COUNT CAssINI OFFENDED.
Did Not Attend Banquet Because of an
Alleged Fancied Slight.

The New York World today says:
The Comte Cassinl, ambassador eXtraor-
binary and minister plenpotentiary of Rus
STA to the United States, did not attend the
banquet of the chamber of commerce last
night Instead, he sent note of regret.
1t was generally observed that the count
seat was vacant, and there was much spec
ulation as to why he did not attend. 1t
was. also remarked that while the flags OF
Great Britain, France and Germany bore
conspicuous place with old glory on the
first page of the menu, that of Russia had
been omitted.
The fact Is that the count declined to at
tend the banquet because he felt that his
country had been Sighted by the omission
of the Russian colors from the menu card
and also by omission of any reference to
Russia in the text of the souvenir program.
The count said to the member who had
come to escort him that, in view of the
obvious slight put upon his country, he
could not possibly be present at the BAN
quet. Later he sent note to the president
of the chamber saying that sudden indis-
position prevented his attendance.

The White Republicans.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:

understood body of men-the white repuol-
cans of the south. You plainly state that

as to the situation in Alabama, MISSISSIPPI
and Louisiana, but in Virginia and North

in North Carolina, my native state, the re
nublican party stands for the same that It
does in the north-for sound money, pro-
lection. free ballot and a fair count IL

party with all its might but having failed
to prevent it. the republican party In Nortn
Carolina in the recent campaign appeared
to the whites for support, believing that
there is nothing in its principles Whlcn
should prevent the white men or the south
from joining it, and the election shows
good results, for it is beaten no worse IMAM
