Sir William MacCormac sends to the
Lancet a highly interesting account of
the medical aspects of the Tugela battle.
The most striking point in the narration
is the extreme celebrity with which the
wounded men were removed from the field
of battle. Altogether 500 patients passed
through the hospital in the course of the
day, and they were all cleared off the field
within four hours of the end of the en-
gagement, and dispatched to the base with
In two days. This was no doubt due to
the clean-cut and humane wounds inflicted
by the Mauser bullet. The British Medical
Journal states that the wounds presented
clean punch-out appearance. being al
most entirely free from confusion and
iaceration.' This is good news for the
friends of the sufferers, and explains the
rapid recoveries which are being made
Also, 1t is said, that out of 300 wounds only
eight were caused by shell fire, the remain
Ger being due to Mauser bullets. This
great disproportion bears out the we'll
known dictum that the effect of shell fire

Avoid a choppy Walk.
From the New York World,

fUIH tIle -NtW IUfK N0tIu.
In walking endeavor to take a long,
graceful, gliding step rather than the short,
choppy motion which one SO often sees.
Walking on the toes gives mincing,
dancing school master gait. Let the weight
fall on the balls of the feet, turn the toes
out trifie and transfer the weight of the
BODY from one foot to the other as each
step is taken.
Avoid balancing the body by throwing the
hips alternately out and in. This produces
walk that Is neither graceful nor refined.
and no woman should care to initiate 1t.

Washington, Jan. 9.-In senate Allen.
Nebraska, offered q resolution calling on
the secretary Of war for information ss
to the names OF the transports. persons
from who acquired. prices paid and all
other information relating to the trans
port service. IL was adopted.
At the conclusion Of routine business,
Bsveridge, Indiana, was recognized for
speech on the Philippine question. The
text OF his address was resolution which
he offered a few days ago, which declares
'thst the Philippines are territory be-
longing to the United States; that IL 10
the intention OF the United States to re-
tain them as such and establish and
maintain such governmental control
throughout the archipelago as the situs
tion may demand"
1t was brilliant audience which gath
cred TO hear the maiden effort iu the sen
ate Of the young Indisnisn. Throughout
the speech, which was very long, Bever-
idgs commanded the attention Of his col
leagues Of the senate and auditors both
on door OF the chamber and In the gal
leries.
Hoar followed Beveridge and addressed
himself 10 the Indiana senator with great
esrnsstness. II would be base thing,
he said. for this country to strike down q
young republic In the Philippines. He
said he could prove from Otis and Dewey
that there was Filipino government.
Otis. In all communications. said the
people Of the Philippines desired to estab-
lish their Independence.
Hosr said Aguinsldo was brought over
and placed at the head Of $4,000 people
who desired independence and who we're
furnished arms by the United States
government. Hosr said that General
Otis took the most extraordinary liberty
ever taken by military commander and
suppressed McKinley's proclamation and
issued one Of his own In its place. Hoar
dwelt upon the promises which
Otis made on January l, 1899,
when he guaranteed liberty and freedom
TO the people. Hoar said the document
Otis did not wish published. because n
would bring on war, and that which he
desired to amend was published. He
asked II there was any senator who was
80 blind because OF the blare OF empire,
who could appreciate Aguinaldo's reply
to Otis. He said the state papers Of the
Filipinos are able and their constitu.
tion admir- able. He declared II was lit
tie bold to charge with responsibility
making this war, men who tried TO stop
It. He said the guarantee proclamation
OF Otis Of January 1. 1899. would have
stopped the war. but at the same time
the Filipinos got that other proclamation
which proclaimed the sovereignty Of the
United States over the lands. which said
the Filipinos had been bought like q

New York, Jan. 9.-The handsome
dwelling Of Joseph Putlitssr, proprietor
OF the New York World, in East Fifty
ifth street, was DESTROYED BY Ore to-day
and ut least one life was loet.
when the flames had been extinguish-
cd, the bodies OF two women were found
badly burned. One Is believed TO be that
OF Miss Elizabeth Montgomery, COVER
ness, and the other Is identified as that
Of the houseksepsr. Mrs. Jsllstt, and
while crew OF twelve hremen were at
work on the third floor the floor fell,
pitching them to the second floor. Lieu.
tenant Hauck was painfully hurt, but
he remained at work.
At the time the fire began the,e were
10 the house Mrs. Pulitzer, her daughters.
Lulu. IA years old, Constance. l2; Mrs.
Puli'zer's baby son, 2 months old, and
twenty-five servants. Mr.. Pulitzer and
his son. Joseph. Jr.. are at Lakewood, N.
J. Mrs. Pulitzsr was asleep with the
two daughters, Edith and Constance, on
the second aoor. The floor above was oc-
cupied BY the nurse and baby. Mrs.
Pulitzer was awakened by cracking
noise. 6he detected the smell OF smoke
and almost Immediately after the elec-
tric hre alarm sounded. Mrs. Pulitzer
ran TO one OF the doors Of the room, but
found II locked. Another was open and
taking the children she started down
stairs, shouting the alarm. After placing
Edith and Constance In the street, she
hurried up to the third floor and found
the nurse with the baby In her arms
about to get out on the fire escape. The
woman was hysterlcsl. Mrs. Pulitzer
quieted the nurse. took the baby from
her and together they went to the street.
The origin Of the hre is unknown. but
IL 10 thought that II must have started
In the basement or In the lower portion
by defectiye electric wiring. The house
contained'a valuable historical library
and many carfully selected works Of art.
Nothing OF value was saved. The total
loss Is estimated at 100000.
The second body found In the burned
Pulitzer dwelling was identified posi-.
lively "a that Of the governsss, Miss Eliz-
