tor Deboe and Judge W. II. Holt The
last ballot resulted: Deboe 80; Holt29
The chairman of the caucus claims
that Deboe had a decided majority of
all the votes cast and is therefore the
candidate He also claims that the
caucus adjourned so suddenly until
tomorrow night, that he did not have
an opportunity to make a formal an
nouncement, but that he Will 50 an
nounce the nomination of DeDoe to-
morrow. Those disputing the claim
of Chairman Jones, and the friends Of
Deboe, refer to the rule of the joint
caucus, requiring thirty-five votes to
nominate and that the lowest be drop
ped after each ballot. There were 90
of the IS Republican members of the
legislature present.and Chairman Jones
claims that the 80 votes cast for Deboe

SUTRO Is CHARGED WITH 1t
Somebody Says e. p. Huntington Wouldn't
Steal Red Hot Stove.

New York. March 4-The World to-
morrow will say: c. p. Huntington
learned last night of the seizure by the
postoffice department of a large num-
Der of letters mailed at San Francisco
to United States representatives and
senator's at Washington upon the en-
velopes of which were printed the
words &C. P. Huntington would not
steal a red hot stove" It was stated in
telegram that the letters had been
mailed by Mayor Sutro of San Francis
CO. Mr. Huntington said:
Il was informed some time ago that
Mayor Sutro was attacking me through
the mails. 1 took no action at the time
because L considered it the duty of the
officials to act in the matter. Circulars
sent to congressman denounced the
Union Pacific railroad funding bill now
before congress and in which Mayor
Sutro insists that / am interested. One
statement made was that l was going
to Washington with s5,0O0,00O in gold to
buy up the congressman. OF course the
statement was ali nonsense.
Il will tell you why Mayor Sutro is
fighting he.
He tried TO have me extend the Mar
ket street cable road in San Francisco
some three of four miles in order to in
crease the valuation of some of his ap-
pie stands and other property on the
outskirts Of the city. l refused. Then
he declared that he would fight me to
the bitter end. He is doing his best. l
shall take no part in any prosecution
for viola ton of the United States law in

WORLDS COTTON SUPPLY.
some Interesting Facts Concerning the
Production of the Great Staple.

some Interesting Facts Concerning ths
Production of the Great Staple.
It may be profitable to mass together
here some facts about cotton which
will give to manufacturers and 70 gem
eral readers information concerning
one of the greatest of the worlds in
duStries-an industry, in fact. which
is in touch in one way OF another with
practically every human being who
wears clothes
The American cotton crop of 1s94-95
was the largest ever produced. being
e.s36, SEQ bales, as against 1892. $50 bales
of the preceding season. The con-
sumption of cotton Gncluding that
produced by other countries) was as
follows in the year ending September
80 last: Continental Europe, 5.096.Oo0
bales; Great Britain. 4.0s0,000 bales;
United States. 3.14S.0O0 bales Compar-
ing the uss OF cotton in 1s90-9I with
that of 1S5o-S1 we find that the con-
sumption in the United States In
creased 675 per cent, while that of
Europe increased but SEQ per cent. We
shall soon be the greatest cotton-spin-
ming, as We are already the greatest
cotton-growing, country IN the world.
In 1ssS-94 the United States exported
IS per cent. q the total European sup
ply. But We are also importers OF
cotton. Last year we took 50,41S bales
from Egypt, $4,000 bales from Peru
and 80 bales from China. The Egyp-
tan cotton. being long staple, is used
for spinning soft yarns for hosiery.
1t is no better than our own Sea island,
but it is used 20 mix with wool which
in some degree IL resembles. This is
the first importation of Chinese cotton
made since the war. The staple is
coarse, harsh and weak II goes into
rough woolens and carpets.
India cotton Is inferior even TO poor
American cotton. The largest crop
ever raised in that country was in 1890
81 and it amounted TO 3,225 600 bales,
of which 1857, 600 bales were exported.
India sent to Europe last season only
462, 900 bales. There has been a won
derful development of cotton manufac-
ture in India under the stimulating in
silver decentralization. In 1S63-6f1nd
mills used but % per cent. of the do
mestic crop; in 1s94-95 they used a
per cent. The Indian consumption In
creased from $4,000 bales IN 1s5s-6o To
1888, 900 bales in 1s73-T4.
Mexico grows cotton. Her product
is usually about $4,000 bales. all OF
which il spun at home, IN addition 70
some 10000 bales, more or less, In,
ported from the United States. Oflate
years the Russian government has at
tempted. with much success. 20 en-
courage the cultivation of cotton In
Asiatic Russia, where the annual crop
is now about 200, 900 bales. Cotton is
grown also in Japan. Turkey. Persia
and Greece. The product of the world
