REIGN OF TERROR EXPECTED
Murder of Finnish Official Expected to
Create Sensation IN ST. Petersburg.

Murder Of Finnish Official Expected to
Create Sensation In ST. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg. Feb. THE news
of the assassination Of Soisalon SOini-
men. prOcuratOr general of Finland,
was not generally known in st. Peters
burg last night. but may be expected
TO produce an immense sensation when
It becomes public, as it will be re-
garded as the precursor of an era OF
terrorism for which the events of Jan
nary in st. Petersburg and throughout
Russia gave the signal. Until the iden-
tity of the assassin is definitely known
II will be impossible. of course, to es-
tablish the motive OF the attempt; but
the present circumstances in Finland
render il almost certain that the crime
Is of a purely political character and
of the same nature as the assassina-
ton of Count BobrikOff, the governor
general of Finland, in June Of last
year.
The classification Of the province Of
Finland has been meeting with great
opposition and creating much bitter.
ness, especially since the formation of
the party of active resistance, which
was recruited from the holder spirits
OF the original party of passive resist
ance. and to which the perpetratOr of
this latest crime probably belonged
Little is known here regarding the
murdered official; but as prOcurator
general he was the adviser of the Fin
nish senate, which incurred the en-
nifty of the anti-Russian parties on &C
count of its alleged subserviency to
the process of classification; and Sol
ninen undoubtedly was selected as the
representative and responsible victim.

Kuronatkln Not To Retire.

st. Petersburg, Feb. THE AssOci-

that not the slightest information has
been received at the war Office regard

of General Kuropatkin. On the con-
.rary, the war Offices information indi-
Gates no change whatever in the head
quarters staff in Manchuria. and that
the departure of Generel Gripenberg
for st. Petersburg is due to Illness.
The version of the departure Of Gen
eral Gripenberg now given in the best
informed unofficial circles is that the
general left the front because he ex-
ceeded General Kuropatkin's orders in
pushing beyond Sandepas and need
lessly sacrificed thousands Of men.
This led Kuropatkin to demand Grip

POISON FOUND IN HocH'S ROOM
Officers Find Stylogrsphic Pen With
Reservoir Filled With White Powder.


New York, Feb when Johann
Hoch was arraigned in court in the
expectation that he would be turned
over TO officers from Chicago 1t was
found that the extradition papers had
not yet arrived, and he was remanded
to police headquarters.
Detective Foye explained that the
papers had been in Albany since Fri
day awaiting the signature of Cover
nor Higgins but that the governor had
left for New York without signing
them. It is expected that the papers
will be received tomorrow, and that
the prisoner will probably start for
Chicago on that day.
Additional charges were made
against Hoch of having married three
women in New York. 1t was also
learned that in search OF the room oc-
cupied by Hoch when he was arrested
there was found stylographic pen,
the reservoir OF which was filled with
a white powder. believed to be poison.
The pen. with the rest OF Hoch's ef-
fects. was turned over to Detective
Lotus, of Chicago.

Havana, Feb. THE members OF
the cabinet having insisted upon re-

that he would accept the designations,
to take effect upon the installation Of
their successors. 1t has long been gen.
orally known that some Of the MEM
bers Of the cabinet were not alto
gether satisfactory to President Palma,
and the leaders OF the Moderate party
and others, including some cabinet
members themselves, have urged Pres
ident Palma to utilize the opportunity
offered by the tender on the resigna-
tions on February to accept all, re-
appointing those who are entirely ac-
ceptable, politically and otherwise.
The members OF the cabinet receiv-
ed a communication from President
Palma, saying in effect that he saw
no reason for accepting their resigna-
tions. The members Of the cabinet
met later. and, after a discussion. dep
utized Secretary of the Treasury

they insisted upon resigning. This
finally resulted in the understanding

MAYOR JOHNSON TO
ASSIST SUICIDES
If They DO Not Succeed in Beat
ing Him to it.
Invites All In Trouble 60 Commune
cate With Him at Once.
WILL HELP ALL HE CAN

Chicago, Nov. ia special from
Cleveland to the Tribune says:
Mayor Tom Johnson, alarmed at
the official report that there have
been eighty-six suicides in Cleveland
in the last nine months, has taken
steps to check the carnival of self
destruction. He has appointed com
mission, whose duty it will be to at
tempt to dissuade would-be suicides
from taking their own lives. -
\ The commission is made up of Di-
rector of Charities Cooley, w. A.
GreeG lund, a member of the charity
bureau, and State Senator-elsct F. C.
Howe.
Every manor woman in Cleveland
who is contemplating suicide is in
vited to write Sstter to the anti
suicide commission Nsnd tell their
troubl-s. The members of the COM
mission will then make az effort to
remove the trouble. PA
For people respondent from non-
employment the commission endeAS-
ors to obtain employment. while the
needs and wants of others seeking
aid are looked after. All three men
are experienced in such work, and
their labors so far have proved salts
factory.
In disposing the subject further
Mr.. Cooley said:
!. "The number of suicides and at
tempted suicides in Cleveland is APP
palling. The need of some means to
counterfeit the condition has been
felt, and We have expressed our will
ingness to aid anyone who is in the
depths of despair and to whom life
no longer seems worth living.
How many suicides would be pre-
vented if the sick. poor and despond-
ent had friends to go to. a place to
get relief?
Of the eighty-six suicides in the
first nine months of this year the one
word 'despondency, is the key word
of all.
Hard drinking. lack of work,
sickness. domestic trouble lead men
to suicide. Sickness, domestic trou-
BILE, lives of shame drive women to
suicide. The records show that the
latter cause is more frequent in the
case of women.
Women usually choose to end
their lives with carbohc acid; men
with pistols or knives. or the eighty
six suicides sixty-three were men
and twenty-three women. Most of
these were tired of life, and had one
of our commission been able to see
them ! am sure they would be living
today.
''In nearly every case the kind
word of friend or helper will pre-
v,nt self-destruction. And we are

to all disheartened people,"
