The capital that this syndicate commands and is prepared to invest in industrial and other undertakings in Japan makes the risit one of the most important commercial events since the close of the war, and providing that prezent and future negotiations with the Japanese authori tins go smoothly the industry of the country in several branches will receive great impetus,

current are too well known to need any further reference here. Government has been provent. ed by the war and other considerations from embarking on the undertaking of improving the anchorage of the port, but is now considering the subject afresh, in connection with the policy of improving all harbour where hossary.
The French syndicate is concerning itself solely with providing docking facilities at Moji, and theso once obtained the improvement
of the amoborage is reduced in importance, as vessels would not then find it necessary to anchor in the straits. The plan under consideration is to buikt the dock's some short distance from the present kasinots or maritime _centre_of_the_port_round_a_bend_of_the_coast, where vessels ontoring would cape the current, which, as is well known, is so strong that large vessels do not stop at Moji, greatly militating against Moji's development both in coal exporting and in general trade. The rench scheme would remova the town in a measure, but would greatly benefit the port, and some such improvement is absolute to justify its pressity if Moj is ever fine situation as one of the great maritime geleways of Japar. It is the nearest port to Kares and the most convenient to vessels bound for North Chins. Hence, with proper harbour or docking facilities the large percentage of veinels Dow passing through, including all lisers, would stay to coal and trade to the immensa advantage of the port. A few years ago a foreign and Japanese syndicate was con "cerced in a drydock scheme for Moji, bat for some reason or other this fell through. The plans of the French #yndicate seem more practical, aiming as they do at the direct bene at of the port and there is therefore all the more likelihood of their success,
