CHAN PIK DENOUNCED.

ACCUSED OF MALPRACTICES. CTICES.

{By courtesy of the “Sheung PD.""]

Peking, 27th January. H.E. Chün Pik, president of the Ministry of Posts and Comunica tions, was denounced for having, na it is alleged, received bribes during his sojourn in the South.

Sun Ku-wei and Na Tung, who were alleged to conduct an inquiry into the alleged charges, have taken great pains over the investigation.

There appears to be but little hope of Chan Pik emerging suc- cessfully through the ordeal; but Loung Si-yi may be exonerated.

Kwan Kang-lun und Leung King cheung have been found guilty of malpractices.

ALLEGED EMBR22ŁEMENT.

SERIOUS CHAROZ AGAINST SHROTY,

The case in which Wong Chun Man, a shroff in the employ of Marty & Co., was charged the other day with the alleged larceny of 51,321, the property of Chs Mo In, compradore to Marty & Co., came on for hearing before Mr. J. R. Wood, Second Police Magistrate, at the Magistracy this afternoon. The charge was altared from Idresy to one of embezzlement,

Detective-Sergenot Terrell watched the cate on behalf of the Police, while the defendant was undelunded.

MORE ABOUT OPIUM.

A HOUSEHOLD REMEDY PROHIBITION OR EDUCATION. When we come to consider the 'ovidence ad. duced by the Opium Commission from the. point of view of the beneficiat, use of the drug we find that the instances in which that is alleged cannot be classed as few and far be tween; in fact a generál review of the evidence would seam to place opium in its beneficial sense on a higher pisne than alcohol. It is a not unusual and not unreasonable thing to find medical men recommending patients, in certain Lo Cheung, master of the Hop Hing Loong conditions of malaise that is quite apart from firm, was the first witness to be called to the box cases of algency where the alerhol la adminis to give evidence. He said that he carried on tered merely for temporary effect to take knew the defendahl. He aino knew Marty's quantity. There is of course the minority business' at 266, Des Voeux Road West, Healcohol in some form and in some defined compradore, with whom he bad business deal school who would never recommend it ander habit of receiving money on behalf of Marty & body of practitioners find it a very useful aid in logs for over ten years. Defendnut was in the any circumstances, but we take it the general Co. for about two or three years. Witness restoring bestb and energies under certain kept account books showing the amounts paid conditions. Much the to Marty & Co. (Books produced). Witness: evidence went to show that some time last into Marty & Co., for which, receipts were year, three entries were made of money paid subsequently given. The three entries taken together toalled 31,321.

A curious contratemy occurred while the proceedings were still in progress. Mr. Smith, who was to have defended the alleged em.. beziler when the case first came up, was sur as he thought it was decided to be dropped, prised to find that the case had beco taken up,

Mr. Smith, who walked into the Court while the witness' evidence was being taken, said:

understand that the case was to be dropped, and consequently, nothing has been done. I think it is hardly fair that the case should go on now,"

Mr. Wood-It is perfectly fair. I decida that the case should go on...

After further evidence was taken, the case was remanded till 2.15 to-morrow afternoon,

A FILIPÍÑO SQUABBLE.

Manuel Gonialez, residing at ar, Wing Lee Street, aued Antonio Rosco, of the Horgkeng Cinematograph, to recover the sum of $70, alleged to be doe to bim for board and lodging from 1st April to 19th December last,

SAME MAY DE SAID OF OPIUM, with this difference, that if we disregard consideration from our medical standpoint, then the ordinary Chinese doctor as not being wonth

the use of opium in cases of malaise is a use dictated by common knowledge of its medicinal virtues, and it is taken for that reason in a great many more cases than would be thought. Thus oa examination wo find such witnesses as Drs.

Leask, Gibbs, Serle, M. J. Wright saying that a good number of people begin to use it on

account of illness. Dr. Boon Keng says it is recommended by Chinese doctors to relieve pleurisy, dyspepsin, commencing phthisin," and adds that "medically there are no evils to be observed from the use until the person gets to the stage when he cannot do without it." That is a point we will return to later. The Rev. J. A. B. Cook says that often cooliès "come bare with stomach-ache" and find relief, by taking it, and so contract the habit. Dr. Luering goes even farther; he affirms, that "It has become, a household remedy, Mr. Tan Teck Soon says that in his father's time it was the "common re- medy for almost any ailment." Mr. Saab Liang Seah says that in Johore and up-coup. try districts "they can not obtain proper

Many other wituossen testify to its Court, this morning,

VIRTUE IN MALARIA CASES, where it is taken in much the same way as Europeans would take quinine, and concrete examples are given where opium taken under medical direction and continued, bas done much to cure and alleviate distressing com- plaists........Io fast a careful analysis of the evid- ence on this point shows that to do away with opium suddenly, would put great numbers of Chinese in the position of Europeans, sudden. ly deprived of all such drugs as quinios, chlorodyns or poy of the variants of those which are commonly administered in the more frequent fever and stomach illnesses-which are so common in the tropics.

