U. S. AGAIN TO THE FRONT

Charles NJ. schwab's Negotiations with
 Russian Admiralty Result in PractI- cal Conclusion of an Arrangement for Construction of a Number of BnttIe-

 ships-yessels VIII Startle the World.
 St. Petersburg. April 26-11:55 p. m.- American superiority over foreign ri vals again triumphs in the complete success which has crowned the visit of Charles M. Schwab to St. Petersburg. Mir. Sehwab's negotiations with the Russian admiralty have resulted in the practical conclusion of an arrangement for the construction of number of for imidable line of battleships of a type which probably will startle the world. MT. Schwab will leave St. Petersburg tomorrow. The details of the con- struction of the vessels remain to be worked out, but in addition to those which will be built in the United States it is quite likely that a yard will be constructed at Baltic port to be manned by Russian workmen, but un- der American engineering and mechan- ical supervision. the Russian admiralty being extremely anxious to utilize the rehabilitation of the navy for the en- of the shipbuilding indus try at home in order to eventually rem der the country independent of foreign yards.
 The admiralty has accepted MT. Schwabs propositions strictly on their merits, he having convinced the author ities that he can produce for Russia warships vastly superior to anything now af1oat or at present projected by any other government. They will be monster 160O0-ton vessels of enormous horsepower and of a peculiar type, combining the notwithstanding pow CT of the battleship with the speed and wide radius of action of cruisers. They will be delivered fully equipped as to arrnor and ordnance.
 The remarkable advance in naval architecture and construction which these American built ships will mark is well guarded secret, but it Is be- leived it will involve the use of nickel steel of greater tensile strength, which in machinery, boilers, frames, etc, will give greater power with decreased weight. Mir. Schwab guarantees to ere ate vessels with twenty per centum higher efficiency than any now existing. It is understood, however, that not all the ships will be built by the Bethle- hem company, as the time for delivery is factor, Russia desiring that the ships be turned over as early as possi- ble. While the Bethlehem company will supply the arnlor and ordnance, other American yards, therefore, will profit in the construction of the hulls. This also is in accordance with the wish of the admiralty, the Russian authorities in placing a large contract. having nc desire to arouse hostility among rivai commercial interests in America, the aim being not only to the advantage ot American genius in building up the Rus. sian navy but distinctly to cultivate closer commercial relations between the two countries.
 It is understood that no arrangements have as yet been concluded with French or German builders for the ships which will be constructed in those i countries.

MANHANsET BURNED.
Sinks at Dock at new London--Win be
Raised.

New London, Jan. 20 fire Of rnys-
terious origin burned the steamer Man
hanset, owned by the Long Island rail-
road, at Central dock this morning and
she sank ais the result Of the great
amount of water poured into her in an
attempt to check the flames. The Man
hanset was an old steamer, having
been built in 1879, and registered 154
tons. Although her superstructure and
the interior Of her house was consid-
erably burned she is not beyond repair,
and it is suggested that an effort to
raise her will be made this week. t
is thought that the fire started around
the boiler room, but this is net certain
and an investigation as to the cause
will be made All the crew were on
board and they fought hard to put
the fire out, but were unsuccessful and
had not the steamer sunk she doubt
less would have burned to the waters
edge. She was light, having unloaded
all baggage a few hours before the fire
broke out. The Manhanset piled be-
tween this port, Sag Harbor, Shelter Is
land and Greenport, carrying both
freight and passengers. No estimate of
the loss through the fire has been
made.

sCALDED TO DEATH IN BATH.
Two Young Men shut in steam Room
ana Forgotten.

New York, Jan. 30. in the
steam room Of a Russian bath house in
Hester street two young men were
scalded to death to-day before their
plight was realized by the attendants.
Evidence that both had made frenzied
efforts to attract attention was afford
ed by cuts and bruises on both the
bodies and by blood stained scratches
in the plaster of the walls against
which they had groped in their efforts
to find an outlet.
The victims were Abraham Paster-
max and Peter Roos, both tailors living
in Norfolk street.
Abraham Stern. proprietor of the
bath house. and five of the attendants
were arrested and held pending an In
vestigation. From their incoherent ac-
counts the police gathered that Roos
and Pasternak entered the bath last
night and after being conducted into
the steam room were left there and
were evidently forgotten, until their
bodies were found to-day. There was a
gas Jet in the room, but it was un-
lighted and in the darkness the men
were unable to find the door.

