Over Twenty Thousand Dollars Worth
Found on the China.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-Deputy Sur
veyor GasIeil made seizure this after
noon of twelve hundred pounds of opium,
valued at twenty-five thousand dollars.
The opium was found concealed on the
steamship China. which arrived here sew
eral days ago, but has been in quarantine
ever since. The owners of the opium
claim that it was not meant for entry
here. but was to be sent to Mexico.
When the China arrived from Hong
Kong last Saturday, she had in her cargo
forty cases invoiced to Albert Marks of
this city. The cases We're supposed to
contain crockery, and were valued at So.
When the vessel was searched to-day
the weight of these boxes attracted atten-
ton, and on examination one was found
to contain opium. The whole lot was
then taken to the Custom House, ard
half of the boxes were found to be filled
with lai yuen opium. In all there were
2,340 five-teal boxes.
Albert Meyers name is not in the
Directory, and it is believed that he is a
fictitious parsonage. The bill of lading
states that the boxes were intended for
Mexico, but this seems to have been
simply a blind to prevent suspicion, as
the bonding formalities were not COM
piled with.

Examination of the Executive Board of the
united Mine Workers and Presidents of
State organizations to defer the strike in
the interest Of the eight-hour labor day
does not seem to have definitely settled
the question even amony the miners of
Ohio. The Executive Board made a
proposition to the Ohio operators to con-
tinue at the old rate for mining, and
accept nine hours day for the coming
year, commencing tomorrow The
operators refuse to accept it, unless they
can have assurance that the agreement
will not embarrass them to such extent
that competing fields like Illinois and
Pennsylvania will beat them in the
. market. The Ohio miners also convened
this morning, and are considering the
matter Some of the miner DELEGATES

pointed over the action of the Executive
Board in postponing the strike for eight

they will make good impression on
the minds of their American co-religion-
lists goes without the saying.
To speak Of all of them individually Is
scarcely necessary now, but among
them there is one who holds position
among his fellows of England that is so
commanding and among churchmen
generally is SO unique that one Is
tempted to speak of him at length.
Besides, his American trip is not
alone to attend the Methodist council,
but also Cor another very important
purpose, and to prosecute mission in
which all Methodism may well be in
terested.
The name of this delegate is Rev.
Hugh Price Hughes, N. A., and a very
able man he is and very interesting
one withal. Americans may not know
much about that name yet, but they
will before long. for Mr.. Hughes is to
make tour Of the United States, lee

not stir some dry bones up those who
know him will be hugely disappointed.

In answer TO the latter question it
