Relief For Tobacco Growers.

At "a hearing before the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means Internal
Revenue Commissioner Yerkes said he
saw no reason why relief should not be
extended to the tobacco growers of the
South by removing the tax of cents a
pound on leaf tobacco.
This would allow the grower to sell his
product to "A merchant or anyone else.
although Mr.. Yerkes said that if this
tobacco should be sold to manufacturer
the tax should be charged. This propo-
sition is contained in pending bill in
troduced by Representative Gaines, of
Tennessee.
f. NJ. Flach, Of Hopkinsville, Ky, and
ex Representative Washington, repre-
senting the Robinson County Tenn. J
Tobacco Growers Association, told the
committee that there was great distress
in the BLACK tobacco belt' of Kentucky,
where l40, 600, 600 pounds of tobacco was
produced annually From so to IS per
cent. of this tobacco is exported, it was
stated, but there seemed TO be a com
bination among the foreign buyers which
kept the price very low If the internal
revenue tax were rensoved it would de.
velop a domestic market for this tobacco
it was believed.

The TREATY IS RATIFIED
Overwhelming Majority in the Senate
for Panama Canal.
TROOPS WILL BE SENT TO ISTHMUS
Democratic Senators Were Almost Evenly
Divided on the Question, But Only Fourteen
Votes Were Cast In Oppositlon..The Closing
Debate"Work to Be Commenced Soon After
Commission Is Appointed.

Washington, ID. c., Special. BY the
decisive vote of 66 to l4the United States
Senate ratified the Panama Canal treaty.
All amendments were rejected. The
formal ratification will be exchanged i'm
mediately between the Governments of
the United States and the Republic of
Panama, represented by Secretary of
State Hay and Minister Buena- Varilla.
Thus an end is reached at last of the
seemingly iuterminable period Of delib-
Grafton and discussion in the United
States overthe construction Of an inter
oceanic canal. =" ,~
Now comes the era of actual work.
Within few days President Roosevelt
will announce the names of the members
of the Panama Canal Commission, al the
head OF which is to be Rear Admiral
Walker, U. S. N Qetired). Congress
Will speedily pass the necessary addi-
tionai legislation authorizing the pay
mcnt of the money to the Panama Re
public and making other provisions.
Within short time the energies of the
United States will be in motion TO start
the actual work of construction upon the
greatest engineering project and the
greatest correction OF natures topograph-
ical interference with commerce ever
known upon the face of the globe.
Epochal and, indeed, almost epical, as
was the moment of the ratification of the
treaty, the business passed off in the
Senate almost as if it were an every day
affair. There was no applause; there
were no sensational or dramatic Incl
dents. The voting was in secret session,
and, of course, there were no outside
spectators of the big event.
