ATLANTA. Ca. March ,T-Congress-
ton. passed through Atlanta today on his
way home from Havana. Mr. Lewis says
he believes the Republicans will put up
Mckinley and Roosevelt for the next
campaign. and the Democratic ticket, he
thinks. will read Bryan and Schley."
For chairman of the Republican national
committee Mr.. Lewis believes Mark Han
ma is slated. while Senator German viii
fill a like position for the Democrats. In
explaining his ''i!ne-ups." Mr.. Lewis said:
You will find that the Republicans will
not renomina,e Mr.. Hobart, because they
can make stronger nomination. OF
course. the fact that the antitrust tight
Will be particularly prominent N the COM
ing campaign makes him rather vuincr-
able, for most of the trusts have been in
corporated under the New Jersey laws.
for which the Republican party OF that
state is responsible and the line TO Ho-
bart is direct, but that Is not the chief
reason for looking elsewhere for vice
presidential timber. Unless the Republicans
have the active assistance OF some war
hero, they will be In a bad nx. Naturally
they turn to Roosevelt. who is certainly
the best man they could take.
Roosevelt would undoubtedly add
strength to that ticket" continued Col
Lewis. AS to the Democratic ticket, I
figure 1t out this way:
There has been an effort to make Il
appear that Mr.. German has been fighting
Bryan. in order TO get the nomination for
himself. He has not had that idea. for
he knows he could not possibly be nom-
mated, but he is still and will always be
an active factor in the management OF
Democratic affairs, and when the time
comes to consider the question OF vice
presidential nominee he will say: We
must have n war hero. There is Schley,
for whom the people of the country have
a great love- The people know that
Sehley was in that great battle of San
tsago and that he was In technical COM
mand there. His nomination would tend
to unite all Democratic elements. and I
believe that If he were nominated he
would prove a tower OF strength. also
believe Mr.. German would under those
circumstances accept the chairmanship
of the national committee"

EXPERT TOBACCO TESTING


-veloped Sense of Smell.
The greater part-in fact, nearly all
-of the tobacco raised in Cuba and not
used by the Cuban cigar makers is
shipped to the United States. At certain
seasons of the year the Havana hotels
are filled with tobacco buyers from the
United States. Some of them deal
through the brokers in Havana, but
some who know the country and the
language go out into the tobacco dis.
triot and deal directly with the plant
ers, often buying promising crop be-
fore it is picked The tobacco buyer has
necessarily to be good judge of tobac.
co. He goes down into the very center
Of the bale of tobacco he is examining,
extracts some samples and tests them in
different ways.
The first test is ri, 0 smell. The
Cuban tobacco has q :sRung and pecul-
lar odor. A little variation one way or
the other makes the tobacco good or
bad After smelling it the buyer is like
tly to roll . rudely constructed cigar out
OF the leaf and smoke 1t. He will inhale
eAo nAAoho duu oIiuoofoC W u6t6TIulue
exactly the flavor. He will also examine
the ash carefully and test also the COIN
bustion of the tobacco-that is, try to
find out how long it will hold fire. It is
great annoyance to q smoker who is
talking or writing or otherwise engaged
to put his cigar into his mouth and find
that it has gone out. No cigar ever
tastes 30 good after 1t has once cone out,
and fine Havana cigar is positively
rank when 1t has met such catas-
trophe. So one quality sought for is
that Of holding fire. If q sample smoked
by the buyer will keep lighted four
minutes, 1t is considered very good.
Some will burn for five minutes and
even longer without being puffed.
