Exodns from Finland.

Helsiugfors, Finlaod, Nov. 1O.-The
exodus OF Russian women aud cbildreo
from Finland today assumed the pro.
portions of 8 panic. Every Russian
resident of the country who can possibly
do co is hss.ening on! Of the city. The
belief has become general that wide
spread uprising is unavoidable, and 10.
locations today are that it cannot be
long delayed.
The reports that a general massacre OF
Russians Is planned arc undoubtedly
bsseless, but there Is no question that
Russians of the official class are Ia
danger. The cars officers aud orthodox
Russian priests are constantly being In
suited 10 the streets. and until the
strengthening Of the garrisous through
out the country has been completed the
Moscovite authorities evidently do not
think it safe to resent such mauifests-
lions.
The Russian officials are also con-
stautly In danger from attempts sgainst
them by "sgents provocaieur" Of the
Azsf type. The revelations made In the
recent Loupukhin trial of the activity
of these spies created vertlIable reign
OF terror 10 Russian oficialdom.
