st. Petersburg-American superior
ity over foreign rivals again triumphs
in the complete success which has
crowned the visit of Charles NJ.
Schwab to st. Petersburg.
Mr.. Schwabs negotiations with the
Russian admiralty have resulted in
the practical conclusion of an ar
rangement for the construction of a
number of formidable line-of-battlS
ships OF type which probably VIII
startle the world.
Mr.. Schwab left st. Petersburg
April o. The details Of the construc-
ton 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 a yard
will be constructed at a Baltic port
to be manned by Russian workmen,
but under American engineering and
mechanical supervision, the Russian
admiralty being extremely anxious to
utilize the rehabilitation of the navy
for the encouragement of the ship
building industry at home in order to
eventually render the country indie
pendent of foreign yards.
The admiralty has accepted Mr.
Schwab's propositions strictly on
their merits, he having convinced the
authorities that he can produce for
Russia warships vastly superior to
anything now afloat or at present pro-
iected by any other government.
They will be monster 16,O00-ton yes
sells of enormous horsepower and of
peculiar type. combining the projec-
tile-resisting power of the battleship
with the speed and wide radius of ac.
tion Of cruisers. They will be deliv-
cred fully equipped as to armor and
ordnance.
The remarkable advance in naval
architecture and construction which
these American built ships wild mark
is well guarded secret, but it Is be-
lleved it will involve the use of nick
ell steel of greater tensile strength,
which, in machinery, boilers, frames,
etc, will give greater power with de-
creased weight.
Mr.. Schwab guarantees to create
vessels with 20 per centum higher
efficiency than any now existing.
While the Bethlehem company will
supply the armor and ordnance, 9th
er American yards will profit in the
construction of the hulls.

FAVOR TRADE AGREEMENT.
Notable Speakers at Meeting Of civic
Federation Of New England.


Boston-The first public meeting
OF the Civic Federation of New Eng
land. which was held in this city April
26, was a success beyond even the an
ticipations of the most sangulne Of
its supporters.
There were present about $50 Of
the representative men of New Eng
land in the fields of labor and capital,
including several from other sections
Of the country, and OF these a few of
the ablest men discussed the ques'
tion Of trade agreements"
August Belmont, president OF the
Interboro railroad company of New
York, and also president Of the Ma.
tional civic federation, spoke on the
subject from the standpoint of the EN-
ployer, and Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American federation of
labor and vice-president Of the Ma
tiOnal civic federation, spoke on the
matter from the standpoint of the
trades unionist.
These were followed by William II.
Pfahler of Philadelphia, ex-president
OF the National founders association,
and John F.. Tobin, general president
of the boot and shoe workers union,
both of whom spoke from their per-
sonal experience with the trade
agreement"
All of the speakers, including Lu-
cius Tuttle, president of the Boston
& Maine railroad, and president of the
Civic federation of New England,
were in favor of the trade agree
ment," as at least sincere effort to
harmonize differences of opinion and
prevent strikes and lockouts and gen.
eral business disturbances, but en-
phasis was laid on the fact that such
agreements between employees and
employers should be faithfully lived
up to by both parties to the contract.
The meeting was significant of the
great and growing spirit of liberation
and the tendency of the times 10 bar
monize all differences and disputes
by means of deliberation, arbitration
and agreement.

Russians Twice victors.

st. Petersburg Linevitch, in a
dispatch to Emperor Nicholas dated
April %, says:
Our advanced posts April 22 forced
the enemy successfully to evacuate
the fortified villages of Manchenzou
and Nemanpaomeng.
THE Japanese occupied a fortified
position about three miles south of
Nemanpaomeng, but our artillery fire
and the appearance of our detachment
on the left flank induced them to re-
treat hastily toward Kayancheng. af-
ter burning their provision depot.
Our troops April 20 compelled the
enemy to retire to Kayancheng.
"The same day Russian advance
guards pursuing the enemy approached
Changtu; about so miles above Tie
pass, which is strongly. fortified and
occupied by the Japanese.
Our artillery opened fire on the
east side Of the town, but when 1t be-
came apparent that the place was
strongly held our troops retired. Our
cavalry destroyed the telegraph line
between Kayancheng and Changtu."

Big Blow for Rand.

New York-The prosecution in the
trial of Nan Patterson, charged WITH
the murder of Caesar Young, on June
4, 1904, ran upon a rock with all sails
set, in the utter failure OF Hyman
Stern, the pawnbroker who sold the re.
volver with which Young was shot
to identify j. Morgan Smith as the
man who bought the weapon on the
day before the tragedy
From the prosecutions point of view
Stern did more than that, for with
equal fatness he failed to identify eth
er Nan Patterson or her sister, Julia
Patterson Smith, as the woman who
accompanied the man to whom the re-
volver was sold
Almost since the day of the tragedy
on West Broadway now nearly yeal
ago. the prosecution has moved heaven
and earth to lay hands on Smith, and
its efforts were finally crowned with
success at Cincinnati, barely in time
for the present trial. 1t Is said the
long chase directed from the district
attorneys office cost the state 100000
AT the opening of the present trial
Assistant District Attorney Rand. with
great snow OF confidence, promised tC
prove that Smith had bought the re.
volver as alleged in the prosecutions
theory of the crime, but now so far
as this line of evidence is concerned
the states effort ended in a wreck
AT the previous trial Stern, in de
scribing the man to whom he sold the
revolver, had made but a poor picture
of j. Morgan Smith; but at the present
trial he looked him squarely in the
face in open court and said he could
not identify him.
j. Morgan Smith may or may not be
of use to the district attorney in other
lines of evidence in the case, but its
last hope of fastening the purchase
of the revolver upon him, and through
him upon Nan, has come to fiat fail.
