CHANGING NATURES FACE.
Two HiIis on the st- Louis worlds Fair Site to Re Used to
 Fill Up Valleys.

St. Louis, March I6.Two hills on tho Worlds fair site, one 40 and the other 90 feet high, will furnish the earth necessary to fill the deep draw, which breaks the grade of the exposi- tion grounds, near it's juncture with the Washington university tract.
 The work entailed in the removal of these hills calls for the letting of the largest grading contract to be awarded in the Worlds fair con struction period. It contemplates the .moving of 2s0,ooo cubic yards of earth at an estimated cost of S45,- 900. Twelve contractors, including all of the leading firms of St. Louis, are bidders for the work.
 The gullies and hills in the western part of the site, where formerly the wooded wilderness" mace tangled jungle, are so large and. deep that to permit the laying of railway switches and the construction of exposition streets, grading is imperative. The grading is so heavy here that either steam shovels or graders will be nec- essary. Boring into both of the hills indicates that no rock will be en- countered
 Earth moving Is the principal work being done just now on the site. Great masses of earth have been moved on the site of the Varied InS dustries building. Grading has been begun for the switch which will serve the Electricity and Machinery build ing and the Textile building.
 The problem of transplanting live trees to their positions along the avenue of the exposition, before these forest denizens shall have com menced to put forth their leaves, is being grappled with in earnest by the director of works. He has let another tree-removing contract to the o. B. Strunk Tree-Moving Co.
 This concern will transplant 100 trees in addition to those which the Detroit Shade Tree Co. is moving. MT. Strunk says that he will move ten trees . days, and it is expected that they will have been planted in the next two or three weeks. Cham nels have been dug around the treea now standing, to retard the growth and enable them to be removed be- fore the foliage begins to appear, af- ter which they are worthless for transplanting.

LORD METHUEN's DEFEAT.
Gen. Kitchener Sends Further Particulars
 of the Fight Cleaned From Lord MAthuen.

London, March 17.The war office has received the following communi- cation from Lord Kitchener at Pre- toria:
 Lord Mcthuen has sent me a staff officer with a dictated dispatch, fyom which 1t appears that certain pariic- ulars previously given arc inaccurate. The rear screen of mounted troops was rushed and overwhelmed at dawn. There was a gap of a mile be- tween the OK and the mule convoys. The mounted supports to the rear of the screen, with Gen. Methuen immediately reinforced bv all the available mounted troops and a sec tion of the Thirty-eighth battery, maintained themselves for an hour, during which the conveys were clos ing up without disorder.
 In the meanwhile, 200 infantry be- ing disposed by Lord Methuen to re- sist the Boer attack, which was out hanlSing the left of the rear guard, the Boers pressed that attack hard, and the mounted troops attempting to fall back on the infantry, got com pletely out of hand carrying away with them in the rout the bulk of the mounted troops. The guns of the Thirty-eighth battery were thus left unprotected, but continued in action until every man, with the exception of Lieut. Nesham, was hit. Lieut.. Ne sham was called on to surrender, and upon refusing ia do so, was killed.
 Lord Methuen, with 200 of the Northumberland Fusileers and two guns of the fourth battery, then found himself isolated, but held on for three hours. During this period the remaining infantry namely, 100 of the Lancashires, with some 40 mounted men, mostly Cape police, who had occupied the kraal near the wagons, also continued to hold out against the repeated attacl1s of the Boers, This time Lord Methuen was wounded, and the casualties were ex- ceedinAly heavy amongst his men. The ammunition was mostly eNpcnd- ed, and khe surrender was made at about halk-past nine in the morning.
 The paINy in the kraal still lield out, and diN not give in until two guns and Apmpon were brought to bear upon theN at about ten o'clock, making their Apsition untenable.
 It is contirnAed that most of the Boers wore our INalSi uniforms. Many also wore our badges. Even at close quarters they couNd not be distin- gaiShed from our ovA men

 the United States.
DESIGNED TO FILL 4 LONG FELT WANT.
zt VIII He the Most Expensive Club Tn England, the Entrance Fee Be- ing Fifty Pounds--Lndics Will be Allowed the Privileges of Certain Rooms.

