In the present movement in Chino, however, there appears to be nose of this hesitation or half-heartedness. The obstacles, it is true, 'ars serious enough, but they arise from the force of inertia and from the difficulties of carrying out the decrees of the Government owing to the size of the country, its decentralised condition, and lack of communications. & law was passed quite recently which pro vided for the licensing of all smokers after

· October 26th, and the Government has decided that the period of the final enforcement of the prohibition of opium shall be decreased to five years. Last month; also, a more string- ent "iant:uction was issued to all the pro vinces ordering them to report the progress of the, decoltivation of the poppy within two mostki. The Fokien Viceroy wited" to the officials of various districts, instructing them in stop the cultivation within two months; if any disobey they as to be sevarelý punished and the land under the prohibited crop is to be confiscated. The Empress Dowager intimalad! to a high official, that Chiña must act uplo the spirit and letter of her. Trasty with Great Britain dealing with the opiom question, and that no leniency should be shown to the most highly-placed smokers, otherwise it would be di@cali to force the 'common pes- ple to give up oplum, lo consequence of this a census has been taken of the number of smokers among the Imperial Clanamen with: a viaw to enforcing the Prohibition Law among them.
