a young man whose identity up the

The assassin and Soininen and his son
were both wounded in the duel follow

crime apparently was purely political.

member of the. government party.
The murderer appeared at the pro-

name of Alexandra Gadd, who is in the

was smartly dressed in an officers uni

fired four shots from a revolver, one
of the bullets pierciEg the breast of the
procurator, who expired almost in

procurator beyond need of his ser

the surgical hospital, where he lies
guarded by police. answering no ques-

Up to the present the authorities
have been unable to identify him. He

The classification Of the province OF
Finland has been meeting with great op-
position and is creating much bitterness,
especially since the formation of the
party OF active resistance, which is re-
cruitinS from the holder spirits of the
original party of passive resistance and
to which the perpetrator of this latest
crime probably belonged.
At the conference of revolutionary par
ties Of Russia, comprising representatives,
of the Finnish active resistance party
the Polish national league, the Russian
emaucipationiStS, and other revolutionary
organizations in Berlin last night a Dro-
gramme for general concerted action was
drawn up. and the assassin of Soninen
undoubtedly was in touch with the dis
satisfied element throughout Russia. As
matter of fact, never before in the
history Of the empire have events of an
anti-governmental nature been ia closer
connection. as has been shown by the
universal spread Of the strike movement;
and the assassin of SOininen, through
principally inspired BY the grievances of
the Finnish nationalists. undoubtedly was
also spurred on by the use of troops
against the strikers in st. Petersburg and
elsewhere.
Little IS known regarding The murder,
but as Procurator General SonInen was
the adviser of the Finnish senate. which
incurred the enmity of the apti-Russian
parties on account Of the alleged sub
serviency to the process of classification,
Sonininen undoubtedly was elected the
representative and responsible victim.
