JAPAN AND FORMOSh
From tie Times)

tains Office, his principal opponent. NJ.
Yokota, the Proculator-Geuc1n having been
dismissed.
Two British Consular reports from Tamsuj
and Tei-wan deal with II, condItic.. of
Formosa during the past year Foreign
trade, in spite Of the prohibition Of the i'm
port of opium by private merchants, seems
to be progressing satisfactorily, on the
whole. But the disturbed condition of fIe
interior was a SCI ions drawback all through
the year. The nature of the country retarl-
ed military operations against the ~brigands
who infrst the mountains; "brigandago on
a large scale aud continual attacks on travel
lers were the rule and not the exception,
and districts hitherto safe nave been inter
dictel to foreigners" The want Of commu-
~nication by rail and road is an obstacle not
only 10 the growth of trade but also to
pacifcation. British trade s conducted
much as it was 20 years ago 'Hhe heads of
firms live in Annoy, and do not appear to
trouble themselves much about tie island,
neveN venturing to pay it a visit.
The Government of Japan has yet
TO accomplish a great deal to develop fully
the weal'hiAt corner of it's Empire; but
much, without the slightest doubt, remains
to be done by British merchants if they
desire to take full advantage of the Oppor-
tunities offering even at this stage of
Formosa's deelopment." At the same time.
it is said that the natives Of the cities have
never enjoyed so muchl prosperity a. at
present, and hey. have certainly derived
much benefit from The ch3hged circumstances
