Mennonites Consider Emigration to America After Russian Law Repeal

The law of Russia exempting Mennonites from military duty having been repealed, they propose to emigrate in a body from that country. They are looking to the United States; and the prospect now is that they will settle along the line of the Northern Pacific R. R., in Minnesota and Dacotah.
