THE UNITED I (This drawing represents the building* I - Tw New !|( ! Annapolis. Jj: QQQOQKQQXXMDODOQQOODODQQQQOCOG$Xi2*? Tit HE Republic has beeu slow ' I to recoKUlze the importance 1 . | of the Institutions where are created the generals of Its army and the commanders of Its warShips, bat at last It has been roused to the necessity of proridlag the, yoanf men who are to scrre on sea as well as on land with facilities in keeping with the profession which they hare adopted. As a result of the plans which have been prepared, npon the shores of the nml n the 8evern, at Annapolis. Md? will be erected groups of buildings which Will be mouuments to American progress In the science of war. They , will form military and naval colleges . In every sense of the word, and will save do eqnai id any oiiitr wuuuj. Only after a long struggle with Congress did the friends of the nary finally obtain recognition of the needs of the institution, the first appropriation of 1500.000 being secured lu 1807. With this & beginning was made. and. thanks to the efforts of various Congressmen. as well as to the several Secretaries of the Navy, year by year appropriations have been granted, until it is safe to say that all of the Im* provements suggested trill be carrlod - out although they will represent an outlay of fully $6,000,000. Of first Importance is the home of the cadets, or the "quarters." as it Is technically termed. This building, stately in dimensions and tru!? magnificent in design, has a frontage of 035 feet upon Annopol!* Harbor, with a width In the centre of not lens than 400 feet. Its wings will contain the sleepingApartments of the students. Other parts form the mess-hall, kitchen, etc. The armory will contain ample space for a drill-hall where a body of 500 men can practice evolutions In-doorx when the weather permits. The bontbouse. aa Its name implies, takes the place of the present antiquated structure. and with Its rear end facing , the proposed basin allows access to the water. As the armory and boatbonse are in such continual use. It was decided best to connect them in the manner illustrated, and the group, which may be termed the front section Of the Academy, forms a most notablp architectural picture, facing as It does the Chesapeake, with the broad parade milnit? 0Ytt?nriln? from Its torracwl surroundings to the water-front. Next In Importance to the cadetquarters. snd located Immediately back of It, will be what Is termed the Academic building, where sessions Of the classes will be held. This Is planned to give ample facilities for all Instruction, except the departments which must be taught with the aid of apparatus. In the rear of the boatbouse and separated from It by the proposed shlp-basiu will stand the power-house, furnishing beat and light as well as power for the entire Pown r\t KnllHIncm Tho r p?v?|r v* Min/aniui^ for instruction In physics and chemistry will also be a separate building, ? well as the department of iparlneengineering, which necessarily requires quite an elaborate mechanical equipment. All of these structure*, as will be noted by the illustration, hsrmonize In location and design with the general plan of the architect. Mr. Ernest Flagg. One of the principal Improvements will be the magnificent auditorium. which will take the place of the simple naval chapeL It will be a domed structure, ami when completed will cost not less than $400,000. The basin will be deep enough to allow the training-fleet to be moored at the docks, and will accommodate all of the craft used by the cadets. The open space rrom tne name or tne river to the nearest building will be a campus 412 feet long and 230 In width. This, however, will not lie used as a drill-ground, the evolntlons of the cadet corps out-of-door* being carried out on the area which will be provided directly In front of the quarters.?

' 75FrSTS WEICHT OF TRUST DIRECTION, I la Explanation of Iht B/nkiai Dow? ; of Schwab'* Hemltli. Kerent reports from Italy concernti? the condition of Mr. Cbnrle* M. Schwab.

The question, however, whether a robust, young ami well'quipped man. thoroughly familiar viih all branch's of some important mlustry, must sueeamb to the weight >f the responsibilities of direction, tvben placed at the head of a great rombinaiion of corporations engaged n that industry, is one of much importance in the United States at this time, and therefore there should be [minted out the evidence tending to lliow that these responsibilities were lot the cause of the breaking down. >e It temporary or permanent. In this nstanee. Mr. Schwai) had risen rapidly and l?y sheer merit to the high position he occupied wh?n the corporation was Tormed. At eighteen he was a poor roung mau. working for $1 a day: at twenty-live he had become chief engnneer of the great Edgar Thomson Works: seven years later he was Pre** Idcnt of the Carnegie Company, and tiad shown great ability as an administrator as well as an expert engineer nnd constructor. But he was still IIv ns in a simple way. ueronug ui? aucutlon to bis business. The purchase of the Carnegie Company and the formation of the corporation *erve<l to materialize tbe great fortune tbat bad exlste<l for bim in the Carnegie coneem. At the same time hi* elertion to the presidency of the corporation, with the accompanying extraordinary salary, brought him prominently before the world. He gave up his simple ways of living ar.d availed himself of some* what exciting, but otherwise unobjectionable. forms of amusement. His intercourse abroad with eminent personngest and at home with wealthy men who bad loug been accustomed to tbe exciting life to which he was comparatively a stranger, tended to cause a revolution in bis ways. His environment bad suddeuly undergone a great change, and he was not prepared for it. He began to interest himself in j numerous projects outside of the busS- | Less of which he was a master. Th; plan of a palace on Riverside Drive, to i cost $3.01)0.001) or $4,000,000: the pur- ! chase of a large piece of shore front oa Staton Island, with the purpose 01 establishing th?re a large charitable Institution: tiic acquisition of a tract on the shore of the Sound for a country seat; the purchase of the Bethlehem Iron Works; his interest in the Steel Foundries Company, and other similar organizations? these and other ventures of the kind required his attention. Taken together with his in w sorial duties nud amusements, and with the work appertaining to his entice, they were a heavier burden than he could carry. In protest against the over-weight his One physical and nervous organization ' broke down, demanding relief and rest. This appears to be the true explanation of the lllncsa of the head of the world's greatest corporation. We presume that if he had remained at his home in Western Pennsylvania. pursuing the comparatively simple ways of living to which he bad boon accustomed, nnd avoiding the many outside business projcctn In which he has recently l?oen encaged, ho would now l>e as well and strong ns ever. The responsibilities attaching to the management of our great industrial combinations are heavy and highly important. but thoy do not of necessity crush the man who assumes them.

