Reference to section 3 of the Additional Article of the Cheloo Capvention shews that opium when covert I by Transit Certificate shall be free from the imposition of any further tax or duty while in transit through the interior, provided the packages have not been opened and the Customs seals, marks, and pubers have not been cifaced or tampered with. Now, the regulations of the Kyung Hling Company impose a sur-tax before. foreign opium arrives at the place of consumption and without regard to whether it has been unpacked or otherwise. Such a regulation is in direct opposition to the provisions of the Special Convention.

In there circumstances it beconies my duty to request your Excellency to carefully con sider the matter and issue a proclamation for the purpose of abolishing this recently imposed prepared opium tax and, further, notifying the merchants concerned that they should continue their business in the usual way, in accordance with the special provisions of the Convention, By se doing your Excellency will give evidence of desire to strengthen the bonds ni amity of bo h nations and at the same time demonstrate your determination to respect treaty rights.

the vessel is under orders to proceed to Penang, where she was expected to arrive on the 16th instant.

Of the cargo stowed in the No. 2 hald, between decks, 744 tons are estimated to be more or less criously damaged by fire or water and the upper portion of the lower hold cargo has also been found to be damaged, but as far as can be seen, only by water.
