interference with the import trade in Indian opium carried

on by British merchants at Hongkong. He regarded it as an

attempt to create a monopoly and requested that orders be

issued for its annulment.

"I find, however, after careful investigation that the

measure proposed by the Bureau is in accordance with the

regulations sanctioned by the Throne and issued by the

Goverment Council and affects the whole scheme for the

prohibition of op★um throughout the Provinces, and I cannot

therefore order its withdrawal".

We have the honour to inform Your Excellency

that the Provincial authorities of Kwangtung have acted in

accordance with the regulations for the prohibition of

opium drawn up by the Government Council and sactioned by

the Throne which direct that the number of shops selling

raw and prepared opium should be ascertained and a register

prepared, and that no more shops should be opened.

These,

measures must be enforced if the evils of opium are to be

gradually diminished year by year and finally completely

eradicated, and they differ entirely from an official mono-

poly of the sale of opium.
