. -. il, FINLAND. LIZ 81:
Efforts on the part of the Danish
royal family to arrest Russian ty.,
ranny in Finland have come tc
naught, owing to the opposition OF
certain of the czar's advisers. When
the dowager empress of Russia, who
is the sister of Crown Prince Fred.
erik OF Denmark, was visiting the
Danish court recently, the crowd
prince, who is married to Princess
Louise of Sweden and Norway, and
follows the events in Finland with
great grief, requested the dowager
empress to use her influence with
her son, the car, in favor of the
F1nlanders when she should return
10 Russia. Her majesty undertook
to fulfill Prince Frederik's wishes,
but her unpopularity with the in
f1uential members of the cars en-,
tourage resulted in the de,
feat of her purpose and a marked
= GOODNESS between herself and her
son. Advised of the result, Prince
Frederik, who is the favorite uncle
OF the car, wrote an affectionate
message to his majesty, pleading
the cause of the Fins. Nicholas and
Prince Frederik were bosom friends,
and when the car was heir appar-
ent he kept up a long correspond
ence with the Danish crown prince
concerning western culture and So
clal progress. Frederik succeeded
in. making great impression on the
mind of his imperial nephew, and
for some days it seemed as tho his
majesty's attitude on the Finish
question would undergo a change.
At this critical juncture the uncom-
promising adherents of absolutism,
headed by Pobiedonostzeff, procura-
tor general of the holy synod, again
took the field against Finland. Pob-
iedonostzeff warned his majesty
that he was about to commit sin
against Providence. He reminded
the car that according to the Rus.
sian national confession of faith the
greatest blessing to any country
was that it be governed by Russia
and that it's absolute rule was by
divine right. Nicholas was advised
by Pobiedonostzef that to deprive
any part of the empire of this bless
! ing would be wrong and would be
certain to entail disastrous conse
| quences to the dynasty. The pro
| curator prevailed and the car wrote
Prince Frederik a letter full of me
Citation on the divine right o:
kings. Prince Frederik, having
read the czar's epistle, exclaimed
"It's all over, Finland as a nation
will disappear"

wrote to the Frankfurt Klein
Presse: "The cultivated classes O
! Russia are a crowd of coward,
slaves, ready to accept every lie t.
; save their ease and comfort. Thes
| hppocrites, with the name of Go,
on their lips, who preach in Russian
society hatred of the Jews, Armen
ians and Films today heap base ant
cowardly calumnies upon the corpse
of those killed thru their influence
and they shamelessly continue thei
hateful work of poisoning the mine
and feeling of the weak-willed Rus
sian society. Shame upon thei
wicked heads! May the fire of con
science consume their decayet
hearts, covetous only of lackey-lik,
honors and slavishly ubsequious t,
power"
