Washington, July).-The Japanese gov
eminent has accepid the offer made by
Hawaii to arbitratt the dispute between
the TWO countries. Che state department
has been informedof the offer and the
acceptance The subjects for arbitrations
will include, not oily the difficulty over
the landing of the japanese immigrants,
but also will includ other disagreements
between the two countries the most i'm
portant of which is ne sake tax, imposed
upon a japanese Igor largely imported
and consumed by theJapanese in Hawaii.
The acceptance of he offer of arbitra-
ton, a brief synopsis of which has been
cabled to the Japanese minister here, and
given the state department, states that
the japanese governnrnt accepts arbitra-
ton in principle and 5 prepared to enter
upon the terms for settlement of the
pending disputes
The formal letter of acceptance has
been sent to Hawaii md the conditions of
arbitration will be contained therein.
Those conditions are not known here.

The sake tax, If which the Japanese
complain, is an Increase of the duty on
this liquor from Is cents to 81 per gallon.
The tax was passed by the Hawaiian leg
islature, and veoed by President Dole on
the ground that it was unconstitutional
and in violation of the treaty with Japan,
who had rights under the most favored
nation clause. The tax was passed over
his veto, almost unanimously, only one
vote being cast to sustain the. president

liquor almost wholly to the exclusion of
other beverages
1t is not believed the state department
will make a formal acknowledgement of
the latest communication from Japan re-
Outstanding being that all future negotia-
tons will be conducted by Minister Buck
and the Japanese foreign Office at Toxic.
When the officials of the state depart
ment We're informed of the offer and ac-
ceptance of the arbitration the secretary
OF the japanese legation here was inform
ed that until the annexation treaty was
concluded the United States would not
assume any authority in the matter and
that the present dispute must be consid-
cred between Japan and Hawaii. The sec
rotary, in reply, said that he was glad to
learn that such was the position of the
United States, as it would permit of ia
pans sending two or three warships to
Hawaii pending final action on the arbi-
Jration treaty This Interpretation of the
situation rather surprised the state depart
ment officials, who answered that the
United States would consider In different
light the agreement of arbitration and
sending of warships, and intimated that
non-lnterference by the United States in
the case could not be construed as a
passive acceptance of the latter position.

Howard Escaped.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 13.-Rev.
G. F. B. Howard has escaped from
the Ohio penitentiary. He was a
most famous United States prisoner
from Tennessee. He was trusted
in the front office and walked away.
Howard was convicted at Jackson,
Tenn, and sentenced for nine years
and fined 200 on twenty-five
counts for using United States mails
for fraudulent purposes. His spe-
cialty was swindling alleged heirs
to fabulous fortunes in England.
One of the chief witnesses against
him was Robert Lincoln, ex-minis-
ter to England. Howard has many
aliases, and has imposed upon some
of the best known families of the
South, getting into the ministry,
law and medicine. He is an Eng
lishman, As years of age, and was
convicted as George Frederick Bur-
goyne Howard.
Rev. G. F. B. Howard, it will be
remembered, was the man who fig
ured so extensively in several SEN
sational trials at Jackson, in this
State, few years ago, by which he
gained a great amount OF newspaper
notoriety throughout the country.
The charge of using the United
States mails for fraudulent
purposes was brought against
the minister, who, up to that time,
had stood well in the community
and had strong friends, many OF
whom sided with him in his trouble
Hon. Ernest L. Bullock was one OF
the prosecuting attorneys and by a

Queen VictOria's Cigar
Bill.

1t is we'll known that the Queen
has a great dislike of smoke, so
much so that she does not allow
smoking in her immediate neigh
borhood. And yet the cigar bill
for her guests is very heavy one.
The principal item is the thousands
of the finest Havana cigars, which
are specially made for her, and sent
to Windsor in glass tubes hermet-
ically sealed.
According to the Psychological
Magazine, Queen Victorla's cigars
could not be had even in Cuba at
wholesale prices under 81 apiece.
The men who make them receive
thirty cents for each cigar, and none
but the oldest and most skillful
workmen are intrusted with theiI
manufacture. At this rate they car
earn quite a small fortune, for zoe
cigars a day can be turned out by
