Uurt?>n Peeped into Henatu to Com ply with Law, Senator Burton, of Kansas, drew his mileage Wednesday, and therebj hangs a remarkable tale. The law requires that in order for a Benator t( draw mileage he must have been seen In the senate chamber by an olllclal o biutu august iriouual. llad the Kansas senator stepped within th< portal, and had the eyes of, say Sena tor Bailey, of Texas, been clappec upon him, there is no doubt that i few warm remarks would have beer submitted by the Texan. To avoic embarrassment of this sort, and pos siMy of some other kind, Mr: Burtor declined iirmly to show himself in tin chamber proper. All accounts of the highly elatinj, incident agree that be was in the It ; publican cloakroom: that he was lur ed to the door by one otlicial of tin senate, who artfully engaging him ir conversation, induced him to face th< arena where he once sat among the mighty of the land, wearing the togi with the purple bordee, and when h< was gaging?oh, ever so wist full] gazing?toward the vice presidents dais, two other ctllclals of the senat< looked him Hpiartly in his downcas eyes, then otf they strodo to the otlice of Financial Clerk Nixon anc swore that tney had seen Senatoi Burton in the senate chamber. Anc bo thev bad. Then Mr. Burton drew this mil eage, amounting to something mor< than $500. Mr. Burton, of course has been drawing his salary all aloni since the senate has declined to tak action on his case until the court have tinally passed upon the oonvlc tions that hang over him. Whethe Mr. Burton stays in Washingtoi much could not be learned Wednes day. Nor could his abode there b ascertained. Naturally the Kansa contingent decline to discuss him o his peculiar official status.

The Question Now Is Who Gave Him the Poison and for What Beason In a special to The S'ate from Hamberg in the Issue of Saturday it was stated that Mr. K. T. Reed of the Cope section of Orangeburg county died at that place the previous Sunday morning and that his death was caus ed from paralysis of the brain, brought on by excessive drinkirur. This statement of the cause of Mr. Hold's death Is denied by his brotherIn law, Mr. G. li. Kittrell of Cope, who in a letter to The State makes the assertion that M. Reed's death was due to poisoning. Tnat this was believed to be the case was known by us last week bu*. no mention of it was made until there could be confirmation which has been furnished by Mr. Klttrel <u the letter to The-State whion will be found below. Tire case seems to be a mysterh us one and will doubtless be In vest 1 gated fully in tbe ( Ulcers of the law. The <r quest, it win be noted from Mr Kitorell's letter, has not yet been concluded and the facts may be brought out at that time. Mr. Ktttrell's letter leaves no doubt but that Mr. Reed was poised by some one. Now the question Is who did It and for what purpose was it done? He was a very quiet, pleasant man, not at all quarrelsome, and it is bard to understand why any one should want to kill him, and we hope the matter will be pushed until the guilty parties apprt bended and punished. Mr. Reeri was well known in Orangeburg, and his mysterious death is lamented by many friends. At the time of his death Mr. Reed was not quite forty tears of age. The following is Mr. Kittreli's lo'.ter to The St: te: To the Editor of The State: I notice in your paper cf Sunday under the heading, "Bamberg News," the statement that Mr. JB. T. Reed of the Cope section of Orangeburg coun ty died in Bamberg last Sunday morning, that lie had been drinking heavily, and his death was caused from paralysis of the brain. This is an error and ir justice to a dead man. Mr. Reed was poisoned by some one with arsenic between 11 a. m. Saturday and 2 50 p. in., as be stated that he had been poisoned to Mr. G. A Jennings, ail honorable and high-toned gentleman, and becture of the conditions under which be died at 6 a. m. Sunday morning, the family decided to have a post'mortem, and I)rs. Jennings, Cleckley and llcover cf Bamberg were called in to perform ' same. 1 took the stomach and con- 1 tents to a chemist In Augusta. Ga., and he found tiiat he was poisoned ' with arsenic.

The Charleston Post says Carl Johnson, a sailor now on board the battleship Texas is being held a prisoner until proper papars can be rec lived from Minneapolis, where Johnson is wanted on a charge of complicity in k lllnpr Oito Baber, a saloon man of that, city, on the evening of Decern ber 22. DetectiveC. I). Brown of Minneapolis, suspected that Johnson had mostlikely enlisted in the navy, and at Norfolk traced his man to Charleston, where he discovered Johnson on the Texas. Robbery was the motive of the crime in which Johnson is charged with having a p^rt. Three men ap- \ poared in the saloon of Baber with drawn revolvers, and executed a gen- 1 eral hold-up. A good sum of money was taken from the cash till of the saloon. Baber, who was behind the bar, made a motion that convinced the robbers of his intention to resist or make an alarm, and he was shot fatally. Johnson was traced to Charleston and found by Detective Brown on the Texas. He will return to Minneapolis without requisition papers. Brown expects a warrant for the man to ar rive in Charleston on Thursday, and then he will take his man back to Inn AO nAllo f A? f viol iijLAuiiva^uiio IUI unaii The sailor denies complicity in the crime, but is willing to stand trial.

