il
welcome influx oi experienced, hard
working and thrifty Swedes has
continued until now their number on
the fertile shores of the beautiful
Little Elk river has nearly reached
the hundred mark. OF this number,
however, some are Lutherans, some
Baptists. some Melhodists and some
Mission friends, and for this reason
it has been ditiicule,ior any one de-
nom:na tion tostscurs, enough lnem-
hers and build Il suitable church. q
The LutlIerails, belonging to the
Augustana Synod, being the most
numerous have now at last sue
ceeded in raising means to secure
five acres Of land and begun the
erection OF a church 26X36 in size.
The selection Of the site in the north
east corner Of section "a, on Il hill
overlooking the valley, and within u
stones throw OF the river could not
have been improved upon, being as
picturesque as convenient. The
construction under the supervision
OF Herm johnson, and with the as
sistance Of all the mechanics in the
settlement, no matter OF what
denomination, is being pushed
rapidly. and the outside work will
he completed before haying COM
mences, but through lack Of means
for ma aterial, and having tho charac-
teristlc disinclination of going into
debt, the members do not expect to
have the church completed for some
time.
A snail amount Of money has been
donated in this city, and while any
assistance would he welcome there is
no doubt tut that the sume sturdy
qualities that enabled the men
with only two empty hands
to turn the hardwood timber lands
into fertile fields, to clear the
meadows for the mower and to build
homes and outbuiltlings as we see
them in this settlement, will enable
them to bring their present under
taking to q successful and creditablc
end.

tion. The report was adopted.
An effort was made to suspend th'
provisions of the constitution. to en-
able the convention to elect Black
but the president held the motion
out Of order.
F. B. Stuart was then duly elected
al an honorary luember OF the state
association.
SOme minor business was then
transacted, and then came the elec.
tion Of officers.
H. M. Young, Oi Chaska, was frat
vice president. ami was In line for
promotion to the presidency. but as
he had removed from Chaska, that
department presented the name of
John HOehn for president, and he
was elected unanimously.
Second Vice President Thomas Du-
gan, Of Austin, was elected first vice
president without opposition.
These two elections determined
that the convention Of 1898 will be
held at Chaska, and that vi 1890 at
Austin, II the usual custom IL fol-
lowed neat year Of promotion. The
president each year culls the conven-
tiOn at his home city, and promo
tiOns have always been made In line
from second vice president.
The contest for second vice presi-
dent IL always the interesting one,
and when that was In order the
names of p. II. Fennel, Of Winonn.
and b. Moritz. of MelrOse, were
presented.
The vote by ballot resulted in the
selection Of Fennel by very close
vote, so the convention for 1900 will
go to WinOnh.
A Winona delegate made Il short
speech, In which he thanked the con-
ventiOn, and assured the delegates a
pleasant time when they should
come to Winona.

secretary.ship-wit the usual

an opinion that some young man Le
selected. and hoped for an improve
ment in the service. He named
''young'' Il. O. Strong, OF st. Paul.
Others wanted "Old" r. @. Strong,
and there was much discussion as TO
whether Strong was a ''colt" or ''Old
stager." The delegates all wanted
the same mun, but they differed In
their description. He was elected.
Frank 3. Joy, OF Saltwater, was
reelected us treasurer, and .. L..
Cutter given another term as
statistician.
The executive committee offered a
resolution favOrIng the increase OF
the secretary's salary from $500 to
500 a year.
President Hoehn was then called
to the chair. and after thanking the
convention for his election, ne as

extended a firemenB welcome to the
delegates and visiting firemen. He
assured the visitors that the people
and firemen of the city were very
anxious to entertain them SO as to
make the visit pleasant to all con-

to the city and it's contents, and If
they saw anything they wanted,
they were expected to take It.. II
they desired anything that was not

AsToRIA's RAILROAD.

We have been requested by a resident
OF Fort Adams. Newport. R. l.. to give
some information IN regard to the prog
ress Of the Astoria railroad As the road
is about to be finished this is an oppor-
tune time to give short review Of the
work being done and the result to be
accomplished by It's completion in the
near future
More than month ago the end was
in sight. Before now the grade work
would have been completed had not ex-
centionally heavy storms materially in
terfered. AS it is today little more than
one mile Of grading remains to be done.
The work of rail laying is well in hand,
and the engineers are confident that bar
ring any further accidents in the way
Of unusual storms, the last spike will he
driven early in the coming month Con-
struction trains are busy hauling sand
and gravel for the ballasting Of mat por-
ton Of the road already finished. I, is
certainty that sixty or ninety days will
see the line in operation. For these many
years Astorians have dreamed Of the
event now about to be accomplished
Everybody knows that the road is being
constructed on the most modern prin-
ciples with a solid roadbed, finest cedal
piling, steel bridges, stone culverts. and
75-pound English steel rails The line was
surveyed with a view to its carrying the
greatest possible tonnage per locomotive
power. The curves are easy and there
are no grades to speak Of on the entire
line between Astoria and Portland f.
beng a water Level. This means that the
builders Of this road expect to handle an
extraordinarily heavy traffic; it means
that soon the little Columbia river line
Will be the outlet TO tide water Of the com. |
merce Of ham dozen trauscontinental |
railroads; it means that A. b. Hammond. |.
the man who had brains enough to carry
out the original IDEAS Of the Union Pa
cihc railway has been seconded by As.
toria business men An their long cher
ished project Of developing their harbor.
which is second to none in the world
It means tlItbt the dreams Of John Jacob
Astor are to be realized more than one
hundred fold; It means that Astoria in
