They leased a tea garden about 20 miles south of the Capital, and there, at great expense, cultivated tea in the Indian style. The result was satisfactory, but the further extension of the system was knocked on the head by the opposition of omnipotent Lic, who took up the cause of the people who belleved that the introduction of the new method of preparation would lojure their interest in lessening thedemand for native labour !' Thus the enterprise which had in it the elements of vast benefit to China waS practically crushed.

These friends of Peking officials are a curse throughout China, and they are as unprincipled as they are degraded and vicious. Taking all things into consideration it is little wonder that H.E. became sick and tired of Formosa, and repeatedly pressed the Emperor for permission to "brow up the sponge."

sent agafast them for the purpose of bringing them under the complete control of the Chinese authorities. It is owing, partly to his birth (being of semi-savage parentage) that Liu maintains cordial relations with the savage chiefs, though his liberality in giving them blankets, plece 'goods, samaku," and various cheap and useful implements, such as axes, knives, pots and pans, etc. must be reckoned as an important factor in bis waya and means of bringing them to a certain extent under his sway. Liu's presents are regarded by the savages as an annual tribute=ss a quid pro gus for abstinence on their part from the com- infital of depredations on the farms and estates of his numerous Chinese and half-breed tenants. At the present time all is quiet is savage circles, which simply means that, the Chinese baving left their neighbours alone for some months, the latter are content to rest in place, It is not altogether surprising, in fact it natural, that the Chinese should have made vigorous efforts to wipe out the savages, secing that they occupy, and thereby render valueless, at least one third of the entire island, and, furthermore, produce nothing that can be regarded as an augment to trade. Their needs, too, are practically wil, so as buyers of Imported merchandise they are beneath the consideration of their industrious and pre eminently businesslike invaders. They come to the borders at times with a rade kind of home-spun cloth, which the half-breeds in the border districts turn into articles of wearing apparel; and ther also bring down bear, deer and leopard's skins and bones, deer horns, and pith plant. The Chinese turn the latter into what is commonly known as rice paper. A little of the pith plant is exported to Amoy, where it is made into flower ornaments for ladies' hair. The above mentioned articles are bartered with the Chinese for matchlocks, rude fron Implements, coarse powder, betel nuts, and samshu. Of course the wily Chinaman overreaches his savage customer in dealing in samshu, which hedliutes with rice water, thereby selling haif a battle of the liquor for the same price as be would a whole one elsewhere. This, however, has its advantages, for were the savages to get pure liquor they would probably, under lis Influence, arm themselves and run amok, dealing death amongst the defenceless Celestials Strange to say, the savages are friendly toward" | Keelung and the coalfields; and, further sandalson and arms at hand ready to be called in Marine Risks at CURRENT RATES on GOODS,

foreigners, whom they regard superior to the Chinese and believing that they are in just as much danger of being attacked by the Chinese as they themselves are. Many interesting stories are told of the friendliness of the savages towards Europeans.

There are, it may be added, two classes or races of savages in Formosa; namely, the "savages of the plains” ard the mountaineers. It is with regard to the mountain tribes that the foregoing remarks specially refer, their confrères of the plains being a much more docile set of beings, who are, as far as is known at present, a mixed race descendants of Amoy Chinese Malays and the "Mountaineers." The hill tribes.coerce the men of the plains to assist them in carrying on war against the Chinese, the latter being reluctant to disturb the friendly relations that exist. Amongst the savages there are tribes whose young men are not allowed to marry until they have brought into camp the head of one Chinaman, at least. The manner of taking the head is not very, chivalrous-it is not done, as a rule, in fair band-to-hand combat. The savage bent on "winning his spurs" as a vallant warrior Iles in wait for some passing Chinaman, or perchance a party consisting of three of four Chinese traders, upon whom he springs from his ambush before they suspect danger, A short scale, if any, ensues, and the headless trunk of an inoffensive Chinaman ller on the ground, while the savage, bounding over hill and dale, makes off to Ele camp with the coveted trophy in his hand, Upon arrival in camp the "warrior" goes straight to his Chief and lays before him the ghasily evidence of his prowessa. A war danca is soon in full swing, amidst which the hero of the hour is introduced to bls bride, and erp many hours have passed by is allowed to take her to his bark hut, where she is, on the morrow, formally visited by all the "squaws" of the surrounding country.

The savages are not cannibals. They live on

vegetables, corn, sweet potatoes, and half roasted pork and chicken whenever they can afford the

latter, which is not often.

