the treaty signed between China and the
United States, the despatch which we pub
lisned yesterday from our correspondent at
Shanghai possesses great interest. 1t seems
that the American commissioner. have agreed
10 prohibit Americans from engaging in the
introduction of opirm into China. This is
small matter on its face, but q. the same

much interest in the opium trade. 1t hiss

part OF tho Indian revenue il paid b,
China in the shape If taxes on the opium

how Engl nd could govern India without
the revenue from opium. The Chinese have
been striving for years to prohibit the intro.
ducton of Indian opium, and while here il,
no doubt, n strong sentiment in England

from opium England has engaged in wsr.
The Japanese have successfully prevented the
introduction of this pernicious drug, AL
though the English have, within the last few
years, tried every means 10 force the M TO
admit it. Now, if the Americans, among
the treaty nations, lead of with an agreement
to respect tho Chinese municipal laws

enough to fight, and can only protest ana

and which is prompt sld manly when
aroused. Of cour e the English may say that
the Americans axe givilg up something upon
which they set no valle. But tho moral ex-

Carried Her Point.

About a year ago, M. j. Cahill
editor of the Pilot (Chicago), placed
his four daughters, May, Caddy, Clara
and Maud, in charge of the Gray
Nuns, Buffalo, N. Y, with instruc-
tons to protect them and to give at
tention to their education. He did
not conceal the fact that he was led to
do this because he was unable to live
with his wife, and was about to be
divorced from her. On Sunday even
ing a plainly dressed lady at the Pal
ace hotel asked the clerk to provide
her with a carriage, as she was about
to remove her children from the
Academy of Holy Angels.
Telling the driver to wait at
the gate, the lady entered the
grounds, found the children in an
arbor, confronted the sister in charge
and said she was their mother, and
proposed to take them away, Know
ing the circumstances under which
they had been placed at the academy,
the sister quickly realized that this
was to be an abduction. The woman
then cody drew a revolver from her
pocket and threatened to shoot any
one who interfered with her. This
created a panic among the pupils. who
scampered out of harms way, except
May, Caddy, Clara and Maud Cahiil.
who seemed willing enough to obey
their mother. Keeping Sister St.
Stephen covered with the revolver,
Mrs. Cahill beat a lively retreat to the
street with her little ones, and, reach.
ing the carriage, hurried them into it.
The carriage was driven rapidly away.
