Desertion Of Finland

DESERTION OF FINLAND.

Almost an Entire Nationality Coming to America.

A large party of Finnish emigrants reached Conneaut, O., the other morning. After a short stay at Conneaut, which is a Finnish stronghold, the majority of the party, together with a number of resident Finns, will leave for northern Minnesota, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, where their agents have secured control of a considerable tract of farm land and cabins for the settlers have been built.

The emigrants say that next spring will find Finland practically depopulated. To the past dissatisfaction with the Russian rule is added the total crop failure for the past two years, and as a result the Finns are leaving by the thousand on every American going vessel.
