by the House of Lords, on the lst Of April. 1879,
which called for statement Of the trade Of the Uni

the fact Of the constantly increasing exports from the

exports over imports of S25l OIL $50. In other
words, our exports to Great Britain were more than

Proposed Conditions for Opening n
. New Port in Korea.

We find the following in the Japan Gazette of Oct
s, received per D. @. Aurroy, the 18th ulto. and
il bears upon the question Of commerce. may have
less interest to our readers The opening Of
port by the Koreans, to the japanese at this
time to indicate that the Koreans treat with
Japan in preference China and in this there is NO
little significance, inasmuch as China threatens to
dispute the right of Japan to trade with Korea
What the result of the pending difficulties between
China ard japan regarding the Loo Choo islands
may be, time alone determine, as both coun-
tries at last advices, making preparations for
coming struggle
The following is draft of the conditions for the
opening of the port of Gensan, Korea. which Mr..
Hanabusa is negotiating with the Korean Govern
ment:-
Art. I. From the month of March in the year
Koshin according to the chronology of the Koreans
corresponding to the month Of May in the 18th year
Of Meij, according to Japanese chronology (isS0),

Tar Burning.

About thirty barrels of tar were burned on
Friday evening last, in different localities in
this city, under the superintendent and di-
rection of the officers of the Board of Health,
for the purpose of fumigating the atmosphere,
in the hope of mitigating the malaria that has
produced the prevailing fever. This simple
experiment can do no harm, and may be pro-
ductive of great benefit to the health of the
city, and inasmuch as twenty barrels were
contributed by the citizens for the occasion,
the Hawaiian Treasury has not been depleted
by the experiment.
The editor of the GAZETTE can well afford
to be sneered at by the quid nuncs of the Id
Uertiser for his efforts to induce action on part
of the Board of Health, to do something, no
matter how little, to effect even slight benefit
to suffering people. We are so accustomed
to the silly conduct of the Advertiser On all
public subjects, that we expect nothing else
but sneers from that source. But we know we
have the approval of sensible men and good
citizens, and therefore, can smile with COM
placency at the heartlessness and incunsis-
tency of our contemporary. The inconsistency
referred to is signally conspicuous wherein
the GAZETTE is charged with unduly exciting
the public mind with articles referring to the
prevalence of the malarisl fever in this city
for months past, when almost every column of
the AdUe'tiSer teens with testimony to estab-
lish the facts as stated by the GAZETTE. To
prove this, it is only necessary for the public
to read the correspondence between their Ex-
cellencies, the American Minister Resident.
and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of this gov
ernment Mr.. T. G. Thrum's article; an arti-
Gle signed "Pro Bono Publico;" then, the
letter Of His Excellency. the Minister of the
Interior, addressed to the editor of the Ad-
1eTfiser, wherein the Minister admits the whole
case in these words: ''Our city having been
until lately quite free of disease and deaths
being trgfrequenf, SOME ALARM Is NATURALLY
CAUSED BY THE DEcEAsE OF AN UNUSUAL
NUMBER oP PROMINENT CITIZENS" The ital-
ice and small-caps are ours, so marked 10 give
emphasis to the truthfulness of the admissions
of the Minister of the Interior. Verify "con-
sistancy thou art jewel, but the Advertiser
has not yet discovered the fact, and we are
prone TO believe never will.
