Bobrikon regarded the present situa-
tiOl very auspicuOusly, expressing sat

ly understood the state of affairs and
were nlanifesting correct relations
toward the Russian administration. He
continued:
THE trouble is all with the swedes.

underhand and disEepdtable fashion. In
order to poison the peoples minds
proclamations are showered from
Sweden We seize what we can, but
they form a regular hydra; wherever
one head is chopped off another grows
Ny sympathies are on the side of the
old Firms, who form seven-eighths of
the population. I believe in them. The
majority of the senate is composed of
old Firms. I selected them. I prefer
them to the Swedes, hence the hostil-
ity of the latter. Helsingfors gives me
no rest night or day. The city is a.
hotbed of dissension. 1t seems to boil
automatically because of the hostility
and rivalry between the parties. I re-
peat that rely mostly on the old Films.
The young Firms and the Swedish party
are much the same. The only difference
being that the former are more coward
" than the latter. The Socialist party
of which the young Firms are the heart
and soul, is a cunning time-serYing or
ganization.

quietly. Only a small percentage
proved unsubmissive. The Swedish
proclamations are having little effect,

They Are Carried Down the

the Victims.

Clyde Beaver and Benjamin Morris.
two wOrkmen employed in the recon
struction of the Rock Island railroad
bridge, were drowned at 10 O'Clock this
morning as the result of falling into
the river from a scaffOld on which they
were working.
The men were members Of the pile
driving gang, and were cutting OF the
tops Of a pile with a cross-cut saw
when the swinging scaffold gave way
at one end and they were thrown into
the river. They made no outcry as
they fell, and We're first noticed when
other wOrkmen saw them struggling in
the swift current. Both men kept their
heads above water until they reached
a point opposite the east end Of Otto
Keuhne's preserving works. Here they
sank suddenly, and were close together
at the time. Morris was seen last as
he sank. It is thought that they were
caught by a sunken wire. The foreman
of the gang Immediately telephoned the
police, and a squad of officers went to
the scene to assist in searching for the
bodies. The river is rising and very
swift at the point where the men went
down and the search was difficult 4

are not confirmed The Russian snips
were first sighted off Okino island at

which reported the fact to Vice Admiral
Kamamura at an unknown base who
left in pursuit with his whole squad
ron. At $50 a. m.the same date Vice
Admiral Tsunoda, commanding the

information Of the enenny's appearance
off shore and Immediately dispatched a
hotilla of torpedo boats in chase, but
the wind, rain and fog that prevailed
prevented them from doing effective
work. During the afternoon the storm
increased. Vice Admiral Kamimura
with his squadron is still chasing the
enemy. The fate of the transport

DANGER OF YELLOW PERIL
Pronounced Very Real by a Russias
Newspaper.

St Petersburg, June 1.-THE No
vosti referring to the statement of
Earl Percy, British under foreign sec
retary, that pour parleurs are already
proceeding between Great Britain and
Russia, says:
''This recognition of the necessity
for a mutual understanding is ex-
tremely welcome, especially coming az
it did before the conclusion OF tbs
war with japan. It is true that Great
Britain and Russia already have a
preliminary agreement respecting
Thibet, but that il is secondary to the
possible clash of their immense COM
mercial interests in the far east. The
danger of the yellow peril in the
Orient is very real; but Great Britain
and Russia together Will be able to
settle it. Great Britain has already
shown an understanding of the SUBJ
ject and ability to safeguard the pre-
dominance of the whites by the syss
tenn followed out in India"
