Dewey Praises BrumbY.

The Atlanta Journal correspondent
w.:ites as follows from Washington:
I was with the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey for half an hour this afternoon,
talking Of poor Brumby, and the part
that he played in the great battle at
Manila.
Il want to say to the people Of
Atlanta today" and the admiral,
when they must be peculiarly sad in
burying their noble son, that in the
death Of Lieutenant Brumby the
country has lost brave and gallant
defender, and | have lost dear and
loyal friend. We were closer than
brothers, and I have loved him as
dearly as if he bad been the nearest
relative. His death has brokeo me up.
have cancelled every social engage
ment for the winter, and | am deeply
grieved, for he Was so near and dear to
me"
At this the admiral nervously
walked across the floor to suppress his
emotion.
He vas a gallant defender and the
admiral loved him So, interposed Mrs.
Dewey.
why, Mildred, DEAR" said the
admiral, ''didn't | see him When he
hoisted the American A.g at Manila,
at the very face Of an apparent certain
death? He raised the Stars and
Stripes under shower CT she'll from
the enemy. Few people realize what

PETTlGREW Is MAD.
He Declares That This Country
Recognized the Filipinos.
He DEMANDS WAR FACTS.
He wants to Know if there is a
Studied Effort to Suppress the
Philippine war Record.

In the United States senate Wednes-
day Mr.. Hawley, of Connecticut, chair
man Of the military affairs committee,
drew a sharp speech from Mr.. Petit
grew by motion to reconsider reso-
luton previously introduced by Mr..
Pettisrew and passed directing the Sec
retary of war to forward to the senate
the full report Of the commission ap-
pointed by the president to Investigate
the conduct Of the Spanish war.
Mr.. PsttigreW declared that this was
most unusual proceeding, and de-
manded to know whether it is a part
Of a studied policy TO suppress infor.
nation"
is it" he demanded, ''along the
lines Of suppression of news from Ma
nila, not because it is proper news, but
because Of its possible effect on the
people Of the country? A day or two
ago | asked the aooption Of a resolu-
ton of inquiry that | deemed perfectly
proper 1t was laid on the table. Was
the action taken because the resolution
indicated that officers of this govero-
ment had recognized the Philippine
republic? d. you think if such re-
coguition had not been made that reso-
luton would have been laid on the
able? The fact is, we did recognize
the Philippine republic, and it was
through the assistance Of the Philip
pine vessels that Spanish garrison
was forced to surrender.
It no ~ seems that there are many
things to be brought to the attention Of
the people. My belief is that ne ought
TO have another committee to investl-
gate the entire conduct of tho Spanish
war We might lnVestisate the pur-
chase of army transports, for which
we paid two OF three times what they
we're offered for to others. Is this poll
cy of the supp- ssion of news and facts
TO be followed for the purpose of re.
electing the present admiuistration2'
In reply MIR. Hawley disclarmed any
intention of an endeavor to suppress
any facts. he had made the motion
>impiy that The matter might be con-
sldered by coumutee with view to
sscertsiDing the availability Of the mat
ter asked for.
MIR. Cuckrell, of Missouri, believed
that the report of the investigating
com uirtee should be communicated to
,he senate aud az his sugg :stloo the
resolution was reconsiderea requesting
the president, if not inc"m gable with
public Interests, to communicate the
testimony and report Of the committee
TO tie house.
Mr. Allison, of Iowa. thought, too,
that the senate ought to have the testi-
mony and report.
The resolution as amended by Mr..
Cockreli was passed without dissent.
The seuate then at l:l5 p. m, went
into executive session.

An immense sensation was caused in

At Alliance postoRice, Floyd County,
Kentucky, Nelson Hamilton was pour

his four-year-old son picked up small
amount and tossed it into the fire.
The explosion threw some embers into

son and TWO older children who were in
the room were knocked insensiole.
The ceiling was lifted from It's place,
the walls spread and the upper part OF
the house came down and stopped about
half way on the walls, thus fastening
ali the doors securely When the old
est daughter reg4ined consciousness
sufficiently to realize that the house
was in flames, she tried to oden door,
but at ouoe saw the hopclessness cf
such an attempt, and began to scream

NEW YORK DEATH TRAPS.
Seven Persons Burned to Death and
Six Totally Burned.

Seven live; were lost in the two biz
tcuemeut houses which were destroyed
bv fire in New York city early Tuesday.
Five charred bodies were fuuad 90 the
up, er floors Of burned tenement at
Que Hundred and S., cond street and
Third avenue, known as the Mentor,
and tive women aud title girl, all
badly burned, Were carried from the
hiazirg house TO nearny hospitals.
There is thou 1T to be but slight chance
Of any of the six surviving. Several
other persons only esc,ped from the
flames and dense smoke with cuts and
bruises. \ few hours earlier deadly
fire attacked the tive-story tenement on
Tenth avenue, burning to death Mrs
Martin Fox and her child, George, IL
years old. The charred remains OF
both we1s found after the fire.
The first ile is supposed to have
starred in the cellar The air Shaft In
the building and stairs aided the fire
in gaiuiug such rapid hrad~ay that
there was no succ, ssful 6ghring OF the
flames, which had gained tremendous
head vay when ,hv fremeu arrived.
The building was "ccu upicd by liqO"r
store on the frs f ,or, aud on the up
per floors by families. When the fire
was discovered the flames were coming
out of the hallway aud must have been
burning at least 20 minutes. There
were DO fire escapes on the front Of the
building, but many Of the inmates es-
capped by the rear
The loss on the building was $40 900.
The other fire, in Tenth aveaue, near
Thirty eighth street, started IN the
basement or first floor hallway, and
when it was discovered had such a
headway that it was impossible to en-.
ter. The families in the upper part Of
the house fed to the roof, whence they
easily rcacncd the street. The Foxes
lived on the second f)or, and the
woman and her child had succeeded in
getting up one flight of steps before
they we're overcome There were DO
others injured The damage to the
building by the fire was comparatively
small.