Hitherto the methods adopted by the Chinese to pabjugate and ultimately, annihilate the savages have been faille, owing to their inability to follow them into their mountain fastnesses, The only practical scheme seems to be the construction of roads through their territory from North to South and from East to West; the labourers being protected by batteries of light field artillery. The lighting, too, of large bush fires would prove a great auxillary in the matter of driving the savages back." - But such a course would be a very extreme measure, fraught with loss to the Chiness, owing to the fact that as all the best camphor trees in the island are now in the forest within savaga territory, the fire would, of course, destroy large numbers of these valuable glants of the forest.

"An attempt to teach the natives the modus operands of silk cultivation some two years ago ended in failure. Silkworms were reared and a little silk of excellent quality was produced, but the natives make such a good thing out of their labours in the tea season that they cannot be Induced to trouble themselves to take up the new enterprise. The only way to wet the silk Industry fairly started would be for mulberry trees to be grown there in large numbers and for Chinese labour to be imported under special

The only completed railway in Formosa is the Keelung Twatuila, which is 26 miles in length, electoratula 20 m, ass, the northern end of the island. It is of great im partance both from milltary and commercial points of view, connecting as it does, two for dified ports, the capital with the East coast port off more, tapping tea and rice districts, and alluvial gold-fields. There is, as stated in a previous epistle, a line la course of construction from the capital, Twatutla, to the Southem extremity of the island-a distance of fully 200 miles. It is practically, an extension of the Kelung Twatutis line, for they connect at the capital and are of the same gauge the 3.6" (narrow) metre gauge. Railway contruction in Formosa, has been attended with a good deal of unnecessary trouble to the Governor owing to unsuitable engineers having been folsted on the local authorities. At the present time, however, indeed, for the past year or more the works are in charge of two thoroughly experienced stendy and energetic, Civil Engineers; namely, Mr. H. C. Mathieson (Consulting Engineer to the Governor of Formosa), and Mr. W. Watson, who is, practi- cally: Executive engineer in charge of the con- struction of the new (southern) line and the completion of Kelang end (down to the water's edge of the Twatutia-Kelung line. rolling-stock Is of Inferior class, but seems to answer the present needs of the country very wall, though the day is not far distant when have to be put on. better carriages and more powerful engines will

It cannot be said that Messrs, Mathieson and Watson have carte blanche to do as to them may seem right in the interests of the Governor, Far from it.

The Northern Rosd, it may be added, has cost the Government about £5,000 per mile, which for, say, 26 miles equals 130,000 $680,000, roughly. In many places culverts have had to be re-built and the line sun round the foot hills, and bridges been reconstructed

-June 27th,

I am told by the Chinese, who get their Information from the yamins, that the regiment of soldiers here has been sent to the capital of the province and a new regiment from that city- has replaced them. The reason given for the change is that in case of any trouble arising the men of the regiment here could not be depended upon, because many of them are natives of the placa and have families residing here,

Very stringent measures are being taken here; at all the inus the guests have to register their names, ages, and addresses. After the second watch of the night no one is permitted to pass along the streets without a lantern...

A couple of evenings ago there was some trouble near the Lungkal creek on account of the early closing of the opiam shops by order of the officials. A rowdy crowd collected and became noley and demonstrative. The whole of the officials, including the Taotsi, Halen, Chentai and Erbfs, turned out and kept the peace. I am told that the soldiers sleep every night with their straw a moment. I have not been to any of the camps to verify these statements. Some of the native preachers returning from their usual work in the country report that the wildest rumours are going the round. Strangers from distant places and speaking strange dialects go about urging people to rebellion and then pass on without giving any

name or address. Hanan anti- Christian placards are being distributed through the country villages and cities. Everybody is talking about the Kolao Hui, and I am told that a great many members of this Society exist here and that they are diligent in obtaining additions to their fraternity.

The continual passing and repassing of foreign gunboals, and the noise of the salules, terrifies some of the innocent Ionabitants, many of whom have removed their effects to the country for safety. Some of the Chinese, on the contrary are defiant and say they are ready to fight. China's " 1,000 steam men-of-war" (7) can eazlly overcome any forces the foreigners may bring to bear,

The entire country-lide for scores of miles do not cease to talk of the Wuzuch massacre and 'burnings, and are expecting dreadful retribullon at the hands of the foreigners; should nothing come of all this and the present state of lanction continue they will become greatly emboldened. The proclamation fever still continues; they fall like autumn leaves.-N. C. Dally News,
