CHURCH, President. iy Soe ae aT W. H. YERKES, RUSSIA IN EUROPE Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard's Talk to the Scientific Societies. FACTS ABOUT THE CZAR'S DOMINION — -2- Interest in-the Future of the Great Empire. — A VARIETY, OF RACES > The scientific societies. of Washington held their first joint meeting last night at the National Rifles’ Hall, which was made the occasion fer the reading of an Interest- ing paper by Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard. Notwithstanding the warm evening a good-sized. audience was. present, although more could have been seated. Mr. Goode presided at the meeting, and in introducing Mr. Hubbard, spoke of the rapid growth of scientitiy societies in this city within the past twenty-five years: He explained that the idea of holding joint meetings of the societies was of recent birth, and deemed it eminently fitting that the first meeting should be addressed by Mr. Hubbard, whom he thereupon introduced. Mr. Hubbard an- nounced the subject of his paper to be “Russia in Europe,” and his descriptions the result of personal observation and travel. A number of stereopticon views were exhibited during the evening. Mr. Hubbard's Address, Mr. Hubbard said that England, the United States and Russia have each made greater territorial acquisitions during the present century than all the other coun- tries of the world together. In the case of the British empire these have been larger and more important than those of either the United States or Russia; indeed, 80 per cent of the colonial territory of the Euro- Fean powers, other than Russia, belongs to England, these possessions being sixty times larger than the mother country. The United States and Russia have only an- nexed contiguous territory—save Alaska— the United States eatending her wi border from the Mississippi to the Pacific ocean. Rus . when first enrolled among civil- ized nations, in the time of Peter the Great, bad no outlet to any ocean, except Arctic, and corsequently no possibility of a Navy or of commerce. Since then she has extended her dominion northwest to the Gulf of Bothina and the-Baltic sea, build- ing St. Petersburg on the marshes of Fin- land; south to the Black and Caspian seas, southeast to Afghanistan and China, and in the extreme east, on the Pacific coast, to the mouth of the Amoor and Vla¢ tock. ‘The acquisitions ‘of the Russian empire within this century are greater in extent and importance than was the whole of Euro- pean Russia before that time; her frontier has been afvanced toward Stockholm miles, toward Berlin 700 miles, toward stantinople 500 miles, toward India 1,300 miles. Her territory in Europe comprises more than one-haif of that continent, yet with all these acquisitions she has only one Fort, Sebastorol, open to navigation throughout the.yean»<the others being closed by ice from three to six months. ‘Until within forty er fifty years, southern and southeastern Russia was infested with | hordes of ‘Tartars; ‘Kalmucks and Cossacks, who overran nearly one-third of Russia; wanceripe tribes, without’ fixed habitation tr_permfineant government. Russia, for~the protection of her new’ agriculturalists, was obliged to subdue these unruly tribes, and extend her do- mir.ton still further to thé east, until the Russfan émpire'firially reached a barrier in the Pamir and the mountains of Afghants- tan. A Railroad te the Pacific. Russia will soon have railroad and steam communication from Petersburg to the Pacitic ocean, passing through rich prairies and mineral lands in Siberia. There, with a coast ‘of several’ hundfed niles, and a vast territory on the. Pacific, she has no port for her navy open all the year—no wort-r she demands such a port from Corea and the nations of the east. The rea- | sons which induced England to obtain con- trol of the Suez canal, to hold Egypt, and to acquire coaling stations in the islands of the Atlantic and Pacifig oceans are the same as those which lead Russia to seek | these new outlets, whjch, will be a benefit to the countries themselves, to Russia and to ths world. 5 : Mr. Hubbard then proceeded to a descrip- tion of the physical. features of Russia, its mountain ppes and rivers. Speaking of Russia's natural resources, he said: “At the southern extfemity of the Cau- casus, on the Caspian sea, at Baku, there stands an old temple, where for centuries a on has been kept burning by the worshipers of India and Persia. sts in the olden time declared the fire supernatural, the gift of the god of Modern science shows that the sup- ume from oil wells. On one side of of the fire worshipers are now huge derricks pumping the oil, on the other a great Store embankment, stretch- ing for over a mile along the sea coas! where several hundred steam and sailing sels and long trains.of railroad cars are loaded w il. Here is a population of centy years ago were less rsee tending his fire symbolizes the past: the Russian with his oll wells, his railroads and steam boats, the future. The petroleum is used for fuel on the