TELLER ASKS THAT SUGAR
 QUESTION BE LOOKED INTO

Washington, April 19.-Mr. Teller, Col orado, today introduced in the Senate the following:
 Whereas, 1t has been currently re- ported that nearly the entire crop of Gu ba sugar has been purchased and Is now held by what Is generally known as the sugar trust which Is the principal con sumer of raw sugar in the United States and that any concession given to the rais- CT of cane sugar in the island of Cuba Or any measure intended for their relief by admitting their sugar at reduced rates of duty into the United States will only benefit the sugar trust and that the ca bans will receive no real beneft from such concession. and;
 whereas, It Is alleged that number of citizens of the United States have ac- quired large holdings of cane-producins lands in Cuba and are now especially urging the reduction of duty on sugar un-

Net Increase of 1os.


 The net increase in the number of dele 109. Taken by Congressional districts, the greatest gain is shown in the Ninth dis trict, in which Is located Birmingham. This district Is composed of but four counties, but the tremendous growth of Jefferson county within ten years prior to the last census-taleing runs the total delegates from that county up to fran increase of r. The next largest growth is shown in the Seconds or Montgomery district. In a total of nine counties this district shows an increase of IS dele gates and becomes the largest district in the State This district Is composed of three black" and six white counties. the latter showing the larger percentage of increase.
 The Third. long known as the wire grass district" is third in increase show ing a gain of IA delegates. With Jefferson and Walker counties excepted, the wire- grass counties have been much the lary- est gathers during the last decade.
 The Fifth district is fourth in growth. gaining 13 votes, while the others follow in the order named: Sixth district Il, First 10, Seventh 10, Fourth ', Eighth s. Hale was taken out of the Ninth and placed in the Sixth by an act of che lest Legislature.

DEMOCRATS DELIGHTED AT THE
 PLIGHT OF REPUBLICAN, LEADERS
GROSVENOR IS PIOUED
 OVER REGENT DRUBBING

Michigan, one of those prominent in op- posing the ways and means committee, commented satiIacally on MT. Grosvenor' 8 recent references to the young and mex perienced members. Telegrams of con- graduation had been pouring in today. Mir. Weeks said from the Governor of Michigan, and from those high in the councils of the Republican party on the success of the movement against the reel procity bill. With this home support be- hind, his associates did not propose to have the riot act' read to them by the gentleman from Ohio or any other lead CT.
 Our motive was to kill--that Is the plain English of it." exclaimed MT. Weeks, "and we believe that 1t is killed and that If ever it comes back to the Sem ate, its friends will not be able to rec ognize 1t
 MT. Cannon stated that if the Senate dealt with the bill as MT. Weeks .sug- gested, the House would In due time, and in its own way, deal with the amended matter. MT. Cannon's remarks put the House in good humor, and brought the discussion back to the fortifcation bill.
 An amendment by MT. Cushman, Wash ington, was agreed to for the purchase of the exclusive rights to use the high ex- plosive and making available $50,000 of @ Iormer appropriatlon TOT tnlS purpose. The bill was then passed.
 The conference report on the legisa- tive appropriation bill was agreed to- At $40 the House adjourned.

Washington, April 19.-After the turbu- lent scenes of yesterday marking the passage of the revised Cuban reciprocity bill the House settled down to routine business today. An opportunity was found, however, for the two clements in the recent struggle to give expression to their feelings. This occurred while the fortification appropriation bill was under consideration. MT. Grosvenor of Ohio, one of the ways and means lead CTS, said that the amendment which the opponents of the ways and means com mittee had engrafted upon the Payne bill not only wiped out the differential on sugar. but also did away with the coun- tervailing duty of the Dingley law. MT. Weeks of Michigan made spirited re- joinder in behalf of those who opposed the ways and means committee. He frankly conceded that the motive of the opposition had been to kill the reciprocity bill.
 The fertilization appropriation bill was passed and the conference report on the legislative appropriation bill agreed to.
 During his speech, MT. Grosvenor said the beet sugar men had overreached themselves. In order to accomplish the humiliation of certain members of the House they had not only struck off the differential on sugar but also the counter vailing duty on bounty produced sugar. Referring to what might occur in the Senate he said the action of the House by the votes of the Democrats the con- trolling factor in the House the beet .I.l --N |. Ao e. sible for the Senate to remove the dif- ferential amendment would be accused of favoring the sugar trust.

lron and Coal peveIopment.

The only development about Tuscaloosa at present which is attracting the most attention, and over which people of this city are exultant, is that of t.-e Central Iron and Coal Company At the head of this concern is MT. Joseph Lodge, a prac- tical iron maker formerly of South Pitts burg, Tenn. As the representative of this company. which has appropriated something like half million dollars for development, MT. Lodge has purchased some $500 acres of coal lands north of Tuscaloosa near Tidewater, in Tuscaloosa County. and large sections of brown ore land, and several hundred acres of red ore land. The brown ore is near Goethite He has also bought out the Martin Min ing Company on the east side of Tus- caloosa County. His coal mines have already been opened up, though the ex- tension of the Mobile and Ohio railroad or better, the Southern Railroad--has not yet been completed to the mines In- deed. these mines have been in operation for some time, and nearly 25.Oo0 tons of coal have already been taken out and is now on dump outside of the mine open ing.

