sinatc the kaiser and czar together at
Raval, while the two monarchs were
dining together on the kaiser’s yacht,
the Hohenzollern.
A launch bearing five men came
alongside. She looked exactly like
a Russian man-of-war launch, and one
of the ruffians wore the uniform of a
Russian officer, while the other four
wore the uniforms of Russian seamen.
In reality they were Russian nihil
iats bent on assassination.
The man In the officer’s uniform

ed the officer of the watch that he be
longed to the czar’s yacht, the Staa-
dart, and had urgent messages for the

oorsr his retreat to the launch, but af
ter a fight was disarmed and arrested.

CHINA TO HAVE BIG EXHIBIT.

Commissioner.

Ghang Cbih Tung and Yuan Shal Kai
viceroys, respectively, of Nan Kin.
Hankow and governor of Pe Chlti, In
separate conferences with T. S. Har
reta, tariff commissioner for tne Unit
ed States, have concurred in making

Will Give Up Active Business on Phy
sician's Advice.
Pittsburg, Pa.. Aug. IS.—A Loretto,
Pa., special to The Pittsburg Dispatch
says:
Charles M. Schwab, of the United
States Steel corporation, has acoopted
the advice of his physicians and decid
ed to retire indefinitely from active
business.
He will leave Amerioa to seek some
quiet nook where he will seek a quiet
life. This information is authentic.
Dr. Golden never leaves the Schwab
home, and the exact nature of his pa.
tient's illness cannot be learned
through him.
Mr. Schwab is not confined to his
bed, but spends much of his time on
the wide veranda which affords fresh
air and a sweeping view of the mouu.
tain slope. He is always with his
wife or his parents.
The strange part of Mr. Schwab’s
illness Is that he is always within
view of those who call at his house,
yet he will not allow any person to
approach him. Heretofore the visit
ors to the Schwab home were greet
ed with a hearty welcome and a vig
orous handshake. Now the visitor
is met at the entrance and told that
Mr. Schwab cannot be seen. Inti
mate friends are given the same mes
sago, and no one Is able to converse
with him since he came back to his
home.
The correspondent then says:
"The people of this town, who still
call him ’Charlie,’ because of their
early and Intimate acquaintance with
him, are discussing his prospective de
parture. They know he Is a sick man
and are relieved that he will spend
possibly a year In an effort to regain
his health.
‘‘The knowledge of people of Loret-
to Is that Mr. Schwab Is going away
somewhere. His destination will be
kept a secret and he will do nothing
but seek health until his nerves have
bean restored to their normal condl
tlon, and his mind fully relieved of the
great strain resulting from so many
business cares. Mr. Schwab has not
been receiving visitors for several
days and seems to take little Interest
In what Is going on about him. He
has been directed by his doctors to
rid his mind of all business cares, and
he Is obeying the orders religiously
"Inquiry among the people of the
town who have conversed with the
Schwabs fully corroborated the stories
that he Intends to retire from active
business life His friends, however,
deny that if he leaves the United
States Steel corporation It will be at
the dictation of any person other than
himself."
