Burglar Entered Room.

Shortly after midnight this morning Charles Sealey, living on West Jefferson, second south of Augusta Street, was awakened by an outcry from his child, who said man was in the room. A hurried examination revealed an axe in the room and that the door had been forced open. At window. on the out side was found a block which had evi- dently been placed there for the purpose of effecting an entrance into the room from there. but the man evidently changed his mind. Mir Sealy went to a fire company house nearby and reported from there to police headquarters. Lieu tenant Dondeau at once sent two detec- tives. Conniff and MoGrath, to the house. at the same time giving instructions to Sergeant Gilroy to notify the patrolmen in the southern district.
 The detectives went in the driving rain to Sealeys house and made an examina- ton. Things were found as described and they then went about searching for the urowler. but to no avail. About 3:30 o'clock their attention was attracted by shots and going to Broad and Charleston Streets. they learned that two patrolmen had discovered a negro, who was acting suspciously and emitting peculiar whis- tie at intervals. They hailed him and he jumped a fence Fire was opened on him. but he got away. The block was encircled and another policeman got a shot at the man, but without effect and the negro escaped.
 This is the first occurrence of tho kind in that portion of the city in over two months and the people. who had become quieted after several similar escapades. are again stirred up. Efforts will be made to apprehend the man.

One Dollar for a Senate Seat.

Baltimore Sun.
 There is marked difference in quo tattons of Senate seats in Alabama ant in some other States. such. for example as Montana and Delaware The Hon Edmund W. Pettus has reported thai the entire cost of his recent election tc the Senate in Alabama was the sum O. A. Such a sum for such an office is doubtless regarded with scornful wonder by the Blue Hens chickens, and others And the method of expendng this cam paign fund by the venerable Senator from Alabama was as remarkable as the amount itself. It was not expended fol high balls or even beer. but went to tn, Secretary of State in Alabama to nay tn, legal feet for a certificate. This was ; case where the office sought the man.

An Absurd Survival '.

New York Evening Post.
 There is point in Senator Burtons sar- casm about the need of having 'com- mittee on publication in connection With the secret sessions of the Senate. The profound secrets of the Senate's execu- tive sessions. leak out as promptly and regularly as those of a gossiping village teatable They are constantly telegraph ed and with as much accuracy as the ordinary proceedings of open sessions. Senators are. Of course, on their honor not to "divulge," but they really blab everything like so many school girls. Moreover, there Is a continual contro- versy over what is executive business of

the Senate and what is not: The habit Is growing upon the more Irresponsible members of blurting out their views on all subjects, supposedly covered with veil of secrecy. or not. When they them selves thus treat the secrecy of the Sen ate as an absurd survival, why should the public preserve any respect for it? The truth is that 1t is necessarily out grown with the growth of the Senate. The form may he maintained, but the substance is gone. You might as well expect a meeting to be really secret as the Senate

MODiit, nSb. %''
 The heavy rainfall of yesterday contin- ued through the entire night and this morning, until about o'clock, after which hour there was a lull, but through the day, by fits and starts, the water continued falling with indications of its continuation all night. While no serious damage has as yet been reported. it is ex- pected late reports will announce roads badly washed and possibly bridges wrenched or down.
 Between Mobile and Whistler, on the nsw Conception Street road. which skits the swamp on the west side of the river from One-Mile CreeN to the foothills northward, one solid sheet of water was to be seen this morning and at two points the water was over the road for ieo ana l50 feet respectively. The rainfall TOT twenty-four hours ending at a. m. toaav was PIP inches The maximum wind Ne- locity was 26' miles The indication for tomorrow is colder weather. with 2 ces- sation of rain early tomorrow.
 The fact that the upper rivers were al- ready swollen to mammoth proportions. caused the creeks in the upper part or Mobile County to rise more rapidly than o,dirarily. and. as a result, lands Tn the north and northwest parts of the county are under water. There is no aprehen- sion. however. of danger to stock. There was uneasiness last night in the wholesale district lest the river snculd 20 on a rampage. but the wind. wnicn for many hours had neen blowing stead fly from the southeast, lulled. then shift ed and fears passed away. About mid night however. the wind again shifted to the south and fears were again entertain ed. The river remained within its banks and there is now no possible danger Of an overflow.
