FINLAND.
The police department of Helsing-
borg is not enjoying the confidence of
the people. On several occasions the
policemen have subjected citizens to
brutal treatment. One of the ugliest
actions laid at the door of the police
is the part which it played
in the street demonstrations last Janu-
AIRY. The department made its tools
distribute literature which was hostile
to the government and melted the peo-
pie to public demonstrations. It was
a police commissioner who encouraged
the mob to break the windows of the
Offices of the Uusi Suometar. The &C.
counts Of the department are highly
defective and throw an unfavora BILE
light on its transactions. The COM
missioners have compelled their SUBJ
ordinates to sign bills for trips which
were never made, and many wives,
mothers and sisters of the commission
ers figure as consta bles in service.

den has no wish for union that must
be maintained by force. That would

that bond of fellowship essential to
politi cal partnership; but our dignity
will not permit US to acquiesce meekly
in wanton disruption of the dual agree
ment We are striving to reach a
basis which will guarantee perpetual
amity between the two nations under
conditions profita BILE to both and hui

The government believes it advisab BILE
to conclude such negotiations IN ad-

sible afterwards Sweden has reason
to be proud of the dignified and noble
attitude of the king in the face of the
affront he has suffered. He is utterly
uudeserving of the charge that he at
tempted to subjugate Norway. The
know that his reign has
been marked by concession after con.
cession to their demands for fresh
rights. We are anxious that Ameri-

they will do so, regardless of the cam

has waged throughout the world pre-
paratory to its revolt Wide sections
of our people are smartlng under the
insult to the king and are ready to
avenge their wounded pride on the
battlefield. I am happy to say, how
ever, that the danger of resort TO
arms is remote, except in the event of
a Norwegian attack. which we regard

The Stockholm Singers association
left a concert at Skansen long enough
to make a trip to Rosendal to serc-
made the king. The report that the
singers were going there spread like
wild-6re, and a large multitude gath
