A dispateli front Helsingfors says: “The Finnish senate has received a severe rebuff from the Czar by the promulgation of the new military service law. The senate addressed a memorandum to his majesty soliciting an assurance of the maintenance of the political institutions of Finland. * Tin* Czar’s reply says he does not find the present occasion a suitable one for new assurances as to the maintenance in tin* future of local institutions. As to liie Czar's good intentions, his faithful subjects should not be in doubt. Disquieting apprehensions disseminated by evil-minded people must be repressed by administrative measures. These measures are understood to la* the practical exile without trial of inconvenient persons. The victims probably will include four senators who voted against the military service law and forty Lutheran clergymen who refused to rend the law from the pulpits according to the historic Finnish custom.”
