OPIUM DEFENDED.
The Drug as Used In India Said tO
he Less Harmful Than Alcohol.
From the Pittsburg Dlspateh.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Few people have any idea of the vast
areas given up wholly to the cultivation
of opium. The consumption and the man
ufacture Of this drug, far from declining
are on the increase to an almost incredi-
BILE extent.
In the district of Bengal alone there are
nearly 1,000000 acres devoted exclusively to
the cultivation of the poppy. The recent
agitation in England with a view to in
ducing the British government TO no long
er encourage the opium traffic in India,
signally failed, and the bitter denuncia-
tions against the drug vented by certain
sectarian bodies have lost the weight they
carried when the truth Of the matter had
not been told.
1t is now widely believed that, taking
1t all around, opium does less harm and
more good than alcohol The reply of a
distinguished native Indian official when
questioned on this subject, is suggestive
He said the opium habit was much prefer
able to the alcoholism of America and TlI-
rope, and recommended that reform be
inaugurated in those quarters Of the globe
by the Introduction of the drug as a sub
stitute for alcohol.
The Bishop of Calcutta admits that there
are evils arising from the abuse of opium,
but is Of the opinion that they are not
sufficiently great to Justify us in restrict
ing the liberty which all men should be
permitted TO exercise in such matters.
Medical testimony seems to show that
opium used in moderation Is in this coun-
try harmless, and under certain conditions
of life distinctly beneficial"
Moissan finds that the Chinese do not
smoke crude opium, but preparation of
It called chandu, which, when heated to
about go degrees. produces a smoke form

a SCHEME TO SEIZE THE RALEIGH.
Texan FiIibusters said to Have Had
Plan to Capture the Cruiser.


Galveston, Tex, May 3.-The Tribune
this morning published an article stating
that a boat left here last night loaded
with arms and ammunition for the insur-
gents in Cuba, making the sixth expedi-
ton that has SO far left this port. The ar
ticle also says that the expeditions are
backed by a local banker, who has car
goes of arms and ammunition taken out
of Galveston and Sabine Pass and trans
fers them to a vessel which lies near by
for transportation TO Cuba.
Continuing, the article says: Some
months ago it was reported that the Uni
ted States cruiser, Raleigh, would be here;
the day of her arrival, even, was reported.
It may seem like a gilded lie. but it is a
fact all the same. that an attempt would
have been made to capture the cruiser
off the bar by 800 Texans, enlisted in the
Cuban cause. The plan was to go to sea,
run down the northern coast of Cuba, cap
ture a mail steamer and leave the Raj
eigh to her commander.
1t was a brilliant plan; and, fOolhardy
as ii may appear, had more chance of
success than failure in it. 1t miscarried
because the Raleigh did not come here"
