For chokasha First The After
Special Agents Removed.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-It was
learned at the interior department
today that the secretary had order
ed Special Agents HawIey and
Reynolds relieved from duty in
connection with the allotment
work in the southwest. Such ac-
ton was predicted in these dis
patches on last Monday. The ac-
ton i understood to have been a
direct result Of the complaints
which have come TO Washington
frequently Of late IN reference to
the manner Of conducting the
work on the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache Indian reservation.
One Of the men is alleged to
have held religious camp meetings
on the reservation. II is also re-
ported here that one of the agents
declared without resvation that be
"thought the government had no
right 10 allot the lands to the In
dians. " This agent stated that
he had conscientious scruples
against carrying out the law
1t is also reported here that one
Of the agents created much dissat-
isfaction in his camp by making
every man give him a title in adj
dressing him and also requiring
that the members of the survey
ing corps passing near him shall
salute him.
Mr.. G. F. Nesler, one of the
department inspectors, has been
placed in supreme control of the
men, and 1t is understood that the
department will not assign two
more specialagents to the allotting
work. Nesler has been found en-
tirely reliable in such important
government work and to him will
be instructed the work Of selecting
capable assistants in each Of the
three camps already organized.
1t is thought that the work will
proceed even better than when
the specia. agents We're in charge.

ELECTRICITY IN STEEL WORKS.
Replacing Steam Power I'm the Large
Carnegie Plants.

| AepiacinE steam Power In the Large
Carnegie Plants.
The Carnegie Steel Company has
decided to make a complete change in
the motive-power system that ope-
rates its thirty-inch mill of the Home
stead Steel works. Electricity is to
take the place of steam in the opera
tions of the shifting tables at the rolls.
This will take considerable time, as
it means the replacing this portion of
the plant with entirely new ma
chinery. The only machinery in the
plant which will be operated by steam
will be the big roll engine, and if it
is practicable this engine will be op-
Grated by electricity later. An engine
similar in construction to that intended
for the forty inch mill will replace
the one now in use. The cost of the
engine will be 500, 900. The total
expenditure for improvements to this
mill is estimated at about $1,000
The introduction of electricity as
the motive power for the shifting
tables is an innovation at this plant.
1t is on these tables that all the big
pieces OF steel, such as angles, Hat
beams, etc., are carried to and from
the rolls and shifted into the position
required in rolling them into the
proper shapes. 1t will require con-
siderable voltage to operate the heavy
machinery, and special electric plant
will be erected in connection with the
mill. The cost of this plant will be
in addition to the 5000, 900 mentioned |
as the sum necessary for the improve
ment of the mill. William Bailey, |
chief engineer of the works, said that
the changing of the motive power
and introduction of new machinery |
for that purpose would require con-
siderable time, and it would be four
months at least before this plant |
would be ready to start under the
new order of things.-New York

A Luminous Sea Crab.

One of the marine curiosities re.
Gently fished from the bottom of the
Indian Ocean by dredging vessel in
the employ of the Calcutta Society Of
Natural History was a mammoth sea
crab which continually emitted {
bright white light, similar to that
seen in the spasmodic flashes of phos.
phorescent luminosity kindled by oui
common glow worms. The oddity
was captured in the daytime and
placed in a large tank, nothing pecu.
liar except its immense size being
noticeable in the broad glare of the
tropical sun. At night, however,
when all was pitchy darkness, the
crab surprised the naturalists by
lighting up the tank so that all the
other sea creatures, great and small,
could be plainly seen.
