DEN MARX.
Copenhagen.

Elections for members of the
Finnish diet were held March Is, says
the "Politiken" Copenhagen. These
are the first elections since the re-
vision Of the constitution and the alb
clifton of the ancient four-hOnse legis-
!ature that perpetuated the privileges
of the nobility, the burgesses and the
clergy at the expense of the peasantry
The hestowal of universal ballot,
proportional representation and women
suffrage have combined to awaken
wide popular interest In the present
political situation which has aroused
the people as completely as did the
universal strike movement of two
years ago, which resulted in the birth
of Finnish liberties. There are eighty
women candidates in the field, and it
is probable that not less than a dozen
will be elected The most acute Ques-
ton before the electorate is that of
the total prohibition of the sale OF
liquor, which is advocated by strong
section of public opinion.
Russian fugitives are flocking into
Copenhagen day by day, and there are
now over 1900 Russians there. Most
of them are Russian Jews and they
are eolonizing in the Norrebro section
of the city. Nest of them are very
industrious people, although they are
slow in acquiring the use of the Dan
ish language.
The Danish training ship Viking
was blown over during a storm in a
ship building yard in Copenhagen
March 10. She had 400 Workmen Oh
board at the time. Only ten workmen
were injured and there was no loss
OF life. The Viking was only recently
completed.

nobody knows. And there you

country in every direction and
are the principal highways. The
country people carry their prod

canal boats. These boats are run
by steam, by sails, pushing poles

walking on the bank. A large
traffic is carried on over them
and by means of them country

things can be carried to the peo-
