BIG STRIKE SETTLED.

British Shipbuilders Granted an Increase of Wage*. Glasgow, Dec. 11.—The great shipbuilding strike has been settled. The masters have agreed to grant the Clyde men a shilling a week advance immediately and another shilling advance in February. The strike has also been settled in Belfast, where the men will get a shilling advance in February. The settlement was undoubtedly brought about by the fact that both the Clyde and other ship-building firms were in danger of losing important contracts to build foreign warships, orders for which have already been transferred to German concerns. Chance Among Russian Officials. St. Petersburg, Dec. 11.—General von Wahl has been appointed Governor of Nini Novgorod. His successor as prefect of St. Petersburg will be Kleygels, police master of Warsaw'.
