It was announced in Friday's papers that General Bobiikoff, the

Russian Governor-General of Finland, was shot at Helsingfors on Thursday, and mortally wounded, by Eugene Schaumann, son of a Finnish Senator, and himself an official of the Finland Education Department. Schaumann, having shot the Dictator, who died the same evening, committed suicide. This is no Nihilist crime, but the direct result of the mad policy of " Russifization," which, as applied to Finland, was pure Oppression. The Times correspondent at Vienna says that it is regarded there "as the firatfruits of the harvest which Russia has been sowing with both hands during the last few years." In Finland . and Poland Russia has an internal question which at any moment may become fraught with the gravest peril to the State.
