Truraeioi una Washington, March 13. Special Tba extra session of the Senate baa ad journed without giving Teddy a ehanee to show bis atrenuonsnesa. If tba clo ture resolution bad been discussed at length, ba might bava taken some step to prove that in tba Yioa Presidency ha would not bo as unless as the fifth 'wheel of a wagon, but the desire of the Senators to get home and attend to private business deprived him of thia opportunity until next session. - Mr. Roosevelt, however, made a num ber of eomioal errors as presiding officer error whicbshowed conclusively that his lion hunting exploits in the 'Wast bad left him no time to study np on the rules of the Senate. Ha bad, of course, a prompter, in tho person of the clerk, who is an expert parliamen tarian and accustomed to repeat the proper words to be said to tba presiding officer in ease he is ignorant of them. Bnt Mr. Roosevelt is entirely too self centered a man to follow the diet of a mere clerk and therefore got mora or leas tangled np. Ha need not really have had any feeling in thia respect, for the most accomplished and expe rienced presiding officers of tba two bouses of Congress have) never dis dained to receive assistance from tho l.lr. wltn M at ti n . Sntn naliMfnki. tary tangle. Those who know tba energy and the pride and the ambition' which animate the Vice-President have no doubt be will "study np" in the long reeeas and when December eemee ha will bo much better fitted to tackle the dutiee of the ehair and will realise it ia quite the thing to lean on the clerks now and then. : To tho inexperienced observer it does not seem any very great matter to sit in tho ehair of a legislative body, and, as ha been so often aaid, "put questions." Bnt there is a vast differ ence between a fine and a poor presid ing officer. It ia the difference between smooth and ill-running machinery. None of the mistakes made by Mr. Roosevelt last week was serious, Tbey were only snob as make Senators laugh, but if tbe Senate bad gotten into on of its parliamentary laby rinths, with exeitement and political animosities raging, tbe now Vice Pres ident would most likely bav fonnd himself tied np in a pretty bard knot before he knew it. . ' It I amasing how some men dis appoint expectations aa presidios; offi cers. The late Vice-President Wilson, for instance, had been for many years a Senator on the floor and a most ae tiva and eonstadt participant in the debates. It might reasonably be sup posed b was a splendid parliamenta rian. Yet b failed pitiably in tba chair of the Senate, and it was a poai live relief both to him and to tba San- ate when he left the chair and put some one els in it On the other band, all - tb experience Mr. Stevenson had was as an o been re member of tb House for term or two. Bnt in his four vears in enmbsncy of tba chair ia the Senate he never made a mistake, as waa attested unanimously by Itepabliean and Dem ooratis Senators. ' By tba adjournment of tba Delaware . Legislature without electing a Senator either for tbe short or long term, that Bute deprive itself of all representa tion In the upper Honseof Congress. Tba intention of the Governor to ap point Addicks and Hicorine will not alter tbe situation, for according to tba priooipl established iq tbe Qisy ease, - when the Legislature onoa baa a chance to elect and fails to do so an appoint ment ny me uovernor will not be reoog- ' The Senate now starts out with three aotual vacancies two from Delaware and one from Nebraska. Seoator All n, of Nebraska, still holds by virtue of his appointment, which came to him upon the death of Seoator Hav ward, but it tbe Nebraska Legislature also ad journs without a decisive ballot Allen's eat will be vacant, too, and two States win D deprived ot representation in the tfanata. It is a curious fast that all four of time nnwiDg faon&tors would naturally be Republicans and the vacanoies would be filled by Republican Govern ore in each State if tbe failareof the legislature to elect did not prevent an appointment. ' Addicks, bowever, will certainly try again, and will be backed bv all the Sower of Senator Qanna and President IcKinley. They and many other Re publican leaders wera strong in their opinion that rather tban give the Dem ocrats another ohane it would be best for Do Pont to compromise and aecept the offer ot tbe Addicks side that the two should be sentto tbe Senate. They at mnch cbsgrined and disappointed, and make no secret ot their resentment against Du Pont CM. lm urmunje history or tobacco. The Baltimore Sun gives the sub joined interesting history ot tobacco. Tba "Virginia" ot which Ralph Line waa Governor, referred to in tb article, 1 now North Carolina. Says tba San: . ' The French Government last week appropriated funds for the erection of a handsome statue in bronie ot Jean Nioot, whose name is immortalised in connection with tobacco. The atatne is to be ereoted la front of the principal Government tobacco factory in Paris and will no doubt revive the old con troversy between tho lovers and hater ot the weed, whieh baa been earsied on aver sine Europeans, as the result of tho discovery ot America, wer intra dneed to tb pleasure sndperils of tb pipe. The us ot tobacco ia now so universal among guropeaa people ana neonle of European origin that it saareely seems possible that piior to 1586 no Eoropen bad ever need tobaeeo. riieot, it is quit certain, did sot intro duce it into Enron, and hi claim to be regarded as the originator of either tho cultivation or tb smoking of tobacco in Europe rests upon