CONTESTED ELECTION CASES DISCUSSED i BARNETT RETAINS SEAT FOR SEVENTH ALABAMA DISTRICT A KENTUCKY CASE TO BE VOTED ON NEXT TUESDAY. "Washing-ton, March 22. When the house met today, a senate bill was passed which appropriates $211,000 lor lighthouses at the entrance of Broad Sound channel, Boston harbor. A joint resolution was adopted to allow a man j aiment to be erectefl on the public 'ground at Charlotte, N. 'C, to the memory of Lieut. William E. Shipp, of the Tenth cavalry, who was killed in the charge up San Juan hill. Other bills were passed as follows: To authorize the secretary of war to loan tents for the use of the Knights of Pythias encampment, to be held at iSan iFrancisco. To authorize the construction of a life-saving station at Ocracoke island, N. C. j To authorize the Kinstoi & Carolina railroad to construct a (bridge across the Neuse river, at Kingston, N. C. Mr. Powers (Maine) then called up the contested election case of N. B. Spears vs. John L. Burnett from the Seventh district of Alabama. The re port was unanimously in favor of Mr. Burnett, the sitting member, who is a democrat, and it was adopted. Mr. Mann (111.), from the committee on elections No. 1, then called up the contested election case of J. McKenzie Moss vs. John L.. Rhea from the Third Kentucky district. In this case the majority of the com mittee reported in favor of the contest- ant, Mr. Moss, a republican, and the minority in favor of the sitting mem--ber, Mr. Rhea. The majority and mi- . nority resolutions were read. and it was agreed " to that the debate Upon the jCase should (be limited to eight hours, i four on a side, the. vote to be taken on Tuesday next. It was also agreed that . ,lMr. Mann (Ills.) should control the jtime for the majority and Mr. Fox j (Miss.) for the minority. Mr. Mann then took the floor and made the open ing address in favor of the contentions of the majority of the committee in their decision against the sitting mem ber. He said that it was unquestioned that Mr. 'Moss had received more votes than Mr. Rhea, who, on the face of the 'returns, had 156 plurality.' Adding to !the vote of each candidate the votes i rejected under the Goebel election law he said the plurality for the sitting member was coverted into a plurality for :Mr. Moss of 71. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Mann said there was nothing in the record which in any way reflected upon the high character of the sitting member. 'Mr. Burgess (Tex.) defended the con tention of the minority that Mr. Rhea was entitled to retain his seat. He argued that none of the disputed (bal lots should foe counted under the Ken tucky law, but maintained that if cor rectly counted according to cor rect rules of law the result would not be changed. A vote will be taken on this case on Tuesday. By an almost unanimous vote the house committee on foreign affairs has struck out of the Mitchell-Kahn Chi nese exclusion bill the paragraph pro hibiting ships flying the American flag DECORATED1 TOILET SETS.

The main argument leading to strik ing out the provision was that Ameri can ships on the Pacific compete with English and Japanese lines and that the latter ships would" indirectly receive a great advantage in continuing the i employment of Chinese at $7.50 per j month, whereas the American, ships would have to pay about $30 per month for white sailors.

Senator Pritchard at next Tuesday's meeting of the committee on elections will urge favorable action upon the recommenda tion of an investigation of the charges made against Senator McLaurin by his colleague, Senator Tilman, which led to their personal encouniter.

Pritchard declares, however, that he does not mean to allow the resolution to be smothered in committee and will insist on having it reported, so that the ques tion involved can be brought into the senate and decided on its merits.
