NEW YORK. April IS. -(New York
Herald Barvlo Special t. The Be. ) let
ters from be mwnbsrs of the roysl family
of Russia being iwcelved by a prominent
1st. not only la statement of fact but la
sentiment what aa immense patriotic fervor
Is stirring that country to tb. very cor.
during tb. present conflict with the Japs.
Foe forty year, or more a resident (
Kw Turk, Ike woman la auestlon is stUl
at heart as loyal a patriot as when she first
came to this country a bride. And today
sh. Is unabl. to talk of th. sanguinary
conflict with any degree of composure. liar
yes nil with tears and she Is choked with
motion the moment eh. essays to speak
of th. terrible trials which her beloved
countrymen and women are undergoing at
present.
Neither Is her loyalty confined to mere
sentiment, for financial aid of a very ac
ceptable sort has found Its way across the
water, and moreover, this devoted patriot
Is said to have not only to have refused
all Invitations of a social character, but
has garbed herself In the hue of mourning
la res pre t to her brave countrymen at
tha front who have given their lives for
their country-
A latter received today from a daughter
of Grand Duke Sergtus of Moscow, whose
wife la a sister of th. empress, relates pot
only bow th. Russian m.rchants, aristoc
racy and nobility are contributing Im
mense sums to th. empress war fund, but
th. poorest peasants as well.
Foals' Civ. slack Me.y.
"On. of tb. grand duchesses In charge of
just th. small cola reuaivad from tb. very
poorest people of the country," said the
Russian today, "writes me that in less than
two hours one morning she herself took In
mors than 11.00 rubles In amounts approx
imating t cents, dimes and quartern, and
very on. of them from the poorest in th.
land.
"By night, from all sources, there was
mors than S.ooo.ooo rubles (about fl. 500, OCX
In American money). Checks for 600, 0o
rubles from merchants from th. custom,
and many gave l.OvO.OOO. Some American
newspapers say that, Russia Is In need of
money, but It Is not so. They hsv. all
and more than Is necessary tor present
expenses, snd there Is unlimited supply yet
to be drawn upon.
"Every large Russian city and town,"
continues th. speaker, "is organised to co
operate for war relief. There la no com
pulsion about It, but every one, even th.
poorest beggar that walks th. streets. Is
wUling and anxious to serve.
"In St. Petersburg th. royal palace la
turned Into workrooms over which th. em
press la tb. presiding genius, not alone di
recting th. work, but personally assisting.
From tb. packing of a box of underclothing
sh. will lust as likely drop down at a sew.
lug maehln. and put togetnar gome com.
mon article of wearing apparel to cover
the body of a poor Cossack.
"There are so many opportunities of as
sisting bealdea merely the making of band
ages. Take Just one article, that of hand
kerchiefs alone: There must be simply tons
of them. Soldiers must have changes of
underclothing, and witb no provision of
laundering of any sort you can Imagine
th. quantities of garments of all sorts
and kinds that ar. needed.
Empress Is Remarkable.
"Some women, perhaps, attend to th.
packing of tea, sugar, etc., for the soldiers'
kits, then. In th. way of medicine and
surgical appliance, there sr. requisitions
to fill. Th. palace Is Ilk. a great beehive
I can think of no ether simile so applicable.
Certain rooms are given over to th. men
who do th. more laborious work of boxing
up th. goods and sending them to th.
front.
"I have never seen a picture which does
Justice to th. ampreas, a or any account of
her whioh at all gives an adequate idea of
her as a woman. Shs Is most remarkable.
Her mother, tb. Princess Alice, who was
a daughter of Queen Victoria, and tne
flower of th family, I know very well in
deed. Bhe is not only possessed of many
splendid qualities, but is in her ways ilk.
her grandfather, that noble man, the
queen's consort, whose Influence is felt
throughout all England today.
"Whatever th. final outcome of th. war,
there will be no lack of assistance f .very
possible sort. Money flows Ilk. water and
th. people ar. only doing now what they
did during th. Crimean war, when even a
beggar gav. all h. had for tb. cause.
"I was in Moscow then and assisted in
collecting money for th. war fund. Two
districts were assigned to ma, on. In th.
poorest portion of th. city, th. other among
th. wealthy residents. I drove to th. square
In th. poor district in th. morning and took
my stand beside It. You haven't any Idea
of the sight that daily greeted my .yes.
Th. place was packed wltb people, some
In rags and all extremely poor. They were
all making their way towards nve, some
wltb their hands full of small coin, which
was plaoed tn the carriage. At th. end of
two hours th. carriage w.uld be filled with
not only money, but Jewelry, brooches,
pins and neck chains, which the women
tor. from their necks to help snail the war
fund. They ar. doing tha same, today.
"It hurts me that the American govern
ment Is inimical to the Russians. Simplic
ity Is the keynote of the Russian character.
It UBed to be so with Americans, but, oh,
I see a great change. Th.H. fine charac
teristics which I knew and admired In the
people when I first cam. to this country
are being replaced by a love of ostenta
tion which Is revolting. It fills my heart
wltb sorrow to see It. Sons and daughters
of a past generation, whe should develop
and grow broader, are falling below the
standard of their parents. Americans ar.
losing ground. I fsel It, I am sure of It."

WASHINGTON. April W.-(New York
Herald Service Special to The Bee.) Tb.
District of Columbia has representation In
the nominating conventions of both parties,
slthouxh without electoral vote. This sit-
I uatloa has pusilcd foreigners, to whom it
seems an anomaly. They nolnt out thai
this is on. place in our country where re
publican Institutions do not prevail.
By th. terms of th. constitution this dis
trict can never cast an electoral vote In a
presidential contest. The district has no
election machinery, no way of knowing;
who is a republican and who a democrat,
sine, tha citizens of other states living
here cannot go Into th. local primaries and
the local citizens will have no cnanc. to
cast a ballot on election day.
No way remains of distinguishing demo
crats from republicans except by Individual
professions of preference. Practically, how
ever, the line is much mora easily drawn.
. Th. democratic primaries will not admit
a negr. except on overwhelming evidence
of his democracy: while the republican pri

Most of th. substantial population of tte
