Fails to Pacify Finns as Czar Critics Demand Reforms
Special correspondence from Paris reports rising Finnish unrest over Russian rule. Despite partial concessions from the Czar after the December 31, 1904 petition, key issues remain: dictatorship, Russian language in public service, transfer of power from the Finnish Senate, and autocracy proclaimed in 1899. Police provocations and arrests fuel labor unrest, with demonstrations in Helsingfors and other towns. Public anger grows as trials of political offenders move to Russia and police bias provokes further discontent. The Finns await reforms and cautious optimism fades as no clear instructions arrive from St. Petersburg ahead of possible imperial changes.
