Pittsburg, Aug 30 In special copy
right cable interview from Havre
France, Percfval Phillips, a staff cor
respondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch
says:
s'President Charles M sohwab OF
the United States Steel corporation
arrived on In Lorraine, proceeding to
Paris by rail, thence to Aix-les- Bains
where he will take the rest cure for
a month at least. Mr. SchWab has nc
plans beyond this. He is greatly i'm
proved in health by the voyage.
Il boarded La Lorraine on a special
tug off Cape De Heve at o'clock this
morning. Mr. Schwab was leaning
on the port rail OF the promenade deck,
anxiously waiting papers and letters.
He rose before s and was walking the
deck when others were asleep. I was
the first to greet him. He looked care
worn, but ate hearty breakfast. Al
$3.50 he was diving through mass of
correspondence, meanwhile giving bag
gage orders in the same breath.
His energy was the marvel of all

that he would leave Scotland on No

Pittsburg as his destination

viewers and hid in his stateroom after
he had consented to answer the follow

Mr. schwab received several cable
dispatches from New York and Pitts
burg on his arrival. All the passen-
gers say he was in great spirits during
the voyage. A retinue of servants ac-
comDanied him.
A considerable crowd assembled ON
the pier to see the steel trust president
debark among them several municipal
officials. Mr. Schwab was bored bv
the hero worship and constant intro-
auctions He said he swas glad to as-