London, March 16.--The report that Americans will shortly have Lon don club equal in exclusiveness and permanence to any of the leading clubs in the United States, is con- firmed. An influential AngIo-Ameri- can committee has been formed for the purpose of arranging all the de- tails and getting the organization ready prior to the coronation of King Edward. Among the committee are Lords Kintorc, Suf1icld, Craven and Marcus Beresford, Mai.~Gen. Sid Reginald Pole-Carew, Anthony Drexef and Reginald D. Ward. Other prom- inent men, both British and Asne1% ican, are expected to join the organ izing body in the near fntuwe. The clubs name will probably be the Co., lumbia, and it's quarters will be in large building now occupied by the Avondale hotel Picadilly. near St. James street. The object is to afford Americans, who arc barred by their nationality from several leading London clubs, n social headquarters in the British capital such as they have at home. Ladies will be allowed the privilege of admission to certain rooms, including the dining roona When started this will be the most expensive club in England. the en- trance fee, $50, being more than the fee asked by any English.
 Any members of the leading Amer jean organizations, such as the Union and kniclSerboclSer clubs, of New York; the Somerset club, of Boston, and the Metropolitan club, of Wash ington, will be admitted without bal lot, for temporary membership. To quote one of the founders of the club. ~It will be a club de luxe, ! where the American of good social standing can feel as much at home as they would at the Metropolitan club, of New York, and yet have the opportunity of meeting the incest people in England on equal terms"
 Only a few weeks ago one of the oldest English clubs passed q bylaw prohibiting Americans from becom- ing members.

LULLED HIM TO SLEEP.

The Memphis CommerciaI-Appeal
of Sunday published the following
about Senator McLaurin and credits
same to Exchange:
While Senator McLaurin of Missis-
sippi was discussing the Philippine
bilIin the senate recently there was
a notable absence of senators, not
more than half dozen being in their
seats. Back in the last row, in Sena-
tor Warren's seat there was compact
little bunch Of humanity covered up
in light suit of spring clothes, the
most conspicuous article in the make
up being a new white waistcoat. The
wearer of the waistcoat had evident
ly been lulled to sleep by the soft
voice and soothing sentences of the
Mississippi senator. The face of the
sleeper was obviously obscured by
the fullness of the waistcoat, SO that
only the top of his bead was visible.
AS Senator Hawley is the only MEM
Der of the senate who has the sleep
ing privilege during the sessions,
one of the officers of the senate was
directed to arouse the sleeping
visitor AS heavy hand was laid
upon his shoulder the round, ruddy
and youthful face of Representative
Lands, of Indiana, slowly arose out
of the depths of linen. Mr.. Lands
looked confused, bowed his excuses
to the empty seats and hurried out
of the chamber"

FOR operation Cor Che fall business.
Now this is something that is prac-
tical. OF course the Progress does
not oppose cotton factory, but ac-
scording to the amount of capital in
vested thereis more money in a cot

tory and the former will give more
business to the town in which it is
located for the fact it does not work

child labor and children cannot de-
mand good wages.

THE PRIMARY LAW.

Ex-Lieutenant Jones of Woodville
does not mince his words on any
subject when he feels certain that he
is right. He was seen by a Jackson
correspondent the other day and IN
the course of the conversation lie
gave utterance to the following:
THE people down in our section of
the state are opposed to the new pri-
mary law" said Governor Jones,
land hope to see it declared uncen-
stitutlonal by the supreme coufe In
any candid opinion it is unconstitu-
tional. The Legislature has no legal
rightto assume charge of the political
parties and dictate the manner in
which they shall choose their candi-
dates. 1t is dangerous precedent
to set and threatens the liberty of
the people.
I'VE have an excellent crop out
look in the southern section, although
cotton is somewhat late. 1t is inn
possible to tell in June what any crop
is going to make, but the outlook is
about as favorable as could be de-
sired.''
