them from sundry places in the anthracite
regions over the LehiGh Valley railroad to Perth
Amboy. \. j., was subjected to higher rates
than the coal sent by the Lehgl Valley Coal
Company. The matter was before the interstate
commission. which decided in favor of Coke

The Russian Minister of Finance VIII Prob.
ably Soon Be Allowed to Retire.

ffOO.
ably Soon Be Allowed to Retire.
1t is learned on good authority that the pres
tige Of NJ. vishnegradsky, the Russian minister
OF finance, has Of late been greatly shaken and
that he has become exceedingly unpopular
among the merchants and other commercial
classes, who now perceive that the temporary
Improvement in the finances has been effected
at their expense. The health Of this minister
is also much shattered, and there is little doubt
that he will retire if the car gives him pcr-
mission. The failure of the crops has been q
terrible blow to his schemes, and many of his
finest plans have been shattered by this ma
tional calamity.
The failure of the crops has not been uni
versal. In the Caucasus the harvest was so
abundant that grain is still rottng at the sta
tons for want of rolling stock to carry it away.
The government has tried to remedy this draw
back by sending over 1000 trucks south, but
these will not be sufficient.
There is much reason to suppose that there
Will be famine next year also. The autumn
wheat has been seriously injured by the rain
and 1t Is very probable that the spring crops
Will turn out no better than they did this year.
Indeed the outlook in Russia is very gloomy
and every one Is preparing for very sad
winter
The political horizon is also much overcast,
especially since the car passed through Ger
many without cndcavoring to return the visit
of Emperor William. 1t was at first supposed
that this was due to family reasons and the sick
ness Of the Grand Duke George. There are too
many grounds FOR supposinG that tine visit was
not returned for political and financial consid-
crations. II is stated in Russian official circles
that had it not been for letter received by the
car from the russian minister of finance the
former would have me. the German emperor
rs was his original intention. In this letter. it
is said, VI. Nisnnegradsky urged the car not to
visit the Germgn emperor, as such an act would
not only give ofscnse to the French govern
ment but would be disastrous to the loan
which the government was raising in Paris. In
any case this consideration seems to have had
great weight with the car.

As was predicted at the conclusion Of the
trial of the archbishop of AK at Paris, the
questions arising from that trial threaten to
make trouble for the government. French
cabinet meeting WAS held yesterday for the
purpose of considering the impending ques-
tions growing out of the attitude Of the clergy.
1t was decided that NJ. Fallierres, minister of
justice and public worship, should announce to
the chamber of deputies that the government
intends to keep the bishops and clergy within
the limits of their functions. but that there was
no question Of the separation Of church and
state.

LAUNCHING THE MACHIAS.
1t " as the Most Memorable Event on the
Eank. of the Kennebec.

Eank. of the kennebec.
Bath. Me-, was filled with visitors to view the
launching of the United States gun boat Machias
yesterday afternoon from the yard of the Bath
iron works. Every possible point from which
a sight of the first iron craft to be launched
into the Kennebec could be obtained was taken
long before the event. and cameras took snap
shots from every side. The gathering was by
far the largest that ever witnessed the launch
ing of vessel in the state.
Secretary Tracy was unable to be present.
Miss Ethel, the daughter of Gen. Hyde. broke
the bottle of champagne over the bow and
christened the new gun boat the Machias as
the ways were posted and she began to glide
slowly into the Kennebec. Two tugs took her
i'll charge and she soon back at the iron

A RADICAL CURE
BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Statement of Mr. &. NJ. Cyphers
Of 2OS q st. NV.

For fifteen years my wife has suffered more
or less from bronchial asthma. and for the last
three years her case became so very bad that
she was unable to leave her room during the
greater part of that time; indeed often con-
fined to her bed.
Her physician exhausted every known rem
edy for relief, called in consultation a throat
specialist, and even had the Koch lymph in
jected, but without any material benefit. Hear
ing of DR.. Lighthilrs success in diseases of the
respiratory organ she applied to him for treat
ment. and am happy to state that relief came
most promptly. From the very beginning
marked Improvement manifested itself. gain
ing from day to day. Her breathing became
natural, the troublesome cough left her, she
could sleep all night undisturbed, the distress
ing asthma disappeared. her buoyant spirit, so
long depressed. returned again, and she feels
now more like her former self
/ am confident that this statement is joyfuI
news TO her many friends and l hope will bene-
fit other sufferers from this most distressing
disease.
