A. S. WATSON & CO., China has carried out its share of the arrange ment. There is still doubt in many minds an to whether the prohibitory edict will ever come into full force, whether, oven, it will continue in operative existence. It is impossible to see how far the officials are in earnest. Many of them have been working hard in carrying out the Dowager Empress orders, for no doubt promotion lies that way, but from accounts in Chinese papers the latter of the edict is more strictly followed than the spirit, for while opium dens are closed, oplum shops for the sale of the drug, to be consumed off the premises, are flourishing. Our Bombay contemporary recalls the fact that in Shanghai there was sume de monstration of force during June when the time for closing the deas drew near, and meetings were held advocating rowdylam with the hope of making the foreign Consuls protest against the action of the native officials.

Under these circumstances, saya the report, the withdrawal, of the licensing system, with its attendant supervision and control, is calculated to lead to an increase of crime and add to the difficulty and cost of policing the Settlement. What is true of Shanghai is equally true of other parts of China, and it is for this reason that doubts are expressed as to the ultimate efficacy of the edict.
