The new president was for years one of Andrew Carnegie's ablest lieutenants and is now president of the Carnegie Steel company, one of the subsidiary concerns of the Vnlted States Bleel corporation.' it is scarcely mora than a month ago that Mr. Corey was made assistant to the president because ef Mr. Schwab's continued 111 health. Mr. Schwab attended today's meeting, coming to town. It was aaid. for that pur pose. He appeared to be In good health and spirits and seemed rather glad to be relieved of the duties Imposed on the chief executive of the "billion dollar" corpora tion. Before and after today's meeting Mr. Bchwab conferred with J. P. Morgan. Mr. Bchwab will continue as a director of the corporation and a member of the finance committee. Farsaal Aanonneesscnt Mad. Formal announcement of Mr. Schwab's resignation was made as follows: At the regular meeting of the directors of the United Plates Steel corporation, air. bchwab. In consequence of continued ill heal in. tendered his resignation us presi dent and it was accepted. W.

An advisory committee, to consist of three director besides the president, to consider and mske recom mendations concerning manufacturing, transportation and operation, was created, and & C.

Schwab) Heart ma ds Pasters. Immediately after the election of his suc cessor. Mr. Bchwab met the press repre sentatives, to whom he made this Informal statement: , I want te ssy that I think I have been treated unfairly by the nea-spapers in re gard to the reasons for my retirement. A number of reasons. Including this American Ship Building matter, bave been given for tt hut none of them la true. As a matter of fact the ship building question ha a never ieen a suojex i oi uiiw- uMtun vnwwu uij -elf and the directors.

That does not loos, as though 1 had been forced out. ller I appealed to Mr. Prick and through him nave finally succeeded In Inducing the di rectors to accept my resignation. 1 am aa deeply Interested In the Lnlted States Steel corporation as ever. I am the largest stock holder and remain a director and a mem ber of the executive committee. The new president Is a close friend and has suc ceeded me in all the offices I have held. My retirement is on account of ill health, nervousness. 1 have been in bad health tor six months or more. J. P. Morejaa Laada Schwab). J. P. Morgan made a statement as fol lows: I deeply res-ret that Mr. Schwab's health renders It Impossible for him to continue at the bead cf the ateei corporation. Mia loy alty cannot be doutitcid. and from lie earlier days he gave to ita formation, unification 1 and development hts unequalled powers as an expert in the manufacture of steel. 1 consider that in Mr. Corey the directors have secured an eminently competent sue- ', cessor to Mr. bchwab, and 1 am confident that the future will prove this to be the case. In fact I think that today the steel company In all Its branches Is Intrinsically tn a stronger and better position than It has ever been. The new president has entered on his duties and It may be authoritatively said that with bis election the steel corporation has begun a new policy. There will be less centralisation cf power and Increased re sponsibility In the work of the various com mittee. President Corey win devote his entire at tention to the practical and technical sides of the steel and Iron industry and will re ceive material aid from the advisory com mittee, whose members are specially well qualified to art In that capacity. No other Important . changes were an nounced In the personnel or policy of the corporation. Mr. Frlck continues as a mem ber of the finance committee, of which George W. Perkins Is chairman.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 Secretary War Root has addressed a communication to the Merchant Bridge company, a large bridge across the Mississippi river at St. Louis, asking the company to show cause why the t'nited States should not take pos session of the bridge under the statute which provided for Its construction.

