Loaf Tobacco Freed of Tax. A compromise bill removing: all in ternal revenue tax from leaf tobacco was agreed upon for a favorable re port by the House .vaj's aud means committee. At present internal rev enue laws im]H>se a tax on le?f to bacco in case the producer places it in the hands of an agent for sale, but permits the grower personally to sell his own tobacco without lax. Under the measure agreed upon, the sale of leaf tobacco will be as unrestricted as the sale of any other product. Tobac co growers endeavored to have the bill extend exemption fro mtax to twist tobacco but the committee would not include anything in tho measure but the natural leaf. Subsidy Bill in Senate. - The Senate cast its linal ballot on ?the subsidy shipping bill, which was passed by a vote of 3S to 27. All the votes for the bill were by Repub lican Seuators, and live Republican Senators voted with the Democrats it opposition. They were Messrs. Buck et t, Dolliver, La Follettc, Sooner ano Warner. The vote on the bill was preeceded by action upon a number of amend ments, and by an entire day of de bate. Many im|>ortant amendments were accepted, but in only one cast was a modification agreed to that wat ia acordaucc with the wishes of the managers of the bill. The exeeptior was on an amendment otfeied by Mr Spooncr elminating the provision? giving half-pay to members of the Na val Reserve who have served less thai) six mouth*. FEATURES OF THE MEASURE. As passed, the bill establishes thir teen new contract mail lines and in creases the subvention to the occank liijes mining from the Pacific coast to Australasia. Of the thirteen new lines, three leave Atlantic coast portSj oio running to Brazil, one to Uru guay and Argentina, and one to South Africa; six from ]x>rts on the Gulf of Mexioo, embralnng one to Brazil, one to Cuba, one to Mexico and three to Central America and the Isthmus of 1-unama; four from Pacific coast pmts. embracing tiro to Japan, China and the Philippines direct, one to Ja pan, Chiua and the Philippines, via Hawaii and one to Mexico, Central America and the Isthmus of Panama. The bill also grants a subvention at the rate of .f,> per gross ton per yeai to cargo vessels ongaged in the for eign trade of the United States and at the rale of $0.50 per ton to ves sels cngnde in the Philippine trade. The Philippine coastwise law being postponed until 1909. Another fea turo of the bill is that creating a Na val Reserve force of 10,000 officers end men, who are to reecive retainers after tho British practice. Vessels receiving subsidies aro required to carry a certain proportion of Naval Reserve men among their crews. The aggregate compensation for mail lines is about $.'{,000, 000 annually. No steam vessel of less than 1,000 tons ij to receive aid under the bill. Busy Day in tho House. The "morning hour" preva" led in the House Thursday until after /) o'clock. The result was the passage of a hill to increase to $30,000 a year the Federal appropriation to each State and ferritory for the support of agricultural experiment stations and ot a bill repealing the present law granting American register to foreign ships wrecked and ropaired on the American coast in tho dis cretion of the fcecretary of the De partment of Comercn and Lnbor, and requiring a special not of Congress to grant such register. Tho featuro of tbo day was the at t< nipt. of Mr. Payne, chairmau of the v-ays rind means committee, to get up his bill for the consolidation of cus toms collection districts. A furious opposition developed and on a roll call a lurge majority voted against considering the bill. Again, when the experiment station bill came up, the debate reverted to the Payne bill and if was with dilliculty that* it could be brought to an end. Mr. Payne, speak ing on his bill, said it cost last year ?1,400 to collect no revenue at Beau tort. N. C. : at Albemarle, N. C\, it cost- $1 ,00t> to collect There were fifty-one non-paying ports on the list which Mr. Pavue read from. Tho total collected in these ports was $17,242 and the expense of maintain ing the ports was $1 *>G,18o. Mr. I homes, oi North Carolina, de veloped an argument against tbe con solidation of jKM'ts, Tne measure, he declared, was not one of ecouomv. Jf dl the ports referred to by the coip ii'ittee were abol??hed, be niid, but #109,000 a year would be saved aud rrorc than thn would be lost by rea son of smuggling, wh;cli, he maintain ed, was carried on in the abandoned ports. Besides, there were many oth er duties discharged by custom ofTl c?rs besides collecting revenue. Mr. Blackburn, of North Carolina, also spoke against the Payne bill. An idirect compliment was paid to ? IxMigworth by a vote to adjourn until Monday, although nothing will appear hi The Rocord of this pur pose. Overman Gets Appropriation. S* rat oi Overman did a splendid piece of work on Thursday. He in duced the Senate to pass its bill ap propriating $75,000 for the erection ?>f a public building at Salisbury and a few moments later secured the pas sage of a bill appropriating $15,000 tor buildimr the long pro|K>sed mili tary road from Salisbury to the Nat ional Cemetery. The Senate has come to view with disfavor bills appropri? nting money for such purposes, and it was only after a brush with Sen ators Kean and Teller that he ob tained favorable action.
