OF the Drug.

Special Cable Despatch TO TIE SUN.
MANILA. July s.-The Philippine Com
mission held another open session to-day
on the opium bill which seeks to regulate
the traffic in that drug in the Philippines.
The commission introduced a substitute
bill prohibiting the sale or use OF opium
In the Philippines except on a physician g
certificate and limiting its possession in
storage to pharmacists.
This led to a long discussion. The ma
iority Of the speakers, including Chinese
monopohsts from Singapore and Hong
Kong, rged the adoption Of the original bill
providing for the sale Of the privilege to
a monopoly and limiting the use OF the
drug to the Chinese in the Philippines,
Exhaustive statistics which were submitted
proved that there has been an alarming
increase in the use OF the drug by the Fill
pinos since the abolition Of the Spanish
monopoly. Abundant evidence was sub
mitted to prove that the habit is spreading
There have been many signatures TO the
protest against the opium bill circulated
by the Chinese Chamber OF Commerce and
fathered by the Evangelical Union and
the Rev. Mr.. Stukz. This protest is in the
nature OF q recommendation that the ORR
pinal bill DO defeated. 1t was charged
Yesterday that the Chinese Chamber, which
controls the Importation Of the drug, was
anxious to have matters remain In their
present condition.
The most prominent importers are APP
parently convinced that any prohibition
will be ineffective and that there will be an
opening by which they can increase their
sales In spite Of the severest restrictions.
Commissioner Smith again charged the
editors Of three newspapers who teie-
graphed protest against the bill to Wash
ington with desire to deceive President
Roosevelt and the American people.
The commission will delay action on the
question indefinitely. pending a further
study Of the entire matter.

legislation proposed by the Philippine
Commission to grant a franchise for the

pine Islands.
The bill pending before the Philippine
Commission limits the sale of opium to
full-blooded Chinese, and PROVIDES that
the revenue from the sale Of the oonces-
sion shall be- used for educational pur-
poses. Bishop Thoburn argued against
the proposed law and In favor OF prohibit
