Sir E. Gray:1 have received a report stating that a representation was made by the Acting British Consul General at Canton, pointing out that the arrest and imprisonment of a Canton dealer of the wholesale trade by the Opium Bareau contravened the assurance given by tbe Chinese Govemment that the regulations would not interfere with the opium trade. The Consul General would appear to have acted on is own laitiative. I am not yet aware of the fault of these representations. The action of the Acting Consul-General at Canton has the approval of the Foreign Office. It does not imply any modification of the attitude of His Majesty's Government with regard to the pre- grassive reduction of the Import of opium.

THE SCENE IN TOKYO.
Seldom perhaps have the citizens of Tokyo been privileged to witness such a remarkable spectacle as that presented by the funeral of Prince Ito on Thursday, 4th inst. The people turned out in their thousands—in their tens of thousands would perhaps be the more correct phase-in order to pay their last respecia to Japan's grout statesmao. The whole line of route, from the starting point at the late Prince's officiat realdouce la Roloauraks to Hlyiba Park, and from the park to the burial place at Omori (a distance of approximately eight miles altogether) was densely packed with people. They maintained very good order on the whole, and there was little horseplay such as is often experienced on similar occasions with a Euro- pean crowd. At the cross streets, where the throng was continually augmenting, the police paturally found it somewhat difficult to keep the passage clear, and now and then the greater offenders were pulled from out the perspiring ranks, and soundly slapped and caffed by the exasperated constables. I saw 000 of wo pulled out upon whom the police doomed it necessary to exercise a litle julistu as a hint that rough manners were not tolerated.
