Good Will Record: We note that a
business man in Maine has offered
seyenty-fivc dollars to help pay the ex-
penses of a group of boys from that
city to the Good Will Assembly and
Roys' Encampment. He is Il shrewd
business man and knows how to make
good investments of great sums. This
investment We fancy will prove to be
as good one for a small sum as he
has often made; we predict large divi-
Gends and wonder why more men don't
make 3 similar investment.

Helsingfors, Aug. 2.-The mutineers
undoubtedly had the upper hand
until the battleships Slava and
Czarevitch arrived and commenced
to lombard them with such telling eY-
feet that the central magazine was
blown up and the best guns in the
hands Of the revoluticnists were rem
dered practically useless. Commander
Toget and 1000 loyal infantrymen then
surrounded the barracks. They were
under continual fire from the revolu-
tionists.
Att O'Clock last evening the battle
ship Czarevitch and the cruiser Bogatyr
opened fire on the mutineers at a. dis
tance Of fifty cable lengths The mutt
neers replied, but their shots seemed to
fall short. &.
The A1va, another cruiser, arrived
later and joined in the bombar dment.
The firing ceased at O'Clock and the
boats were seen leaving the islands.
Several members Of the "red guard -
have been arrested.
The permanent Notifications on Svea-
borg island were badly damaged by the
shell fire exchanged by the combatants.
The Red Guard (the armed socialist
legion), under the command Of Johan
Koch has appealed to the Films to
strike in support Of the brave heroes
of the Russian revolution but gen
'eral strike is regarded as impossible

legal form. =. : z .
