W. A. Connelly, gen^af manager of
a large mining concern in the Plzpiz ^
district of Nicaraugua, who arrived'
at New Orleans, reports internal af-1
fairs quieter than ever before in the ^
history of the country.
Regarding stories of political un
rest and anti-Estrada sentiment, Mr.
Connelly said:
' “The revolution is over, and you
might state that there is not a for
eigner, especially an American, in the
country of Nicaraugua who is not sat
isfied with the outcomc. President Es
trada is very popular there, and he
will apparently mak^ one df the best
executives that could Iftive been se
lected for the place.” \

appointed ' governor at Blueflelds,

ACCIDENT ON BATTLESHIP.
Cvew of the Georgia Have Miraculous
Escape When Gun Burst.
During target practice of the Atlan
tic fleet off the Virginia capes, one
•f the big 12-inch 50-ton guns of the
battleship Georgia burst on the first
range shot. The muzzle as far back
as the forward end of the jacket was
blown off. The crew miraculously es
caped injury.
The accident was to the left gun in
the forward turret nf thp Georgia and
the big rifie probably was ruined. The
report of the accident reached the
navy department at Washington in a
wireless dispatch from the command-
er-in chief, Rear Admiral Schroeder.
The Georgia is commanded by Cap*.
William L. Rodgers, and is the flag
ship of Rear Admiral Samuel P. Com-
ly, commander of the third division
of the Atlantic fleet. ^

There Will Be No Lockout On Eng
land on the ^rst of October.
The dispute between the cottou
manufacturers and their employees is
'now In a fair way of settlement. At
a meeting of the card room amalga-
xnation it was decided to submit for
arbitration the (fuestion at issue,
which threatened a lockcrut in the en-
the colton trade by October 1.
For a Jong time there has been a
diepute between the owners of the
Fern mill at Oldham and their em
ployees because of a new arrangement
of working conditions. A few days
ago the Federation of Master Cotton
Spinners decided ter enforce a genera!
lockout, affecting directly 150,000 op
eratives unless the Fern mill question
was settled. The decision followed
the refusal of the employees to sub
mit the matter to an arbitration com
mission. It Is now believed an amica
ble settlement is assured.
