Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 July 1904 — New Governor of Finland. [ARTICLE]

New Governor of Finland.

Helsingfors. Finland, July 7. —News of the appointment of Prince John Obolensky as governor-general of Finland was received here without any display of sentiment. He is, however, preferred to other candidates. The imperial rescript confirming the appointment is pleasing to the Finlanders, as It accuses only the direct accessories and not the country of connection with the assassination of Governor General Bobrikoff. It is believed that the rescript is a guaranty that a harsh policy wiH not be adopted.
