JOHN BASSETT MOORE'S IDEA .Author Hat Beet Grasp Of Inter national Affairs Of Any Man in Departm ; Washington, July 24. Opinion in Washington is rapidly growing to wards the positive conclusion that in the new Nicaraguan proposal, sub K mttted by the State Department and the President to the foreign affairs committee of the Senate, the Wilson administration has made the most sig- ) nificant advance In the foreign policy of the United States since the enuneia- tion of the Monroe doctrine more than ninety years ago. The proposal is simply that the United States enter into a treaty with Nicaragua assuming practically the ' same rights and obligations with re I gard to the smaller country as now give us a virtual protectorate over the Republic of Cuba and that in addition the United States pay Nica ragua $3,000,000 in return for a naval base and for exclusive right to con struct an inter-oceanic canal through Nicaraguan territority. In the opinion, of the Department of i State and the President, the incorpor ation in the Nicaraguan treaty of a clause similar to the Piatt amendment to the constitution of Cuba, whereby tins country has supervision of the dealings of Cuba with foreign nations jnd possesses the veto power as to as sumption of debts by the Cuban gov ernment would clinch the proposition and establish a precedent altogether desirable in the development of our relations with Central American coun tries in general. While the names of the President and the Secretary of State are the ones officially used in announcing the new policy, and while it will doubtless go down in history identified with Presi dent Wilson just -.as the Monroe doe' dent Monroe, is the impression P'X JTi in the best informed circles that tm1 .HjK 'V epochal idea, was worked bnt by John Basset t Mjjore, -'counsellor of the State Department and acting Secretary, .in the absence ( .Mr. Bryan.

He will begin three weeks' meeting Saturday night. He has several musicians and singers who accompany him and furnish the music. A great revival is anticipated. Rev. B. F. Huske, of New Bern, preached a fine sermon last night in the Episcopal Church at this place, on the subject: "Is the Lord Among us?" Miss Emma Barker, daughter of Barker, left yesterday afternoon to visit in Kinston. On last Saturday afternoon there fell a heavy rain throughout Jones county, lightning striking several build ings, especially in Polloksville Town ship. At Senator F. M. Simmons' farm a cyclone passed through, tearing down a great many large oak trees in his grove, when it struck the forest it felled the trees as it came to them for quite a distance.

TELEPHONE MEN ARE KEPT BUS I LIGHTNING PLAYED HAVOC WITH WIRES ALL OVER THIS SECTION. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 24. While stooping over arranging some levels, Thomas Hatchins, foreman of a gang of laborers, laying my pipes, was de capitated today by one of the work men, a foreigner, in Plymouth town ship, near here. , The man knocked Hutchlns uncon scious with a shovel and then cut off Us head with a hatchet. The laborer then fled to his boarding house, and re turned to the scene of the killing dressed in his best clothes. Fellow countrymen secured a piece el rope and threatened to hang him to a tree, but English-speaking work men prevented them from hanging him. The- man, who was arrested, is' be lieved by the police to have suddenly BUCK Philadelphia, Pa., July 25. For the first time in its history, Philadelphia is to have a woman street inspector.

Mrs. Pierce's duty, will be somewhat different from that of the men inspec tors. Instead of having a district, she will cover the whole city and will pay . particular attention to the Condi tion of schools and homes. Director Cooke said yesterday that she would organize sectional associations for keep ing the streets, sidewalks, homes and schools clean and visit them constantly, making addresses and instructing them in the ways of municipal cleanliness. HUERTA REGIME HEARS ITS END Headed For The Same Disaster That Overtook The Regimes Of Diaz And Madero.

During the past few days the force of linemen employed by the local branch of the Home Telephone and Telegraph Company have been busily engaged in repairing the damage done to their lines in this section by the storm which prevailed last Saturday after noon and night. According to a statement made yesterday by Thomas Davis, manager of the local office of the company, the lightning did nore damage to the telephone wires at that time than at any previous time during the past tea years. Numbers of wires were burned In two and at points the poles were torn down The high wind also blew downs number of trees across the wires. Practically alt the trouble has now been located and remedied. Washington, July 25. Following Postmaster General Burleson's an nouncemrnt of his proposed change in the size of the parcel post package limit from eleven to twenty pounds, Post Office Department officials have declared that the parrel post is not only of great benefit to the people, but a financial success. "It was predicted that during the first year of this new service 300,000 000 pieces would be handled. From the data we have in hand it is safe to estimate that we will handle twice that many," said one official. The Post Office Department is not going to stop at a package limit of twenty pounds, but will go on to one hundred pounds as soon as it can take care of the business. The limit would have been made twenty-five instead of twenty pounds this time had it not been for the fact that the last Ad m nistration stocked up the depart ra nt with twenty-pound scales, and the cost of replacing them with larger ones would have been too great an item to ignore at this time. Here after when scales are purchased the limit of weight will be one hundred instead of twenty pounds. It has been found from investigation by the Post Office Department that the average weight of the haul of the rural delivery wagon is twenty-four pounds and that the average capacity of the wagon is 400 pounds. There fore, it is asserted, there is much room for increased service to the people, and it will be developed in time. The records of the parcel post show that the average package carried since the system became operative has weighed one pound. The service, there fore, has not cut into the express busi ness very much, except on small pack ages. Increasing the limit of the pack age, it is believed, will make a big difference in the business. Merchants and post-office patrons generally have been showering the Postmaster-General with telegrams commending him for his promised improvement of the parcel post system by permitting a -larger package.

