The returns just published show that during the period mentioned nearly 175,000 Italian laborers sought homes In other countries. Of these 88,80 emigrated to Argentine Republic, 36,0ro to Brazil and 40,000 to the United States, the remainder going chiefly to England
In the Carlton Club and in other Conservative circles the report is fully credited that the Government intends to modify Balfour's Irish Land Purchase bill in accordance with Parnell's suggestions, and will embody these in the new draft of the measure which will be presented at the meeting of Parliament in November, The Ministers also intend to produce (along with the land bill) a Local Government bill for Ireland which they hope will meet with the approval of Parnell and his colleagues.

9th August, 1890.
As a result of the official action taken here and at Peking, the late move f nominating first barriers" at impossible places in the island, has had to be given up, but H.E. the Governor has by no means withdrawn either his efforts to set up a camphor monopoly, or his support of the monop lists who have agreed to pay him $30 per picul for all the drug handed to them in Tamsul. A new set of proclamations have been issued embodying the following rules, and from which it will be seen the attempt is made to compel 'all others than the monopolists to pay the equivalent of $30 at the place of pro- duction, thus handicapping outsiders either at Tamsui or Taiwanfoo, by. about $io, the cost of transport for the place where the drug is made to that of shipment.
The subjoined are the regulations extracted from ard enforced by the latest proclamation :- The native camphor-producer, whether selling to foreigners or Chinese, must get his drug weighed by the proper officials, and pay $18 per picul to the latter, towards defraying expenses of defence agai st the savages; and the said producer must immediately make a full report of all drug in his possession.
2-If the producer is willing so to dispose of his drug it may be taken over on account of the monopolists (sic) by the officials, who will pay the boiler $13 per picul for his labour, etc. The producer must give timely notice of the quantity of drug he proposes thus to hand over, so that the authorities may prepare the necessary funds. All payments on account of monopolists will be made as the drug is delivered, and should the officer in charge delay payment, or be guilty of any malfeasance in these transactions, the producer must at once communicate with the Governor by telegraph, charging the offending officer with such malpractices, so that he may be speedily brought to justice.
3-The number of camphor distilleries in the district, and the number of persons employed, together with a report of the daily out-tur from ench establishment must be reported to the officers of the Camphor Bureau, who will care- fully, register all such reports, with a view of facilitating monthly inspections. If this regula distilleries will be at once closed.