THIBEFAN INDEMNITY.
Strong Friction Between Col Young
husband and Government.


London, Jan. ga volumincus blue
book issued on Thibetan affairs has i'm
usual interest as revealing strong fric-
tion between the government and Col
onel Younghusband concerning indem-
nifty, which Younghusband fixed at 3d.
100000, payable in seventy five annual
installments, which would have re-
suited lin British occupation Of the
Chumbi valley for seventy-fv years.
Mr.. Broderick, secretary of state for
India. on September 13 telegraphed sug-
gestion reduction to S1,250,0O0. COL
onel Younghusband..s response to this
and other government protests strong
ly deprecated alteration Of the treaty
as tending to defeat the object of the
mission. Finally, a lengthy correspon-
dence between Secretary Broderick and
Lord Curzon of Kedleston, the viceroy
of India, ended in the government ac-
cepting the situation as regards the 3d.
100000 indemnity. but refusing to per-
init Of the occupation of the Chumbi
valley beyond three years and protest.
ing that Younghusband had framed the
convention in defiance Of express in
structions, the governments policy be-
ing to avoid interference in the internal
affairs of Thibet. and stipulating that
should the Thibetans break the treaty
it would be necessary to reconsider the
governments policy.

Chicago Police Chief Says He wm Soon
be Caught.

\ Chicago, Jan. 2sInformation as to
the probable whereabouts of Johann
Hoch, the German. who is said to have,
had twenty wives, and who is wanted
in Chicago on a plea Of wife murder,
was received to-day from all parts Of
the country. The best clew came from
New York, where a man answering
Hoch's description asked for transpor-
tation at the offices Of a German steam
ship line. No Chicago detective has
been sent to-, New York, but the New
York authorities have been requested
to watch all the eastern ports to pre-
vent the escape of the alleged bigamist
should he attempt to return to his ma
tive country. 1T will be but a short
time now until we have Hoch in GUS
tody," said Chief of Police O'Neil to-
night. I'VE have communicated with.
the police of nearly every large city in
the country, and requested them to be
on tn elookout for the fugitive. He
will have to be pretty shreWd to escape
the net we have thrown around him"

BRIDGEPORT HAS A
$4,000 ROBBERY
THIEF ENTERS BEDROOM OF
MRS. JOHANNA LUMPKIN.
Takes United States Bonds, Jewelry
and Cash from Folding Bed-Com-
pany Entertained During the After
noon--Servant Excused for thelDay-
Mystery Surrounds Whole Aifair-No
Clue to the Robber.

Bridgeport, Jan. 2s.-one of the most
successful and complicated robheries
known in the historyof this city took
place this afternoon or evening at the
house of Mrs. Johanna B. Lumpkin, 1872
East Washington avenue, when bonds.
money and jeweiry to the value of $R,-
900 were taken. All this wealth was in
a chamois bag, was hid in folding bed
in Mrs. Lumpkin's bedroom, and was
spirited away as mysteriously as if by
Inecromancy. There is no trace of burg
lars entering the house either by the
windows, doors or any other way, nor
are there any marks in the snow about
the premises which show that anybody
had been prowling around the prem
ises.
Mrs. Lunapkin and her daughter live
on the first floor of the Colonial block
at the corner of Harriet street and East
Washington avenue. In the upper
apartment ON the corner lives George
w. Cornwell of the Wheeler & Wilson
conpany's office. The two front doors
adjoin and are separate in themselves.
Yesterday afternoon there was compa-
my in the Lumpkin apartments and Mrs.
Lumpkin and her daughter went into
the bedroom and put on few diamond
rings when they dressed. There is one
servant in the house, who had been dis
missed for the afternoon and who did
not return till late in the evening, and
not until after the discovery of the
missing treasure. Mrs. Lumpkin always
took charge the bag and its valuable
contents. After giving her daughter a.
ring and placing. several on her own
fingers she placed the bag back In its
hiding place in the folding bed and then
folded that article Of furniture back
into its place, where it stood like a cab
met. Mother and daughter sleep In
this bed, and the bag is between them
when they sleep. s IN
Their company arrived at $3.50 o'clock
and remained until dark. After supper
Mrs. Lumpkin went into the bedroom
and was making preparations to retire.
She lowered the bed to replace her
rings, but was unable to find her treas
ure bag. She made a search in the room
and in the house, but there was no sign
of the missing valuables.
The following yaluables are missing:
United States bonds, $1,000; cash. 500:
five diamond rings and a diamond
bracelet, all valued at 5000.
At late hour tonight the police had
secured no clue to the robber.

