BobrIkORs Killing Expected.

ST. PETERSBURG. June 22.-Little
surprise was Occasioned in official cir
cles here by the news of the assassina-
ton OF Nicolas Ivanovitch Bobrikoff.
Governor General of Finland. The re-
lentless measures which he adopted TO
crush out every vestige of liberty
among the Fins arrayed against him
every instinct Of patriotism of that
sorely oppressed people. and it was felt
that II was only a question of time
when one would arise to rid his coun-
trynen OF their tyrant.
Bobrikon was chief of staff Of the

veIy sworn on their succession to

lively sworn on their succession to
observe.
Bobrikof enforced this programme
with ruthless severity and seemed to
delight in the opportunities offered
him to show his aversion and contempt
for the dearest traditions and senti-
ments of the people whom he had
been sent to rule. Wholesale DEGREES
of exile and deportation to the interior
of Russia were issued against the most
distinguished leaders of Finnish opin-
ion. All the leading newspapers were
suppressed. Education, except of the
most rudimentary sort, was practi-
cally forbidden. The Polytechnicum
in Helsingfors. the only technical in
stitute in Finland, was closed. All
meetings of students were stopped. A
Count was exiled because his wife, who
had the misfortune to be an excellent
singer, gave concerts in aid of Finnish
schools. Protests proved worse than
useless. They were invariably follow
ed by still more ruthless acts of op-
preston.
Some of the leading jurists of Eu-
rope Joined in an address to the Car
protesting against the hagrant VIOLA
tions of Finland's constitutional
rights. The Cars acknowledgment
Of it took the form of a decree invest
ing Bobrikoff with despotic powers
and empowering him on his own re-
sponsibility to take whatever steps he
might deem necessary in the event of
the measures adopted by the Finnish
authorities proving insufficient. He
made full use of his extraordinary
prerOgatives and his iron grip tight
ened upon Finland. He turned the
Senate into Russian police bureau,
in which only the Russian language
was spoken and only his own orders
carried out; he appointed Russians to
all important Offices and overran the
country with Russian spies In the
eyes of the Firms he becme the incar-
nation of the most merciIess form of
Russian tyranny. Deprived of every
legitimate means of obtaining redress
against the tyrant it is small wonder
that his assassin, Herr Schaumann.
should have concluded, as he stated
in a letter found on his body ad-
dressed to the Gar: There is only
one way 10 take in self-defense for
rendering him innocuous. The rem
edy is violent, but 1t is the only way"
In a message to Bobrikoff's widow
the Car has declared that Russia will
ever treasure her husbands memory as
that of a true hero and noble patriot.
but history will pronounce a highly
different verdict upon him. He trans
formed Finland from a loyal province
to one that would welcome any oppor-
tunity to rid itself of the Russia n
yoke. When Nicholas l had to con-
front the united forces of France and
England he intrusted the care of his
capital to the Finnish regiments and
full worthy did they prove of the trust
imposed in them, but Car Nicholas III
would not dare now employ them for
similar purpose. Whatever perils
may beset his empire he must know
that it would be futile to appeal for
the support Of his subjects in Finland,
whose chartered liberties he sent Cen
eral Bobrikoff to tramDle under foot
and against whose laws, traditions and
language he conspired with Nj. de
Plehve and all the forces of reaction.
