Latest:About Oplum,k The latest development in this important question is another clear | indication" of ----Great ⠀⠀ Britain's sincerity towards assisting Ohins in dealing with opium. From our telegraphic service it will be seom that the British CoverNA ment has "consented." (probably it was they who proposed the step) to the inclusion of the provinces of Chibli and Kwangai in the list of those provinces in which Indian opium shall be prohibited, and Six Jordan, has been authorised to inform the Chinese Government that Hunan, Anhui and Shangtung" shall also be subjected to a joint investiga tion at the earliest possible time and if the result be satisfactoy the British-Government will agree to their inclusion in the list? Nothing could be fairer without being foolish when considération is made--and must be made-of the rights that those engaged in the opium trade. As we have etated, it must be obvious to every fair-minded and impartial man that the British Government. have noted in a thoroughly hop ourable and sensible manDEY Some people, doubtless mere zos lons than practical, require, noth ing laws than that the Britisk Go- vernment shall prohibit all deal- ings in the drug with the Chinese. Not only would such a course be a hardship to many without, at present, being much of a benefit to China, but it would be a foolish step in view of the fact that China has not acted as she, ought with reference to the Agreement..

The Situation in China. There are those who would wel- come the removal of the capital to Nanking as being more central, but it is declared that the transfer in no longer agitated by the great political parties, and that any re- porte to the contrary are purely mischievous. For our part wa see no indications of any serious rupture between the South and the North, and we can see no way in which greater political unity is to be achieved than now obtains, except by a growing, recognition on the part of the leaders of public opinion that, for some years to come, greater latitude, must be allowed to the Fresident than is consistent with the prin ciples of republicanism. Many of President Tuan Shih-Kai's actions have been already denounced a diotaterial, but it is obvious to all careful students of the situation that full-blown Republicanism, in China can only follow upon some years of rule by a benevolent antocrsoy. Chins is a Republic only in name. She has acquired the constitution, and has yet to learn how to work it. This, political education" will not be gained in a hurry.

The only apparent remedy from a British point of view for such a condi tion would be the application of similar reatriotions against Japa hese vessels, However, it is just possible that, the negotiations now going on between the Home Government and that of Japan may tend to an arrangement that will be lem a cause of friction, Mr. F.
