Consul General Jernigan at Shanghai.
China, sends to the State Department a re-
port on the trade of Tamoui, the principal
port Of the island Of qF'ormosa- He says
that as the island has now become a part
Of Japan 1t will be more largely developed.
Formosa is rich in resources. Attention is
called to the fact that the kerosene oil
trade of the United States with Formosa
nearly doubled in the past year, and that
most Of the tea of Fornosa Is consumed in
the United States.
The report on trade transmitted by the
consul general is made by H. B. Morse act
ing commissioner Of customs Of Formosa
He says the increase Of trade In 1894 over
1898 was 81 per cent. Mr.. Morse thinks
that much Of the increased value comes
from the enhanced silver cost Of goods,
which must be paid for in gold. In cotton
goods there was an increase OF all kinds.
Mr. Jernigan says Japan furnishes Forrno-
sa with a great deal of her cotton goods.
He calls attention to the necessity of busi-
ness men of the United States making an
effort to feed the looms Of Japan with cot
ton. 81.

the extreme necessity Of the Pacific cable
project and urge an early meeting Of the
Joint commission Of representatives Of the

Lemming in his letter of January last to
the Canadian minister Of trade and COM
merce. Secure all possible Information as
to construction and laying of the cable
and endeavor to secure the cooperation
of the other agent generals
In reply to this the premier received a
cablegram from Agent General Gills stat
ing that none of the other agents general
had received Instructions to cooperate
with him in urging the construction OF the
cable. The South Australian government
alone had taken q stand on the question,
and Its attitude was decidedly hostile to
the cable project.
The objection is raised that statistics on
a cable are incomplete and unsatisfactory,
and that a cable touching only British soil
is a somewhat Quixotic proposition, not
likely to prove acceptable to the CONNER
