RUSSIANS SURPRISED.
When They Learned of the Schwab
Ship Contracts.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2s.-The news
of the conclusion of the arrangement be-
tween Charles NJ. Schwab and the Russian
admiralty for the reconstruction of the Rus
sian fleet contained in these dispatches was
telegraphed back to st. Petersburg from
New York and published here this after
noon, being the first information on the
subject furnished to the Russian public.
The news created great sensation among
the agents of foreign shipyards who had
been waiting continuously in the corridors
Of the admiralty building. When the facts
became known to them they descended upon
the admiralty in a body, demanding de-
tails and particulars of the mysterious
method of construction by which Mr.
Schwab proposed to build ships 20 per cent
higher in efficiency than anything now
affoat, but they obtained little satisfaction.
The few superior officers who took part in
the secret negotiations naturally declined to
talk and the inferior officers could only ex-
plain their lack of knowledge.

JUDICIARY GUARDIANSHIP.
Senator Clark of Wyoming Is the
Ranking Member.

There is some speculation over the chair
manship of the Senate committee on judi
ciary, one of the important committees of
that body, made vacant by the death OF
Senator Platt Senator Clark of Wyoming
Is ranking member of the committee. and
II he insists upon it will doubtless get the
assignment from the committee on commit
tees at the next session. Senator Nelson
of Minnesota and Senator Spooner Of Wis
consin are also on the committee. but sena-
torial precedent will relegate them to sec
ond and third choice.
Senator Piatt's death leaves a vacancy on
the finance committee. He was the stout
supporter of the high tariff ideas OF Al
drich and New England on that important
committee and the high tariff element viii
undoubtedly demand that they be again
given representation. Senator Gallinger Of
New Hampshire and Senator Proctor Of
Vermont are mentioned in that connection.
