Copen hagen.

In an article contributed to the
Nyaarhundrede (Copenha gem the Dan
ish publicist, Ivar Borendson re,
views the peaceable restoration of
Finand's constitutional rights. After
the rejection of the national petitions
to the ear protesting against the man
ifesto Of 1S99 the Firms seemed to
resign themselves to their fate. The
veneer of Russianization has now been
brushed off in q single week. The
writer thus reviews the situation: The
weapon used for the purpose of
paralyzing the government was the
general strike. 1t may be the question
to which class belongs the chief part
of honor in the struggle. A marvellous
unity characterized the whole move
ment. While post, telegraph and rail
way traffic was stopped the entire
light supply was cut off The strike
extended even into the private kitchen
and this, was one of the reasons which
FASTENED the departure Of the Russian
officials. In the meantime the ques-
ton was not only should Russian guns
be directed on Helsingfors, but also
should personal safety be maintained
That so few transgressions of the law
occurred with the whole police force
on strike is splendid testimony for
the Finnish people. The revolution in
Finland hence stands as an unparalleled
example of a popular upheayal, prov
ing the immense elastic power Of ma
tionaI consciousness. The lessons
which Finland has learned during the
time Of Russian oppression are mani
fold. Before the discrimination, Fin
land possessed a clean administration,
with honest judges and other function
aries the official language of which
was either Finnish or Swedish the lat
ter predominating in the cities, the
former i'll the country districts Six
and one-half years later there is
corrupt and laWless government, with
Russian as the sole language. Mutual
confidence in the supremacy of the
law, which has been lost during this
period, cannot be restored at once. The
imperial manifesto, announcing the re-
turn of the former status quo, is but
a formal thing The Films realize full
we'll that the solemn ukase only meaaS
that the Russianization of Finland
must be suspended for the time being.
Whether it is going to be tried once
more. depends on the condition OF
things in Russia. Finnish co-opera-
ton with the liberal movement III Rus
STA must therefore be continued. While
the liberia classes in the empire value
the mora! support Of the bloodless VIC
tory IN Finland, tic country sees the
guarantee Of its privilege only in
constitutional Russia.'

ONE BELL AGAINST MANY.
Cleveland Mans Effort TO Make More
Noise Than Convent.

Cleveland Mans Effort to Make More
Noise Than Convent.
A battle Of bells is being waged be-
tween the Convent of the Good Shop
herd in Cleveland, O.. and John Griese,
whose domicile is in the immediate
neighborhood Of the big convent, says
the Cleveland Leader.
John has a ten inch bell which hangs
in his back yard. The convent has a
dozen bells perched high in the loft
tower of the great convent. Some Of
these weigh a ton and half and send
their reverberations three or four
miles All are attuned according to
the laws of melody and are designed
to call the devout to their devoti0ns.
Griese's bell, however, has no such
sacred function. It's purpose seems to-
be to make a noise without rhyrne or
music And it has fulfilled its func-
ton, so the police declare. On the com
plant Of Il neighDor Crlese was taken
into custody on a recent Sunday on the
charge Of lisorderly conduct. or, in the
words Of tie affidavit. ''Of ringing
certain bell Without q lawful purpose
When aTraigued in the police court
Griese obtained a continuance Of the
herring OF the charge until March !.
By that time his attorney, Judge A. W.
Lamson, will be in readiness to present
a defence and will attempt to show
that his client has as much right to
ring his own bell as the people within
the convent to ring theirs.
When seen at his home Griese was
proud of his bell and was quite willing
to explain his side Of the case. Point
ing toward the high wall which sur
rounds his home on three sides, Griese
said:
1.-THE bells on the other side of that
wall are many. There is one up IN the
tower there that weighs a ton and
half. And they range from that one
down to electric bells Those bells
ring at O'Clock in the morning and
sometimes at midnight. The big bell is
rung thirteen times 4 day. | have
known the smaller bells to ring forty
three times on a holiday. Now, why
can't ring my bell when feel like it?

that wall, and it blows at certain times.
If I had the money I would buy
steam calliope, for enjoy noise.
Griese's bell is about the size of To-
connective bell 1t is hung in shed.
Griese explained that this plan was
found necessary to protect the bell, for
the reason that several attempts have
been made to steal it. Griese has line
attached to the bell which runs to the
headboard of his bed. He is thus able
to ring the bell whenever he is aWak-
ened.

PROPOSED NAVAL CHANGES.
Bill Drafted by Secretary Bonaparte
for Submission to Congress.

Secretary Bonaparte has prepared for sub
mission to Congress in a few days the draft
OF a new personnel bill for the navy, en-
bodying the principal recommendations In
his annual report for the betterment Of the
naval personnel. Probably the most import
ant provision OF the bill is one providing for
the creation in the navy Of a corps of
marine engineers, to be appointed after
proper examination from civil life and to be
commissioned In the navy as marine en-
gineers for shore duty only. By the crea-
ton of this corps Secretary Bonaparte be-
lieves that the engineering problem In the
navy will be partially solved. In order
that 1t may be fully solved he proposes to
SO amend the naval regulations that every
junior officer in the service will have to
serve tour Of duty dn the engine room of
a ship before he can be promoted to the
next higher grade.
Another provision Of the personnel bill
Will provide for the creation Of two Woe

that rank by detail, will command. respect
