Discontent and bad fealing against the authorities is as rampant la the south as ever, and will once more burst forth at the first chance. Altogether cannot report favourably on the prospects of South Formosa. Trade, hampered and harrassed in every way the officials can think of, struggles on, but, of course, the resulta are vastly different from those of old times.

This business on board the Mamoa will proba. bly make the Chinese authorities ten times raore vigilant, and notwithstanding the chances of capital punishment, no doubt many Chinese travellers will invest in arms for their own protection and, no doubt, not a few. Innocent Celestials will thus be accessory to their own end; for it is notoriously difficult to prove one's innocence in a Chinese court without a liberal distribution of "the other thing."
