About two weeks or ten days | Ago it was currently reported that the Governor had sent down orders for the abolition of his stations in the city and port of Ifoo, as also those Takow, directing, however, that they should be re-established at points at least 10 # away from both divisions of the port.
as to foreign rights, I may mention that only the other day a foreign firm wanted to send some kerosene oil to Takow from Anping the Consul directed the shippers to fe form the likia officers that the all was foreign-owned. The reply to this was that “it must pay likin," On the no likin could be charged on it, but said that the Consul writing to the Taotal the latter admitted abippers must get a Customs (re-export) certi ficate, and that the cargo must be examined before shipment and again on landing. In fact he wanted it treated as if it were really a re-export to another, and separate port in Chios. For form's sake the Customs were applied to and naturally replied that being an import on which duty had already been paid and not a re-export "they had no concern with it." The Consul then directed the merchant to ship, and the likin people took no active notice of the affair. The Taolal, however, insisted on having the inst word, reiterating, even after beating the Customs decision, his former assertion. Can anything better be advanced to show how accurately Shao gauged the official intelligence of those who were holding effice in Formosa ?
At this the general satisfaction was gebounded, for, quite apart from the evil effect on foreign interests, native trades and occupations have been barassed and opressed 10 so great an extent that the people were getting desperate. I have on several occasions told you how, in order to Avold the rule which says that import #ikin shall not be levied, all pretexts have been tried to bring into the export category as many articles as possible.