Mr. Oito Kong Sing was for the plaiátíf, and Mr Crowther Smith" for the defendant..

Rtiefly, the plaintiff's case was that defendant and his wife went to five in his house in April, the price arranged being Sto par moat. The couple left in December without paying.

The defendant's story was that he and his when they left off sleeping in the house the sum wife lived with plaintiff for sice months and

of Soo was given to plaintiff. On the 31st Decem- ber defendant decided to leave the place altoge ther. He sent a friend with $10 (all he owed to plaintiff) with orders to get his boxes. The plaintiff, however, refnued toʻgive up his pro- perty. That same afternoon" plaintiff and his wife, wept to defendant's flat and abused him, He left the house and went to the cinemato Raph, but the plaintiff stopped him in the street, saying that he would not allow defend- not to go another hity yards. Plaintiff's wife' was not present then. Defendant complained to his employer, who requested bim to pay what he owed and to save further trouble, Next day defendant went to the house with an

He has applied to the Prince Regent in person for leave to retire. His Imperial Highness has, how ever, urged him not to do so, saying that he can take his rest as and when he pleases without formally applying for leave.

MANY CONTRACIS..

ERECTING CRabes at KOWLOON CAUSE FOR ACTION.

An interesting action between two contract ors was brought before Mr. Justice Gompertz, in the Summary Jurisdiction Court'to-day.

Chung San Wa, carrying on business at 191, Quoca's Road East, brought a claim against the Lan Chai Company, 68, Des Voeux Road Central, to recover $77, balance, it was alleged, for work done.

The plaintiff was represented by. Mr. Leo 'Almada Castro. Mr. Crowther Smith was for the defendant firm.

Cross-examined, defendant said that on 29th December be owed plaintifs. $10, which was not de till the 31st. The reason why plaintif troubled him before the end of the mouth was because

he was leaving the house. He did not pawn his clothes to pay the bill. He was getting only $5 at the Cinematograph. Since August he had earned $75, and in order to pay the Soe to plaintiff he had to borrow the balance from Paicheko of the Post Office.

Mr. Kong Bing-Whas these people refused, to give your boxes you took a policeman there? ---Yti.

And the policeman advised them to give you back your properly and you to pay them the Ssa?--Yes.

Have you any receipts for the money you alleged you paid to the plaintif?-He never gave me any.

there was there any definite sum agreed on

Mr, Justice Gompertz --When you first went

~~$10-everybody paid $10.

You mean to say there were other people thera? -Yes.

But to return to the point left. a little while ago. Dr; Boon Keng decries medically po evils until the point is reached when "opium cannot be done without", Now that point is PHYSICALLY, PRACTICALLY NEVER REACHED, and we have no hesitation in asserting this in view of the evidence given by those in charge of lastitutions where opium is forbidden. In the jails and large pauper hospitals opium is forbiddes, and what do we find happens when opium smokers are sent to these places?.

***Ordinary smokors take two or three days to get over the craving," "heavy smokers two or three weeks." "Seldom have to give any thing to help, unless sometimes to stop diar

shoca," "Men soon get on to full work in jail

after being stopped," and their health does not break down. And this is the general tone of the evidence. When opium cannot be got, the deprivation under healthy circumstances such as prevail in hospitals and gaols is felt only

temporarily, and has practically, no effect co general health; that is of course excluding cases of excess which the Commission says are only isolated instances. We thus come again to the old ground ; this is only

A MATTER OF individual WILL and it is here that the majority who are tem perate, are to be sacrificed for the minority who cannot restrain themselves. For the latter the

establishment of carative homes and the gen- eral propaganda of temperance might well bo undertaken by the Chinese themselves, bat they show a very faint heart when it comes to doing anything practical in the matter, and they have not proved yet that they are prepared

conquering what they term the "evil." In fact to assist the people to any sensible extent in

the Chinese as a whole go na farther than polite generalisations, and inasmuch as they admit that alcohol, gambling, prostitution, etc. are all great evils they admit the sims of the opium but they have put out only

or wealth in an endeavour to stop any of these evils. There is for instance absplutely no com- parison between the strength of the temperance and teetotal agitation at home, and the anti. opium agitation bore. In fact until the agits tion was got up in England, the Chinese gea.. arally never stirred a finger to help the millions of their fellow countrymen out at this Slough of Despond. Admitted that conviction must have a beginning, but the practical workings of that conviction are in ible case so minute, that one may well be ex- cuted for doubting whether it would be sufficient to bring about the smallest general self-sacrifice. All this wanders somewhat from
