Berlin, Jan. 2S.--Your correspondent
is in a position TO state authoritatively
that the Russian government is DESTROYS
of raising a loan in America. Feelers
have been stretched in official circles in
Washington. Three weeks ago the
movement in this direction was begun.
The responses have been discouragiug,
but the Russian government still hopes
to realize the project. Herr Fischel, the
representative OF the German banker
Msndslsohn, who mapges all the Russian
foreign loans, has gone to st. Peters

McCUE.

A dispatch from Charlottesville says
The news of the decision of the court Of
appeals refusing to grant J. Samuel Nc
Cue, wife murderer, anew trial was most
disappointing to the prisoner. he says
he is perfectly resigned to his fate and
will face death on Feb. 10 with brave
heart. McCue expresses himself as
being ready to meet bis God. The pris-
oners spent restless night He has had
only few visitors. His pastor visited
him Thursday and yesterday morning in
bis cell. The condemned man sits
quietly in his chair In deep meditation
and has but little tosay to the few friends
who now visit him. Jailsr Thomas said
yesterday tLat the ex-mayor is very sub
dued and has but little appetite for his
meals. II is said that many Of the ex-
mayors insurance policies. amounting
in all to about $50, 900, will fall due
before the day of McCue's hanging, con-
sequently most of the money will bs
paid 1t is also said that McCue desires
his children to be kept together and
reared and educated BY one Of his brothers
or some member of the McCue family. The
insurance money will be ample to take
care of them aud to educate them. Ali the
children are now at the McCue home
in this city, anil are being cared for by
their aunt, Mrs. Marshall Dinwiddie.
1t is automatically reported that McCue
has requested that, after his execution,
his body be buried by the side of his
sainted mother in the family burying
ground near Greenwood, Abemarle
county.

The ADMINISTRATION has apparently
changed its policy in the matter Of APP
pointing negro offioeholdersin the South.
Some time ago Leon Hill, colored, was
appointed an examining surgeon atBoone-
vile, Mo-, by the Pension Commissioner.
1t was not known at the time that
Hill was colored man. Scores OF pro-
tests began TO come to the Pension
Bureau against the appointment Of Hill.
Hill was asked to resign but declined.
Finally it was decided TO abolish the
Board of Pension Examining Surgeons
at Bonneville in order to get rid OF the
obnoxious colored man. Later a new
board will be created and there will be
no colored man on it. The policy Of
forcing colored officeholders on white
communities in the South is believed by
some to have been definitely abandoned
by the administration.

Truth of Dispatch Questioned.

| London, Jan. 28.-The Paris dispatch
which appeared in St. Petersburg to the
effect that General Kuropatkin had
opened negotiations with Field Marshal
Oyama is given little consideration here,
in view of the fact that General Kuro-
patkin is known to have assumed the Of
fensive. The dispatch was brought to
London last night by the Central News,
and as the Russian censor permitted it
to pass, the agency's deduction was that
his act gave it an air of authority. Few
of the newspapers print the dispatch.
rhe Others completely ignore it.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 28.-Geueral
Sakaroff reports that the Russians cap
sured 30 japanese at the battle Of Sand
pess, Jan. 26.
London, Jan. ga dispatch from

Dollar was seized by japanese in the
Pacific ocean yesterday off the Island
of Hokkaido. The steamer was bound
for Vlsdivostok, with provisions. The
NJ. s. Dollar was formerly the British
steamer Arab, and was cold to the Dollar
Steamship Compa If San Francisco.
She was built at Newcastle on Tyne in
1890.

THE GEAR OF RUSSIA has found il
General KurOpatkin a friend in need.
aud one who has tended in a great
measure to cheer the officials of the Rus
sian empire during the ordeal through
which they passed this week. After
more than three months of inactivity.
the great armies of General Kuropatkin
and Marquis Oyama have again closed
in battle along the Sha river, in Man
churia, and tremendous engagem emit,
which began on Wednesday, is ap-
parently still in progress, nearly one
million men being engaged on both
sides. Kuropatkin claims to have de-
feated the japanese and advanced. This
news, it is said, has thrown a damper
upon the turbulent spirits throughout
the empire, and its effect will, it is be-
loved, be far-reaching.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There lie only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
st;tutional remedies. Deafness Is caused BY an
infamed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed

The Illinois General Assembly will
consider by request Of the State Teach
ers' Association a law providing for the
licensing OF the teachers. The State
association takes the ground that since
physicians, dentists and pharmacists are
required to obtain a license before ad-
ministering or mixing medicines for the
body, the teachers ought not to be al
lowed to administer cures for ignorance
unless able to prove that they are worthy
of the trust. The association asks
especially for law defining the mini
mum of professional training required.

