The progress of modern medical science has led to the discovery of suc- cessful methods of treatment for most of those maladies once regarded as in- curable. Asthma has always been re- garded as belonging to this obstinate class, baffling the skill of the greatest physicans. Thousands of sufferers know by their own experience that lit- tle if any relief has been afforded them by the methods heretofore employed. Dr. Rudolph Schiifmann, the noted physician, has, after a life-long study of Asthma and kindred diseases, dis- covered a remedy which not only gives instant relief in the severest cases of Asthma, Hay-Fever and Bronchitis, but has actually cured thousands whose cases had been pronounced in- curable. So complete is his confidence in his remedy, that to overcome the skepticism of the public growing out of the failure of other remedies,Dr. Schiif- mann requests this paper to announce that for the next three days he of- fers a liberal sample box of “Schiif- mann’s Asthma Cure” free of charge to all persons applying at E. P. Weed’s drug store, 38 Wall St. " - ”He believes that an actual test will be the most convincing and in fact the only way to overcome the natural prej- udice of thousands of Asthmatics who have heretofore sought relief in vain. Persons living out of town will receive a package free, post-paid, by writing direct to Dr. R. Schifi'mann, 315 Rosa- bel St., St. Paul, Minn., before Sept. 30th, as no free samples can be ob- tained after that date. Send simply your name and address plainly written on a postal card.

TROOPS AT CAMP MEADE. ‘ Mastering Ont Orders. Sickness and Deaths in Camp. Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa., Sept. 23.——The Seventh Ohio started yester~ day for Columbus, where they will be mustered out. This is the last move- ment away from camp. All of the oth- er regiments will be“ kept, with possi- bly.0ne exception, that of the Four- teenth Pennsylvania, which, it is ru- mored, will be ordered to Pittsburg for mustering out. I Colonel Glenn, however, says that he knows nothing of the muster out of his command. Surgeon Charles R. Parke of Scran- ton has been placed on trial before a general court martial charged with re- fusing to accept descriptive lists from patients of the division hospital.

Pekin, Sept. 23.——An imperial edict just issued definitely announces that the emperor of China has resigned his power to the empress (dowager em- press) who has ordered the ministers to deliver to her in future their official re- ports. . Shanghai, Sept. 23.——A local rumor is to the effect that the emperor of China is dead. No details are obtainable, but it is“said that the gates of Pekin are closed. Yesterday it was reported from Pe- kin that the empress dowager had re- gained her ascendancy over the em—. peror and that she was now practically ruler of the empire. The report was meagre in detail and nothing beyond the bare statement was given. A dispatchto the London Times says ' that the dowager empress has assumed. charge of the government and"that shef. will attend all the meetings of 'the Tsung-li-yamen, be present at. all an- diences, see all memorials and approve every edict that is issued. This according to the dispatch means a virtual restoration of the regency and the - early reinstatement of Li Hung Chang is consequently expected. Alger at Chattanooga. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 23.—Secre— tary Alger and party reached this city Wednesday night from Knoxville. The party was met at thte depot by the mayor of the city and a large number- of citizens, and were conducted to the city auditorium, where three thousand people had gathered to meet and re- ceive them. Secretary Alger made a short speech thanking the people for their courteous reception. He said, with reference to charges of mismanagement: “That some mistakes have occurred I admit, but that the medical depart- ment, thte comniis‘sary department and the quartermaster’s department have done their full duty I affirm.” Miss Davis' Body Removed. Narragansett Pier, R. 1., Sept. 23.— The sorrowful journey of Mrs. Jeffer- son Davis to Richmond, Va., with the body of her daughter, Miss Winnie Dan vis, was undertaken under favorable circumstances at 10.20 yesterday morn- ing. .

Atlantic Coaling Station. Washington, Sept. 23.—Rea.r Admiral Belknap, retired, who lives in Brook- line, Mass, is in Washington in con- sultation with the naval authorities in regard to the establishment of coaling stations along the Atlantic coast, from Maine to Port Royal, S. C. He was president of the board which examined sites and.made a report on the chain of stations which the navy department believe should be main- tained. It is possible that Secretary Long’s estimates will contain the item of coal- ing stations. The Striking Shoe Lancers. Brockton, Mass, Sept. 23.—The strik- ing shoe lasters were still maintaining their firm attitude yesterday, and the manufacturers generally seemed equal- ly determined in the fight over prices.