Caspian and Volga steamers; it is sent up the Volga and tts branches ‘to ali parts of fa, and ts carried py ra{l from Baku to Batowm onthe Black sea, and by steamer to different parts of It has now superseded American Russia and competed with it in Vienna, mmttl consolidation of the Ameri- can and Russian interests was made.” A Varfety of Races. Touching upon the subject of ra Hubbard said: “Although Russia ts one of the most tuni- form and compact of countries, yet fe are occupied by a greater variety of ray Southern and middie Russia was for many centuries the great highway from Asia to » Mr. the | The | Europe, over which vast numbers of bar- barian hordes, Aujans, Seythians, Huns, Monguls and Vandals, passed into Italy, Hungary, Germany, and by the Darril pass, over the Caucasus into Asia Minor. Some remained, ali left their impress upon Rus- sia. We do not know who were the abor- igines of Russla, but the” Aryan or Sla- vonian element is today predominant there, as well as in other parts of Europe. The Slavonians were the last of the Aryans to eave their ancestral home for*Russia. It seems evident that in the fifth and sixth centuries they occupied a small region in what is now called Little Russia, the germ of the great Russian empire. The Aryans coming so late as they did from the Orient have preserved largely their orfental char- acteristics, and afterward mingling intl- mately with the Mongolians of Russia tl qualities have been intensified. The mgolian blood and type of mind have, therefore, largety.reconquered the Russian from the Aryan race. “Difference of race, and still more, dif- ference of religion, have prevented the mingling 0° these various races, and con- tinue a great obstacle to their elevation and civilization. ides the races named there are Mongolians, Armenians, Poles, Semites, Georgians and Turks, in all, thirty different races, with Greek Catholic, Shumanistic, Buddhist, Jewish and Mo- hammedan,dissenters of all kinds and pagan religions. Although the Tartar ruled for a time, yet here, as in all other parts of Europe, the Aryan race has prevailed—they have forced their way into northern and central Asia. “Russia, with a population of nearly 90,- 000,000, 18 very thinly populated, having only fifteen inhabitants to the square kilo- meter, while Germany has seventy-eight and England one hundr*d and fourteen. The population is increasing at a more rapid rate than in either of these coun- tries, though nine-tenths of the people are peasants or nomads, only one-tenth living in towns and cities, while in the United States over three-tenths live in towns and cities. Two-thirds of the population live around Moscow and Kief, occupying only one-quarter part of Russia. “In the black zone and the agricultural steppe dwell the Great and Little Russians, ‘They comprise two-thirds of the inhabit- ants of Russia; all with oriental charac- teristics and habits. A large proportion of the peasants were formerly serfs, belong- ing either to the government or the nobles, but inseparable from the land. In 1861 they were partially enfranchised. Their educa- tion has been neglected; their improve- ment has been very slow. The highly civil- ized mai makes nature subordinate to his convenience and necessities, but in uncivil- ized nations, and such Is Russia, nature dominates, and man becomes subject to its influences. “In Russia there are only two seasons, summer and winter. During the long arc tic winter the people are without occupa- tion, save the tending of flocks morning and night. “The days are short and sunless, the nights long—houses without ventilation, hot, close, the air bad. They wear the same clothes night and day; sleep all to- gether on the large stoves; bathe and wash only on Sundays before church. They lead idle, listless lives In winter, and when win- ter ends are little inclined to work. Then follow the long days of summer, when the heat is fully as enervating as the bitter cold. They have neither mental nor bodily activity; become heavy end lethargic. For generations their food has been meager, of the poorest kind, and almost entirely un- table to the climate. Those who sur- vive to, mature age have great power of endurance, often becoming stolid, stub- bornish, a passive courage, resignation. They have little imagination, and there- fore, no inventive faculty. Describing the government of Russia, Mr. Hubbard said there are ranks of no- bility, but, unlike those of western Europe, the nobles have no political power or right of primog2nitur®; all their children are of equal rank, so that nobles are found among the droshky drivers of St. Petersburg. | ‘Their influence depends solely on their wealth and personal character. Communal Government. In Russia the village community called the mir has been persistent, and exists to- dsy in a form not widely different from that which prevailed in ancient Arya, and all over Europe and Asia. All the land is held by the mir, and is divided into three portions, arable, waste and tillage. The homes are all in the