THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA

CHINA TO BUY OPIUM }

The Peking Daily News believes that a proposal in being mooted for China to purchase all stocks of opium at the Treaty Ports and with it to establish a Govora ment opinm monopoly. The Peking Daily News sags that this would place China in the anomalous position of enforcing opium suppression laws while interested in finding a sale for large stocks of Indian opium. The nowspaper considers that the only basis upon which the existing stocks of opium can be disposed of is re-exports

tion.

TAE VIRTUES OF THE LATE DOWAGER EMPRESS. The Peking Jih-pao refers to the late Dowager-Empress as the wife of Kuang-

su, an Emperor who failed to carry out his excellent projects for reform owing to the strong opposition he encountered and died of disappointment prior to the Dowager-Empress. His memory, enys the Jih-pao, is still dear to the people of China, The late Empress was never Rogent and, therefors, had no hand in the corruptions and bad government which brought about the downfall of the Ching Dynasty. The virtue of the Dowager Empress in consummating the Chinese Republic constitutes nover-to-be forgotten merit and her reputation will be handed down to posterity with grati- tude. She has now passed to the Regions of Glory, but we cannot help giving **- tho pression to our sorrow for not having privilege of showing our appreciation by according her honourable treatment. The Jih-pas continues, "Both the late Era peror and Empress were of unpolluted character. The great reform movement and the Abdication, Edict will be great memories in the minds of the peop They will be great monuments of virtues until the end of ages. We should like to point out that our culogy differe from eulogies written of emperors while dynasties existed. The Ching Dynasty Emperor has gone for ever, but as the late and Empress were in nowise responsible for the events which led to the downfall of the Manchus their forefathers long passed away will sympathise with them. hope the Princes will forsake all pre judices and, being edified by the virtues of their late Majesties, will help to con- solidate the five races. Thus the spirits of these virtuous ones will be comforted

in Heaven."

INTERESTING, BITUATION IN KIANGSI. A little more light is at lengths being thrown upon the real cause of the trouble between Li Tutuh at Nanchang and the Central Government, The whole truth may not yet, however, have been revealed. It seems that Li Tutub has long since recognised Wong Shui-kaj as an able and experienced official, for he had held the offices of Taotsi at Kiukiang and Provin- eibl Judge at Nanchang; besides, Li Tutuh has been the recipient of many favours shown him by Wong.

In consequence of this Li Tutuh tried repeatedly to secure the services of Wong at Nanchang, It is claimed that he sent no less than eight messages by telegraph, asking Wong to come and assist him in the alfairs of Government. When, how- ever, Wong Shui-Eai came to Nanchang it was not at Li Tutuh's request, but by a peremptory order from the Central

Government.

Upon arrival he announced himself, not as Li Tatah's assistant, but as Civil Governor of Kiangsi, which meant the divesting of Li Tutuh of alt civil authority in the Province. This put Li Tutuh on This mettle and he said to his former friend, "Eight times I have asked you to come and assist me, and eight times you refused my offer. Now you are refused."

94.1].

Li Tutuh then began to strengthen his position against the would-be Civil Governor and ordered 7,000 rifles and anmunition. When these were confiscated at Klukiang, he hastily sent soldiers to various localities near by. These rifles are still the bone of contention. During the first week of February four men passed through Kiukiang en route for Nanchang to consult with Li Tutuh. Two of these men were sent by the Central Government and the other two by General Li Yuan-hung- They have not yet re turned, and the result of their mission is unknown.

A few days ago Li Tutuh had a signment of cloth, sufficient to make 20,000 uniforms for his soldiers, sent from Shanghai,

(15)-Future arrangements.

The International Reform Bareau on February 24th received a telegram from the Governor of Fukien as follows:

'In answer to your telegram, we recognise that failure to suppress opium cultivation would disgrace China and seriously affect her foreign relations, in: addition to terribly harming the people, The matter of suppression in Haingawa is difficult, as the rebels are strong, but! General Sun is doing his best. Already several thousands of acres of poppy hav bom ronted up and the remaining areas are steadily being rooted up, while num- bors of rebels have been killed or captured. In many villages the people, recognising the Government's determina- tion, are now rooting up the poppy themselves.

The troops will continue, without, relaxation, the work of destroy- ing the poppy, which is daily becoming easier owing to the dispersing or death of the rebels-(Signed) Su Turu.

EATING WAS DISTASTEFUL

TO THIS MANI. TER HAD INDIGESTION, SLEEPLESSNESS, PAINS AFTER EATING, BUT MOTHER SEIGEL'S SYRUP CURED HIN,

Very frequently, one of the commonest and one of the earliest symptoms of a dis- ordered state of the stomach is distaste for food. At such a time even the best cooked and the most attractive fare will The to tempt the flagging appetite and depressed, perhaps nibbles a little at sufferer simply sits at the table, woebegone some toothsome.dainty, but as for making a good square meal, he simply can't do it. Has not the cause of many a little rift in the lute of family happiness beon hidden in this very distaste for food! Are not thousands of women bitterly dis- appointed, time and time again, when some specially prepared meal is left unh touched? You know they are 1 Distaste for food, and loss of appetite, as we have said, are usually due to indigestion. Therefore indigestion, you see, may some- times tend to destroy happiness as well as good health, Again, if indigestion is not checked in its early stages it may lead to worse things. Biliousness, headaches, constipation, flatulence, insomnia, pains after eating, languor, and depression, are signs of its presence. If you have one or more of these distressing symptoms Mother Saigel's Syrup will remove them and make you well and strong again. Don't let stomach and liver troubles bring you to a condition of lowered vitality, for then the hotly system is less able to with- stand the attacks of disease. Take Mother Seigel's Syrup in time, and keep your health unarmed, t

The following letter furnishes con- vincing proof of the misery that may be caused by indigestion, and of the way. In which Mother Seigel's Syrup removes and prevents that dangerous complaint: Mr.