Washington, July 24. The Huerta Government in Mexico is on the verge of collapse, The same disaster that overtook the reigns of Diaz and Madero is now rapidly approaching the pro visional government of the new dic tator. It is only a question of compara tively few days when Huerta will have to get steam up on the special train in waiting for flight of deposed Presi dents and take the Vera Cruz route for Paris. There is speculation, however, whe ther Huerta will run as Diaz or stand defiantly as did Madero until killed. Advices received in Washington and credited in the highest circles give the news that the Huerta government cannot last long. The conditions of chaos and anarchy existing in un fortunate Mexico are centering rapidly toward another catastrophe. What will happen when Huerta falls no one ventures to predict. It may mean a period of even worse confusion if such a thing is possible. There seems to be no specially strong man to seize the reins of government in Mexico City. No one individual stands out as leader of united opposi tion to the dictator. Huerta's fall, when it does come. will be the result of not one revolution. but of dozens of revolutions scattered throughout the country. Quebec, July 24. Juan Pedro de Dapp, the new Mexican Consul-General to Canada, declared on his arrival here that Mexicans desired no further trade dealings with the United States, and were looking to strengthen trade relations with Great Britain and Canada His chief mission in Canada, he said was to induce Canadian manufacturers and merchants to go into the markets of Mexico. n. k. Muggins has returned to tie Ity after a visit to relatives in Carteret Tucson, Aril., July 24. Thomas Hind, assistant general superintendent of the Southern Pacific Railroad of Mexico, is held for ransom by the Mexican Federals at Guaymas, accord ing to a code message received here. It was stated that railroad officials had asked the State Department at Washington to demand Hind's release. Eagle Pass. Texas, July 24. An unconfimed report that Torreon had been captured by Constitutionalists was received here. Constitutionalist officials at their headquarters, Piedras Negras, refused to confirm the report. The last definite advices received here from the Constitutional lines were that Governor Carransa, on July 20, was in the neighborhood of Torreon to take personal charge of an expected attack on that place. Jesus Carranza, a relative of the Governor, declared last Sunday the Constitutionalists had Torreon "completely surrounded with 8,000 to 10,000 men." The only means of communication with the Constitutionalist front is by courier. The Torreon garrison consisted of more than 3,000 officers and men, as well as a number of cannon, and if the town has capitulated it is assured here that a portion of the garrison must have revolted and aided the rebels. Binghamton, N. Y., July 25. James P. Whiskeman, engineering ex pert in the employ of the Wagner Smith State factory investigation commission, made a thorough exam ination of the site of the destroyed Binghamton Clothing Company yes terday. Mr. Whiskeman is the expert who was retained by District Attor ney Whitman, of New York, to make an investigation of the Triangle Waist company's fire. Mr. Whiskeman declared today that there was more criminal carelessness in the Binghamton fire than he found in the Triangle disaster. His investi gation, he said, revealed the fact that a stiarway running through the clothing company's building had been removed, to make more room for manu facturing. "It is another case," said Whiskeman, "of dollars and cents being placed above human life. "To permit eighty girls to be em ployed on the fourth floor of that building with only one stairway, which might be cut off at any time in the event of fire, was inherently dangerous," added Whiskeman. Mr. Whiskeman s attention was called to a statement made by Wil liam C. Rogers, the present acting commissioner of labor, ia which he attempted to place responsibility for the disaster on the fact that the State senate had failed to conform the governor's candidate for State labor commissioner, and that Mr. Rogers, as acting commissioner, lacked cer tain authority essential for the proper enforcement of factory laws. "There is ao possible connection,' he said, "between the catastrophe snd the present condition in the de partment ef labor. The Binghamton factory wxs thoroughly inspected and approved by the factory inspector as recently as three weeks ago, and had there been a commissioner of labor it would not have changed the situ ation in the slightest degree." 1 The inquest was conducted In the nature of John Doe proceedings, and witnesses were sworn in "in the case of the death of Cassie Fuller and others." . . L . . . Most oi i ne morning was taxen up in securing a definite idea of the topography of the burned building in reference to the situation of stair-; ways, partitions and modes of egress. The witnesses were all employe vf the Binghamton clothing company, and they told of the discovery of the fire on a shelf in the stairway wall, and of its rapid spread through the building. There was no contradictory testimony at either the morning or afternoon session of the inquest. Each witness testified that smoking had been strictly prohibited in the fac tory, and that they had never seen anyone smoking in the building, but no one could account, for the origin of the fire. The most important fact brought out was that the four-story factory was equipped with inadequate and meagre facilities for fighting fires The fire drills were conducted by sig nals from the fire bell, each tap of the gong being a signal for a differ eat maneouver on the part of the employes. When the fire alarm was sounded in the factory on Tuesday af ternoon the strokes of the gong came in rapid succession, and the em ployes became greatly confused, and generally disorganized. No testimony has thus far been ad ducrd to support the theory first ad a need that the girls, Instead of heed ing the fire alarm, went without chang ing their clothes and preening them selves for appearance on the street. The place of origin of the fire wasj definitely fixed on a ledge in the staiK way between first and second floors,' where a quantity of "robe cloth" can vas, and old books were stored. It was also definitely brought out that in about five minutes after the first alarm of fire was given the entire building was a mass of seething flame. The exact cause of the fire, however, was not fixed. 7 Miss Alice Ward, who is visiting friends in Greenville, was a member of a party who went on a delightful moonlight sail down the river one night last week, the sail being given compli mentary to Miss Ward and other young ladies and gentlemen visiting in Green ville at the time.
