Negotiations are still under way for the veaael, and It la thought to ba probable that the'y will be carried through to a aucceaaful con clusion. But about tha time that the company waa closing a deal for the steamer others began to bid on her, and the result of the strife haa beeh that the ownera took advantage of the aituatlon to advance the rates. r- "The ownera are now beginning to be lieve," explained Manager Schwerln, "that they have the only vessel In the world available for early loading. ,' On account of the agitation the rates have very materially stiffeued during tha paat 'week or two.

I understand that the underwrit ers will double the war risk on the vea ael In th event that ahe la engaged. That would mean that a 'policy of per cent would have to be taken out" - Mr. Schwerln arrived in tha city thia morning from San Francisco, ' accom panied by Jila private secretary: , The object of ls visit la to separate the business affalra of the railroad from those of tha steamship lines.
