the Foreign Consuls, one Corean official, and three representatives of the landholders. The Count employs two foreign and four Chinese police constables. The approaches to the river (Salée) are now well surveyed, and the latest British Admiralty charts are quite reliable. The outer anchorage is accessible to ships of all sizes, and the inner one to coasting vessels and steamers ordinarily employed in the local trade. The river is navigable for vessels not drawing over 10 feet up to Mapu; but seeing that at ce...in seasons there are a few places where the fall in the river is very considerable, owing to the existence of sand banks, it is desirable that river steamers, intended to run regularly, should not draw over six feet. An overland telegraph line from China to this port and the city of Seoul was opened to traffic in November, 1885. The climate is healthy and may be compared to that of Chefoo. The foreign population was 1,795 (including Japanese) in 1889, and the natives were estimated at 1,532.
The port was opened to Japanese trade on the 1st January, 1883, and to foreign trade on the 16th June of the same year. The value of the imports from foreign countries in 1889 was $1,824,867, and that of the exports $391,859. The total value of the trade of the port in 1889 was $2,468,746 compared with $2,360,654 in 1888.
