LONDON OPIUM D
VISIT TO A SECRET RESORT
THE ENGLISH CITY.
The Pipe Dreams INDUCED In Ami
Surroundings Most Unattractive
Manner in Which the
Smokers Take Drug.

The Chinaman may have his pipe
dreams in the heart of London, but ne
does not speak the matter aloud. Lon
don oficialdom will deny that the op-
portunity exists in the great city.
Its a difficult thing for a white man
to gain entrance to the place where
the opium smokers gather for their
orgy. 1t is nothing like the ease with
which such a desire can be accom-
plished in, for instance, San Francis
co Chinatown. The English, when 1t
comes to having opium in their own
land, are highly virtuous.
We shall tell the experiences of one
white man that succeeded, by means of
an Oriental servant, in getting q
glance at the workings of a London
opium joint. When he entered the
bower regions, given over to- ordihary
commerce that the goings-on above
stairs may be concealed, the propri-
etor replied to the inquiries in re-
gard to spending the evening at "a

money overcame proprietor and at
tendant, and permission was granted
to enter the mysterious upper regions.
The visitor stumbled up a narrow
staircase, unlighted. steep, and, the
proprietor leading, the giant on guard
at the rear, entered a room wherein
lay huddled forms of o~rientals on
beds ranged along three sides of the
room. The place was low-ceiled, what
light there was effected but a dim
haze; there were no windows, no VEN
tilation save by the single door, which
now was closed and securely bolted.
One was within; one wondered. IL
there was any hope of ever getting
out.
Frightened Cinnamon rose on all
sides; there was a concert of sounds,
or rather a discord, like unto a Chinese
theater. But the proprietor quieted
the turmoil, assured the patrons that
1t was "all light" and the visitor set

Upon each bed was a tray containing

MALTA. The pipes were long bamboo
tubes; about six inches from the end
was the bowl. The opium was in
sticky form, much stronger than that
usually sold. The manner of using
the drug vas as follows: The China
mar dipped q long steel needle into the
opium. after which he held it over the
flame of the lamp. When it dubbed
and boiled he pressed it into the pass
age of the bowl. Another bit was in
troduced in a similar manner. this
time the incest care being taken
to have it unite with the opium al

needle was withdrawn, there was a
hollow cone of opium protecting about

this is just a beginning. With Inns

LONDON, June S.-Under improved

Spain paid an official visit to the city
and was entertained at luncheon at the
GuiIdhall by the lord mayor and cor

where a special polo match had been
arranged.
After the dinner the Spanish ruler
was present at a brilliant ball given by
the Warehouses of Londonderry.
The only unpleasant incident of the
day occurred during nm automobile
trip. His majesty and three other per-
sons were occupants of the motor car
and had passed through the shopping
district without attracting unusual at
tention when the car was discovered
to be on fire. The king at once alighted
and returned to Buckingham palace in
another motor a provided by detec-
tives from Scotland Yard who were in
attendance on his majesty.

Fire on a Steamer.

Capt. Jepson and officers of the Brit
ish steamer Arranmore, which arrived at
Boston yesterday after an eventfnl and
periIous passagej. from Antwerp, were
much incensed over the failure OF a
French freight steamer, which is bellev-
ed to have been the Bordeaux, in ac-
knowledging their signals, but not offer
ing assistance when informed that the
ArraDmore WAS on fire.
December FIRE started in the after
holj. The crew fought the flames for
three days, and, owing to the fact that
the vessel had on her forward deck fifty
barrels Of chemicals used in the manufac'
ture of dynamite, the situation was an ex-
trsmely perilous one.
Every man on board worked without
a rest for many hours. The hatcbes were
battened down, and steam was forced 10.
to the hold.
At noon on the 9lb, while the fire was
at its height and it was feared that it
would break into the forward part Of the
ship, a steamer bavirg one tunnel and
two masts, and flying the French flag,
overlook the Aranmore, passing close
alongside. Signals were hoisted by the
Arranmore, stating that the vessel was
Oh fire in the afterhold.
The French vessel acknowledged the
Signals and informed the officers of the
Arranmore that their signals were under
stood. The French steamer, however,
steamed steadily by, and an hour later
had disappeared.
That night the fire subsidized, and on
the following day, when the matches
were removed, it was found to have been
extinguished.
The French line freight steamer Bor-
deaux reached New York Saturday, but
made no report of having spoken any
vessel on the voyage.

Brand. New Species Of Grip.

London physicians are reporting the
temperance of Russian influenza, bet
ter known as grip, in a new form, a
neuralgia type of the disease. Attacks
of neuralgia headaches and facial pains
are now enormously prevalent A
specialist believes there will be repeti-
ton of the headaches and neufalgias OF
the sixties. These followed the out
break of influenza OF lS49-5O, alter
which, so far SIS he hes been able TO re-
trace it, the disease pursued the same
cycle, finishing with an epidemic OF
neuralgia headache. He expects some
thing of the same sort for year or two
to come. Another authority, who COM
firms what the specialist says, looks for
ward to the disappearance Of influenza
after a season or two. AS some 80 per
cent. of the population must now have
suffered from the disease it will probably
not return unit! 80 or so years from
now, according as the immune popula-
ton dies out.
