PRECURSOR OF TERRORISM
View of the Assassination That Is Held at

st. Petersburg. Feb. Z, !: 80 a. M
The news of the ASA ssination of Soin-
linen. prOcuratOr general of Finland.
though occurring before noon on Mon
day was not generally known in st.
Petersburg last night, but may he ex-
pected to produce an immense sensa-
ton when it becomes public, as it will
be regarded as the precursor of an era
of terrorism for which the events of
January in st. Petersburg and though
out Russia gave the signal. Until the
identity of the assassin is definitely
known it will be impossible, of course
to establish the motive of the at
tempt.
But the present circumstances in Fin
land render it almost certain that the
crime is of a purely political charac-
ter, and of the same nature as the as
sassination of Count BobrikOff, the GOV
ernOr general of Finland, in June OF
province of Finland has been meeting
with great opposition and creating
much bitterness, especially since the
formation of the party Of active resist
ance. which was recruited from the
Lolder spirits of the original party of
passive resistance, and to which the
perpetrator of this latest crime proba-
bly, belonged.
At the conference of revolutionary
parties of Russia, comprising repre-
sentatives of the Finnish active resist
ance party, the Polish national lea que.
the Russian emancipationists. and
other revolutionary organizations. in
Berlin last November a programme
for general concerted action was drawn
up. and the assassin of Soininen I'M
doubtedly was in touch with the dis
satisfied element throughout Russia.

Johnson was born in 1856 and prac-

government appointments. including
that of provincial judge. He was APP

1901. and in the same year was made
procurator general of the duchy of Fin