village, the fields be- ing cut into long, narrow strips, which are periodically divided among the families, so that each family shall have one or more strips, according to its size and numbers, which are redistributed every few years. Nearly all the women and about half the men are engaged in their cultivation. The larger portion of their property is held in ccmmon. All the affairs and business of the mir are regulated in a council, com pesed of the adult men and women, when heads of a family, of the community. This village assembly has power to try and pun- ish criminals, and can even send them to Siberia. It is the only government of which the vast majority of Russians have any experience, or in which they have any interest. ‘The peasant, being allowed to govern the world in which he lives, does not concern himself with that which is unseen and far away. The mir, with the exception of com- munity of property and judiclal authority, is the counterpart of the New England town meeting, the corner stone of our re- pubiican institutions. The brightest men leave the commune snd go to the cities to work as artisans. They must, however, | first obtain permission from the mir, and | return to it when ordered, and also send a Fart of their earnings to the village treas- | ury, or forfeit all their hereditary rights and all connection with their ancestral bome and kindred. No Nationu} Educntional System. There has- never been any national sys- tem of education in Russia. There are eight universities in Russia, with between ten and twelve thousand students, who are mestly from poor families and often support themselves by teaching. They strongly desire to reform the government and improve the people, but knowing no other way save through nihilism, they have converted the universities into hotbeds of nihilism. The government has conse- subjected the sttdents to very yegulations, not only in their study, but in their life outside as well es within the university, the tendency being to re- strict instruction and confine it to specified lines. There are also secondary common schools and gymnasiums, but only 2,590, scholars in place of 15,000,000 who would be there if as large a proportion attended school as @o in Germany. Of every ten Russian men two may be able to read, but of every ten Russian women hardly one. As late as 1882 only $300,000 was appropriated by the government for educational purposes, 2 000,000 in all by the general and only $3, and local governments. In conclusion Mr. Hubbard said: “The day of awakening, of progress, of e@luca- tion, of prosperity to the Russian peasant is sure to come, but whether its civiliza- tion shall be that of Europe or Asia is un- certain. Then Russia, with her empire extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific, will become the leading nation of the orient.” es At the conclusion ofthe reading of the paper, Prof. Newcomb moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Hubbard, which was unani- mously carried, and the meeting adjourned. COUPON CUTTERS WON. ‘The Pension Office Team Lacked Lend- ing Players, The Pension Otlice team of the Depart- mental Base Ball League, played on their reputation yesterday and lodt’‘theé game to the Treasury Department boys by 20 to 14. The Pension boys, however, greatly missed the service of Bolway at’short, and this, in a measure, accounted ‘fet! their de- feat. The Treasury team showed a de- cided improvement in playing and batted Cleeves about as they wanted. Gray, the third baseman for the Pension office, broke his finger in the third inning. The game was not called until nearly 5 o'clock, and this state of affairs should be remedied if’ the league hopes to have any sort of an atterdance. “Score: PENSION OFFICE, | TREASURY DEPT.

There are but eight more games to be chess championship of the District, and the leaders in the contest are so- closely bunched that any one of the four now standing at the head of the list may event- ually walk off with the splendid trophy. The controversy concerning the Libbey tourney has produced some feeling between the players, who insist that the champion- ship title does not rest with this event, and those who contend that the fact that the tourney was thrown open to all local players give the others no ground for complaint. It seems that the former play- ers are arguing that the Washington Chess Club should not try to control the tourney and make rules of the contest without consultation with the representatives of the other organizations containing chess players, such as the Capital Bicyele Club. Mr. Walk now leads the list,’ but he is followed by Messrs. Wright and Hanna, each of whom has enough games to play to tle the leader. Capt. O'Farrell has not done so well on the second round as he did on the first, at the end of which he led the tourney, and now he has practically drcpped out of the race, as it is doubtful | DRO. J.

Fhe teams were made up foJows: For Baltimore, Messrs. Pryor, Bokeé and Ritter; for Washington, Messrs. Mundelle, McHardy and Ward.
