OUR COMPETTToR IN COTTON.

The cotton industry of British India
and its growth in recent years, discuss
ed in a report just received by the de-
partment of commerce and labor
through its bureau of statistics, shows
that the number of mills in India at
the end OF the fiscal year 1904 was
204, against 1877 in the fiscal year 1884,
and in 1904 the number of spindles
was 5.21S,344, against 1858, 6S1 in 1884.
The number of persons employed was
1921 in 1904, against $50, 57O in 1884.
The nominal capital and debentures in
1904 amounted to about 65 million dol
lars. of which so million dollars was
paid up.
The number of spindles in the United
States is about four times as great as
that of India, while the rate of increase
in the number of spfndles in operation
has averaged in the case of the United
States 715,O00 per annum, and in the
case Of India 167, 900 per annum during
the past decade.
These figures, Indicating the growth
in the cotton manufacturing industries
of India and the United States, respec-
lively, and the relative manufacturing
facilities of the two countries. are es-
pecially interesting in view of the fact
that India is the second largest cotton
producing country Of the world her to-
tai production averaging about mil
lion bales annually, against an average
of about 10 million bales for the Uni
ted States while Egypt ranks third with
an average production of over / million
bales annually. The statistics of the
commerce of India show that that
country, with its population of 800, O0o,-
coo people demanding cotton nanufac-
lures and its large supply of cheap la
Dor, exported in 1884, the latest avail
able year, SIS, PSI, 600 pounds of raw cot
ton, 25z million pounds Of twist and
yarn, valued at 2s.6 million dollars. and
rs million yards Of cotton piece goods.

ROOSEVELT GIVES UP.
Has No Hope of Railroad Legislation
at This Session.

Washington, Feb. 20.-President
Roosevelt, who has been for weeks
hopeful that some definite action
might be taken at the present session
or congress on the railroad rate cues
ton, practically has relinquished the
idea of securing legislation on the sub
Ject this winter. It is reasonably GER
tain that he will not call an extraordi-
nary session of congress to meet in the
spring., but, unless he changes his
mind, he will call congress together
probably next October.
Representatives Esch and Town
send, joint authors of the rate bill
which passed the house, had a talk
With the president today. They out
llned the rate situation in congress as
they have found it. They agreed with
him that the prospect for the enact
ment OF rate legislation at this session
was remote They Indicated that if no
actlon We're taken at this session the
subject would be considered thorough
" during the coming summer with the
idea OF presenting a measure at the
next session which very likely would
contain some additional features. As
they left the White House both Messrs
Esch and Townsend expressed the con-
vlctlon that an extra session would be
called for next autumn to deal with
the rate question.

WILL BE A BIG EVENT.
Two Hundred and Fifty Tickets Sold
for Democratic Banquet.

Final preparations are being made
by the Democrats for their banquet
which will be held here this week.
wednesday, on Washington's birthday
Colonel Sapp, who is in charge of the
arrangements, states that the banquet
viii be one of the best which has ever
been held of similar character in the
state. The idea which is fathering
the giving of the banquet if is for the
establishment of a permanent affair
something in the nature Of the Kansas
Day banquet.
This is the first banquet for many
years at which the Democracy of the
best Democracy of the state has as
sembled, according to statement
made by Colonel Sapp. About ESQ
tickets have been sold thus far and the
chances that still more will be sold.
The younger blood of the Democracy
will be out in full strength and the
absence of a number of the old war;
riors will be noted. 1t is stated that
the reason for this is that they feel
sighted because of the failure on the
part of those managing the affair to
ask them to appear in response to
toasts. J. H. Atwood, national COM
mitteenan, it is stated, has refused to
accept an invitation for this reason
