Little War News in Japan.

1t appears that if the Japanese
want to have the news of the war
they will have to subscribe to the
American papers. A Toxic CORE
spondent of the Chicago News
sends extracts from the current
Japanese papers showing that ap-
parently everything under the sun
is being discussed these days ex-
cept the war news. The Convent
Life of Mrs. Maybrick." Forrnosa
Under the Dutch" The Strange
Mystery of Millionaire's VIII are
some of tie subjects learnedly and
exharstively treated. But the war
news consists solely of a column
or two of comment, written in an
editorial vein, for the most part
discussing some article that has APP
peared in a French or German pa
per; or most frequently reviewing
at great length "a review in an Eng
lish paper on a paper issued by the
Russian government charging Ja-
pan with a breach of the laws of
nations by commencing hostilities

With the completion of the new Jail
one of the most serious problems which
has been confronting the authorities
will have been settled The Jail. an in
stitution designed originally for the
County of Oahu, will be ready for &C.
cupancy within six weeks, and the diff
ficulties High Sheriff Brown has been
experiencing in housing an excess of
prisoners will be settled as will the
serious questions raised by Judge
Gears famous infamous imprisOn-
ment" decision.
Supt. Holloway expects the new Jail
to be completed within about six weeks
and additional room will then be avail
able for two hundred extra prisoners,
many of those now in Oahu Prison be-
ing crowded two and three in a cell.
Only the prisoners convicted of mis-
demeanor will be confined in the new
Jail and they will be kept separated
from the long term convicts. This will
conform with the decision of Judge
Gear in which he held that prisoners
confined in Oahu Prison We're treated
as men convicted of an infamous
