RECIPROCITY DEBATED
QUESTION COMES UP IN THE
 SENATE.
MT. Teller Contends That If Tariff is Touched It Should Be Re- vised in Many Other
 Instances.

Washington, June 27.-Quite unexpect- edly sharp debate arose in the Senate today on the question of Cuban reciproc- ity.
 MT. Teller (Colo.), at whose instance the Senate Committee on Cuban Rela- tions made its investigation of the sub- ject, delivered a spirited address in op- position to reciprocity with Cuba. He charged that the entire reciprocity prop aganda had been backed by the Ameri- can Sugar Refining Company and by Americans who were interested financi- ally in Cuban sugar plantations. The purpose, he said, was to strike down an important agricultural industry of this country. He was willing to join in a general revision of the tariff to meet changed conditions, but unless the steel and other products were reduced togeth- arrangement might be equitable, the beet sugar growers never would consent to q reduction on their product
 Mir. Platt (Conn), chairman of the Gu ban Relations Committee. maintained there was nothing sordid in the desire to promote reciprocal relations between the United States and Cuba. and said the making of some concessions to Cuba was a plain duty of this country. It was a duty which this Government owed to Cuba, because absolutely friendly reIa- tions with the new republic were a means of defense to this country unless the United States should annex the islands.
 The District of Columbia appropria- tion bill was disposed of finally.

THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY
MARVELLOUS INCREASE IN TAE
 SOUTH.
The Carolinas and Alabama Have Greatly Enlarged Their Output in the Last Few Years.
 England Still Leads.

Washington, June 27.-The Census Bu reau today issued report on the com bined textile industry of the United States for 1900. The branches included in the industry follow:
 Cotton manufactures, including cottor goods and cotton small wares, wool man. ufactures, including wooien goods. worst. ed goods, carpets and rugs. other than rag, felt goods and wool hats, silk man. ufactures, hosiery and knit goods, cord age and twine, linen goods. jute goods and dyeing and finishing textiles.
 The census shows a capital of $l,042.- 997. .577 invested in the 4,3l2 establishments reporting for the industry. This sum represents only the live capital utilized and the value of the lands buildings, machinery, tools and implements. The vaule of the products is returned at $91. .494, ,566, to produce which involved an outlay of $23.2S9, ,l62 for salaries of off, ficials, clerks, etc; $209 ,022, AT for wages; $63 I22, ,916 for miscellaneous expenses. and S521 200 for material used, mill supplies, freight and fuel
 The value now represented for hosiery and knit goods cannot be divided between cotton and wool, but if it be added to
 
 of the textiles consumed in the United States in 1900 is $S955S .5S1. and the per- centage imported Is only $9.1S.
 The report says the census tables seem to indicate that the United States in 1900 was the leading country of the world in the manufacture of cotton, but quotes other authorities. and adds:
 Although the amount consumed by the countries of the European continent ex- ceeded that consumed in the United States. the consumption in the latter country greatly exceeded that of any other countries, France, Germany, Aus tria. Russia, and others.
 Ut Is. however, universally known that Great Britain is far in the lead in cotton manufactures. The fact is brought out in the special report of the cotton industry that an immense proportion of the spinning in the United States is coarse or medium yarns. whereas, the average spinning on the other side of the Atlantic is much finer"
 The report concludes:
 ''The sudden springlng of the Southern States into prominence into the industry i3 shown strikingly by the total increase of capital from S2O 413, 414 in 1880 to S62.- 623, 739 in 1890 and to Sl37, ,172.511 in 1900 Ten years ago and also In 1880, Georgia was easily the leader among the South ern States. but it has now been surpass- ed by South and North Carolina, in each of which States the value of product was not much less than in the States of Maine and New Hampshire. where the industry has been established for half century, and fin the number of hands employed both North and South Carolina surpass both of these New England States. The growth in Alabama has also been great the amount of capital having exactly quadrupled in ten years"

THE HUMBERT CASE.
Firman Faure Brings It Up in the
 Chamber of Deputies.

Paris. June 27.-The Humbert case was brought up in the Chamber of Deputies today when M Firman Faure (National- ist) interpellated the government on the subject.
 M. Faure said he wanted to know why the then Minister of Justice, M. Monis. had not intervened until May s; why measures had not been taken previously to arrest the authors of the colossal swindle and why the then Minister of Fi- nance, M. Caillaux. had not given orders to collect the ten million francs success sion duty to which the State had the righ. to claim on the heritage. He recalled that Senator Valle, the present Minister of Justice, when acting as counsel, asked M. Caillaux why the duties were not col fected and did not obtain any satisfaction and Nj. Valle could not act now against legal functionary who had failed to do his duty, because he would be accused of personal spite But NJ. Valle should now tell all he knew about the affair and the vote of the chamber would protect him.

REVIVAL OF FESTIVITIES.
Prospect of Kings Rapid Recovery
 Brings on Talk.

London. June 27.-The King of Dem mark who intended coming to London to- day has been dissuaaed from so doing by Queen Alexandra. who telegraphed her father that King Edward is making good progress.

Queen Alexandra attending to take the salute on behalf of the King she did recently at Aldershot This idea was warmly ad- vocated by the colonial premiers in Lon- don and it has been approved by Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary.
 It is also likely that as soon as his majesty shall be pronounced out Of danger, London will indulge in a general illumination. Very few of the ilIumina- tion devices in the city have been dis turbed. their owners awaiting the decis- tion of the Prince of Wales in the mat ter The Prince has not yet ordered the removal of the devices from Marlborough House.
 It is not impossible that the abandon ment of the naval review set for June 2S will be rcconsdeEed. Other entertain ments for the nations colonial and Indian guests are also being arranged. Thus, if there shall be no setback in his ma iesty's progress there will be a partial re- vival of the interrupted festivities.
 The Times this morning says
 The King remains recumbent; he takes with comfort the nourishment ap- propriate to his condition and keeps bright and cheerful, in spite of the irksomeness of his enforced inactivity. Some of his medical advisers are always in attend ance. There is happily good reason for hoping that his majesty will make complete and speedy recovery"
