JAP SAKE Is HELD
TO BE A STILL WINE.
Protests OF Importers for Lower
Duty OVerruled.

NEW YORK, Feb. at was held
yesterday by the board of general APP
pfaisers that sake imported in casks
will have to stand duty under the
American tariff by similitude to still
wine. The ruling was called forth by
an importation made by Ozaki 81 Co
and others, who objected to the action
of the government In eXacting a rate
of duty on the product.
The sake In question Is the Japanese
national beverage and contains over Ia
per cent. of absolute alcohol. 1t Is
claimed to be dutiable as an I'M
enumerated article under section 8, or
either directly or by similltude under
paragraph 297 providing for ale, porter
and beer" or under paragraph 2sS al
mate extract or fluid in casks" Judge
Waite states In his decision that he
is compelled to follow a lewiston of the
Supreme Couit of the United States
and hold the sake dutiable as assessed
as still wine.
