merchant largely interested in South Formoss, from whom the following Information was gleaned. The first point touched upon was the explanations in the Japan Mall, which brought forth the fallowing account of the history of the trade before and after the Japanese occupation:-
י
CAMPHOR, AND THE JAPANESE. When the camphor trade was Brat opened up in South. Formare, in 1889 and 1890, the forests were in the territory occupied by the savages, and consequently not under the control of the Chiacas Anthorities. The merchants, all but ane of whom were British, Had to begin operations by buying the savages eff, with presents and money, so that their employees might work in thele districts. This In some cases cost as high as $30,000 before a vilil could bs erected. When, after these preliminaries, camphor was pro-faced, the only thing required by the Chinese officials was that we should take out transit passes, through the Consul, to cover car camphor whilst being conveyed to the seaports. Later on the Chloess Authorities imposed a lax, which was farmed out, and a duty of $8 per nient was collented at the sills by the farmer. Wo were not required to have any licence or title deeds for the simple reason that the authorities were not in a position to grant any. We had practically purchased the land from the savages over whom the Chinese had no sway, So, It happened that during the troubles resulting in Formers being turned over to Japan our business was in no way interfered with When the Japanese assumed charge the Governor- General, by proclamation, notified that all exlating rights would be respected, and for a time our trade in camphor went on ns. before. During January and early in February, however, we were informed by our Chiness employers that notices were posted, up, in Chinese, stating that licences were required, bat open making inquiries of the British Consul we, were informed that he had no such notice and that we could continue with our work until he was notified. About the 28th February our representa tires were tald by the Japanese officials'that it was necessary for us to send to the list of our districts, stills, number of workmen employed, amount complied with through the Contul, who, however, advanced and sandel profit, which request was bad received no such notification. On the 23rd production of camphor was stopped by the February, without the slightest notice, the entire Japanese, and dur stills (kuns) were allowed to cool. When wa'received word of this from DAY Chipchip agent by telegram, we protested
continued to hold that no one. in South The Japanese Governor answered then, and has Formota had any right to manufacture camphor," and that he would recognise so British claims in South Formosa." This Is the attitude now maintained by the Japanere authorities on the island. Shortly after the promulgation of this decree several of the com, pradores, sil in British employ, were arrested on charges of breaking the regulations relating to camphor, and ball was absolutely refused them, though the British Consul applied for li personally. They were kept under arrest for | neveral days, and then relesed on paying a fine of $300 each, without even the form to receive any explanation of the charge on they were arrested. Early this month the camphor regulations lately pablished in the Telegraph were issued, and it appears that, after
# getting files from the Japanese to our own lands, bought dearly sad sometimes at the cost of human life, if they will grant it, we can, upon paying the various license fees, recommence operations. But in addition to the tax of $10 per pical, the license lees will be very great drag on the trade. About the middle of this month"

It is a notorious fact that Mr. H. Kopuch was appointed Postal Commissioner in 1885. This gentleman was last your at Nanking and discussed the whole matter with Chung Chib-tung.

Your Excellency, ladies ́and". gentlemen ; t-day I have the honour of laying belase vou the report of the Victoris English Schools for the year endfor 31 December 1895. In the early part of the year the prospects, al sugood report were anything but encouraging awing to the amount of sickness in the Colony, but as time went on circumstances improved and the freilles for doing good work is created. The zumber of peplis enrolled during the year was 219, iz—152 boys and by girls. The average attendance for the year was, as nearly as possible 134, which I find by comparison is slightly above the average for 1893, but there is a marked difference to the nationality of the children. The number of English children is gradually increasing while the Chinese are decreasing in a coresponding ratfo. The school is steadily asserting its character us English school. At the annual examinato in Decem her 99 popila were presented—the others not baving made the requisite number of atten dance and the piss over sil was pi per cent, The ghis as usual led the way with 100, per cent, in all the ordinary subjects. In the Boys' School the papers in Arithmetic were excep tionally difficult and as a consequence a greater number than anal came to grief. A special word of praise is due to the boys of Standard VII. The pupils of this class were examined in eleven subjects-soren ordinary and four special-in in at the subjects there were no only twr. Dr. Eitni says of this class that the fallures and in the remaining subject-Encild-
Algebra papers were very good. The paper on and Physical Geography-were very much abend the special subjects-Science, Euclid, Algebra of anything that has been done in former years, the pass being over 93 per cent. In the Oxford Local Examileation Bar results were better than Thea were in mil twelve partes :-one senior, five junior and six preliminary. Of these three were girls one Jantar and two preliminary. The ia connection with the last examination Bellos Trust was held in December 1894, and although no official report has been issued, I understand that in the English Division for girls the first three prises have fallen to three of our glils, viz:-(1) Laura Botelho, (1) Bella Hender son, (3) Laura Sousa. Thus for the fifth yeaT soccession the 1st prize in this competition kas falles to this school. It is to be regretted that owing to delay in pobllaking the return this onca popular examination has been robbed of much of its interest. "Last year I proposed to start a The teachers and pupils remember with gravitude that your Excellency was the first donor.
