REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
Committee to Select the. Date Will
Probably Meet This Week.

The announcement made last Saturday
in The Star that a local republican dark
horse ticket is in course of preparation,
and that it will soon be launched with a
momentum calculated to sweep everything
before It, has caused no end of speculation
and comment among the republicans of
the District of Columbia. What is even
more mysterious is the statement that the
ticket will contain not one of the names
already mentioned for local political pre-
ferment. The identity of these new poll
ticians will not be disclosed by their sup
porters until the proper time" whenever
that may be.
Several small republican clubs in the Dis
trict have held meetings and discussed cam
didates for delegates and committeeman; a
few of these organizations have gone SO far
as to tentatively indorse a ticket, but as
scarcely any two of these tickets are alike,
II is probable that the strongest sentiment
among the republicans is biding its time,
to be the more effective when released
Mr.. Chaplin Brown, chairman OF the COM
nlittee selected to draft rules and regulate
the coming primaries for the republicans of
the District said today he has been SO busy
with private matters he has been unable to
devote any time to politics. He added. how
ever, that he believed the committee. the
other two members OF which are General
George n Harries and Mr.. John F. Cook.
would probably meet the latter part of this

RUSSIA misunderstood.
Popular Idea Regarding the Empire
Stated to Be Erroneous

The last of the Saturday afternoon lee
lures under the auspices of the National
Geographic Society was delivered April 2
in Hubbard Memorial Hall by M. A. Garlic
ton, cerealist of the Department of Agricul-
ture. His subject was Russia" and he
largely interspersed his remarks with
stereopticon views thrown upon a screen.
He said Russia is not understood by the
people of this country; that one misin-
formation Is the idea that travelling in that
land is accompanied by much difficulty. and
that it IS next to impossible to go from
place to place with any degree of comfort
This, he said, is a great mistake, the facts
being that in the empire of the car travel
ing was perhaps simpler than in any other
country on earth. Having spent much time
in Siberia and Russia studying the grasses
of both countries, Mr.. Carleton said the
idea that Siberia is land of snow and ice
and cOnvicts is absurd. 1t is, he said,
country Of great agricultural promise, and
one could travel for days and never see a
convict.
The inhabitants. he said. are of leth-
argic nature, something after the manners
of peoples of tropical climates. and inclined
to delay business by the plea that tomor-
row is as good as today for that sort of
the tedious delays in business matters there
and the difficulty of accomplishing much
with the people
He said that modern American machinery
is used on many of the great estates of
the country, and that the progress since
the introduction of these improvements has
been wonderful.

pose.
Occasionally he had visited his
charmcr at the court house. where
