ANNUAL DECREASE IN
DEPTH OF SALTON SEA
Willis Moore Predicts That It Will
Soon Be Thing Of the
Past.

Decreasing in depth probably five or six
feet annually, Salton sea probably will
be a thing OF the past in. a number of
years. according to Chief Willis l.. Moore
of the weather bureau. who was dis
cussing the evaporation observations con-
Quoted there. I'VE have had one good
year of observations over that lake" he
said. land l would like to continue them
another year. We do not intend to main
tain this station during the entire time
peSiod the sea is there. We will get the
entire data we want within another year
probably, and then we can cut off the
Salton sea stations.
I'VE have a tower erected in the mid
die of the lake. evaporation pans adjusted
at the surface and at different attitudes
up the tower and on each side of the
lake opposite the tower, and then at GER
tain intervals from the lake. We can
thus measure the rate of evaporation
with incident winds upon the lake and
with the winds that so from it. We
found that five miles from the lake the
humidity had not increased. The infiu-
ence of these great bodies of water is not
felt to a great distance. The influence
of a cold spring wind blowing from Lake
Michigan will be lost five miles inland

tain will be valuable for: calculations on

MAY CLASH SOON.
Nicaraguan Opposing Armies March.
ing Toward Each Other.

The State Department has received
nothing of consequence from Nicaragua
during the last two days. The Estrada
forces. as well as those of the Manasua
government are supposed to be marching
toward each other. with the probability
Of a collision taking place at Acoyapo
It Is possible. however, that Estrada's
men may make a detour to Greytown
with a view of capturing that city before
proceeding westward. The government
force at Greytown is not thought to be of
sufficient strength to make any decided
stand against the revolutionists there.
The fact that the American gunboats
on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua are
gathering in the vicinity Of Greytown is
taken as an indication that the American
officers believe that Greytown may be the
scene of activity shortly. The Tacoma,
which was recently at Bluefields, has
started from Bocas del Toros to Grey
town. and the Marietta is at Port Limon,
Costa Rica, short distance from Grey
town.

pay and allowances, and to he confined
at hard labor for three months. The
sentence was approved.
A similar sentence was imposed in the
case of Private John Mccormick, 18th
Company, Coast Artillery Corps, at Fort
Washington. He was convicted of being
drunk in camp and with engaging in an
alteration with another soldier. Evil
dence of five previous convictions was also
considered in this case. The sentence
was approved.
Private Allen T. Kelley. 10th Company,
Coast Artillery Corps, was found guilty

ment steamer Gen. Robert Swartwout,

Balfour on Reform of the Lords.

MIR. Balfour last night at Ipswich fol-
lowed Lord Lansdowne with regard to
the reform of the house of lords. by all
MEANS he said, ''let us reform the house
of lords in order to strengthen it,
He proceeded: Let us ask any Ameri-
can citizen whether he thought life would
be worth living if the elaborate precau-
tons taken by the trainers of the Con-
sttution were disregarded. and only the
House of Representatives should rule. He
would reply that the man who made such
a suggestion was lunatic.
Mr.. Balfour wished that the question of
the reform of the house of lords could be
dealt with by both parties. irrespective of
party. He instanced the Irish home rule
bill as an instructive example of the need
Of second chamber Home rule had
been twice adopted by the house of
commons, but had been repudiated by the
common sense of the community.
If the radicals have their way" he
asked, would the community have
chance of giving their opinion?"
The opposition leader also devoted part
Of his speech to denouncing the liberals
home policy and to pointing out the
advantages of tariff reform.
He made no reference to the storm his
last speech raised in Germany.

Mr.. Kirby's Letter.

while the National Association of
Manufacturers is deeply interested in the
question of uniform legislation. having
committee which is devoting much time
and thought to the subject and working
in conjunction with the uniform state
laws commissioners it would naturally
wish to cooperate in the proposed con-
ference. yet | am conscious of the tact
that any earnest movement looking to
the promotion of uniform state laws
should be conducted solely by men hav-
ing sincere motives and who will obey
our laws and respect the decisions of our
courts, and that men who openly declare
they will do neither of these things, ex-
cept al their pleasure, should have no
voice in any conference respecting leglS-
lation intended to apply TO all citizens
irrespective of classes, whether such leg
islation be proposed as uniform through
out the states or otherwise.

men and the doctrines they preach, and
which. in so far as they can. they exc

The letter concludes by expressing the
personal opposition of the writer to hav-

promises to submit the proposition to the
board of governors and to execute it's

with his views and wishes.

was sorry to see the leader of a great

the extremity of following in the foot
steps of the most discredited type OF
politician in the United States. Such
talk was dangerous to the worlds peace
and disgrace to British politics.
Great Britain, the chancellor went on
in her time had warred with almost every
country, but never with Germany. On
the contrary, she had generally had Ger
many fight side by side with her. During
the past decade Great Britain had built
nearly double the number of battleships

were inversed he would not be afraid. be-

Increase in Commerce.

With reference to the effect of the
budget on trade the chancellor took the
unusual course of prematurely announc-
ing to the meeting the returns of the
board of trade for December. They
showed an increase in exports over De-
cember of 1908 amounting to S21 10000
The biggest year British trade ever saw
was 1907, and, the chancellor pointed out.
trade for the last month was better than
in December, 1907, by s5.O0O,000 and over
in exports, and if they took both exports
and imports 1t was better by $4,000, 600.
Furthermore, the increase in imports
was not in manufa ctured goods, but raw
material and food. 1t looked as though
the coming year would be the biggest
that British trade, from the foundation
Of the empire, ever had experienced.
