Martial law in New Orleans lasted only n
few hours. A compromise arranged by the
lChambcr of Commerce between the strikers
and the new hands has been successful, and
work will be resumed tomorrow. In the after
noon the militia were relieved from duty, and
the Mayor was able, in a letter of thanks to
the Governor for the aid rendered him, to say
that quiet and order again prevailed
Commissioner Osborn reaches the conclusion

know what notions of the qualifications re-
quisite for admission to the United States
Navy are current on the ultimate East Side.

opinion of The London Times the Khedive is a
prisoner in his palace and the joint control over
the finances exercised by England and France
Is at the mercy of AN armed mob. The object
OF the insubordinate colonels is declared 10 be
the substitution of native military govern
