 As, . result. of the recent torrentia, rains, the rise in the coosa and Ala mented. The fact that the water passs ing through the Alabama River by Montgomery drains an area of 13.600 square miles. Win give some idea of what these heavy rains mean in their effect on the streams of the State.
 rlood warnings Accurate.
 So far, the flood warnings made by the weather bureau several days ago have been almost exactly verified. 1t was then estimated that the liver would reach forty fleet here and forty-two feet at Selma Yesterday at o'clock the Alabama stood at 4o.7 feet at the foot of Commerce Street. and l2.5 feet at Selma. As the river has risen over twenty feet since the estimate was made. the forecast was very accurate. The warnings have been of fncaiculabfe value to the different interests. and shows that the river. service of the Weather Bureau is of great and direct benefit to the public.
 The highest reading of the Alabama at this place was 5S.7 feet in April. 1886. On January 16.<18s2 1t wes b4.0 feet. On March 22, 1906. the river was 50.2 feet at Montgomery. These are the highest readings or previous years. According to the latest onfcfsI fore. cast the river may reach about hfty feet at wetumpka. Montgomery and Selma on this rise. The crest of the flood will probably reach Montgomery Saturday afternoon.
 At 6 o'clock the river stood at fs.S feet at Rome, a rise of 0.5 feet In three hours. and still rising and still rain in. Gadsden was S2o.s feet at V the same time. rise. of 8 feet in three hours, during which time .ss inches of rain fell. still raining and river stiii rising. ef
 At wetumpka the river reed l6.s feet at 6 o'clock, a rise of 6, feet In three hours, still rising but no rain. At the foot of Commerce Street at o'clock yesterday afternoon the gusge showed "a reading of 41.4 feet. rise of .7 feet since o'clock yesterday afternoon with the water still rising.

 Under the conventions signed at the Central American peace conference at Washington in 1907. the neutrality of
 Honduras is guaranteed and each re- public is pledged not to interefere with the government and the so1idity of
 others. This conference hsving been brought about by the United States and Mexico whose geographical proxi- mity and, political interests compel
 them to be vitalIy Interested in the peace of Central America, impose upon those two governments moral right and obligation which makes 1t imposs- ible for them to escape grave concern ins<'a situation like that reported. It is understood that the two govern steps which they would be compelled to~take If the present disapp pointins and highly -unsatisfactory situation should unfortunately develop and meanwhile they are observing events with real care. v
 The reported turbulence at Mana qua may account for the fact that tho government of Nicaragua has thus far failed to make serious efforts to carry out an agreement made with the United States more than. two years ago for the settlement of the celebrated
 Emery case.
 ,y1t' will be recalled that some months
 ago Mir. Coolidge. minister to Nicara-

 proved by the department of State,

 futility of further negotiations In

LAND BUY ERS APPEAR
In FEDERAL COURT
Second Suit Against Railroad and
Purchasers OF Land Brought
Into Court.

Forty-six purchasers Of granted
lands from the Oregon & California
Railroad company made their formal
appearance in the United States fed
eral court in Portland on Monday.
This Is the second suit brought by
the government to secure for
felture TO all lands in Oregon grant
ed to the Hartman railroads by
congress in 1866. The first suit was
brought directly against the rail-
roads, now holding some 100000
acres Of unsold lands. This second
suit Is brought against the railroads
and the purchaser, a number Of
whom are well-known local people.
Some 100000 acres of land have
been sold, and the first motion made
in the suit Is to compel the railroad
to deposit with the court all the
money received for this land. The
second effort is to cause the title to
the different parcels of land to re-
vert from the purchaser to the rail-
road company. This causes the land
which has been sold to become again
part OF the original grant which
the government demands shall be
forfeited.
