Hot Shot for McKinley. Pettigrew^ Fiery Speech in the Senate Friday. Washington, Jan ll.-? spirited and at times sensational debate was precipitated tn the senate today on the Philippine qoestioo over r?solu tions of inquiry. Senator Pettigrew, .f South Dakota, attacked the admin? istration's policy in the Philippines and also made some startling charges against those who were supporting the administration. He declared that a systematic effort was being made f to prevent accurate information from reaching the people of the United States, and that it was a political scheme to further the candidacy of Mr McKinley for renomination and reelection. Before adjournment the senate, j after prolonged debate, passed the bill conferring additional powers upon the director of the census. At the opening the Pettigrew resolution and the Lodge substitute, both seeking from the president ail information regarding the Philippine insurrection, were laid before the senate Senator Lodge suggested that both be with? drawn and the Hoar resolution adopt ed i s a substitute Tue resolution offered by Senator Hoar wa6 sweeping in its call for information relating to the Philippine insurrection, bu: Senator Lodge said his desire for all information concerning the insurrection was so great that he proposed to offer an amendme t extending its provisions. Senator Lodge said he wanted information especially as to the effect of the encouragement the Filipinos , received from the United States Senator Hoar agreed with Senator Lodge. Senator Pettigrew objected. He wanted specific information, re gardiess of whether the president -wanted it known or not He launch? ed into a scathing attack on the ad ministration. He charged the govern t ment with withholding information for political gain The trouble with the imperialists, said Senator Petti grew, "is that they have confounded the interests of the people of the United States with the political de sires and ambitions of their puny m president and regarded him and his [ success as more important than a rightful treatment of the Filipinos - The fact is this whole business is bound up in the president's desire again to be a candidate of bis party for president."' Senator Pettigrew discussed the censoring of dispatches from tbe Phii lippices He declared that important and significant fasts had been stricken from news di?patche9 from Manila and from officiai reports. "As an instance ot this work,'" 6aid be, **the Sula treaty was mangled and party suppressed until after the election io Ohio." He declared the proclama? tion issued by-the president was, on the recommendation of Gen Otis, altered materially by the president before it was published to the Philippine natives. As originally drawn it was to his mind a fiat declaration cf war, and when Aguinaldo ard his leaders esme into possession of the original they so regarded it .*Tne whole wretched business," j declared Senator Pettigrew, vehement ly, *'war> one cf concealment aod duplicity, intended to deceive, not only tfce people of tbe Uoited States, but also the islanders themselves." In substantiation of bis charge that the diepatcbee from the Philippines were censored in tbe interests of the administration Seoator Pettigrew quoted from a letter written by Mr Robert M. Coliios, Associated Press representa? tive at Manila. In this letter Mr Collins related the substance of an interview upon .the subject of censoring dispatches which he had had with Gen Otis. Senator Pettigrew read the statements of Mr. Collin?, ic wbicb he had said it was the evident desire of tbe officials to prevent certain information from reaching the people of the United States. When be (Collies) bad filed a dispatch containing informaron which be thought was proper to seed to the Uoited States he had been informed by the censor tbat bis instructions were to cat out anything that might irjure the ad ministration Subseqaentiy. wheo he had desired to seod a story reiatiog to the ase of silver in the Philippines, the censer bad told him that his isstrco ttoDS were to allow nothing to pa^s bim which would be heiofnl William Jen nines Bryan in the Ucired Starre Upon th:a poiot Senator Pettigrew became particularly sarcastic aud again adverted to what he termed the prc-si dent's desire to succted himself zs president, eveo though essential infor? mation had to be suppressed to accom? plish that end. Senator Pettigrew declared that the president himself really began the war and was responsible for it. "if," said he, ' the administration had had a spark of honor io doa.iog with the .Filipinos it would have told Gfo Merritt to Jay the whole truth of the intentions cf the govern m tnt before ^^ninaldo and his associates."' He heaved this would have averted (ralf rbe '^rouble. The sheeting by United Starrte sentries of thc Filipinos tba t'.ght of February 4, the opeotog o? cstiiities, was,'* be taie. ' a foul blow and we were guiity of duphciry ana rreaobery .io killin? those men That j we bad fired tbe first *hot which had j precipitated hostilities nobody denied " j ETeo^*t^Mbe fighting had begun, j ; ho said, an effort was made by Agui I na?do ro secure a suspension cf hestiii j tie?, but be had bet-o ;:.id by G^u Otis j that now the fighting had begun it j must continue to the grim end. j "If," said Spoar.