JAPANESE JOTTINGS.
(From Japanese Papers.)
THE PUBLICATION OF BOOKS IN JAPAN. According to a vernacular paper, during last year some 25,000 bocks were published in Japan. Of this number 5,poo dealt with law and only 1,300 with religion.

THE PRISON EXPENDITURE. The Liberal party has under consideration a proposal to make a representation to the Government calling for the transfer of prison expenditure from the local to national revenue. It is probable that the motion will be intro- duced early next moth.
A BANIIT SUCCESS IN FORMOSA. Aparty consisting of a sergeant and eight *privates, who were escorting mails from Sans- hoko to Koroton, Formosa, on the 25th ult, was attacked by bandits, who suddenly fired from an ambush. The sergeant and three privates were killed instantly, and the remain- der had a very narrow escape.
THE NEW CHINESE MINISTER.
Mi. Li Shing-to, new Chinese Minister to Tokyo, was received in audience by the Emperor on the morning of the 20th inst, when he presented his credentials and also a decoration forwarded to the Emperor. Subse- quently Mr. Li was given an audience by the Empress.
OPPOSITION TO A GOVERNOR.
A Tokushima dispatch states that on the 20th inst the Tukushima Prefectural Assembly, having discovered what it believed to be strong evidence that Mr. Yamada, the Governor of the prefecture-had suggested the organization of a movement for increase of the land tax, unan- Imously adopted a vote of want of confidence in the Governor, and, returning all the Bills before the assembly, dispersed after shouting Banzai for the Empator.
SPECIAL RICE TRANSPORT TRAINS.
The Osaka Mainichi states that the Sanyo Railway Company has been running special trains between Hyogo and Nishinomiya for the transportation of rice which has been arriving at Hyogo Station from Banshu and the West to the extent of some 16,000 bags daily. Now that the transport of rice from Banishu is almost finished the cereal is beginning to pour in from Okayama and the neighbourhood......
THE IMPORT OF SALTED FISH, A The Liberals have introduced n Bill into the 'House of Representatives to amend the new
Customs Tariff by striking out the item of salted fish, on which it. is proposed to levy a duty of 15 per cent. The object is to encour age the Japanese fishery on the Siberian coasts, which again results in large exports of Japanese goods to Biberia. The vernacular papers call 15 percent a prohibitive duty. If auch be the case, what are we to say of the duty on whisky, which stands at 40 per cent, or of that on hams, which is 15 per cent? But thon, of course, these latter anicles are only used by foreigners.

STUDIED INACTION,
We recently heard the American Minister sty he had reported fnur rohberies of Americans to the Yauch but beyond promises to recover nothing has been done. The gendarmerie of Eeking is rouen to the core, more rotten if if possible than the usual purely native administration.
“THE WALE IS "CIONETE. "
The Foreign Minister are a bit piqued to find their liberty, of walking on the city wall has been curtailed. Several Ministers' have
recently been refused permission to promenade on the wall. The authorities say the Empress. Dowager herself has issued orders forbidding | promenading on the wall. This is an annoyance in retaliation for not removing the foreign soldiers,
