The result of the present war has
convinced Russia that sea power is vi
tai, and everywhere Mr.. Schwab has
encountered nothing but firm inten-
ton TO build up the navy to size com
mensurate with Russia's aspirations
for the future.
In general way IL is believed that
certain arrangements touching Amerl-
cas- share in the construction which
must go to foreign yards have been al
ready agreed to in principle. The de-
tails, however, may require some time
to work out.
Mr.. Schwab appears TO be entirely
satisfied with the result Of his visit,
and negotiations have made such rapid
progress that he expects to be able to
leave within few days. 1t is cOnsid-
cred great compliment to the genius
of America that the Russian naval au-
thorties desired to consult Mr..
Schwab's opinion
