REPUBLICANS ARE
NOW IN HAR NONY

After two caucuses held yesterday
the situation In the Fifth district seems
to have been so arranged that there
will be practical harmony at the club
meetings this evening. The most Sc
rious difference was apparent in the
seventh precinct where a ballot box
was missed two years ago, and there
the contending elements were brought
together and each persuaded to take a
portion of the ticket.
At the meeting of the committee
there was a general discussion Of the
prospects of the party during the fall
campaign. It was the belief that there
is very good chance for the election of
n portion. at least, of the ticket, and
the members OF the committee were q
unit in their expressions that with hard
work the party could be placed in a
better condition than 1t was two years
ago.
The meetings this evening of the va
rious precinct clubs will draw large
crowds Of Republicans IN each precinct,
and the outlook is that in a majority
of the precincts OF the city there will
be harmony in the selection of the men
for the district committees and the
Territorial conventions as well. The
nominees are to be voted upon at the
primary to be held August End.

RussIA's pONTION.

The utterarces of Grand Duke Boris
cousin Of the Gear. throw some side
lights on Ruysia.s position IS power
E4is tour around the globe and the
treatment he has received at the hands
of various nations, also have their
bearing on municipalities. The remarks
of the Grand Duke in connection with
the attitude of Japan and Russia are
convincing that the Gear is carrying
out the promise he made at The Hague
Peace conference to work for interna-
tionaI concord. Grand Duke Boris is
very close to the Gear and a military
officer, yet ne intimates that Russia is
not likely to ever again engage in big
war. and will do its best automatically
to keep out OF one. The Prince also
declares that the Car is propagating
his peace ideas among all his soldiers
and the distinguished travellers own
statement that Russia does not desire
war and that there will be no great
armed conflicts in the future show that
ne is thoroughly a peace mon, although
himself an army officer and having
brother in the Russian naval fleet IN
Japanese waters. The cordial treat
ment given the Prince in the lard of
the rising sun shows also that Japan
has friendly feeling for Russia and
desires to maintain Ii, despite the pos
sibiiities of the alliance she has entered
into with England.
Cablegrams say that the Gar and the
Italian monarch are discussing the re-
duction of armament. With France
and Italy friendly and Japan. England,
America. and Germany not particular
iy unfriendly the moment seems a fit
ore for Russia to propose any more
disarmament plans that the fertile
brain Of the Car can think Of to place
the world in less costly position of
defence.
