advices from Japan say, in reference to
TIL killing of the queen of Corea:
Before the comp detat took place, the
queen of Corea was secretly maturing
political scheme involving the muir

The attention of the executive council
was called to the action of the govern
nent of the United States in supplying
its traders and business men with in
formation up to date, by means Of con-
sular reports, with regard TO openings
for business in foreign countries, and
that body has requested the govern
Inent to provide for consular reports
such as are made by the consular sery-
ice of the United States. Mr.. Meeker
says it may be of interest to the public

officers is, as a general rule, very high
IN spoken of by British merchants and
tourists. Our eonsuls are given credit
for zeal, intelligence and great activity
and their willingness to oblige traders
and travellers with useful information
is often referred 10. The English news
papers constantly publish extracts from
consular reports issued by the Depart
rnent of State and the information Civ
en- is not infrequently made use of by
the exporters, investors and engineers
of the United Kingdom.
