MEXICO UNMOVED BY THE WARNING Publication of the Message Creates No Percepti-
 ble Stir

Mexico City. April 15.-The message of Acting Secretary Huntington Will son to the Mexican government through Ambassador Wilson, duly delivered to the foreign office, had not been trans lated tonight into Spanish and official ly it's contents were not known to the ministers On that ground no official comment was forthcoming.
 The message published in Spanish and English in the morning papers created no perceptible stir in the capitol
 Jesus Flores Magnon, minister of the Interior. assuming that one of the chief causes for the warning was the shoot ing of Thomas Fountain under Orozcos orders, expressed grave doubts of the American nationality of the man. He also doubted the authenticity of the report that Villa had threatened to make reprisals, as reported, by shoot ing Americans falling into his hands from the enemy's ranks. He believed that Fountain had put himself outside the protection of the law even though he were an American within the mean ing of President Taft's proclamation of some weeks ago.

THE ROYAL PAIR OF RUSSIA
A Glimpse At the Browning of the
 Czarina

From the New York Sun.
 The widow of an American diplomat. who has published her memoris of for eign courts in "Intimacies of Court and Society" describes the royal pair of Rus sia as they looked at their coronation.
 'rhe Czarina was easily the mast beau- tiful woman to be seen, and many sr~ke of her as the artists ideal of the quen,y queen. But her loveliness had nothing of the vanity which seeks public hom- age; it had rather the appealing sentle- ness which made her mother. under the happy freedom of English skies, the most beloved princess of her day, and to me she was more the type of the sheltered woman to be mated to a Brutus of lofty soul. Her face upon her coronation day was charged with profound emotion-it has haunted me ever since. It was like the face of martyr walking with meas ured steps to her funeral pyre.
 And the man who was the center of the gorgeous pictures, whose autocratic aloftness and sancity of person were proclaimed by every possible accessory of pomp and sacred ceremonial. produced in himself no Illusion of royalty such as may impress and thrill even the most democratic when face to face with a king who is really kingly. His narrow fore head and receding chin, visible even be- hind the beard. spoke little of intelligence and nothing of power. while the nsignifi- canoe of his small form was emphasized beside the tall men of his family, splendid looking fellows, all over six feey.

All Records Broken

Tallulah, La, April 15.-The height of the flood waters of the Mississippi pour ing with increasing force through the Dogtail crevasse is already far in cx- cess of any previous similar catastrophe The people of the southern part of the district and in Tensas and Concordia par ishes must be prepared for the worst food in the history of the Mississippi valley.
 To add already to the terrible situation in Tallulah and the surrounding country a wind and rain ragged all afternoon with a record rainfall of six inches in 10 hours The people are working frantically 10 save the remaining half part of town. The water. however, continued to rise two inches an hour. The break at Dogtail was reported to be rAore than a mile and half wide and the great bulk of the upper flood waters are rushing over this valley.
 Indescrbable panic prevailed later The water is as far as the vista extends. Tt is from 10 to 15 feet deep in North Tallulah.
 The inhabitants are in need of food supplies other than those sent here from Vicksburg. Unless immediate relief is re- ceived the suffering of those without places to stay will be intense. Water from the Salem crevasse continued to rise

 The Red Fork levee in Arkansas broke several days ago and has since been add ing great volume of water to the all ready swollen Ouachita. Old residents and rivermen see no way in which this city can escape the flood. The ques- tin is how deep the water will ga> in this territory.

HANDWRITING OF
 MINISTER COMPARED

Fort Worth, Tex, April 15.-Three wit nesses- today compared the chiroeraphy of a sermon written by Rev. Frank Nor ris, pastor of the Fort Worth First Bap- tlst church congregation, with that of anonymous letters received by Rev. Nor ris and G. H. Mcconnell, a banker of this city. The witnesses had qualified to the satisfaction of the court as hand writing experts and each gave it as his opinion that the writing on the manu- script and that in the letters was not made by the same person.
 Rev. Norris is on trial on the charge of perjury in connection with testimony before the grand jury relative to author ship of the letters. In turn the defense alleges a conspiracy to send the pastor to the penitentiary.