CUBA Gen. Lee Not to Have the Chief Command. NO MORE SOUTHERN CAMPS His Ambition to Load the Occupying Forces. Gen “'ade Likely to Be Chosen for the Important Post. Gen. Wheeler’s Command. Bryan’s Political Regiment Washington, Sept. 23.—General Fitz- hugh Lee will probably not be selected to command the army of occupation in Cuba. The military advisers of the president are of the opinion that a regular army general should be chosen for this important task, and in this. connection General James F. Wade is mentioned. He is an officer of experi- ence and thoroughly fitted for the place. He is at present at the head of the Havana commission of evacua- tion. General Lee's ambition to command the force is well known here, and has enlisted much popular sympathy. He has applied formally for the detail, and is quoted as saying to his friends that if he fails in his object he will re- sign. He is destined, according to pre- sent plans, to have a. subordinate com- mand in the Cuban army, and it is stated at the department that no argu- ment or persuasion on the part of his friends is likely to increase the impor- tance of his detail. Not a few of the regular army officers would be likely to resent the assignment of a volunteer to the command of 50,000 or 60,000 troops when high officers of the regular ser- vice are still awaiting duty at the front. It has not yet been decided where General Wheeler’s cavalry division shall be concentrated. It is probable that it will be encamped at or near Huntsville, Ala., until it is needed in Cuba. Colonel William Jennings Bryan was at the war department yesterday mor— ning. He will have no trouble in get- ting his resignation accepted, if be de- sires it. His regiment is regarded as of no more military value than any po- litical organization whose members wear a uniform and carry rifles instead of torchlights. _ The reports regarding the command are not particularly flattering to the" regiment, and it .will probably be am- ong the first of the next lot to be mus- - :téred out. - - - There seems to" bean irreconcilable difference of View between Colonel Bry-- an and his superior officers in the army as to the outcome of his visit. Bryan remarked to a friend after seeing the assistant secretary of war and General Corbin that there had been no satisfactory results from his inter- view. u On the other hand, General Corbin made the assertion. that Bryan had not broached the subject of mustering out his men, but had simply called and paid his respects. , To a correspondent’s question how he enjoyed military campaigning as compared with political campaigning, Bryan replied that his military expe— rience was a subject he could not now discuss. . - _ General Wheeler’s acceptance of'the command of the cavalry corps is dis- tinctly conditioned upon his continu- ing with the troops only so long as may be necessary to establish them on the island, when he is to be permitted to resign and resume his seat in Con- gress. The war department has decided to establish no more large camps in the South, except one in Columbia, S. C., which is a famous health resort. The camps at Nashville and Huntsville will be retained, but that at Lexington will be broken up. _ At Outs With Italy. _ Colon, Colombia, Sept. 23.——Advices received here from Bogota, the capital of Colombia, say that all relations be— tween Colombia and Italy have been severed owing to the action of the Italian government in the Corruti af- fair, which the Colombian Officials consider arbitrary and in violation of the treaty of vamity of 1892, which was thereby annulled. News received here from Carthage- na says it is rumored there that Co— lombia agrees to pay the claim of Punchard, McTaggart & Co., of 10,- 000,000 francs as a result of a breach of the Antiguian railroad contract. Seven Klondike" Lost. Seattle, Sept. 23.—-It is believed here that seven eastern men, who started early last spring for the Klondike over- land througb the Nelson and Pease river regions in Canada, have perished in the marshes. They have not reached either of the posts beyond the marshes, nor return- ed to their starting point. Frederick Short of Chicago is the only man whose name is known. The Quebec Conference. Quebec, Sept. 23.—The international conference met yesterday at 10.30 and adjourned after an hour’s sitting. The Atlantic fisheries question was under consideration. The commissioners ate luncheon yes- terday on board the H. M. S. Renown. Senator Faulkner, who replaces Sen- ator Gray on the commission, arrived at noon. Gen. Jackson Cannot Serve. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 23.—General Jackson has sent a telegram to Presi- dent McKinley thanking him for his tender of a position on the commission to investigate the conduct of the war, and expressing regre that pressing pri- vatet business compels him to decline the honor. ' The Paris Peace Conference. London, Sept. 23.——The Daily Mail says that the Rothschilds will loan Spain four million pounds or five mil- lion pounds on the security of Alma— den quicksilver mines, when the treaty of peace shall have been signed. Five Days for Argentina. Buenos Ayres, Sept. 23.—El Tempo says Chili has given Argentina five days in.which to accept unrestricted arbitration of the boundary dispute be- tween the two countries.
