We learn from the Debris that M. Rousseau, Governor-General of Indo-China, has taken. the opportunity of his presense is Paris in con- nootion with the lean to go into several quod- tions interesting to the economic develop- mans of Toulan. Amongst other matter he has urged upon the Colonial Minister the doors eity of a reform in the mining, regulations at premet in force in the Indo-Chinese possessions, The mining wealth of Annam and Tonkin, says the writer, is doubted by ao one. Its wxistance is attested not only by the reports of engineers sent on offcial missions, but by the sign- ficant fact that on Jan.-1, 1894, so000 266 requests for mining ecmosssions, emanating. for the most part from colonists established in Tonkin, had been addressed to the local advainistration. How is it then, that the number of mine aetaslly, being worked in redwood to two-those of Hangay and Kubad The reason aust be soight in the dracoin regulations of the doorce of Nov, 16, 1888. The authors of thats regulatione did not under- stand that in a new country like Tonkin, whare the selection and working of mines are pari-ON cularly difficult and costly, the mining industry On dewand required to be enecuraged by the most liberal regulations According to the doorse of 1898 the extant of the conccasions which could be granted was limited to a superficial area - eufficient to remunerate the capital employed. In consequence of this limitation, those who discovered a mive often found that they bad worked for people who had segnired land in

plaint is often heard that Franch capitaliste altow great timidity in entarking their monny in colonial enterprises. How should it be thor wise, when everything is done to discourage and alienate them? M. Rousseau, the writer adds, is animated by quito another spirit, and

In no quarter of the globo da more interest ing and intricate problems of international law present themselves than in the Far East. Con- xider, for example, the use of Formosa Evi- dently when Forocsa was incorporated in the dominions of Japan by right of conquest, for. eigners consed to bave any title to resile and trade there under the provisions of treaties he tween Chinand Wastero Powers. Such treaties lost all operatire value ao soon as Formos, passing out of China's possession, no kng formed part of the empire within which alons the treaties word originally designed to baro Force. On the other hand, it will to assumed at first sight that, so soon as the island was ja eprporated in the dominions of Japan, it caras within the scope of the commercial fronties be. tween Japan and Western Powers. That would undoubtedly be true wars, the treaties applic able to the Japanese empire in general. Bat- they are not thus applicable. Their applica tion is limited to curtain designated place the treaty ports--and, coomugantly, to assert that Formoss, merely by becoming a dominion of Japan's, fails, de facto, within the parview of the treaties is an obvious misapprehension. It does not fall within the purview of the treaties any more than Shikoka, or the Bonin Islands do, where no open ports exist. In short, to -render Formosa asossible to foreign trade and residence special nogotiations would be necer- sary, unlers Japan herself took the solicited initiative of declaring the island accessibl She has taken that initiative: she has intimated officially that Tamsui, Kalung, Anghig and Talsu shall be honceforth open for purposes of foreign commerce, and that the provisions of har commercial wreatics with Western Powork shall be, as far as possible, extended to those places.
