A few months ago, instructions were given
cials of the different districts to call for reports on the number of opium smokers within their respective jurisdictions, but so far only a few of such reports have been received from among the districts. The Police authorities have now again directed the officials of the districts ré- quiring them to submit their reports as called for within a month's time. If any official fails to comply with the ostructions, he will be severely punished. When the returns of opium smokers have been received from a district, new licences in the form of a wooden board will be sent there to be issued to smokers in substitution for the existing permits.

Yesterday, a steam-launch- was despatched by the Canton Central Flood Relief Committee with ten thousand gunny bags. The launch is to make a tour of inspec thou along the waterways of 'the River and render necessary assítance to the villagers in seed. Late in the afternoon yesterday urgent telegrams were received here from the districts of Suouing and Hoiping stating that the market-places of Chik-bam, Cheong-she, Sad. chrung and Pik-hoi and the neighbourhood have been flooded, as heavy rains had fallen during the last three days and the river rose rapidly to a considerable ex eot. In the mes sages the Central Relief Committen was asked for immediate assistance. In answer to these urgent calls, this morning, another steam launch outstanding for about two years; his clients number of gunay bigs and necessary food were being kept out of their money, and be did stuffs to help the unfortunate, victims of the not see why the case could not be tried straight latest visitation.
