OPIUM BILLS TABLED.
Philippines Commission to Investigate
e. Oriental Regulations.

T. Oriental Regulations.
Manila, July 16.-The Philippine
commission has tabled both the opium
bills. The first bill provides for the
creation of an opium monopoly in the
archipelago and it's sale to the highest
bidder. The second is a substitute
bill introduced by the committee max
ing the importation of opium unlawful
except by pharmacists and permitting
the disposal of the drug on a ply
sician's certificate. A special com
mission was appointed to visit the
Oriental countries to investigate the
regulations regarding the disposal of
opium. Afterward all the records will
be sem to Washington.
Governor Taft has c~ourageously
championed the theory of regulation
and has demonstrated that the mo-
nopoly bill meant the absolute prohibit
ton of the drug to the 100000 Fill
pinos and Moros and an effective regu-
latiop for the 100, 1000 Chinese in the
archipelago, more stringent than the
English regulations. He declared that
it was generally known that the opium
habit as practiced by nearly all Of
the Chinese was less pernicious than
whiskey drinking, and mercilessly ex-
posed the corrupt combination OF Chi
nese dealers, who were circulating
falsely signed protests and raising
money for the defeat of a legitimate
