DETAILS SUPPRESSED.
kitchener's Compulsory Publication In
South Africa Will Not Be Witnessed
by Correspondents.

London, Nov. 26.-London newspa-
per publishers have been informed
that Gen. Kitchener has decided to
expel correspondents from the scene
of war, but the meagerness and color
lessness of recent dispatches present
strong evidence that he is enforcing
in a modified form his Omdurman
edict. kilograms cease to mention de-
tails of the compulsory pacification
of the Beers, on which the eX-Sirdar
is engaged. His chief task now is to
prevent the Dutch in Cape Colony
from learning of the details of farm
burnings and deportation of burgher
families. The latter are now sent to
Natal, when they are not confined in
garrisoned towns in the Transvaal and
the Orange River colony.
Confidantes say that the government
is aware of the black outlook in South
Africa, but it will support Kitchener
to any length if he will only make
the country habitable for refugees,
reopen the mines and abate the war
expenditure, which is still near s1,-

THE FOSSIL FORESTS.
fled Trees in Arizona by the Set

W. a. Richards, assistant commits.
sioner of the general land Office, in
speaking of the fossil forests of Ari.
IONA, says: 1.-The report of Lester f
Ward on his recent visit to the petri.
fled forests was the result of request
from the general land Office for re.
port as to the desirability of reserving
the most interesting portion as ma
tional park, a memorial to congress tt
that effect having passed the legisla'
ture in 1895. A large amount of the
material is now being worked up in this
country into articles to be sold at the
coming Paris exposition"
The petrified forests are in Apache
county, east of Holbrook, and while the
trunks were found over considerable
tract, the best portion of the forest Is
embraced in an area about eight miles
square.
In some portions of this the petriie6
logs lie much more thickly than they
could have stood when living. They
were brought thither by strong and
swift currents and rapidly buried in
tie sand. The trees are completely
silicifed and so well preserved the mi
croscopic structure can be clearly
made out, showing to what families
they belong. Owing to the visits OF
tourists the more beautiful specimens
are steadily being carried away and
destroyed, while many carloads have
been removed to be cut, polished ant
made into ornaments.

HIGH HEELS AGAIN IN STYLE.
The Big Shoe Manufacturer Are Not
Pleased with Return of
That Fashion.

The prospect of setting up" OF
equipping, for the manufacture of high.
heelcd shoes for women confronts the
shoe manufacturers of New England
who are by no means pleased with the
outlook. There is said to be a growing
tendency toward the adoption of the
high heel, and it is predicted that il
may come into as great a demand as il
did in the early SOS, when they were
extremely popular for time.
The changes necessary in fully
equipped factory on the adoption OF
such a radical departure from present
styles would be numerous and entail a
large amount of expense and trouble
New lasts would have to be secured
machinery would have to be renewed
and altered, and the whole plant would
have to be overhauled and fixed over
before it could comply with the
changed conditions.
The manufacturers of shoe machin.
cry would gain the most in the event OF
the expected change. The amount OF
special machinery which would be re.
qured to equip the New England fac
tories would cost several millions and
some of the manufacturers hint that
these interests are active in bringing
about the adoption of the new style.
