A Regular Army OF 100, 900.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 17.-Thc
President and Secretary Alger lmvc
agreed to make the same rcc0mmcnda-
tion i'll regard to the increase of the
regular army. Secretary Algcr in his
annual report and the President in turn
III his annual message to Congress will
recommend that the standing army be
placed on q permanent peace basis of
100000. 1t has been believed by many
who were doubtful in regard to the
Presidents views on national cXpan-
sion that he would not recommend the
raising of the regular army to more
than 10000 or $4,000. His decision to
advocate an army of 100000 is uthcre-
fore taken rs an indication that the
President thoroughly appreciates the
necessity of properly garrisoning the
new possessions and dependencies with
United States troops.
Leading members of the atlministra-
tion have said openly within short
time that in their opinion it would be
found necessary to maintain onr garri-
sons i'll the island of Cuba for at least
q wear.

The Value or Sassafras.

BEAuFoRr. Nov. 2t.-Thc inquiry of
Il correspondent lin your paper Il few
days ago as to the value and uses to
which the sassntras bush or plant which
is 80 common in all old fields and
hedges has attracted this writer's
notice.
The whole plant is valuable for its
medicinal properties. The root makes
an excellent tea, spicy and fragrant,
and has alternative virtues quite us good
as the sarsaparilla The stalks have
an inner pith that, although tedious to
extract much Of it, when scrapcd ont
and put into cold water and aeitatcd
for Il few moments with spoon forms
Il most thick and tenacious mucilage,
retaining delicate flavor OF the sInei,
Of the sassasras, and is bland and
soothing drink in fcvers, when the
moAth is dry and great thirst exists.
1t il frequently retained gratefully
when plain water is elected.
1t is astonishing how mucilaginous a
small quantity Of this pith makes
tumblcr of water, Which becomes thick
us gum arabic water. a mere tea
spoonful OF the pith taken out of the
small green branches Of The bush vii!
make three or four tumblcrs fill of
thick mucilagc.
For intlamc1 eyes this mucilaginous
wafer is very soothing and curative,
and has long been used in domestic
practice for all forms Of inflammation
OF delicate tissues, bnt is so simple
that it is ignored by the profession.
The oil of sissafras, which is made
from the roots AZ we'll as other parts Of
the plant, makes Il splendid ]nimcnt
for pains and aches, in combination
with tuipentine in proportion of one
third Of the former to two-thirds of
tbc latter. Other stimulating tincturcs
such as spirits OF ammonia, arc some
times added, but the chief ingredient
Of tho lightning linimcnts hawIIcd
about by itincrlnt quacks arc composed
principally OF sassafras oil, which is
really pungeEG and effective. .-Ne,cs

Washington, March 9f--There is no
doubt that the authorities here are
keeping themselves fully advised as to
the movement of the Spanish torpedo
fotilla, now en- route from Spain. Up
to last night the official advices we're
to the effect that the hotilla had not
left the Canaries. where "a stop was
made TO await the arrival OF Spanish
cruiser. Persons acquainted with the
facts say that the stop at the Canaries
is only temporary, and that there is
no purpose on the part OF the Spanish
government to turn back the torpedo
boats because of the removal OF the
Texas and Massachusetts, from Key
West. On the contrary, the purpose,
as made known in Washington. is that
the torpedo hotilla will ontinue its
trip to Cuba and Porto Rico. It was
stated by one high in naval authority
that no steps had been taken toward
intercepting this hotilla or warming it
away. There has been considera ole
conjecture in this line by naval Off
GERS but on the idea that If emergency
was in fact near at hand, it would be
inexpedient to allow large torpedo
dotilla to rendezvous on this side.
The fact that Rear Admiral Sicard |
has remaining with him at Key West /
a formidable squadron is due to the /
desire OF the authorities to have a
strong fleet there when the report Of |
the court OF inquiry is read, and the
result Of the policy to be inaugnrated
by the president has made itself APP
parent
1t has been determined by the Off
cials 10 continue the sharp watch
which has been kept on the torpedo
BOAT fiotilla, and should they attempt
20 move to Porto Rico, to make Wig
'rous protest to Spain, looking to-
ward orders for their immediate re-
urn to the CanAries, and if Spain
hould refuse to comply with those
authorizations, the plan prepared by
he officials contemplates not only the
ormation of a flying squadron, but
he dispatch of cruisers to intercept
he torpedo hotilla and destroy it.