BATTLE COMMENCED JAN e5.
More Artillery Engaged Than in An;
Engagement in History. s

Szefangtai, sixty versts southwest of
Mukden, Jan. 29, via Pekin, Jan. pa
battle commenced at daylight January
25. The right flank, reinforced by
troops from the east, began a move
1nent against the Japanese left. One
corps, leaving Szefangtai at midnight
January "a, marched about seven miles
southwest and at daylight attacked.
The Infantry backed up by artillery,
drove the Japanese from two villages
at midday after a sharp fight, and con-
tinued to make progress, the rest Of the
right flank becoming engaged The
Russian artillery fire was heavy, but
the Japanese remained almost silent.
The captured villages presented a war
like picture with Japanese and Russian
dead lying side by side in the streets.
The Russian infantry kept under the
cover Of the walls and houses to protect
themselves from the Japanese fire from
adjoining villages.
The country is fat and thickly popu-
lated. and the villages are large and
rich in foodstuffs.
1T is showing and bitterly cold, and
the troops eagerly seek the protection
or the villages. which in this district
have escaped destruction.
On January 26 there was, a heavy fire
along the right flank front and an ad-
vance was made. The wind at the Rus
slams backs drove the snow into the
faces of the Japanese, and it was very
difficult to see any distance. One ST.
berian rifle regiment suffered heavy
losses.
January 27 the fighting continues on
the right flank but 1t does not seem to
be developing along the center or east
ern flank. Probably the cold weather
.~prevents further continuance of the
battle.
There is more artillery on both sides
than in. any former battle of history.

RESULTS OF YEARS WORK
in SCIENTIFIC IREsEARCR
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF
THE CARNEGIE INSTITUTE.


& ss e -tFE a
Washington, SLll 29.-officlai am
nouncement of researches along various
scientific lines is made in the Year book
for 1904 just issued by the Carnegie in
stitute OF Washington. Considerable
attention is devoted iii this report to
the necessity of methods and organiza-
tion for promoting research in the ex-
act sciences of Prof. Simon Neweonb
suggests that while the nineteenth CEN
tury has been industrially piling up a
vast mass of astronomical, meteoro-s
logical, magnetical and sociological OBJ
servations and data at great expense
the world over. the working out of re-
suits from these observations is de-
fective and lacks system. To correct
this he urges the organization of an in
stitute or bureau of ''exact sciences in
general" the head Of which SHOULD be
aided by council of experts picked
from various countries to advise as to
the various departments at work, with
a view to reaching the small expense

approval of the scehme by such men as
Karl Pearson, OF the University coll
lege Of London, England; Lord Ray
leigh Of the Royal Institution Of Great
Britain; G. NJ. Darwin of Cambridge,
and others has been secured. Mr..
Pearson adds that at least fifty per
cent. OF the scientific observations
made and the data collected are worth
less and no man, however able could
deduce any result from them all. Il
doubt says he. whether even a small
proportion Of the biometric data being
accumulated in Europe and America
could be made to provide valuable re-
SUITS
Discussing the southern observatory
project the report says that under the
grants from the Carnegie institution,
the direction and volition of the solar
systems are being determined from all
available material and before the close
of 1905 results are expected for 5000 OF
the more frequently observed stars. A
new determination OF the positions of
standard stars distributed from the
north to south pole Of the heavens will
be undertaken shortly following which
the grantee entrusted with this work
says he should like to take favorable
station in the southern hemisphere,
either at San Luis, IN Argentina, or
Rloemfontein, in South Africa, for the
observation OF standard stars out Of
reach from stations In the northern
hemisphere. The need of special OBJ
servation Of stars that have been neg
lected for the past twenty or thirty
years also is advocated.
