CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT.

The Viceroy has notified all officials and the public of the adoption of a constitutional government and issued orders to all the officials to prepare to adopt the new rules.

The first step to be taken is to correct the

old habits of officers in all services and to work reforms in all villages step by step until the whole province is well under the reform movement.

Everyone'in office must at once take s'eps to prepare himself for the rigid orders which will come from the Imperial offices,

This decision has been made known; a mass meeting was subse- quently held. Amidst considerable ex-, citement a resolution was unanimous- ly adopted to the effect that the

If the initial 2,500 Chinamen prove a success, it is likely that many more will be taken to the Isthmus to do the work, which is too hard for the Jamaicans now employed there in large:

NEW OPIUM LAW IN BANGKOK.

PREVENTION OF SMUGGLING.

A new Opium Law received the royal assent on the 23rd ull., says the Bangkok Times. The preamble sets forth that there are already in force the law of the year 1233 (Chulanakarat) and the law of the year atg (R.S.), but they have not been found sufficient to check smug. gling, which is at present carried on to a large extens, having a prejudicial effect on the revenue of the country. The new law endeavours to tneet this with severer penalties.

Anyone who commits an offence against the two laws mentioned above by smuggling oplum or opium dross into the country, or by buying, Lor selling, or having in bis possession such illicit opium or opium drese, will under the new law, if the amount is under 100 tamlung, be able to a fine of three times the value of the opium seited, or to imprisonment for a perind that may vary from eight days to three months, or to both penalties. If the amount is over 100 tamlung in weight, the person convicted is to be fioed three times the value of the opium seized and imprisoned. for a period that may vary from one month to three years. The value of the opium is the price at which the Farm is selling to the people at the time. The fines go to the Government, Any one who is accessory to the commission of such offences will, on conviction, receive two-thirds of the punishment that would be allotted to one actually committing the offences. in the case of a number of people a fine sim- cerned together, then the total of the fines im posed on them may be fixed at three times the value of the opium seized and must not be less; but the fine imposed on the chief of the that imposed on each of the others must not be offenders must not be less than Tes, too, and less than Tes. 66. to the case of a man con- victed within three years after a previous con- viction, the perind of imprisonment is to be from three months to five years. Another section deals with the case of informant, and the concluding section entrusts the carrying out of the law to the Ministers of Finance, the Interior, Justice, and Local Government,
