Especial to The Advertiser3

AA/AsHINGToN, D. C., Feb. TO-
w There is something of a respite
just now over Cuban reciproc-
ity agitation. However. since my last
letter there has been some red hot
politics in the House. growing out of
tariff questions and incidentally affect
ing the sugar question.
Vigorous protestations were made by
of the Ways and Means Committee,
that there was no intention of side
tracking Cuban reciprocity, when the
war revenue reduction bill was placed
in front of it. The beet sugar men,
nevertheless, were claiming and with
complete assurance, that that was the
significance of the move. There can
be no doubt that both the beet sugar
men and the high tariff men in the
Ways and Means Committee and in
the House, made the move for no other
purpose than to shelve Cuban reciproc-
ity. Thereupon President Roosevelt be-
gan to play his hand, and he has
brought the Ways and Means mem
bers and Speaker Henderson to their
knees. 1t is now pretty safe to predict
that a Cuban reciprocity scheme, prob
ably of 20 per cent in duty, will be re-
ported out of the Ways and Means
Committee, before many weeks have
gone by. If the President plays his
hand steadily he will win, but there
will be stormy times in both Senate
and. House before the game is con-
cluded.
During the past week some new
plans have been advanced, two of
which are noteworthy. One is by Rep
NewIands, of New, who
that reciprocity be granted
FOR the year 1903, coupled with an invi-
ation to the Cubans to enter the Unit
I'd States as Territory and a prospec-
i've state Mr.. Newlands was the au

| WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 12--The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Mr.
]. w. Yerkes, has written a letter to
Mr. Roy H. Chamberlain, collector of
internal revenue in Honolulu, in which
he holds that the fermented beverage
produced from rice, and known as sake,
is regarded as a fermented liquor under
the internal revenue laws. The letter
reads as follows:
Treasury Department,
Office of Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue,
Washington, D. c., Feb. 1. 1902.
Sir; Inclosed with your letter of the
18th ultimo is a communication address,
ed to you on the 14th by MIR. Thomas
Fitch, an attorney representing certain
persons who are desirous of engag nS
in manufacture of sake, Japanese fer
mented liquor made from rice, which
has been classified as dutiable, when inn
ported, at the rate provided for still
wine
In reply to your request for instruc-
tions to how the manufacture and
sale of this article is to be regarded un-
der the internal revenue laws, you are
informed that while this fermented bev-
erage is not produced from malt it is
produced from a substitute for malt and

uor' to beer, lager beer, ale, and porter,
under the provisions of section 1888, Re
vised States as amended. Persons en-
gaging in it's manufacture will lbe requir-
ed TO qualify as brewers and comply
with the law and regulations governing
brewers, including payment of tax on
their product at SLIGO per barrel. Sales
of the article can lawfully be made only
by persons duly qualified for the sale of
fermented liquors.
Respectfully,
J. w YERKES,
Commissioner.
