For the first time in over twelve years Maine has new represen a tive at a regular session of congress Ex-Governor Edwin C. Burleigh of Augusta occupies the seat made va cant by the death of Seth l.. Milliken. about three weeks of the extra ses- sion. He is tall and strong of build, with a we'll balanced head, and is a man of sturdy common sense. MT. Burleigh bears his new honors mod estly, and is by no means a pyrotech- nical style of statesman. He is, how ever, of the kind of timber charac- teristic of the men who have made the state famous in national legisla- tion, and will be an indus, ,rious work CT. Probably no man ever cane to congress with more thorough knowledge of his district or more in direct touch with his constituents in this respect being much like his predecessor. MT.

Hon. Wilbourne Pearce of Belton, TeNas,a young lawyer of distinguish ed ability, who was seen at the Vel lington last evening, was a demo cratic presidential elector when bare ly 21 years old. MT Pearce has some very positive views as to the need of changing the existing system in democratic national conventions.
 ''I hold," said he, that it Is abso- lutely unfair and inequftable to give to Pennsylvania a greater voting strength in tlhe national gatherings of the party than is accorded to Texas. The one is as solidly republican as the other is rockribbed in its dem ,ocracy, and yet the Keystone state outweighs Texas in the paramount, matter of determining the party's can didacy for the highest office in the government. This ought not to be each state a representation in the national convention based nm the total democratic vote cast for presf- dential electors at the preceding cleo tion, or to allow as many delegates as there are democratic members ol congress. The present plan allows delegates numerically equal tu the total membership of a state in both houses of congress and in that way a state which will never cast demo- cratic vote in the electoral college is given this undue advantage. Here i; a matter that calls for reform at the earliest possible opportunity, and ev- cry fair minded man must recognize it. The states that throw their cleo toral strength for democracy should not be given a subordinate place, a: they now are.
 ''The argument is valid when ap- piled the other way. If I were Q northern republican I should certain ly fight the idea of giving to Texa: its present voting strength in repub fcan national conventions"

Arkansaw's Pearl Hunters.

New Orleans, September "a special
to the Associated Press from Helena,
Ark, says: "The pearl hunting industry
which has been exciting the whole
country, is spreading all over this end Of
the state. The St. Francis river from the
mouth of the river to Jeffersonviile, is
lined with white people and negroes all
engaged in unearthing and prying open
the richly laden mussel shells.
One young man brought small bottle
of pearls to Helena today, taken from
Philips bayou, tributary of the ST.
Francis. They are darker in color than
the ordinary pearl of commerce, but are
handsomer shaped and of good size. All
of the chain of lakes in the hitherto i'm
penetrable St. Francis river bottoms are
full of these,pearl bearing mussels, and
if they prove to be valuable, the whole
country presently will be engaged in the
business to the detriment of crop gather
ing. One planter said yesterday that he
expected to have difficulty in securing
hands to pick his cotton on account Of
pearl hunting.

SAW OLIVE PICKER BURNING.
Evidence Showing Murder Must Have
Been Committee Earlier Than Sup
posed.

Boston, September 3.-The first intelli-
gence of the schooner Olive Pecker, since
she was reported as abandoned by her
crew, after Captain Whitman and Mate
Saunders had been murdered. was corr
tanned in private letter received In this
city today from New Orleans.
The report says that the captain, George
Braithwaite of the British steamer Rose,
one Of the Liverpool, Brazil and River
Platte line, which arrived at New Orleans
a few days ago from SAINTS and Rio
Janeiro, reported that on August sixth,
in latitude eighteen south, and about
longitude thirty five west, sighted burn
ing vessel and for three hours the Rosse
steamed around her in vain search for
the crew. The vessel was three nlasted
schooner, lumber laden, and there is no
doubt that it was the Olive Pecker. There
were no boats in sight, and no signs Of
life anywhere around the burning vessel
This places the date of the murder of
Captain Whitman and Mate Saunders
much earlier than was supposed, from the
fact that the news of the tragedy not
reaching here for ten days later. The
the Rosse leads to the belief that the
murderers and the remainder OF the crew
had not been very many hours away from
the vessel when the Rosse put in an ap-
pearance. The position as given by Capt.
Braithwaite is about half way between
Rio Janeiro and Bahia, where the men
made landing. When the Rosse left the
vessel the flames were licking her mast
heads, and she was fast being consumed.
The entire hull was mass of flames, and
the cabin. which probably the remains of
captain Whitman and Mate saunders
were lying had been entirely consumed.

Bath, September Bath people are
having another sensation to discuss now
that the much talked of society scandal
case has come to close in the courts.
This time it is on an entirely different
tack, and city officials are getting warmed
up while street talk is becoming breezy.
1t is known fact that for some months
William B. Palmer the city treasurer has
been distasteful;to certain political leaders
and at the election of subordinate Offices
for the past two years attempts have been
made to get him turned down and a new
man installed in his place.
So far these efforts have been unsuccess-
full, although the effort of collector OF
taxes was wrested from Mr.. Palmer
year or two ago, he having at one time
held both offices.
Finding that he could not be downed in
this way an attempt was made to force
him to surrender the back taxes to Charles
III. Greenleaf, the new collector, and Mr..
Palmer declined to do SO. This provoked
considerable feeling, and a warm fight
resulted, finally reaching the courts, in
which on account of technicalitJ in
presenting the case, the city was defeated.
Recently it was announced that 1t had
been q number Of years since the city had
q settlement with Treasurer Palmer, and
that one was to be demanded. Mayor
Bibber stated yesterday that he should
ask the finance committee to take steps
in that direction this evening, and after
the meeting the PRESS correspondent
was told that Mayor Bibber upon the
authority and advice Of the committee
had sent letter tonight to Bion Wilson
of Portland, national bank examiner,
asking that he come to Bath to examine
the treasurer's S books.
Mayor Bibber states that he does not
look for shortage of accounts, but
simply wants settlement.
Treasurer Palmer states that his ac-
counts have been audited annually by the
city auditor, and that he feels that it is
being done simply as another act in the
same old game.
However, there is a good deal Of talk
being made concerning the affair and
public opinion seems to be divided upon
the matter.
