Helsingfors. Finland. June 2s.-The
Finnish senate Sunday issued the fol-
lowing manifesto:
THE senate. assembled for the first
time since the death of its president,
Governor General Bobrikoff. feels the
need of expressing deep Indignation at
the detestable and revolving crime.
which is without parallel In the an
nails of the country of which the gov

well disposed inhabitants emphati-
cally pronounce their censure of this

The senate desires to make clear to
the Finnish people what deeply sa!
consequences the agitation of evil dis
posed and misguided persons who have
urged disobeditnce Of the authorities.
has already brought about and what
dangers threaten the country If this
agitation shall continue unresisted.
THE senate directs an earnest ap-
peal to all right minded inhabitants to
CO Operate for the restoration of quiet
and order in the country, and to en-
deavor, each one, to Justify the conf
century of inGissoluble union with the
powerful Russian empire has had the

to place upon the Finnish people
the responsibility of the assassination
of Governor General Bobrikoff by
Eugene Schaumann. The minister be-
lfeves that the crisis in the relations
of Finland and Russian has been pass
ed, and that the grand duchy will re-
cognize that it's interests and those of
Russia mutually demand closer ties. /.
1t is as far from Russias wish as it
would be contrary to her interests, the
minister says, to destroy Finland,
which has history and traditions of
it's own. All that Russia wants is the
recognition by Finland of Russia's su
premacy.
The new governor general has not
yet been named by the emperor. but
when he assumes his post it will be his
first duty to consider the situation and
to consider as to the advisability of
,reassembling the diet.
There Is reason to believe that Min
lister Plehve Is considering further
measures, but their character has not
yet been developed.

BIG FIGHT IN MINNESOTA.

A Three Cornered Contest For the RE.
publican Nomination For Governor.
st. Paul, June 2S.-Hottest precon-
yention guberinatorial fight in the his
tory of the republican party in Minne-
sofa had its elimination today in the
holding of conventions in each county
for the selection of delegates to the
state convention on Thursday. Pre-
liminary caucuses have been going on
since last Friday and each candidate
is claiming a majority delegates to be
chosen today. Candidates for the
nomination are Robt. c. Dunn, former
state auditor. Judge Loren w. Collins,
who resigned seat in the supreme court
to enter the race and former Congress-
man Frank NJ. Eddy. The principal
fight has been between Dun and Collins
and their partisans have been extreme
ly bitter. The most conservative esti-
mates give Dunn a slight lead in the
districts outside the large cities. There
is likelyhood of large number of con-
testing delegates, as there have been
bolting conventions in several counties.

Such Manner as to Prevent
Ascension at Present
vANDAL's MOTIVES UNKNOWN.
viii Take Two Weeks to Repair and

Program Mapped Out For the Fourth
Of July-No Clue to the Perpetrators

st. Louis. June 2S.-Some time DUR
ing last night the gasbag OF the Santos
Dumont airship was cut and slashed in
such a manner as to preclude all possi-
bility Of it's being repaired in time toSeI-
low an ascension on July 4. The work
was apparently done with a jack knife.
1t will take at least two weeks to re-
pair the damage.
The big gasbag had not yet been
taken from the crate in which it came
from Paris. The cover had been re-
moved by the customs Inspector and
the crate rolled into a shed to prepare
for the airship. Being Of adhesive ma 4
terial the bag hung in folds from Stats
nailed near the top OF the crate, and in
this way was prevented from becoming
solid mass because Of its own weight.
There were several folds Of the bag
over each slat, and the yandals drew a
knife across these, cutting thru from
two to four thickneSses of the material
with each slash. The work was evil
IDENTIFY done in haste, as there We're
about dozen Stats covered with the
folds OF the bag and only four or FIVE
of them were cut Mr.. Dumont could
think of no reason why anyone should
destroy his airship. and attributed Its
mutilation to pure vandalism.

TARIFF THE MAIN ISSUE.
Former President Cleveland Talk.
Some Politics.


Princeton N. j., June 2S.--Ex- -Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland Monday dis
cussed some Of the political topics that
have a personal bearing upon the COM
ing national election In an interview
had with him at his home here.
Mr.. Cleveland expressed the opinion
that the question Of tariff adjustment
must certainly occupy a large place in
the canvass. He criticised the vague
ness Of the republican promises as to
the political future of the Philippines,
and characterized Elihu Roots speech
at the Chicago convention as IN ex-
ceedingly .adroit' instrument. He cons
firmed the approval already expressed
by him of Parker and Dlney as aspir-
ants to the presidency, but he took es
pecial pains to disclaim any idea. OF In
fluencing the choice OF the democratic
national convention or any thought that
his influence could avail in that par
ticular.
To the question bluntly put ot him:
III the democratic national convention
again nominates you for the presiden-
cy would you accept?" His first reply
was a pantomime. He vigorously shook
his head and lifted his hand deprecat-
ingly. Then he exclaimed, with rapid
utterance:
THAT will not happen: that will not
happen. so there Is no use talking
about it.
II am out of Political affairs" he con-
tinued. II have said it often. so that f.
ought to be well understood"

FeaIty to the Party and Willingness
to Be a Candidate.

