such refusals, and reckless charges of that sort are certainly calculated to do more harm Iban good to what may be a deserving cause. To look at the matter from a common sense standprint, however, the question at once arises-If the man foseph deserted his wife

what puarante is there that he will not repeat the operation and leave them destitute to San Francisco?

We have no wich check in any way the charitable desires of the public, but in our opinion Mrs. Joseph, or her advisers, committed a great mistake in refusing the liberal offers stated to have been made by the Jews of this

The Hospital report will show an increase in attendance, and also an increase in receipts, for which we are thankful. The gradual development of the work each year pressitates a larger expenditure of fonds, and this we trust will be remembered by the friends and patrons of the Society. An excess of expenditure over the appropriation for foreign medicines and suppiles was necessitated by more of a demand than usual for these sup

piles: also by the very low rate of exchange, This excess is largely met by the increa e In receipts for medicines sold. Dr. Swan asks for leave of absence while on home furlough, also that while absent Dr. D. A. Beattle be appointed 8 his substitute at the Hospital.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

Chemulpo, 26th December, 1893, The annals of this present time in Koren will form very dry reading for posterity. The chief event is the rice embargo. This went into effect rice shipments except between the ports, while the on December 7th, and by its terms prohibits all daty is entirely removed from rice imports. The Koreans allege as the reason for this that the crops this year have been a failure. During the month of the legal notice before the probibition could take effect, the traders in the ports sent into the country and made examination into the truth of the alleged cop fallore. The result was a vigorous protest against the embargo,

To the great rice bearing provinces to the south the crop is not a remarkably heavy one, but neither can it be called a fallure. The true inwardness of the matter is that the

The idea origlasted with Governor Cho, of the Choung-chong pravluce, who made himself famous while governor of the Ham-klong province by the bean embargo of 1890. For damages sustained by this prohibition the "Japs" are collecting a large indemnity, which Cho has to pay out of his priva'e funda. This embryonic statesman seems fated 10 go down in history as "Embargo Joe." There are rumours of a removal of the embargo, but doubt-

Mr. Gladstone in reply said that the report of the Council and the reply of Rias Pasha did contain the expressions of opinion ascribed to them. The second part of Mr. Labouchere's question, Mr. Gladstone said, raised large issues of great importance upon which the views of Government were fully stated in Parliament during the debate on 2nd May last, and in the despatch of Lord Rosebery to Lord Cromer in the earlier part of the year.
