IS FINE SPECIMEN
SECRETARY LOEB MAY DECIDE
TO INDULGE IN THE SPORT FOR
A DAY OR SO-THE PRESIDENT
RESTED YESTERDAY.

Glenwood Springs. Col. April PA rest
was taken at Camp Roosevelt today by
all members of the party. They were ut
terly worn out after the hard chase of
Monday and Tuesday. Secretary Loeb
found the President reading and several
of his hunters telling stories when he
reached the camp on East Divide creek.
Mr.. Roosevelt questioned the Secretary
concerning the happenings of the past
days, pleferrinb to set his news In this
manner, rather than by reading the big
nundle of newspapers taken to the camp
by Courier Chapman
Mr. Loeb was urged to remain several
days with the party, taking the place
of b. b. Stweart of Colorado Springs
who left yesterday. The Secretary has
not decided what he will do, but expects
to return tomorrow night. He may hunt
a part of the day before riding to New

The bear killed by the President on
Monday furnished one of the finest skins
ever seen here, according to the taxader-
mist with whom it has been left for
mounting. The bear was of the brown
variety, with long hair and uniform size.
The bear was shot directly through the
heart After it had been overtaken by
the dogs, 1t went up a tree to posi-
ton 25 feet high. After the President
shot the bear 1t climbed 20 feet higher
and then dropped to the ground.

PACE OF IRON TRADE
IS NOT DANGEROUS
Weeks LuIl Contributed to
Healthy Situation
SOUTHERN IRON Is EASIER
Nothing Definite Has Developed as to
Purchase of Pig BY Steel Cor
poration for May
Delivery.
SOUTHERN IRON Is EASIER

Cleveland, O., April .-(special)-The
Iron Trade Review says:
Less is heard now of the dangers in the
pace of the iron trade, and the lull of re-
cent weeks has contributed to healthy
situation. As yet nothing definite has de-
veloped as to purchases of pig iron by
the steel corporation for May delivery,
though merchant furnaces expect an In
ouiry for some amount within the next
few days The fact that the Carnegie Steel
company. has 100 per cent of its blast fur
mace capacity active this week, and to do
this an old furnace of relatively smali
capacity was blown in, indicates how the
pressure from steel works keeps up.
American Bridge company contracts
closed in the week includes 25,OOO tons Tor
railroad bridges and there were booked
in rails about $4,000 tons. bringing the
total on the books for this year to about
100000 tons The structural mills make
no headway against the accumulation on
their books and the prospect of passing
MAY day without serious strikes, mas
added much to the optimistic view gen.
erally taken of the building situation.
The easier feeling in southern iron mas
nut sellers on the alert for evidences on
concessions from $3.50.
Chicago reports considerable inquiry for
malleable pig iron, one interest," having

VESSELS TO Be 70 PER CENT
BETTER THAN ANY AFLOAT
Are to Be 16,ooo-Ton Battleships of
Enormous Horse Power and OF
Different Type From Any
thing Yet Constructed.

st. Petersburg, April 26, 11:35 p. m.-
American superiority over foreign rivals
again triumph 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 arrangement for the con-
struction of number OF formidable line
of battleships of type which will prob
ably startle the world.
Mr.. Schwab will leave st. Petersburg
tomorrow. 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, 1t is quite
likely that yard will be constructed
at Baltic port to be manned by Rus
sian worirmen. but under American en-
cheering and mechanical supervision, the
Russian admiralty being extremely anx-
ious to utilize the rehabilitation of the
ravy for encouragement of shipbuilding
industry at home, in order to eventually
render the country Independent of for
eign yards.
Accepts Proposition on Merit.
schwab.s propositions strictly on their
merits, he having convinced the authori-
ties that he can produce for Russia war
ships vastly superior to anything now
anoat or at present projected by any
other government They will be monster
16,0O0-ton vessels Of enormous horse
power, and of a peculiar type, combining
the projectile-resisting power of the bat
tleship with the speed and wide radius
OF action OF cruisers. They will be de-
ivered fully equipped as to armor and
ordnance.
The remarkable advance in naval ar
chitecture and construction which these
Amer1can-built ships will mark. is we'll
guarded secret. but is believed it will
involve the use of nicSel-steel of greater
tensile strength, which in machinery
boilers and frames, will give greater
power with decreased weight. Mr.. Schwab
guarantees to create vessels with 20 per
cent higher efficiency than any now ex-
listing. 1t is understood, however. that
not all the ships will be built by the
Bethlehem company as the time for de-
livery Is factor, Russia desiring that
the ships be turned over as early as pos
sble While the Bethlehem company will
supply the armor and ordnance other
American yards will profit in the con-
struction of the hulls.
No Desire to Arouse Hostility.
This also is in accordance with the
wish of the admiralty, the Russian author
tiles in placing such large contract
having no desire to arouse hostility
among rival commercial interests in
America, the aim being not only to take
advantage Of American genius in build
ing up the Russian navy, but distinctly to
cultivate closer commercial relations be-
tween the two countries
1t is understood that no arrangements
have as yet been concluded with French
or German builders for the ships which
will be constructed in those countries
