BURTON DRAWS MILEAGE.
Remarkable Procedure By Which He
Was Seen in the Chamber

Remarkable Procedure By Which He
Was "Seen in the Chamber
Washington. D. Cone Of the most
remarkable procedures iii the history
of the Senate occurred in order to avoid
a technicality which prevented Senator
Burton, of Kansas, from drawing his
mileage for the present session. In or
der to have his requisition hon0red it is
necessary for some official of the Sem
ate to take oath that he has seen the
Senator in the chamber. but since the
indictment and conviction of the Kan
sas Senator he has not appeared there.
There is no disposition on the part of
any one to withhold the mileage, and
the Senator therefore, was asked 10
step from the cloaEroom into the cham
ber for moment in order that he
might be seen by some official He de-
clined. but an employe engaged him in
conversation in the cloakroom, near
the entrance to the chamber. The em-
ploye suddenly turned the Senator so
that lie faced the chamber, and the att
tention of officials previously having
been directed toward this door he was
seen from the chamber 1t was then
certified that Senator Burton was in
attendance and his mileage was paid
to him.

closed only forty three Republican Tin

The fight which the House man
