EXODUS FROM FINLAND,
Appointment Of New Governor Causes
Anarchists to Clear Out.

st. Petersburg. Feb. lathe ap-
pointment of General Won Boeckman
to be governor Of Finland has pro-
duced much excitement among the
revolutionists and terrorists. who In the
past have found Finland a covert base
Of operations for plots of all kinds.
They are now leaving in great num-
bers. most of them going to Sweden.
This clearing Finland of plotters will
greatly facilitate the work of the po-
lice in guarding the lives of prominent
personages in St. Petersburg. Prao-
tically all the assassinations OF the
past year have been committed by
terrorists who came directly from Fin
land the day they committed the crime,
a method which permitted them to
escape police observation.
Dispatches received here from Hell
siugfors say that police have discover
ed the headquarters of the revolution
lists and completed a list of addresses
and meeting places. Many revolution
lists who were too slow In getting out
have been arrested at Helsingfors and
Viborg.

Their reinforcements of oossaoks will be
sent to Finland.