Indianapolis. June 2s.-The leaders of
the national prohibition party estimate
that 5000 delegates, alternates and Wis
itors will have arrived tomorrow morn-
ing when the first business session OF
the convention opens.
National Chairman Stewart began
today to take the lead in opposition to
the nomination of Miles. The fight
against Milas is declared to be based
upon his continuing the silence he has
maintained as to his position. The op-
position demands that he declare hiin-
self for the prohibition movement and
announce his willingness to be the par
tvs candidate.
Homer Castle. of Pittsburg, who is
mentioned for second place on the tick
ct, arrived today with the Pennsylvania

RUSSIANS CLAIM CRUELTY.
st. Petersburg Newspapers Say Japan
ese Kill the Russian Wounded.

ST. Petersburg Newspapers Say Japan
ese Kill the Russian Wounded.
st. Petersburg, June 2S.--The Novoe
vremya today. calling attention to the
statement that Don Jaime de Bourbon
was an eyewitness to the killing OF
Russian wounded at Vafangow, de-
clares something must be done quickly
20 prevent the war degenerating into
the senseless brutality which the Jap
anese practices indicate. The paper
urges Russian newspaper correspond
ents in the field to show up the authors
OF this brutaIiry and secure the evi-
dence of eye witnesses and photographs
in order that The Hague convention
may be invoked.
The sudden cessation OF newspaper
dispatches from the seats of war tend
to confirm the belief that both armies
are about to engage. Most military
critics take the view that big battle
is imminent, altho Novoe Nremya'S >
expert thinks pitched battle now is
more attractive to Japanese generals
than to Kuropatkin. saying the latter
does not need precipitancy, as Russian
reinforcements continue TO arrive, but
IL the Japanese want battle they must
hasten. as only fortnight remains be-
fore the rains set in.
All papers consider almost inexpiica-
bic the failure to receive further reports
from Toxic of the sea fight off Port Ar
thur, and are reproducing with great
prominence dispatches from German
papers to the effect that Togo in his
official reports did not claim positively
to have sunk the Russian battieShip or
to have crippled two other vessels.

RESULT in DOUBT
No information by Which the Prob
able Action Of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention Can be Guessed
at-Parker Is Doubtful.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 2S.-With the
democratic national convention only
another seven days away there is ABB
sciUtely no WV of making reasona-
biz accurate prediction on it's outcome.
Although all the state conventions
have been held, no one candidate for
the presidential nomination controls
al ywhere near the necessary two
thirds of the delegates to capture the
nomination.
In round numbers the convention
will have 1000 votes, making 666 2-3
necessary for choice. AS the matter
now stands. the highest number of in
b. Parker of New York, and according
to the best count he has only 270 not
even half enough. OF the remaining
delegates, ATS are uninstructed, 152 are
pledged TO Hearst, 80 to Olney. 26 to
Wall, and to Judge Gray.
Bryan will absolutely control per-
'haps 100 delegates in the convention
among the uninstructed; although he
is friendly to Hearst, the Nebraskan
will not be able to accomplish Hearst's 8
nomination with this number. Hearst
control perhaps 225 votes all told.
counting instructed and uninstructed,
and these with Bryans would make
but 325. or 3l4 less than required for
the nomination. Moreover, Hearsts
strength is more or less uncertain; H.
linois with it's 54 votes is instructed for
Hearst but any flimsy excuse will be
seized upon as a pretext for deserting
to some other candidate Other So
called Hearst states are equally ready
to go to some one else.
Parker In Doubtful Glass.
The hostility of Hearst and Bryan
and the uncertain attitude of Talnmany
puts Parker in the doubtful class, Folk
of Missouri, is too old and untried,
and besides that. he is opposed
many things dear to the democratic
heart Many people whose opinions ar
worth considering insist that Cleveland
must be reckoned with. but the gene
trend of opinion, especially since the
arrival here of couriers from New York
and Washington. Is that GRAY wiz
the leader, and Harmon of Ohio viii
be his running mate.

ham. The officers in charge OF the ne.
gro prevailed on the mob to give up
this intention but only after promising

Situation at Port Arthur.

Chefoo, June 2S.-Letters received
here today from Port Arthur, dated
June %, give no news, but convey an
idea of the conditions prevailing in the
besieged city. One writer says civil
ians. tho knowing something as to what
is occurring. are ignorant OF the prog
ress OF the war. Little information has
leaked out, Most of the non combat
ants have caves in the hills or UNDER
ground cells, where they spend the
nights in safety. The bands play occa-
sionary in parts of the city and prices
of food are slightly higher higher. The
Chinese suffer severely in many ways
as result of the fighting. Food on the
junks provided by the government TO
enable the Chinese to leave Port Ar
thur. Red Cross nurses. in the absence
of regular work, have established eat
ing houses for the needy.
