THE SAKE DUTY.

Hawaiian affairs continue to
cause great distress to the japan
Herald, an English paper of Yo-
kohsma, its latest issue received
frothing over the duties on i'm
ports of Japanese sake. 1t argues
against the view of it's local con-
temporary the Mail, which is that
''racial antipathy" is the cause of
''the illibersl attitude of the Ha-
waiisn authorities" The Herald
states, as the reasons for the ap-
parent change of feeling here
toward the japanese, that the
planters have found the japanese
not so cheap labor as was expect
ed--owing to their proneness to
holidays and inferior phys
ique to the Chinese-and that
the Government is alarmed
over the persistent demand
for voting rights on their be-
half and their overpowering |
number on the islands. These
reasons are correctly enough given,
but they have no relation what
ever to the duties on japanese
liquors. 1t has been found that
the native Hawaiians we're taking
considerably to the cheap sake,
which to them was less "compara-
lively harmless" than the Herald |
states it is with the Japanese
because they were not used to it
and this, too, when the natives
had made fair start in exchang-
ing their old favorite of sand
paper gin" for the grape wines of
California. The changing again
to the Japanese liquors - some
of which taken boiled
after the Japanese mode prov
ed to have extremely delete
'ious effects on the natives =
vas deemed to be much for the
worse. Besides these local reasons,
which perhaps might not have in
luced change in the tariff, an
'ngry cry arose from the Califor-
ia wine growers. They urged
hat it was poor return for the
rec admission of Hawaiian sugar
nto the American market, to
ave Hawaii allow the vineyard

Carson, March 17.-Aftsr two
years of do bt and ycxatious post
Ponemcnt, the heavyweight cham
plonship of the world was decided
beyond cavil, when Robert Fitz-
simmons sent James j Corbett
helpless to his knees, with left
hand blow under the heart, after
onc minute and 45 seconds, in the
fourteenth round of their battle
IN the arena here this afternoon.

muscles brought into play, the
Australian fairly ripped the blow
np the pit of Corbett's stomach,
at point just below the heart.
Corbett was lifted clean off his
feet, and as he pitched forward,
Fitz shot his right up and around,
catching Jim on the jaw and ac-
celebrating his downward fall.
Corbett sand on his left knee, and
with his outstrctched right grasp
ed the rope for support. His left
arm worked cQnvulsively up and
down, while his face was twitching
with an expression of the greatest
agony. Referee Siler threw up
his hands on the call of ten, and
left the ring. There were some
cries of "foul," when the referee
declared Corbett out, BIZ, they

He waved little flag over his
head and stepped lightly down the

Mrs Fitz kissed her husbands
face, taking no notice of the blood
which was trinkling freely from
his nose and mouth. Martin Ju

dressing room, followed by Fitz,
with Mrs Fitz at his side, the
crowd cheering the victor heartily.

probably because Fitz had his
shoulders up high. Jim's ONLY
effort in the way of a parting shot
was a full right upper-cut, which
he brought around very clumsilv
and failed to land by foot, every
time he tried. He did get in one
good upper-cut in the fourth
round, splitting Bob's under lip,
and starting the blood in thick
stream. Several times the men
clinched and parted with both
hands up. Frequently Bob work
ed Jim into corner and reached
for him right and left with blows
that would win any championship
battle had they landed. Fitz him