SATURDAY EVENING, JAN. %. 1905

Two SUITS for damages, aggregatiDg
nearly 81. 900, 900, we're filed yesterday
in the United States Circuit Court for
eastern Pennsylvania against the Penn
sylyania Railroad The plaintiffs are
the Webster Coal and Coke Company
and the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke
Company. II is charged that the Penn
sylyania Railroad ARBITRARILY assumed
abe right to estimate and determine the
capacity to produce coal of the mines OF
the plaintiff" also that the company
"unlawfully, unjustly and unrea-
sonably neglected and refused to fur
uish plaintiff with the number OF cars
which it was entitled 70 receive" under
the railroads allotment, while it pra-
eticed favoritism and discrimination in
his regard, to the advantage of the
Serwind-W Coal Mining Company
nd the Keystone Coal and Coke Com
INV also that said company allowed,
coal hauled over private mines rail-
roads and delivered to it, special re-
bate or drawback of Is cents ton to the
Altoona Coal and Coke Company and the
Glen White Coal and Coke Company,
and refused to allow the same to the
plaintiffs. These illegal practices, it is
alleged continued as late as Nov. 4, 1904.
These suits, will, it is expected, be the
forerunners of many more. For years
coal shippers have protested in vain
against what they declared was syste-
matte favoritism in car service and in
secret rebate. The truth of the above
charges will have to be established by
the plaintiffs in court but that there
has long been reason to believe that
such conditions do often exist is ap-
parent.

Do Not suppress a { ough.

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only symptom ofsome disease,
and the disease is what you should cure,
then the cough will stop of itself. The
most common cause of coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform, opium, etc., are used for
that purpose, but they do not cure the
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves it by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
INSTRUCTED the breathing and allaying
the irritation and tickling in the throat.

tualIy and permanently cures the cold as

Today's Telegraphic News
CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2S.-Everythipg
is quiet here this morning and there
remains no trace of the disturbances.
1t is believed that the government will
be very lenient with the prisoners taken
during the troubles. Business is gen.
orally resumed.
London, Jan. 28.-Director of Police
Lohukhim, of St. Petersburg, acting for
Governor General Trepotf, wired your
correspondent today that fears of further
troubles in the Russian capital are at an
end The factories are resuming, he
says, though there will be some delay in
a general resumption. The situation at
Moscow, be asserts, is not at all threat,
ening. There are IT, 800 men out on
strike, but there have been no serious
collisions between the men and the
troops. The Cossacks, in one case, had
to use force to dispense q crowd, but
they did so without killing or woundiug
any one. 1t is noticeable that the
Director of Police makes no mention Of
several encounters which have been
reported during the week, especially the
one at Riga, on Thursday, in which a
number were killed or wounded. The
telegram is an Official document, and
hence naturally, puts the best face on
affairs that is possible.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 2S.-The police
suddenly became very active last even
ing, and searched numerous houses
They also made many arrests.
1t is stated that the council of minis
tiers had decided to authorize a minor
state of siege for the short period, under
certain restrictions, if there is not an
immediate resumption of work in the
provinces.

of Moscow state that there are still about
20, 900 men on strike there. All the

1t is said that 1000 persons were
killed and wounded during the distur-
Dances at Sandepas.
London, Jan. 2S.-The Exchange
Telegraph Company has dispatch from
st. Petersburg, stating that in the re-
cent conflicts at Warsaw two persons
have been killed and seven others
wounded.
Riga, Russia, Jan. 2S.-No further
collisions between the workers and the
troops have occurred. The situation re-
mains to large degree the same, though
there have been some assumptions of
work. The trains have been stopped as
there are no workers to operate
them. The gas works were operated by
soldiers. Bands of excited workmen
paraded the streets early this morning,
while the agitation among the students
increases. They have already held
several meetings at which revolutionary
songs have been sung, and at one meet
lug black flag was hoisted over the
Institute buildings, which was inscribed:
"Glory to the dead; woe to the assas-
SINS" No newspapers appeared today.
1t is announced that the total killed.
or who have since died from wounds
received during Thursday en- counter, is

The Virginia debt question came up
in the West Virginia legislature yester-
day when Governor White presented a
special message to both branches, an
nouncing that the committee from Vir-
ginia, headed by Attorney-General
Anderson, had called on him officially
with certain documents setting forth
West Virginia's liability to part of Vir-
ginia's ante-oelum debt The message
was accompanied by the documents,
which were read in the House, despite
opposition, and then referred to the fl
nance committee, similar action being
taken in the Senate. In view Of the
fact that the present Legislature, as
we'll as former bodies, have passed resO-
lutions disclaiming any liability on the
part of West Virginia to any of the
Virginia debt, it is not likely that any
action will be taken. 1t is hoped that
some means will be found by which
West Virginia will be made honest con-
corning the debt matter, despite her de-
termination to be dishonest.
