FORMOSA NEWS.
Among the many cirefully 'wiliten and bighly Interesting articles published in the June
· number of The Sun, a Japanese monthly review of politics, selence, literature and ari, published in Toklo, there lu a very loteresting report on Formons from which we call the following items
Only one third of the whole island of Formosa can be suld to be at all elvilized, and of this third the six'ng, of 'ke paguletion li sa low that Industries have hat little heen developed. One of the first things to be attended to would be to encourage immigration, and to' suhaļdīze pro- ductive industries. Sugar, tea, rice and coal form the principal articles of export. In 1893 The amount of sugar exhorted to Japan amounted to 509, 920 law. The tea production is said to he very considerable, belag chiefly in the hands of the Chinese.
The Keling cost mine is worked on a small acels and is said not to have hitherto been pro. ftsble. In the hinds of the Japanese more carital will be invested In It, and it is bellovod that at better quality of coal will be taken from a lower stralum.
On account of the' customs and usages in Formoen helag not vet ascertained, the intended 'establishment of fadielal evarts will, for a time. be put off. Heavy criminal cisos will be tried by court martial, lighter cases will be disposed -ol by gendarmer while civil cases will be put Into the hands of the administrativa government. The two impending undertakings la Formosa lovolving great fature interest are the construction of the railroad between Temesl and the capital of Formore, and the ballding of a wharf at Tekno. Geographically speak. Ing, the alto of the capital could hardly ba excelled, being centrally located but rapid cur. rents and rough waves, coupled with the absence af good harbour, make it impossible for versals to stop along the coast. To develop the cam. mercial and Industrial inferets of the capital of Formosa the first thing to be done is to connect It with Tamsul with a rallrond of 700 rf. Of all the three ports, fe. Tamsul. Keelung and Takao, the only harbour where ble restels and men-of. war can enter it Takao. The condition of tide and shallowness of the water at Tamsul maka it extremely diffien't for ships of any size to enter there. As Takeo kus such a splendid location, if a proper wharf and breakwater be constructed It will be made a fine harbour.
Our people golog to Formosa are liable to caich a fever peculiar to the Island. The sudden change of climate which one going from this country experiences and the frightful filthiness of the streets and houses make the disease spread more rapidly. As soon as the island comes under our administration the necessary salatary mea *ares will be adopted at once.

The prospecta were said to be bad in the cotton, coal, fron, glass, lace, and holsery trades; moderate in shipping and shipbuilding; and good la, the woollen, engineering, building, and leather trade.

The common remark b, staten a correspondent, "that it is the most momentous event since the Abolition of Slavery, The law is not regarded as proserly an economic measure of taxation, but as Socialistic legislation designed by the poorer Western and Southern States to compel the richer and more prosperous Eastern States to bear more than a just share of the taxation. It was believed that, if sustained, the law would prove to be the first in a series of class legislation which would grow steadily more Socialistic in character,"
Sensation has been caused in political and official circles in the United States by the announcement of the decision of the Navy Department, by which Admiral Meade is com. pulsarily retired with a reprimand endorsed by President Cleveland. The Admiral was in com- mand of the Pacific Squadron, and while the dispute between Great Britain and Nicaragua was belog adjusted, he publicly expressed bis regret that inactivity was imposed upon him by the policy pursued from Washington, and that he was not suliberty to laterpora f ace to prevent the British blacjickets and marloes belog landed on Nicaraguan territory.
