Tobacco growers Of the south who
are anxious to have the tariff either
left alone or hoisted were given their

great deal of interesting information
about the production of the weed. Dur

that in the old days the Florida far

cents a pound and make a fair profit.
Since then. he added. they had acquir-

do you think it fair to tax the
people of the United States to let
those tobacco raisers live like nabobs?"
demanded Clark.
"Oh, my God. if you saw how we
all live" exclaimed Mr.. Monroe. you
would never call nabobs. We are sim

The same was said of them yesterday

OF CHINA'S RULER
Emperor Kuane HSu Said to
Have Passed Away This
Afternoon

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON. Nov. i3-A cable
gram received here to-day announces the
death at Pekin OF kuang Hsu, the Chi
nese Emperor.
PEKIN. Nov. 13.-Emperor Kuang
Hsu was removed to the death chamber
in the Imperial palace at o'clock this
afternoon and his death occurred two
hours later.
Prince Chun. brother OF the Emperor,
was made regent of the Empire and his
son, Pu Weiv heir presumptive, accord
ing to two imperial odicts issued after
the announcement of the death OF the
Emperor.
The edicts are construed as conhrma-
ton of the report Of tho death Of kuang
Hsu, though a high official of the pal-
ace declared at 430 that the Emperor
was still alive.
Kuang lIsu was born August ?. 1877,
and succeeded to the throne of China on
January -, 1875. on the death OF his
cousin Tung Chih. He came Of age and
assumed nominal charge Of the govern
ment in March. 1881. From the date OF
his marriage in 1889 until September
1895. he was to considerable extend the
real and not merely the nominal ruler
of the Empire. but owing to his erratic
tendencies, the Empress Dowager re-
sumed power in that month, and has
held it practically ever since.