TRIPARTITE AGREEMENT BROKEN Til* Arbitrator Find* That Action by British and American Forcct la Firing AcroM Apia Wn Unwarranted?The Two flafaraatali Cnpoailblt For Leeeoe?Oermaay'e Victory Complete. Washington, D. C.?By previous arrangement between tbe priucipals, tbere was published simultaneously In Washington, London and Berlin tbe full text of tbe decision given by His Majesty King Oscar II, of Sweden, as arbitrator between tbe three countries named of certain claims on account of military operations in Samoa in tbe year 1S09. Tbe substance of tbe decision has been announced heretofore in the cable dispatches from Stockholm, bat tbey did not convey to tbe officials here a full renlisation of the complete victory won by Germany, (or it appears that on every single point tbe ar-< bltrator adopted tbe most extreme German view in opposition to tbe United oiuitrs ouu uitrai oniuiu. The arbitration grew out of claims by? German or British subjects or American citizens for compensation on account of losses they alleged they had suffered In consequence of unwarranted military action on the part of German. British or American officers In Samoa between the 1st of January. 1899, and the 13th of May following. , The question really at issue was i whether or not the British and United , States Governments should be cocsid* ered responsible for the losses. The arbitrator recites that the United States steamship Philadelphia and the * British ships Porpoise and Royalist on Blarcb 15, 1899, opened fire across the trtwn nf A nIn Srimna rllrontlnp tlio nine against tbe forces of High Cblef Mataafa; tbat tbe same vessels brought t tbe newly appointed King of Samoa, Malietoa. and bis forces to Mulinuu [ Point and gave tbem arms and ammunition for tbe ensuing struggle against Mataafa. In answer to tbe British 1 and American claims tbat under tbe. treaty of Berlin any one of the signatory Powers was fully authorised to enforce tbe decision of tbe Chief Jus' tice of Samoa, declaripg Malietoa King the arbitrator says: "We hare found nothing in tbe said 3 general act or any subsequent agree* ment which authorises one of tbe slg* i. natory Powers, or a majority of them; Q to take action to enforce the conditions . of tbe act or to make tbe decisions of , tbe Chief Justice binding on the Pow'* ers." - ' The arbitrator insists that the Berlin s Conference aimed to establish a princl - pie that in their dealings with Samoa r, tbe Powers could proceed only by * common accord, and that as the consular representatives of tbe three Pow Q era by proclamation bad recognised r the provisional government of Mataafa it the Powers themselves were bonnd on s principle* of international good faith to maintain the situation until bj comr ' mon accord they decided to change It. . Touching the British-American complaint against the German Consul for 6 his refusal to sustain the decision of * the Chief Justice, the arbitrator holds that "it cannot be considered to have been the duty of the German Consul to take'part In the issuance of said proclamation, and It has not been proved that with regard to said I slon any step? were taken by him contrary to the generai iCt, anu, there| for*, no responsibility attaches for the attitude taken by him In this respect/' Continuing, the decision recites that I Malletoa had been completely defeated | before the arrival of the Philadelphia, but that the United States Admiral an{! the British authorities brought back uia warrior* uuu onura auu provisioned them, firing them ammunition, which, under the treaty there should bare been issued only at the unanimous request of the three Consuls^ The decision closes as follows: "That the military action in question. Tlx., the bringing back of the Malietoans . and tbe distribution-to them of arms I and ammunition, the bombardment, j the military operations on shore and . | fne stoppage of tbe street trafflc cannot q ' be considered as having been wari. | ranted. j | "And that, therefore.
