THE RUSSIANIzTNG OF FINLAND.

THE RUSSIANIZING OF FINLAND. The Films who openly oppose the Classification of Finland must go, and they are going. The peremptory ex- pulsion of them continues steadily. Among the latest victims are M. K. Brofeldt and M. P. Brofeldt of Kuopio, and M 0. Procope, a barrister, of Tammersfors. The brothers Brofeldt belong to well-known literary fam fly; one of the brothers, writing un- der the nom de plume of Juhani Aho, is among the foremost of Finnish au- thors, and his name is we'll known in Europe. M. K Brofe1dt is business man, but has written several plays, and M. P. Brofeldt, the editor of the Uusi Savo at Kuopio, is the author of a few short novels. They all write in the Finnish language. M. Alexander Sikio, manager of the Nyslott branch of the Northern Bank, has also been served with an order of expulsion. He represented Nyslott in the Fennoman interest in the Finnish Diet. Out of the twelve prominent Finnish citizens so far condemned to exile, seven be- long to this party, which practically disposes of the theory constantly ad- vanced by the Russian press that it is only the Swedish part of the popula- ton who are opposed to the policy of Classification. The ordinance concerning the summary dismissal of officials, which was originally limited to holders of judicial or administrative offices, has been extended to the teaching staff of all educational establishments with the exception of the university. Since last September about seventy-fve off, cials have either been summarily dis missed or obliged to resign. About fifty more resigned voluntarily rather than await the inevitable dismissal.

l Greater New York is great. but Great CT London is much greater The Lon- don county council has issued. through it's statistical officer, a report on the population of the largest city in the world, based on the last census, giving vast amount of really interesting in formation. The London covered by this report is given as "all the Londons," for there are really five Londons that may be distinguished from each other. These include the city proper, the coun- ty, the administrative county, outer London and Greater London. The fig ures refer to this latter city, Greater London, which includes all the others, and which has population of 6,5S1,372. This is greater than the combined pop ulation, according to the last census. of the cities of Paris and New York, and even greater than the combined popu- lation, at the last census, of the three largest cities in the United States. In the ten years covered by the last Lon don census the population has increas- ed just under a million, and more than half of this gain has come in what is classed as the outer ring. The greatest growth is recorded in the east of the city and the smallest in the north.
 Another interesting fact brought out in this report is the increase in the pro- portion of foreigners to the whole popu-
 lation. Fifty years ago, measuring back from the last census year. or in 1851, eleven out of every 1000 persons in London were foreigners. Ten years later, in 1861, the figures had advanced to fifteen, and in 1871 to seventeen. Then came decrease to sixteen in 1881, followed by an advance to twenty two in 1891, while the census for 1901 show ed that thirty out of every 1000 persons in London were foreigners. Conse- quently, since 1861 the proportion of 1OFelSlleIS lO lIlS populdtEOll LdS Ju5L exactly doubled. London has work house population of over 46,O0O while
 if those in hospitals, lunatic asylums and prisons are also included total of 65, 900 is found. Very complete figures of birth and death rates are given, showing that, while from 1851 to 1860 the annual average birth rate per thou- sand of population was 33S, in 1901 it had fallen to twenty-nine, though from 1871 to 1880 the figures had been as high as 95.5. The death rate declined from 2s.Tper 1000 in 1851 to 17.S in 1901, and one decade, 1861 to 1870, as high as 24,4.

prose of sufficient merit to entitle Elmer son to be ranked as great man of let ters? 1t seems as if the time had come for Emerson's countrymen frankly to accept this verdict. Because of de- ficiencies both of style and of substance Emerson does not belong to the small class of the great masters of prose. His style. despite the fact that Nature and many os the essays certain pages of eloquent prose almost equal in power and beauty to noble poetry, was nearly always that of the lecturer or preacher rather than that of the writer. He too frequently lost the note of distinction and was content if he satisfied his far from eXigent audiences. In diction, to be su-e. he was a conscious and con- summate master. and it need scarcely be said that few writers have surpassed him in ability to compose pregnant sentence. But, as it is generally admit ted, and as is shown by his practice of piecing his notes together, he was rare ly able to evolve paragraph, much more whole essay. in a masterly or even in a workmanlike fashion. It may be granted that critics have over emphasized his lack of coherence. that there is more logical unity in his essays than appears on first reading, that English Traits and the later volumes are far from being mere strings of "Or- phic Sayings" but the fact seems to remain that the prose style of Emerson from first to last lacks the firmness, the compass, the precision, the f1exibility. the Individuality. we demand of prose writers whom we denominate masters.- Professor W.

Congressman Tawney of Minnesota has reached the conclusion that the American public school system is seri- ously defective in that not enough at- tention is given to elementary branches This decision has been reached because eight young men selected by him for appointment to West Point or Annapo- lis have been rejected in succession be- cause of inability to pass in elementary English branches, though all were high school graduates and were selected largely because of high standing as students. MT. Tawney is convinced that pupils are being rushed through grammar schools without proper train ing.

There has certainly been something that looks like reform in New York city. In a talk to the members of the City club Police Commissioner Greene mentioned the fact that four inspectors and twenty captains had been ap- pointed since he took office. '"These new captains have come in,' he said, without making a promise or paying a cent for their promotions. They would have paid, at what was considered the current price four or five years ago, up- ward of half 8 million dollars. As no payment was made no captain has any excuse to recoup himself by taking blaokmail.'

