To express their satisfaction with the
stand taken by tie Treasury OF the question
OF classifying tobaccos pending the final
decision by the courts in the Rothschid
case.
Tne Treasury policy vas expressed IN
circular issued ou December g advising

OF each b5le-the leaves counted and the
percentage of wrapper and filler tobaccos
respcctiveI reported according totbe count.
Wrapper tobacco Is recognized as includ-
ing any lea yes which are suitable SOr
wrapping cigars; if any OF it be found,
regardless of whether it is packed with
filler tobacco, or in separate bales, it must
be assessed at wrapper rates, under para
graph 2l3 OF the DincIey act; and, If
more than 10 per cent OF wrapper 10
bacco be contained in any bale OF fiilcr
tobacco, the entire Contents OF the bale
are to be classified as OF the wrapper
class.
The visiting merchants and the superviS-
ing special agent, Mr. Chance, who was
called il. decided that they would nOt
make any statement regarding the inter
view with the A ssistant Secretary; but
from other sources il is ascertained
that, in spite OF the TrrasUry's efforts,
there is the greatest Iaxity or adj
ministratior at some or the ports where
tobacco is entered in large quantities.
Whether or not this iS due simply 10 easy
going methods or tb inefficiency in the
appraising department. is not positively
known, but the weaker points on the
customs map seem to be Tampa Key Vest.
New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco and

When the ports on the upper Atlantic
coast are rigidly guar ried against the III
PRODUCTION of wrapper tobacco in dis
guise, the factories in Boston, New York
and Philadelphia have had a hard time
competing under a duty Of 81 So, with
factories elst where, which are assessed
on the same goods only 80 cents.
Accompanying thepartyof manufacturers
was Wilbur F Wakeman, appraiser Of New
York He declined to make any comments
on the alleged shortcomings at other ports.

a prominent diplamat. who read the
interesting inter view IwithaSenator Morgan
published yesterday morning in The Tim IS

that the big interest which America has
in tie drama now being enacted at and

coast of China is AMI accomplishcd faeS."
There is enc thing he said, that
is going on right here in Washington that
has escaped The eyes possibly Of the State
Department, and that is the certain ALI
ance between England and japan. So far
as the Chinese question is concerned, The
only combination for England now is with
Japan, and Japan is drifting to ward Eng
land to save herself from Russia, and Eng
land is allying herself with japan as
barrier against Russia.
What An erica has now to fear is Just
such an alliance 20 far az Hawaii Is con
cerned.
There is rlore In the story OF kaioulani

there she now remains awaiting develop

it on authurt ytiiat if there wa stheslight sSt
doubt thr,wn out by President McKf ley
or his Cabinet. Or his Senate, that the an

option of another alliance. The Dole go|

maintaining its autonomy under Japan, In
which c3se England would abandon heridea
