Probable North Sea Verdict.

Paris, Feb. 8. - The statement is
made in official circles that proof will
be placed before the North sea inquiry
commission showing that the Baltic
fleet fired upon the private yacht of
the king of Greece, which was proceed
ing from Denmark to France. One of
the foreign members of the commission
is authority for the statement that, ac-
cording to official information, final
decision of the commission will be
such as Ito enable the Russians to
walk out with their heads erect"
1t is believed" the commissioner
added, that the Russians acted in
good faith, but that the continuance
OF their fire for fully nine minutes may
fall heavily in the scales.'

Terror in Finland.

st. Petersburg, Feb. s.-The news
of the assassination of Soissalon Soini-
men. proourator general of Finland,
may be expected reproduce an immense
sensation when it becomes public, as
1t Will be regarded as the precursor of
an era of terrorism Of which the events
of January in st. Petersburg gave the
signal.
Until the indentity of the assassin is
definitely known it will be impossible,
OF course, to establish the motive of
the attempt; but the present oircum-
stances in Finland render it almost Ger
tain that the crime is of the same ma
ture as the assassination of Count Bor-
ikotf, the governor general of Finland,
in June OF last year. The Russifiation
of the province of Finland has been
meeting with great opposition and
creating much bitterness, especially
since the formation of the party of ao-
tive resistance. which is recruiting
from the holder spirits of the original
party OF passive resistance and to
which the perpetrstor of this latest
crime probably belonged.
