JAPAN'S HARD JOB.
Subjugation of the Natives Of
Formosa.

New York. April 26-Rev. Thomas
Barclay OF FormoSa. an English Presby-
terrain delegate to the Ecumenical con-
ference, says that the japanese are haV-
ing more trouble in subduing the saw
ages of Formesa than the Americans
are in bringing order out of chaos in the
Philippines.
After the Japanese Chinese war"
said Mr.. Barclay last night, the Chinese
withdrew their mandarins and handed
the island of F'ormosa over to the Jap
aneSe. 1t is a good sized piece of land,
about $50 miles long by 60 miles wide,
and is full of people 1t is really a con-
tinuation of the chain of islands of
which the Philippines are part, and
during the Spanish American war a
canoe full of Filipinos landed on the is
land, after a voyage on the open sea.
The japanese soldiers do not venture
far into the interior. There is a noun
tain range running almost through the
middle of the island. On the coast are
the Japanese and Chinese. A little fur
Their back are the aborigines, who are
half civilized and do not make much
trouble.
Then come the savages on the noun
tain slopes, and there is no telling just
when the japanese will be able to curb
them They never have been Subju-
gated, and when they catch a band of
japanese soldiers isolated they kill them
the Chinese before the japanese Occu-
patton. A small party of Chinese wood
men intent on cutting camphOr trees
would suddenly find themselves assailed
and usually they would be wiped out
As soon as the sayages make a raid OF
this kind they flee to the mountain re-
sorts and the soldiers do not dare follow
them any distance, They are largely
armed with guns, although some of them
still cling TO the bow and arrow and
spear They are, in fact, much like the
natives of Malay, speaking Chinese
largely. and have the same physical
charac teristics as the Chinese.
THE Japanese are carrying on the
camphor industry. and no doubt are
making a good thing out of it, as Japan
is now about the only producer of that
valuable commodity. The Chinese were
cutting off all the camphor trees when
the Japanese took possession, and since
then there has been some regard paid TO
forest preservation. I 90 not know just
how plentiful the camphor trees are
back from the towns and villages. In the
interior of the island no doubt there are
tanned from the wood by chopping the
logs up into chips. putting them into a
cyclinder or Fetort, and slowly firing it,
Cold water is poured through the top OF
the cylinder as it is being fred and the
vapor is condensed, the camphor adher-
ing to a plate at the top of the retort.
| The greatest care is taken in the firing
of the retort. or cylinder. If the fire is
too hot or insufficient the results are
unremuneratiye. They have become
| skiliful. of course, after being at it sc
many years.

KNOW ONLY AMERICA.
Chinese Care Nothing For Individual
Cities.

Boston, April 26.-Wu Ting Fang, the
Chinese minister, who is here attend
ing the meeting of the national associa-
ton of manufacturers. was asked if
there was any special feeling in China
with reference to New England, and
Boston in particular, on account of the
old time trade interests in this poT-
tion Of the United States. He said: I'm
China today we do not know Boston
and New York and Philadelphia. We
know simply America Most of the old
commercial houses in China have gone
out of business. Other countries have
sent their Representatives Germany,
for instance. The Germans are very
smart business men. They know how
to deal with the Chinese merchants.
Their motto is better business with
small profits than no business at ALL -
What are these boxers that we read
about2" he was asked.
1t took the minister an unusually long
time TO comprehend the question, but
finally he grasped it
II never heard much about them
when I was in China" he said. 1T is
an athletic society, think-boxing, you
know. That's where the name comes
from I think the stories of killing mis-
sionaries are much magnifed, how ever.
I never heard of anything Of the kind"
