gagged in the politics of Switzerland
ever since his youth. He was chosen
a member of the canton council in 1868,
and in 1879 was sent to the prefecture
of the council. From 1869 until 1873
he was German member of the national
council. lie then retired from public
life and devoted himself to his pro-
fession till 1870, when he was reelected
to the council. lie was president of the
council from 1882 until 1898. Ten years
ago DR.. Deucher was elected to the fed
cral council of his country, and this
year was made vice president of that
body, which is equivalent TO vice presi-
dent of the republic. Switzerland al
ways rewards its vice presidents by pro-
noting them to the highest office, and
all the Swiss knew that the doctor
would again fill the Office he so well
filled before. AS president he retains
the direction of the department of agri
culture and industry as II federal coun-
cilor, and the enlargement of his Office
will serve to assist him material y in the
functions of these important internal
services. DR.. Deucher is a very patri-

42ed for Lighting. Heretofore it has
been necessary to resort to large bat
terics Weighing from 60 to 100 pounds
for this purpose, but the inventor has
managed to make a 15-pound battery
supply Il light for eight hours without
any perccptible diminution in it's pow
cr. This battery can be recharged by
a few blGestone jas if a central station
is convenient, but it can be more quick
" done at one of these generating
plants at n cost which makes the cleo
iric light quite as cheap as an inferior
oil lamp.
Another noteworthy feature of the
lamp is an ingenious method of estab-
Fishing the connection between the
lamp and the battery without the neces-
sity of making the wire connections.
The battery once fixed in it's place un-
der the seat remains there until its
power is spent. The lamp, however
FOR the purpose of protection from
thieves or accident, may be taken off

IS put into its place the current is

Port it. If desired the lamp can be fixed
on the tongue of the carriage instead
of the dashboard.

Was Sent to the Coronation
at Moscow.

EfSe renewed announcement OF the
extra ordinary terms of the treaty about
to be made between Russia and China
gives additional interest to the person
al part of a remarkable story of Rus
sian ascendancy in the Chinese en-
piTe. Prince Lobanotf had and deserved
much of the credit for the great tri-
umphs of diplomacy which Russia won
and is still winning in the far east. \
great deal of it is due, however. to the
astuteness and wonderful influence of
Count Cassini, the Russian minister at
Peliing. His power over the real heads
Of the Chinise government is astonish-
ing and ineXplicable. lie has used ii to
deliver the great Mongoian empire into

sal it will become, unless all signs of
the times are misleading.
Count Cassini had, as he supposed.
finished his mission at Peking when the
war with Japan broke out. lie was
about to return to ST. Petersburg, and
his successor had been actually named.
lie resumed his post when hostilities
began, and waited for the great oppor
tunity for Russia which the negotia-
tion of peace was sure to bring. lie
urged upon his government, with all
the emphasis he possessed, that the
Russian policy should be that of q
friend and protector of China. Lohan-
off adopted that view, and all the world

and improving. The lack of school ia
cilitcs in the country districts, the hor-
ribe conditions existing in the Eastern
pcnitentiary, the duty of making a new
legislative and congressional apportion-
ment and a law to prevent the wholesale
purchase of tax receipts by political par
ties are commented on.

DR.. ADOlPH DEUCHER.
Ec Has just Been Elected President of
the Swiss Republic.

DR.. Adolph Deucher, the newly elect
ed president of the republic of Switzer-
land, does not go into this important
Office as tyro. The doctor once before
served as the chief executive of the
stanch little republic in the Alps. That
was six years ago, and his administra-
ton was pleasing and satisfactory to
the Swiss. lie is a seasoned statesman
and understands the needs of his coun-
try thoroughly. The president of the
Swiss is elected yearly by the congress
Of the nation--thus giving more plas-
ticity to the executive department in
point of ability and worthiness than
is given in most republics. DIR. Deucher

Gems are generally bought and sold
by the weight called carat, which Is
equal to about 3.1Gs troy grains. 1t is
usually divided, however, into four dia-
mond or pearl grains, each of which is
1895 of true grain. The weight of the
carat formerly differed slightly in diff
ferent countries, and this diversity
finally led a syndicate of Partisan jew
elers, goldsmiths and gem dealers, in
1871, to propose a standard carat. This
was subsequently, confirmed by an
agreement between the diamond mer-
chants of London, Paris and Amster-
dam, fixing a uniform weight for the
diamond carat.

power in the upper councils Of the en-
pire. The Chinese emperor had sent
Hwang TAIN as a special envoy to ST.
Petersburg, while the war was still in
progress, to convey his condolences
upon the death of Alexander III. ami
his fluctuations to the new emperor.
The envoy made "A good impression at
st. Petersburg, and, as the date was
fixed for the coronation festivities at
Moscow, Hwang Tain was named as
the Chinese representative at that cere-
mony. Count Cassini desired that Lii
Hung Chang should be selected for this
mission and that he should be charged
also with more important prerogatiyes
tlan those of n mere bearer of congrat-
ulations. Ii Hung Chang was then al
most in disgrace and was living the life
of private citizen, practically, at Pc
king. Nevertheless, Count Cassni was
able to secure the recall OF Hwang Ia
jim and the restoration of Ii Hung
Chang to rank and favor.
The treaty which Count Cassini dc
sired was drafted before Ii Hung
Chang started upon his long journey
last spring, and there is little doubt
that he carried it with him to Moscow.
1t was there debated with Prince Lo-
banoff, and although n denial at this
time that any treaty had been agreed
upon was true enough, technically,
there is little doubt that as far as LIS

because Of the mysterious manner in

One episode occurred in connection
with the Pacific Railroad Funding bill.
that was this week defeated by the
house. that in the old days would have
resulted in a duel, or perhaps two. Rep
resentative johnson, of California, the
only member from that state who sup
ported the funding bill, made an un-
printable speech in which he made UNI
printable charges against W. r, Hearst,
whose New York and San Francisco
papers had made a hot fight against the
bill. For this he was called IA coward
by Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin,
and in addition to being called coward
by Representative Maguire, of Cali
fornia, Johnson was reminded of his
having been convicted in Syracuse, n.
Y, some time ago for forgery. This last
speech was too much for the house and
it was ordered to be struck out of the
Record. Instead Of challenging one or
both of the men who had called him a
coward, as the old-timers would have
done, johnson merely dared them to do
it again.
