Virginia Tobacco in Japan.

Senator Martin and Representative
Swanson, of Virginia, have been in
conference with State Department off.
cials concerning recent decree Of the
japanese government, which they
thought might have serious effect on
the tobacco Interests of Virginia and
other sections The call was mainly to
90 ure info mltion and to bring about
any representations which would in
sure full protection TO the American
industry.
At the japanese Legation it is ex-
planned that the tobacco decree referred
to can have no i'll effect on the Ameri-
can trade. Some time ago the Japanese
government adopted the plan in vogue
in some European counties Of monopo-
lizing the leaf tobacco industry, making
it source Of government income.
This was confined to the Japanese
product Of leaf tobacco, the government
buying it from the grower and selling
it to the manufacturer Recently this
monopoly has been extended to all leaf
tobacco. Of foreign as well as japanese
production, so that the American and
other imports Of foreign tobacco is
taken by the government and sold to
the manufacturers, as they may desire
it. This, however, does not apply to
any kind Of manufactured tobaccos,
cigars, or cigarettes, although the duty
on these goods was slightly increased by
the last Diet. The duty is now about
100 per cent. ad valorem, which is said
to be far below the average American
duty on manufactured tobaccos.
The japanese governments action as
70 leaf tobacco does not go into effect
until after the new treaty between the
United States and Japan becomes opera
tive. viz July II. next The Japanese
Minister says the japanese use OF
American leaf tobacco has been increas-
Ing steadily Of late. and that this will
90 on, as the recent action is not de.
signed TO restrict or limit the foreign
import, but merely to allow the govern
ment TO enjoy the profit on an article
of luxury.

Samoan Partition Proposed BY Morgan

Asked for an expression OF opinion
on the Samoan difficulty, Senator John
T. Morgan, of Alabama. a leading
member Of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations. says:
There is bat one permanent solution
Of the Samoan question. That is
partition of the island by the three
great powers, which have by common
desire Just formed a commission to rec
oncile the differences between them
selves and the native Samoans.
The United States, Great Britain and
Germany will, in my Judgment, act
most wisely il they Immediately pro-
ceed TO a settlement on the natur al
theory that little good will result from
temporizing policy toward these war.
like and bloodthirsty sayages.
Whatever sentiment we may enter
tain for the rights Of the Samoans. the
arbitrary law Of nature, which prevents
an incongruous assimilation OF people,
will ever be all insurmountable barrier
to peace. progress, and civilization as
long as governmental control is by the
weaker class.
The Samoan question, in view OF the
evident intentions of the United States,
Great Britain and Germany, has its
lessons in our own country in the sub
jugation of the African and in the fate
of the Indian. The spread Of the high
est type Of civilization rapidly and
ruthlessly encroaches upon barbarism,
superstition. and stupidity. These
stubborn laws Of nature cannot be
changed, and it is better that they be
recognized at the outset Of the work
that is before the Samoan Commission,
and that the instructions Of the ma
tions represented thereon be given ac--
cordingly.
In the pending diplomacy on this
question the United States, with grace
aud fairness, can take the initiative, as
she did several years ago in the treaty
arranged with Mslietos England and
Germany then lost no time in follow
ing our example, and in securing the
same recognition accorded to US.
The immediate purpose Of these three
nations is to secure permanent coaIing
stations upon the island. Once estab-
lished, however, these stations cannot
be peaceably maintained under the ex-
isting conditions Of the natives. Until
completely subjected to the control OF
the whites, these savages will be
constant menace, and bloodshed will
follow.
am thoroughly impressed with the
Importance Of partition, as believe
that the immediate division OF the is.
land will bring about the speedy solu-
tion Of trouble that may terminate
gradually with tho practical extermins-
tion of the Samoan race.
The United States should have
coaling station at Pago Pago. And
then, with the long desired cable in the
Pacific, reaching TO Honolulu and to
Sydney, giving communication with
the home governments, there will be
little to interfere with the spread of
civilization in the Samoan Islands

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only o-e way to cure deafness, and hat is
by constitutional remed es. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustschian Tube.
When this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the re.
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, viii h is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces

NEW De MANO FOR SPIRITS.
Big Orders From Government to make
Smckeless Powder.

The Louisville Courier Journal says
The American Spirits Manufacturing
Company. which with three other
liquor trusts it is be consolidated with
the Kentucky Distilleries and Werehouse
Company, has new source of revenue.
which will probably mean millions OF
dollars to the combined whisky inter-
ests Spirits form the prime factor in
the manufacture Of smokeless powder
The government has negotiated with
the company for vast quantities of this
purduct TO use in the making of this
smokeless powder.
During the Spanish American war
the Spaniards had a great advantage
over the Americans on account Of the
fact that they used the smokeless pow
der exclusively. Since the War the
United government has taken up the
manufacture Of smokeless powder and a
good supply is now being made under
the direction of the War Depart
ment.
Samuel Rice, president of the spirits
trust and also head of the Kentucky
Bourbon trust took the matter up with
officials at Washington. The result Of
Mr.. Rices efforts was that big con-
tract was let by the government for
spirits. The first consignment of spirits
was sent east short time ago ana
amounted to between 300 900 and 400, 600
gallons. The greater part of the out
put of the company plants will be used
by the government for some time to
come.