very weak foundations. The tobacco plant itself waa first brought to the continent ot Europe ia 1588 by Francisco Fernandas, who had been cent by fbuip 11 ot Bpain to in vestigate the prod nets ot Mexico. From Spain some seeds of tbe plant war sent to Portugal, aad Jean Moot, whs was tb French Ambassador to the latter country at tba time, secured soma of them and sent them to tbe French Queen Catherine do Medici. Nicot meu study ot the plant and was instrumental in spreading a knowl edge ot ita qualities and the mothada ot lis cultivation. All tobacco plants, of which there are about fifty varieties, ar grooved by eeieatisU under the nam of Xieoliana, and is the analyse mad by ice Freneh state tobaeeo fac tories tb distinctive element in tobaeeo was siven the nsm of nicotine. This term having been universally adopted, Nicofs fame is seenra for oil time to some, though in fast tobaeeo smoking would hav been just as universal to day if ha had never lived. Tbe habit ot smoking was initiated in Cr gland by Ralph Laae, tho first Governor of Virginia rtoasoks Island, fiortn laro- Una and tb adjacent seieoaat, and Sir Francis Drake, who ear tied with them to England in 15S6 the implements and materials of tobacco smoking, whieh they presented to Sir Walter Raleieh. . Uovernor Lan u believed to have been the first Eaglish- sssn to smoke and KaJeigh the second. It is recorded of tho latter that "he tooko a pipe of tobaeeo a little before ho went to th seaffolde.9 Th cour tiers of Qaeea EUsibeth eanght the habit from Raleigh, and within fifty years smoking had become general in England and ail over .nrope. The cultivation of tobaeeo ia esrried on only is eonntrios that lie within th tropical or temperate zones. It flonr ishe in very dissimilar climates, but it thrives, best in regions where the mean temperature ia not lees tbaa 40 Fahr. and where there sis ao early autumn frosts. Tbs finest qualities are pro dueed only is tropieat lands with com parative! r dry climate. A3 the species of Xkotiana except two are of Americas origin. Botanists divide them into two group, on of' which is characterized by an elongated corolla tube, red in color, tho plaots-whereof grow to s height of from five to seven feet, th stalks having no branches j while the other has a swollen eoroils tube of a greenish yellow ecbr and a "stalk with msny branches whieh grows to a height of from two to not over five feet Of tbe first group oar Virginia tobaeeo ia tba leading type, and of the second the familiar type is the green tobaeeo of Brazil and tbe East Indies. These two species of tobaeeo, of which there are many varieties, and to Persian tobaeeo are th only raw mate rial of th tobaccos ia common nss. Ia nearly all European countries to baeeo i cultivated and manufactured aadsr Stats sapervisioa sad as a lead ing source of pnblie revenue. It it a State monopoly in F rases. Austria- Hungary, Italy aad Spaia, and is other countries it w subject to State reguia lioa and heavy excise duties. It is a eorioos fact that in England tbe culti vation of tobaeeo as crop is prohib ited by a tax ao high on every acre sown with tobacco seed that noKog liabmaa sonld afford to grow it except, as Mr. Joseph Chamberlain grows or eh ids. as a expensive fad. Th origin of this prohibition is still more eorioof. (t originated in th reign of Chailes IL when Parlisment passed a law forbid ding the growth of tobaeeo in England tor tbs express purpose of encouraging trade with tbs now colony of Virginia. Nowadays, when the height of states manship is supposed to be reached by passing tariff laws intended to kill tbs industries of other nations with whom wo trade, it seems almost beyond belief tbst in tbs unenlightened ege of Charles IL tbey should yet hav bad sens suougb to see that if tbey wer to build np trad with Virginia tbey must needs give Virginia a ebanee to produce some- thlng to trsds with. . .;,,,: Tb production of tobaeeo in tbs United States is sow about 725.000,000 pounds sonsally. ot which about one- half la eonsnmedj by our own people and one-half exported. . Bom idea of tb rapid increase alike in th world's production snd consumption of to baeeo is gathered fror- tbe fact that lb production of tb United State alone has been almost doubled sine 1870. Tbs consumption in all aoun trie of which w have any statistics has steadily increased. Oar British cousins srs not so devoted to tbs weed at ourselves. Tobaeeo chewing is el- most unknown among thtm, and as .smokers tbeyaro comparatively mod srate. Nevertheless tbe. Unions are now consuming about 32 ounces of to baeeo per capita annually, which is last about dowtrie tb per capita at- lowanoeof the Britons ot 1800. The yearly consumption of the weed in this country is now nearly seventy six ounces per capita. With Spain ont cf Cuba, whose to bacco furnishea tb finest quality of cigars in the world, snd our flag over tba Philippines, the home of tbe eele brated Manila cheroots and cigars, tb United States would seem to bare com mercial control of all tbe best tobacco, growing soils in world. Up to tba present time, however, possibly b cans th Cubans and Filipino bav been too much absorbed in arguing with us about their future to give at tention to their tobacco crops, oar sup. ply ot Havanas and Manilaa seems to be poorer ia quality and higher in prie than ever betore. When they get once more npon s firm peace footing ws may expect to find our niootins temptations greatly increased. RALEIGH LETTER. Presi Oar Rsgilsr Comseeassat. Raliigh, N. C, March: 11. 1901.
