In this matter it was stated that the plaintiff the balance at credit of profit and loss account as owners of the steamer Aeolus entered loto an $116,455.03 which it is recommended should contract with the defendant la respect of cer- be appropriated as follows tain wood work for the vessel. At the time the agreement was signed the Aeolus was lying off Tel-kok-tui. On the day defendant started the work there was a strong wind blowing and the ship had a considerable list. The delend- aut confessed that he could not work under such
conditions and told plaintiffs that he would remove all the ship's wood-work and take it ashore, where the work would be done. The
wood-work was removed plaintiffs advanced defendant the sum of $150; but the work.was never completed, and defendant still held the wood he removed from the ship.
"Ar this morning's-bearing-MKP-W Goldring (of Messrs, Goldring, Barlow, and Morrell) for the plaintiffs, called Mr. J. T. Douglas, matice surveyor, who, observed that when he examined the vessel hardly any work bad been done-not ten per cent, even. The work shown in the specification was carpenters' work. When he visited the vessel her bold was full of water. In order to proceed with the work deck beams would have to be removed, which would take about a week. But her after bold could not have been pumped out owing to the number of holes la
the bottom of the ship, Uring reasonable ex- pedition the defendants, in witness's opinion, had only done a week's work. Subject to the deck beams and the ship's baitom being re paired the carpentering werk would have been completed in about six weeks,

Mr. Hasama, a Secretary in the Formoran $375, 3143 Government, rose to answer Mr. Nishimura, He said that the Formsian Government hoped to produce in Formosa all, the sugar' required in Japan, and were working haid, to develop the cultivation of the cane and to improve the quality of sugar, as well as the feriliser used in its cultivation. In Java about 160,000 kin 2,150,00❘ of sagar-cane was produced on one che of land, while in Formoss at one time the yield was 30,000.00 not more than 45,000 kia. As the result of --116,47-5.03-|-the-improvement made in the method of culti
vation the output had now increased to be- tween 65,000 and 75,000 kin, and it was expected to be increased to 120,000 kin. Thera were many sugar mills in Formosa, but with the exception of the Formosa and Ensuiko Sugar Mills, all the rest were quite new, hav. ing began the operation of "machinery only this year. The sugar industry la-Formosa was only now beginning to grow. "This evasion of lax must be strictly suppressed, but leniency should be shown in troposing the excise.
