FORMosA NOW JAPANESE.

Foreign Commerce.

WASHINGTON. d. c., February l.
Gated to the Secretary Of State the fol-
lowing official cablegram, which had just
been received from the imperial govern
ment at Toxic. and which is intended as
the formal declaration on the part Of
Japan to treaty Powers Of the accession
of Formosa and the opening Of the
island 10 foreign commence:
"Order and tranquility having been es-
tablished In Formosa, the japanese Gov
eminent grants the following privileges
and facilities to the subjects. citizens, and
vessels OF treaty Powers being In or re-
sorting to Formosa:
"First-The subjects and citizens OF
Powers having commercial treaties with
Japan may reside and trade in Formosa
at Tam-Sui, Keeling. An-Ping. Tai

such Powers may visit the ports and

and Takao

dition Of affairs in Formosa. the treaties

Ing to Formosa, it being at the same
time understood that all persons availlng
Themselves OF the above-enumerated IA
ciities shall obey all DEGREES and regula-
lions which may at any time be in force
IN Formosa."
This notice, which is practically an i'm
perial proclamation, makes the newly
acquired Island as free to foreign trade
as any portion of Japan now Is. The final
provision Is similar to the saving clauses
usually inserted in such DEGREES, and Is
chiefly significant In that under II no
extra-territorial Jurisdiction Is contem
plated.
The United States will probably estab-
fish consu ar agencies at the newly-open.

been made at Takao.

MEXICAN EXHIBIT AT ATLANTA.
Misunderstanding About the Compif-

ATLANTA. GA, February l.-There
seems to have been 4 misunderstanding
concerning the extent Of the complica-
lions about the Mexican exhibit as the
story went out to the newspapers. The
exhibit was never attached, and could
not have been touched in that way, be-
cause while here it was under the charge
Of the Federal government
There was no attempt to move IL, out
a rumor to that effect caused some local
creditors, who did not understand the de-

talk agout attachments. There were no
steps OF this kind taken, however.
The delay in securing the remlttances
from the home government at the city
Of Mexico was simply the delay that Is
usual in government matters. Inc money
has reached Senior Gonzales, the Mexican
commissioner, all claims have been
promptly liquidated, and the senior ex-
poets to leave in a day or two for the
City of Mexico.

diamond dust does the cutting. Inc oin-
fashioned way was to use pecuhsr

THE GRINDsTONE TEST.
Apropos OF this. the safest way to de-
termine the genuineness OF diamond Is
10 test It's hardness. The simplest test
IS to hold the stone firmly against
wet. rapidIy-revolving grindstone for from
FIVE to ten minutes. II the least
mark appears upon the piece II Is not
diamond, for II Il were a diamond, 80
FAR from any mark being produced on H.
It would be likely, on the other hand
to make a deep impression In the grind
stone. The same test may be made with
emery paper. or an emery-wheel neither
OF which although harder than grind
stone. will make any impression upon a
diamond.
This Is a good thing for prospective

Some people think that n they rub
stone against glass and it makes deep
impression that II IS a diamond. Some
paste articles will scratch glass, and the
limitations OF sapphires, rubles, and en-
eralds will do the same.
Regarding the hardness OF diamonds.

and giving three feet OF travelling sur