An industrial census of Bohemia shows that of its 2,OO6,OOO population 460,327 are engaged in manufactures, and of these 201, ,539 are women. Most of the work is done by hand and at home.

CONSUL is STONED
Americans Are Danger Among
the Frenzied People of
Colombia.

COLON, Nov. 12.-The royal mail
steamer Orinoco arrived today, bring
ing news of Gen. Torres and the Co
lombian troops he took from Colon
after the proclamation of the republic
of Panama On the arrival of Gen.
Torres at Cartagena the news of events
on the isthmus quickly spread and
caused excitement. Gen. Torres and his
officers were threatened with arrest as
traitors, but the threat was not put into
effect. The populace crowded the
streets, crying, Down with the Amer
icans!"
United States Consul Ingersoll, fear
ing violence, remained shut up in the
consulate.
The Barranquilla authorities had in
tended to send 800 Colombian troops
by the Orinoco to Cartagena, but learn
ed that that vessel had debarked Gen.
Torres and his men there and decided
to keep the troops at Barranquilla.
The excitement at Barranquilla in
creased with the spreading of the news
of the secession of the isthmus, which
was supplemented by exaggerated ac-
counts of the alleged part played by
the United StdlGS. uCCicli
ton of independence was read by the
prefect to a crowd in the plaza and
was greeted by furious outcries and
shouts of Death to the Panamans!
and Death to the Americans"
The prefect, in a speech, declared
that the Colombian government would
never permit the secession of the 18TH
mus and would win back the lost ter
ritory at any cost. The crowd INDUCED
in extravagant threats.
United States Vice Consul Lovelace
was sitting on a balcony of his house
at Barranquilla tonight when several
stones were thrown at him. He retired
indoors and was not further molested
by the Colombians.
The people of Barranquilla have been
swept off their balance by the sudden
ness and seriousness of the news. Rev
olutionary talk began Immediately and
threats were made against the con-
gressmen responsible for the non-rati-
fication of the Hay-Herran canal
treaty.
Fears are entertained for the safety
of Americans in Colombia and that the
anger of the populace may be vented
against foreigners generally. The au-
thorities at Savanilla have mounted

AGED LOVERS ELOPE
Man Is Seventy-five and the
Woman Sixty-four.

KENOSHA, Wis, Nov. 12.-That age
is no barrier to romance was demon
strated in Justice McCarron's office last
night, when John McCaughen, seventy
five years old, and Mrs. Elvira Beach,
sixty-four years old, were made man
and wife. The wedding was the climax
of an elopement which the children
and grandchildren of the aged couple
in Chicago had vainly endeavored to
prevent.
County Judge Slosson was closing up
his Office for the day when an old man,
leaning heavily on cane, came in the
Office and requested a rush order to
wed. The judge asked the usual pre-
liminary questions, and was convinced
that the groom was of the proper age
to marry and that there were no pre-
venting circums tanceS.
He started to write out the order,
and asked the old man for the pros
pective brides name. The old man
looked a little daZed, and then turned
to the judge and said:
''Well, 1 have been going with Lottie
for some time, but l don't believe that
I know what her real name is. She
has always been just Lottie TO me, and
you will have to ask her what her name
is herself"
Judge Slosson smiled and told the
old man that it would be Impossible
for him to issue an order without the
name of the lady.
McCaughen shambled out to his car
riage and returned in half an hour
with a radiant smile on his face and
the lady on his arm.
Now. pa" the woman said, my
name isn't IOttie at ALL but Mrs Ell
vira Beach, and 1 am sixty-four years
old and this is my second marriage"
This information was sufficient for
the court and the order was issued.
All the time the old man stood look
ing fondly at his bride-to-be, and as
soon as he secured the precious order
the two went back to their carriage
and drove to the Office of Justice Nc
Carron, where the wedding took place.

GOOD WATER SUPPLY
Artesian Basins in Minnesota
Are Examined.

Special to The Globe
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 12 =
Dr. c. w. Hall, in connection with his
work of investigating the water sup
ply in certain localities in Southwest
ern Minnesota, undertaken in behalf
of the United States geological sur
vey, has found several local artesian
basins of more than ordinary interest.
While none of these basins is large,
they present conditions not looked for
by biologists who are familiar with
this part of the state.
One of these basins lies in Redwood
county, along the foot or so-called
Coteau des Prairies and, so far as ex-
plored for water, comprises only
few square miles The wells are less
than 200 feet deep and have a coupious
flow. The quality of the water is ex-
cellent and it rises from five to thirty
feet above the surface The basin
seems to be due to the existence of one
Or more clay beds within the drift lying
along the sloping northwest side of the
inner Coteau moraine and shutting
off towards the northeast by the push
Ing up Of the morainic wall of the third
and fourth, that is, the Antelope and
Kiester moraines.
Another is a more extensive artesian
area in Central Southern Minnesota,
stretching southwark from Meeker and
Wright counties into Nicollet county,
showing a steady change in the height
to which water rises as the north and
south direction is followed, with varia-
ton in the supply, caused by the
flow of any new wells added to the
number drawn upon. DR.. Hall is pre-
pairing detailed report on this sub
ject for publication by the geological
survey.