One of the oity detectives was sent along with Brown to Introduce htm to the officers of the Texas, that his duty might he performed with more facility. Brown came to Charleston on Sunday. Murdered. John Floyd, a lineman for the Bell Telephone company was shot to death while at work on the top of a telephone post in Savannah, Ga., on Friday, the murderer using a shotgun.

Clark, In his report on labor coudltous in the Philippines, states that indolence In the interior is usually duo to the fact that the laborer cannot make use of the mouey he earns. IIo tells of a novel dovice adopted by an American olllcer to remedy the difficulty. "This otflcer," he says, "needed labor in order to carry out certain necessary public Improvements. He ongaged 60 natives for this undertaking at a stipulated wage of 30 cents silver currency (12Vi cents American currency) a day. The first day all the men deserted, because a rumor got around that the Americans, like the Spaniards, would not pay them for public woi k of this character. The men were persuaded to return to work and were paid their full wages regularly, as promised. As soon as money began to circulate among them the agents of the nearest dattos and sultan came into town in order to get the money away from the workmen on various pretenses. As this discouraged the industry of the laborers, all such agents were expelled from the districts and not allowed to return. This measure resulted In something of a local boom, and two entire villages and many isolated families of Moros at once pulled up stakos and moved into the post in order to be freo from the oillcial exactions of their chiefs. When they had ft little money ahead, however, the men begun to ston work as tlipv had nrith Ing to upend It on but rice. The commandant, considering the vice of idleness as reprehensible as any other, and casting about to create a constant demand for money among his workers, took his cue from what ho saw going on about him, and licensed two gambling houses at $100 silver currency ($12 American currency) a month each. After that he had an ample supply of excellent laborers, who worHed regularly without persuasion, and required little supervision, except for directing their work. When their engagement was finished they came around to the commandant, asking that some other paying employment be found for them. The officer who related this experience remarked in all candor: "It only requires a little diplomacy to make these people industrious.' " Tagging Marine Animals. Ingenious government scientists have devised a novel and curious means for keeping track of the movements of marine animals?such, for example, as the edible crab, whose perambulations in its native waters have been found worth studying. The United States fisheries bureau wants to learn whether any migration occurs, of males or females, and, if so, at what season of the year. Information on this point might be useful in the experiments now contemplated for breeding these crustaceans, which are threatening to become scarce, artificially. It is proposed to catch a few dozens of both sexes, and fasten securely to sach specimen n small copper tag bearing a number, thereupon restoring the Einimals to their freedom. Each tag would also bear a request for its prompt return to the fisheries bureau it Washington by anybody chancing to capture the wearer. This method has boon practiced with considerable auccess in the case of lobsters, 479 of which were liberated recently in Buzzard's Bay and adjacent vaters. Notwithstanding the fact that ;he Greek and Portuguese fishermen vho own most of the lobster pots In hat vicinity were disposed to retain the ags in their possession for use aa charms, 7G were returned. When the lata thus supplied were reckoned out, nuch useful knowledge about the novements of the animals was secured, ind incidentally it was discovered that hese crustaceans arc much more rapid ravelers than had been supposed. Some >f those released were found to have ourneyed ten miles or more within 48 loura. It used to be supposed that chad made an annual migration up the \tlantlc coa3t, entering the rivers sue ;onnivcijr ?b uiuy pruceeueu IluriUWUlUj Dut now it is known that they spend most of the year, like the salmon, in the deep sea off the mouths of the rivals in which they were hatched, feedng on the bottom and never going very far away,- When they are old enough they enter the rivers to spawn. Perhaps some more facts of interest and value might be ascertained about the Bhad by utilizing the tagging plan with them. Evea In the Darkness. A French writer In a scientific magazine tells of the great ocean depths of 28,000 to 30,000 feet, the temperature tending toward zero, with perpetual darkness reigning below depths of about 1,280 feet. At that level plants deprived of light cannot exist, and the animal life must be carnivorous. The organ of sight, not being used, has disappeared, and yet there ia light even In that sightless world. A German exploring ship found a fish with enormous eyes at a depth of 6,400 feet Phosphorescence ie common In these hollows of the sea; sometimes special organs flash light A Moulting Lobster.
