they [Japanese] arrived in 1895, instead of being allowed to take quiet possession, they found the people everywhere up in arms against them, and had literally to fight their way from north to south before anything like settled government could be established. . . . Immediately after some measure of peace had been restored, the executive sent out qualified experts to engage in survey work and to report on the resources of their newly ceded territory. A complete census of the population was taken in 1897, 800 miles of roads were made, and a tramway line laid down from Takow to Sin-tek. This was followed by construction of the main line of railway from Kelung to Takow, about one-half of which has already been opened for goods and passenger traffic. Three cables were also laid down, connecting Formosa with Japan, Foochow, and the Pescadores, and over the existing 1,500 miles of telegraph and telephone wires immediate communication has been made possible with every important inland centre. The post offices recently opened in Formosa number over a hundred, and letters can now be sent to any part of the empire for two cents each. Up till the close of 1899, 122 government educational institutions had been established, only 9 of those being for Japanese, and 113 for natives. There are at present 10 principal Government hospitals in the island, at which about 60,000 patients are treated gratuitously every year, while sanitary precautions and free vaccination have become so general that the danger from visitations like small-pox and plague has been very much reducedary, York Public 6 Port Richmond Branch, 12 Bennett St. мә A Abdication, practice of, 90, 97 Academy of Music, Tōkyō, 217 Acrobats, 66 Actors' guild, 27 Adams, Will, 91 INDEX Anderson, 235 "Andover Review," 259 Anglo-Japanese Alliance, 4, 92, 147, 153, 154, 156, 157, 299 Anglo-Saxon influence, 157 Anglo-Saxon town meeting, 142 Anglo-Saxons, 128, 168 Animals, see names of animals "Advance Japan," 15, 28, 59, 117, 132,"Annals of the American Academy of 158, 208 "American Missionary in Japan, An," Arts, fine, 91, 222–236 190, 269 American State legislature, 135 Arts, mechanical, 24, 25 Aryans, 45 Americans, 33, 36, 47, 66, 79, 104, Asama, 8 107, 144, 165, 168, 210, 216 Amoy, 295 Amusements, 66-69 Ancestors, worship of, 64 "Ancient Matters, Records of," 92 Ashikaga Yoshimasa, 233 Ashikaga period, 98, 99 Ashikaga supremacy, 91 Asia, 14, 149, 156, 281, 292, 294, 301 Asia, Eastern, supremacy of Japan in, | Base-ball, 66 "Asiatic Loch Lomond," 8 Asiatic Society of Japan, Transac- Aso, Prof. S., 364 Aso, Mount, 8 Aston, W.
