Il 1000 ON DEATH ROLL OF
NEW YORK FIRE HORROR
FINNS' GOVERNOR
IS ASSAssINATED
Bobrikoff, Cars Chief Represen-
tative in Russifying Province,
MORALLY Shot.

b st. Petersburg, June 16, 6:16 p. ms
General Bobrikoff, governor general OF
Finland, was shot and mortally
wounded this morning at the entrance
to the Finnish senate at Helsingfors.
y The assassin, a man named Schau-
committed suicide.
Bobrikoff was shot in the stomach
and neck. He is being brought to
st. Petersburg in dying condition.
The attack is ascribed to Finnish
patriotism. Schaumann Is believed to
be q member of what is known as the
Finnish Patriotic society.
General Count Bobrikoff, who was APP
pointed governor general of Finland In
1899, made himself very unpopular by his
severe measures against the press OF Fin
land and the stern manner in which he
followed out the policy of Russia toward
the Films. This led to serious rioting at
sHelsingfors in 1902, which was suppressed
by Cossacks
The last recorded act of General Bobri-
koff was in March, when he issued a proc
lamation forbidding the people to darken
their windows at unusual hours" Peo-
pie who chose to go to bed before 10
o'clock at night were subject to heavy
fines.
This step was due to the neglect of the
Firms to illuminate their houses in honor
| Of the beginning of war with Japan.
| That Governor General Bobrikoff was
permitted to live as long as he did speaks
well for the patience of the Firms, who

RUSSIANS IN A TRAP
Stakelberg Defeated and His Retreat
Out Off by Japs.

st. Petersburg, June 16, 6:10 p. m.
1T Is rumored thruout the city that
General Stakelberg has sustained a
disastrous defeat at Va-fan-gow and
that his retreat Is being cut off.
A special dispatch from Iao-yang
TO the Official Messenger says the bat
tie Of Va-fan-gow ragged the whole Of
yesterday and the Japanese receiving
considerable reinforcements crushed
the Russian left flank and compelled
the Russians to retire northward. No
estimate of the losses Is given and no
mention Is made Of the loss Of Rus
sian guns.
The war office announces that Cen
eral Stackelberg was forced back be-
fore greatly superior numbers and re-
treated to Van-tsia-lin, thirty miles
north of va-fan-gow. The officials
here deny that there was anything In
the nature of rout. The enemy had
over four divisions in action.
The operations leading up to the bat
tie of Va-fan-gow date back to June
IL, when two Japanese divisions, one
commanded by General Nozu, adj
wo line, probably prompted by intel
ligence that the Russians were re-
celVing reinforcements. A SHARP
skirmish took place the night of June
~ at the village Of Oudiaden, five
miles west of the railroad and sever
miles south of Wa-fang-tien. and an,
other skirmish occurred on the
heights near the village of Li-dia
tun. ten miles east of Oudiaden. The
Japanese were repulsed. but the Rus
sian advance posts retired.
On June 10 two Japanese division:
were five miles north of the scene o.
the skirmish, their left wing resting
their right on the valley of the Tas
sa, which flows parallel with the rail
road, falling into the sea ten mile
south Of Pi-tse-wo. s.-..
After a days rest the enemy ad
vanced fifteen miles June IA and at
tackled the left of the Russian post
tion four miles south Of Va-fan-gow
The Russians had the best of tn
first days fight, annihilating a Jap
anese cavalry squadron and takin
some prisoners, altho at nightfall bot
armies retained their positions.
Yesterdays battle extended over
rough country, where artillery wa
very effective. The Russian lines ex
tended between the villages of Ian
chou, near the railroad, and Fa-fan.
The Japanese were between Ta-far
chou and Hun-chou. Stakelberg's re
serves were held at Si-san, a shol
distance from Va-fan-gow station
The Japanese reserves were south {
Ta-fan-chou.
General Nozu's artillery began til
day by Smelling the Russian RICH
while his sharpshooters were bus
with the other wing. Stakelberg we
not certain from whence the main a.
tack would be delivered and sent o,
cavalry to the heights of Lan-chou t
reconnoiter.
Having ascertained that the enem
was not moving in that Quarter, +
attacked the Japanese center and lie
in order to drive the enemy again
the railroad. The Japanese coul
tered by moving up reserves in q
effort to turn the Russian right. Ha
an hour later Stakelberg ordered h
reserves to move from Si-san to r
pei the Japanese thanking tactics,
the meanwhile continuing his attat
on the enemy's left and center. TIL
was the situation when the last a.
vices were received.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington
Washington, June 16.-Exports
from the United States to Canada will
be larger in the fiscal year about to
end than in any preceding year. Re-
ports prepared by the department Of
commerce and labor show for the ten
months for which the figures are al
ready received that exports to Canada
amount to $104, 900, 900, against $685.
100000 in the corresponding months
of 1903, and $S9,000,000 in the same
months of 1902.
Going back to 1897. the year in
which the Canadian reduction in
tariff on imports from the United
Kingdom went into effect, the figures
of our exports to Canada during the
ten months ending with April, 1897,
are 51,903,579, or but one-haf those
of the ten months ending with April,
1904.
The Canadian reduction Of the duty
on imports from the United Kingdom
and certain Of it's colonies began in
per cent. In 1898 this reduction was
increased to rs per cent, and in 1900
to 33 1-3 per cent, and has so con-
tinued up to the present time.
A table showing the total exports
from the United States to Canada,
covering long term OF years, 1ndl-
Gates that there has been more rapid
growth in exports to Canada since
1897 than in any period preceding
that year. For the full fiscal year our
exports to Canada were, in 1874, SAL
100000; in 1884, 100000; in 1894
| $56,00O,O00; in 1897, the year in which
Canadian reduction of duty on i'm
ports from the United Kingdom was
made, $65, 100000, and in 1904, seem
| likely to be nearly $130,000,000.
OF the imports into the United
States from Canada the total for 1874
was, In round terms, s34,o00,000; in
1884, $3S,O0O,0O0; in 1894, $31, 000,-

10000. e..

imports from the United States and

sumption from the United States, ir
1897, $61,649,0 41, and in 1903, $137,.

Russian Warships Sink Transport In
Korean Straits.

Toxic, June Is, 8 p. m.-All doubt
as to the sinking Of the transport
Hitachi and Sado by the Russians has
been removed. Three hundred and
ninety survivors of the Hitachi arrived
at Moi and 153 survivors of the Hado
have arrived at Kokura.
Details of the destruction of the two
transports are not obtainable.
The transport Hino, which has re-
turned to Moji, reports that she en-
countered the Russian Vladivostok
squadron at 1920 a. m. yesterday,
twenty miles west of the island Of
Shire of the Oki group. The trans
ports Hitachi, 6,172 tons, and the
Sado, 6,219 tons, were seen two miles
to the westward The weather was
foggy and the sea was calm. When
the Hino sighted the Russian fleet she
turned, ran and signaled warning
to the Kanazawa and they both took
refuge inside the island Chiyt. Both
signaled danger to the Ibu, which also
escaped.
The Hino saw the Hitachi and Sado
surrounded by Russian vessels.
! 1t is reported that the transports
Hitachi and Sado carried only 1,40C
