MA Walnawright-Neither of the three pro- ducing apy opium, nor ever likely to, eh?

H.E. Li. Quite so. It's easy to be altruistic at times, isn't it? Three or four years later daring our quarrel with France, you remember, circumstances had changed somewhat; the American flag re-appeared for a time on the China coast, and under its benign protection chests of opium reposed as safely, as they did 'peath that of the Union Jack. Nobody said anything,

Mr. Wainwright-What was your chief boss of contention with the British is regard to opium?

H.E. Li-That we could nevar moet on a common ground. We stood on the maral, England on the fiscal....

Mr. Wainewright-You were for precept, ebs for practica. That's rather typical of the two countries, don't you thigh?.. Might I ask who ther Mr. Young was on your side or the others whether Young's "Night Thoughts," au 1 might call them, were pro-British or pro-Chinese?

Mr. John Russell Young-They were neither,

Mr. Gladstons: - I bardly follow your Excel- fency as yet.

1 kept my Government well posted with the | men -N G. D. Near, de arguments on both sides, but the most intimate of what Mr. Wainwright calls my "Night Thoughts" was summed up in one sentence as follows:The principal argument-in-favoor- of the opium trade, is that the Chinese will smoke it, and that the habit cannot be eradicat. od." That was unquestionably trus, of the time. 1 fotber urged upaa H.E. Li that Chica should convince the world that she was

in her dislike to opiem by trying to control the consumption.

Mr. Wainewright,-(to H.E. Li.) Excellen! advice. Did you follow (?

II.E. Li.On the contrary. Our people did all they could to increase the home production, and the provincial authorities reaped a rich harvest in fees and squenta."

Mr. Wainewright-You were acquainted with the Decansial Reports issued by the I.G. and covering this period,······

H.E. LI. My secretaries knew them well. Mr. Wainewright. What did they tell of the growth of the poppy in China?

H.E. Li-Each Commissioner at the Treaty. Parts wrote of his own knowledge and ex; perience. Newchwing reported little foreign opium, but extensive cultivation all through Manchuria. Chefoo said that the poppy was taking the place of grala Chungking told of tens of thousands of piculs of opium produced in that province alone, where it was reported that the drug was growing in quantity, quality and cheapness year by yeat. Iching knew of twelve places in that one prefecture, where the poppy was being cultivated. At Hankow, 70 per cent of the amount used wis: native, Hones; Anbul (my own native province), and Kiangsu all reported large increases. In fact it was the same almost everywhere. Ons Commissioner expatiated on the beautiful sight which a flowering field of poppies presents.

Mr. Wainwright-You had no doubt as to the truth of these reports?

H.E. LI-None whatever. Our complaint against them was that they were 103 true, 100 fall, and too public