The price of beer is advancing In Omaha, At least Martin Ceavars or Millard, who traded the result of four years' hard work on a farm for a single schooner, thinks so. Ceavars came to this city -yesterday morning from Calgary, Canada, where he had gone -in search of land. He had a large roll of money In his pocket, and while wandering about the streets looking at tbe high buildings he was accosted by a gen- j tlemanly Individual who spoke of the weather and other minor matters, until an acquaintanos was established. After trav eling In company for some time the stranger wanted to know If Ceavars would buy a team If It waa offered at a very reasonable price. Tbe man from Millard thought he would, and he was led to room S at 5ul South Thirteenth street to see the man who owned the horses. After the matter had been talked over at some length with two men who were In the room when Ceavars and his companion arrived. It was proposed that a few of the fleeting hours be passed by engaging In a poker game. Ceavars and his companlion were will ing and the cards were dealt. Prior to tbe beginning of the game It wks agreed between Ceavars and his new , acquaintance that should any money be won they were to divide, and In case a loss should occur It should likewise lie divided, but Ceavars was to furnish the capital owing to the fart that the newly made friend had left his purse at home. The first pot was a stiff one. Ceavars drew two aces snd a pair of lacks. He bet t''M. and one of rhe other parties, who had put chips on the table in lieu of money to bal ance the bet. showed down, three sevens. Ceavars thought he bsd had enongh poker for one day snd he snd his companion went out to get the money st the bank to make his part of the loss good. They repaired to the Turf exchange, where a glass of beer was purchased by the friend, who then told Ceavars to wait a few moments while he went out to get the cash. I'p to the time of Ceavars' departure several hours after ward the friend hsd not returned, and Ceavars went to the station to tell his trou bles to the police. When questioned at the station as to why he bet so. much money on one hand he said he thought he had good enough cards to win. The election of Cardinal Barto as pope, under the tltH of Pius X, Is considered In Catholic clerical circles In Omaha as the ascendency of tbe spirit of friendliness be tween the Vatican and the Quirinal, which will In time bring about a complete under standing between the church and the Ita.1 Ian government. Speaking of the matter, Rev. A. M. Colaneri, chancellor of the dio cese of Omaha, who Is an Italian and very familiar with the situation, said: "In the election of Cardinal Barto the political atmosphere of Rome may be ex pected to clear. He comes from the north of Italy, a Milanese, I believe, and In the northern provinces there Is not that spirit of hatred of the government which pre vails in tbe southern part of the country. Once before the cardinal made peace where trouble waa expected. When the patriarch- late of Venice was vacant the king of Italy claimed the right to nominate .n ecclesiastic for tbe vacant chair, but this was opposed by the pope on the grounds that Venice, never having been a part of Italy until after the revolution tinder he house of Savoy, the rules of the kingdom could not claim tbe right which they are permitted to exercise in towns Uka Turin, which hare aJwwra been parts of lh king dom. Tbe government waa at Crst inclined to causa trouble, but the appointment of Cardinal Barto to that place settled alt the trouble, because he waa a personal friend of King Humbert, tbe father of tbe present king. Mere Liberal Than Leo. "It can be believed that the policy of Pius X will be even more liberal in the matter of the Italian situation than thst of Leo XIII, but even under the late pope matters had progressed further than many knew ar-d there had been conferences be tween persons high In position at both the Vatican, and Quirinal. and the present pope probably will be more in favor of a com- i plete understanding. "There is one thing remarkable about the selection of the name of the present pope, for with that every other pope since 1S00 has been known as Plua Tbe century opened with Pius Vn In the chair of St. Peter. He was followed by Leo XI L and he by Pius VIII. The next pope was Greg ory XVI. and then came Pius IX, followed by Leo XIII, who Is succeeded by Plus X." With tbe election of the pope all of the prayers which have been said at every ce.e bratlon of the mass for divine assistance In the selection of the pontiff have been stopped. The only notice which will be taken of the election in the service of the church generally will be the singing of the Te Deum at the end of each mass cele brated next Sunday. FRANCE APPROVES Election of !arto Removes Pear that Kew Pope Might Be Reactionary. PARIS, Aug. 4. The election of Cardinal Sarto as pope has created a distinctly fa- ROME. Aug. 4. Tbe conclave, after be ing in session for four days, today elected Gluseeppe Sarto. patriarch of Venice, as pope to succeed Leo XIII. Barto now reigns at the Vatican as Pius X. Tonight all Rome is illuminated la hla honor. His election and the assumption of his holy office were marked by a striking demonstration and impressive ceremonies at the Vatican, which ended only this even ing. Tomorrow the new pope, clad la his full pontifical rooes and with all the ritu alistic ceremony, will receive the members of the diplomatic corps, the cardinals and bishops will then offer their official hom age, this notwithstanding the fact that twH-e today the cardinals and many high officials of the Vatican went through a sim ilar ceremony. The coronation day baa lnUIUt prevails that it will lake place on August . Conclave Lasts Till Afternoon. Although the election was over at 11 this morning and was announced to the world forty-live minutes later by the ap pearance of the new pope at the window of St, Peter's, the conclave waa not for mally dissolved until i:ao this afternoon. wo tl tl t fH MA S3 vorable Impression In governmental guar- , The cardinals then returned to their varijus ters here, removing the fear that the office apartments in Rome, with the exception might 'all upon a radical or reactionary candidate. The Foreign offlc received the first lnformstlon cf the election from press sources, the news spreading rapidly among the officials and causing widespread com ment. Although not espousing any particular candidr-y, official feeling has been favor able to one who would continue tbe con servative policy of the late pope. Cardinal Ram polls seemed at first to be the best exponent of that policy, but be larked necessary strength. Cardinals Sarto and Di Pietro were re garded as being closely influenced with Rampolla and as likely to share his gen eral views. The choice of Barto la. there fore, satisfactory, as apparently Insuring the continuance of the recent policy of moderation followed by the HoTy Bee In Its relations with France and other Catholic countries. What waa most feared was the election of one who might adopt a policy antago nistic to the government of France, thereby Increasing the difficulties of the present governmental policy against the congre gations and possibly threatening; the ex istence of the condordate. Although little Is known of Ratio's poli cies, he is considered aa one likely to avoid conflict and to continue the policy of Pope ana Cardinal Rampolla. The officials here recall Sarto's tactful course In receiv ing the king and queen of Italy at Venice. men removed much of the friction hith erto existing and led to a warm friendship neiween Barto and Queen Helena. This incident Is cited as an incident of his con ciliatory disposition and likelihood of no material change taking place In the policy of the Vatican.

Replying to the question whether the election was scceptable to Germany, a representative ef the foreign office answered: Vmauallfledly so from an official view point.
