Honduraa win Sue.

Washington, July 11.--Great interest was manifested at the State Depart rhent and in the Central American dip- lomatIc colony in the news that Hon. duras had instituted suit before the Central American court of justice against Salvador and Guatemala. charging them with promoting the Honduras revolution.
 It Is the first suit of that character brought before the court and the out come will be watched closely, involv- ing. as 1t must. the question whether a regularly constituted government can be civilly held for damages for acts committed by any of its subjects against another with which the Gov ernment may be at peace.
 While the treaty agreed on by the peace conference last year contem- plated reference to the court of dis- puted questions, 1t was hardly expected that the very first issue will be of the charge which has now been submitted to the tribunal.

Nlcaragua rlles Complalnt.

ManaG ua, Nlc.s Juty l1--IAe &lCh~ raguan government has presented a Court of Justice located at Cartago. Costa Rico. based on the allegation that the governments of Guatemala and Salvador have rendered assistance to the revolutionists of Honduras and the Nicaraguan refugees who are allied with them.
 This fact. the Nicaraguan govern ment alleges. menaces the peace of the Nicaraguan Republic. President Zelaya is organising an army to protect the Nicaraguan from tier and his action to this end receives the support of the people of the coun- try.
 A request has been sent in from Porto Cortez. Honduras. for Mexican warships to protect Mexican interests,
 The Honduran government is said here to have irrefutable proof of It's all legations that the governments of Sal- vador and Guatemala have given aid to the Honduran revolutionists. There is reason to believe that serious engage ments soon will occur.
 The rebels have captured the towns of Nacaone and Bien and Santa Rosa and Copien are menaced. The revolu- tionists have been almost uniformly victorious.
 Nicaragua Is fearful of the outcome of the movement in Honduras for there Is reason to believe that the plan Of the allies first to establish joint gov ernment in Honduras as soon as Daviia Is driven cut and then to advance upon and overthrow the zelaya government nthis Republic.
 May Involve Whole Country. Mexico City. July 11--Mexico is watching developments in Central America with. tho keenest interest. News of the charges brought by President DaVala, against Presidents Cabrera and Figueroa was conveyed to the state department here today by the Associated Press. The Minister of Foreign Affairs refused to comment upon the dispatches owing, he said, to the delicate status of the question at this time.
 It is known that the department Of the United States is indulging in long telegraphic exchanges over the situa- ton and. that both governments are prepared to intervene as soon as Hon. duras makes the request. So far as can be learned that request has not been made to the Mexican state De- partment
 startling rumor which at this time lacks official confirmation is to the ef- feet that Puerto Cortez. on the Pacific coast of Honduras and near the Guate- malan border has been invaded by q force organized in the latter country. If this report proves true it is declared that the whole of Central America will shortly be involved in hostilities.
 Intervention on the part of both Mexico and the United States as pro- vided in the pact adopted by the recent Washington peace conference, Is freely predicted here.
 Officials all pessimfsttc relative to the good faith of the Central America n governments living up to the peace compact.

Never a One Day President.

The periodic assertion is made that on Sunday, March 4, 1849. Senator Da. vid Rice Atchison of Missouri. who was then president pro tenn. of the senate. was president of the United States virtually" He never was, virtually" or otherwise.
 In 1793 congress enacted that in event of no president or vice president being ready to succeed the first office should devOlve on the president of the senate and next on to the speaker of the house. The succession was changed in 1886. Now, Zachary Fay. Tor and Willard Fillmore were in Wash ingtOn on March 4. 1949. It being Sun- day, they permitted an interregnum to follow until the next day. Mr. Atchi- son took no oath as president, and without taking such he could not ex- ercise the office. MT. Taylor could have taken the oath at any second subsequent to noon on March 4. No pompous inauguration is demanded. The chief justice need not administer the oath. Arthur took it in New York before Judge Brady at &. m. and MT. Roosevelt in Buffalo before United States Judge Hazel.
 The virtually" of MT. Atchison Is visionary unless by some bolt from the blue the elected officials had been re- mOved.-Pittsburg Post

At the end of the ninth inning the score was 9 to 9, and rr- mained so through the tenth and eleventh; at the twelfth inning the Eagles made four runs, winning in score of 13 to 9. Although victory finally perched upon the pinions of the Eagles, the defeat WAS no discredit to the visiting club. as the score will show. The game was close and ex- ,iting all through, or, as 8 bystausfer it. it was "nip and tuck " The Blue Birds played with zeal and energy. and were handled with great kill and coolness by Capt.

A FAMOUS DUEL.
The Fatal Meeting Between COmmo-
 dores Barron and Decatur.

The Fatal Meeting Between commo- dores Barron and Decatur. On March 2. 1920, was fought one
 of the most memorable duels in the an
 nals of the United States. Commodore
 Decatur and Commodore Barron met
 on the fatal field near BladeDsburg
 that day. Both participants were wounded, Decatur mortally. dying within a few hours after the encoun- ter The causes which led to the i'll feeling between these two naval heroes have never been accurately determined
 but 1t is generally supposed that De catur's harsh criticism of Barron on account of the latter not returning from abroad to take part in the war brought about the breach. Certain it is that Decaturs words were repeated to Bar ron, and a correspondence between the two ensued. which probably resulted in the challenge. The impending duel was kept profound secret Only q few of the most intimate friends of the respective participants had even an inkling of 1t. Decatur was the first to arrive upon the scene He was accom- panied by Commodores Rodgers and Porter and several other friends. Bar ron arrived few minutes later The combatants bowed stift1y to each other and stood waiting for their friends to measure off the ground and make the final arrangements.
 Il hope. sir" said Barron as they took their places, that when we meet ln another world we shall be better friends than we have been in this"
 Decatur is said to have haughtily re- garded his adversary a moment and then replied:
 "Sir, l have never been your enemy"
 A moment later the word was given. and two shots rang out simultaneously. Barron fell almost immediately. De- catur strengthened himself, but the pis- tol fell from his grasp, and in mo- ment he was upon the greensward writhing in agony. He was raised by his friends and carried nearer the road, where Barron was lying
 II wish I had fallen in the service of my country" Decatur muttered, WuereupOu bdFrOu lOOK0O up.
 Everything has been conducted most honorably," he said.
 Then, turning his eyes upon Decatur:
 'I am mortally wounded. Commo- dore Decatur, forgive you from the bottom of my heart"
 AS Decatur was being lifted into a carriage Bainbridge. whom Decatur had once rescued from a Moorish pris- on, stopped down and kissed his cheek.
 With his head upon Rodgers shoul- der and in company with a physician, Decatur was driven slowly back to the city and carried into his residence on Lafayette square, where he died a few hours afterward.
 The news of the duel spread like wildfire through the city. The follow ing day John Randolph offered con- sOlatory resolutions in congress, which, however, were promptly objected to, and the press vigorously denounced the practice of dueling.
 Barron ultimately recovered from his injury, but 1t is said the memory of the fatal duel darkened his life ever afterward. He lived until the year 1851 and had charge of several vessels. At his own request he was court mar tialed upon the charges made against him by Decatur and exonerated.-Ex- change
