A JAPANESE INVASION,

VISITORS FOR THE EXHIHITION.

The fact that East is metting West this year ́at' the Japan-British ́ Exhibition at Shepherd's Busli, hay already aroused great interest on the Contineat. It was stated at Monday's banquet at the Hotel Cecil that the booking of the grast Continental railway compacies up to the present ware larger than had besh the case in any previous exhibition.'

From Japan and the Far East, 100, there is a likelihood of a great influx of visitor, The Japanera bave entered into the project with such rest, reinarked one authority, that the wealthier class of nanglacjurer and trader will feel it their duty to follow the exhibits, and spand their holiday in seeing the scope of the venture.

A Pall Mall Gazelle representativa who made inquiries at the chief shipping firms hay- Ing direct communication with Japan found them anticipating good bookings to this coun try during the next month. The, exhibition opens early in May, and at the passage by any route takes about six weeks, it is most probable that intending visitors will book about the middle of April or the beginning of May.

That would cable them to be in Englaod during the most pleasant months of June and July, when the exhibition will be in full swing. At the P. and O. offices an official informed Our representative that they hope for increased bookings, but it was yet too early to form any estimate of the extra' number who would be coming. The company had already arranged that exhibitors should be affarded special ratón for the outward passage, and that this reduction had also been extended to the freights, to be

exhibited..

THE JAPANESE LINES, The Nippon Yusen Kaisha, Japan Mall Steamship Company, Limited) officials bore out this statement, but intimated that their reductions applied for the return journey. This lice comes direct.to Marseilles, where passengers have the option of the överland rante or of continuing the whole journey to London by sen. "Good bookings are hoped for, and our passenger list on this important Occasion will certainly be increased, was the Anformation supplied,

It is certain that the many Japinese who are on the Continent will not allow their com- paratively short distance from this country to deter them from supporting their. national sad patriotic venture, London will assuredly see a Japanese lovasion in the months of fuos, July, and August. --

In addition to the proceeds of iba theatricst entertainment some $3,000 to $4,900 a day have been realised from the sala of articles generously contributed by the people who visited the bazaar.

The registration of vaduralas should be sa- trusted to provincial boards consisting of the government agente as chairmen and such other members in the Governor may appoint

Only such, vederalas should be registered 28 in the judgment of the board have gone through a sufficient course of training, are of good character, and have an extentive and

more than merely local practice.

Smilar boards, If thought desirable, might"| be appointed in revenus districts with the

assistant government agents as chairman.

To order to secure uniformity the Governor

should fix the maximum number of registered vedaralas to be allowed for each province or revenne district. To enable the Governor to do this, in the first insteach govaramedi agent, after the board has received and con- sidered applications for registration v vodatalas, should submit a report on the applications to the Governor...

The foregoing recommandations bave been made on the assumption that the distribution of opium will be entrusted to officers of the medical department as contemplated by the draft ordinance, but we look forward 'to the time when the supervision of the distribution of opium as well as the administration of the revenue dérived from arrack and salt will be in the hands of an excies department.
