NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN
A correspondent of the Boston HeroId. writing
from the steam frigate Mississippi, at Hakodadi,
says:
presume that before this reaches YOU, Won will
have received the intelligence that our Consul Mr..
Harris, has succeeded in completing his new treaty
with the Japan Government, and that it has been
signed by the Emperor and sent to our Government
by Commodore Tatnall. Mr.. Harris has labored
hard to bring about this grand result, and is de-
serving the congratulations of the whole American
people. BY this treaty the port of Simoda, of
account to us, will be closed, and the beautiful
harbor of Lanagua, only twelve miles from the city
of Jeddo, is to be opened to us for commerce, &c.
After the treaty is ratified, that portion will be the
residence of Mr.. Harris 1t is a beautiful harbOr,
easy of access at all times of the year. well pro-
tected from all storms, and is not like that of ST
moda, surrounded at its extremes by sunken rocks.
1t is also capable of containing large number of
ships while that of Simoda is not large enough to
allow more than three or four ships to ride at
anchor at the same time. Its proximity to the
! Court of Jeddo will also make it convenient for
| Mr.. Harris.
| The japanese Government has decided to send an
! Ambassador to Washington in March next, on the
condition that Government will convey him
| and his suite to Panama in a Government ship en-
route for the United States. learn that Mr.. llar-
ris and Commodore Tatnall assured the authorities
of Jeddo that it would be gratifying to the United
States Government and its people to comply with
! this request, and that the return mail would no
doubt bring orders to that effect.
| Sunday, August lst, was an interesting at
Simoda At 10 o'clock, A. NJ, all the boats of the
Powhatan and of this ship were seen pulling to the
! landing near the ConsUls residence, mile from
Simoda proper, filled with officers and men, among
whom We're Com fatnail; Capt NICHOLSON, and the
the Consuls residence for the purpose of attending
divine worship of Almighty God on Japanese soil.
Here, on the very soil from which the decree has
gone forth for centuries to the world that if the
Almighty God himself, or man, or the devil should
dare to step foot on Japanese soil to preach the
ligion of the Most High, they should pay the for
felt OF their lives; here it that on the lst dav
OF August, 1888, four hundred American officers
and seamen worshipped the true God without being
moested. Rev. Mr.. Wood gave his text from Isl
Ihessalonlans, chap. |, verses and 10, and hymns
lO7 and lib from the Episcopal Common PRAYER
book We're sung with much effect by the choir Of
the POwhatan. The discourse was listened to for
an hour with the utmost silence by the American
hearers, while vast crowd of japanese gathered
around the building to watch our movements.