-r Pettigrew, "? ! wpre a Filipino ? w"uld fight uotii I j was gray a^aiDst the unholy aggression ?of toe United Stales. If this country j is wrong this country could tako no j j grander position before tbe nations of the wjr;d than to admit that it is wrong. We have reached the turning . itot. We must decide whether we are to pursue a course of rapacity and aggression on the British principle, or to pursue a course of justice and right No catios long can pursue sucn a course ab the imperialists have rnarkeo out for us-a course of wrong std treachery to friends-and hope to stand j well before the nations of the world " ! What is Sassafras Good For ? This is a question that was asked the other day by a correspondent oi The New8aud Courier, and the Savan nah News makes the following an swer : The correspondent, if he is a native of the south, has probably been iamil iar with the plant ali his lite No doubt he has drank sassasfras tea hundreds of times, smacked his lips over it and asked for more Never? theless he knows no more of it than that sassafras is a shrub or tree, the roots, branches and leaves cf which have a rather strong, pungent, aro? matic and rather eweetistb taste, 3nd that tea is sometimes made of the bark of the roots Familiarity with the sassafras has made it uniuterest ing ; nobody in the south pays a great deal of attention to it. It grows almost everywhere, and es? pecially likes the soils of oid fields and hedge rows It grows wiid. To suggest to the Georgian or South Carolinian that sassafras be cultivated would be laughed at. Nevertheless the sassafras plant is ! foll of virture from the lowest point ? cf the tap root to the crown of iis foliage Bark, ieave6, wood, pith, the roots contain valuable proper? ties The leaves are heavily charg ed with a mucilaginous juice which may be made to serve every purpose of gum arabic The pith aiso is a gum producer in even larger degree than the leaves. An investigator says that a few inches of sassafras pith put into a glass of cold water wili in a few minutes make a glass full of mucilage. Daring the civil war," ia some parts of the south, sassafras leaves were employed to furnish the thickening for soup ; and it was veiy palatable and healthful thickening, too During that time, also, sassafras tea was largely used as a substitute for coffee and the ordi? nary tea of commeroe. The sassafras infusion, however, is a more health? ful beverage than either tea or coffee. It has positive alterative properties, and as a blood remedy it shouid be ranked along with sarsaparilla. It is also a diuretic and soporific ; it is good for the kidneys, and *o produce perspiration, lt is valuable in cases of coids and fevers. Oil of the sas safras, according to the medical authority, "is used in the treatment of cutaneous diseases, x rheumatism, gout, etc." It is commonly used in connection with other drugs It h&s been stated that in a great many of the "'magic" proprietary liniments which are so popular, at 25 and 50 cents a bottle, are made of soirits of turpentine, costing about 3u cents a gallon, and a little oil of sassafras, and that a great many of the "discov? eries," "cures," and the like, which co6t $1 a bottle, have as their base an infusion of sassafras. We recog? nize the virtues of the sassafras and turpentine after somebody a thousand miles away has mixed them and given them a catchy name ; but we dou't care much about them in their j natural state Flavoring extracts are j also made from sassafras, and there I is no more delightful and refreshing I beverage than sassafras beer on a hot j day The mucilage from the pith of the sassafras is said to be an ex? cellent remedy for sore eyes, or for almost any irritation and sore tis- j sue As a gargle for sore throat, i sassafras tea, with alum, has a re j I cognized standing in every rural j j housewife's cupboard Still, most | j people are unfamiliar with the sassa j iras, for the reason that it is so com ' j mon j Richmond, Va.

London, Jan f< -Trie fir?t account giving any adequate explanation of Gen Bullers defeat at the Tugela river comes by mail from Bennet Burleigh, The Daily Telegraph's cor respondent. It appears that the ! battle orders, drawn up by Gen Clery ! provided for the effective support of j the artillery by Hart's, Barton's and i Dundonald'* brigades. These were ! never completed- Gen Hart missed his way,Lord Dundonald failed to sup port Gen Barton and got part of h's forces in an untenable position. Gol Long, with the artillery, out paced the escort of the guns and were lost Briefly, that seems to be the story of the Tugela river battle But. through graphic columns, there con? tinually recurs the discovery cf un expected entrenchments and awiui fusillades from hidden Boers and gd lantry such as has seldom marSed British battlefields After describing how the British force began their advance at day light and how the Boers left them absolutely unmolested, the corres pondent says : "At 6 20 there sud deniy burst an awfui crash of Boer musketry upon the batteries and advancing infantry The rattle of the Mausers swelled and' was main? tained as one continuous roar. From the buildings and iines of trenches south of the river and from the river bank itself, the Boers fired at our gunners and footmen, and from the trenches on .be northern side of the Tugela river and from Fort Wylie and elsewhere they sent out a burri cane of leaden hail and bullets veno monsly rained upon the ground in all directions, raising puffs aud dust and tearittg through the air with shrill sounds. Few have ever seen so heavy and so deadly a fusilade, but neither the British gunners nor the infantry hesi? tated or winced. Cannon were wheeled into position although many of the horses and men were shot down ere the manoeuvre was com? pleted and our indomitable soldiers walked erect and straight onward Not even Rome in her palmiest days ever possesspd more devoted eons. As the gladiatois marched proud and beaming to meet death, 60 the British soldiers, doomed tc die. sa luted and then with alacrity stepped forward to do their duty, 'glory or the grave ' Anglo Saxon soldiers always advance that way I asked an American who has seen warfare at heme, in Cuba and Manila, if his own countrymen geneially did this, and he answered : 'Yes It is mar veious, but wasteful ' "Closer and closer walked the soldiers to the Beer trenches untii within 400 yards of the nearest rifle pits Then lying down, they return ed the fire, but there was little or nothing to aim at. ' By 7.15 the Irish brigade had driv? en the Boers to the nor h bank of the Tugela. They foucd that the .enemy hnd plaoted the groor-d wirb barbed w:re ectaogiemeots. E?^n in tbe bcd of thc river barbed wire was ?aid down. 1 Into tb* water went the Dublin Innis- ! kiniDss.

Yet most of them found that tbey bad | but passed acres-; a winding spruit i The Tugeia stili lay io froor. aod all j the while the murderous fire of cannon j and Mauser crashed and comrades fell weltering ic their blood.
