If the acts were not brought home to Benavides, they might come under some of the the dispensaries. The dispensarice do ten times other issues. So much for No. 1 to No. 6. The more trade in these miscellaneous narcoties than seventh issue was-11 fitted at all, was it with the the injection divans, and so the original idea of cwners' knowledge or consent?

Mr. Ray objected tower fittings when the Nam Wo took the ship, on questions on the subject as the answers "might tead to criminate him" but the manager of the Nam Wo told all about it. This reservation, it was suggested, must have been on behalf of Benavides, and therefore that Benavides was That at the bottom of the sırangement. gentleman denied, but Lavandeira had hip arrived, left Hongkong before the but there was no record of what arrangements ho made before leaving: and Benavides sald Lavandeira had very wide sutherity. It was for the jury to consider whether Lavandeirs and Ray could have settled everything without Benavides having to do anything. Of course, there was also the question suggested by the Attorney-General as to whether Benavides told the truth in that matter. It was rather strange that the Nam Wo and the captain and others should know so file of several matters asked them but possibly that was because they had particular reason for wishing not to know.

The next question li as to extending the legal defintion of open so as to coral opiates and all preparations of any sort in which aplom or morphine actually exists.

In this matter, of course, it is almost impossible for the Government to enter into consideration of the questions (1) whether oplom is or is not an evil, and (3) whether these alleged cures are bond de effecitve. The Government policy and always has been to recognise and regulate the opium trade; and unless the Exeter Hall fanatical busybodles get control of the British Parliament, that will always continue to be the polley of the Colonial Government.

advantages in a reasonable way is, of course, laudable achievement that no sane man will deny, and what all business men will

will expect. But the price of such advantages is at present attained by the loss of their countrymen's lives, which are being sacrificed to international jealousies and sharp practices; and it is for the foreigners that are dotted about in small knots and groups, to say if this price is not too dear, and the present policy (as expensive in blood and peace of mind.

The public (foreign) apiclon in the country, unable to make itself heart by other channels, should find expression through the columns of the foreign Press, and insist on the Codlin and Short method being dropped forthwith by their respective representatives at Peking.

If the truth regarding the, removal of the Korean Customs Chief Com missiouers, Schenicke and Morgan, were written, we rather fancy the Chinese wire-pullers in Tientala and Scool would be found to have had much more to do with these gentlemen's disappearance from Korea than illness, or any other came.

Mr. Reece stated that. Mr. Marinburk held three proxies, which with those present made spa fullquorum under the Antities; in the second place

the Articles did not require a quorum för zu adjourned meeting; and in the third place, as Mr. Francis said at the last meeting, probably the articles did not apply to meeting of this sort, in conacciton with winding-up." He pre- tested rainst on adjournment new.

The Chairman (af er long consultation with Mr. Deacon) mentioned that the three proxies Aiven to Mr. Marinbork had been withdrawn. Had the attendance been reasonably large, he would have gladly proceeded with the business, but this was not lo any sense a representative mecting of shareholders. Consequently the meeting must be adjourned sine dit,"

The lessons of the forties and the sixties havO been forgotten and ibelt memories require to be renewed by a still severer chastisement. In the nineties, that must be made final and complete. Such lesson can be administered, not by insig sificant indemnitles to the relatives of foreigners they have done to death, but by musket and bayonet. Steel, not silver, mast be the metal used in such settlements, and the outcome would be infinitely more advantageous to all foreigners concerned than the Codlin and Short policy that is now coating them so much blood and "face."-

Therefore plain language is not the other hand, an extended Oplum Ordinance, only advisable but Imperative. to laclude in the Farm monopoly all pro ducts, compounds, derivatives or all drugs in whose production opium is used-such a law would fall heavily on the dispensaries; if the dispensaries were "let sat" by a saving the monopoly all clause excluding from bona fide medicinal uses of such drugs, then again the Farmer's trade rivale would urge that they are bona fida engaged in curing a real dis- ease-in which certainly the evidence is clearly not all against them. Of course, it is urged that confirmed drunkard, an opium smoker, like always deales being a victim of any such falling and so the alleged "cures" may not be real; but that is not a very material point. There is no doubt that; in Individual cases at all events, if not a general rule, opium smokers are

So, therefore, the Government is confronted with the fact that, although they may stop wholesale trade at the dispensaries feszter domestic use, they cannel, of course, interfere with the medical nie; and that difficulty is sure to give a loop-hole through which the Farm's gains will disappear as before.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

August 15th, 1893. There are evidences that serial life in Amoy is slewly but surely developing more healthy tendencies, and the line which hitherto existed between the foreign and native divisions of the community is happily paling away. The prin- cipal, and perhaps the most pleasint, features of the New Condilon are the "At Homes," "Afternoon Parties" and grand dinners given by Europeans to Chineza and vice versa. This than it should be, and if the policy is adhered to and practised generally by the "Strangers of the Stay it will without doubt be heartily reciprocated by the sons of Han and then, what more perfect spot to dwell Mr. Reece:- I ask you to note my protest-on than the foland of Kelangan!
