WILSON FIRST To
ENTERTAIN QUEEN
ELEANoRE OF BULGARIA, CON-
ING TO THIS COUNTRY
NEXT MONTH.

Washington, d. c., April 1.-Presi-
dent Wilson, who has confessed his
extreme distaste for the formalities
and ceremonies that are necessarily a
part of his daily life, seems destined
by the irony Of fate to be the first
occupant of the White House to be
called upon to entertain a reigning
queen. Some time back the cable
dispatches told of an intended visit
# Queen Eleanore of Bulgaria to the
United States. These have now been
fficially confirmed and the time Of
he visit fixed for next month.
1t will not be the first time that the
nointed of the Lord have visited the
United States. Most memorable of
II the visits of royalty was that Of
he Prince of Wales, later King Ed
ward VII. The Grand Duke of Olden-
burg, a reigning sovereign, paid a
visit to his country many years ago.
Dom Pedro of Brazil, Prince Henry of
Prussia, brother of the German en-
peror; the Duke of Connaught, uncle
of King George; several Russian
grand dukes, and the Infanta Eulalie
of Spain and numerous other represen-
tatives of royalty have been here from
time to time. Even Gear Ferdinand
of Bulgaria, the consort of Queen
Eleanore, has been visitor to the
United States. But Queen Eleanore
will have the distinction of being the
first reigning Queen who ever stepped
foot in this country.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, April 1.-Grave fears
are entertained that backwaters from
Fearl river will cause another inunda-
tion along Town creek within the
next forty.eight hours. The river
continues to rise steadily, and fed by
the heavy rain of Tuesday. which was
general throughout this Section, will
probably reach the S9-foot stage by
Friday morning. In that event inun-
dation from the back waters in Town
creek will be inevitable.
The river was barely able to carry
off the Town creek flood Tuesday
afternoon. Only the swiftness of the
flow, after seve hours Of torrential
rains, saved the business district from
repetition Of Saturday disaster. At
North Gallatin Hill, Parish and Capt.
/ tol Street bridges, the flood water
came within two and half feet of
Saturdays high water mark.
Damage inflicted so far has been
slight, ample warning having been
given. Reports are pouring in of
heavy damage in the country districts
caused by the excessive rainfall of
Tuesday. Many bridges were washed
away, fences carried off, and crops
planted in lowlands practically de-
stroyed.
The total damage in the territory
i Immediately surrounding Jackson will
amount to several hundred thousands
Of dollars.
The rainfall record for Jackson dur
ing the past twenty-four hours is 3.06
inches, making total of 1916 inches
within the past five days.

The House of Representatives af-
erone Of the most spectacular legis-
lative struggles in the history of the
nation, voted to repeal the provision
of the Panama Canal act exempting
American vessels from the payment
of tolls The vote on the repeal bill
was PAT to 161, a majority of S6 votes
in support Of the personal plea of
Woodrow Wilson, President Of the
United States.

gle within the party since Democracy
took control Of the government year
ago.
Today the bill goes to the Senate,
where the fight win be renewed with
all the vigor and determination that
attended it in the lower House.

Washington. April THAT the
American people are behind President
Wilson and supporting his policy Of
equal tolls for vessels using the Pan
anna Canal is shown by careful inves-
tigation Of opinion in FIVE great states,
made at the instance of the Demo-
cratic leaders who are with the Pres
ident.
When the question of repeating the
exemption clause came to the fore,
there were serious intimations that
the Presidents attitude would prove
unpopular and that the disregard of
party platform plank might be re-
sented in the country.
For the purpose Of definitely learn
ing whether these fears were based
on fact, former Gov. Robert B..
Glenn of North Carolina, has made
close canvass of the states of New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North
Carolina and Michigan. The first
four of these states, being located on
the Atlantic seaboard, are vitality con-
cerned in the advantages given coast
wise vessels.
Ex-Gov. Glenn made his, investiga-
'tion as a member of the International
joint Commission, to which he was
recently appointed. His object was to
ssift out popular sentiment personally
and submit a report to the President
and the leaders here.

favor of the President and against
