private message from Helsngfors
says Governor Bobrikoff was taken to
a hospital at Helsingfors.
Schaumann was a lawyer by pro-
fession and an official of the Depart
ment of Education.
General Count Bobrikoff. who was
appointed governor general of Fin
land in 1899 made himself very un-
popular by his severe measures
against the press Of Finland and the
stern manner in which he followed
out the policy of Russia towards the
Firms. This led to serious rioting at
Helsingfors in 1902. which was sup
pressed by the Cossacks. The last re-
corded act of General Bobrikoff. was
in March Of this year, when he issued
a proclamation forbidding the people
to darken their windows at unusual
hours" People who chose to go to
bed before ten o'clock at night were
subject to heavy fines. This step was
due to the neglect of the Films to IL
Illuminate their houses in honor of the
beginning of the war with Japan.
