Peking, October 20, 1906. OPIUM. Please see your telegrams No. 178 of the 18th instant and No. 179 of terday.

Sir Robert Hart has been consulted recently by his Excellency T'ong Shoa-Yi as to prospect of an increase of the duty on foreign opium to 150 taels a chest meeting the approval of His Majesty's Government. The idea was discouraged by the pector-General on the ground that the proposal, even if agreed to by Great Britain, ild need the consent of other Powers to be effective, and only the grant of an ivalent quid pro quo could secure this.
