The weather bureau has sent out flood warning to farmers living in the vicinity of Wetumpka and Milstead. Owing to the large amount of rainfall, the Alabama river has risen considerably in the past twenty-four hours
 The river now stands at 21 feet at We tumpka-a rise of II feet. It will ac- cording to the forecast go to about % feet at this point.
 At Millstead the river is now at 25.5 feet-a rise of 16 feet. At this point it will rise to a height of about 29 feet.
 The river now stands at 12 feet at Montgomery-a rise of feet. It will go to 20 feet or slightly above that mark here.
 While the weather bureau does not con slider the rise alarming, yet some low lands will probably be flooded and the crops thereon destroyed. The danger mark at Montgomery is fraction over 35 feet.
 During the 24 hours ending at a. m. today the following rains have been re- ported: Wetumpka 2.34. Millstead IA. Rome Ga, 1.50 Montgomery .3S, Selma 152 Opelika 2.30

Pythian Journal.

In accordance with the recommendation of Grend Chancellor A. M. Garper made at the last meeting of the grand lodge, a movement has been set on foot to pub fish Pythian jurnal. Last week Grand Keeper of Records and Seal George G. Miles, sent out a circular letter to lead ing members of the order seeking to as- certain the extent of the sentiment in favor of such an enterprise and he has received a number of cordial replies. Many of the strongest men of the order assure him of hearty support.
 It is the intention of MT. Miles to asso- ciate with him in the publication of the journal, If 1t Is decided upon, Hervey W. Laird, a well known Montgomery news paper man, who will have active charge of the enterprise. The matter has not assumed definite shape yet, though it looks as if there would be assurances of support in sufficient number to justify launching it in a few weeks.

WINTER OUTLOOK
For Portland Steamer Service Is Now
Very Encouraging.

The outlook for business at this port
this winter is excellent, according to
d statement made by prominent rail-
road man, today. His theory is that
fraights have been so dull the past
year that the supplies on the other side
are getting low while on this side
grain and the many other articles of
export are piiing up ut such enormous
rates Of speed that they have got to be
shipped somewhere and this turn in
tho freight tide he predicted will take
nlaco the coming winter and that Port
land will see an extremely busy sea-
son. He believes that Portland will see
larger and better steamships running
from here this winter and more OF
them.

COAL RATE WAR.
Shippers and Atlantic Carriers Asso.
citation at Odds.

Coal consumers and vessel owners
will be interested in the following news
from Philadelphia: With coal shippers
and vessel owners at odds over a uni
form freight rate to New England
ports, the question Of demurrage has
now arisen. AS result the strife il
more complicated than before.
A bitter war has been carried on for
weeks past, not only here, but at Bal
timore for a uniform freight rate. Coal
shippers have demanded of the vessel
owners rate of not more than 80 cents
ton. The Atlantic Carriers Asso-
citation, composed of n powerful combi-
nation of New England vessel owners,
has refused the demand of the shippers.
In consequence the trade here and at
Baltimore is at a. standstill.
Vessel owners demand that a clause
on the demurrage question be placed
in the charters. Shippers contend that
it is impossible to submit to the de-
murrage clause, as they have no con-
troll over the discharging and loading
of vessels. but are at the mercy of the
receiver of the coal at one end and the
railroad at the other. They say it re-
quires about 175 cars of coal to fiji the
hold Of a 5000 ton schooner and that
delays are bound to occur through
agencies over which they have no con-
troll
Vessel owners. on the other hand.
insist that steamers load on a day
scale, with demurrage. for detention,
sail craft are entitled to the same priv
ilege as every days detention means
loss to the owners. A few shippers
have submitted to the demurragt
clause. The ma jority declare they can
obtain all the schoOnerS and barges re-
quired without such restrictions.
