ST. PETERSBURG, April 2S.-(special
Dispatch to The Bee)-There will be no
drawing back by Russia in the matter of
dealing with Finland.
That can be put down as certain. The
Russian view is that with the strong anti
Russian feeling existent in Finland that
country under the old conditions, was
menace to the peace and safety OF the
empire which could not be tolerated
understand a monster petition is being
prepared in Finland to be presented to the
czar. praying him to reconsider his de-
cision. It is virtually certain, however,
that Finnish opposition to the projected
legislation will be strictly confined within
constitutional bounds, taking the form OF
passive resistance.
Many Firms now acknowledge that the
declarations made by their friends among
iurists abroad against Russia's legal claim
to introduce the legislative measure com
planned Of damaged instead of helping the
cause,
There is the highest authority for stat
Ing that neither the petition nor resistance,
whether passive or active, Will have any
effect
Case Against the Firms.
The official Russian position was re-
Gently outlined by the Novoe Vremya in
this language:
FINLAND enters into the composition OF
the Russian empire as an integral portion
thereof, consequently Russo-Finnish rela-
tions do not at any point touch the do
main of international law. Besides,
it is a question not OF Finlands COM
plants, but of Russia's legitimate claims.
Finnish laws deny to common subjects of
the empire the rights conferred upon Firms
in other parts of the empire.
Again the Firms do not wish to par-
ticipate in the common imperial expendi-
ture for national defense They refuse to
protect the empire with the blood of their
sons, as Russia defended them during the
Crmean war. The Films, too, have de-
liberately employed a gauge on the rail-
ways which prevents Russian rolling
stock from entering the principality."

Appearances are deceptive in the case OF
Marie Rutkovsky. The fashionable audi
ence that crowded the great theater in the
Polish capital the other night gave her an
ovation as she appeared as the prima
ballerina in THE Lake of Swans" ballet
for which Tchaikovsky wrote the exquisite
music
They saw she was young, very pretty
| and mistress of her difficult art, She per-
! formed the exacting and complicated
dances Of the princess as though nothing
! in the world was easier. She reused the
house to enthusiasm by the grace with
which she did the fouettes, as the critics
call spinning round on one toe an incred-
| ible number of times. The Polish papers,
indeed record the fact that she went round
| thirty-nine times without stopping. AS she
moved across a rosy lake i'm a fairy ship
with the beautiful prince and Tschaikov-
sky's enchanting music floating through tho
theater, nobody would have imagined that
the ballerna was girl with a most serious
view Of life. But the fact is her object
in giving performances in Warsaw was
to make enough money TO continue her
legal studies at the University of St
| Petersburg.
I She has set her heart on becoming a
barrister. Unhappily, the Russian senate
has recently decided that woman cannot
be admitted to the bar Mile Rutkovsky
will make a new effort to gain a victory
for her sex and to become Russia's first
woman advocate,
If she fails, she has decided to enter
the medical profession, and viii study
medicine at the university She sdores
dancing. and will not neglect her art but
intends to combine a serious profession
with the more frivolous one she now
adorns.
