SCHWAB TO BUILD
RUSSIAN WbRSHIPS

st. Petersburg, May 1.-American
superiority over foreign rivals again
triumphs in the complete success
which has crowned the visit of
Charles M. Schwab to st. Petersburg.
Mr.. Schwab's negotiations with the
Russian admiralty have resulted in
the practical conclusion Of an agree
ment for the construction CT a number
Of formidable battleships of a type
which probably will startle the world.
Mr.. Schwab will leave st. Petersburg
during the day.
The details of the construction 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 yard will be CONSTRUCTED
at a Baltic port, to be manned by Rus
sian workmen, but under American
engineering and mechanical supervi-
sion, the Russian admiralty being ex-
tremely anxious to utilize the rehabili-
tation of the navy for the encourage
ment of the shipbuilding industry at
home, in order to eventually relder the
country independent Of foreign yards.
will Build New Type of Vessels.
The admiralty has accepted Mr..
Schwab's proposition strictly on it's
merits, he having convinced the au-
thorities that he can produce for Rus
STA warships vastly superior to any now
afloat or at present projected by any
foreign government. They will be
monster 16, 600 ton vessels of enormous
horsepower and Of peculiar type,
combining the projectile resisting pow
or Of the battleship with the speed and
wide range of action Of cruisers. They
will be delivered fully equipped as to
armor and ordnance.
The remarkable advance in naval
architecture and construction which
these American built ships will mark
is guarded secret, but it is believed
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. Mr.. Schwab guarantees to
create vessels with 20 per cent higher
efficiency than any now existing.
will Divide Contract.
1t is understood, however, that not
all the ships will be built by the Beth
lehem company, as the time for deliv-
cry Is factor, Russia desiring that
the ships be turned over as ea1ly a.
possible. While the Bethlehem COM
pany will supply the armor and ord
nance, other American yards will
profit in the construction Of the bulls.

CHARGES AGAINST LOOnIS
Original Accusation Which CauSe(
Bowen to Be Recalled.

original Accusation winch caused
Bowen to Be Recalled.
Following is the dispatch to the
New York Herald containing the
charges in the Bowen-Loomis scandal :
Caracas, Venezuela, April 3d.
either the American minister to Ven
ezuela should be removed or the first
assistant secretary of state should be
asked to step out Of his Office in Wash
ington," was the startling statement
made by q dispassionate observer of
Venezuelan affairs in Caracas today
This same idea has occurred to many
persons who have visited Caracas re-
GENTLY and who have remained there
long enough to obtain some inkling Of
the diplomatic scandal centering
around the two officials designated.
This scandal racks the entire commu-
nifty and is Of such q nature that,
whether true or false, it seems impossi-
BILE that the two officials can continue
much loner in the same department Of
the government.
Briefly stated, the scandal, which is
now public property in this capital,
involves the allegation that while act
ing as United States minister to VEN
ezuela, present Assistant Secretary OF
State Loomis obtained Considerable
pecuniary benefits from the New York
& Bermuda Asphalt Company and that
q check showing payment OF 10000
to him by the company is now in the
possession Of President Castro. This,
it is held by many persons, supplies
the true explanation Of President Cas-
tro's continued defiance OF the United
States in the asphalt matter. 1t is
said to haze clogged the free action OF
that government, which is not anxious
for the ventilation Of an adminletra-
tion scandal.
Other charges against Loomis are
that, while minister, he purcnased Tor
trifiing sum q claim for $4,000
against the Venezuelan government
and then used his influence as minister
TO collect the full amount.
Still another document is apparently
q draft Of contract entered into be-
tween Loomis and one Meyer, under
which Loomis agreed to use his infiu-
ence to adjust heavy outstanding obi
cations of Venezuela to the amount OF
SIC, 900, 900 for consideration OF one
seventh of that sum, or, nominally,
81, 400, 900.
The allegati ns against Loonis have
bean laid before the state department
in Washington. Secretary Hay, Act
inc Secretary Taft and President Roos-
eyelt are cognizant Of them.

Washington was very careful Of his
possessions. One little incident will
bring this trait near to boys. When
he was twelve years of age he was
presented by his mother with knife
one of the big, clumsy jackknives Of
the period dear to every boy of the
time. Washington carried that knife
steadily for fifty-six years.

eral selling late In the day. The mark ct as 8 result Of doubts aroused was thrown into decided dullness for a con siderable period. Recent speculative favorites were the centers of the doubt ful movement. The opening trading showed them under pressure of the same character as of yesterday. Vigor- Ous support ran them up to good gains over last nights level, but this advance again was followed by constant and violent fluctuations both up and down. The movement in Union Pacific also was calculated to puzzle observers. Af- ter yesterdays sudden rise this stock was almost inmovable until the gen eral break at the last, any effort to rise above last nights level meeting such heavy offerings as to drive it back. These offerings, however, quickly de- creased on the decline in the prices, and evidences of support for the stock developed. This would point to pro- cess Of profit taking on the wide ad- vance of yesterday. There were besides various new points of positive strength throughout the market while some stocks suffered from continued weak
 
 ness. United States Steel pf was the most prominent substitute for yester- days leadership of the market by Union Pacific. Baltimore and Ohio also enjoyed a period of strength and there was a current supposition that large speculative accounts were being shifted from Reading into Union Paci- i fic and Baltimore and Ohio. Amalga- mated Copper had the advantage of i another advance in the market price of the metal and in London there was a sudden rise in the price of copper fu- lures which almost closed the gap ex- isting for some time past between the price of futures and spot copper in that market. The general weakness late in the day seemed to be due to the suspicion engendered of the whole sale profit taking on the part of the large speculative leaders of the mark ct. The estimates of the week s curren- cy movemenHbased on statements from f bankers indicated a considerable gain l in cash by the banks to be reflected in to-morrow's bank statement. The market closed under the influence of a general selling movement with the tone i weak and prices at the lowest of the day.
 Bonds were easier. Total sales pal value, $2.795,OOO.
 United States bonds were all un- changed on call.

There is some disposition on +he3part of the local team to hang on to the gate receipts of the protested game on the ground that, having been pulled out, they are therefore entitled to the receipts, or at least should have half instead of turning them over to the league.
