The Strained Relations Between Finland
J. G. Holland.

The Strained Relations Between Finland
and Russia.
At present. as everybody knows, these
are almost the worst possible. Twice
within the last few months have seen
a capital where every woman was in
black. One was London. where the
people were mourning their dead queen;
the other was Helsingfors, where people
mourned their lost liberty. Every wo-
man in Helsingfors bore the black SYM
bols OF personal woe. But personal pro-
test went much farther than this.
When General Bobrikoff, the Russian
encouragement, who was sent to carry
out the new regime, took his walks
abroad, every Finn who saw him COM
ing. crossed to the other side Of the
street. When he patronized concert
for some charitable purpose, the Firms
bought all the tickets, but not a single
one Of them attended. The hotels re-
fused apartments to one OF the Finnish
senators who supported the Russian
proposals. BY the indiscretion OF port
or he secured rooms at one Of the prin.
cipal hotels and refused to leave.
Therefore the hotel was boycotted and
it is temporarily ruined. The Russian
intending to make the Rus
sian language compulsory in all govern
ment departments, invited several young
Finnish functionaries to st. Petersburg,
to learn Russian under very advantage
GUS conditions and with every prospect
Of official promotion. When the lang.
uage ordinance was published and these
Firms saw why they were desired to
learn Russian, they Immediately re-
signed. The Russians took charge of
the postal system Of Finland and abol-
ished the Finnish stamps Thereupon
the inns issued mourning stamp"
all black except the red arms OF Finland
and the name OF the country in Finnish
and Swedish, and stuck II beside the
Russian stamps on their letters. The
Russians retorted by strictly forbidding
ts sale and destroying all letters which
bore it. Now it is one OF the curiosities

THE DAYS DEMAND.

God give US men!
A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts,
true faith and willing hands
Men whom the lust for
office docs not kill;
Men whom the spoils
Of office cannot buy;
Men who possess
opinions and a will;
Men who have honor;
men who will not lie;
Men who can stand
before a demagogus
And damn his treacherous
batteries without winking;
Tall men, sun crowned,
who live above the fog
In public duty
and in private thinking,
For while the rabble
with their thumbworn cresds
Their large professions
and their little deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife,

Wrong rules the land,
and waiting justice sleeps.

To be sure it was now the "Picksnin-

afar on the Maccabebe road. Four or
five other small natives hung about the

The really remarkable thing, however,
about this young Filipino, was his Pu-
ritan idea of duty. How the principles
Of John Knox ever sprouted in that
black soil, let Him who made US answer.
But certain it is that to Pick everything
that is "malo" is forbidden. When the
boys taught him choice scraps Of Ameri-

"Pickaninny captain" for enlightenment.

Once when the captain went on long

the guard who kept the station whiled

that the words were not "malo," and

THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Actual Effect of the Measure Now
Pending In Congress.

Pending In Congress.
The report Of the minority of the
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries thus exposes the actual eff
fects of the ship subsidy bill which
Senator Hanna and his friends in the
International Navigation company are
making such strenuous efforts to get
through the present congress-:
A careful examination of the terms
of the bill and of the conditions of
shipbuilding and shipowning, as stated
by the commissioner of navigation,
has convinced us that the real effect
of this bill will not be to encourage
the building of ships which would
not otherwise be built or to in
crease trade but to further increase
the profits of the already prosper
GUS lines which without subsidy have
been built or contracted for the very
ships to subsidize which this bill is
framed.
Mr.. Griscom in House Hearings,
pages "a and %, explained as to ships
which would be specially favored:
81 should say offhand that the IA
knot ship of the largest possible size,
that would carry about 10000 tons,
would be the ship that under that
Subsidy bill would get the best COM
pensation-that is, IA knots Is about
the speed that we think is economical
speed to do the business, especially on
the Pacific and also on the Atlantic.
We have ships building Of between
1900 and 1900 (tons) and Of moder-
ate speed. A great many are building
in Great Britain now which will carry
10000 tons Of cargo and not measure
10000 Registered tonnage).
"Of such ships there are compare
lively few in the world today. 1t is
only recently that they have been
built at all. In 1898, the greatest year
for shipbuilding of which we have
read in the worlds history, but six
in all were turned out-four in Great
Britain and two in Germany. But on
Sept. 80, 1899, there were then building
of such vessels 16 in Great Britain and
several in Germany, largely for subsidy
promised by THIS Dill.
AS most Of these ships were being
constructed under contracts made IN
1897 and 1898 and for the lines repre-
scented on the committee which drew
the original subsidy bill and sent it tc
congress in 1898, 1t only remains to be
stated that, as Senator Frye has ex
planned SENATE hearings, p. p, it was
in 1897 that the coterie behind this bill
was formed. Having originally plan
ned to let in only foreign ships con
tracted for abroad Jan. 1, 1899, they
Immediately proceeded to place theil
contracts.
The date was not changed to Jan. 1
1900, until it was too late for those out
side of this coterie to secure contracts
on that date.
We see no reason why only a favored
few should be permitted to bring II
foreign ships and get subsidy upoI
them and believe that the date SHOULD
be set ahead, 80 that all will have Al
equal opportunity to take advantage O
our country's generosity.

Captain Hart Suicides.

Baker City, Ore, Feb. lS.-Colonel w.
Thomas Hart, while passenger on the
Boise train coming into Huntington, stood
on the rear platform OF the train as ii was
crossing the bridge over the Snake river
and jumped overheard before he could be
detained by those who saw him.
Before leaving Huntington he wrote a
letter to the proprietor of the hotel at
Weiser, where he had been stopping tell
ing him not to expect him home as he in
tended to commit suicide and requesting
him to take care of his effects.
Colonel Hart was a resident of this city
in 1898 and 1899, and was widely known
as a railroad and mining engineer. He
was 6S years old and a native Of Savan-
nah, Ca, where he has sister. No rea-
son is known for the suicide. A searching
party will drag the Snake river tomorrow
Colonel William I. Hart, who commit
ted suicide by jumping from train into
the Snake river, was formerly connected
with the bimetallic properties at Philips
burg, Mont. Recently he had been inter
ested in the Seven Devils camp and had
been promoting railway to run into that
section. He was an ex-confederate colonel
