BURNING STEAMER
 IS SAFE IN PORT
Several Streams Turned On Blazing Cotton In Her
 Hold

Beaufort, N C., October 2O.--The Mercahnts and Miners steamship Berlx- shire, bound from Savannah for Phil out cove early today with her cotton cargo, is now anchored within 20o yards of shore with passengers and crew safe aboard From the position in which the ship now is, all on board could be landed at any time in any weather and no alarm is felt. It is believed that the ship will be able to continue her trip to Philadelphia to- morrow or Tuesday.
 Captain Hart had the cotton hatch opened today and turned several streams of water upon the blazing car go. Some of the cotton was brought on deck, but the crew will orAy at tempt to keep the. fire under control until assistance arrives, The revenue cutter Seminole, summoned by wireless, will reach the scene tonight, and a wrecking steamer has been dispatched from Norfolk.
 The steamers Frederick and Merri- mae are reported to be en route. to the Berkshire's aid and one of them, 1t is said, will take her passengers on board and proceed to Philadelphia. The Berkshire carried 21 passengers.
 The Berk shire sailed from Savannah Friday with a small number of pas sengers and cargo consisting large
 y of cotton. Fire was discovered in her forward hold shortly before mid night last night, when she was off the North Carolina coast 43 miles north west of Cape Lookout.
 Wireless calls for assistance brought alongside the Clyde liner Apache only % miles away and also bound for Phil edelphia. Had the situation been crit ical passengers and crew could have been transferred from the Berkshire to the Apache without difficulty but as his ship was in no immediate dan ger, Captain Hart decided to make for Cape Lookout Cove. Later the Apache resumed her voyage.
 The Berk shire, built in 1881, is one of the oldest vessels in the coastwise pas senger service.

How Feud viii Die Out.
Since then, conditions have not I'M.
proved much in Nicaragua. Yet they
must improve soon, for the sanitary
state OF the country Is constant
menace to the canal zone and the
financial and economic conditions OF
the republic are desperate. The an
cient rivalry of Leon and Granada,
representing the Liberal and Conser.
vative parties, respectively, is nc
foundation upon which to build either
peace or prosperity. On the contrary.
1t is a sort of feud that will die out
only with the extension of CONNER
cial intercourse. But the extension
of commercial intercourse demands
peace and a security of government
for it's establishment upon any sure
foundation. So, far, the vast unex'
plotted resources of the country have
offered such alluring profits, in spite
Of everything, that the Nicaraguans
are alive to no necessity for com.
plete change in their point Of view
towards their government.
The possibility Of the construction
Of an interoceanic canal through their
territory has thrown their country in
to more international prominence than
any other of the Central American
states, and has implanted in them the
idea of the domination Of Cen
trail American union, which was Ze
layas dearest dream. They have
know the spotlight and will not easily
be persuaded to the uneventful walks
OF mere trade; they are the spoiled
children of Central America, now ca
joled, now flattered. now spanked.

when they must meet Uncle Sam in
the woodshed, and they are bowling
over the prospect.
