A REVOLT AQAINST .' AMERICAN COTTON. Earopeia Comtrlei Seeklsf to Ensacl pit Their Textlla ladsstrles (rota Depesdesce Upos United States. By Telegraph to the Morning star, Washington, Jan. 27. "A revolt against American cotton" ia the title of a long report just received at the 8Uta Department -from United States Consul General Mason, at Berlin, Germany. Mr. Mason sajs that foremost among the economic movements In Europe, which may have a serious meaning for important Interests In America, is the present simultaneous one by Great Briiaio, France and Germany to emancipate their textile Industries from dependence upon American cot ton. The portentous feature of the sit .'.. I Aft. . iIiub. I m v , Ant. In Ann. UlllUU II lUKk IUDIB ! UU. UU1J .u vji - many but throughout Europe a grow-, intr feeling of resentment against this dependence and a determination that their spinning and weaving Industries must at any cost be emancipated from sucti vassalage by the development of wb'illy new aourcesof supply. The German press charges that the Ameri can cotton market is at the mercy of the speculators who drive up and down the prlcea to auit their own purposes. Thus far the movement is in lis infancy, but its future may be ominous for the cotton growers of our Bo-itbern States, says Mr. Mason. Ex periments in the East African colonies during the last two years have been auccetaful. It is announced that there are many thousand square miles of land in East Africa wiin soil and cli mate well adapted for the cultivation of cotton. Through the German conaul at Gal veston arrangements are being made to send over and educate at agricultu ral schools abd on plantations m Texas a number of young Germans, who be fore going will contract to spend a number of years as superintendents of plantations ia the German African colooiei. Coolie labor from China will be employed In case the native tribes prove too incompetent. It may be many years before this European crusade for colonial cotton may be accompliahcd; but, says Mr. Mson, whether we like It or not, the day will come aooner or later when the cotton of our Southern uplanda and valleys will no loogr be king be yond the frontiers of the United States.

Sena tor Morgan protested against the second report of - the committee w. ich rescinded the action adopting the amendoienta and declared that the Changes suggested, particularly in re gard to safeguarding the health of tboae who work on the canal, were ab so ately essential.

Spoke in Support of (he Measure, First DemocratkfSenator to Take That Position. . CONDEMNED THE PRESIDENT. tile Coarse la Connection With the evo lotion Was Imprudent and Danger ooj lionse Proceedings Va rlons Matters Discuses'. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washisqton, Jan. 27. The pro eeedinga of the Senate to day included a speech by Mr. Simmons, of North Carolina, on the Panama canal treaty, and the passage of a number of bills and resolutions. Mr. Simmons spoke In supoort of the treaty, being the first Democratic senator to take that position on that measure on the floor of the Senate. He announced his con viction that both under the Spooner act and under bia general treaty mak ing power the Preaident bad authority to enter into a treaty with Panama, after it became an Independent atate, for the construction of a canal via the Panama route. He said: 'What has been done In Panama has been done and cannot be undone. It was not done by the Democratic party, neither could that party have prevented its doing, and therefore, it a to no way reiponaible for its doing, ir what haa been done in Panama can oe undone at all by this government, it can only be undone by doing a greater wrong to Panama than has already been done to Colombia. Sure ly, the defeat of thia treaty will neither undo nor remedy that wrong. "I am not here to defend the actiona of the Preaident, either in connection with the revolution or in recognition of the independence of Panams. "There la much in hie conduct In these connections of which I disap prove; which I regard as impruaent and unwise; aa rash and dangerous to the peace and welfare of thia country; aa contrary to the policy of this gov ernment in ita dealinga with other nations, especially those on this hemisphere, and as not calculated to advance us in the affections and esteem of other nations. I do not toink. however,' that everything the Preaident haa done in thia connection waa wrong.. From the bottom of my heart I would be glad for the honor of my country, I would be glad if I could reconcile all of his acta in this connec tion with my notions of right and law. but I cannot and be honeat with my elf. I am bound to say, and I have no pleasure in saving it, that the course of the President, both in connection wtih the revolution In Panima and the recognition of its Independence, was to ssy the least, hasty, raab, im prudent, and dangerous to the peace nd welfare of thia country, and justi fies the feeling of many of his politi cal friends as well aa hia political op ponents In the belief that he lacks that conservatism which considerations of national stability and safety make necesssry and desirable In the chief Mr. Simmons said he believed that the President and the Secretary of State should bi relieved of all charge complicity in the Panama revolt. He said that be did not believe inai the possession of information concern ing an approaching revolution abould be accepted as discrediting tne state ment of the President, and" added: In entire deference to the views of others on tbis side of the chamber. who may differ with me in thia opin ion, I think that the statement of the President in tbi9 respect mould oe sc- cepted. Undoubtedly the President koew of the forthcoming revolution in Panama. It waa his duty, in -view of Immloent insurrection,, to have on the ground sufficient force to protect the lives and property of American dozens. Ibis be aid, ana it ne naa done no more than thia be would have done no more than hia duty under the law." i Mr. Simmons announced bis belter that the change of recommendation of the isthmian canal commission irom the Ntcaraguan to the Panama route bad been the result of honest convic tion. He also accepted the Spooner act aa a deliberate pronouncement by Congress in favor of Panama and a direction to the Preaident to conatruct the canal by that route. "If possible to acquire title in a reasonable time." Interpreting the pbrate "reaaonanie time on broad principles be did not believe that there waa any lapse of reasonable time which would have made it the President's duty to turn to the alternative route designated in the statutes. Mr. 8immons continued: "It is contended and vehemently as serted by some of the opponents of this treaty, that a vote for Ita ratincatioo. uader the circumstances, is tanta mount to condoning the action of the administration, both as to the revolu tion and to the recognition. If I thought that, as favorably as I regard this treaty, as deeply important to us aa ia the immediate construction of the canal, and aa vezatloua aa I am sure ill be the delays in the commence ment of thatngreat work, if thia treaty should be def ated, I do not think I could vote for it. 'To my mind you might ai well say that I cannot administer on the eatate of a dead man without approv ing of hia death, as to ssy that I can not act upon the admitted fact that Panama ia an independent nation without approving of the meana by which that Independence was achieved." Mr. Simmons also announced bis In tention to vote for the various solu tions of Inquiry and closed with the expression of a desire that Colombia might be compensated for her loss. Honse of Representatives. General debate in the House to-day on the Urgent Deficiency bill digressed to a dlacuision of political topics, the race q tettion and aerial navigation Mr. Burkett, of Nebraake, led off with a dlacuision of the political situation from a Republican viewpoint and Mr. Conrad, of Missouri, spoke for the Democrats. C B. Landls, Republican, of In dians, closed the dsy in a politics speech laattng an hoar, lie declared that Mr. Booaevelt will be nominated. with the record of hia administration for bis platform. ; Mr. Hsrwick rejoiced at the happy relation now existing between tbe North and South, i He said the South Yielded to no see' Ion in loyalty and to The Old Standard Crqve's Tasteless Chill Tonic has stood the test, 25 years.

