HIGH WATER AT PITTSBURG.
Residents in Low Sections Warned Of
Possible Flood

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 15.--Flood
warnings were sent out late last night by
the local weather bureau, stating that
stage of twenty-five feet would be reached
by the rivers this morning. Early this
morning rain was falling along the head
waters of the Allegheny and about this
city, which will have a tendency to further
increase the amount of water.
The crest of the flood was at Freeport
and Mex eesport early this morning. Both
the Allegheny and MonOngahea rivers are
contributing to the rise. Police officials in
this city and Allegheny City were asked to
warn residents in the lower sections of the
city, ana patrolmen were engaged in this
work at ar early hour this morning.
Advices received last night that heavy
rains had fallen at Confluence on the
Youghogheny, and at Johnstown, on the
COnemaugh with flood stages in both rivers
led to the issuance of the flood warnings
The crest reached here about 10 o'clock
this morning. when the marks registered
y feet inches.
An hour later the water began slowly to
recede. It is still raining at up-river points
but the weather is growing cold and the
danger of a serious food is believed to have
passed
Beyond the flooding of the lowlands and
cellars along the river fronts, and the
temporary suspension of work at the Mo-
nongahela coal mines, there was no damage
from the high water.

NOT TO BE TAKEN BACK
DISCHARGED SOLDIERS TO RE-
MAIN OUT OF THE SERVICE.

BY direction of the President and as in
dicated in the message to the Senate Of
the latter yesterday. in relation to the
brownsville affair." Secretary Taft today
issued a special order modifying special
order No. 256 (dsmiSsing the First Bat
talon of the 18th Infantry by striking out
the clause relating to the exclusion of the
discharged soldiers from employment in the
civil service.
With regard to the remainder of the or Ter
Diminishing the soldiers without honor. and
declaring such discharge bars them from
future fe-enllstment in the army or the
navy, the President stated in his message
yesterday that he acted within his con-
stitutional power, and that the order can
not be reversed except by himself. This is
a practical notification to Congress that all
of the present discussion by that body of
the Brownsville ARRAY will be fruitless.
and that it is not within the power of Con-
gress to reinstate the men whom the PreSi-
dent has dismissed.
1t seems to be practically settled that the
President does not consider that any of the
discharged men who have applied for re-
enlistment are entitled to that privilege.
The men themselves have virtually aban-
doned hope in the matter, and privately ad-
init their inability to do more than they
have already done to show their non-com-
plicity in the ARRAY and their ignorance of
the identity of the participants. About six
of the soldiers applied for re-enlistment
about a month ago on the official state
ment that such course was open to inno-
cent members of the discharged battalion
and submitted all the evidence that was
open to them to show their innocence. 1t
is now stated at the War Department that
not a single one of these cases has been yet
taken up for consideration. The cases will
be undoubtedly considered in course of
time when there is not so much other
business on hand.
