An Address to the Gar.
An address of thanks from 1,24S Nor
wegian women to the car of Russia
for his efforts in the interest of peace
met with a different fate from that of
the petition of $50, 900 law-abiding Rus

When 500 Finlanders appeared in St..
Petersburg and expressed desire to
present the petition to the car they
were told to go home and see the
proper authorities about it, They
were even made to understand that if
they did not return to Finland at once
and of their own accord, they would
be taken care of by the proper author
tiles, that is to say, they would be
shipped back to Finland as disturbers
of the public peace. But when the ad-
dresss of thanks from those unsophis-
ticated I, 24s Norwegian women reached
St. Petersburg, it was l.>serred to his
excellency, Count MUIR. eff, the min
lister for foreign affairs, and he in turn
presented it to the czar in person. His
majesty was greatly pleased with the
honor thus bestowed upon him, and he
instructed Count Muravieff to return
thanks to the authors of the. address
through the Russian ambassador in
Stockholm. The document finally
made out by the ambassaG' and adj
dressed to Mrs. Dikka A1u.lcr was
worded partly as follows:
Il have the honor to inform you that
his excellency, Count. Muravlen, has
me, according to an order
issued by the emperor, to convey his
majesty's sincere thanks to the ladies
who have signed the peace address to
