An Eastern exchange 3av8 that
ore of the most significant of re
ceet developments in Russian do
mestic Policy has been the steady
growth of a public opinion in favor
of a more liberal treatment of Fin
land. At the first onset of the
war, when the promises to the 1'olei
contained in the now historic mes
sage of the Grand Duie Nicholas
gave such hope of the advent of a
more liberal regime, thought na
turally turned to Finland. The cou
Tlction gained ground that there
would be an immediate relaxation
of the harsh methods and admitted
ly illegal legislation w hich had been
increasingly characteristic of Rus
sian government of the country for
Bo long. These hopes were large
ly disappointed, but those who un
derstood the situation in Russia, lu
any degree, were not inclined to bt
unduly impatient.
No bureaucracy relinquishes its
hold on government with readiness,
but the particular bureaucracy
which, at present, in Russia is
banking high its last ditch against
tho rising tide of a democracy,
grown overwhelming by long supres
siou, may be depended upon to
yield nothing "xcep'. to force ma
jeure. The position in Finland, ini
ujeuimeiy on the declaration of war,
grew rapidly worse. Whatever had
betn harsh In government before
waa increased iu harshness;
magistrates were dismissed from
their offices, many being banished
to Siberia; many other public men
were treated in a similar manner,
and the most tyrannical press cen
sorship was everywhere instituted.
The outlook seemed dark enough,
and drew forth man^ bitter pro
tects, but those who kept their eyes
Steadily fixed on what was 'really
happening in Russia wer<j very far
from being incliuel .to lose hope.
Discussing the matter some time
ago, il. Erik Ehrstrom, who at one
time held an official position iu the
Finnish Diet, took, it Ja true, a not
too hopeful view of the position,
but, at the same tigie, expressed
the conviction that if Russia
achieved a more liberal Duma,
Finland would eventually reap the
bemelJt of this change. <,
The present Duma has already
shown Itself more wisely liberal
than any of its predecessors, and
the Finnish question and. the justice
wf the Finnish demand for reform
is claiming its attention.. It is on
record that when the lawj removing
all matters of a personal concern
from the power of the Finnish Diet
had been rushed .through the
packed Duma of 1910,- one of the
leaders of the party of- reaction
sprang from his seat and shouted
exultantly "Finis, finis FinJandiae."
A comparison of this attitude with
the attitude of the present; Duma
towards Finnish affairs, serves to
show, in a fashion strikingjisuough,
what rapid strides Russia has been
mak'cg, recently, towards a mare
liberal outlook and a moreCliberal
policy. c*

MARIPOSA HIT STORM
s
Juueau Empire: That passengers
of the steamship Mariposa, on her
last trio from Seward, got the scare
of their lives while oft Yakutat, is
the story that is going the rounds
of tho waterfrout. The Mariposa
encountered one of the stiff est
storms in years, and shipped hun
dreds of seas while she was battling
with the gale.
Tu«- big vessel had 1600 tons of
copper ore from the Uouanza mine
Keuuecott, which was valued at a
haif million dollars. The vessel's
prow went uuder every swell, and
I as 'i result a wide section of her
railing was smashed away and part
of her super-structure was battered
in. la one Btateroom there was
two feet of water at one time, pas
aen^fi's said, while all staterooms,
and the social hall, on the Baloon
deck, were flooded.
One passenger said: "I looked
tut of my stateroom -window and
I sure thought we were sinking. A
river of water was flowing along
the deck."
