LAPS WANT STILLS.

Louisville, Ky, April 15.-Japanese agents are negotiating with American distillers for the purchase of ma chinery in their plants after prohi- bition becomes effective. The ma chinery would be shipped to Japan for use in distiIlation of whiskey there, according to Y. Kawahara, agent for a Japanese-American i'm porting concern.
 A bill before the Japanese Diet would prohibit use of rice in she manufacture of sake. the Japanese drink.

try for the greater task of national government later on.'
 The Sim Fein leaders have not ex- plained how they propose to operate local government bodies apart from the control of the British govern lnent The local bodies have the power to levy and spend very large sums in local matters. But the whole system is subject to the code of the British law, and every local body is under the jurisdiction of the Irish Local Government Board which Is . body appointed by Dublin Castle, whose assent and authority is re Quired to everything.
 Their opponents say that if the Sim Feine-s work under the Local Government Board as is unlikely. they will be making themselves a branch of the existing Irish admins tration. If they do not, it is claimed. they cannot legally work at all.
 The Sim Teiners have decided to use the local bodies in which they obtain control as a means for the spread of the Irish language. In the recent Parlia mentary elections an at- tempt was made to elect as Candi- dates only men capable of conducting public business in the Irish language. So far as possible the principle will be applied to the coming local cleo tions although there will hc several thousands of nominees.
