Hlis Lajesty's Government observe with regret that the

Uttoman Governsent persevere in their refusal to sign the

Convention, but it appears to them that it might be

possible to induse that Government to waive its objectiona

drugs is affected. It is understood that the ittamN

Government is reluctant to lose the important source of
