at yesterday's meeting of the Legislative Council to what was said on the subject by Hia Ex. callency a fortnight ago. We understand that a few mouthe ago the present Opiam Farmers offered, when their agreement expires in March next, to continue the Farm at a rental equivalent 10 $1,750,000 & year, dondition that the agreement could be terminated by either" side at any time on two months' notice being given. The figure named represents an incres of six 'nku Eko as the present eual; but tie tavernment has preferred to put forward a pro- posal to abolish the firm system, and run the opium business t'em- selves, while they estimate a lower revenue than the Opium Farmera' offer represents. It is a note- worthy -fact-and one to which the attention of the Anti-Opium Society st horne migh usefully be drawn-that protests. on moral ground against the Colonial Governmen directly setting up in business Se opium dealers have been entirely lacking.

Sir Francis Fog stated that the conclusion. had been arrived at as a result of preliminary work and geologiesl investigations, that the strata which could be encountered would not present defficulties of an in:. earmountable character..
