A RUSSIAN PRINCE DIES IN DISGRACE.
PARIS, July 2.-[Speciall- Prince Dol
goroukoG, recently governor of Moscow,
died in this city yesterday evening.
Prince Dolgoroukon was until recently
the Cars intimate and confidential
friend, and represented tho Car with
pomp and pageantry. giving brilliant
balls and dinners, which, as it was said,
would have required purse of fortunes
to keep up for any length of time.
Moscow had always boon known as Il
city where Jews wcrc better treated
than in any OF tho other large cities of
the Russian empire, and to the Jews, it
has been announced, Prince Dolgorou-
kof turned for financial aid, and the
Jews, in return for the kind treatment
they received, poured money into the
Golfers of the Prince Dolgoroukolf To
these free gifts from Jews add loans,
and it transpired in February last that
the vicc-regal court of Moscow, presided
over by Prince Dougoroul1off was over
whelmcd with debt to the wealthy Jews
of Moscow and elsewhere. Affairs seem
to have reached the climax when, owing
possibly to his lcniency, due to tho fact
that he owed the Jews so much money,
Prince Dolgoroukof, instead Of cxercis-
ing severity against the Jews, allowed
them to construct bath near the Cath
edral of Moscow.
The Cars Indignation at this action
upon the part Of his confidential friend,
tho governor of Moscow, is said to have
been bOundless and the Prince Dali
goroukoif's enemies were not slow in
taking advantage o. the Cars change
of feeling towards tho Prince, and OK
plantations were demanded of Prince
Dalgoroukoff, These explanations do
not seem to have satisfied the Car, for
shortly afterwards Prince Dolgoroukoff
was relieved of his duties as governor
nf MOSnnn nd MI. -
brother of the Gar, was appointed gov
ernor Of Moscow in place of the dis.
graced Prince. The latter seems to
have left Russia some time lately and
to have died, practically in exile, in
Paris, as announced today.

destruction to many vineyards. besides
overtaking and drowning many fugitives

pursuing element. The cost Of the dos
truction is difficult to estimate, but it
will certainly take years to restore en-
tirely the devastated places.
In Silcsia and West Phalia the storm
was also most appalling.
