FINLAND.
The order of the czar that $500, 900
shall be appropriated from the Fin
nish treasury for the immediate con-
struction of the railway from Idensal-
mi to Kayana in the hunger stricken
district of northern Finland has an
interesting history. 1t appears that
the Finnish government managed by
close economy to save 100000 for
railway extension. When, however,
the classification of Finland was be-
gun in earnest 100000 was subtract
ed from this amount by Governor
General Bobrikoff, and it was stated
that half of the deducted sum would
be devoted to military purposes and
half to procuring land for the land
less population. This vetoed the be-
ginning of the much needed Kayana
line. 1t is now stated at Helsingfors
that the restoration of $500, 200 to the
railway fund is result of Ambassa-
dor McCormick's inquiry on behalf of
the state department whether Ameri-
can contributions to the Finnish fam
inc relief fund were welcome and how
much aid was needed. 1t is explained
in Helsingfors that the ambassadors
inquiry was transmitted by the Rus
sian government to the Finnish cap
ital with orders to delay the answer
until the appropriation of 100000 for
the Kayana railway could be ar
ranged and publicly announced. This
railway will not only afford employ
nent to the suffering population of
the north, but will facilitate relief
measures in cases of famine in the
ural resources of the country.
All Finlan0 appears to be feting and
heaping honors upon the four govern
ors that have been dismissed for
treating the Russian military edict as
illegal. The Novoe Vremya reports,
with indignation, a number of ban
Duets in their honor and declares that
various addresses and messages of
sympathy have been received by the
retiring officials.
