American superiority over foreign rivals

which has crowned the visit OF Charles
NJ. Schwab to st. Petersburg. Mr..
echwabs negotiations with the Russian
admiralty have resulted in the practical
conclusion Of an arrangement for the con.
struction of a number of formidable lins
OF battleships OF Il type which probably
will startle the world. Mr. Schwab will
leave St Petersburg tomorrow. The de-

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

pervision, the Russian admiralty being
extremely anxious to utilize the rehabilita-
ton of the navy for the encouragement
of the shipbulding industry at home in
order to eventually render the country In
dependent of foreign yards.
The admiralty has accepted Mr..
Schwabs propositions strictly on their
merits. he having convinced the authorl-
ties that he can produce for Russia war;
ships vastly superior to anything now
ahoat or at present projected by any
government. They will be monster 1900

of a peculiar type, combining the proJec'

the speed and wide radius OF action oc

NAN PATTERSON PLEASED
Tells Hex Father the Day Was Good
One for Her-RiOtOus struggle to
Get into Afternoon Sessions
Stein Could Not Identify
Miss Patterson or Smith.

New York, April 26-The climax in the
prosecution of Nan Patterson was reach
ed to-day, when Hyman Stern. the pawn
broker, failed to identify j. Morgan
Smith as the man to whom he sold the
pistol with which Caesar" Young was
killed. This test had been looked forward
to with much anticipation and was ex-
pectcd to make something Of a sensation.
On the CONTRARY however. 1t caused
but ii ripple of comment and surprise in
the court room. Stern also failed to iden-
tfy Nan Patterson or Mrs. Smith as the
woman with the man that purchased the
revolver.
The tension of the court room was in
tense as Stern gave his evidence. the
room being so quiet his heavy breathing
as he leaned forward to look at Smith
could be heard.
Riotous scenes attended the opening OF
the court room for the afternoon ses-
sion. Women and men fought to get past
tho police. Several women tainted and
many had their dresses torn.
Beside Stern the witnesses called to-
day gave technical testimony.
When Stern went on the stand Smith
and his wife were brought before him.
The pawn broker told the story of the
purchase of the weapon and identified
the pistol as the one he had sold.
Turning toward Nan Patterson. Assist
ant District Attorney Rand said: Look
at the defendant. don't you remember
the lady who accompanied the man who
bought the revolver? Do you recognize
the defendant as the one?"

Stern.
