cRONAN E IA HERO

Court Of Inquiry BrfBgs To Light Case
 Of UnnsnaI Presence Of Mind And Pluck In The

Nav York. Oct, 1s.--That turret accident on board the battleship Con- necticut. similar to those on the Geor- gia and several other of the United States big fighting ships, was averted bv the presence of mind and heroism of Lieutenant William Biggott Cronan. has just come to light through the sumn1oniug of a board of inquiry at the New York navy yard.
 According to the story Lieutenant Cronan was in charge of one of the eight inch guns on the Connecticut during recenE target practice of New England. As the powder charge was thrust into the gun the Lieutenant no- ticed that from a small hole In the bag a quantity of the powder had es- caped and fallen into the threads ito which the breech lock of the gun screws.
 Realizing that the breech lock would ignite the powder before the block could be firmly screwed home. causing the entire charge to explode back into to the turret, Lieutenant Cronan shouted an order which stopped ever man in the turret as he stood except the man who was .closingi the breech-
 2 He did not hear the shout and con tinued to swing the block home. Lieu. { tenant Cronan sprang forward and thrust his hand into the breech. The sbreech closed on his hand, badly mang. Ling 1t and cleanly cutting off the first finger which fell into the groovers and caused the mechanism to clog.
 The sailor at the breech of the gun waited, when he discovered what hs had done and what he had narrowly escaped doing. If the breech had been closed it Is likely that every man III the turret would have been Killed.
 The board of inquiry was called to determine how the hole came In the powder bag. Lieutenant Crorihn to- night refused to discuss the matter.

A.-
 Tangier. Oct 19.--Tfie Casa Blanca expedition has cost France half a mii- lion dollars up to date for the land operations alone. Including the opera tions Of the French fleet in Moorish waters. the expense totals $s5.00o per day. Spain's refusal to join France in oyerstepping the terms of the AL geciras convention, which Ihas been -accentuated, has. by her abandonment the two nations as envoys tv Sultan Abdul lAziz at Rabat. caused general satisfaction in Morocco.
 The long fast of Ramadan is telling on the spirits Of both the Sultan's, and the two 9Emies, and real fighting be- fore the end of the month Is improb- able.
 In the meantime at Morocco City Muiai Hafg's hands are full Power fui factions there are clamorins for q holy war. which that polhical leader knows would be suicidal folly.

KAISER AS KINGS GUEST.
Empefcr of Germany Goes Tb England
 Next Month


 Next Month.
 London, Oct 19A-The visit of Emper- or William to England next month is fraught with the greatest interest. both personal and political. For years there has heen a barrier of prejudice, between the two countries, but this has been considerably lowered by the di- plomaey of King Edward and his min- isters. It is hoped that tho barrier will entirely disappear as a result of the coming visit of the EmpSror.
 Upon their arrival the Emperor and Empress will proceed at once to Wind sor, where they will stay during the whole of their so1ourn, except for q state visit to London where they will be officially welcomed by the Lord Mayor. It-is expected that the break fast that will be served at the Giuid- hall on. this occasion, together with the street decorations. win coat not less than s20.O0o.
 The duty of extending welcome to their majesties will fall to Sir John Bell. who is soon to take offico as Lord Mayor of London. The address of well come will be contained in a costly gold box. The ceremony will take place in a large pavilion to be erected in Guildhall. yard. which will be hanked bv galleries for the accommodation of privileged spectators.
 The Emperor will have at least three days shooting in Windsor Park, ac-T conlpanied by King Edward and the Prince Of Wales. A command theat- rfcal performance win take place in the Waterloo Chamber. while there will be Q state concert. and also state banquet in St. Georges hall.

REMOVES TO MONTGOMERY.
Colonel And Mrs. Jones To Take ResI,
 deuce Here

Mobilel Oct, 19.-- Special )--col. and Mrs. Harvey E. Jones will leave Mo- bile tomorrow for Montgomery whero they will reside, although Colonel Jones, than whom no man in Mobile is better known. states his removal did not mean he would take with him his citizenship.
 The duties of the office of tax com missioner are such as to require the presence in Montgomery of Colonel Jones more than here and his infirmi- ties being such as to make traveling painful, necessitated his removal tenn porarily to that city.
 The absence of Colonel and Mrs Jones from Mobile county means more than is embraced in mere words, IL means that Mobile county temporarily lends to Montgomery county two of her, most representative and best beloved citizens. Colonel Jones Is represen- tatIve citizen. His wife Is one of the 'sWomen of the Confederacy."
 Colonel Jones was born in Tuscaloosa and at the age Of eight years he re- moved to Spring Hill, this county, with his parents on December 2, 1850. Mobile county has been his continuous resi- dence since that date and it will be a source of pleasure to his friends to know he will retain his citizenship in the county of his early adoption.
