highly inflammable, and unless the greatest care is token, destructive Ares constantly result from the use. It appears further that in a dry volimate. like that of "Canton, the danger of A
is very great, and that last winter marsely a day passed without one. 9/10ths of the number being trasoable to kerosene, notably the grant fra in November last, ontaide the South Gate, in which Lover 1,000 families wore burnt out and over 10,000,000 dollars' worth of pozperty was con Bamed.
We must attribute therefore the daily increas
ing frequency of these disasters to the increasing consumption of kerosene, since the introduction of which incalonlable injury has been dogs to Chinese life and property in this province alone, to say nothing of the other seast and rivetips provinces.
It may even be mid that the injury me to China by kerasana is more grave than that done by opium, for although opiata is indeed a polson, ite action is slow, whereas with kerosene, which is found everywhere, if it onoo estobes are, it spreads the more you try to put it out; in momoat the neighbourhond is in a blaze and life and property are constantly destroyed.
It is also matter of haportance, althongh in a Joes degree, that since the development of the keragquo.consumption the live industry in paa-nut, colga, and bean-oil has day by day do clinet.
"Having this in vlow we last year instructed the varions lekin stations to impose hoovy Additional dutine on kerosono, hoping by increasing its -east to diminiab its consumption, which led to the Amorionn Minister addressing the Tsung-li Yames, who called on us for a raport, which made confidentially in May last.
We would submit that by the Treaties. foroigo archants are forbidden to dent iu sul plar or saltpetre, as these concern the military organistion, or in rener beans of these affect the food wepply of the people, and that there is pre orient therefors for Articles prohibiting for eigners trading (sveo in) Chinese produce; they should not therefore setting forth, as they do. flat they are friendly Staten, insist, in order to profit themselves, on harming as and introducing foreign produce shown to be so highly injurious to the welfare of the people.
