are thereby made the vicarious victims of the Canton provincial officials. According to a local authority od oplum affairs; the offici- als feel they are strengthened in their action by the doings of the select few in Parliament who are clamouring for the suppression of the trade in opium. All the parliamentary discussions on the subject and many of the newspaper comments on the evils of opium are translated into Chinese and published in the vernacular press, which is diligent ly perused by the officials, The out- come of their reading is that the opium traffic is under a ban imposed by the British Government and that being so they consider that they have been dealt a royal flush and refuse to yield to any ropre tentations made on behalf of British ia porters by the Consul-General or even by the British Minister at Peking. British mer chants are, however, entitled to reap what ever benefits they are entitled to under the yeaties with China, which embody the pridciple that got a single chest of opium shall be up for sale without the Chinese suthorities securing for the British dealers an unhindered outlet for their goods. Plain ly that right is rendered nugatory when the buyers are so barassed by official meddlers that they deem it the only plan to cease a trade, which, it may be assumed, is profit able to all the participants. The same difficulties are being experienced in Nan king and Hankow which obtain their supplies of the foreign product from Shanghai but we are still in the dark regarding the steps that are being taken by the British merchants in the Northern Settlements, although it is not to be believed that they will take the blow lying down. Meanwhile, as the officials at Canton are running their heads against a brick wall, the consequences be on them selves.
QUEEN WILHALMINA'S.
BIRTHDAY.
(31st August.) Amid the thunder of cannon the birthday of Her Gracious Majesty Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was celebrated in Hong kong at noon to-day, when all the warships in the harbour joined with the Dutch squa- dron in honouring the occasion. Much has occurs since last the royal salute was fired in honour of Her Majesty's natal day, for within that period the history of the Netherlands has been changed by the advent of Princess who has already captured the hearts of her future subjects. Since Queen Wilhelmina ascended the throne, the sturdy and fadependent burg. hers, descendants of the men who defied the might of Spain and France, who sent rover to the Arpfic when Polar expeditions had. not becole an elaborate holiday excur sion, have kept a warm place in their hearts for the little lady who remained