 Resolved. That the committee on re- latons with Cuba be directed to make an investigation as to the truth of such charges and to report to the Senate; and to report, in addition thereto, what Is the normal cost of making sugar in the island of Cuba and also, if any conces-. sion shall be made in the way of a reduc- ton of the duty on sugar coming from Cuba into the United States; what con sessions should be made by the govern m ent of Cuba about to be established on articles produced in the United States and exported into the said island of Cuba, in order to make a reciprocal and equit- able arrangement as to exports to Cuba and imports therefrom to the United States"
 The resolution was referred to the com mittee on relations with Cuba at the sug- gvstion of MT Platt of Connecticut. chair man of that committee.

RATHBoNE BEFORE COURT. VIII Resist a Motlon for Ills Pardon
 On Part of Government.

Havana, April 1S.-Estes G. Rath- bone was brought before the supreme court this afternoon on a writ of habeas corpus. His counsel said the audiencia court had accepted the bond offered by fidelity company for Rath- bone's appearance. but had imposed the unusual condition that the bond be made public deed, drawn before notary, causing unnecessary delay and expense.
 Senor Nuno, a notary, testified that it would require a week to get the deed through and to arrange the state tax upon 1t.
 The court remained in session until 10:30 o'clock tonight, adjourning at that time until o'clock tomorrow.
 Rathbone says he will resist a move ment for his pardon, either on the part of the United States or the Cuban government He says all he wants is that the supreme court shall grant his appeal for a new trial and that that trial be held before an uninfuenced court

LEADERS STUDY
 CENSUS FIGURES Many Interesting Changes Will
 Confront the Democrats STATE PRIMARY UNLIKELY 
Tables Showing Representation By Districts Under New Plan, Also Tables Showing Percentage
 of Illiterate Voters.
BY E. E. KERsH.

Montgomery, April 9.-(Special) )-Those of the Democratic leaders in Alabama who foresee little phospect of securing a white primary for the nomination of a state ticket. are beginning to study the where they are at under q re-appor- tionment Of delegates which the commit tee will be called upon to make. A study of such a table Is interesting, and to figure it's different phases some condi- tions unexpected will confront one.
 In ''olden times'' when the white people of the state dwelt together in peace for self-protection, 1t was the custom of the state committee to place a premium upon a mans vote and count by passing the county representation in state conven- tions upon the Democratic vote. This worked very we'll until Captain Reuben F. Kolb became very potent factor in gubernatorial politics. Then 1t was found necessary to make some concessions to the white counties' in party conven- tions, and the committee fixed county representation upon population basis.
 The census of 1890 was the first used on which to figure the representation, and its adoption has proven thoroughly satis- factory until the recent agitation of a primary was begun. The manner in which this question has been taken up and discussed by the newspapers of the state. and the interest manifested by the people generally has been very surprising to that class which are commonly called politicians" They have viewed the sit- uation with some alarm, and were 1t not for the fact that the committee is with out power.' 1t Is very probable that . primary would be ordered.
 VIII Not Order Primary. v The assertion is here ventured, however. that the Democratic State executive com mittee will not order primary for the forthcoming nominations and a study of the census figures, therefore, becomes of much interest.
 When the basis of representation was changed from the Democratic vote to the population basis, the resolutions of change provided that each county should be al- lowed one delegate in a state convention for each 5000 of population and one addi- tional for each fraction of 1500 or more. This basis gave a total number Of 60a delegates to compose the convention. Under the census of 1900 should the present basis of population prevail tho next convention will be composed of 613 delegates-many candidates will doubt less attribute defeat to the thirteen" The tables below, by Congressional dis tricts, will show how many delegates will be allotted to each county. the first column showing the present number Of delegates and the second showing the number under the new apportioning:

EEFW UCSALOOSA, Aprll 1o.-NopeCidi,l-
 There Is something about Tusca-
 loosa which is restful. There is a repose about it which causes one to feel at home-to feel that he Is in an atmosphere of refinement and inhaling clear and pure air. The streets are broad and sandy, lined on either side and up the center with great oaks and elms, apparently hundreds of years old. These are fringed witn grassy lawns dotted with blooming flowers, and far back from the street fences set great old colonial resi- dences, many of which were built in times long before the war. Some are of stone and some of brick and stucco. Some are kept in condition, and others show the burden of years.
 Along among these old colonial homes there are new and neat and modern resi- dences, and the effect, instead of being gaudy, would indicate culture and re- flnement.
