General Count Bobrikoff, who was
appointed governor general of Finland
in 1899, made himself very unpopular
by his severe measures against the
press of Finland and the stern man
ner in which he followed out the pol
icy of Russia towards the Firms. This
led to serious rioting at Helsingfors in
1902, which was suppressed by the Cos
sacks. The last recorded act of Gen.
Bobrikoff was in March of this year,
when he issued proclamation forbid
ding the people to darken their win
dows at unusual hours" People 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 the war
with Japan.

casion had in their arms two little
girls-sisters-clasped in each others
embrace, and their mother, it was
thought, whose dead hand tightly
clenched the skirt of one of them.
AS far as it was within their power,
the divers searched the wreck from
stem to stern, but there were masses of
broken timbers through which it was
almost impossible to explore, and it
may be that some will find a grave
under those sunken timbers until the
hulk is raised or the waters of the
sound wash away the last trace of the
wreckage.
At this point the water is deep and
the currents are swift, and beyond a
doubt many may have been borne
along with the tides. to be given up
on later day at some distant point
Many Missing Mny Be Safe.
There are a nuNber of places where
the living may have landed. and it is
believed that many reported missing
are safe and eventually viii be heard
from by the officials who have the res
cue work in hand. Indeed tonight a
surprising number of persons reported
to these officials that they had been
saved, thus cutting the list of missing
down considerably, as we'll as the prob
able mortality list.
Many persons were injured in the
panic that followed the breaking out
of the flames on the Gen. Slocum, and
at least 200 persons were taken to the
hospitals. Not death has occurred so
far among these. and many of them
have already been discharged.
VaIuabIes Taken from Bodies.
Although many of the bodies taken
to the morgue were very badly mutt
lated, and the clothing in many cases
| almost entirely burned off, valuables
have been taken from them, and are
in the keeping of the city officials tc
the extent of 100000 or more. Sew
eral of the men and women had the
savings of life time on them, when
they persisted. Much jewelry, it is
reported to the police, has been lost,
but an explanation may be found in

New York, June 16.-With increasing
effort search is going on for the bodies
of those who perished yesterday on the
General Slocum. What the list of
victims will total scarce one dare ven-
ture a guess, but whatever the num-
ber may be, there is hardly parallel
in the history of disasters where death
came to so many in so brief a period
of time Police and health department
officials have placed the number at d
figure as high as 1000 or more, but to-
night it would seem that the maximum
of fatalities will not largely exceed
700.
All day long, from sunrise until dark
ness shut off even the melancholy sat
isfaction of watching for the dead,
anxious searchers kept up their eternal
vigilance, and at dusk there had been
recovered 536 bodies, for the greater
part women and children-mothers who
weeks ago had planned that fatal out
ing for their children; little ones who

Up to dusk, 499 bodies had passed
through the morgue. and of these more
than 300 were identified. The East
Side has its human sympathies aroused

river. where the boats unloaded their
dead, thousands gathered throughout
the day. Streets leading to the NOR
que were blocked and only with diff
ficulty could the police keep clear the
passages leading to the long rows of
coffins for those who came to search
for the missing.
Graphing for Victims.
Up the sound, where the hulk of the
General Slocum lies submerged, show
ing only paddle box, scores of small
craft aided the tugs in graphing for
the victims. Divers went down time
and time again and when their work
ended for the day they declared there
were no more bodies in the wreck.
A score of times a diver reappeared
after his plunge, with the body of a
woman or a child. Two of them COM

followed by the advance of the Japa-

Lung CHA Tung to Yu Hotun. Dark
ness put an end to the fighting. The
Japanese dispatched a column to the
