TO MEET U. s. COMPETITION.

 Hts Plan.
 Rome, April 13.--Count von Schwerin Loewitz, a leading member of the Reichstag and president of the Ger man agricultural council, arrived here to-day to attend the European agricul-s tural congress. It has been stated that he will present a proposition to the, agricultural congress for European agricolo-commercial zollverein to meet American competition. The count said to the Associated Press correspondent tonight: A..
 My proposition does not exactly con- template an European zollverein, but merely an understanding between the European countries to put themselves in a position to safeguard their agri- cultural interests through a combined system of protective tariffs. l shall submit my proposition at to-morroW',s session of the congress and 1t will ex- plain my ideas. My scheme is based on differences in the natural conditions of production which will have to be leveled by pro- tectienist duties. These differences are considerably less between the European states, especially the Central states, than between the European states and the over sea countries. The unequal competition of the non-European pro- duct is growing daily owing to the elimination in the expenses of trans portation from the non-European courl- tries. especially America and the Brit ish colonies. understand that the economic superiority of large industrial territories tends towards economic coal ition. hence, a coalition of the Euro pean countries is absolutely necessary. The efforts in this direction have failed hitherto, because no government wish- ed to abandon it's independence in this field in favor of such a union, and 1t is also difficult to agree on common tariff.
 Protection is needed in vary propor- tions in the different countries and a common tariff demands a common ad- ministration. All this is difficult to es- tablish. Besides. an economic coalition requires certain political coalition, which is far From likely. Hence. the idea of q European customs union must
 be renounced. and instead it must be
 recommended that in concluding com mercial treaties among the European states, a. clause be introduced whereby goods exported from. one country to another shall enjoy special low duties
 which shall not be applied to the same goods coming from non-European coun- tries. This would prepare way to the future formation of European customs
 union.'

Trtai spin But No Wace-Chailenger
 Carries canvns Well.
 Weymouth, England, April 13.-- Shamrock Is spinnaker boom, which was carried away by a steam yacht which fouled the old cup challenger during the race with Shamrock III. off here Saturday, has been spliced, but it has been decided to postpone further contests under actual racing conditions between the two boats until new spar can be fitted. .aA @
 A trial spin between the Shamrocks was arranged for to-day, but their de- parture was delayed while awaiting the moderation of a hard northerly wind. Most of the forenoon was occupied with altering the chaliengers mainsail, which had stretched considerably.
 The two yachts left their anchorage at about il o'clock this morning and fetched out to start a trial race, but the wind, even inside the breakwater, was harder and mors squally than anything the challenger had previously experi- enced. The boats staggered under their lower canvas alone. Outside the breakwater the conditions were worse, and after consultation it was decided to abandon the trial, owing to the risk of carrying away the yachts spars.
 The brief sail of the two Shamrocks to-day showed that the Shamrock III. is able to stand we'll to her canvas. In the hard breeze she appeared to pull more water than formerly. This, how ever, is not surprising, considering her speed.
 The significant point of this first trial in a really hard blow suggests that MT. Fife has gone beyond the safe limit in his desire to produce light spars. The challenger's main boom is palpably too light for the nainsail, the pull which the boom gave spelling the set of the whole mainsail, which showed double belly divided by hard, full ridge. The main sheet streps will be rearranged for distributing the strain, which, it is believed, will stiffen the boom.
 Sir Thomas Lioton5 has cabled for Shamrock HIS spare spinnaker boom to be sent to England by the next steamer.

 Looped Over End of Bowsprit.
 Bristol, R. l., April 13.-With her steel mast towering aloft, her bowsprit ill it's station, and the martingale and port and starboard whiskers in their place, the new yacht Reliance is fast rounding into shape for her first trial spin. Even with the excellent prog ress made to-day. however. probably little less than two weeks will be re- quired to place the boat in readiness for her first run under her own canvas. Captain Woodbury Kane, close friend of c. Oliver Iselin, manager of the Re- liance, said to-day that the first trial probably would take place Saturday, April 25. just two weeks after the yacht was launched.
 The n1ainmast stepped at the boat shops this forenoon by Rigger Billnan of Boston and his men in record time. MT. Iselin, Captain Kane and Captain Nat Herreshoff were spectators.
 The triggers accomplished a. great deal after the mainmast had been stepped, setting up both spreader arms and fitting them in their sockets. be- sides fitting the bowsprit in it's sta tion. The martingale and port and starboard whiskers also were put in place and the wire shrouds were looped over the end of the bowsprit and bob stays made ready to be attached to the bobstay plates. A great deal of work yet remains to be done on mainmast shrouds. however, and triggers will be at work. all this week before the task is completed. .
 Lieutenant Tobin, inventor of the metal used in plating the new yacht, was a visitor to the Herreshoff shop to- day.

Bristol, R. l., April 15.-The steel main mast of the Reliance was success fully stepped at the boatshops here to- day. and the work of rigging was we'll under way before night.
