The Opium Trade

New York, 1S.-The iS:tn: There are
western politicians and editors who take
exception to the slight concession made
to China in the opium laws Of the new
treaty, which prohibits a citizen Of the
United States from engaging in the
opium traffic through China ports.
Their argument is that it is an injury to
the prosperity and business Of American
citizens 10 prohibit them from taking
part in lhe opium trade, gnd that this
ought not to be the case in return for the
limitation Of Chinese Immigration. The
main point here happens to be that there
is no foundation for it. The opium i'm
ported into the United States for medici-
nal purposes comes from Indian porte.
and that imp ,rted into China passes
chiefly through the hands of British sub
jects, under the protection of English
arms. Few or no Americans sre en-
gagged in the trade. Lastly, so much Of
the drug as is brought to the United
States for smoking is imported wholly by
Chinese frmS.

Arrests.

St. Petersburg, Is 1t Is stated that
The Gar desires to have chancellor To
direct the administration OF foreign az
fairs. Prince Orloff aud Gen. IgnatietI
are mentioned in this connection.
Several editors have been summoned
before the press censOrwhO requested them
to refrain from uttersnces calculated to
excite public opinion.
The ground dug up where the mine
wss discovered, has been refill d, and the
doors Of the store in which the mouth
was situatsd, are guarded. IL has been
decided to erect . religious memeRto
upon the spot where the Gar was killed.
One of the chief organizers Of the plot,
captured two days Before the Assassina-
ton, confessed after the deed was accom-
plished, and so deeply incensed RoussH-
koff that be also confessed, and de-
nCunced his accomplices, hence the ar
rests Monday and Tuesday, and the dis
covery of :he mine. Many revolutionary
proclsmslions have been found posted
inside and outside the public buildings.
The NoUTe HTemgG says the Russian
authorities were advised several months
sgo that nihilists from Chicsgo, Illinois,
had re-entered the country.
The minister Of foreign affairs addresses
the following circular to Russisn repre-
sentatives abroad: His majesty, the
Emperor, on ascending the trone OF his
ancestors, assumes as an inheritance lhe
traditions consecrated by time and their
acts Russia has now attained her full
development. Feelings Of jealousy and
discomfort are equally foreign to her. The
Emperor will first give attention to the
internal development of the stste. Tie
foreign policy will be
entirely pacific Russia will re-
main faithful to her friends, exercise
reciprocal friendship with all states and
act in common with other governments
in maintaining general peace. Only the |
duty Of protecting her honor or security |
may divert her from the work of internal |
or external development. The Emperor |
will endeaver TO strengthen her DO yer, |
advance her welfare and secure her pros |
perity without detriment TO others.
4 hose are the principles by which the
policy of the Emperor will invariably be |
guided. The Emperor charges you to |

to which you are accredited, |

A Curiosity i'm the Smithsonian.

One sees many curious things
while strolling through the Smith
sonian institution. In one of the
cases there is small, irregular piece
of mating, about six inches long
and two or three wide. 1t is made
OF the bark of the southern cane, and
although coarse when compared
with the mating made by the Chi
nese, it is well and neatly made.
This small piece Of mans handi-
work might form the basis for
treatises and lectures innumerable.
1t was found on Petit Anse island,
near Vermillion bay, coast of Louis
lana. This island contains a mine Of
rock salt, which was discovered dur
ing the late war, and which seems to
be unlimited i'm depth and extent.
Not far from the surface of the salt
the piece Of mating was discovered,
and it was probably preserved by
the salt. Two feet above the mat
ting were found the tusks and bones
of an elephant, and these bones were
fourteen feet below the present sur
face of the soil. The question ire
sistibly arises, how many years has
it been since elephants lived upon
this continent, and what race of men
capable of manufacturing such mat
ting, lived and flourished hundreds
of years before them P Washington
Republican.