Qaotlng census f) cures ha showed that the negroes eosAiiate aboat 8S percent, of those of the. voting population In eleven of the Southern 8tater, which figures, he said, suggested the magnitude of tbe problem. . Reviewing the voting qualifications imposed by constitutional action in Southern States, Mr. Harwlck said it was not believed by some of the law yen of ability that any of these quali fications were in conflict with the 15th amendment. He said the negro can no longer stand as a political ward of the government, but must stand on his merits as clt'aen. He said there bad never been a dis position in the South to deprive tbe negro of his civil rights the right to. earn a living and the right of protec tion to life and property. There can be no political equality, he said. He quoted atatiatics and aaid it waa ahown that as illiteracy decreased among the rsce criminality increased, from which be deduced that education had been detrimental rather than beneficial to the negro. Mr. Watson (Ind.) asked if he be lieved in abolishing schools for the negro. Mr. Harwlck replied that higher education unfitted the negro for work; that it gave him an ambition too high to be realized in tbe South or else where. Calling attention to tbe laws of a number of 8tates, including Ohio, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Oregon, California, Wyoming and Idaho, be aaid if the repreaenta tion of tbe Southern Statea were to bs reduced because of the voting qualifi cation imposed, the representation of the States named would have to be re duced for the same reason. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) remarked to Mr. Harwlck that it was the best pre sentation of a bad case he had ever heard. Reference to election methods in Southern States precipitated numerous colloquies between Mr. Landls and Mr. Williams (Miss.) and several others on the minority side. Mr. Lan dis said proaperity waa here to remain if the Democrats would let it stay, but the Democrata could scare it away to morrow, he added, by electing a De mocratic Congress and enacting a meamre similar to the Gorman-Wilson tariff bill. Tbe Repu blicans, declared Mr. Landls, would go into the battle on the party record. He called atten tion to the prosperous condition of the Southern States, and replying to a question by Mr. Livingston (Gs.) he said tbe Democratic Statea were proa- porous in apite of themselves. The House ad journed until to-mor row. O'BRIEN AND TOMMY RYAN. Six Round Boat in Philadelphia Both Men in Bad Shipe at tbe Close. No Decision Given. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Philadelphia, Pa , Jan. 27. Jack O'Brien and Tommy Ryan fought one of the f aateat six round bouts ever seen in this city to-nigbt, and Ryan, the Phlladelpbiao, bad a alight advantage. When the gong sounded ending the fight both men were in very bad shape. Near the close of tbe fifth round while O'Brien was on the flior one of his seconds threw a sponge full of water upon blm. Many persona were of the oploion that thia meant the termina tion of the fight, but the referee said no. For three years the two fighters have been endeavoring to arrange a battle a order to decide who waa entitled to the middle-weight championahip but aome unforeseen hitch usually termi nated the negotiations until the pres ent match was ' Arranged In Chicago three weeka ago. Tbe men agreed to meet here In a six round bout for a $5,000 purse, split equally, and under the laws govern- ng boxing In Philadelphia, no decl- aion can be given. Under these con ditions, however, each man was aa careful and conscientious with his training as if he was going twenty rounds to a decision for the champion ship. FORTY PERSONS INJURED.

Jan. 25th: "The way of the transgeaaor is hard." The crowd of Danville, Va,, sports who rolled into Asheville with roosters of high Spanish pedi gree will doubtless realize the truth of the above quotation. At 3:30 this morning; Policemen Webb and Uuchner were sent to the depot to investigate the report that a gang of tramps were holding high car nival in an old bnilding. The offi cers flushed bigger game than they were looking for when they broke into a full fledged cocking main. There were sports, and greenbacks galore, and on the floor of the building lay a pile of dead roosters which told a silent but eloquent story of strife and carnage. The sporting talent was moBtly of foreign extraction, coming from the classic suburbs of Danville, Va. They were about fifty in number and all seemed to be having a rare good time when the officers arrived. At the time of going to press the sports were engaged in telling the police about the respective merits of the birds. To Car sv Cold ia One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Last year the exports were valued at $378,000,000 against $232,768,204 In 1898. In pounds the exports last year amounted to 3,620,000,000 as compared with 4,- 178,000,000 In 1898. The high prices or the American staple not only checked the exports last year, but stirred up the three largest for eign cotton consuming countries England, Germany ana France to a point -where these three coun tries have given out word that they will leave no stone unturned to mako themselves independent of the American staple and the ma nipulation of speculators.
