Washington, March 16.-Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald of Massachu-
setts introduced the following reso-
luton in the House to-day:
Whereas, 1t appears as matter
of public record that the Standard
Oil Company paid in the city of
New York on March Is, 1900, the
sum of seventeen million dollars,
this amount being an extra divi-
dend, in addition to the regular
quarterly dividend Of three million
dollars; and,
Whereas, 1t is a matter of public
record that this last dividend Is five
million dollars in excess Of the last
quarterly dividend paid by this
corporation; and,
Whereas, 1t is also a matter Of
public record that the price of kero-
sene oil, the sole means of lighting
used by the middle and poorer
classes of people, during the period
Of time between the declaration Of
these dividends was increased three
cents per gallon, constituting tax
on every home in the land; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That in the opinion of
Congress this action Of the Standard
Oil Company is in direct violation
Of the provisions Of the Sherman
Antitrust Law, and therefore
punishable by fine and imprison-
ment, and the Attorney General is
hereby directed in accordance with
the provisions of that act to direct
the several District-Attorneys of
the United States in their respec-
tive districts to institute proper
proceedings to bring the above
named violators of law to justice.

North Carolina is starting in we'll
for cotton mills in 1900. Twelve
have already been chartered.
A movement is on foot for the
establishment Of a cotton mill in
Yoakum, Tex. Roos Bros. agree
to subscribe $4,000 to start the
ball rolling. Much interest is man
ifested in the matter.
Contract for the erection of a
$35, 900 cotton mill building has
been awarded by Kosciusko Cotton
Mills, Of Kosciusko, Miss. A. c.
Anderson is president of this COM
pany, which was organized last fall.
The product Of the mill when built
will probably be standard sheetings.
j. w. Allen, Of Edna, Tex, is
desirous of obtaining information
relating to the erection of yarn
mill which he proposes to build at
Edna.
Uriah Millsaps, president Of the
Ouachita Cotton Mill, of Monroe,
La, reports that he has secured
SIS, 900 worth of subscriptions for
his proposed mill. He is desirous
of receiving estimates and other in
formation on machinery and equip
ments.
The board of directors of the
Monroe Cotton Mills, Monroe, La,
held a meeting last week for the
purpose of discussing and looking
over the plans submitted by the
engineer. A mill with a capacity
ce 5000 spindles will be erected at
first, but so arranged that it can be
increased to $1,000 when the neces-
sity arises. The board authorized
the president to ask for bids for
l ,250,O 900 brick to be used in the
of the buildings,

EFFECTS OF COTTON MILLS.

Interesting suggestions regard
ing cotton-mill building are made
in the Charlotte Observer by Mr..
J. H. M. Beatty, director of the tex
tile department Of Clemson College.
He says:
ESTIMATING the worlds popula-
ton at 1,5OO, 100000, about 5OO,-
OOO,O regularly wear clothes !;
about 75O,OOO,OOO are partially
clothed, and 100000, 900 habitually
60 naked. The worlds visible
cotton crop for the year lS9S-1S99
was a little less than $4,000, 900
bales, averaging 500 pounds each.
1t would require 42,OOO,O0O bales,
averaging 500 pounds each, to
clothe the entire population of the
world. The above figures, taken
in round numbers from statistics,
show that over-production of cotton
is not the cause of the prevailing
low prices. We must look to some
other way of handling our vast
crop of raw staple than selling it to
other people to be manufactured
and then sold back to us at three
times it's value as compared to it's
value in the raw material.
"Ths average cotton crop in
South Carolina is about l, 900, 900
bales, or 50O,0O0,OOO pounds
at 7 cents, $35, 900, 900. Five
million pounds of white cloth,
at 20 cents, $1OO,0OO,OO This
would bring an increase Of $685.
600, 900 into the state in favor of
manufacturing over the sale of the
raw product. This amount would
not 60 to the treasures of the
factories alone, but would be
divided among the farmers, first of
all, by an increase in price, which
would probably average one-fourth
Of a cent per pound. In addition
to this, he would find ready sale at
increased prices for wood, butter,
eggs and many other
perishable farm products which are
now of small value owing to the
fact that there is no great demand
for them.
"All other business would be
stimulated by this increase of cash
earning labor"

II now seems evident, says the Ensin-

Standard oil folk have no intent Of
taking in United States mining at Blng-
ham, Utah, al SO. or any lower price.
What is TO become OF these properties
is not easy TO foretell, and the com
mittee Of bankers and brokers who are
neminally IN control recognize they
have a white elephant on their hands.
and that Standard oil has no desire TO
take II Of their hands. In this con-
nection II has come to the surface that
Standard oil no longer holds the con-
troll OF Utah Consolidated, but Mr.,
Samuel Newhouse, Messrs. George E.
Armstrong & Co., and their associates
have the bulk Of the stock This change
Of ownership Of the control may have
not a little to do with the proposed en-
largement Of the smelter and indicates
that Standard OH is not to be longer

ing. At least, such Is the undercurrent
Of opinion among the best informed
