.cognizant of the fact. The citizens will
turn out this evening in torchlight pro-
cession, TO welcome the cigarmakers' train,
now en- route. The mass meeting to-nor-

the opium tiends and gamblers to quit the
town.

rival in California. Speeches of welcome
and congratulations were made by promi-
nent citizens, and the whole town was EN-
Unused

the day set for their final departure True
kee will be rid of its China curse
