Washington, June 20.--Count Cassini.

Washington for New York on Sunday,

recent agitation in this country, grow
ing out of the events at kishineff, has
put him under severe strain during
the past few weeks, but he is now re-
turning to Russia much relieved and
with n sense of some personal salts

latons between his government and
that of the United States, which he has
sought in every way TO foster during
the five years he has represented the
