Washington, June 27.-The House to- Hay began consideration of the contest sd election case of Horton against But Ter, from the twelfth Missouri district Tn this case the majority of the com mittce found that tho election was so tainted with fraud, as to make 1t invalid. and said that the seat be declared va- cant.
 The minority found that MT. Butler, the sitting member, had been legally elected and recommended that he retain his seat. The vote will be taken tomor- row.
 Requests for unanimous consent for which there is always a great demand during the closing days of a session, were suddenly blocked today by Mir. Moon, Tennessee. who told his friends that he would object to all such re- quests until he was recognized to ask consideration of the bill to give the h. dian territory a territorial form of gov ernment.
 A bill was passed to amend the in ternal revenue laws so as to place Peri que tobacco on a similar footing with
 
 Mir Taylor of Ohio called up the con- tested election case of Horton vs. Butler from the twelfth Missouri district. in which the majority of the committee re- ported there was no valid election, and in favor of declaring the seat vacant. MT. Richardson raised the question of consideration against the case, and stated despite the speakers ruling that the mo- tion was not debatable; that MT.

Decatur, June 27.-(speciaD-At the con- cIusion of the fourth day of the prelim- mary trial of Jasper Hardwick fsT the killing of pr. J. B. Thomson at Cedar Plains last Saturday, the five justices on the case unanimously committed Hard- wick to jail without bail to await trial In the Circuit Court for murder in the first degree.
 Hardwick was put on the stand and swore that Dr. Thomson presented pis- tol at his breast. and that his first shot broke Thomasons arm when he dropped his pistol in the creek This testimony was disapproved by Hardwick's own wit nesses who say they saw Thomason's arm drop at the second shot and his hand had nothing in 1t.
 A physician swore that hypothetically the shot that killed MT. Thomson was the one fired into his back, when he was in full flight. and yards away from hi; slayer.

U. s. LEADING THE WORLD
Sudden Sprnging of Southern States Into Prominence Is Shown Strik- ineIy By the Increase of Cap
 ltaI-Alabama Growing.

Washington, June 27-The census bu- reau today issued report on the combin- ed textile industry of the United States for 190O The branches included in the in- dustry follow:
 Cotton manufactures, including cotton goods and cotton small wares, wool man. ufactures including woolen goods, worst ed goods, carpets and rugs other than rag, felt goods and wool hats; silk man. ufacturers, hosiery and knit goods; cor dage and twine, linen goods, jute goods and dying and finishing textiles
 The census shows a capital of S1,042, ,997.- 5H invested in the 4S12 establishments re- porting for the industry. This sum repre- sents only the live capital utilized and the value of the lands, buildings, ma | chinery, tools and implements. The value of the lands, buildings, machinery, tools and implements. The value of the pro- ducts is returned at s931, .512 to produce which involved an outlay of %-S. ass. .162 for salaries of officials, clerks, etc.; s2o0, ,o22,- AT for wages; s63 122.018 for miscellaneous expenses and 1,2OO 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 1t be added to report ed home production the total value of the textiles consumed in the United States in 1900 is $s95, ,5S7, 581, 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 mi of mi ga 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 country, France, Germany, Austria, Russia and others.
 Tt Is, however, universally known that Great Britain Is far in the lead in cotton manufacture. The fact Is brought out in the special report on the cotton industry that an immense proportion of the spin ming in the United States IS coarse or medium yarns, whereas the average spinning on the other side of the Atan- tic is much finer"
 The report concludes:
 The sudden springing of the Southern states into prominence in the industry Is shown strikingly by the total increase of capital from $20, 413,41 in 1880 to $6z,- 62S, ,739 in 1890 and to s137. ,511 In 1900 Ten years ago and also in 1880 Georgia was easily the leader among the South ern states but 1t has now been surpassed by North and South 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 a century; and In the number of hands em- | ployed 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.
